Hall And Capps Also Discard Plans For Second Primary Vote Mayor Ralph E. Hanna will serve the people of Dunn for another two years. The young chief executive, who polled 773 votes in yesterday’s primary but lacked 34 votes of getting a majority will not have to enter a runoff. Earl G. Vann, who ran second in the race with 549 votes, announced at 4:15 this afternoon that he will not, ask for a run-off. “I have reached the decision,” Vann told The Record, “that it would be best not to hold another primary.” Vann extended his congratulations to Mayor Hanna and pledged his full support to Mayor Hanna and the new administration. He also expressed appreciation to the citizens who voted for him and worked for his eilection. OTHERS ELIMINATED With the withdrawal of Vann from the race, two other runoffs were also eliminated. Jesse H. Capps of Ward II and Empie D. Hall of Ward IV announced almost simultaneously that they will not ask for a second primary. This means that the new board will be composed of Mayor Hanna; L.

Meantime, two giant rival rallies went on within a mile of each other in East and West Berlin. The main speaker at the com munist “Peace” rally under clear skies declared, “The danger of war has never been so great.” More than 600,000 anti-communist West Berliners stood before the ruined Reichstag and pledged themselves to combat Soviet imperialism. Approximately 13,800 West Ber lin police and at least an equal number of communist “Peoples” police prevented the rival rallies from clashing in the first two hours.
