MUSE BOLT FAILS 10 WIN BACKING Move by Former State Sena- tor Against Roosevelt . Not Popular. This is the second of a series of articles on Virginia politics. BY WILL P. KENNEDY, 8tafl Correspondent ot The Star. PETERSBURG, Va., October 8.— Benjamin Muse of Dunedin, who res signed September 11 as State Senator, announcing that “with great sadness I cannot vote for the re-election of President Roosevelt. * * * I shall vote for Gov. Landon. * * * I hope many will follow my example,” has found out how it feels to be a martyr. Coming about the time that resent- ment against Roosevelt was as its peak in the Old Dominion, when the Jef- fersonian Democrats were laumching their campaign against the New Deal, the resignation and formal announce- ment by Senator Muse, who had been leader of the old age pension bloc in the Senate and generally supposed to be a supporter of the Roosevelt #ocial security program, startled the party leaders. It might be portent- ous, Fail to Follow. But it hasn't proved so—the many whom Senator Muse hoped might fol- low have apparently not seen fit to do so—in fact they have made him more or less of a political outcast, where he had been one of the most promising of the new-blood in Virginia politics. Muse, like the Jeffersonian Demo- erats. is not fichting his own party. | He will vote for Senator Glass and Representative Patrick H. Drewry for re-election to Congress. He is making no anti-Democratic speeches, no cam- paigning. He took the step himself “on principle” and to be square with his own co and in the| strength of h ons he made | public announcem of the fact— | and let it go at that. He believes | that the Democratic party should cut Joose from the New Deal. He be-| at the national headquarters in New York and a couple of days s week at his Washington headquarters. S. B. Barham, jr, of Surry Court House, who is clerk of the court, is chairman of the Democratic campaign in this locality and smiles at any sug- gestion of serious opposition. He very positively predicts a sweeping victory for the entire Democratic ticket. Stephen D. de Shazor is city chair- man for the Democrats and Edward A. Wyatt, jr, chairman for the Re- publican City Committee. - . KRAMER NAME URGED FOR NEXT HIGH SCHOOL Wheatley Parent-Teacher Associa- tion Would Honor Former First Assh ‘ant Superintendent. The Board of Education was asked by the Wheatley School Parent- Teacher Association last night to name the next new junior or senior high school for Dr. Stephen E. Kramer, former first. assistant superintendent of schools, who died last June after nearly 50 years service in the public schools of Washington. A resolution asking that the educa- tor be honored was adopted by the association and will be forwarded to the board. Dr. Kramer spent virtually all his life as a teacher or administrator in the District schools. At the time of his death, he was in charge of the teachers college, and the senior and junior high schools, & position now filled by two men. The P.-T. A. also indorsed Miss Esther Scott, head of the science department in the elementary schools, for appointment as head of the same department in the high schools. The action, however, was taken too late, for a few hours earlier the Board of | Education elected Dr. George M. Raw- lins, jr., to the position.

By the Associated Press. Declaring “American labor has held the front-line trench against com- munism,” George L. Berry, president of Labor’s Non-Partisan League, said in a radio talk last night that Sidney Hillman and David Dubinsky were “among the most valiant” in that de- fense. Dubinsky, president of the Interna- tional Ladies’ Garment Workers, and Hillman, president of the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers, have been described in some Republican state- ments as connected with movements in behalf of communism. A few hours earlier Berry had made an estimtae that his organization and its State afliations would spend $1,000,000 in effort to re-elect Presi- dent Roosevelt. In his radio speech, Berry said Gov. Alf M. Landon’s “spokesmen have said the President accepts Communist sup- port. * * * “They have especially sought to prove their silly charge by citing the presence of the names of Sidney Hill- man and David Dubinsky on the ballot of the American Labor party in New York as presidential electors. The American Labor party is the New York State affiliate of labor’s Non- Partisan League. * * * “One of the vital reasons why Mr. Hillman and Mr. Dubinsky support Roosevelt and oppose Landon is their clear understanding that the election of Landon would put the Nation in jeopardy of a really dangerous Com- munist movement, from which our own democracy might not survive. “The election of Landon would con- stitute such a plunge back into eco- nomic darkness that a reaction from reaction would be, in our opinion, in- evitable.” DUEL CHALLENGE STIRS AUSTRIANS Clash Between Starhemberg and Fey Adds to Po- litical Crisis. By tne Assoclated Press. VIENNA, October 8.—Austria's po- litical crisis assumed an ‘“opera bouffe” aspect today as a duel chal- lenge and slander suit threats shunted attention from a cabinet meeting. The ponderous machinery of an “honor court,” modern Austria’s com- promise with the romantic code duello, was set in motion to consider the challenge hurled by Maj. Emil Fey, “ousted” heimwehr leader, at Prince Ernst von Starhemberg, once co- dictator of Austria. Fight for Control. The challenge came as & climax to the bitter fight for control of the powerful Neimwehr (home guard) be- tween Starhemberg and Fey. Starhemberg charged Fey's conduct at the assassination of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss was “never satis- factorily explained.” Stung, the flery Fey demanded “a UPHOLSTERING Extra Chairs, o Including Labor and Material Standard Upholstering Co. 5 Met. 6282 Phone North 3800 WE DELIVER FRIED OYSTERS DELICIOUS—READY TO SERVE KINSLOW'’S DISTRICT 4132 D. C, statement in keeping with the tradi- tion of the Austrian army.” It he does not obtain his “vindi- cation” through the honor court, it was learned, Fey may seek it in a law court. His attorneys have pre- pared briefs for submission to Star- hemberg’s attorneys demanding re- Seconds of the two former vice chancellors of Austria met to start the work of the honor court, a group of officers called to settle disputes without, drawing blood. While Vienna was excited over the romantic aspects of a duel, sage heads expressed certainty the affair never would come to sabers or pistols, as duelling is illegal and the penal- ties severe. The cabinet was believed to be considering calling both Fey and Starhemberg to state their cases, and planning drastic action, even to the extent of disarming the entire heim- wehr organization.

San Salva- dor and Paris. Subsequently he saw extensive service in Panama, Colombia | and Montevideo. He was counselor for | the American delegation to the Pan- American Conference at Montevideo in December, 1933. He took his seat in the State Senate in 1936. In clearing himself of the rather general supposition that he had sup- ported the New Deal social security program Muse emphasized he had es- poused solely the old-age pension leg- | islation. He has been urged to spenki against the New Deal, but has been | carefully refraining from any further | injection of himself into the campaign. | In support of his decision to vote for | Landon, in view of his leadership in the old-age pension fight, he has pointed out that Republican States have gone further than Democratic States and that all the States that went Republican in the last election have old-age pensions, while all of the States that do not have old-age pen- sions are in the Democratic column. For Party Regularity. But—Mr. Muse has nevertheless been made to feel like a lonesome martyr—as one to be viewed with sus- picion by his fellow townsmen. This | 1s because of a very strong feeling for | party regularity throughout Virginia, probably more than in any other State. He had been out of the State so long on his diplomatic posts that he did not realize how intense this feeling is— | & sort of terrorism against daring to | think or vote contrary to strict Dem- | ocratic organization standards. This 1s an old situation, bred into the bones | of the Virginia Democracy. It is shown in the proposed investigation of some members of the City Council re- | ported to be supporting the anti-New Deal drive and the city attorney, who said he could not vote for Roosevelt and the New Deal, but could not bring himself to vote for the Republican can- didate. So while there may be many who | would like to follow the invitation of | Mr. Muse that they cast their votes with him in protest against the New Deal they seem to be afraid to say so. Folks in business, asked casually about the political trend, are extremely re- luctant to express any opinion. Just how strong a silent vote there may be against Roosevelt in Virginia is ex- tremely hard to gauge. Muse is indefinitely out of politics. | Gov. Peery has ordered a special elec- tion to be held November 3 to select & successor in the State Senate to Mr. Muse. Morton G. Goode of Dinwiddie County, where Muse also resides, is being urged as a candidate. Former Benator Robert Gilliam, jr., and Dele- gate I. M. Coleman are also mentioned. Representative Drewry of this city, chairman of the Domocratic Congres- sional Campaign Committee as suc- cessor to the late Speaker Joseph W.
