o Klixob Heads love tm.. irow in California IPrimarjf Me o San Francisco - (UPD - Vice President Richard M. Nixon clung to a lead today over Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown in late returns from California's presidential pri mary election. Nixon's backers claimed a "stunning triumph" for the vice president, but Democrats discounted this. Nixon was unopposed on the GOP ballot while Brown ran into an unexpectedly strong showing on the Demo cratic ticket by George Mc Lain, a Los Angeles pension promoter and lobbyist. Although Brown and Nixon were neck and neck in the returns, Democrats pointed out that the combined Brown McLain vote was substantially higher than Nixon's. Nixon's backers had not ex pected to come close to Brown's vote because Demo crats had a 3-2 edge in regis tration for Tuesday's primary. But the inroads McLain made on the governor's vote en abled the vice president to give Brown a battle. Both Nixon and Brown came out - a wir.ner. Nixon will take to the GOP conven tion in Chicago in July his home state's 70 convention votes. And Brown, who hopes to be a king-maker when the Democratic nominee is select ed in Los Angeles next month, will head up a hefty delega tion of 81 votes. Returns from 21,544 of the state's 28,783 precincts, many incomplete, gave Nixon 887, 378, Brown 817,238, McLain 380,908. Voter turnout was about 80 per cent. A spokesman of a Rocke- feller-for-president movement claimed that a last minute ap peal for a "silent vote against Nixon showed Repub lican support for New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. William Brinton, San Fran cisco chairman of the Rocke feller group, said spot checks of San Francisco precincts in dicated that Nixon's vote ran 14-15 per cent behind Repub lican candidates for Congress or the Legislature and in some cases was as high as 20 per cent. But his check was limited to a handful of San Francisco precincts. Thomas S. Pike, state chair man of the Nixon for Presi dent Committee, said of the vice president's showing: "It is a stunning victory and a symbol of . solid state support for the vice president. The vote for McLain was tre mendous, a surprise and an upset for Brown." Brown said he was "well satisfied" with the vote. He predicted he would "do even better than (former Gov.) Earl Warren when he was faced with similar opposition in the 1952 presidential primary." McLain, 57, who feuded with Brown over increased aid to the aged, claimed a moral victory and said "I think we made our point."

Small gains predominated In the list but the advance was ragged and lacked conviction. Brokers said Tuesday's sharp runup which carried prices to their best levels since late January may have laid the groundwork for a fairly broad summer rise. Kendall, which announced a 2-for-l stock split plus a boosted dividend, rose V4 on the first trade. Virginia Cnrolina Chemical opened on a large block of 18,000 shares at 25 unchanged. Du Pont, strong Tuesday, fell 1V4 to 208 in the chem icals on 1,000 shares while Union Carbide firmed and commercial solvents rose on 1,700 shares.

San Francisco (UPD Every body found some solace today in results of the California presidential primary election. Supporters of Richard M. Nixon hailed the returns as clear cut evidence that "Cali fornia once again is a Repub lican state ... It is a stunning victory for Dick ... A great day for the GOP." Said De nocratic Gov. Ed mund G. Brown, "I am well satisfied . . . most pleased that the total Democratic vote ex ceeds the vice president's by a very substantial margin . . . California will go Democratic by close to a million votes in November." George McLain, the dark- horse candidate who piled up a surprising vote against Brown, was jubilant. And Republican Nixon followers might give the pension lobby ist a pat on the back because it was McLain's inroads on Brown's Democratic vote that enabled the vice president to run so strongly. Silent Rockefeller Vote Nelson A. Rockefeller, the "available for a draft" Re publican governor of New York, wasn't even on the bal lot - yet his backers professed to see a great triumph in the elections returns. "Rocky for President" lead ers had urged Republicans to vote for ?vcry Republican can didate except Nixon. They claimed this so-called "silent vole" would show Rockefel ler's grass roots popularity. There was no way of telling immediately - and won't be until official results are in 10 days from now - whether there was a substantial silent vote. And when the full re sults are in, the only way to judge will be to see if GOP candidates for Congress or the Legislature got more votes than Nixon. In the final count it U un important for prestige pur poses whether Brown or Nix on winds up on top. What is important is that Nixon captured 70 votes to the GOP convention in Chi cago, Brown nailed down the state's 81 votes to the Demo cratic convention and will go to Los Angeles in hopes of becoming a key figure in choosing his party's nominee. Finally, because write - in votes were prohibited and voters could not cross party lines, the results failed to show how Nixon will fare in November in attracting Dem ocrats or the Independent voter. He will need a sub stantial number of these votes to carry California because the state registration is 3-2 Democratic. Most political observers hadl "And when he failed to re- not expected him to poll more Brieve Chessman last month than 5 per cent of the Demo-1 he got the opposition of those who wanted him saved, Kent said. Before the election GOP leaders predicted Brown would probably outpoll Nixon because of the Democratic vote edge 3,676,495 to 2 519,975 Republicans. ' In Brown's last political contest in 1958, he defeated Senate Minority Leader wit liam F. Knowland for gover nor by more-than a million votes and sent him into po litical retirement. McLain is chairman of the California Institute of Social Welfare. He founded the or ganization in 1941 to promote old age assistance. It claims a membership of 50,000. " Voters also picked nominees for 30 seats in Congress and 100 in the Legislature. Bond issues of $400 million for the veterans' farm and home loan program and $300 million for school construc tion were passed. cratic vote. "A showing such as the Mc Lain delegation made should be an alarm signal to Con gress and to both the Repub lican and Democratic convex tion," he said. "The size of the vote for me should put every politician on notice that the problems of our elderly citizens can no longer be ignored." One of Brown's top support ers, Roger Kent, attributed McLain's strong showing to the fact Brown is at a "tem porary low point" due in part to the governor's actions in the Caryl Chessman case. Kent, Northern California vice chairman of the Demo cratic party, said Brown an tagonized persons opposed to Chessman when he granted the convict-author an 11th hour reprive last February so the Legislature could vote whether to abolish capital punishmen.
