Supreme Court delays inquiry into primary campaign
Philadelphia June 17 The state Supreme Court stayed the proposed grand jury inquiry into primary campaign charges. Attorney Carl B Shelley said petitions were vague and uncertain and should be submitted to the Dauphin County court with acts specified. Shelley warned the petition might be ruled by the Supreme Court. The matter could be resolved by next Wednesday. The biennial Republican state committee meeting to be held Saturday expects harmony as James Torrangé campaigns for Judge Arthur H James and potentially elects a new state chairman to succeed G Edward Green. Green supports Gifford Pinchot and a slate of candidates prior to the primary faces opposition from Philadelphia leaders.
