Blue Defeated in Iowa's Republican Primary ly the Associated Press DES MOINES, June 8—Iowa’s Republican Governor and one of the three Republican House members who had contests were unseated in the primary election yesterday. All other Republican incumbents had smooth sailing in an election which attracted an unexpectedly large number of voters. Gov. Robert D. Blue, seeking his third eonsecutive term, and Rep resentative Gwynne of the 3d con gressional district were the surprise losers. State Representative William S. Beardsley, druggist - farmer from I New Virginia, making his first try ! for a State-wide office, led Gov. Blue from the first returns. The Governor conceded defeat when only half of the State's 2.469 precincts had reported. Unofficial returns from 2,174 pre cincts gave Mr. Beardsley 168,482 ar.d Gov. Blue 109,761. Mr. Gwynne's conqueror was H. R. Gross, a Waterloo radio newscaster until he resigned on entering the race. Mr. Gwynne, dean of Iowa’s congressional delegation, was seek ing his eighth term in the House. Returns from 274 of the district’s 313 precincts gave Mr. Gross 20,743 and Mr. Gw'ynne 16/758. Senator Wilson, seeking a second i term as th* State’s senior Senator, was an easy victor over John N. Calhoun, Burlington attorney, for Republican renomination. Senator Wilson’s vote in 2,173 precincts was 159,871, to 74,163 for Mr. Calhoun. Only two of the seven other In cumbent House members had op position, and they—Representa tives Talle of the 2d district and Le Compte of the 4th district—won by overwhelming margins. There was only one race for a top Democratic nomination, and in that one former Senator Guy M. Gillette easily outdistanced - Ernest J. Seemann in the senatorial con test. Carroll O.

Kentucky Democrats Name Delegates Today LOUISVILLE, Kv., June 8 iff).— Kentucky Democrats gathered for district and State conventions here j today to select delegates to the Democratic National Convention. State Democratic leaders said a delegation uninstructed as a unit on a presidential choice likely would be chosen. Kentucky will have 26 votes at the national convention. Party leaders said an uninstructed delegation would be able to sup port a “favorite son,” such as Sen ator Barkley or Chief Justice Vin son, should their names be put be fore the national convention.

He noted that the pending budget for the year beginning July 1 in cludes nearly $18,000,000 for perma nent improvements and said it was an accepted principle of public finance to meet capital outlays by, borrowing. Under the home-rule plan which he sposored, calling fo ran elected and reorganized city government, the District would be given author ity under a number of specific , checks to borrow up to 3 per cent of the assessed value of taxable property of the District to finance approved capital projects. Amendment Not Proposed. Mr. Auchincloss said he was not proposing an amendment to the revenue bill to provide for flotation of bonds because this would involve various considerations such as the description of the property, the life of the improvement and various technical matters “which cannot be handled in a hasty manner.’’ Even sponsors of the home rule bill now see little hope for its en actment by this Congress. Mr. Auchincloss therefore limited his declaration to a hope that Congress would pass the home rule bill.

I-----—--* state of affairs in our Nation's Cap ital today.” Action Due on Liquor Bill. Also slated for House action today is a bill for control of liquor prices here. It was approved by the Dis trict committee yesterday. The bill would allow wholesalers to write in the resale price in their contracts with retailers despite the Sherman Antitrust Act. Other measures to be called up for a vote include one to authorize ad mission of mental patients direct to St. Elizabeths Hospital, by-passing Gallinger Municipal Hospital. The House met at 10 a.m. and started going through its consent and private calendar first. It was to observe "District day later,” giving its full attention to all local legis lation ready for action. District day was to have been ob served yesterday, but was postponed due to the death of Representative Owens, Republican, of Illinois. Among the .bills the House did take action on before reaching the District legislation was one to authorize $8,000 to be spent by a building commission for an inde pendent investigation of the condi tion of the Capitol power plant. Mr. Auchincloss, who is also chair man of the Building Commission, said the fund, now immediately available, will be used to pay the cost of the investigation to be made by a firm of electrical engineers from New York. Cost Put at 6 Million. The move was taken, Mr. Auchin closs said, because of reports he had received from the architect of the Capitol that the old power plant servicing all buildings on Capitol Hill was in such “bad condition" that it should be renovated.” The cost of this job, Mr. Auchin cioss said, is estimated to run to $6,000,000 or $7,000,000. The House also passed and sent to the White House a long-pending bill authorizing the State of Mary land to build a bridge across Chesa peake Bay from Sandy Point to Kent Island. Several bills were blocked today by objections of House members when they were called up on the consent calendar. Passage under this procedure requires unanimous consent. Among them were those to: Authorize the Defense Homes Corp. to transfer without cost to Howard University two wartime residents near the campus. Authorize construction of a build ing at Suitland. Md„ for the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance of the Federal Security Agency, now located in Baltimore, and provide for acquisition of additional land along the Mount Vernon Memorial highway in exchange for certain dredging privileges allowed to the Smoot Sand and Gravel Co. Appropriations (Continued From First Page.1) stored by the Senate, but few of the 19 money bills sent to the House floor since January have reached the President. The committee scorched the Atomic Energy Commission for its “refusal to furnish * * * information and appraisals of its various budgeted items.” There is much to be desired, the committee said, “in establishing the confidence which the committee must have if it is to continue to supply these large grants of funds under conditions of secrecy.” Priority Ratings Refused.

Michael and Anne will be mar ried here Thuresday by Archbishop Damaskinos of the Greek Ortho dox Church. Michael is a member of that church; Anne is a Roman Catholic. (In Paris, Prince Xavier of Bourbon-Parma said Princess Anne’s family Is opposed to the marriage because "we cannot ad mit of marriage outside the Ro man discipline." Special dispen sation for the wedding had been sought from the Pope, but it was reported refused because of Michael’s insistence that children of the marriage be raised in his faith. Prince Xavier is Anne's uncle.) The King's aide said: “Under the provisions of the Romanian constitution and the statutes of the Romanian royal family, the King of Romania must be an Orthodox and must be mar ried according to the rites of the1 Greek Orthodox Church. Another reason why he should be Greek Orthodox is because the King is J head of the Romanian Orthodox; Church. “The King's children also have to be Orthodox because under the pro visions of the constitution and royal family statutes, the heir to the throne must be Orthodox.” Michael, who abdicated last De cember. has renounced his abdica tion and hopes to regain the throne. He and Anne met in London at the wedding of Princess Elizabeth last December. of its strategic position in modern military defense to avoid facing the practical realities on less impor tant and subsidiary elements of their budget.” During its long hearings, the com mittee sought unsuccessfully to have commission witnesses assign a prior ity rating to various atomic projects. The witnesses insisted they could not do that because they were in no position to say now what phase of research should come first. For example, they said, to give a [ secondary priority now to research in the treatment of humans ex posed to radiation rays would turn out to be a mistake if some one were to drop an atom bomb on this coun try. The committee cut *2.700,000 from what the AEC had asked to operate its three atomic cities. Oak Ridge, Tenn.: Los Alamos. N. Mex„ and Hanford, Wash. It said the cost of running the three cities is "very much out of line.” It also directed the commission to adjust downward its planned spending for research in the non weapon, non-biological and non- j medical phases. But it ordered that none of the cuts should be applied to military projects. No VA Medical Care Cuts. In dealing with the Office of Hous ing Expediter, the committee said it had approved funds to provide for 360 employes to check on law violations in connection with veter ans’ housing. But it refused funds for an additional 244 jobs in the same field. The committee emphasized that none of the cuts for the Veterans' Administration was in funds for medical care. These total $79,833, 602 more than was appropriated this year. Larger cuts in the VA appropria tion were $250,000,000 in readjust ment (jobless) benefits, $50,000,000 In pensions and $18,000,000 in ad ministrative expenses. The committee earmarked $5,000. 000 of the Maritime Commissions funds for plans and specifications for ships necessary for national defense, i Of the commission’s total cash and contract authority, $104,000,000 is for ship construction and modern ization, in addition to $99,000,000 carried over from this year. Man Races Posse To Find Son, 79, Wanted in Killing By th* Associated Press EL PASO. Tex., June 8.—Mex ico's wild Sierra Madre yas the scene today of a dramatic race be tween an El Paso father and a posse of Mexican and United States peace officers. They are both after the El Paso man's 19-year-old son. The posse wants to question him about a slay ing. The father, convinced his son is innocent, wants to reach * him before the posse gets to him and persuade the youth to surrender. Irving Kordish, 41, a jewelry «tore salesman, was shot last Friday as he demonstrated a pair of binocu lars to a customer on the scenic rim above El Paso. The El Paso youth sought in con nection with the slaying has been missing from his home since Friday. He knows the Sierra Madre well, and is armed, police said.

Communist Premier Klement Gottwald is regarded as the leading candidate for the job, with Antonin Zapotocky, deputy premier and trades union head, then succeeding Gottwald as Premier. There was talk, however, that Gottwald might wish to remain Premier, a post he has held since July 3, 1946. In that case Zdenek Nejedly, 70, the education minister, or Zdenek Fierlinger, the minister of industry, were given the best chance for the presidency. Refused to Sign Constitution. Mr. Benes, Czechoslovakia’s sec ond President, resigned yesterday after serving 11 years, rather than sign a new constitution drawn up by the Communist regime which 1 captured the nation last February. He had been voted a life term in 1946 and Gottwald's office an nounced that as a tribute for his long service to the nation, Mr. Benes would be given the presidential country home and paid his presi dential salary for the remainder of his life. He is 64 and attributed his resignation, in part, to ill health. Mr. Benes’ annual stipend will be i$60.000. The presidential country home is an 18th century hunting lodge at Lany, near the graves of the Masaryk family, included First President Thomas and his son Jan, I the recent Foreign Minister. The Masaryks owned the lodge. It appeared doubtful that Mr. Benes would accept residence there. He always has regarded the place as a Masaryk sanctuary and used it seldom during his terms in office. He has a comfortable cottage south of Prague at Sezimovo Usti. which the Czechoslovak people call ’ the city of obstinacy.” They have represented Mr. Benes as sitting out his life there, obstinately show ing his dislike for the new Prague government. Mr. Benes is a broken and sick man. He has only a mild flicker of the firm spirit he exhibited in standing up to the Nazi steamroller and Adolf Hitler. Since the Com munists took power he has been a figurehead. His arteries have hardened. He suffered a stroke last summer, pos sibly due to exposure to the sun. His resignation removed from the government the last important figure wanting strong ties with the west. STOCKHOLM, June 8 (A5).—Dr. Edvard Tabor sky, Czechoslovakia’s Minister to Sweden, said today he has resigned as a protest against political actions in his homeland. Catholic U.

Other independent agencies - in the bill approved by the House Ap propriations Committee generally escaped personnel cuts and some may be able to hire a small number of additional employes. The measure orders the abolish ment of WAA on August 31 and the transfer of its functions and personnel to the Treasury Depart ment. The agency's 1949 budget, request of $106,000,000 was more than halved to $50,000,000. 300 More Would Be Dropped. In addition to the 800 WAA dis-j missals that would have to be made1 here by September,' the agency would have to drop another 300 employes here by June 30, 1949. Nation-wide, the agency would have to dismiss more than 15,000 employes by next June. At present it has a total of 20,000 workPrs. The agency had planned a grad ual reduction of its personnel to 6,500 by June 30, 1949, but the com mittee’s action would force it to more than double the speed of its liquidating program, W'AA officials said. The committee's move in recommending the agency's transfer to the Treasury differs from Pres ident Truman's recommendation i that it be shifted to the Federal Works Agency. VA Personnel Escapes. The Veterans’ Administration re ceived enough money to make any personnel cuts unnecessary. VA may have enough funds to add sev eral thousand persons to its staff during the coming year. The Atomic Energy Commission received funds to increase its staff slightly, but not as much as it had asked. The Maritime Commission would suffer only personnel cuts, if any. but it would not be able to hire the additional 480 employes it had re quested. The Office of the Housing Expediter was given enough money to hire 360 employes in the field. Woman Gestapo Spy Shot; First in Liberated France By the Associated Press PARIS.
