Truman Entry Trails His Foe In Missouri Senate Race
The Associated Press reports Senator Emery W. Allison supported by President Truman trailed by about 10 000 votes as Missouri’s Democratic Senate nomination counted ballots. With 4281 of 4676 precincts reporting Allison 165 955 to 174 555 for Thomas C Hennings Jr. of St Louis, the lead narrowed but remained indecisive as most votes were counted. Republican Forrest C Donnell led renomination, and incumbents appeared to win in other races. In Kansas Gov Frank Carlson was nominated for US Senator and Edward F Arn for governor.
