Olive assured a lively race today for the gubernatorial nomination in the May 31 Demo cratic prima y and heightened spec ulation about how forces will line up. Olive and former U. S. Sen. Wil liam B. Umstead of Durham are considered the principle contenders by experienced observers, but two other candidates are also in the race: Shelby attorney E-nest Gard ner and Charlotte realtor Manley Dunaway. Whether Olive’s long-awaited an nouncement completes the roster of candidates remained a prime question today with the answer perhaps hinted by the similarities between Olive’s "platform of pro gress" and Gov. Kerr Scott's "go forward” program.

The governor will return here Saturday. Olive. 56. tossed his hat in the ring in an announcement yesterday and called for better roads, vchools, more rural electricity and tele phones. and toe development of (North Carolina’s natural resources.
