Tuesday COLUMBIA (AP) An even lighter turnout than two weeks ago is expected Tuesday in a South Carolina Democratic special runoff primary to select a nominee for state treasurer.

The Sept. 20 turnout was a predicted light one of votes, with Grady Patterson drawing 20,134 and Tom Elliott getting 15,846. They eliminated William Garrett of Spartanburg and Mason Motes of Laurens. Patterson, an assistant attor ney general, has worked with the treasurer's office. Elliot is Richland County treasurer.

Patterson carried 28 counties, Elliott took 15, Motes carried two and Garrett one in the first primary. The special vating came about when veteran treasurer jett Bates died in August. He was unopposed in the June primary and had no November opposition. Since his death, Republicans have tried to get a candidate, W. W.

Wannamaker of Orangeburg, on the ballot. But state election officials say the dead line for announcing intention to seek an office passed for all political parties in April. The matter will be argued before the State Supreme Court on Wednesday at a special session. The Republicans say if they can't get Wannamaker's name on the ballot they will run him as a write-in candidate.

Gudger reviewed action taken by the union in issuing a joint press release with the management, acknowledging that Wednesday night's strike was unauthorized and requesting all union members to return to work. Gudger further advised union members that they had complied with conditions of the con tract by supplying management with a written notice Friday that the walkout was not authorized and violated contract terms.

Mangum, president of the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation. "I am sure that farmers are going to give careful consideration to the matter as to whether they will go hrough with the sales," said Mrs.
