(AP) The Kennedys have finally lost an election in an Oregon Democratic presidential primary that rubbed the winning sheen off Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

Piston Cars To Face Superfast Turbines By WAYNE FUSON, Sports Editor The biggest crowd ever, upwards of 300,000 will watch the wildest and fastest 500-Mile Race in history tomorrow if normal Tony Hulman weather reigns. Thirty-three of the world's best racing drivers will compete in the world's largest one-day sporting event.

The winner will collect approximately $170,000 of a total purse which could exceed $750,000. It'll be strictly a race vote is small as it was in Oregon. In the Republican division of the primary, former Vice-President Richard M. Nixon swamped two threatening contenders. By taking more than 70 per cent of the vote he deflated the possibility that a combination of Govs.

Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York and Ronald Reagan of California could stop him at the Miami Beach party convention. Embarking on an intense campaign in nonprimary states, Nixon said he thinks leaders in those areas may decide that "now is the time to get on the train before it leaves the staion."

her court. Sun Reflects Upon Parade's Splendor The ultimate winner in Kennedy's Oregon setback could be Vice-President Hubert H. Humphrey. He got only around 5 per cent of the vote by write-in. But he was an indirect beneficiary of McCarthy's derailing of the bandwagon Kennedy hopes to ride triumphantly into the party's Chicago nominating convention.

McCarthy restored his status as a top contender for the nomination. However, he faces another apparently uphill battle with Kennedy next Tuesday in California, where the signs are not as favorable for the Minnesota senator. The irony of the situation, however, was that while Kennedy and McCarthy were struggling over Oregon's 35 convention votes, Humphrey won 53 of 63 Florida votes. A ticket headed by Sen. George a' Humphrey slate Dorter, swamped a pledged to McCarthy.

Humphrey thus continued to pile up a delegate total he had enriched previously in states where conventions name the slates while his opponents battle each other in the primaries. McCarthy mounted heaviest financing Kennedy's chief hope of overcoming this lead had been to sweep the primaries and thus storm into the convention as demonstrated winner. In Oregon the Kennedy name and touch failed to rouse the crowds to ecstatic heights as th)ey had in Indiana, Nebraska and in California campaigning. McCarthy combined his soft-sell approach with the best organization and the heaviest financing he has been able to' mount in any of the primaries. The results indicated that Kennedy would be handicapped in areas where the Negro and ethnic minority Town Disappears As Volcano Erupts ABMON, Indonesia (AP) A village on Nila Island in the Moluccas, disappeared under water, and four other settle ments were damaged by a volcano earlier this month, the Antara news agency reported yesterday.

HESS The rain disappeared, so did the frown on Festival President J. Fred Risk's face, and the parade was on in all its splendor. Just when it seemed that rain, a menace to festival and race activities so far this month, would melt crepe paper at last night's 12th annual "500" Festival parade, it stopped. between the old-type piston engine cars, of which there are-30, and the three superfast turbines.

The turbines, including those driven by pole-winner Joe Leonard, former 500 and world champion Graham Hill of London and Art Pollard, are overwhelming favorites to win the race. Leonard set new 1-lap (171.953 miles per hour) and 4-lap (171.559) qualifying records. Hill was the only other driver to break the 170 barrier. He qualified at 171.208. Barring a rash of accidents, defending champion A.J.

Foyt's 500-mile record of 151.207, established last year, unquestionably will be smashed. The record for the fastest lap in the race, 154.374 by Parnelli Jones in a turbine last year, is expected to too. Speed of the race in the early going could run as high as 169 as the turbines race away for a big lead. EVEN SOME DRIVERS GIVE IT TO TURBINES Most experts, including many of the drivers themselves, are conceding first place to a turbine providing one is able to go the distance. Jones was leading Foyt by some 50 seconds a year ao when he had to drop out 10 miles from the checkered flag because of a $6 transmission bearing failure.
