NEELY MARTIN Of The Review Staff The two Democratic candidates for state representative in the 28th district are both assured of nomination, but the one who receives the larger vote at the April 13 primary will gain an advantage.

They are Rep. Paul H. Ferguson of Decatur and Felix Wilson of Clinton, a former representative. THE ADVANTAGE to the one receiving the larger vote is that in the general election next Novem-1 ber, his name will appear first for the office on the Democratic ticket. The cumulative system of voting for state representative confuses many voters and the candidate having first position, according to some estimates, will have an advantage of 500 or more votes in the three counties of the district, Macon, Dewitt and Logan.

Consequently, friends of each candidate may be expected to do some "plumping" of their votes in the primary. Under the cumulative voting system, each voter has three votes to cast for nominations for state representative. It he votes for both Ferguson and Wilson, they will be given one and one-half votes each. Through marking only one of the two, the favored candidate gets three votes, while his running mate receives none. T.

N. WRIGHT, organization director of the Macon county Farm bureau, is urging members to study the voting records of candidates for the Legislature before casting their ballots in the primary. Both Rep. Ferguson and former Rep. Wilson on the Democratic ballot have voting records in past sessions.

Of the seven candidates seeking the two Republican nominations for representative, only two have previous legislative records. They are John Clark of Decatur and William Querfeld of Dewitt county. The only candidate for state senator on either primary ballot who has a previous voting record subject to study, is Nicholas L. Hubbard of Mount Pulaski. Mr.

Hubbard gained legislative ience as a Democrat, serving both as a state representative and state senator. In 1944, he switched to the Republican party and was defeated in an effort to win the nomination of that party for return to the senate. IN THE APRIL primary, bard is making another bid for the Republican nomination in a three man contest which includes Elbert S. Smith, Decatur lawyer, who has the support of the regular Republican organization in Macon county, and William A. Arnold, also of Decatur.

Mr. Arnold is a Wabash: employe and a former army colonel. Since all of the major contests are in the Republican party, the pirmary vote by Republicans is expected to be much larger than the Democratic total. Despite the lack of contests of major interest, Fred M. Whitten, Macon county Democratic chairman, said he expects a substantial primary vote.

There are Democratic contests for state central committeeman and for few precinct committee selections. Committee selections are especially interesting to active party workers in the precincts. Party members who look forward to getting appointments to state or local public jobs, in event of party success in November, or believe they might seek jobs for friends. make their committee selections with a view of securing A committeeman who is best able to exercise an influence in the county organization and demand consideration for party members living in his precinct. Hutchens Asks Denial Of John Fedora Writ A motion to strike a petition of John Fedora for a writ of corpus will be filed in circuit court, State's Attorney Ivan J.

Hutchens said. Fedora who has been in the state penitentiary since 1931 under a life sentence for the murder of Abel Price, bus driver, contends he was convicted illegally because three women served the jury. The statute under which the women served was later held unconstitutional. A later law again authorized women jurors. Long Quarantine Is Law Four-Day Infection Period Precedes Pox It is a state law that requires, quarantine of Decatur youngsters suffering with chicken pox until all scabs disappear, Dr.

P. A. Steele. health commissioner, said today. Many Decatur parents have expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling since in most cases youngsters must be kept at home for at least two weeks and in the case of one stubborn scab, than that.

Most of the family. doctors have said that period for contagion is from about four days before to five days after the breaking out occurs. Usually a youngster has developed the pox marks before parents know that he has the disease, giving him a four-day period before breaking out for infecting those with whom he comes in contact.

Unions to Meet In Advance of Contract Parley Representatives of seven Decatur building trade unions will meet tomorrow at 10:30 a. m. to discuss contract terms to be presented to the Decatur Contractor's association. Following the 'meeting, representatives of the union and contractors will meet in the afternoon to attempt to arrive at an agreement that will halt a possible strike in the building trades. Contracts between the unions and the contractors association expire Thursday with a possibility a strike could be called then or within a few days later depending upon strike notices based on strike votes that, have been taken in some of the union groups.

SPOKESMEN from both sides declared today they did not want to tie up building here because of arguments over wage levels. L. N. Fisher, speaking for the contractors, said today that an ofcrafts to be "a fair offer and scaled, wage boost for all that good-thinking working men would certainly realize it would be better to work than 5 be off the jobs because of a 'strike." The contractors, offered a scaled wage boost with a proposal that the crafts would continue working on the jobs and carry on negotia. tions at the same time.

Final agreements 6t the negotiations would be retroactive to April 1. Harry Meisenhelter. business agent for, the building trades and common laborers, said he didn't want to see a strike called "as all strikes cause trouble and no one benefits by them." IN SPEAKING on the demands made by the unions, (unions are seeking a 25-cent blanket wage increase). Mr. Meisenhelter explained he told the contractors last year that he believed the crafts had reached a peak in wage levels here.

He also said the contractors group stated at that time it there were additional demands sought this year the trade groups should join together and make a blanket wage boost demand. The business agent for the groups said he was going to "lay the cards on the table before the unions tomorrow" and see if some solution could be worked out. He pointed out that the common laborers had the lowest scale in the trade groups. SHAW FUNERAL. Funeral services for Julius Shaw.

Lincoln School Crossing Study Asked at Once The city council will be urged to work out the Lincoln school traffic safety problem ahead of the over -all city school safety program.

Lester Grant, assistant school perintendent and safety committee representative for the city-wide Parent-Teacher. association council, said today he had sent a letter to the council asking that study of the Lincoln school not be delayed until the over-all program (being sought by the P-T. A. council) is developed. Spokesmen for the Lincoln school P.T.

A. sai dthat they had asked Mr. Grant to send the letter to the city officials. THE CITY COUNCIL last week indicated it intended including the Lincoln problem--traffic controls on North Main street -in the overall study. Originally the city planned to put traffic lights at North Main and King streets, mainly as relief for a motorist traffic problem.

The Lincoln group, whose school is west of North Main, asked the council to place the light a block farther north at Marietta street, where more than 100 children must cross Main street to reach the school and return home each day. Subsequently suggestions were made for use of other types of controls at Marietta, leaving the King street lights as planned. Given top consideration was a state highway suggestion that a "flasher" light be used at Marietta. LAST WEEK the Lincoln group notified the city council that it opposed the flasher plan and asked for a re-survey of traffic in the area and for a reduced speed limit. The group also filed with the officials a recital of the entire case as the group sees it.

The council voted to file the Lincoln report and to consider the sub. ject in the over -all study.

Central Illinois Waves Plan Rally for Friday In the April issue of the "Good Housekeeping" magazine, the column "Keeping Up With Medicine" states that infection from the scabs in chicken pox is impossible and that the quarantine need be no longer than one week. In most cases of chicken pox, the youngsters appear only slightly ill -perhaps with a slight cold or tired feeling--before the blisters form. Therefore, it is impossible for the parent to report the disease to the health department until after the blisters appear.

In the average case of chicken pox the scabs disappear in two weeks from the time the blisters appear, but in many cases quarantine, apparently useless accordto physicians, goes on even longer than that. Former Waves of Central Illincis will attend a Waves' rally to be held at p. m. Friday in the Colonial restaurant according to Lieutenant (J.
