W—A record turnout was expected today as thousands balloted in the all-im- portant state Democratic primary in South Carolina. Seeking nomination—tantamount to election in this state—were can- didates for governor, three other state offices, two. congressional seats, 132 legislative seats,* and scores of county and local offices. Polls in the 1,573 precincts were open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. There were guesses that half or more of the 701,000 registered would vote. A record 346,329 votes came in the 1950 gubernatorial primary. The governor’s race was be- tween Columbia businessman Les- ter L. Bates and Lt, Gov. George Bell Timmerman Jr. of Lexington to succeed Gov. James F. Byrnes. Bates is 49 and Timmerman, 42. Both emphasized the necessity for continuing public school segre- gation. They differed on ways of getting around U.S. Supreme Court decision. Among those unopposed for re- nomination was U.S. Sen. Burnet R. Maybank and U.S. Representa- tives L. Mendel Rivers, Charleston, 1st district; John H. Riley, Sum- ter, 2nd District; William Jennings Bryan Dorn, Greenwood, 3rd Dis- trict; and John L. McMillan, Flor- ence, 6th District. The congressional contests were in the 4th District, between Rep. Robert T. Ashmore, Greenville, and State Sen. Charles C, Moore, Spartanburg; and in the 5th, be- tween Rep. James P. Richards, Lancaster, and Gaffney lawyer Wade S. Weatherford. Out to succeed Timmerman as lieutenant governor were State Rep. Ernest F.. Hollings, Charles- ton, and State Sen. J. Clator Arrants, Kershaw. Oppenheimer Can Present Written Argument To AEC WASHINGTON (#—The Atomic -}| Energy Commission has confirmed that Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer can present written — but not oral —arguments for’ study by ‘the com- mission when it reviews his secur- ity case. A special AEC board last week ruled that Oppenheimer, pioneer atomic researcher, is a “loyal citi- zen” but, a 2-1 vote, held he is a security risk who must be barred from further access to nu- clear secrets. Oppenheimer had asked permis- sion to present both written and oral arguments for the AEC re- view. The AEC last night officially confirmed earlier reports that on- ly written arguments would be allowed.

Commissioner’ of In- ternal Revenue, said yesterday his agency is looking into fin-ncial »¢. fairs of Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) and will wind up the probe within 60 days. Andrews told reporters after a speech the investigation has been in progress for many months. In his speech to a group of: Denver civic leaders, he said -his department has no authority to dis- close such investigations “‘but Mc- Carthy has saved us the trouble— he has announced he is being in- vestigated.” Atty. Gen. Brownell on Oct. 16, 1953, gave McCarthy a clean bill of health on questions of personal finances and possible election law violations, but said the govern- ment still was investigating the senator’s income taxes. A report issued by a Senate elec- tions subcommittee on Jan. 2 1953, taised questions about McCarthy’s financial transactions.

He did most of his campaigning in about 200 homes in the Y-shaped dis- trict. ; His chief Democratic opponent, Ned Redding, community news- paper publisher and a descendant of Thomas Jefferson, predicted he’d take both nominations him- self. Both cross-filed on the Re- publican ticket. In all, five Demo- crats and five Republicans en- tered the race. The 26th District representative for four years, Democrat Samuel W. Yorty, is running against Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel, Republican. Knight, twice elected lieutenant governor by huge majorities on both tickets, inherited the gover- norship in October when Warren became chief justice of the United States. Graves, a former Republican, | was a political stranger to Califor- nians when he decided io take on Knight. He is counting on the new party designation of candidates on the ballot to swing the Democratic nomination his way. Both men cross-filed. The present House delegation is 19 Republicans and 11 Democrats, : All but one incumbent from each Party sought re-election. Scientists think that the ances- tors of modern Eskimos lived near Lake Superior about 2,000 years ago and moved north about that time. PRINTING That Stands Out! Will Make Your Business Stand Out...
