Florida: governor, 8 U.S, tepre- sentatives, Néw Mexico: governér, U.S. sen- ator and 2 U.S. representatives. Most of the five states have up for nomination candidates for lesser state offices. Many aspirants already are cer- tain of victory tomorrow because they have no opponents. But Re- an and Democratic choices the Democrats’ 1952 choice for vice president, against three Demo- atic opponents who want his U.S. Senate seat: Laurie Battle of Birmingham, who gave up his House seat to try for the Senate; John G. Crom- ‘melin of Wetumpka, a retired ad- miral; and William C. Irby Sr. of Jacksonville. Battle is expected to put up the toughest race against Sparkman. The major igsue is civil rights.

Allen, Gadsden; Winston Gul- latte, Selma; Bruce Henderson, Miller’s Ferry; James H. Faulk- ner, Bay Minette; Henry Sweet, Bessemer; and Jack Owep, Tus- caloosa. * Alabama’s Democratic victors may be a shoo-in this November, since the Republicans haven’t yet decided whether to put up candi- dates for the top offices. In Ohio the feature attraction is the Republican contest for the term of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, which has two years to run Slugging it out are Rep. George H. Bender, a congressional veteran who says he has Eisenhower ad- ministration support, and William Saxbe, speaker of the Ohio House, who has termed Bender a “ward- heeler-type politician.” , Whoever wins here will run against Sen. Thomas A. Burke, former Cleveland mayor, who now holds Taft’s seat by appointment and has no Democratic opponents in his try for an elected victory in November. Ohio’s Democratic Gov. Frank J. Lausehe, who broke the record when he won a fourth term to th J | state’s top executive post, is now JIM FRANKLIN State Senator JIM FRANKLIN offers you EXPERIENCE and SENIORITY and a record of performance which cannot be matched by other candidates.

Rhodes, state auditor and former Columbus mayor, since for the first time in 40 years the two parties’ candiates for the gubernatorial nomination are un- opposed. Indiana has a party-control fight to pep up its primary. This centers in. the 9th District, where Republi- can Rep. Earl Wilson faces a stiff opponent for renomination in State ‘Wilson, now in his 14th year in the House, stands with the Repub- lican faction led; by Gov. George ,N, Craig. Whitcomb is lined up with the “Old Guard” group head- ed by U.S. Senators Homer Cape- hart and William Jenner, who now control the state organization. The party split started two years ago when the senators backed Taft for president and Craig went for Gen. Eisenhower. Otherwise Indiana’s primary day was expected to be relatively quiet, with the state’s 10 Republican con- gressmen facing no challengers for renomination and the lone Demo- cratic congressman, Rep. Ray J. Madden, only nominal opposition. However, the Democrats have candidates in all 11 House districts and think they can upset at least four Republicans in November. In Florida’s primaty, three Dem- ocrats are after the two remaining years of the term of the late gov- ernor, Dan McCarty, who died in office. The candidates, who face a runoff primary May 25 if they get enough votes tomorrow, are acting Gov. Charley E. Johns, Lero Collins and Brailey Odham. Republicans are seeking nomina- tions in only two of Florida’s eight congressional districts, whose re- presentatives now are all Demo- crats. There are no opponents in either the primary or general elec- tion for four’ Democratic congess- men. The primary in New Mexico is a Repdblican‘show, although a hot fight for governor and senator is forecast between the two parties in November, Joseph Rendon, are having it out for the two congressional nomina- tions. The winners will have to take on the state’s two present representatives, John J. Dempsey and Antonio M. Fetnantez, both Democrats who had no primary opponents, Both Sen. Clinton P. Anderson, Democrat ,and former Gov. Edwin L.

For Fortress Is Called Useless BONN, Germany —Germany’s World War II governor of northern France and Belgium described the Fench Union’s stubborn defense of Dien Bien Phu today as “‘the second Battle of Stalingrad, in which the French are making all the mistakes Hitler made.” Former Gen, Alexander von Faikenhausen told an interviewer: “To insist on holding Dilen Bien Phu, like Hitler did his famous ‘fortresses,’ gives this battle a propagandistic significance which can have catastrophic conse- quences. “Dien Bien Phu has no strategic significance.” « Before World War II Von Falken- hausen was a military adviser to Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai- shek. He is considered an expert on Asian affairs. The Nazis arrested him in 1944 for alleged complicity in the offi- cers’ plot against Hitler. After the war the Belgians sentenced him to a long prison term as a war crimi- oo but released him in March 1.
