PAGE TWO * ? Elections In East Hold Mild Interest New York. March 30.?It's politics as scheduled?this being an election year?but not "politics as usual" in the nation's populous eastern states. And here's why: Regardless of how the politicians feel about it, the electorate's reaction in most of the east ranges from mild interest to downright apathy so far as the usual local and domestic issues arc involved. The voters are concerned primarily with the successful prosecution of the war. There are several significant exceptions. these being in New York and Pennsylvania where contests for governor are raising the political temperature and in West Virginia where election of a United States senator is causing the commotion. ?leci Seven Senators The eastern area?New York. Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Connecticut, Maryland, Maine, N e w Hampshire. Vermont. Massachusetts, New Jersey. Rhode Island and Delaware?will elect seven United States senators, seven governors and 136 memoers 01 tne House ot representatives. As for other issues: The farm question has concerned the region only slightly. Outside of a few areas the furore over congressional pensions has subsided. The public generally appears to have lost interest except where the local and domestic issues are tied in with the war effort taxes, cost of living and other war-created factors directly affecting the individual. There appears, too. to be a general inclination to examine the voting records of congressmen on the war effort, particularly before Pearl Harbor. Those who supported the President's foreign policies before Pearl Harbor appear to h a v e strengthened their positions with the voters, regardless of party. Much Alive In New York, President Roosevelt's home state, however, the sentiment for elections and "constructive" politics and criticism is much alive. The activities of two national Republican leaders, Wendell 1,. Willkie and Thomas E. Dewey, will be closely watched with an eye on the Presidential campaign t w o years hence.

Unless he accepts a war post in Washington, tc which persistent rumors say will be v< i offered him, he probably will run ti ! again. I t' If he does not. the Democrats are v; looking to Lieut.

Farley has indi- L | catcd Bennett is his choice if Leh- v l man does not run again but his s< friends arc hopeful he (Farley) will 11 run. H Willkie has indicated he does not ill want the governorship. He has said he will oppose Republicans and N' Democrats alike whose records do yc not conform with his idea of all-out j ei support of President Roosevelt's It prosecution of the war. in In Pennsylvania both major par- j gi ties are embroiled in a four-way 1 ct fight for the gubernatorial nomina- I tions in the May PJ primary, al- D though the campaign is overshad- i tc j owed by the war effort.

'Pin1 appeal was issued by Dan A. 'est. director of the OPA consuinr division. He advised consumers > question any increase over midlarch prices and report immediateto OPA any "marked increase." Wholesale prices of most pork prodcts are now covered under a tcmorary price ceiling based on March -7 price levels. West observed that present retail cirk prices were nearly the highest ver rcorded for this season of the car and that supplies were limited. "Meat sellers have an important bligation to the nation's health to roid further price rises which will iake it impossible for many famies to buy these products,"' lie deared. In Australian slang a cossie is a vimming suit. ar effort and labor difficulties, one the outstanding issues of past ennsylvania campaigns, have not isen. On the Republican side are Sonair James J. Davis, the party's best jte getter in the last three elccons; Major General Edward Marn. former commander of Pcnnsylmia's 23th division and the choice " State Chairman Torance; State epresentative Ivan S. Walk ins, ithout organized support, and ieutenant Governor S. S. Lewis, oteran office-holder. Democratic notorial candidates are Judge R. . Smith; F. C. Ross, Dr. Luther A. an. and W. N. McNair, former myor of Pittsburgh. In West Virginia, Gov. M. M. eciy, who left the senate after 30 ears in Washington to run for govnor. may again seek a senate seal, he does. Herman G. Kump. who i 1933 became the first Democratic jvernor since 1917, probably will >ntest him for the notination. Down in North Carolina, where emocratic nomination is equivalent i election, Senator Bailey is being jposed by R. T. Fountain of Rocky ount.
