Republican voters in Pennsyl
vania nominate candidates for U.
S. Senator and Governor tomor
row with national interest focus
ed on the primary election's im
pact on 1952 presidential man
cuvering.
Governor James H. Duff,
candidate for the U. S. Senate
nomination, chose former Judge
John S. Fine of the state super
ior court as his running mate for
governor. Duff said he was wil
ling to stake his political future
on a fight to oust the old-line
party leadership.
Opposing Duff for the senator
ial nomination is Representative
John C. Kunkle, a six-term vet
cran from Harrisburg. Jay Cooke
Philadelphia banker and former
city GOP chairman, and Judge
Charles S. Williams of Lycoming
County are the other candidates
for governor.
Both Kunkle and Cooke had
the full support of former U.
Senator Joseph R. Grundy, for
three decades the top GOP
strategist in the state. An 87-year-old
retired manufacturer,
Grundy says he considers poli
ties "a public duty."
It was on Grundy and Grundy
ism that Duff centered most of
his campaign fire. Duff said he
was fighting for "the average
guy" and defied Grundyism as
"government by a few, for the
benefit of a few, at the expense
of the public."
Cooke reported Duff i3 seek
ing to govern Pennsylvania by
"proxy from Washington." Kun
kle accused Duff of "putting his
nersonAl ambitions above the
general good of the party."
The Democrats have a primary
election also, but it has attracted
little interest. Senator Francis
Myers. Democratic whip of the
Senate, is unopposed for renom
ination and Richardson Dilworth,
Philadelphia city treasurer, is the
organization-backed candidate for
governor.
With little campaigning to do.
Myers. Dilworth and their po

Republican row closely, collect

ammunition for the November
election.

Press Clinic
Meets Here
Fifty Attend
Plenty of toes were stepped
on and no feelings were spared
at an editorial clinic on North
Carolina daily newspapers
conducted here yesterday by
Rufus Terral, an editorial writ
er of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
and a member of the
National Editorial Conference.
Copies of at least two edi
tions of each of a number of
papers were sent Terral sev
eral weeks ago and he had
made detailed study of the ed
itorial pages of each one.
At today's session he pointed
out what he considered the
good and bad .points of each
page.
Terral stressed the view that
editorials should not only make
it clear that the paper is for
or against something but
should include a factual state
ment to substantiate positions
taken.
Approximately 50 editorial
chiefs and assistants from all
, sections of the state attended
this, the first North Carolina
Editorial Writers Conference
for daily papers to' be held at
the University. The conference
was authorized by the North
Carolina Press Association at
its mid-winter Institute.
