31 ip). Former Gov. Coke Stevenson's lead over Rep, Lyndon B. Johnson for the Democratic U. S.

count of the votes cast in Saturday's primary was 494,532 votes Ste venson to 494,166 for Jhonson. On the last previous tabulation, made last night, Stevenson led by only 119 votes. Can Still Lose Stevenson, 60-year-old rancher. can still lose. If he does it will mark the first time in his politi cal career, which began more than a quarter of a century ago.

There was every indication that the successor to W. Lee (Pappy) OTJaniel would not be decided until the State Democratic Conven tion certifies the returns Sept. 14. pTJaniel did not seek reelection. Both candidates indicate they will not accept the results of the Texas Election Bureau as final.

In Texas Democratic nomination is tantamount to election. In Austin, the state capital, both candidates watched the last trickle of returns come in.

George, Republican candidate for governor, and Alexis I. duPont Bayard, Democratic nominee for lieutenant-governor, were guests at today's Lions Club meet ing in the Hotel DuPont when Francis X.

Gallagher, WILM pro gram manager, presented his im pressions of the three national po litical conventions he Covered in Philadelphia. Mr. Gallagher declared that the true contest of the three conventions was not so much the appearance of the Progressive Party on the politi cal scene but rather the need for both Democrats and Republicans to uphold the faith of the nation. This, he said, would remove the Progres sive threat from any possible sue cess. In his descriptions of the recent conventions, Mr, Gallagher told the club that the Republican gathering was the most important and most interesting because of the contests among the candidates.

Pre-WarFood Prices Vanish Economics Expert Says 'Good Old Days' Gone Forever By United Press An economics professor warned housewives today that the "good old days" of pre-war food prices are probably gone forever.

Oerald B. Cox of. the University of Chicago said he doesn't expect to see prices ever go as low as they were in 1939 and certainly not as low as in 1933 when hey were the cheapest in history in relation" to wages. "Actually," Cox said, "people really wouldn't want them to go that low because such a sharp price drop is always accompanied by unemploy ment and a drop in production That adds up to depression. "In the same connection, more people are hurt by a sharp price drop than are hurt by rising prices because of the unemployment that comes with price decreases.

Cox said it may take a long time for prices to show even a moderate decline because any fall in the cost of living will be gradual. "But that doesn't mean that peo ple who are waiting for cheaper goods should give up and rush out to buy," he said. "That would only prolong the inflationary spiral."
