DETROIT, Aug. 1 fJP)--Franas Gobis, 32, who came here as a displaced person a rear ago, asked circuit court Monday for a divorce from his wife, Viktorija, 29. She is a Lithuanian.

Gobis told the court he has a strong feeling his wife doesn't love him. Here's why, he said: During the war he was a member of the Lithuanian underground. Each morning when he left for dutv his wife told hope the Russians or the. Germons catch you." In 1944 the attack on his city of Siauhaia grew so hot he had to leave. Mrs.

Gobis identified a body, battered in an air raid, as her husband and held a burial. Later, Gobis came across sur- piised friends who had attended his "funeral." Gobis now is employed at the Ford Motor Co. He said he has made repeated attempts to contact his wife behind the iron curtain. The result: Only grim silence The coin took his divoi ce request under advisement. FIRE IX MOXOWATT PLANT Primaries (Continued from Page 1) City crime disclosures did not enter the campaign.

Three Others In Race While Allison and Hennings are the main contenders, there are three others in the race--Mrs. Marjorie Bell Hinrichs, St. Louis cosmetics manufacturer; James W. Hopkins, University City accountant, and Ben M. Johnson, Springfield sign painter.

Republican Senator Forrest C. DonneJ, strong critic of the Truman administration, has three opponents for a second term nomin- ation, but none has statewide political support. Party leaders predicted certain victory for the incumbent. Donnell didn't even campaign. The state's lone Republican Representative, Dewey Short, and six of the 12 Democratic incumbents, Reps.

Magee, Welch, Carnahan, Jones, Cannon and Karsten, had no primary opposition. An apathetic campaign foreshadowed a light vote. Control of the party organizations was involved the Kansas voting. In the Republican primary, voters chose between Gov. Frank Carlson and Harry W.

Colmery, Topeka and Washington attorney and former national commander of the American Legion, for the Senate nomination. Senator Harry Darby, filling a vacancy by appointment, is not running. Mayberry vs. Arn The fight for control lay chiefly, however, in the governorship race between Willard Mayberry, rancher and weekly newspaper publisher, and Edward F. Arn, former state attorney general.

Alf M. Landon, former governor and 1936 presidential candidate, supported Mayberry, Landon's former private secretary. The Carlson-Darby forces backed Arn. The latter combination won over Landon two years ago for control of the Kansas delegation to the GOP national convention. Paul Aiken, former U.

S. assistant attorney general, and Carl Rice, national committeeman, were rivals for the Democratic Senate nomination. Aiken sought control of the party organization, claiming Rice kept the party weak to assure his retaining the leadership. Aiken implied he had President Truman's support. He campaigned on a pro-Truman platform.

Rice opposed Mr. Truman for Vice President in 1944 and again early in 1948. but pledged his support to the President in the current campaign. Four of the state's six Republican House incumbents had opponents on the ballot. CANADA MINISTER DIES OTTAWA, Aug.

1 Minister Humphrey Mitchell, in poor health for more than a year, died early today. He would have been 56 Sept. 9. A liberal member of parliament for Welland, Mitchell had been a cabinet minister since December, 1941. MRS.

Edward Price, rector, officiated. Buriel was in St. Mary's cemetery. The bearers were John L. Simmons, Maxwell B.
