Court ruling sparks fight over Texas primary influence
United Press reports a move to use a Supreme Court decision invalidating the Texas primary to challenge Senate bids by Franke Smith of Tilivore and William S. Ware of Pennsylvania. Senator Borah argues the decision questions whether primaries are under federal control and should curb primary expenditures. Southern observers predict limited immediate impact.
