...postpone the primary day, and 2) John White, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has warned the state's Democrats that the March 4 date violates a D.N.C. rule requiring all state Democratic organizations to take "positive steps" to set their primary elections between March 11 and June 11. If they do not do so, contends White, the delegates chosen by any earlier election could possibly be denied seats at the Democratic National Convention next summer in New York City.

Such deaths may now decline, however, if only because the number of people fleeing Viet Nam, whose inhumane policies have generated the bulk of the boat people, has dropped sharply. The flow of refugees from Viet Nam declined from 110,000 during May and June to an estimated 22,000 in July, apparently as one result of last month's U.N. -sponsored 65-country conference on refugees in Geneva.

"Had the story got East Coast play," says Times Washington Bureau Chief Jack Nelson, "it would undoubtedly have had more impact." Chandler's growing presence in the Greater...
