In both the 4th and 7lh Dis- tricts, rather muted and polite first primary campaigns gave way to heated and accusation- filled battles in the runoff. McGeachy, who collected only 20 per cent of the vote in the first primary and did not carry a single one of the six counties in the 7th District, sur- prised political obscrvere with his decision to call for a second try.

JlCase A 1 QS33 China Is Big News These Days an important adjunct to understanding the day-by-day news events that unfold as our new rap- prochement with The People's Republic of China develops is knowing the background of this giant country of the Far East.

Its politics and people have been hidden behind the Bamboo Curtain for more than two decades. Its population represents fully one-fourth of all mankind. Its leaders are shrouded in mystery and dedicated to their cause of com- munism. One way to have the facts on hand is a concise, easy reading, close-to-the-news booklet now avail- able through this newspaper. Written by The Asso- ciated Press 1 No.

1 China-watcher and expert on the East, veteran correspondent John Roderick, this explains fully the leaders, philosophy and history of the "awakening dragon" that is China. Much of it written as a first-hand account as only Roderick could relate, it is a publication that will be extremely helpful to you in the coming days and months.

Television commercials by Lennon in support of McGeachy claimed that Rose would not be able to get appointed to the House Agricultural Committee a he had pledged to try dur- ing McGeachy's attacks, saying he was "disappointed" his op- ponent had chosen this ap- proach to campaigning. The Democratic nominee faces nominal Republican oppo- sition in the fall from Jerry C.
