...first time, the Young Democratic Club will have complete charge of the campaign in the four precincts adjacent to the University, in addition to the annual tasks of door-to-door and man-in-the-street canvassing. The club will meet in about a week for formal endorsements, but members expect to concentrate their efforts on supporting Springfield Mayor Thomas O'Connor's bid for the U.S. Senate...
...some 25 million unregistered voters (including 2,000,000 who will reach their 21st birthdays before Election Day) to sign up with the Democrats.

The move's real importance is that the rest of Collaro's stock is held by Great Universal Stores Ltd., biggest retail and mailorder chain in Britain (2,700 stores, 34,000 door-to-door salesmen). With this readymade sales organization, Magnavox will distribute its own British-made TV sets, radios and phonographs. Says President Frank Freimann: "We're ready to expand. This gives us a real springboard to move fast into the English market...
