CAMPAIGN '68: INDIANA PRIMARY (CBS, 10-10:30 p.m.). CBS continues its cover age of this topsy-turvy political year with live reports from the candidates' head quarters, comment by Anchorman Walter Cronkite, Eric Sevareid and Joseph Benti, and computer analysis of the early pri mary returns...
...more than state solvency that caused the Indianapolis Star to call him "all Hoosier from his head to his toes." His family has been in the state since 1821. He is a walking repository of Hoosier lore, with which he delights audiences. As Branigin expounds early Indiana history, Lieut. Colonel George Rogers Clark comes out a combination of Daniel Boone, Kit Carson and Davy Crockett; Clark's conquests of Kaskaskia, Vincennes and Cahokia sound only slightly less momentous than Saratoga, Trenton and Yorktown...
...same breath as Marjorie Main, Jimmy Hoffa, John Dillinger and Eugene Debs.

Careening through 18-hour campaign days toward the May 7 Indiana primary against Eugene McCarthy and favorite son Governor Roger Branigin, Kennedy has been profligate with his strength and sometimes sloppy in his tactics. Last week he admitted that 20 Senate employees working for himself and Brother Teddy on the U.S. payroll are engaged in campaign activities. Too often he allows his staffers to reinforce the image of ruthlessness, as when one Kennedy operative phoned a middle-level Washington official and demanded campaign assistance. "I'll be happy to do everything I can after the convention," said the official...
