Johns Leads In Campaign Expense Listed By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A half a million dollar first pri- mary campaign for half a term as governor of Florida was wrapped up today with final speeches of candidates and left to the voters for decision. Polls opened at 7 a. m. in 1,724 precincts throughout ‘the state as the first of an expected. 700,000 voters streamed in to cast short ballots in which a three-way con- test for the two-year unexpired term of the lafe Gov. Dan McCar- ty was the major item. The three candidates for Demo- cratic nomination—State Sen Le- Roy Collins, Acting Gov. Charley E. Johns and former state Rep. Brailey Odham—flew home from last-day rallies in the big cities of Miami and Tampa to cast their own ballots. Expense Statements, Their final campaign expense statements filed Monday showed Johns had spent $219,000, Collins $161,000 and Odham $130,000 in heir vote solicitation, and all three had balances left from contributors to their official funds. All three said they were confi- dent of winning at least a place in the three-week runoff for the nomination, if not a clear victory with an unprecedented first pri- mary majority. Despite forecasts of generally good weather, election officials were expecting a below normal vote because few contests other than that for the governorship were stirring up interest.There are 1,335,000 voters—1,197,000 Demo- crats and 131,000 Republicans. The Republicans also are having a contest for the governorship nomination between two former Democrats—J. Tom Watson of Tampa and Charles. £. Compton of Miami—but they have done little or no campaigning. Also on the primary election ballot are Democratic contests for two seats on the Florida Railroad and Public Utilities Commission, four seats in Congress and scores of circuit judgeships, state Senate seats, state House of Representa- tives posts and various county of- fices. The Republicans are choosing candidates -for Congress in the First and Seventh districts sur- rounding Tampa Bay. Randolph Scott Stars In Action Film At Islander Seott has one of the indolph e biggest roles of his career in ‘“Man in the Saddle,” Columbia Pictur- es’ newest action film in color by Technicolor, Tuesday at the Island- er Theatre. Joan Leslie, Ellen Drew and Alexander Knox head the supporting east, which also fea- tures Richard Rober, John Russell, Alfonso Bedoya, and recording ar- tist Tennessee Ernie, singing “Man in the Saddle.” All the wide wonder of the West is reported to be pictured in the new film, in which Scott plays a small rancher who is jilted by Joan Leslie. Despite the fact that she loves Scott, she leaves him to marry wealthy Alexander Knox, who offers her financial security. Knox, violently jealous of Scott, tries to run him out of the area. A violent feud erupts, with gun- fights and fisticuffs said to be un- matched in the history of, outdoor films. Scott is wounded in a gun battle with Knox’s henchmen, and is nur- sed by school teacher Eleen Drew in a mountain hideout. Knox, be- lieving erroneously that his own wife has run off with Scott has it out with his ex-rival in a blazing gunfight. Kenneth Gamet wrote the screen play of the Scott-Brown ion, based upon the best selling novel by Ernest Haycox. Andre De Toth directed “Man in the Saddle,” whieh was produced by Harry Joe Brown. The new movie was filmed on location around Lone Pine, Cali- fornia and in some of the most inaccessible spots of the High Sier- ras such as Portals Waterfalls, 9,- 400 feet above sea level. DELEGATES FROM (Continued from Page One) for unification. South Korea and her 15 allies here at the conference insist on U.N. supervision of vot- ing; the Communists demand that all foreign troops get out and elec- tions be held on a basis the West is certain would assure a Commu- nist victory, The delegation of Indochinese rebels, headed’ by graying Deputy Premier-Foreign Minister Pham Van Dong, was met at the airport by an impressive array of Com- munist dignitaries. Among those on hand to greet them were Rus- sia’s Deputy Foreign Minister An- drei Gromyko, Red China’s Rremier-Foreign Minister Chou En lai. and North Korean Foreign Minister Nam 1. In a statement after he from the plane, Pham said the Vietminh delegation was “disposed to continue all its efforts toward peaceful solution of the Indoghina jestion.”” Puan shook hands first with Chou and after a round of greet- ings, drove off in the Chinese diplomats limousine.

Superior Court is weighing the legal points involved. The blonde is Peggy Lou Wolfe Hirsch, 26. The half interest in Hollywood’s Chancellor Hotel is the offer of Glynn Wolfe, 45, husband No. 1 who says he wants her back. The gas well is the offer of William Hirsch, 47, husband No. 2, who Says he wants to hang on to her. All this generosity resulted from Peggy Lou’s suit for divorce from husband No. 1 in order to clarify her status with husband No, 2. All three are friendly, and Peggy Lou seemed pleased as punch by both offers. Her attorneys said yesterday that this is her problem: In 1952 she got a Mexican di- vorce from Wolfe, but her counsel now advises her that it isn’t legal and that she should get a Califor- nia decree. After divorcing Wolfe in Mexico, she married Hirsch. Wolfe likewise remarried, And he likewise was divorced in Mexico by his second wife, actress Beverly Marsh. Miss Marsh later got to wondering about the legality of her Mexican decree and filed suit in California courts for separate maintenance from Wolfe: She was granted $500 a month temporary alimony. Wolfe says he sees it this way: If his second Mexican divorce (from Miss Marsh) isn’t any good, then his first one (from Peggy Lou) isn’t any good either, “and T’m still married to Peggy Lou +. and my second marriage isn’t legal and can be annulled.” , if Peggy Lou obtains her California divorce from him they’ll have to wait a year for it to be final and “I can try to win her back.” Hirsch, however, has no inten- tion of being disposed of without a struggle. “I was a bachelor until I married her,” he told newsmen, “and if she sticks with me I’ll give hér a gas well.” Then both Wolfe and Hirsch kissed her—for the benefit of photographers.

For the past four years, he spent the winter in Key West, where he has made num- erous friends. His final visit here terminated with his return to his home in Syracuse on April 23. to start Thursday. Representatives of the Associ- ated States of Indochina — Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia — were still in Paris. But they can get here in little more than an hour by plane once a starting time for the talks is set.

He took off later in the morning by plane for Starke. Rain Slows Voting Rain in other parts of Florida al- so slowed the early morning vote. In Dade County and Miami, the Associated Press reported voting from slow to brisk. The weather was good and Carl Holmer, Jr., Dade County supervisor of regis- tration, stuck to his prediction that 175,000 to 190,000 persons will vote in that county. Some 700,000 persons are ex- pected to vote throughout the state before the polls close at 7 p. m. today. p Slow At Lakeland In Lakeland’s seven precincts, only 2,464 voters had visited the polls by 11 a. m. Two years ago, 4,120 persons had voted by noon. That county is using voting machines for the first time and some officials thought timid- ity over using the machines might be slowing the vote. - But voting was heavy at Orlando where a referendum on a multi- million dollar city improvement bond issue has heightened interest.
