Alabama Warms Up to Violent Political Battle With Sen. Heflin In Storm Center of Democrats Critic of Catholics, Al- ready Read Out of Party and Running as Indepen- dent, Faces Hard Fight to Win Election. Mobile, Ala., April § (UP)—Ala- bama is rapidly warming up to one of the most violent political battles in its recent history, with Senator Thomas Heflin the Heflin, famed for his denunciation of the pope storm center. and for his bolting the | party in 1 to support Herbert Hoover against Alfred E. Smith, was read out of the party and barred from sceking the democratic nomi- nation to succeed himself by the| democratic st mittee, | Consequent running as an | independent, hoping to rally such| heavy support that he can establish himselt as the leading democrat of | Alabama. [ | e | Case in Supreme (mul pending > has as i | Heflin to the| y feel that committee a A suit now state supremc the restoration of democratic fold, but m the action of the state and subsequent events breach too wide to fill. Two candidates now opposc other on the democratic They are John H. Bankhead, tired, of Birmingham, brother Congressman W. . Bankhead Alabama, the first to file gainst | Heflin, and Frederick I. Thompson, | Mobile publisher, who entered the race after the state committee’s ac- tion. | Thompson announced that his | main reason for running was to that the primary did not go by d fault. He has capitalized the revel tions in the power investigations thus far his platform seems to be | directed chiefiy against the Ala- bama Power Co.. which in- terest to be reckoned with in this| state. He is refusing all requests| for campaign statements. i Heflin, with his usual militant | tactics, maintains he will “lick them | all to a frazzle.” { ‘Wanted Open Race | Bankhead, up to the time of the meeting of the state committee at| which Heflin was read out of the party, had insisted that he d the race to be an open onc, and welcomed all comers. Since the com- mittee’s action, however, he has not | reiterated his previous statements,| maintaining that the committee rep- resents the officlal will of the par! and it is not for him to speak after the committee has acted. | But in Birmingham there Thave| arisen those who feel differently on the subject, notably Horace Wilkin- son, attorney, through whose action the situation has gone into the dourts. He asked an injunction to mestrain officials of Jefferson couns. ty, in which Birmingham is located. from proceeding with the primary. His claim ivas that the state com- mittee’s action which barred as| ¢éandidates those who supported| Hoover for president, but welcomed them to the party as voters, ill gally set up one set of qualifica- tions for voters and another for candidates. This case is now before the state supreme court which considering briefs and is expected to make an early decision. Confusion Seems Probable ‘ It the court upholds Wilkinson's contention the whole situation will| Be thrown into confusion and the | committee will have to untangle it. Some think the answer womnld be to take the easy way out—namely readmit Heflin and his associates to the party with full rights as candi- dates and voters, and then let it all be thrashed out on election day. Others, who are more militant, be- lieve the logical course would be to bar as voters in the democratic primaries as well as candidates, those who supported Hoover. The facts of the case seem to that no one is certain just what | ought to be cone, and until the| dourt rules the campaign probably | | ‘ cach ticket. | of | of | is an is | from ¢ | ported | dition proceedings —_———— Fireman Stops Train; Engineer Found Dead Philadelphia, April § (P—Its enginecr dead on the floor of the cab, a Reading railroad locomo- tive, finishing its run from AMen- town to this city, was brought to a halt last night by the fireman.

It can dare to offer cultural and vocational sub- jects side by side, child study and home economics beside literature and philosophy. It should consider how to fit the modern woman for the economic, social and political opportunities which are hers, Dr. Blunt said. So far, however, its chief task has been to prepare its students for the professions—teach- ing, commercial art, music, etc. The location of Connecticut col- lege, on a hill overlooking the Thames river at New London, 1s ideal for beauty and healthful sport, and the students have an opportu- | hockey, riding | nity to enjoy tennis, and even rifie practice, Dr. Blunt only workers werce permitted in the fleld. | MAJ.
