Primaries
Jackson, Ford winners; Carter takes Vermont
By ARNOLD SAWISLAK
United Press International
Sen. Henry Jackson, who flopped
trying for the White House four years
ago, won the Massachusetts primary
Tuesday and said he had rekindled the
Democratic “grand coalition” that
produced victory for FDR, Truman,
Kennedy and Johnson.
The veteran Washington state
Democrat defeated seven other major
opponents in the first allout test of 1976
presidential aspirants. Jimmy Carter,
the former Georgia governor who won
New Hampshire last week, beat two
liberal opponents in the Vermont
Democratic primary.
The New England primaries were a
piece of cake for President Ford. He
beat Ronald Reagan convincingly in
Massachusetts where they were both on
the ballot, and crushed the former
California governor’s Vermont write-in
campaign.
Jackson jubilantly called told his
cheering supporters, “We brought
America back together again in the
state of Massachusetts and we’ll do it

Ranger finds bodies
soaked with gasoline
COLUMBIA, N.C. (UPI) -
The gasoline-soaked bodies of
five persons —a woman and
four children — were found
smoldering Tuesday in a
shallow, freshly dug grave in a
stand of reseeded pine trees.
A county forest ranger sent to
the area to fight a brush fire
discovered the grave and two of
the bodies and summoned
sheriff deputies, who uncovered
the other three.
The bodies appeared to be of
a woman about 50, a girl about
18 and boys 16, 10 and 6,
unidentified but possibly mem
bers of the same family. They
were sent to the state medical
examiners office in Chapel Hill
for autopsies.
“Our agents are just com
pletely in the dark now.
Everybody just assumes it was
a whole family,” said State
Attorney General Rufus L.
Edmisten.
Edmisten said first reports
indicated all five had fractured
skulls.
“It looks like, preliminarily,
that they’ve been beaten to
death, that the perpetrator
killed them in one place, drove
to another and placed them in
the grave and attempted to
burn them,” said Edmisten.
Edmisten, reached by tele
phone in Raleigh, said officers
speculated that the killer
accidentally set fire to the area
while pouring gasoline on the
bodies and fled. A five-gallon
gasoline can and a pitchfork
were found at the scene.
“It could have been that the
fire jumped up and burned the
perpetrator,” he said.
State Bureau of Investigation
agents, sheriff’s deputies and
highway patrolmen roped off
the area and worked until dark
in an effort to locate clues and
get a lead to “finding the
actual crime scene.”
“The burial scene had no
indication of a struggle,”
Edmisten said.
for the rest of the 50 states.”
Ford’s campaign manager, Howard
Callaway, also crowed over results.
“We won by more than we thought we
would,” he said. “A great deal was said
about he’s never won anywhere except
Grand Rapids, and now he’s won in
New Hampshire, Vermont and
Massachusetts.”
Behind Jackson in Massachusetts
was Rep. Morris K. Udall of Arizona
who overtook Gov. George Wallace of
Alabama for second place in the wee
hours of the morning. Bringing up the
rear were former Sen. Fred Harris of
Oklahoma, 1972 vice presidential
candidate Sargent Shriver, Sen. Birch
Bayh of Indiana, antiabortion candi
date Ellen McCormack and Gov. Milton
Shapp of Pennsylvania.
Bayh, crestfallen by his dismal
showing, said he would spend today
reassessing his campaign amid
speculation he would quit.
In Vermont, Carter beat Shriver,
Harris and McCormack in a “beauty
contest” involving no delegates for the
coming national conventions.
But Massachusetts was for real

In the Republican delegate race,
Ford won 27 and Reagan 15. One
showed no preference.
Unlike the New Hampshire
aftermath, not everyone found
something to crow about Tuesday. But
the camps of Ford, Jackson, Wallace,
Udall and even Harris saw some form
of victory in the results.
Callaway said Ford’s two wins were
“a great victory” and predicted they
would provide the push to beat Reagan
in Florida.
Wallace declared himself “elated,
almost speechless” to have run as high
as he did in Massachusetts.
Udall said he set out to lead the
liberals and did, warning the losers
“there just isn’t any other horse to
ride” other than himself for the rest of
the campaign.
Harris, despite his finish in the
bottom part of the list, said
Massachusetts proved the party’s
progressives can put together a
winning majority, even though the
threesome of Jackson, Wallace and
Carter — usually perceived as
conservative to moderate — got more
than half the total vote.
