Kerr told reporters the major Issues next year will be farm policy, "higher interest rates and the higher cost of living" and ''increasing lack of confidence in Republican leaders. "Money in the the absence of not be disregarded by the rank and file of voters next year." he said.

While discounting the political Importance of the espionage issue, both Russell and Humphrey favored continuing investigation. "My feeling is that we should bring the issue to a head now, Humphrey said. "Let's name names and clean up the issue once and for all now. We have a big legislative program ahead next year and it ought not to be delayed or sidetracked.

Girl Reconciled To Living Under Threat Of Being Murdered LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25 Dolly Ann McCormick, a pretty, young girl who lives under the constant threat of being stalked by a "crackpot" killer, said calmly Wednesday: "If they don't find him soon, just have to forget about it, that's all.

I can't go through life looking over my shoulder, wondering if that face will find me again." Miss McCormick, who recently came here from Prairie Grove, Is the only witness to a mysterious "want-ad" murder. She was sitting near insurance man Andrew Kmlec when he was shot In nearby Whlttler Saturday by a bespectacled gunman who answered the Beverly Hills bachelor's ad to sell his car. Detectives investigating the slaying said they were "convinced we have a crackpot murderer to deal with." "That's the hardest kind of crime to solve because of the lack of motives," said Gordon Bowers of the sheriff's office. For two days the possibility the killer may return to silence her has darkened Miss McCormick's face. Hall, who Is awaiting death In the gas chamber with Mrs.

Heady, also wrote a letter to Greenlease seeking forgiveness. In her letter Mrs. Heady said she went along with the kidnap scheme because she wanted Hall to have the money he wanted. She said she would have been "very, very happy" living with Hall in her home at St. Joseph, "but he had been used to more money.

I wanted so much for him to be happy." She said her mind was clouded by whiskey when she agreed to join Hall in the $600,000 ransom "I think anyone will find that If he drinks from one to two fifths of whiskey a day for a year and a half that your brain doesn't function properly," she said. "Since I have been In jail Is the first time I've been able to reason very clearly for some time." List of Government GALVESTON, Nov. 25 The JJ. S. Department of Agriculture Said Wednesday that It would not resume business with Elevator Galveston wharves, until hearings on the Canadian grain case are completed.

In a telegram in response to a query by a Galveston newsman, the department listed three contingencies for the Commodity Credit Corporation's resumption of business with Elevator B. They were 1. Conclusion of Senate hearings on the Canadian grain case. 2. The Department of Justice decision on what action will be taken on evidence submitted to It by the Senate.

3. Management policies Ele vator are revised and super vision Is tightened. The statement of contlngencle was signed by Preston Richard of the Department of Agriculture. Resumption of business previously hinged upon settlement of the Valley grain case, is now before the courts. In that case, the government is seeking $300,000.

Texas GOPWil Meet Dec. 7 on Primary Plans DALLAS, Nov. 25 iican State Chairman Alvin Lane announced Wednesday state GOP leaders will meet in Austin Dec. 1 to make plans for a Republican primary. Only twice before have Republican primaries been held In Texas.

But under the law, the party must hold a primary election next year because Oov. Allan Shivers got more than 200,000 votes on the GOP ticket last year. Shivers, a Democrat, was cross- filed on the Republican ticket. A legal subcommittee headed by Carlos Watson of Brownsville will report to. the meeting in Austin.

One question to be solved is whether Republicans can run candidates in ttielr primary who are also candidates in the Democratic primary. Republicans in the last election ran candidates only for president and vice president and some local offices. They indicated they would not offer candidates in future elections, at least for a time, unless they feel their candidate would have a particularly good chance of winning or the Democratic candidate was particularly objectionable to them. Many Republican leaders do not want a GOP primary. They feel many supporters of their cause would abandon the Democratic primary and vote in the GOP primary.

This, they fear, would give so- called "liberal" Democrats the upper hand In that party, yet without giving the Republican party sufficient strength to defeat the candidate of the "liberal" Democrats in the general election.
