READY TO ATTACK Strike Tents and Prepare to Move Against “Red” Army in South. By the Assoclated Press. ALLEGAN, Mich., August 12.—Pro- Sected by a semi-circular screen of eavalry patrols, division aircraft and artillery and machine gun emplace- ments, troops of the 6th Corps, 2d Army, engaging in the West Michigan ‘war games, struck their “heavy canvas” today and prepared to move out early Thursday to meet the “Red” Army from the South. Meanwhile, one private was killed end another injured when an Army truck crashed into a post along a highway south of Kokomo, Ind., early today. Frank Handy, 18, of Rock Haven, Ky., member of the 19th Ordnance Company, was the soldier Killed. ‘The squad tents in which the troops of the 32d and 33d National Guard Divisions and the 12th Brigade of Reg- ulars have lived since they were loaded into trucks and hauled to Camp Custer. In the field, the troops will live in “pup” tents and sleep on the ground. After reports from the 108th Obser- vation Squadron planes of the Illinois National Guard that detachments of the “Red” mechanized forces spent last night at Kokomo, Ind., officers of the “Blue” Army defending the Great Lakes area in the theoretical war esti- mated the “enemy” might reach Allegan County this afternoon. Anti-aircraft batteries of the Na- tional Guard divisions were ordered to set up their guns after “Red” aircraft ‘was sighted in the “war” area. Unit commanders today had their orders for protecting tomorrow’s ad- vance by flank, advance and rear guard actions. Machine guns and 75-mm. batteries will cover the bridge heads of the Kalamazoo River Valley in the 32d Division Area, while a bat- talion of infantry was to protect the 33d Divislon's rail head at Fenn- ville. -— Olympics (Continued From First Page.) a result of a severe cold, the Huskies started slowly and trailed the field during the early stages as the Japa- nese, with their fantastically high beat that ranged between 40 and 50 strokes to the minute, set the early pace. Great Britain pulled into the lead, however, after 1,000 meters and ‘Washington, fnally hitting its stride, pulled out after them. They found the Britens disinclined to come back to them, and Hume had to send the beat up to 38 in a great ‘finishing drive to send the huskies’ shell across the finish line in front as the 25,000 spectators yelled their approval of the stirring battle. Far back of the leaders trailed France, clocked in 6:11.6; Japan, 6:12.3, and Czechoslovakia, 6:28.6. Hungarians Also Win. ‘The Hungarians won the second eight-oared trial in 6:07.6, beating the Jtalians and Canadians in that order. Dan Barrow of Philadelphia, beaten decisively in singles sculls yesterday, came back today to win his race in the consolations in 7:31.3 and thus qualified for the semi-finals. Barrow won by a narraw margin from Stein- lJeitner of Italy. Medica and Uto swam practically @ dead heat for the first 200 meters and then the 18-year-old Japanese star went out strongly and quiekly opened up a sizable lead. When Uto turned 300 meters he was more than a length in front and the crowd thought the race was over. Medica slowly quickened his long stroke and reduced his Nipponese rival's margin to half a length with 60 meters to go and then proceeded to overhaul him with a brilliant spurt as Uto appeared to weaken. Uto's time was 4:45.6, one-tenth of a second slower than his former mark. Makino, in third place, was clocked in 4:48.1; Flanagan, 4:52.7; Hiroshi Negami, Japan, 4:53.6; Jean Taris, France, 4:53.8, and Bob Leivers, Great Britain, 5:00.9. Dina Senfl, new Olympic . record holder at 1:16.6, won the first semi- final heat in the women's 100-meter backstroke semi-finals by a length over Edith Motridge Segal of Los An- geles, who was a foot ahead of Miss Bruunstrom of Denmark. Miss Senfl's time was 1:17.1. The American was two seconds slower than the winner. Rita Mastenbroek, Holland’s Olympic 100-meter free style champion, won the second semi-final heat in a close finish with Lorna Frampton of Great Britain, with Alice Bridges of Ux- bridge, Mass., taking third. The Dutch star was clocked in 1:19.1. The blanket finish in today’s diving netted 19 points and put the Ameri- can side, with a total of 20 pouints, in the lead for women's swimming hon- ors. Like yesterday, when Dick Dege- ner, Wayne and Al Greene finished one-two-three in the men’s cham- plonship, it represented the second straight time Americans have swept Olympic springboard honors. Conquers Japanese Star. Adolf Kiefer of Chicago lopped 1.3 seconds off George Kojac's mark set in 1928 at Amsterdam in winning his heat in the 100-meter backstroke event. The flashy Chicagoan, timed in 1:06:9, as compared with the for- mer record of 1;08.2, triumphed by a length and a half over the Japanese star, Masajl Kiyokawa, and another half length over Germany’s Schwara. The Chicagoan's performance also lowered the listed world record of 1:07.4, made by Albert Vande Weghe of Paterson, N. J,, two years ago. To- day, however, Vande Weghe was far ©ff that pace as he placed a close sec- ond to Japan’s Yasuhiko Kojima in 1:10.6, nevertheless qualifying for the ESTABLISHED 1365 @ | PRICE! _PRICE!

Elizabeth Ryan, Mavis Freedman, Bernice Lapp and Olive McKean, comprising the United States women’s 400-meter relay team, fought off a stirring challenge from Great Brit- ain's quartet to win their heat by a foot in 4:47.1 and gain the final. The Dutch foursome, however, was much [ more impressive, taking the second heat in 4:38.1, one-tenth of a second slower than the Olympic record. Expresses Happiness. Miss Gestring wavered between laughter and tears for half an hour after she won. Members of the American swimming team, including Miss Rawls, took turns hugging and kissing the diminutive champion. “I don't think I ever will be so happy | again,” said the little Pacific Coast star. “I couldn't believe it when they announced my last score.” Miss Rawls, who also was runner-up four years ago at Los Angeles, seemed almost as happy taking second place again. i ““That last one was a beauty, Margie,” she said enthusiastically. Miss Rawls appeared to have the championship sewed up afer half the fleld of 16 competitors had completed the three compulsory and three elective dives. But “Margie” still was to be heard from. Trailing .13 of & point at the end of the compulsory competition, she opened the optional campaign with a marvelous forward somersault with a half twist, making the day’s highest score, 16.20, and passing Miss Rawls. Back Where She Started. Her next dive, though, which was a one-and-one-half running somersault with a tuck. she gained only 14.40 points, putting her right back where she started. The crowd of 10,000 almost held its collective breath as Miss Gestring con- fidently squared off for her final leap, realizing she needed the difficult score of 15.07 to gain a tie. She cleaved both the air and the water beautifully. Cheering began and swelled as the judges set up their seven individual figures and it became evi- dent that Miss Gestring had come close to turning the trick. When it was announced her last dive rated 16.00 points the crowd rose and gave the little girl a tremendous ovation. Miss Gestring’s figures for the compulsory dives, 12.96, 13.95, 15.77 for a total of 42.68; elective, 16.20, 14.40, 16.00, total, 46.60, Primaries (Continued Prom First Page.) Patch of Payette and T.

ARKANSAS RACE CLOSE. | Bailey Has Lead in Five-Man Contest for Governorship. LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas, August 12 (#).—Returns from yesterday's Democratic primary, which swept Sen- ate Democratic Leader Joe T. Robin- son to renomination, left the outcome of the five-man Governor's race in doubt today. Robinson’s majority over two oppo- nents swelled steadily. Only a plu- rality was required for nomination under the one-primary system. Returns from 1,586 precincts out of 2,156 gave Robinson 108,988; Cleve- land Holland, Townsend pension plan advocate, 25,551; J. Rosser Venable, Little Rock World War veteran, 13,- 586. The close Governor's contest ap- peared to lie between Attorney Gen- eral Carle E. Bailey and Secretary of State Ed F. McDonald, as Pulaski County Judge R. A. Cook, who held the second position in earlier tabu- lations, dropped back in third place. Bailey Holds Lead. With 1,633 precincts tabulated, leaving only 523 still out, Bailey held @ lead of nearly 2,000 votes over Mc- Donald and nearly 3,000 over Judge Cook. The tabulation: Bailey, 50,463; Mc-~ Donald, 48561; Cook, 47506, Tom J. Terral, 17,517; Reed, 4,488. Support of the Arkansas Share-the- ‘Wealth Societies was divided between Cook and Terral. Three incumbent Representatives maintained comfortable leads, while | Wade Kitchens, Magnolia, held an | edge of approximately 300 votes over Neil Marsh, El Dorado, in the race for Representative in the seventh dis- trict. In the first district, on the basis of returns from 15. out of 306 precincts, Representative W. J. Driver, Osceola, had 381 to 127 for State Senator Wal- ter Raney of McCrory and 98 for Zal B.

Miller, Searcy, and Roy Richardson, second district prosecuting attorney, were in a close race, on the basis of returns from 26 out of 350 precincts in the second district. Miller had 537 to 414 for Richardson. ‘The total of Representative Ben Cravens, Fort Smith, was more than the combined vote of his four oppo- nents in the fourth district.

Nashville Attorney Wins Seat of Late Speaker Byrns. NASHVILLE, Tenn., August 12 (#). —A margin of 13 votes brought vic- tory today to Richard M. Atkinson, 42-year-old Nashville attorney, in his race for the congressional seat held by the late Speaker Joseph W. Byrns for almost three decades. _ Atkinson, who had the support of the Townsend plan organization, won the Democratic nomination from the fifth Tennessee district in the Au- gust 6 primary. The official count was completed last night. It gave Atkinson 14,144 votes to 14,- 131 for Will T. Cheek, retired busi- ness man. J. Carlton Loser ran third. Atkinson, a Marine Corps sergeant during the World War, has been com- pared by his friends to the late Huey Long because of the manner and vigor of his campaign. He is small of stature, but has a booming voice. He campaigned with a sound truck and usually appeared in his shirt sleeves. He received word of his victory in & hospital, where he has been con- fined with automobibe accident in- juries since a few days before the primary. 200 Enter Strike Plant.

C, WEDNESDAY, LEMKE BACKERS AGAIN 70 SPEAK Townsend, Coughlin, Smith to Address Convention of National Union. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, August 12.—Three outspoken champions of the presiden- tial aspirations of Willlam Lemke— Dr. F. E. Townsend, Rev. Charles E. Coughlin and Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith —for the second time in less than a month will share this week a Cleve- land convention platform. The trio cemented a political align- ment behind the Union party candi- date at the Townsend convention last month. Last night, it was announced that Dr. Townsend and Smith would speak Saturday at Father Coughlin’s National Union for Social Justice convention. The Detroit priest is scheduled to talk at the opening session Friday morning and again Sunday with Rep- resentative Lemke at & closing rally in Cleveland’s lakefront stadium. Also on the Friday program is Senator Holt (Democrat of West Virginia), another New Deal critic. . Roosevelt to Visit City. President Roosevelt will make a four-hour visit to the city Friday. Tentative plans call for Mr. Roose- velt to give an informal luncheon ad- dress before about 400 invited guests. James A. Farley, Democratic national chairman, said in Washington yester- day the time of the visit had no poli- tical significance. Opposition flared within the Na- tional Union's official ranks immedi- ately after Sylvester V.

I'm going to take it up with him Thurs- day morning.” “Dr. Townsend was invited to speak by Father Coughlin,” said McMahon. “If Rev. Gerald Smith arrives with Dr. Townsend he will also be placed on the program Saturday afternoon.” The radio priest, who yesterday ad- vanced his arrival here from Thurs- day to Wednesday, later returned to his original plans in order to avoid any intimation of interference with President Roosevelt, Davis said. ACTIVITIES DISCUSSED. Bishop Reviewed Coughlin’s Course in Vatican Conference. VATICAN CITY, August 12 (#).— The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin’s politi- cal activities were discussed officially by Pope Pius XI and Bishop Michael Gallagher of Detroit, Vatican prelates disclosed yesterday, but were explained satisfactorily. ‘They disagreed with Bishop Gal- lagher’s assertion that the matter had not been reviewed in high Vatican cir- cles. But they said the doughty, white- haired champion of Father Coughlin had “accomplished his mission.” The bishop, Father Coughlin's ec- clesiastical superior, explained the radio priest’s activities and his “priest- ly qualities,” they said, to the Vatican secretariat and the state consistorial congregation—in a word, to the Holy See itself. e Rome, Italy, has a new automobile which will run 47 miles on a gallon of gasoline.
