New Deal politicians prepared today for important tests in 
two primary elections of the four to be hold on Tuesday. In 
Missouri, the Roosevelt Administration virtually has conceded 
that anti New Deal Senator Bennett Champ Clark will be renomi- 
nated. Tie principal interest in the Missouri primary centers 
on a fight between Stark and Kansas City boss Tom Pendergast 
over a vacancy on the State Supreme Court. Pendergast's candi- 
date is Judge Billings while the Governor is backing Judge 
Douglas. Charges that a leading candidate for the Republican 
senatorial nomination in Kansas, the Rev. Gerald Winrod; is 
an anti Semite who has accepted money from German Nazis, have 
marked a bitter campaign in the - sunflower state. Winrod is 
opposed by former Governor Reed, Methodist pastor Jese Eisher 
and Lawyer Dallas Knapp . National GOP Chairman Hamilton has 
opposed Winrod bitterly. There also is a four cornered race 
for the Republican Gubernatorial nomination in Kansas. The 
four republican candidates for governor are Harold McGugin, 
Payne Rather, Charles Thompson and Carl Newcomer. Democratic 
Senator McGill and democratic Governor Etonian have no strong 
opposition in Virginia, a Congressional contest between 
Representative -Howard Smith and the son of the former ambassa- 
dor to Germany, William Dodd, jr. , will be the principal 
New Deal test. Interior Secretary Ickes has given the New Deal 
blessing to Dodd.
