KENNEDY CAN MAKE INROADS:

Wisconsin Primary Tally Indicates Trouble for GOP

By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
Associated Press Newsfeatures Writer
MILWAUKEE - The, final un-
official tally yesterday from Wis-
consin's key presidential primary
turned up potential corn belt pit-
falls for the GOP, and it empha-
sized that Sen. John F. Kennedy
can make inroads in Republican
territory.

The Massachusetts senator took
the measure of Sen. Hubert H.
Humphrey of Minnesota by a com-
fortable but not crushing margin
in the Democratic end of the pri-
mary.
Each demonstrated some politi-
cal punch in rural areas-Humph-
rey more so than Kennedy, par-

ticularly in the state's more hard
pressed agricultural areas. It added
up to evidence of farm discontent
and worry for the GOP.
Pulls GOP Votes
For his part, Kennedy demon-
strated an ability to pull Republi-
can votes to his standard, espe-
cially in Republican counties where
the Roman Catholic population is
heaviest.
From the greatest flood of votes
ever cast in a Wisconsin primary,-
these results came through:
Kennedy racked up 478,118
votes, six of 10 congressional dis-
tricts, and 20 of 30 votes at' the
Democratic national convention.
Votes Tallied
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota gathered in 372,034
votes, four congressional districts,
and 10 votes at the Los Angeles
convention next July.
Vice-President Richard M. Nix-
on took in 341,463 votes in the un-
contested primary and 30 for the
collection he is gathering for the
Republican convention in Chicago.
Nixon had to settle for 31 per cent

of the statewide vote, in a stateI
which is historically Republican.
Behind the stark statistics the
effects of powerful political forces
could be seen, though in general
outlines rather than specific di-
mensions.
Support Analyzed
Kennedy's victory was com-
pounded not alone from Democra-
tic support. He is a Roman Catho-
lic. And Roman Catholics ob-
viously voted for him in large
proportions, regardless of party
loyalties. In some areas Republi-
cans obviously moved over into
the Democratic primary in heavy
numbers.
Wisconsin has a comparatively
high Catholic population of around
30 per cent. In areas where there
are the most Catholics, Kennedy
swamped Humphrey. He piled up
impressive votes, too, in traditional
Republican strongholds - some
of them Catholic, also.
Humphrey showed best in the
farming areas along the western
edge of the state, adjoining his
home base in Minnesota.

Pass Book
Revival Stirs
Controversy
Police Plan To Crush
Negro Work Boycott
LONDON P)--The British gov-
ernment, openly shocked at South
Africa's deepening racial crisis, last
night was reported resisting strong
pressures for the expulsion of
South Africa from the Common-
wealth.
Authoritative diplomatic sources
said pressures are reaching Lon-
don at two levels:
Officially-at least half the
members of the 10-nation Com-
monwealth are known to be con-
sidering formal demands for oust-
ing South Africa unless its rulers
swiftly modify their race policies.
Break Demanded
Unofficially - demands of the
public, press and religious groups
are mounting throughout the mul-
tiracial commonwealth for break-
ing with South Africa.
There were some calls for some
form of penalties aimed at bring-
ing the South African government
of Prime Minister Hendrik Ver-
woerd to its knees. In Britain,
anti-Verwoerd feeling was at a
peak.
In Johannesburg, despite rising
appeals for moderation, the South
African government announced
yesterday it will revive South Af-
rica's pass system for nonwhites.
And police vowed to crush Negroes
trying to prolong the dying work
boycott against white supremacy
rule.

Starts Turmoil
The pass system touched off
the current outbreak of racial
turmoil. Negroes demonstrated
against it on March 21 and police
fired into their ranks, killing 72.
The pass laws were then sus-
pended.
Justice minister F. C. Erasmus
said in a statement that the police
again will be ordered to demand
that all Negroes show their passes
any time of the day or night.
He did not say when the system
will go back into force.
He added that the government
might look into the possibility of
applying the pass laws "in such
a way as to put more stress upon
the advantage they hold for Ne-
groes."

If you fellows can get by the
cover this week, you'll find
LIFE, April 11, to be an excit-
ing mixture of adventure, news
and feature articles. The cover
I call special note to, not be-
cause it doesn't speak for itself,
but because this female is later
in the issue joined by four more
"hairless" dolls in her swim-
ming pool. They all appear in
the movie, "Five Branded Girls,"
Paramount's latest war flick,
which concerns the balding
plight of girls who chose to
make love to the enemy and got
their due in Yugoslavia, 1943.
By all indications, the critics
are seriously impressed by the
production and LIFE relates
to you the full story this week.
IT'S A RIOT-On the more
serious side, LIFE devotes con-
siderable space to the growing
issue of race relation's The fo-
cus is on South Africa; the cov-
erage includes pictures well-
balanced with a text relating
historical data and the outlook
for the future. The time to face
these problems can be' post-
poned no longer. They have a
special significance for Ameri-
cans, for the United Nations'
censure of South African poli-
cies today could devolve on the
United States in the near fu-
ture. For an outstanding cover-
age and analysis of this his-

Bedroom bikinis could just
catch the fancy of enough peo-
ple that perhaps by next year
the one-piece bathing suit will
yield to these scanty duets. If
this bikini craze holds out until
next year, who knows, even I
might run South to see how
successful LIFE was.
ROCK PROTECTION - In
the other strong-hold for spring
recess travellers, New York,
Governor Nelson's fight on fall-
out is presented by LIFE. The
photos of the Rock displaying
his ideas in person to the
crowds of Mid-town Manhat-
tan shows he means business.
With the price of his home
fallout sheltersas low as $100.
and the possibility of their be-
ing tax deductible, its cheap to
cope with the atom threat.
This method of defense is
two-fold. On one hand, 75% of
the population would be saved
from radioactive death, and
yet more important, attack
could be deterred by the fact
that the population would re-
main aLIFE to fight back.
LIFE makes it clear the Rock's
not letting up a bit in his LIFE-
saving crusade against fallout.
C'EST LA VIE-LIFE scans
every area of the University's
interests. Engin schoolers will
find a feature on the biggest
excavation job in U.S. history,
the one at the Niagara River.
Journalists, adventurers, po-
litical scientists and Spanish
majors alike will all take a'
fancy to the story ofathe anti-
Castro flights from Florida
which pose a most delicate in-
ternational problem to add to
Fidel's woes. Beach - bathing
majors will find LIFE this week
to be a quick refresher course
on the "real" world. You en-
joyed sun and sand last week,
so enjoy LIFE this week.

Senate Tables
Amendments
On Civil Rights
WASHINGTON (,)-Two more
S o u t h e r n attempts to whittle
dow"n the civil rights bill were
overwhelmedin the Senate yes-
terday.
A 72-16 vote tabled and thus
killed an amendment which would
have restricted the voting rights
section to Congressional elections.
A 68 - 18 margin tabled an
amendment to exempt special and
primary elections from the re-
quirement that voting records be
preserved for federal inspection.
Sen. Sam J. Ervin Jr. (D-NC)
offered the amendment to the
voting rights section. This section
provides for registration through
the federal courts of Southern
Negroes who demonstrate they
have been barred from voting by
local officials.
The second amendment defeat-
ed, dealing with voting records,
was offered by Sen. Olin D. John-
ston (D-SC). The bill now re-
quires that election records be
preserved for 22 months and be
available to the United States
