4A Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore. Won., June 21, 1954 McCarthy Issue In Maine Election PORTLAND, Maine (ffl Maine put Its vote on the line Monday in a primary in which Sen. Margaret Chase Smith contends that Sen. McCarthy (U-Wis) apparently planted the man opposing her. That is the closest Mrs. Smith has come to openly accusing the Iled-hunting Wisconsin Senator of attempting to engineer her defeat in the Republican senatorial primary. And it was her nearest approach to a direct attack on her com petitor, Robert L. Jones. Jones is a McCarthy supporter. Mrs. Smith definitely is not. The contestants closed their campaigns last night with tandem I television appearance from the Guard Killed As 6 Convicts Fail in Break LANSING, Kan. Wl Shielding themselves wilh six terrified pns on visitors, six desperate convicts tried to force their way out of the Kansas State Prison Sunday. The convicts were armed with three crude .22 pistols and six knives, all made within the pris on. The six men rushed into the visitors' room, where about 25 visitors were talking with prison ers. They seized the hostages, Including two children, and rush ed to the administration building. GUARD SHOT Fred Kenaga, 58, an unarmed guard supervisor with 25 years of service, encountered the group at the administration building door and was shot to death. Inside a vestibule the convicts were stopped by two gates. Threatening the hostages, they yelled for gatekeeper Andy Hol linshead to open the gates. He refused and they fired at him. Warden Charles Edmondson rushed into the corridor and drew fire from the convicts as the hos tages screamed hysterically. The warden got a rifle and stepped into the corridor again as armed guards approached the convicts from the yard in the rear. "I knew we were going to have a showdown, and that we were going to have it right there," the warden said. "I was interested in getting the hostages out, as well as about 20 other visitors in the visitors' hall," he said, "but you just can't run a prison by opening the gates because of pressure from inside." CONS SURRENDER The convicts started shooting but surrendered when the guards opened fire. The wounded convicts were Lawton Ray Collins, 24, Kansas City, shot in the hip, and William Henry Parker, 24, Gage, Okla., wounded in a finger. The other convicts were Donald E. Davis, 27, Sturgis, Mich.; Emmett May, 34, Topeka, Kan.; Robert Leroy Knight, 24, richer, Okla.; and James Tarr, 22, Ponca City, Okla. Warden Edmondson said the six convicts would be charged with first-degree murder for Kenaga's slaying. same Portland Studio They met head-on in a corridor with no exchange of pleasantries audible to by-slanders. Jones told reporters he did say "how do you do." Mrs. Smith had spoken of Mc Carthy in an earlier TV interview with commentator-columnisl Drew Pearson that was filmed several days ago in Washington. Jones followed through by say ing Pearson1 was "brought in here to try and ruin me." The race between the 5fi-year-old senator and the 34-year-old Jones, a novice in politics, is the only state-wide contest in Mon day's primaries. A Jones victory would be a tre mendous upset and political fore casters around the state picked Mrs. Smith as an easy 3-1 or 4-1 winner. The only other competition above the local and county level is for the Republican and Demo cratic nominations in the 1st Con gressional District. Rep. Robert Hale f R-Me) seeks GOP renomination for a seventh term. To a question whether Jones was "a deliberate plant by Mc Carthy," Mrs. Smith responded: "That s what it appears to be. Asked why "McCarthy has been so vindictive," Mrs. Smith said she had been told that "what he holds against me" is a famed declaration of conscience" she directed at her fellow senator in a 1950 Senate speech. Both Jones and McCarthy have denied that McCarthy has taken any hand in the Maine primary. Jones has concentrated in rip ping into Mrs. Smith's record, and Mrs. Smith on defending it. They did it again on TV Sunday night. Jones said it is a "do nothing record. The senator said it is an out standing and effective one. Each claims to have been sub iected to cairmaicn smears, with out siying what they were. Never before a candidate for pub'ic office, Jones has no record of his own to run on. He contends he gained valuable legislative ex perience as a former assistant to Sen. Potter (R-Mich) and former Sen. Owen Brewster (R-Me). Some political prognosticates estimated the total vote in the Smith - Jones race , would be around 100,000 to 110,000 compar ed with a record 134,000 when Brewster was knocked over in 1952 by Sen. Frederick G. Payne. CHECK THESE VALUES! You can SEE that these, and the ones on the next page, will make it worthwhile to SHOP TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY. AY&WE IMS Sensational Special Purchase!
