Note pistol in Democrats Seeking Primary Election For Presidents Washington (U.P.) Fifty-three congressional Democrats urged their party Monday to support a "nationwide presidential pri mary" so presidential candidates can be picked by the people in stead of political conventions. Leaders of the group said that would prevent a repetition of the "disgraceful events" at last week's GOP National Conven tion in which the issue of "stol en" delegates was raised. The 18 senators and 35 House members petitioned the Demo cratic National Convention to include in the party platform a plank stating: "We pledge ourselves to the institution of a national presi dential primary so that the peo ple in both parties can select the presidential nominee." The petitioners included one of the candidates for the Demo cratic presidential nominations, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennes see, who won most of the state presidential preference pri maries in which he entered. They also included campaign man agers for two other candidates Rep. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. (D-N. W.), chairman of the Averell Harriman-for-President Committee, and Sen. Ed C. John son (D-Colo.) who is spearhead ing the campaign of Sen. Rich ard Russell (D-Ga.). Leaders of the move are Sens. Paul H. Douglas, 111., and George A. Smathers, Fla., and Rep. Charles E. Bennett, Fla., all of whom unsuccessfully sponsored such legislation in the 82nd Congress.

(International Soundphoto) Famed Maginot Line Target In East vs. West Cold War Metz, France (U.P.) France's Maginot Line, ill-starred mem ento of the nation's shattered dreams of peace, is back in the picture as a primary target in the East-West cold war. Miles of flaking concrete pill boxes nestle against the once more strategic German frontier, resting like wounded veterans their rusting turrets in the sun. Here and there a battle-worn French 75 - millimeter artillery piece, rifling protected from weather with a fresh coat of grease, peeps from a pock-marked turret across fertile fields still strewn with grim rubble and souvenirs of the last great war. Good Protection The battered emplacements that the Germans never really breached have an added signifi cance today. The three-foot thick reinforced concrete shielding the Maginot is rather good protec tion from all but the mightiest artillery or a very close strike by an atomic bomb. The French have been re ported reliably to be improving the Maginot Line. They prob ably have done a little. If the war in Indo-China didn't cost so much, probably they would be doing a lot more. A motorist can drive for a hundred miles through the multi-million dollar emplacements and never see a soldier.

He pointed at the slits for machine guns covering a field of fire for miles. The main German attack went north of the Maginot. The Ger mans, retreating in 1945, turn ed some of the heavy Maginot emplacements around, set up ra dar defenses and forced the al lies to pay bitterly before the defenses fell.. Russians Aware As the Communists give evi dence, the Russians realize the Maginot's value and are doing their utmost to prevent the West from using the fortresses again. "This must never be used again down with the 18 months conscription." The party line signs are plastered in three foot tall letters all over the huge fortresses where the Maginot snakes north through industrial France. Herds of peaceful cattle graze contentedly over the forts where several divisions could be em placed in case of another war. "There are no soldiers now," a local farmer said, "but as you have noticed, the guns are oiled."
