Stevenson Ahead
Of Kefauver in
D.C. Primary
(By the Associated Pbessi
James E. Folsom of Alabama
lost a Democratic primary fight
for a national committeeman post
today, while Adlai Stevenson was
winning a District of Columbia
primary clash with Senator Estes
Kefauver.
Incomplete returns from the Al
abama Democratic primary elec
tion showed Folsom trailing by a
3-1 margin behind state Rep.
Charles W. McKay, an outspoken
segregationist. Folsom has been
denying numerous accusations by
critics that he is “soft on the racial
issue.
Alabama Democrats also picked
a 26-vote delegation to the party’s
national convention. The delega
tion will go to the convention un
pledged to any candidate.
In the District of Columbia,
where residents were voting in a
primary for the first time in 82
years, a counting snarl developed
that shoved a final tabulation into
the indefinite future'. “At least
three or four days’’ was an esti
mate for a final count.
A slate of Democratic delegates !
pledged to Stevenson had a wide |
early lead over one pledged to Ke- i
fauver with about a quarter of
the returns tabulated.
Each party will send six votes j
to its respective convention, but
district residents will not partici
pate in the November general
election.
District Republicans had a fac- |
tional fight going on in their con- I
vention delegation contest, but all
candidates were pledged to Presi- j
dent Eisenhower.

won their fifth straight game last
evening from the Air Force Jets
behind the able arm of the Arctic
Flash, Norm Atuk. The Sham

trophy last week and last night’s
victory ended the controversy as
to how far up the comeback trail
the Jets could travel. Atuk and
Ahkolik went the route for the
