The controversy was touched off
by ertorts of Harold E. Stasscn

from the No. 2 spot on the Re

At that time the President said
Nixon is "perfectly acceptable"

Republicans Reject
Kansas Governor
In Primary Voting
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Republican voters in Kansas
yesterday rejected Gov. Fred
Hall's bid for renomination while
Michigan Republicans overwhelm
ingly picked Mayor Alfred E. Co
bo of Detroit as their candidate for
governor.
In Missouri, lawyers Herbert
Douglas of Neosho and Albert E.
Schoenabck of fit. Louis were bat
tling head-to-head for the Repub
lican nomination for the U.S. Sen
ate. It appeared absentee ballots
might decide the issue.
Hall's defeat by State Rep. War
ren W. Shaw marked only the sec
ond time in half a century that a
Republican governor of Kansas
had been denied a chance for a
second term.
The campaign that led up to the
primary was rated one of the bit
terest in Kansas history. One ma
jor issue was Hall's veto of a
"right-to-work" bill that would
have made It unlawful to deny
anybody a job for membership or
nonmembership in a labor union.
Leaders of organized labor in the
state backed Hall against Shaw, j
who favored the Dill.
On the Democratic side, Harry
Woodring and George Docking
were less than a thousand votes
apart in their fight for the gov
ernor nomination.
With 2,354 precincts reporting.
Docking had 51.168 votes and
Woodring had 50,321.
Woodring served a term as Kan
sas governor during the depres
sion and later was secretary of
war in the Cabinet of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Docking, a
Lawrence banker, was his party's
unsuccessful gubernatorial candi
date two years ago.
Republican U. S. Sen. Frank
Carlson had no trouble winning
second-term renomination, outdis
tancing Judge Walter Biddle of

ate failed to confirm him as as

D'Ewart, a former Montana Re
publican House member, was a

He said last week he was sorry
that failure of the Senate to ap
prove his nomination made it nec
essary to leave the Interior post.
The Agriculture Department
