Russell of Georgia into a slim and bitterly contested victory today over Sen. Kefauver of Tennessee in this state’s presidential preference pri- mary. Late vote tallies, coming out of the rural counties near the Georgia -Alabama border were just a little more than Kefauver could match in the final stages of the count. There appeared to be no reason- able chance for the Tennessean to overtake Russell in this fight for Southern support in the Democrat- ie presidential campaign. All ex- cept three of the uncounted pre- eincts were in far mcounties which were going for Russell and against Kefauver. The vote from 1,311 of 1,682 pre- eincts: Russell 266,735 Kefauver 346,233 Sen. George Smathers (D.-Fla.) had predicted a 2-to-1 victory for Russell in Florida’s first presiden- tial popularity contest in 20 years. Russell had the support of Smath- ers and Sen. Holland (D.-Fla.), Gov. Fuller Warren, the entire Florida congressional delegation and most of the state's political j leaders. But the slow-talking Kefauver waged his familiar hand-shaking campaign across the state with his pretty wife, Nancy, his 81-year old father, and his four children, to cut down the odds and almost pull an upset victory. Russell carried the big majority of the state’s 67 counties. He was ahead in 53 and Kefauver in eight. Most of the six not reporting are | in the North Florida region re- garded as Russell territory. But Kefauver received a flood of votes in Dade (Miami), Pinellas (St. Petersburg), Volusia (Daytona Beach), and Monroe (Key West) that almost made up in concen-! trated strength what he lacked in| other parts of the state. There were no Democratic Na- tional Convention delegates in- volved in the Russell - Kefauver scrap. The party’s 24 delegates will be named in a second primary May 27 and both Kefauver and Russell are expected to return and wage another battle over dele- gates. The Republicans had no candi- date entered iin Tuesday’s presi- |- dential primary which drew heavy voting. A record-smashing vote had been predicted — but indications were the total might not climb above the 707,000 votes cast in the | 1950 primary when Smathers un- | seated Pepper. The Republicans named their 18 delegates last February at a meet- | ing of the State GOP Executive Committee. ‘No-Smoking Pledge Is Retained METHODIST CONFERENCE VOTES AGAINST GIVING FULL MINISTERIAL RIGHTS TO WOMEN SAN FRANCISCO The quadrennial General Conference of the Methodist Church closed a legislation-packed 14-day session Tuesday night with a parting shot at smoking. In the final- fast-moving session, the conference voted to continue ; the no smoking pledge required of ministerial candidates. It also voted against giving full minister- ial rights to women. Church spokesmen said the con- ference made more major changes ‘in church organization than any since the first Conference of the United Methodist Churches in i939. From a Survey Commission re- port on overhauling church struc- ture, the conference chose the least controversial parts and ordered them enacted. It agreed to redraw the organization of the 40,000 local churches, making an expanded of- ficial board the administrative au- thority in each. The 720 delegates from some 25 countries passed resolutions call- ing for elimination of racial dis- crimination and censuring the un- official Methodist Federation for Social Action, which many church- men labeled left-wing. They agreed that Negro churches might join white jurisdictions if all parties consented. Some of the most vigorous de- bate came in the final hours. Urging the conference to throw out the no smoking pledge, the Rev. Dr. John M. Versteeg, Athens, O., demanded: “Did you ever hear of a man coming home and beating his wife and children because he had too much smoke inside him?” The Rev. Dr. Cyrus Albertson, Seattle, voiced the opinion of op- ponents when he said: “It’s not so much tobacco use as the impression ministerial candi- dates will get that somehow the Methodist Church has pulled down its standards.” ton, Miami Beach, a one-time jockey, and Carroll S. Shaw, Mi- ami, an electrician. Surprisingly, Shaw polled more than 7,000 votes and Compton more than 9,000. Kefauver's greatest strength lay in Dade County which the Kefauv- er Crime Committee had tabbed as one of the underworld gathering places. There had been talk that the campaign against gambling in Dade County would weigh heavily against Kefauver in the voting. But Dade gave Kefauver 80,318 votes and Russell only 42,060. With Russell, it developed into a fight to overcome the Dade Coun- Sen. Holland easily won renomi- nation to another 6-year term. In ty vote.

OF KEY WEST 524 SOVIHARD ST. | Wednesday, May 7 1952 War | ‘Roundup | By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN | MUNSAN, Korea (® — Korean truce talks sank to an all-time} low today after the Communists jrejected the Allies’ “clear, final jand irrevocable” package propo- sal. The official Allied spokseman | said “There is nothing left to dis- cuse.”” Top negotiators of each side told | the other: “The next move is up to you.” | Agreement appeared so remote | the United Nations Command pr Posed an indefinite recess of a | mistice talks. But full delegations | will meet again Thursday at Red | insistence. | Negotiators abruptly ended the | jsecrecy which had shrouded the | talks since the Allied package deal | was presented April 28. In Tokyo | Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway prompt- ly announced the virtual Allied ultimatum. It is a 3-point package 1. The U. N. Command would | return 70,000 of 132,000 captured | Chinese and North Koreans in ex- change for 12,000 Allied troops held | by the Reds. 2. The Communists would be per- mitted to build and repair North | Korean airfields. 3. The Reds would drop their | nomination of Russia as a “neutral naiion’ to help police a truce. | Ridgway said this was a paci age to be accepted as a whole. | He said: “Our position is one from which | we cannot and shall not retreat.’ The Communists turned down | this package and submitted a} counter-offer Friday, it was dis-| closed. The Allies rejected it. Under the Red plan the Commu- | nists would get back 132,000 pris- | oners in exchange for 12,000 U. N. POWs. The other two points would be the same as the Allied plan The Reds previously had hinted repeatedly they wanted to swap| Russian supervision for the right to repair airfields. | The big issue is voluntary versus involuntary repatriation of prison- ers. The U. N. Command says | only 70,000 prisoners of war and civilians said they would be willing | to return to Communist territory. | Others threatened suicide rather | than return. | The Allied package provided for | neutral interviews of all unre- turned prisoners after an armis- | tice Communist observers would | be present. Anyone who then said | he was willing to be repatriated would be returned promptly to the | Bill's Southernmost Garage BILL TYLER.
