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.
