2 Primaries In State Set Tuesday RICHMOND A Five Democrats in the 7th District and three in the 10th go to the post in primary elections Tuesday for party nominations for seats in Congress. The crowded field--by Virginia standards in the 7th is comprised largely of candidates who reflect the conservative politics and voting habits of the Shenandoah Valley district. The 7th is the home district of both of Vu ginia's United States senators- Harry F. Byrd of Berryville and A. Willis Robertson of Lexington.

Winner of the primary in the 7i'i will go into another election race in November against a Re publican to succeed Rep. Burr P. Harrison, the Winchester Democrat, who heeded his doctor's advice against running for reelection. 7u the less conservative northern Virginia 10th district, the winner among the three Democratic candidates will face the task of! trying to unseat Rep. Joel P.

Broyhill, one of the state's two Republican congressmen who have remained firmly in the sad- file since they rode to victory in tho big Eisenhower sweep of 1952. The five contesting for the chance to succeed Harrison in ihe 7th are William C. Gibbons, 35, of Harrisonburg. who won a doctorate in government, economics and international relations at Princeton and has had seven of experience working for congressional committees: Victor E. Click, 44, a history and government professor of 12 years experience at Bridgewater College; F.

L. "Jim" Largent, 45. of Winr Chester, a lawyer and former FBI agent; John O. Marsh 35, a lawyer and Strasburg police judge, and Claude B. Smalts 4(i, a florist who has 14 years of governmental experience as councilman and mayor of Winchester.

No single one of the candidates has had the public blessing of the Pyrd organization. Either Marsh or- Largent were represented as being acceptable and both have a number of prominent organiza- figures in their i i a c-mps. Gibbons has some of the rd Democratic forces on his 'e but generally district politic cs feel his appeal is to the younger and more liberal elements of the party. There is a feeling thai Gibbons will attract much of the 1960 Kennedy vote in the district. If this proves to be the case while Marsh, Largent and the others snlit the more conservative vote.

Gibbons could emerge on top. However, some of the districts political leaders see the race as mainly a contest between Marsh and Largent. In the 10th embracing Arlington and Fairfax and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church, Democrats have found the nomination for congress only a party honor since Republican Broyhill won the newly created seat in 1952. The Democratic primary field Includes Augustus C. Johnson, 47, a research scientist and former chairman of the Fairfax County Democratic Co i 11 who claims support from much of the district party leadership; Charles W.

Lowry, 57, lecturer and author and a former Episcopal rector who styles himself a "Jeffersonian and Edwin Lynch 48. a business man and former member of the Virginia legislature, long identified with the liberal wing of the party, who now says the liberal group has control to a degree where it is inclined to push aside divergent views.
