Little interest shown by Iowans for primary
United Press International reports a dull Iowa primary with low turnout expected. Only six congressional seats, state Senate half and all House seats on the ballot, no governor or statewide contests. Secretary Melvin Synhorst projects under 11 percent turnout, about 215000 voters, the lowest since 1950. The 5th district contest between Kenneth Falk and John Murray draws attention as a potential Harkin challenge.
