Navy Loses Second Aircraft Carrier Winner in Governor Has Lead of 40,077 Ballots Over Sen. Murray Gov. Julius P. Heil, Milwaukee industrialist, won the Republican nomination to a third term in Tuesday's primary election, nearly complete returns showed today. With 2,663 precincts counted, Ileil had a 40,077" lead over State Senator Milton T.

Robinson, Milwaukee dentist. Murray and Robinson devoted much of their campaign to an excoriation of Heil, charging him with absentee governorship and belittling the balance in the stale's general fund. It was claimed that failure to repay money diverted from the highway department made such a balance possible. Heil will have two opponents in the November election, Orland S. Loomis, Mauston, who polled votes from 2,641 precincts, as the unopposed candidate for nomination on the Progressive ticket, and either Dr.

William C. Sullivan, Kaukauna dentist, or Gustave J. Keller, Appleton attorney and a Democratic wheelhorse. Sullivan and Keller were running neck and neck with Sullivan having a slight edge. Four other Democratic aspirants had no hope of catching Sullivan and Keller.

Column 5) THAT STRANGE FIGURE skipping about the square at high noon this day, vigorously shaking hands with himself, jumping sideways every six skips and clicking his heels together lour feet off the ground, is not on his way to the dippy house, even though he grins alarmingly and he softly blows, "Whoopee!" That is only the personification of Dane county on this day after the day of the big wind, warmly congratulating himself as smartest county in the country, and mildly celebrating, as befits the times, the at-long-last good riddance of the insufferable known as Wayne Fisher. Bid him be gay and join the happy throng he represents, for this is the day after the big day on which Dane county has swept this Fisher off its public, payroll, sent him kiting from the courthouse halls, and angrily chastised him for his brazen impertinence.

He tried once too often to sneak into public office vn the sound of another's name. He tried it at the time in which the people of Dane county finally became wise to this blustering swaggerer and he was beaten, almost two to one. IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT Dane county will waste much time or breath on any phoney sportsmanship with this Fisher. He is gone and his going is good. There is only thought to keep of Wayne Fisher: Remember him only to make certain he never gets so much as a single finger's hold on another corner of the public payroll.

THERE IS OTHER PLEAS-ant reading in today's primary tabulations beside that detailing the thumping administered the above-mentioned by Capt. Jack Arnold. There are, for instance, the bright totals of the Republican columns. Beneath these there is more than a faint stirring, more than a slight indication that Dane county may not forever resign itself to wearing, like a moth-eaten and outdated bearskin, the ancient tradition that it was and is forever Progressive, in the worst sense of the word with a capital But let no one become unduly excited. Without question, this rousing Republican total is the byproduct if not the end result of a wrathful determination to vote not so much for someone as against Julius P.

Heil. Look at the figures of Tuesday as against those of the 1940 primary. This year, Dane county gave Julius Heil only about half the vote it devoted to him two years ago. It gave his nearest opponent, Milton T. Murray, more X's that it gave Julius.

That is pleasant, as pleasant as those Republican totals which require the welcome commas this year, matter to what or to whom may go credit or blame. SOME POSSIBLY MALICI-ous but nonetheless comforting fun is to be had, too, in finding such slightly whimsical things as the one Socialist who stubbornly stamped alone down the whole Socialist column while his Maple Bluff neighbors were, as always, voting exclusively and tremendously Republican. You may pause and wonder who this loner may be. Can he be some sour soul who clings strangely to the outskirts of these lovely estates and wooded hills, enjoying, as is the wont of those with the flame in the eye, the painful but proud butting of the head against a smug and satisfied majority? Is he missionary or does he sneer? Perhaps he is just another rich man, gone fat and bored with his high estate, seeking a surreptitious thrill in furtively slashing his class behind it3 back. His conscience may bother him, and while his arteries harden and his blood pressure climbs, he may try in the only small way he knows, to make retribution for some of the parts of his past.

In all charity, he may have seen the light, honestly and honorably. He might be fat and he might be rich and he might Believe, besides. Could be, could be. Draff of Labor 'Inevitable' Step, McNuff Reports Law Would Allow U. S.

to Exact Home-Front Service WASHINGTON (U.R) Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the War Manpower Commission told a house committee today that he regards as inevitable the adoption of national service legislation that would authorize the government to exact home-front war service from persons not in- the armed forces. McNutt testified before the house committee investigating the problems of migratory labor and the nation's manpower supply. He expressed the opinion that the mere existence of power to force an individual to serve where he can be of the greatest service in the war effort is all that will be necessary. He said that had been Britain's experience, and he noted that Canada and Australia also had service laws such as he proposed.

He said that while the WMC had been studying the necessity for such legislation, it had "no specific bill" in mind. The details, he added, are being worked on by representatives of management, labor, and the government. "We have been trying thus far to do our job by voluntary agreements," McNutt said. "There's good reason to doubt, however, whether such measures will long be adequate." Labor shortages are becoming more acute, he said. Other problems, such as a disposition by some employes to stay away from their jobs when they feel like it, also are increasing.

Mullen Wins Assembly Race Beats Lein by 42 in Second District A nip and tuck fight between two Progressives trying to catch up with a heavy Republican vote in the nomination for the second Dane county assembly district highlighted the lower house election in Tuesday's primary. Throughout the tabulations, Earl Mullen, town of Blooming Grove, and Lars O. Lein, town of Albion, -present assemblyman, were "back and forth" in the voting for the Progressive nomination. Mullen won, 745 to 703. In Madison, the first district, Assemblyman Lyall T.

Arnold, head of the Madison police department detective bureau, headlined Tuesday's primary election in Dane county by capturing the Progressive nomination for sheriff.

But Republicans also highlighted the election, and despite a light vote, showed up stronger than ever in a long Progressive-dominated county. Arnold's quietly conducted campaign won him a victory over Lawrence Larson, a former sheriff, and landed Coroner Wayne Fisher, another Progressive candidate for sheriff in third place. Despite the fact that the law requires an election report to the county clerk after completion of the voting, clerks in the town of Burke, and the village of Belleville did hot report until this morning. The delay was especially inexcusable, county officials said, because of the general light vote. Also, the 10th ward report on Progressive state candidates was delayed.

Republicans Back Murray Republicans in the county repudiated Gov. Heil, instead supporting Sen. Milton T. Murray, (R Milwaukee), by a wide margin. Continually, the returns showed Republican strength, with longtime Progressive officeholders polled less than their usual votes.

Arnold, who campaigned modestly on his record as police official, definitely shoved out of public office Fisher, who particularly had met the opposition of The Wisconsin State Journal. Arnold's campaign also cut short the attempt of Larson, who went out when civil service came into the sheriff's office, to regain public office. Arnold has had 23 years' experience on the Madison police force, and previously served as deputy. He was born In Dane county. Fisher has been coroner for two terms.

Before that he had been chairman of the town of Blooming Grove for two terms. Before that, he was employed by the Civil Works Administration, one of the first of the federal government's alphabetical work agencies. Arnold slightly trailed Larson in Dane county until the returns from Madison came in, and then he was ahead in all but one ward. Republicans Show Strength Republicans repeatedly outscor-ed Progressives in winning nominations. Lester C.

Lee, Madison attorney, polled more votes than did Dist. Atty. Norris E. Maloney. Frank M.

Clark, Madison, out-scored County Clerk, Austin N. Johnson. Myrtle Meyers, Madison, was ahead of Clerk of Court Myrtle L. Hansen. Jacob Lingard, (Continued on Page 2, Column 4) Havks Nominated for House by GOP; E.J.SampTrails Former Rep.

Charles Hawks, Horicon, won the Republican nomination for congressman from the second district in a four-man race which drew a comparatively heavy vote. The 43-year-old insurance salesman who represented this district in the 76th congress was closely pushed by Edward J. Samp, 53, Heil Loses Dane County to Murray Dane county gave its vote Tuesday to Sen. Milton T. Murray as the Republican candidate for governor, giving Murray 4,803 votes, Gov.

Julius P. Heil 3,339, and Dr. James K. Robinson 1,517. Orland S.

Loomis, unopposed in the Progressive primary, polled 7,961 votes in Dane county. Heil failed to carry a single precinct in the capital city, wher his failure to occupy the executive mansion or to spend more than one in every four working days in the state house had caused widespread criticism. Ample evidence that Progressives, with no contest of their own for governor, jumped over into the Republican primary in an effort to unseat Heil by voting for Murray was found in the figures here and elsewhere. Normally high Progressive votes In various Madison wards shrank to new-lows while Republican figures in creased by unusual proportions with the balance in Murray's favor. The governor's farm strength which pulled him through his 1940 general election contest with Loomis still showed in returns from rural precincts in Dane county, many of which he carried over Murray.

Secretary of State Fred R. Zimmerman was the greatest vote getter in Dane county, his 8,769 total topping all others. Frederick W. Leissring, Waukesha, 2,649. Rep.

Harry Sauthoff, 63, Progressive incumbent, polled 9,539 votes, about half the number he received two years ago. Sauthoff was unopposed in both primaries. Brooks Defeats Larson Thomas R. Brooks, Watertown, Democratic nominee in 1940, again appeared to have clinched the same position in a contest with Henry C. Larson, Madison, former secretary of the Wisconsin Butter Makers assn.

Fred A. Hale, Madison, Socil-ist candidate for congress in this district, was unopposed. Madison's two candidates, Samp and May, polled a greater combined vote than the other two Republican candidates residing outside the capital. Hawk's almost 3 to 1 advantage over Samp in the former's home county, Dodge, gave, him his margin of victory. May trailed Samp closely in Dane county.

The total Republican vote far surpassed that of the 1938 primary election when Hawks won the nomination unopposed, and approached the heavier tally of 1940, a presidential election year when Hawks had opposition within his own party.

Its fate in many respects was similar to that which befell the carrier Lexington in the battle of the Coral sea. The Yorktown was put out of action by enemy bombers and torpedo planes on the afternoon of June 4.

Harper, He suggested that girls up to 18 years old be required to conform to it, and predicted that under present lack of restraint there would be an increase in illegitimacy in Wisconsin. Most of the fathers will be men in uniform, he said.

Easy access to liquor for young people also has contributed to war time moral lapses, Dr. Harper intimated. He proposed to take up the matter with women's organizations.

Y. (U.R) Edward Haight, lT-year-old scion of "the Tobacco Road Haights," mumbled a wish to "get it over with" today when he was arraigned for the kidnap-murder of two little girls. He waived examination. Wearing overalls, Haight was arraigned before Justice of the Peace J. Clifford McChristie on charges of kidnaping Helen Lynch, 8, and the kidnap-murder of her sister, Margaret, 7.

Haight said he did not want a lawyer. The formalities over, he was led away to police court at Armonk village to be arraigned there on the charge murdering Helen.

(The German official news agency claimed that the Germans had reached the Volga river in the center of Stalingrad and that violent street and house fighting raged.) (An andanve to the Volga river in the center of Stalingrad would mean the Nazis had split the city into halves, north and south, linked only by precarious communications over the east bank of the Volga.

Persons who gave qualified answers indicated that they favored farm price control without wage control, or vice versa. In the case of farmers, however, all persons giving qualified answers said they favored wage control, but not farm price control. Earlier surveys have shown that a majority of voters throughout the country were ready- to accept a wage-price control law as long ago as the first of this year. Sea Fight Due in Solomons Marines Beat Back Jap Landing Forces PEARL HARBOR (U.R) A ma jor engagement, involving a large Japanese fleet, was believed impending today as the enemy fought violently to recapture the strategic Solomon islands. A navy communique issued in Washington said American marines had been beating back Japanese efforts to land troops on Guadalcanal island since Saturday night while taking a heavy bombardment from the air and surface craft.

Even while the Japanese were starting their assault to regain the positions the marines had wrested from them, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander in chief of the Pacific fleet, asserted that the United States was "tightening its grip on the Solomons and planning to drive on without hesitation." (Creation of a new naval air post "commander air force, Pacific fleet" was taken in Washington as indication that a sustained naval and air offensive would be staged in the Pacific during the coming months. Vice-Admiral John H. Towers, an exponent of attack, will be the new air commander.) Big Fleets Involved Reports from the southwest Pa cific area have indicated that the Japanese might be massing their largest available fleet for a southward sweep intended to drive the Americans from the Solomons. The United States sent a big naval force when it started its attack against the Solomons in August and it was believed likely that if a naval engagement had (Continued on Page 3 Col.

1) U. S. Public Farm Price By GEORGE GALLUP (Director, American Institute of Public Opinion) PRINCETON, N. J. The American public's first reaction to the farm price control legislation requested by the president is one of overwhelming approval.

Shortly after the president's Labor day broadcast in which he warned congress to act before Oct. 1 or he would act himself, the Institute began a survey of public sentiment on inflation control, collecting returns with the aid of the telegraph. Five cities spotted across the nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific were polled in this fashion, as well as farmers in representative rural areas throughout the Middle West. 3-to-l in Favor In the cities a majority of 3 to 1 or better was found in favor of stabilizing not only farm prices, as the president asked, but all wages and salaries as well. In the farm areas, the poll found substantially the same reaction.

Legislation for over-all stabilizing of prices and wages has just been introduced in the senate by Sen. Brown of Michigan. i The issue gut to the wtn 1 Madison, former Republican state chairman. Nearly complete returns gave Hawks 10.232 votes; Samp, Arthur L.

McCormick to submit a report on enforcement of the parking meter ordinance in the city hall vicinity. The request came after State Journal surveys showed that city officials and employes were parking before red flagged meters. The cars were not tagged by police even after an opinion by City Atty. Harold E. Hanson that city-owned cars and private cars used on city business could not be parked legally in front of meters without then-operators depositing coins.

The chief was asked to submit the report at the next meeting of the commission. The commission heard reports from: ONE. McCormick that during August his department had 238 criminal arrests, 263 traffic arrests, and 535 arrests for parking violations. Total receipts in city cases were $4,255.
