Early returns from Maine's bipartisan primary show Gov. Horace A. Hildreth ahead by about three to one over Roy L. Ferrald with F. Davis Clark leading Leland B. Currier in the Democratic subdematorial race. Unofficial tallies from 60 of 619 precincts place Hildreth at 1,015 votes to 359 for Ferrald and Clark at 128 to Currier's 5.

Union Curbs Backed as Hobbs Bill Heads for Senate Floor
A new move in Congress to curb unions emerges as the Senate judiciary committee votes to send Rep Hobbs's anti racketeering bill to the Senate floor. The measure, stalled since September, would make extortion and threats against interstate commerce illegal with penalties up to 19,000 dollars fine and 20 years imprisonment. Backers say the bill targets unions that demand payments from farmers trucking produce, even when drivers are not employed.
