OMAHA. Dec. 6 (UP) Political circles here buzzed today with re ports that Chief Justice Robert Sim mons of the Nebraska supreme court is considering entering the race for the republican nomination for Unit ed States senator in the 1D42 pri maries. Should the reports prove true, an alignment of candidates may oc cur, according to political dopesters. Instead of having only Senator George W. Norris to fear, other as pirants for the senatorship would be faced witn the task of defeating a man who twice ran for the office and whose vote-getting abilities are well known. Opinion still is divided as to whether Norris again will seek re election. His final decision, however, is not expected to deter Simmons if : the chief juctiee really has made up his mind to run. Another report here has it that Republican State Chairman Kenneth Wherry is considering a plan to run for the gubernatorial nomination in stead of for the senatorial designa tion. With Governor Dwight Griswold an almost sure filer for senator. j Wherry's friends believe the Pavnee j city party leader w ould have a com- atorial nomination.
