Smatwial Race Waxes Warmer As Climax Nears Graham And Smith Both Cover State For Votes- As Primary Nears North Carolina’s action-packed, knock-down, drag-out Democratic Senatorial campaign moved on toward its climax this week with both candidates hitting as many stumps and shaking as many hands as possible. Each side in the race bet-ween Senator Frank Graham and Willis Smith of Raleigh was blaming the other for the injection of the race issue into the campaign. Smith spoke at Asheville on Tuesday and headed for Greens boro where he was scheduled fur a television appearance last night. Former Senator Robert R. Rey nolds, who ran a slow t^d in the first primary, appeared in a trans cribed radio address urging voters to vote.for Smith in the primary Jime 24. Senator Graham spent the first of the week on a handshaking tour of eastern North Canddna where he reiterated his oppositi-m to FEPC and said he believed i» working out the race proUem through educatiHi, r^gum and good will. The senator visited Cumberland. Bladen, Peider, Onslow, Jones, Craven, and Le noir counties. Governor Scott, who appointed Graham to the senate last year and who has supported him strongly, made a transcribed radio speech in his behalf. A considerably lighter vote than the record 618.000 of May 27 is expected, as the Senate race is the only race in about half of the state’s 100 counties.
