Nomination for sheriff In both parties looks like a lovi-up. There are light democrats and 11 repub licans on the ballot and with that many out and the fact that only simple majority and not a plurality Is needed to nominate, tho races appear to go behind qualifications for office.

US Mum On Peace Push By Russia WASHINGTON, May 18 UP Th White House remained silent today on Premier Stalin's acceptance of Henry A. Wallace's proposal for a discussion of differences between the United State and the Soviet Union. President Truman's press secre tary, Charles G. Ross, anticipated a question concerning the Moscow radio broadcast when he met with, newsmen this morning. "The question Is Ross began. "The 6talin-to-Wallace " a re porter began. "The answer is no comment," Ross said, and that ended it. The nature of Stalin's proposals for discussion with the United States gave support to American of ficials' suspicions that Russia is pressing a "peace offensive" for dip lomatic and propaganda advantage. Since V-E Day the United Slates and Russia have been at odds on al most every one of the issues Stalin listed in endorsing Henry Wallace's "open letter" of May 11 as a "con crete program" for possible settle ment of differences. There was no immediate hint whether the United States would reply at all and If so what th nature of the response might be. Both the White House and the stats department were silent. No reply necessarily Is called lor. . The administration Is already on record as-to what the Russians can do If they seriously want to work for peace In the world. Secretary of State Marshall stat ed it May 12 in his sum-up of the situation after Soviet Foreign Min ister Molotov announced readiness to accept an offer he said Ambas sador Walter Bedell Smith had made to negotiate. Marshall said the United States has not offered to enter into any two-power talks with Russia for a. settlement of problems also con cerning other nations. If the Rus sians are serious, he said, they can act through the United Nations and other international agencies. Wind Whips Basin Area Folks In these parts were getting; plain discouraged.
