Ballot-Box Case Set for July ft Hearing Scheduled Before Judge Lewis MARIANNA, Fla. (Special) -The morning of July 8 has been for a hearing by the court in the matter of the motion for dismissal in the case of Wankard Pooser, and W. B. Cause, complainants, vs Sheriff Ernest Barnes mnd State Representative Hugh Dukes, defendants. According to information today from John H.

Carter, attorney for Sheriff Barnes, the hearing will be conducted at Panama City by Circuit Judge E. Clay Lewis. The motion to dismiss was filed on June 17 by Mr. Carter and B. L.

mon, attorney for Mr. Dukes. The case concerns suits filed in the Circuit Court here on June 7 by Pooser, defeated by Dukes, incumbent by 100 votes in the May 27 primary, for state representative; and by B. Cause, defeated in the same primary by 24 votes by incumbent Sheriff Ernest Barnes. Other than Barnes and Dukes, the complainants named County Judge Robert L.

McCiary, Jodie Sketo chairman of county commissioners and Mrs. W. J. Mitchell, registration supervisor, as defendants. The suits charge alleged irregularities in voting and counting in seven precincts and in absentee ballots, and the court asked to have the ballot boxes impounded in the named precincts.

On June 12, Cause asked the court to order boxes from all 32 of Jackson County's precincts impounded, "where they can't be tampered with." Inside Democratic Parly (Starts on Page One) venson, between now and the convention, cannot be prevailed, upon to run. It may seem totally inconceivable that the coon-hatted Kefauver can be called "strongest" or even "strong," in that three different powerful groups oppose him so far--the Truman administration, the northern city machines, and the southern regulars--any one of which would normally be crushing enough to kill any candidate deader than the Duke of Wellington. But--Kefauver has impressive voting power, he is growing in popularity all the time, and he will probably come into Chicago with around 300 delegates--more than any other Democratic candidate. Why, then, if he is strongest, the machine regulars want to stop him? The answer derives from one of the most piquant and cross-grained oddities in American political life, namely that most professional politicans would rather lose with somebody they like than win with somebody they hate. In conclusion we should perhaps mention three enormous pools of voters, aside from Negroes, who will get particular attention from the Democratic candidate no matter who he is.

First, women. Second. Labor. Third, the farmers. There is no such thing as rigid women's vote in this country.

American women over 21 outnumber men by roughly 51 million to 49 million, but in 1948 many more men voted than women, roughly 27 million as against 22. Strike Halting Tank Production Truck Output Line Has Come to Step WASHINGTON UP! The Army announced today that the steel strike already has stopped delivery Of some equipment and that production of some other material. Including light tanks, will come to a halt within a few days. In a statement, the Army said: "Production of trucks at General Motors stopped on June truck production line June 23. "Production of jeeps by Willys Overland is scheduled to come to a stop today; Studebaker's truck production tomorrow, Cadillac's T-41 tank assembly on June 30, and Federal Motor Trucks heavy 10 ton truck on July 1, elong with Allison (General Motors) production of combat vehicle transmission assemblies.

"Reo Motors can continue production of aVi-ton trucks until July 10." In another report on military output, the Defense Production Administration (DPA), announced today that production of warplanes for the Air Force last month reached 100 per cent of schedules set by the Defense Department and mobilization agencies. Kefauver still has a long way to go to reach 616. The problem for the bosses will be (a) to keep him from getting there, which means (b) that they will have to unite on a powerful enough opponent. Kefauver, agree, is the man to beat. But you can't beat somebody with nobody.

Beat Kefauver with whom? The first, obvious answer would be Stevenson. If Stevenson will not accept a draft, some would like Sen. Paul Douglas. But this presents a pungent difficulty in that, first, Douglas himself says that he does not want to be president, and, second, he is one of the few prominent Democrats to have come out for--Kefauver! (Another, oddly enough, is Jimmy Roosevelt of California. who was for Eisenhower in 1948.) If Stevenson ana Douglas are unavailable, if Harriman doesn't turn out to be strong enough, if Bob Kerr and Dick Russell are clearly out of the question, if Barkley (who would love to be president if A higher proportion of women will, the prophets say, vote this year.

Among the Democratic candidates, Kefauver will probably be i the chief beneficiary of the women's vote, because of his crusade-however ineffectual it may have been--against crime and gambling. Labor is as hard to predict as the weather. There are about 15 million Americans in organized labor, but not all of them are voters by any means. In recent elections roughly two-thirds of the labor vote has gone Democratic; some Dem-j ocratic labor leaders would claim more. A great deal depends on who the Republican candidate is, as is only too obvious: labor (though it i has criticized Eisenhower on occasion) would certainly prefer him I to Taft.

Among the Democrats, labor i would probably turn thumbs down I brutally on Kerr and Russell, be on the fence in regard to Harriman and Kefauver, and actively, earnestly favor Stevenson or Barkley.

Truman? No. He is out, really out, and I am convinced that nothing in the world--not even the spectre of Bob Taft becoming president--will bring him in.

In any case it is the individual voter, you and me, who is sovereign in this country, and who will finally decide. Many voters hope above all that they will get a clear choice between two good candidates, one conservative, one liberal. Tomorrow: can Party.
