Forging the Bloc. At his Masonic Temple rally on Jackson's Lynch Street, Evers adamantly espoused the brighter side, declaring himself ready for another round. Although last week's victory allows Griffin to serve the remainder of Williams' term, he must face the regular Democratic primary contest in June. If Evers is a candidate again, he once more has a chance to overcome a splintered white ticket. Or he may avoid the Democratic primary by qualifying himself as an independent and go into a three-man November general election against the Democratic winner and a traditionally feckless...

...clients, mostly brokers. Others have expressed interest. Wall Street is always greedy for news that will help make money, and Dow-Jones has grown a mite complacent over the years without any competition. "All Reuters needs is a couple of beats and it's made," says a Merrill Lynch broker. It is likely to get them. A staff of 70 will scout New York City and Washington for business news; Reuters will use Ultronic teleprinters capable of printing 100 words a minute, as compared with the current Dow-Jones rate of 60 words a minute...
