Washington’s 8 Votes Hinge on Radicals Stevenson’s Victory May Aid Landon Materially. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. EATTLE, Wash, August 22— Since two-thirds of the popula- S tion of this State is in the western section, with Seattle and Tacoma as the focal points, in understanding of the drift here will .indicate whether President Roosevelt or Gov. Landon will win the eight electoral votes. " At the moment there is cropping out here a radi- calism, possibly not as acute as yet as that of Upton Snclair's movement in California, but 3 potentially as far- reaching in a legislative sense if it gains popular support. i The radical groups have all indorsed Presi- dent Roosevelt's candidacy and there is no likelihood of eny Lemke-Cough- lin strength in this State, though the Townsend movement does have an ap- preciable momentum. Still, out here, the Townsendites are splitting in party lines with respect to the presi- deacy about as they always did and concentrating more on congressional candidates. Control of the State Legislature has stimulated more campaign interest than the Landon-Roosevelt contest. In fact, the only chance Gov. Landon has of carrying this State is to benefit by the sharp lines of division that may come out of the State fight. If Gov. Martin, the present incumbent, is re- nominated by the Democratic primary and the Commonwealth Federation, which is a radical socialistic move- ment, decides to put su independent ticket in the field, it may mix up the situation somewhat, but will probably not hurt the Roosevelt chances. If, however, John C. Stevenson, a radical Democrat, wins out, the chances are that many thousands of Democratic votes will shift to the Republican nomi- nee, whoever might have been named, and then in the changing process there will be many who will vote the straight Republican ticket. Also, President Roosevelt's managers will then have to do some quick maneuvering to keep their national ticket from being hurt by association with the extreme radi- cals. David Lawrence, Two Schools of Thought. There are two points of view about this. There are some in the Roosevelt eamp who think that the radical movement is so big that it is more worthwhile to play along with it than to worry about Democratic defections. There are others who think Gov. Lan- don will surely carry the State if the fight on State issues become intense. My own impression is that while some of the elements of conservatism are stirred up about the situation, there is no sign of a crusade or a coalition of conservatives such as California developed when beating | Sinclair. The - ingredients are here, of course, for the same kind of a cam- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTOXN News Behind the News Fence Mending in South Pulls Roosevelt’s Personality Into_Carolina. BY PAUL MALLON. . UST what inspired President Roosevelt to plan a North Carolina speech at the start of the campaign is puzzling. Presidential candidates rarely tire themselves with trips to territories they consider safe. The official inside on it is that the President agreed to drop off there on his return home from the West solely out of the goodness of his heart to please Representative Doughton. But Mr. Doughton seems to be fairly well pleased as matters stand. His re-election is a foregone con- clusion, and the President’s heart, while big. has not been enlarged to the extent that he does useless things. S 1t is far more likely the Presi- ILLFIX This dent has heard what every well- o INAJIFFY. informed politician here has been told, namely, that there is some dissatisfaction in the South, and he is going down there to do a little fence mending and pep talking. Republicans have been gossiping enthusiastically about carrying Virginia and North Carolina for % some time. Col. Knox, the fighting vice presidential candidate, announced in Virginia the other night that he considered it a doubtful State. What started all this is something which has not yet broken in the news. Democratic Representatives, returning to their homes, found many of the leading citizens in some of their communities murmuring against the latest turn of the New Deal. The L. C.s grumbled about taies, spending, Tugwell and—what is it all com= ing to? However, most of the murmurers encountered here (first and second hand) were not sore enough to vote against Mr. Roosevelt. They were just displeased and thinking. ‘While these undercurrents have caused elation among the Republicans and slightly disconcerted the Democratic high command, the political effects are not yet evident. * kK x \ The Richmond Times-Dispatch, a newspaper of nationally recognized integrity, is conducting a poll to find out what it means in the State of Glass and Byrd. On August 20 the poll showed 85.8 per cent for Roosevelt. This was just about the President’s standing in the same poll Jast year. The Times-Dispatch, therefore, has concluded: “It is obvious that there has been no shift in the normally strong Democratic leanings of Virginians.” Similarly, in North Carolina, most Democratic authorities agree there is mot much Geubt about the State. A rather conservative State ticket has been set up to run with Roosevelt. Unless a lot of ticket splitting is done, the conmservative and liberal Democrats, therefore, may be registered in the same column. Townsendites appear to be losing their political sting. Their showing in recent primaries proves they are getting more words in the public prints than votes in the ballot boxes. Incomplete figures from some of the latest primaries: Wyoming—Republican Senator Carey, 21,247; Townsendite, 8,290, Idaho—Republican Senator Borah, 30.272; Townsendite, 9.885. Arkansas—Democratic Senator Robinson, 51,665, Townsendite, 12,679. Florida—Democratic Townsendite candidate for vacant Senate seat, 59,725; opponent, 52,434. ‘They won a few congressional primaries, but not enough to give them any hopes of formidable strength in either the House or Senate. In fact, the figures in these and earlier primaries, as a whole, indicate they will not be a major influence in the presidential race unless the vote is very, very close in a number of States. * x x % Father Coughlin said last Spring that he personally would see to it that the wrath of the voters de- scended upon Chairman John O’Connor of the House Rules Com- mittee. Well, O'Connor has been renominated, without opposition. As he comes from a heavily Democratic district, including much of New York's East Side, it is likely he will appear in the next House without a scar. Similarly, Reprcsentative Bell, the House investigator who started the Townsend organization break-up, was marked publicly Jfor certain slaughter by the Townsendites. He, too, was renominated without opposition in Misscuri the other day. If the politicians ever find out that Dr. Townsend and Father Coughlin have false teeth, nobody will listen to them. It is ultra secret, but the War Department has decided to rid itself gradually of the female influence. Precedence now is being given to men in selection of stenographers. Female stenogs have noticed promotion is increasingly difficult. The idea is to make the Army a strictly he-man organization from the top down. (Copyright, 1836,) . |are Protest Hints Berlin Acts For Rome Belligerency in Spanish Crisis Points to Collaboration. BY DOROTHY THOMPSON. HE announcement from Berlin that the Nazi government has instructed German ships to re- turn fire with fire is no contri- bution to the peace of the world. There are three questions involved: A legal question, a moral question, a political question. Legally, the Ger- man action is to say the least de- batable. In case of war, interna- tional law permits a belligerent to decree a blockade and control the seas off an en- emy coast if it can do so. The Madrid govern- ment has decreed such a blockade of the coast con- trolled by the rebels. Interna- tional law ex- tends this right to the high seas. * It includes the right of ‘“visit and search” to investigate possi- ble unneutral services being Derett T furnished a belligerent by other powers, Thus, if the Spanish insurrection is legally and technically a civil war, the Madrid government was within its rights in searching the German vessel. Neutral reports from Spaln have stated unequivocally that Ger- man naval officers have paid visits to the rebel leader, Gen. Franco, and that he has had tangible support from Germany in the form of airplanes. If these visits were a recognition of belligerency. then the Nazi protests totally unjustified, and their threats to fire upon Loyalist vessels is a breach of international law. If she has not recognized that the insur- gents are belligerents, then these visits are unjustified and inadmissible sup- port of revolutionary forces inside a friendly power. Germany's legal posi- tion is extremely weak. Moral Case Weaker. If Germany means her official pro- testations of neutrality, then her moral position is even weaker than her legal one. The time has passed when the world will condone the pro- | tection of a nation's amour propre, at the risk of setting off a world war. Early in August a Spanish rebel | the yacht of a British citizen, Capt. | Rupert Savile, off Gijon. This was not a case of “visit and search” under any possible rules of international warfare. And Capt. Savile was killed and his wife injured. But the British government did no propose returning fire against rebel cruisers and thus embroiling the na- \!lon in & war of incalculable dimen- sions. | On August T the American ship Excambion, carrying 120 passengers, |3 of them American refugees from Spain, was held up by a loyalist sub- marine, which sent a shot across her bows. The American vessel received a boarding party. Capt. Kuhne ex- cruiser fired on the Blue Shadow, | D. C, one time in the German foreign offices 300 amdavits describing assaults of Nazi Storm Troopers upen the na- tlonals of friendly powers. Russian, Polish, American, Austrian, Czecho- slovak and other citizens were knocked down, beaten and otherwise brutally assaulted. The German government's explanation was that unfortunate epi- sodes were bound to occur in the course of a revolution, although at the time the Nazis were in complete possession of the country and there was not a hint of civil rebellion against them. ‘We may take it that if, under all the circumstances, the German gov- ernment decides to return fire for fire, it does so in full realization of the possible political consequences of such action. It will mean first, that she is acting as Italy’s proxy in a situation in which Italy apparently hopes to gain new territory in the ‘Western Mediterranean. German-Italian Collaboration. ‘The announcement that Italy con- siders occupying the Balearic Islands, the fact thgj Italy has consulted Ger- many in the matter—and, as far as we know, no other power—and Ger- many's reply that she was disinter- ested in any change of the status quo in the islands; this, together with Italy’s and Germany's collabo- ration with the Spanish rebels, and the announcement on Friday that Italy had invited Germany. Austria, Hungary and the other central Euro- pean powers and no others, to par- ticipate in the forthcoming Italian war games, are all indications that a German-Italian collaboration is at the moment & fact. Very important, too, is the attitude taken by the .government-controlled German press in the matter of the search by the Loyalist cruiser. The press blames not Madrid, but Russia, insisting that the whole insurrection in Spain was engineered by Moscow. ‘This is a curious putting of the cart | before the horse. A left liberal but by no means Communist government was assaulted by a military and Fascist in- surrection. In the course of suppres- sing it, the Liberal government called on all anti-Fascist forces, and armed them. Amongst those forces are Com- munists and anarchists, who may, in- deed, prove, if the government wins, to have the real power. But that Moscow engineered this fracas, is to imply that the Soviets are lacking i | the rudiments of political sense, and there is no reason for thinking that. Moscow Stages Another Show. On the contrary, the weird and nightmarish political trial going on | in Moscow has very important inter- | national implications. That it is an- other cooked-up political demoastra- |tion, no one who reads the reports | carefully can doubt. Moscow would | not put on this show, at this moment, |except for a purpose. And the pur- | pose is clear. It is to discredit, in | Russia, and throughout the world, the | Trotskyist group, and to discredit |them as thoroughly as possible, by | smearing them with nihilism and | fascism. | Why does Moscow do this? Because the Trotskyists represcat the most ac- | tive forces in the international Com- | I munist movement. In Spain the| | Trotskyists have been the most active revolutionaries. The same is true in France. The Moscow government was | agaist the strikes following the in- stallation of the Popular Front, and | lately the official Communists have been joining with conservative forces |in France, in asking that the Front ! Populaire be converted into the “Front Francais,” with the collaboration of all men of good will.

BY JAY FRANKLIN. HILE John D). M. Hamilton has been beating the big bass drum of rugged Rerpublicanism, a sweeter note in the Landon sym- phony suggests that some daintier hand—can it be Bruce Barton's?—is clashing the symbols on behalf of the wistful little man from Topeka, Kan. A it was, therefore, nc surprise to students of the higher salesman- ship to learn that four dear old ladies, who took care of the infant Alfred (/C.ggs awper o shortly after his entry into this 7 (P 1awoen wicked world many years ago, were Lanper preparing to greet their little charge—now a big, full-grown man —on his visit to his Pennsylvania birthplace. The power that planted Calvin Coolidge in a smock by a Ver- mont hayrake is surely visible in this gesture to the cradle rockers and perambulator pushers of these United States. Landon was once, it now appears, a little baby. He had the chicken poz. He was an unruly little fellow. Where other candi- dates kiss babies, the Kansas Coolidge is himself the babe who is dandled before his fellow victims of practical biology. There is more in this thar meets the eye. The use of symbols in politics is an ancient art which is rapidly becoming a modern science. The Landon campaign is a mass of symbols prompting us to turn back. to go way, way oack—and sit down. And one can scarcely go further back than babyhood. i * x % x If there is something perennially appealing about the helplessness of a baby, can there rot be an even greater appeal in helplessness itself, in the urge to become a baby once more, to be born again, as it were, into a world where somebody else has to take care of you and where you do not even nave to go through the tortures of thought to have your wants attended to s soor as mother can find the time? Back, back, back! To an age when not even Black Friday, the Crime of '73, the Whisky Ring or the Credit Mobilier scandal could wreck the Republican party. Back to an age when the Supreme Court could be depended upon to count out the Democratic victor in a presidential election.* Back to the age of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Pinn—and of John D. Rockefeller and Jay Gould. Oh! to be back in those happy, carefree days, before the anti-trust laws or the Federal reserve, before socialism, communism or fascism, before we were a world power or had fought a world war. Back in the baby carriage, snug and warm, waiting for the next meal and sure it will come if you simply yell loud enough. That is the essence of the Republican campaign and it is heap big medicine for 1housands of people who never wanted to grow up or, for that matter, even to be born. Our political Peter Pans simply cry for it. To them it is obvious that the New Dealers have been robbing the cradle and upsetting the nursery by their clamor that our national babyhood is over and that it is time to go 1o school. School! Who wants to go to school? Who wants to study books instead of going fishing, bathing in the old swimming hole, or playing one o' .cat in the back lot? It’s an outrage to our national innocence to suggest that the time has come to pay a little less attention to robbing the cooky jar or hooking apples from the neighbor's orchard. and to give a little more heed to the three R's (recovery, reconstruction and relief). Darn old F. D. R. for ringing the school bell which reminds us that, sooner or later, we've got to grow up! The Landonites are gambling that enough of the American peo- ple still want to play hookey to keep school closed for four more years. * % k% Perhaps Landon—or whoever it is who speaks through the lips of the Governor of Kansas—is right. Perhaps we are not yet ready to take our seats in the hard school b of the twentieth century. Per- s haps we are really going to have one last childish fling before we settle down and act our age. Who knows? One thing does appear reasonably clear, however. The horse- and-buggy has ‘ailed as a Kepublican symbol in an age which takes traction from filling-ctations instead of livery stables. Something fundamentally infantile was needed to set the tone for the G. O. P. Bruce Barton—if it was he who turned the trick—has done it. For the political symbol of Alfred M. Landon is no longer the horse and buggy. It is now the baby buggy. *In the campaign of 1876 Samuel J Tilden. who obtained a plurality of 250.000 votes. was “counted oul by an electoral commission in which the balance of power was eaeicised by five justices of the Supreme Court.

Batista recently lashed | Senior Gomez with most intemperate | invective and invited him to start "wm!lhmg whenever he got ready. Daily news dispatches from Havana ‘remrt the increasing tensity between the President and the chief of stafl of the army. “But,” said my visitor, “Gomez comes as near having the backing of the United States Government as it possibly*could have without the State | Department getting out of bounds. He | also has the backing of United States investors who have big stakes in Cuba | Gomez is a man of great culture and splendid political education and Amer- ican business is behind him. Batista is a flery nationalist, pretty much in the picture of the modern dictator, and with a strong hold on the army and many of the Cuban people. There are the ingredients for trouble here, unless we exercise some shrewd and effective statesmanship.” Col. Batista, 5 feet 6 inches tall, | weighing 180 pounds, grim, swarthy and challenging, was cane-rustler, barber, ditchdigger, brakeman, soldier and stenographer. He is of Cuban, Chilena, Indian origin, with Mongo- loid features and bulging muscles. His father was a truck driver. He was born in Banas, Oriente Province, in 1901. It was in September, 1933, when Sergt. Batista ousted President Carlos Manuel De Cespedes and took com- mand of the army. He had been a | stenographer at staff headquarters.

Disaffected Democrats who do not like the State situation, say Mr. Roosevelt | will carry the State, but that he will | be lucky to get 50,000 majority. Landon Moves Underway. Republicans are depending on a ground swell for Landon which has put | in its appearance already. There's a | “pro-America” movement among | ‘women’s organizations that looks as if 1t might develop to be of benefit to Landon. Altogether, as matters stand today, Washington is in the Roosevelt column and it means an uphill fight for the Republicans to win it for Lan- dom which, unless the September | primary stirs things up materially, | means only an outside chance. So far as issues are concerned, the | mounting public debt is mentioned more often than anything else. Second in importance is a recurring discussion of scentralization of power, which in the far West means a growing ap- | prehension that if all authority is cen- | tered in the National Capital the States | which are farthest away will be neg- | lected. On the New Deal side of the argu- ment, stressed most is the radicalism | of Mr. Roosevelt. Labor groups are united behind him, while the business and professional classes are for the | most part just as strongly opposed. | Gov. Landon has not made a deep Impression as yet on the Northwest, | though it must be noted that Chair- man Hamilton had a rousing meeting | here—one of the largest political gath- | erings in many years, and the applause | for the Imndon sales talk that he gave was sharply punctuated and frequent. | That the Republicans are to some ex- | tent regaining their lost strength is apparent on every side, but they have & long distance to go to get control of the State again.

He declared many of the Roosevelt ad- ministration’s laws, “denied citizens . constitutional rights.” The former cabinet member de- . clared that during the past 3!2 years the United States had been “actually governed by a series of void and un- constitutional Federal statutes.” Mitchell said the New Dealers “ob- .

And now the show business steps out with an indorsement of the cam- paign of The Star to make the work of Washington's police officers more bearable in the blistering Summer heat with the aid of & “heat chaser.” The praise comes from a petite and beautiful singer, known to the show world and the radio audience from coast to coast only as Maxine. Here in Washington' with Phil Spitalny’s all-girl orchestra, Maxine caught a glimpse of The Star’s “heat chaser” truck from her dressing room at the Earle Theater as it cruised out E street on its daily mission of mercy for perspiring and thirsty policemen. Out of the dressing room she dashed and caught the truck just before a traffic light changed. Hope Batchel- ler, the “heat chaser” hostess, ex- plained the whole idea to her. “That's swell,” sald Maxine. “I would say The Star has undertaken a most commendable campaign, oae that not only this community, but every other city and State should adopt for the warm weather.

Everywhere she goes now, she declared, she would preach the “heat chaser” for police gospel in the hope that The Star’s plan would be adopted in other cities. “You can bet your bottom dollar,” she ex- claimed, “I'll make it & point to shout the praises of the ‘heat chaser.’” The “heat chaser” with its cargo of iced water and cold soft drinks will continue its service to Washing- ton’s policemen until the weather cools permanently.
