State Adoption Method Hit Sen. Smith Wins Maine Primary
Arizona Supreme Court unanimously stripped the state department of public welfare of all authority over adoptions and shifted power to state licensed child welfare agencies. Chief Justice M. T. Phelps noted the department cannot grant or withhold consent to adoptions and lacks even the right to accept relinquishments. The ruling reversed a Pima County decision denying Lloyd R. B. and Livinia L. Anderson of Tucson their adoption petition.

Smith Lands Maine Senate Nomination in Landslide Victory
In Maine's primary, Senator Margaret Chase Smith won re nomination by over five to one against McCarthy ally Robert L. Jones. With 613 of 626 precincts counted, Smith led 96,159 to 19,203, carrying all but four precincts and most votes despite a lackluster campaign. Jones carried only Biddeford and four other precincts, failing to win any votes in 19 others. Jones’ defeat contrasted with McCarthy’s position, as Smith suggested McCarthy planted Jones, though the race itself was not a direct McCarthy contest.

The largest Saguaro National Monument forest fire in four years raged on the Rincon mountains east slopes. Eight park rangers led by Earl Steel fought the blaze as 104 Indian fire fighters joined, with a 12 mile climb to the camp at Manning and supplies dropped by air. By afternoon the fire covered 350 acres, fueled by winds and crown fires, threatening pine and Douglas fir at 7,000 to 8,000 feet. Nearby crews from Coronado and other areas were on standby, with additional beds and food dropped for two days for up to 100 men.
