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."

Charles Loring Gove,
In the cur-tody of the

Calif., has admitted to the
burglary of the Standard Oil

county sheriff's office report
ed today.
The sheriff's office was noti
fied that Gove said he broke
the plate glass door and reach
ed in and unlocked the door.
Nothing appeared to be taken,
sheriff's officers said.
Gove admitted to 35 similar
burglaries In Oregon coun

said.
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

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.

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.
