Mallory E. Home swamped his only opponent, L.

D. (Doug) Dobson, by a better than five to one margin in yesterday's special legislative primary. Two other Tallahasseeans, Dexter Douglass and Sen. Sam Teague, face uphill runoff battles with incumbent senators from counties to the west and, should they be victorious March 14, will face Election Pages: 6, 7, 12 Republicans in the March 28 general election. Horne has no Republican opposition.

He beat Dobson in. the nine-county Fifth Senatorial District 28,884 to 5,454 carrying every county by healthy margins. i All three senatorial districts encompassing Tallahassee are made up of Bay, Calhoun, Gadsden, Holmes, Jackson, Leon, Okaloosa, Walton and Washington counties. DOUGLASS BEHIND Douglass was 2,203 votes behind Sen. Dempsey Barron of Panama City in the seven-man Democratic primary.

Barron carried his home of Bay County by a 5-1 margin while Douglass led by only 5-4 in his home of Leon where a strong campaign was waged for Barron, with insurance interests taking a big part. The vote in that race was: Frank Alderman, Barron, Douglass, Sam Foor of Tallahassee, 498; T. M. King of Tallahassee, 520; J. B.

Lahan of Panama City, 3,453, and former Sen. John Angus McDonald of DeFuniak Springs, 3,038. Sen. William Dean Barrow of Crestview had a 3,175 lead over Sen. Teague but the 10,313 votes massed by Sen.

Hal Davis of Quincy and Teague's 11,510 were enough to keep Barrow, with 18,648, from winning without a runoff. GIBSON WINNER To the east of Tallahassee, Sen. L. P. (Pete) Gibson of Perry defeated Jasper automobile dealer Cecil A.

The CIA "would like to re place the lofty cause of cultural and scientific exchange with the dirty cause of espionage," said a long article in the Soviet Communist party paper. "Of course," Pravda said, "far from all American scien tists and students who arrive in the Soviet Union are profession al agents of U.S. intelligence or are 'volunteers' who took upon themselves the fulfillment of espionage functions. "But one has to take into con sideration that the CIA tries by any means to involve in espion age work as many American students studying in the Soviet Union as possible." 300 STUDENTS The article said some 300 stu dents and exchange professors have come here since the So viet-American cultural ex change program began in 1958 "The first American students had hardly settled down in Mos- cow University buildings" when the U.S.

Embassy's military attache ordered his subordinates to use the students to collect espionage information, Pravda charged. The U.S. Embassy said it would be inappropriate for it to make detailed comment on the charges because the question of CIA links with students is under review in Washington. Pravda brought in the name of Prof. Albert Todd who it said led a six-week summer prepara tory course for exchange stu dents going to the Soviet Union while he was at Indiana Univer sity.

It claimed Todd was "a long time agent of the CIA."

The official report estimated the Communists fired 1,000 mor tar shells at Marines during a day-long battle Tuesday about 10 miles south of the buffer ter ritory that separates North and South Vietnam. Evidently seeking to interrupt the shelling of North Vietnam across the zone, the Commu nists lobbed 475 81mm mortar shells at the positions of some self-propped 175mm guns that had been moved to within two miles of the zone.

A spokesman said there was no damage to the big guns, which can fire shells up to 20 miles, and that American casu alties were light.

But vociferous members of both parties who want Powell removed from Congress promised to try to block the commit tee's proposal, and a tangled parliamentary path awaits the censure resolution before its likely approval later in the day, MANY POSSIBILITIES Although many different possibilities exist, some form of ouster seems the most likely result if the committee's censure resolution fails. The debate could end in a couple of hours or drag on into the evening. Powell wasn't expected to appear for the debate.

At last word he was at his fishing retreat on the Bahamian isle of Bimini, along with his secretary Corrine A. Huff. The resolution also would remove Miss Huff, a former beauty contest winner, from a job on Powell's office payroll. Barricades were made ready in the halls of Congress for the large crowd expected for the debate. Plans were made to clear the visitors' galleries every 10 minutes.

Police decreed that no one but employes and persons with gal lery cards could go upstairs to the House floor and gallery.

What we're getting, rather, is younger people with larger families of children.

It probably tells us, too, that more Negroes are staying in school longer, and that the campaign against dropouts generally is having some effect. Since the enrollment figures are for kindergarten through 12th grade, it probably reflects slowly increasing number of children in 1 i kindergartens; but there are so few classes for children below first grade that the true proportion of pupils to population (Continued on Page 2, Col. 7) Dumpling War Is Called Off MUNICH.
