Raymond P. Shafer, of Meadville, piled up a top-heavy margin in his home county to dash the senatorial hopes of Edward M. Young, Grove City Republican, who served five terms in the lower house of the General Assembly.

Mercer County Republicans favored Young by 8614 to 3604 but could not offset Shafer's 7210-1- vote advantage in his home county where he polled 8,344 to Young's 1,134. The unofficial totals for the 167 precincts in the two counties were: Shafer 11,948 Young 9,748 The Democratic' senatorial test between Paul M. Smith and Harold B.

Chiefs of government, foreign ministers and defense ministers meet Saturday as the Political Consultative Committee of the Warsaw Pact, the Kremlin's counterpart of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

It marked the first time since 1938 that Mercer County Republicans had rejected the organization candidate in favor of an independ- 1 4 ent.

"From this time on every Democrat must enlist in the fight for victory in November in which we can march hand-in-hand with independent and Republican voters who believe in good government, and who share our confidence that Pennsylvania can become the first state in the nation in every aspect of Its community life. "There.is no doubt in my mind that the success we have had in the primary is a prelude to an overwhelming Democratic victory in November."

Charles de Gaulle, Premier Pierre Pflim- lin today prepared to send an emissary to defiant Algeria. The Premier is sending Gen.

Henri Lorillot, the chief of staff of the combined forces. Lorillot's mission is to confer with Gen. Raoul Salan, the French commander in chief. Salan is walking a tightrope between the Paris government and the French settlers and military officers in Algeria who demand that De Gaulle take over the French government. Pflimlin's efforts to re-establish normal contact between Paris and Algeria got no public encouragement from across the Mediterranean.

Alain de Serigny, a top leader of the insurgent French settlers, said today that 'we will accept no one but Gen. De Gaulle." The Premier promised the National Assembly Tuesday to take all steps to restore the Paris regime's authority over Algeria. The Assembly, in a smashing 475-100 vote, continued the government's emergency powei's under which it fights the Algerian war and at the same time left De Gaulle standing in the wings. Had the Assembly wanted to return the wartime resistance leader to office, it could have paved the way by voting against Pflimlin. Instead the Premier got support from virtually all elements in the Assembly except the extreme right.

It was one of the biggest majorities ever won by a postwar French premier, apparently due to the deputies' fears of De Gaulle's offer to head a strongman government. Pflimlin told the Assembly he would leave day-to-day control of Algerian affairs in the hands of Gen. Raoul Salan, army commander in the North African territory. The government put Salan in full charge after an Algiers mob of French settlers and soldiers a week ago defied the Paris- appointed civil officials and demanded De Gaulle take over the government. Pflimlih'said Salan had at times acted with government approval and at times under the pressure of He said the military chiefs in Algeria had "fulfilled the need to safeguard national unity, public order and republican legality." The Premier added that his government would "take all steps in the coming days to assure the complete return to legality" a return to Paris control in Algeria.

But the rising tide of McGonigle votes in Philadelphia must have erased any misgivings because that's exactly how it reacted among a score of jubilant aides at Republican State Committee headquarters. McGonigle had more than a usual victory handshake for George I. Bloom, Republican state chairman. It was a shoulder-grabbing hug for the man perhaps more instrumental than anyone in putting over the McGonigle nomination.

He put so much stress on the dangers In Inflation and mounting deficits that he appeared to rule out the likelihood of White House support for a general cut in federal income taxes. James C. Hagerty, his press secretary, told newsmen in re- sponse to questions that the President's remarks about 'an ep.vly decision on taxes should not be interpreted as meaning necessarily that the administration will advocate a cut.

The President addressed 2,600 business leaders at an economic mobilization conference called by the American Management Assn. He was introduced at the conference dinner by Vice President Nixon. The vice president told the business at an afternoon session that political pressure for an emergency tax cut directed at benefiting consumers should be resisted. Early in his speech the President called on all Americans to marshal for a new offensive to promote an early upturn and renewed economic growth that is vigorous and strong. He made a strong plea to industry and labor to reduce prices and avoid inflationary wage rises.

50-Acre Hempfield Section Annexed To Borough Today Annexation of a 50-acre section of Hempfield Township into the borough of Greenville became effective today. A fact-finding commission in April agreed with a court decision that the annexation was legal and proper, ending a year's dispute between the two governing bodies. State law prohibited an annexation within 60 days prior to an election to become final until one day following that election. Trouble began last May when the developers of the section known as Hempfield Acres, Dr' Samuel M. Hazlett, and B.

Baird Gibson, petitioned borough council for annexation. Hempfield decided to fight the annexation at a mass meeting in June, 1957. Weather Sunny, rather breezy and mild today and Thursday. Fair and cool tonight. High today 66-75.
