DUNN, N. C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 6, 1952 Russell Says He Won't Bolt Three States Are Holding ! Primary Today j WASHINGTON (IP) Pres idential primaries in Ohio, Florida and Alabama today gave Sen. Estes Kefauver a good chance to recapture the lead in the contest for delegates to the Democratic national convention. Kefauver won his eighth primary victory—and picked up an addition al 18 convention delegates—in Mary land yesterday. That ran his dele gate total up to 88 1-2, but he still trailed Mutual Security Ad ministrator W. Averell Harriman, who has 94 1-2. mostly from New York. It takes 616 convention votes to win the nomination. Republicans voted today only in Ohio, when Sen. Robert A. Taft was assured of winning a big enough bloc of home-state delegates to re gain the lead from Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in the GOP delegate contest. IKE NOW AHEAD The latest United Press tabula tion gave Eisenhower 288 delegates and Taft 273. A GOP candidate needs 604 votes to be nominated. Neither Taft nor Eisenhower swelled his delegate total as a re sult of the Maryland primary, since GOP voters merely picked unpledg ed delegates to a state convention which will elect Maryland’s 24 del egates to the convention . Virtually complete returns from the Maryland Democratic race gave Kefauver 117,499 votes against 40,649 •in favor of sending an un instructfd. delegation. - - Although his big test today was Shelby.today due to the death of her pect|for a substantial gain in'dele- 3 strength was in Ohio, which, Florida Democrats do not elect (Continued on porn two) Town To Seek Powell Funds In a letter mailed to Mayor Ralph Hanna, the town board was informed of the steps which must be taken in order to assure further funds from the Powell Bill for the /Town of Dunn.
