John J. Sparkman (D-Ala) predicted today that a "very heavy majority" of the national convention delegates to be picked in the Alabama Democratic primary next Tuesday will support Adlai E. Stevenson for the presidential nomination. Sparkman, who was Stevenson's running mate in 1952, is a proStevenson candidate for delegateat-large. F.

Joseph Donohue, campaign manager for Sen. Estes Kefauver, declined to make any predictions about Alabama but said, "We are hopeful that we'll have some support there." Kefauver strength is expected to be greatest in areas served by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which he has long championed. Some of Gov. James E. Folsom's supporters also are regarded as potential Kefauver backers.

While Alabama elects unpledged delegates Tuesday, a more direct contest between Stevenson and Kefauver will come in the District of Columbia's first official Democratic primary. Delegate slates pledged to both candidates have been entered. Alabama Democrats will elect delegates who will share 26 votes at the national convention while District of Columbia delegates will have six "I fully that a very voteficipate heavy majority of the Alabama delegates will support Gov. Stevenson," Sparkman told the United Press. He added that Stevenson should get "virtually as many" delegates from Alabama as Kefauver won in scoring a major upset over Stevenson in the Minnesota primary last month.

The Tennessee senator picked up 26 Minnesota delegate votes against four for Stevenson. Sparkman complained that too much attention is being given to a few presidential primaries. He referred specifically to Minnesota, Florida "and California three states providing direct contests between Kefauver Stevenson. "My contention is that no state primaries are decisive," he said. While much attention is focused on the California primary June 5, he said, Stevenson picked up about the same number of delegates in the Pennsylvania primary last Tuesday.

Gore Promises Fight To Hike Primary Highways United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 28 (UP)- Sen. Albert Gore today promised an all-out fight to increase funds earmarked for primary, urban and rural roads in a highway building program. The Tennessee Democrat, who is chairman of the Senate highway subcommittee, predicted the Senate will insist on 900 million a year in federal aid for such roads. States would put up the same amount. The annual 900-million expenditure for this purpose was authorized in Gore's five-year, 18 billion dollar road construction bill which the Senate approved last year.

Another Democratic bill, which the House overwhelmingly passed Friday, would provide 725 million in the next fiscal year for the three classes of highways. The amount would be successively increased 25 million each year over a 13-year program. in each would be for construeThe bulls of the funds authorized tion of upwards of 40,000 miles of superhighways in an so interstate system linking the nation's main cities and most of the state capitals. Gore foresaw no difficulty in getting a House Senate compro-linto mise on money for the interstate network. The bills call for slightly different outlays in various years but the ultimate cost would be about the same.

The Senate bill would authorize only about the first half of the interstate system to give Congress a chance to review the program at the halfway mark. The House bill calls for an annual report on it from the administration. Under both versions, the federal government would pay nine-tenths the cost of the superhighways and state and local governments the remaining one-tenth. Senate leaders indicated approval of the House plan to help finance the huge road building program by increasing so called "user" taxes. But the Senate may change the House rates.

The House bill calls for hiking gasoline and diesel fuel taxes one cent a gallon, tire taxes three cents a pound and taxes on trucks, buses and trailers 2 per cent. The cost was estimated at about $8.83 annually for an "average motorist" driving 10,000 miles a year. Gore predicted the Senate will substitute his bill for the construction provisions of the House bill. This would throw the legislation a conference committee. Mystery Bomb Sent As Gift For Wedding Injures Four DAYTON, Ohio, April 28 (UP)A mysterious bomb, disguised as a wedding gift, exploded in a suburban home today, critically injuring a high school coach who.

planned to marry this morning and attend the funeral of his father this afternoon.

"Then it went off," she said.

Machine Shop 211 16t St. Phone TE 2-8169 RAIFORD, April 28 (UP)Convicted rapist Charlie Copeland Jr. was executed in Florida's electric chair today for the 1953 rape of a young white girl in Jacksonville. The switch was thrown at 8:36 a.m. today, marking the end of three years of legal maneuvering to keep the 24-year-old Jacksonville Negro out of the state's death chamber.

Two desperate last minute efforts to stay the execution a fourth time failed yesterday. when the state and U. S. Supreme Courts turned down final appeals. Copeland's attorneys, in their final arguments, claimed the death sentence was "discriminatory" because Negroes are almost invariably given the death sentence in rape cases involving white while, in the history of Florida, only one white man has ever been executed for the offense of rape.

On two previous occasions death warrants had been withdrawn by Gov. LeRoy Collins to allow Copeland to exhaust every possible legal means to avoid electrocution. Copeland died calmly. Appar-; ently thriving on prison fare, he required trousers with a waist four inches larger than he required just two weeks ago. When he entered the death chamber and was placed in the chair, clergymen he looked who had at one been of futhe tiro for hours and asked: "It won't hurt, will it, Father?" Then he said "hello" to two on the who were among deputy sheriffs, had worked the estimated 70 witnesses on hand the execution.

In the California primary, 68 pledged Democratic delegates will be basis. chosen on Pennsylvania a winner Democrats send unpledged delegates with 74 votes, and, as of now, Stevenson is expected to get a sizeable majority. In 1952, Kefauver received eight Alabama votes on first ballot and on each of the next two. Stevenson received only half a vote and the rest of the delegation backed Sen. Richard B.

Russell of Georgia. Also the Alabama primary Sen. Lister Hill is seeking renomination against Rear Adm. John Crommelin, retired.
