Primaries Roosevelt Wins James Roosevelt, eldest son of the late President, ran away with the Democratic nomination for congressman in California's 26th District, Roosevelt defeated his prin cipal opponent, Ned Redding, by a 6-1 margin despite his marital troubles which had led Stephen Mitchell, Democratic national chairman, to withhold his sup port.

His Republican opponent in November will be Theodore Owings, victor in the GOP pri mary. None Like Nomination by Warren both parties, possible under California's sys tern of cross-filing in primaries, seemed beyond the reach of any candidate at least in the sweep ing mariner achieved by Chief Justice Earl Warren when he was governor. Gov. Goodwin J. Knight, Warren's successor at Sacra mento, won the Republican primary by an overwhelming margin but trailed Richard P. Graves for the Democratic nomination for governor. Sen. Thomas Kuchel, ap pointed by Wairer to succeed Richard Nixon when he became Vice President, won the Repub lican nomination for the Senate but trailed Rep. Samuel W. Yorty in the Democratic pri mary. In California" 6th District, John F. Baldwin Jr., won the Republican nomination for Con gress but trailed Rep. Rob2rt L. Condon in the Democratic primary. Last year Condon was classified as a security risk by the Atomic Energy Commission and barred from a weapons test at the Nevada proving grounds. Condon called the ban "stale political charges" and had de nied under oath being a Com munist. In South Carolina, Lt. Gov. George Bell Timmerman Jr., won the Democratic nomination for governor. Victory in the pri mary is tantamount t election in that state. Timmerman won easily over Lester L. Bates. Both candidates had opposed consolidating white and Negrc schools despite the recent Supreme Court decision banning segregation. Sen. Burnet R. Maybank was unopposed for renomination. In other races. Rep. Robert T. Ash more, Greenville, and Rep. James P. Richards, Lancaster, won re nomination. In Iowa's primary. State Atty. Gen. Leo A. Hoegh, who op posed legalizing liquor sales by the drink, won the Republican nomination for governor. mm -f vtiRj Car mock, THE UNDERFED RACER CHURCH: World Conclave a e: i i i i ki " " !-"- i w... an Christians of the world pren commn front?

Total unemployment in nation is lower than it was month ago. In manufacturing industries, says the U.S. Department of Commerce, unemployment is a little higher right now, but the rate of climb has not been as steep as it was earlier this sea son. Seasonal Increase Much if not all the improve ment, of course, is due to sea sonal factors like warmer weather, which has spurred hir ing in the construction business and on farms. Jobs almost al ways become more plentiful in May. There hasn't been a May since 1939 when payrolls didn't show an increase. This being the case, last month's downturn in unemploy ment was not particularly im pressive. Government officials frankly admit that the decline in May was smaller than it usually is at this time of year.

The Russians have done much to appear conciliatory to West ern Europeans during the past year. They have made numer-i ous small but effective gestures. These have had considerable effect. Another ingredient in West ern European neutralism is tho" fact that the Communist spear head appears now to be pointed' away from Europe to South-, east Asia. Despite the involve ment of the British and the French in Southeast Asia, the average Eruopean does not get very excited about what seem so remote. It is the Americans , lhe phenornenon calle m ... .Americanism is important.

Furthermore, for the first time in a long while, West Europeans can permit themselves to ex press their anti-American feel- ings. With American assistance' they now have largely recov- ered from their economic crisisC They are, so to speak, feeling, their oats. Fear of German Militarism No less emotional is the atti- tude in France and Britain to revival of West German eco.- nomic power and to American sponsored plans for using Gpr mans in EDC forces. Fear of German power is deeply in grained in peoples who haVe twice in one generation suffered from German aggression. The fear of German militar ism in Western Europe is some thing which tends to make the,. Russian menace seem less im-; portant. The Russians know this and stimulate it. There are other factors tQO. The most important is West Eu rope's general feeling about a. war. Most Western Europeans consider that if there is an atomic war between the United, States and the U.S.S.R., thatne matter who wins it, they wilH not be around to see the end.; ,They believe their beautiful- cities will be destroyed and. their countries made battle- grounds where the titans will it out to the flnishw: Western Europe.

How much deeper in Western European" psychology it is going to gro in the coming months and years cannot be foreseen 't But already the situatiorj which it has created for U.S diplomacy is very difficult in deed.
