I think, the present rate is a sound one in relation to the whole international situation." Soviets Again Are Stalling for Time . By WILLIAM L. RYAN Associated Press Foreign News Analyst ' THE performance of Foreign Minister Molotov at Geneva has given clear evidence that the Soviet Union has a big stake in the continued division of Germany for a long time to come. Therefore it must be taken for granted that Moscow intends to mark time indefinitely on other press ing international problems. In balking a start on solution 6f the German problem, Molotov in effect achieved the standoff between East and West which would be necessary to permit Moscow t marking time on tne other major issues. The standoff will not hamper Soviet propa ganda which pictures Mos cow as the hope of world peace. But it surely will hamper any discussion of steps to secure a stable peace. : It was ap parent that without a start on the basic Euro. ( ? x , ' & Bw pean prbblem Germany noth , , .

The two featured races went according to advance expecta tions. In Kentucky, A. B. (Hap py) Chandler completed his po- 1 litical comeback by overwhelm- ing Republican Edwin R. Denny in the fight for the governorship. In Philadelphia, Democratic war horse Richardson Dilworth was elected mayor over Republican newcomer W. Thacker Long streth, who; ent into the ejec tion with the personal indorse ment of President Eisenhower. Democrats engineered a major surprise in Indiana, where they toppled incumbent Republican mayors in both large and small cities. They succeeded in com pletely, reversing the political lineup of Indiana mayors frqm 70 Republicans and 32 Demo ciats before the election to 72 Democrats and 30 Republicans after the votes were counted. Carmine G. De Sapio, Demo cratic National Committeeman from New York, issued a state ment that the Democratic suc cesses throughout the country in the off-year election prove that the party's presidential candidate in 1958 will be victorious. "It is evident," he said, "that the successive Democratic vic tories since 1952 will continue throughout the' country-in 1956." Leonard Hall, Republican na tional chairman, disagreed. He read the results as a sure sign of a Republican victory next year.
