Samuel Gejdenson for the Democratic congressional nomination in the state's 2nd District. FLORIDA: Stone faces a tough race because he needs more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid an Oct. 7 runoff, and polls show him with less than 30 percent.

Top challengers Include Bill Gunter, the state insurance commissioner whom Stone beat in a runoff in 1974. Six Republicans are seeking their partys senatorial nomination. Also involved in a primary fight is Rep. Richard Kelly, a Republican, who is under indictment in the Abscam scandal. NEW YORK: Javits, 78, is challenged by Al-fonse D' Amato, presiding supervisor of the Long Island Town of Hempstead.

On the Democratic side, polls show the leader in the race for the Senate nomination to be either Bess Myerson, a former Miss America whom Lindsay appointed to the post of New York City commissioner of consumer affairs, or Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman. The fourth candidate, Queens District Attorney John Santuc-ci, trailed far behind. Congressional races Include a challenge to another Abscam defendant Democratic incumbent John Murphy. City Mayor John V.

Former New Hampshire Gov. Meldrim Thomson, trying to win the Republican gubernatorial nomination in his bid to take back the state-house.

Here is a look at some of the contests: COLORADO: Three men, including former Army Secretary Howard (Bo) Callaway, and a woman are trying for the Republican senatorial nomination. Incumbent Gary Hart is unopposed for the Democratic nomination. CONNECTICUT: Buckley had the endorsement of the state GOP, but is challenged by Richard Bozzuto, minority leader of the state Senate. The primary ballot includes offspring of two well-known Connecticut politicians. Rep.

Christopher Dodd, son of former Sen. Thomas Dodd, is unopposed for the Democratic senatorial nomination. The Attociiled Prett 4 Contests for Senate nominations took the spotlight today as voters In 13 states cast ballots in primaries that featured some famous names past and present. Sen. Jacob Javits, seeking a fifth term, faced the first primary challenge of his political career.

Sen. Richard Stone, trying for a second term, had five opponents including one man who almost beat him in 1974. There were races for Senate nominations in eight states besides New York and Florida. They were: Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah, Vermont and Wisconsin. Primaries also were held in Minnesota, Rhode Island and Wyoming.

Two incumbent senators in addition to Javits and Stone had opposition on primary ballots, but neither Paul Laxalt, a Republican from Nevada, nor John Durkin, a Democrat from New Hampshire, faced a serious challenge. Several former officeholders tried to make political comebacks. They included: Former congressman and former New York Across the country) Garter signs military pay boost WASHINGTON (AP) President Carter, saying the men and women In the armed forces are the "heart and soul" of U.S. military strength, has signed two military spending bills. The measures provide 852.7 billion for military pay, procurement, research, and development and 8500 million for increased military benefits.

Carter expressed concern about "unrequested additions" in the first bill, but he said the second would help "keep our nation secure" by boosting efforts to recruit and retain qualified military personnel. Under the new legislation, pay and benefits for the armed services will rise more than 84 billion in 1981 the largest increase "in the history of the nation in either war or peace," Carter said. Carter's black support down: Jordan NEW YORK (AP) Vernon Carter, president of the National Urban League, said today that he did not believe President Carter can count on the black vote "to the extent" he did in 1976. Speaking at his first news conference since he was shot in Fort Wayne, Ind. on May 29, Jordan said that now Carter has four years of a record to defend, and in some aspects that record does not meet with approval by a lot of people in the black community." He refused to name a favorite among the three major presidential candidates.

Jordan lost 40 pounds during a 99-day hospitalization which ended Thursday when he was released from New York Hospital. His movements were visibly stiff, but his voice was firm. "I refuse to let the possibility of renewed violence stand in the way of my duties." 7 Sniper again fires on newspaper SAN DIEGO (AP) Five bullets from a high-powered rifle smashed into the Union-Tribune newspaper building early today, shattering three windows and a glass door, police said. No one was injured. It was the fourth such unexplained shooting attack on the newspaper plant since it was built in 1973.

Police said three of the bullets went into the fourth-floor library, and two others hit the third-floor newsroom of the morning San Diego Union shortly after reporters and editors had gone home today. The splintered windows included one recently replaced in the library after being broken by another bullet Aug. 24. Harassment, censorship at Ft McCoy is claimed Meyer, who is from Madison, also edits the camp newspaper. She criticized the federal government for not allowing the news media access to the Cubans.

She said the Cubans felt they were "very badly portrayed by the media because the media is not allowed into the fenced off area where the Cubans are." If the media could talk to them without representatives of public affairs or the (camps) Cuban government, they (the media) would have been able to see It is not a group of mental patients and hardened criminals, she said. About 5.000 Cuban refugees remained at the fort in west-central Wisconsin, awaiting either resettlement or transfer to Ft. Chaffee, Ark. Meyer said the Cubans see Chaffee as "a permanent concentration camp," and that's the reason for recent uprisings. The refugee center at Ft.

McCoy was expected to be closed later this month. Meyer said the date was top secret, mainly because it is assumed there will be hysteria among the Cubans and the civilian employees will make plans to go elsewhere before that." Group for teens is planned A six-week group for teens, 13-17, will begin on September 15th at St. John's Lutheran Church, 322 E. Washington. The group, which will meet from p.m.

on Mondays until October 20th, will focus on proper diet and nutrition, self-image, dealing with stress through constructive physical activities, and ways to feel good without chemical highs. All teens are welcome. The group is free. To sign up or for more information, call Carol Klukaczewski at Dane County Social Services, 249-5351, ext. 228.

High Performance at the Lowest Price The Associated Press United Press International A Madison woman who works with Cuban refugees at Ft. McCoy said Tuesday the federal government withheld her mail, monitored her phone calls and has been harassing federal employees in a phenomenal censorship effort. A spokesman at Ft. McCoy demed the accusations. I personally have had all my personal belongings ransacked and there Is a great deal of harassment to anyone who speaks to the press here, Elena Meyer said in an interview with WHA radio in Madison.

She spoke with WHA from a public telephone. Meyer, a teacher employed by the Federal Emergency Management Administration, said censorship at the fort "has been phenomenal." She said her phone conversations had been recorded and that she had not received mail in five weeks from friends who told her by phone they had written her. High military officials tell me my voice Is quite familiar on the tape, she said. The press has not had any access to the Cubans. There is a great deal of harassment to anyone who speaks to the press here.

None of my colleagues would be willing to speak with you today because of that. I am able to do it because I don't mind having to heave here. David Nichols, public relations spokesman at the fort, denied Meyer's accusations, saying, "We dont engage in that kind of activity here. We ask people to talk in their own field of expertise and not engage in rumor." We don't monitor telephone calls with the media, he said. As for Meyer's allegations about mail, Nichols, said, "I would suggest to this individual that she talk to the postmaster about this." Nichol said it probably was an address problem.
