Ironically, both Democratic gubernatorial candidates, who top the ballot in the same primary, are pledged to maintain segregation. Why are the two making the race?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) The first Negroes to qualify for Louisiana's Democratic legislative runoff in half a century make their bid for victory at the polls tomorrow.

The five are Highway 10, beginning at the intersection of Highways 82 and 15 near Maben and running easterly through Columbus to the Alabama line, and from the intersection at Cumberland westerly to the intersection with Mississippi Highway 9 at Walthall; Mississippi Highway 20 from Fayette through Hazlehurst, Georgetown, Pinola, Magee, Mize and Laurel; Mississippi Highway 55 between Saucier and Biloxi; Mississippi Highway 59 from Fontainebleau north through Benndale to McLain; Mississippi Highway 57 beginning at Biloxi and extending north to Beaumont. Highways 10, 20, 55, and 59 are designations for Interstate Highways in Mississippi, while the renumbering of Highway 57 is being done to retain conformity in the highway numbering system. Highway 10 will be renumbered Highway 50; Highway 20 will be renumbered Mississippi Highway 28; Highway 55 will be renumber-ed Mississippi Highway 67; Highway 59 will be renumbered Highway 57; and Highway 57 will become an extension of Highway 15 which runs from Beaumont in Perry County to the Tennessee line.

The Commission said that plans have been made to begin the renumbering immediately, beginning with Highways 57 and 59 and extending to the other highways as soon as possible. yr Jl Farm Questions And Answers ing fed will help to reduce feed costs and improve profits.

How many vegetables year-old mother's frame house, is a graduate of Dillard University in New Orleans and Southern University in Baton Rouge.

Both are Negro schools. His second-ward rival is incumbent Patrick McGittigan, 49-year-old saloon manager. McGittigan is facing trial under the state's corrupt influence law. An elderly couple accused McGittigan of accepting $2,000 in return for a promise to get their son out of prison. The couple said the promise was not kept.

80-Vote Lead However, McGittigan has been elected ward representative three times running since 1948. In spite of the charge, he held a slim 80-vote lead over Wheeler when they finished one-two out of five candidates in the Dec. 5 first primary. About 40 per cent of the ward's 3,600 Democrats are Negro. McGittigan concedes the runoff will be close.

Ortique is a graduate of Dillard, Indiana University (where he majored in criminology) and Southern. He said he is the first Negro to work for Louisiana's Department of Labor. Ortique thinks his chances are only slim in the Seventh Ward where about 25 per cent of 28,000 Democrats are Negro. He got 4,000 votes in the first primary and trailed Salvador An-zelmo Rodney Buras and incumbent Lucien Vivian Jr. (5.200).

They were the top four of 13 candidates for two legislature seats. Both Ortique and Wheeler say they are not endorsed by the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People. Neither campaigned on integration, but both said they personally favor it. should be included in a dinner By GEORGE W.

CORNELL NEW YORK (AP) The businessman and the artist were back on good terms today. The artist promised to be a little more businesslike. And the businessman said he still loves art. "There are no hard feelings," said industrial equipment executive Eugene Gomes. "I like the fellow." Said sculptor Jacob Lipkin: "He has a soul, after all.

It's time we relax and bury the hatchet." Their trouble arose because Gomes thinks that even artists, much as he likes them, should pay their bills eventually, and because Lipkin doesn't like to deal In such a crass medium as money. "I never have anything to do with money if I can help it," the 51-year-old sculptor said. "I wanted to give him something beautiful instead." Heavy Problem Gomes 63, says he tried to understand, but: "What could I do with a two-ton stone camel in my apartment? I'd have no room to live there." About two years ago. Lipkin obtained some dolly wheels from Gomes' moving-equipment sales company. He wanted them to move heavy stone blocks around his studio.

Gomes, who patronizes the arts as a hobby, agreed to let him have the wheels on credit. Ultimately, however, account ledger and art temperament collided. Lipkin wanted to pay by barter with a piece of artwork. menu? time. I was as reasonable as possible." Said Lipkin: "It was dreadful.

But I forgive him. There's enough hate in the world. We've got to live and let live." He added that Gomes was simply suffering from a modern ailment of preferring abstract art to the real thing. "I feel sorry for him," Lipkin said. "I still think I might give him a piece something actually good."

Morrison said Mrs. Grad told him she had been a member of the Southern Conference on Human Welfare (SCHW), listed by a congressional committee publication as a Communist-front organization, some 10 or 12 years ago. She dropped her membership when she heard it was a super-1 i al organization, Morrison said. Morrison, a candidate for governor in Saturday's Democratic primary runoff, was a principal witness at yesterday's opening session of the defamation trial of White's Chapel Church.

"I made my dentist a lovely rooster in wood, and he made me a beautiful bridge in porcelain. Another time I carved a squirrel in stone for my veterinary, who altered one of my Siamese cats. A fair exchange." Gomes, founding president of the Mahopac, N.Y., art league, and a friend of artists, said, "I tried to deal very gently with him." Gomes went to the artists' studio, looked over the graven statuary. "He had nothing that Interested me, or that would be practical," he said. "He's a very good sculptor, for what he does.

But he does these massive things, that are fit only for a building lobby, a museum, or outdoors. It's not fashionable. I like modern art." Judgement At last, Gomes turned the matter over to a lawyer, who got a court judgment for $153.33, with a marshal assigned to collect or force auctioning of Lipkin's works to pay the debt. Lipkin rushed to the legal aid society, and after a parley between the lawyers, he agreed to pay the debt at the rate of $5 a week. "I really hadn't intended for my lawyer to go that far," Gomes books will be furnished.
