Daley said today the results of the Illinois primary indicate a Democratic sweep in the November election.

"It is obvious and indicative from the incisive vote that the people are inclined to vote Democratic," Daley said. "With a great Democratic candidate for President, I am confident we will elect a Democratic president as well as a slate of county and state candidates. "The Democratic ticket is one of the finest ever presented to the electorate from U. S. Sen.

Paul H. Douglas down to the last 'Municipal Court judge." DOUGLAS, an unopposed primary candidate, led both Democratic and Republican tickets with 832,353 votes. This was more than the combined total of six opposing JAMES A. ROXAN, chairman of the state Democratic central committee, joined Daley in claiming the election figures showed a new political trend in Illinois. "I would think the total Democratic primary vote, particularly the big increase downstate, would indicate we have a good opportunity to take the governorship in November," Ronan said.

"The fact that Otto Kerner's vote is almost that of the total Republican vote cast shows we have a good chance," he added. Kerner, former Cook County (Chicago) judge, polled 723,317 votes to smother his opposition for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Vice President Richard M. Nixon proved himself the most popular Republican with just over 710,000 votes but he had to settle for second place behind Douglas and Kerner. Illinois It Happened in TIIM 1 in it TrrrT ii 7 PI 111 mm ii candidates seeking the GOP senatorial nomination.

Chicago lawyer Samuel Witwer, the choice of Gov. Stratton, took a narrow victory over former state Treasurer Warren Wright for the right to oppose Douglas. It wasn't until mid-afternoon Wednesday that Witwer sewed up the victory over Wright, one of the canniest political operators in Illinois. Nearly complete returns showed Witwer with 244,446 votes to 222,666 for Wright. GOV.

WILLIAM G. Stratton garnered 489,416 votes to win nomination for an unprecedented third term. His only rival, State Sen. Heyes Robertson (R-Flossmoor), polled 340,069. That means, with a few hundred precincts still unreported, that Stratton was polling about 59 per cent of the total vote cast for him and Robertson.

There are now two Lansing men on the board and five Calumet City members. Eggert was inducted for a second three-year term Wednesday night. Melvin Hildebrandt, of Calumet City's Gold Coast section, was installed for his first term. Eggert and Hildebrandt were the two winners in last Saturday's six-man race in the district election.

Ice was reported in the river near Montreal and at Mas3esa and in other areas. Some of it was being flushed through the Eisenhower and Snell locks. CASTLE said it would depend on the weather when the seaway is officially opened for traffic. He indicated it may be Monday be fore ships can pass through.

In Montreal, shipa were waiting for the opening of the seaway. The harbor master's office said at least 25 vessels would be on hand for the opening of the St Lambert locks.

Meanwhile, the Coast Guard hoped to clear a path all the way into Buffalo harbor today for two ships bucking heavy ice formations a few miles out in Lake Erie. WITH luck, the freighter James Watt and the car-carrier T.

J. McCarthy of the McCarthy Steam-Ship Qa, will open the port to navigation before the day Is over. The cutter Tupelo, currently operating out of Erie, Pa, joined the McCarthy Wednesday and was helping to cut a channel for the vessel, which has 499 new cars aboard. The James Watt has been stuck for three days in the Ice field off the north harbor entrance. The cutter Ojibwa was successful in trying to reach the freighter Wednesday.

None of his other belongings were. taken from the motel room. Much Ado About Lots Of Blubber. CHICAGO (UPI)-A study of fat men and fat women showed a striking dissimilarity in the way" in which they combat certain emo--tional problems, a University ol Pennsylvania doctor said Wednes- day. Dr.

AMONG THE she aaid. the fat men walked nearly four miles during a day while normal weight men walked six "Decreased activity seems to be a striking characteristic of man? obese women in this study," Dr. Chirico said.

Address Lack Hampers Mail Deliveries Although directory service for ordinary mail was discontinued by the Post Office Department 10 years ago, letters continue to be received with the notation "Please Give Directory Service" or with illegible or incomplete addresses, Hammond Postmaster Donald Clark said today. Clark said first class letter mail which cannot be delivered because of insufficient address or which fails for other reasons to reach its intended destination is carefully scrutinized at the address office by experienced distributors before it is returned.

This does not however, that city and telephone directories are searched in an effort to effect delivery, he added. PRIOR TO THE abolition of directory service, mailers were often not aware that they were addressing their mail improperly, as the post office was. in most cases, able to locate the addressee through the use of directories, Clark explained. As a result he added, patrons continued to address mail improperly and the post office continued to give expensive supplemental assistance. Now, however, mail addressed to carrier delivery offices which does not bear a complete street address or post office box number is usually marked Insufficient Ad dress" and returned, he com mented.

"The only exceptions," Clark said, "are those instances where the addressee is so well known that directory service is unnecessary." PRESENT regulations restrict directory service to perishable matter, parcels of obvious value, special services mail, mail from armed forces overseas and International mail, the postmaster said. "If guess work is used in addressing mail intended for carrier delivery, it stands very little chance of accomplishing its mission," cautioned Clark. "On the other hand, mail showing the full name of the addressee, the correct street address or box number and, of course, the city and state, has most of the basic equipment for reaching its goal." Hit-Run Driver Gets 10 Days in Jail Dcmecio M. Esquivel 20, of 2417 Cline Gary, was sentenced Wednesday In Hammond City Court to 10 days in jail for hit and run driving.

Unre Better Control of Little Cal THORNTON Better organiza tion is needed In South Cook Coun ty for control of pollution in the Little Calumet River and Thorn Creek, according to George Baird, Hegewlsch, chairman of the Thorn Creek Calumet Watershed Com mittee, a sub-group of the Cook County Clean Streams Committee, Reporting on local conditions at the regular monthly meeting of the county committee Tuesday night in Thornton Village Hall, Baird said there are at least 30 instances of continuous pollution in the Little Calumet and Thorn Creek that need attention. He proposed a meeting May 2 in Riverdale Community Center, Harvey, for the local committee to reorganize and equip itself for battling the individual offenses. DURING ONE point in the discussion, Tunis DeYoung, South Holland, spoke from the audience to criticize the condition of the Little Calumet and Thorn Creek. DeYoung said he thought both streams were more polluted now than they have ever been. However, J.

Edward Mears, general superintendent of the Bloom Township Sanitary District, said his investigations show that both streams are 90 per cent improved over seven or eight years ago, before formation of the committee and before many area communities had constructed sewage treatment plants.

Hill was released from the hospital Sunday, only a week after an appendectomy. Walter Daisy, Calumet City, had nominated Finneran for secretary. FOLLOWING the election of both Eggert and George, Laczny said: "I would have preferred that the two offices were divided between Lansing and Calumet City, so both towns would share equally in board affairs."
