North Carolinians voted today in Democratic primaries, in which the segregation issue, pointed up by the Supreme Court's decision banning separation of white and Negro pupils in public schools, played a vital role in the final week of the senatorial race.

Actually, Sen. Alton A. Lennon and former Gov- W. Kerr Scott, probably the strongest of his six opponents, stood shoulder to shoulder in calling for the maintenence of segrated public schools. However, in the final hours of campaigning thousands of leaflets, reprints of a newspaper advertisement which warmly praised Scott as a friend of the Negro, flooded the state's eastern rural areas.

The unsigned leaflets, admittedly distributed by Lennon forces, followed by a few hours the appearance of the ad. Mayor Marshall Kurfees of Winston-Salem, the state's second largest city, admitted placing the ad which drew charges of "falsehood" from the Scott camp. Kurfees was an active Lennon supporter. Kurfees said he had persuaded a Negro leader to sign the ad. Scott's lieutenants called for investigations by federal and state officials for possible violations of statutes against distributing unsigned campaign literature.
