Pepper Loses Senate Bid in Florida Primary
Sen. Claude Pepper, longtime Florida liberal champion of the Fair Deal, loses to Rep. George Smathers in a bare knuckle primary. Smathers, 36, a second term House member, portrays himself as a middle of the road liberal and trails Truman opposition on key issues. With 1,412 of 1,595 precincts reporting, Smathers leads Pepper by a solid margin.
