Lennon RALEIGH Lynn Nisbet, Ra leigh political columnist for North Carolina’s afternoon newspapers, predicted flatly here last night that United States Senator Alton A. Lennon will be elected. He predicted that LShon would win In a second primary but de clared that Lenon may be high In the first primary and that no second would be called. Wrote Mr. NUbet, the State's moot widely-Syndicated political columnist: “Developments of the pact 1# days definitely Indicate there will be no portfire nomination for the United States Senate In the first primary Saturday. , “The same trends Indicate that a runoff to be hold on Jane N will result in nomination of Alton Lennon, if a second primary Is necessary. There to a chance, though less than even at the hour this Is written, that Lennon may bo high In the first primary. “In that event, according to re liable Information, there win not be a runoff called,’* He concluded. Nisbet to a careful, cautions re porter who seldom deals In pre dictions. Erwin Students Given Awards During the graduation ceremonies at Erwin High School last night, ground 18 awards were presented to outstanding students of the school, D. T.

Included In the top awards Was the valedictorian medal presented to Patricia Warren, and the salu tatortan medal given to Rachel - Other awards given during the ° < yh»^ce n ß<S Book cnublaip Race For Senate Holding Top Interest In N. C. RALEIGH IIP) North Carolina Democrats vote tomorrow to try to nominate In the first primary one of seven candidates in a race for the U. S. Senate climaxing a cam paign that was almost a two man i 'affair. As the final hours of the bitter ly - fought campaign ticked away, headquarters of both Sen. Alton A. Lennon and former Gov. W. Kerr Scott predicted victory in the first primary. Each of the others In the field, however, indicated a run-off 'pri mary was likely June 26. If no candidate receives s clear major | lty. the runner-up may demand a j tecond primary. BIG VOTE SEEN A total vote of almost 500,000 was predicted —a relatively light turnout, although heavier than in the first primary for governor six j years ago In which Scott, a former I state agriculture commissioner, j came through to win a run-off. | Many observers considered that Scott victory an upset but proof of his popularity as a colorful cam paigner. Soott has campaigned on his record as governor and on the "go/ forward" program be btitiat “Sd. 1 During fils administration, the state paved thousands of miles of secondary farm -to - market roads and Scott credited his program with extending farm electric and telephone lines, construction of new school buildings and growth of industry. Lennon, an appointee who now is the state's only U. S. senator, has campaigned on a “middle-of the-road" platform and has as sailed Scott’s record, accusing the former governor of being a “high taxer and free spender." The Senate seat left vacant by the death of Clyde R. Hoey on May 12'Is not at stake. Hoey’s death occurred too late for candi dates to qualify for this primary and his successor will be named l to an Interim appointment by Gov. William B. Umstead, the man who appointed Lennon in July, 1953, to succeed the late Sen. Willis Smith. Five of the seven senatorial can didates are seeking both a regular six - year term and a short, two month unexpired term. OTHER CANDIDATE In addition to Lennon and Scott, candidates In the Senate primary are Alvin Wingfield, Jr., of Char lotte, real estate dealer Mazon E.
