Primaries Held
In Several Slates
(By The Associated Press)
Voters in Missouri, Kansas and
Virginia primaries yesterday gave
the nod for November competi
tion to a field of veteran political
campaigners.
In Missouri, state auditor For
rest Smith won the Democratic
nomination for governor with lit
tle trouble, piling up a vote score
greater than the combined totals
of his two opponents, former U. S.
tax collector Dan M. Nee and
former attorney general Roy Mc
Kittrick.
Smith had the support of anti
Pendergast forces in Kansas City.
The GOP primary was tighter,
but with only one-fourth of the
votes remaining to be counted,
Speaker Murray Thompson of the
State House of Representatives
had piled up a strong lead over
his closest rival, lawyer Manuel
H. (Cap) Davis.
In Kansas, former Gov. Andrew
Schoeppel got the approval of
Republican votes as candidate
for the Senate seat being vacated
BLOOMINGTON, 111., (A>) — S.
Clyde Hibbens, police chief, says
he can’t find any motorists doing
courteous acts.
Hibbens agreed to judge a traf
fic courtesy contest. He prowled
the streets with a $5 bill to give
to a courteous driver.
“I thought once I was going to
get rid of it,” he said. “A crip
pled pedestrian on crutches began
to cross the street. Four motorists
came along and all of them near
ly knocked him down.”
by 83-year-old Arthur Capper, a
veteran of 30 years on Washing
ton’s Capitol Hill. Schoeppel de-1
feated Wichita lawyer Harold
Malone.
The former governor’s Demo-!
jcratic opponent for Capper’s* job
! will be George McGill, who has
1 served previously as Senator!
! from Kansas. He ran up a two-to
jone margin yesterday over farm
, leader E. K. Dean.
Virginia Democrats meanwhile
| gave the same two-to-one victory
ledge to Senator A. Willis Robert
son, running for renomination
against anti-organization candi
date James P. Hart, Jr., Roanoke
attorney.

Reefer King To j
Crab In Bering Sea
SEATTLE, (/P)—That wasn’t a
small cargo ship tied up at pier
54 Monday. That was a large fish
ing vessel.
It was the 148-foot Reefer King
just in from the Bristol Bay and
Nushagak river area with 240
tons of frozen salmon in her holds.
Not a bad season, everything con
sidered, her owners said.
The catch includes kings, reds
and chums.
The Reefer King, a former
army vessel, is owned by three
Seattle men: W. D. Suryan, Geo.
Kearney and Sam Rubinstein.
They converted the craft for
fishing purposes, installing sharp
freezing and cold-storage facili
ties, and took her out for the first i
time this season to Alaskan wa- ’
ters. They left Seattle May 24.
“After a good start, the season ;
fizzled out,” Kearney explained.
“But we didn’t do badly, consid
ering the bad weather we had to
buck from time to time,
i The Reefer King, one of the
largest fishing vessels operating
(in northern waters, carried six
net boats and 12 fishermen along
with her regular crew of 10, in
, eluding Kearney and Suryan, on
the maiden effort.
Diesel-powered, the vessel is
equipped with radar and all the
latest navigational gear .
Her next venture will be for
those giant king crabs in the Ber
j ing Sea, Kearney said. The own
ers plan to change her over for
dragging and expect to sail in the
next two or three weeks.

Silvermaster Not
Spy, He Says
(Continued from Page One)
ter read a statement saying he
had been cleared after investiga
tion by various agencies, includ
ing the chief of the U. S. Secret
Service and secretary of War Pat
terson.
He produced a copy of a letter
which he said Patterson had writ
ten in his behalf.
And, he said, Lauchlin Currie
had gone to see Patterson on his
behalf, and that his boss, C. B.
Baldwin likewise had intervened.
That, he said, was after naval
intelligence had said he should
not be trusted. Silvermaster said
that this “was unjustified, a smear
letter.”
Currie was an administrative
assistant to the late President
Roosevelt. His name came into
the current hearings earlier. Miss
Bentley said he had given infor
mation to the communist “ring”
but that she did not believe he
was a communist.
Baldwin is a former govern
ment official and is now the cam
paign manager for Henry A. Wal
lace, progressive party presiden
tial candidate.
Silvermaster’s statement de
nounced as "false and fantastic”
the charges Miss Bentley made
against him.
Then Silvermaster refused to
answer any questions about com
munism. He stood on his consti
tutional rights, he said, and re
fused “on the grounds any answer
I would make might be self-in
criminating.”
