Nominations for Nine

Besides Georgia (see col. 1), eight other States held Congressional primaries last week. One other (Connecticut) chose its November candidates at State conventions.

In Arizona, Senator Carl Hayden and Representative John R. Murdock (New Dealers) were renominated, Republicans Burt H. Clingan and M. E. Cassidy picked to oppose them.

In Colorado, Senator Alva B. Adams (80% New Dealer lightly marked for Purging) was nominated without opposition. His opponent in November: Republican Archibald A. Lee of Denver. Renominated for Governor was crude Democrat Teller Ammons, to face Republican Ralph L. Carr.

In Connecticut, unPurged Senator Augustine Lonergan was renominated with Governor Wilbur L. ("Uncle Toby") Cross by convening Democrats. Republicans named John A. Danaher for Senator, Raymond E. Baldwin for Governor, and to give their ticket some of Mr. Cross's scholarly background (he was for 14 years dean of Yale's Graduate School), chose President James L. McConaughy of Wesleyan University for lieutenant-governor.

In Louisiana, New Deal Senator John H. Overton was renominated and all seven representatives except one, who faced a runoff.

In Michigan, Republicans, in numbers far greater (3 to 2) than the Democratic primary voters, chose Frank D. Fitzgerald to run in November against Governor Frank Murphy, who ousted Mr. Fitzgerald in 1936. No Senator was involved: all incumbent Representatives (eight Democrats, nine Republicans) were renominated except Democrat George Sadowski who lost to Mayor Rudolph Tenerowicz of Hamtramck.

In New Hampshire, Republican Arthur B. Jenks won nomination to contest once more against Democrat Alphonse Roy, whom the House seated in Mr. Jenks's stead last June after the latter had served all but six days of the 75th Congress (TIME, June 20). To contest against New Deal Senator Fred H. Brown, Republicans nominated Representative Charles W. Tobey, Townsend Planner.

In Utah, President Franklin S. Harris of Brigham Young University won the Republican designation to tackle Senator Elbert D. Thomas, unopposed New Dealer.

In Vermont, Democrats Fred C. Martin and John McGrath were named to race in November against (respectively) Governor George D. Aiken and Senator Ernest W. Gibson.

In Washington, New Deal Senator Homer T. Bone, despite some ballot-crossing by "Pro-American" Republicans, easily beat Otto A. Case, a Townsend Planner. Republican Ewing D. Colvin, Seattle attorney, was selected to try to crunch Mr. Bone.
