TERROR GRIPS SENATORS AS LEADERS FALL Handwriting on Wall Seen in Defeats of Grundy, Simmons and Deneen. TARIFF SPECTER RISES North Carolina Repudiates Democrat Chief Who Fought Al Smith. BY TAUL R. MALLON United Pres* Staff *'orre*pondeitt WASHINGTON, June 9.—Frequency wit;, which senatorial leaders are being deleated in primary elections is causing something akin to consternation in the senate as that body nears a final vote on the fcmoot-Hawley tariff bill. There is wonder in the minds of some senators as to whether there is any connection between the electoral uprisings which have brought successsive defeats to Senator Charles o. Deneen tßep., 111.), Joseph R. Grundy (Rep., Pa.), dnd now Furnifold Simmons (Dem., N. C.). The overwhelming defeat of Simmons, who strenuously opposed Governor Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presidential nominee in 1928. was interpreted here as indicating a strengthening of the oldline southe’n Democratic party. Issues Are Unrelated

It was recalled that Virginia Democrats last summer defeated the gubernatorial candidate of the anti-Smith forces and that Senator J. Thomas Heflin, another Smith opponent, was barred from the democratic ticket in Alabama. Simmons’ defeat was all the more marked because of the 111,011 majority which he rolled up in the 1924 elections against his Republican opponent, indicating solid support of the Democratic party. While senators know the issues in the widely separated communities were unrelated, they are asking themselves if there is a general unrest and dissatisfaction among the people. Their history teaches them it has not been unusual for an aroused electorate to turn its leaders out indiscriminately while a satisfied electorate tends to support the existing order. Eagerness for Action Another enigma is that while senators are being mowed down, members of the house are being renominated with comparative ease. With the primaries only begun and many other congressmen yet to face their constituents, there is further eagerness among senators to get the tariff and London treaty out of the way so the repairing of broken fences back home can fce undertaken speedily. Recent political happenings may have no obvious connection with the tariff to the outsider, but they have to senators who feel their political future in coming primaries may be bound up in the tariff vote.

Little Week-End Change Little change was noted over the week-end in the close vote lineup. Some opponents of the bill were inclined to agree with the administration leaders that the measure will pass by a two-vote margin and in all events by the vote of VicePresident Curtis in a case of a tie. Curtis has not indicated how he will vote. An informal poll showed a 4§-46 tie with four senators doubtful. The ballot is expected to be taken Thursday or Friday. Simmons Is Defeated BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY Unit'd Pres* Staff Correspondent RALEIGH, N. C.. .June 9.—North Carolina today locked forward to another spirited campaign leading to the general election in November. At that time Democrats and Republicans will test strength for the first time since 1928, when Herbert Hoover won the state and broke the solid south. The test will come with Josiah W. W. Bailey leading the Democratic forces as their candidate for United States senator. George Pritchard, whose father thirty years ago served the state in the senate, apparently is the Republican choice. Thus far. with about 8.000 Republican votes counted. Pritchard has a lead cf approximately 1,900 over George Butler, his nearest competitor. Irving Tucker is third and the Rev. Grady Dorsett fourth. Bailey s defeat of Senator Simmons was decisive. Returns from 1.536 of the state’s 1,806 precincts thus far reported give Bailey a plurality of 63.983. His vote at this stage of the count is 185.980 against 121.997 for Simmons. Estep, wet, polled less than 2.000 votes.

NAVAL TREATY FOES IN FIGHT TO DELAY VOTE Senate Committee Meets Today to Act on When to Report Bill. JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 9.—The senate foreign relations committee was called in executive session today to determine when it will report the London naval treaty to the senate for ratification. Meanwhile, treaty opponents were circulating a round-robin designed to delay a vote until after the November elections, and Senator Johnson (Rep., Cal.), one of the opposition leaders, delivered a general blast against the instrument. Chairman Borah of foreign relations committee hopes to be able to report the treaty to the senate Saturday, though indications of a bitter fight to prevent consideration of the instrument at this session were increasing early today. Senators would vouchsafe little information about the round-robin, as to either its exact contents or signers. It was learned, however, that at least two anti-treaty senators, McKellar (D*m., Tenn.) and Oddie (Rep., Nev.) have signed it.

DIVES 60 FEET TOJND LIFE Identity of Suicide Still Is Unknown. Identity of a man, from 30 to 35 years old, who climbed to the top of a sixty-foot high-tension electric wire tower between Meridian and East streets on South Hanna street Saturday night and leaped to his death, had not been established by Coroner C. H. Keever today. The man came into contact with a wire and fell. His body touched a wire carrying 66,000 volts of electricity. ‘ In an apparent attempt to hide identity, he did not have any papers on his person and labels had been cut from his clothing. His belt buckle, with the letter “D,” is the sole identifying mark found. Near the tower investigators today found a small fire in which they believe the suicide burned papers that might have identified him, before he leaped to his death. Linemen said he did not receive the full force of the high tension wire, which they declared would have blown the body to bits.

Daniel Jr., and Edward announced they would go back to work after resting up from the arduous work of collecting their prize money.

DEMOCRATS TO GET PACT PLEA Ludlow Asks Convention to Indorse Navy Treaty. Democrats meeting in state convention here Tuesday are urged by Louis Ludlow, Seventh district representative to indorse the London naval treaty, which the Republican state convention ignored. Ludlow s recommendation is contained in a letter sent to Meredith Nicholson, author and Seventh district Democratic chairman. “I have no desire to participate in the differences between the two United States senators from Indiana, both of whom are my personal friends and I hold no brief one as against the other, but in this matter Senator Watson, in my opinion is everlastingly right and it is regrettable indeed that the resolution he sent the Republican state convention was pigeon-holed,” Ludlow wrote. He assert* that the naval treaty is divested of all party and partisan complexities and that Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic nominee for Vice-President in 1923, was one of the American delegates who negotiated the treaty and is an ardent adoveate of ratification.

STATE FACES PERIL OF HUGE TAX LEVY TILT Possibility of 68-Cent Rate Rises, With Increase in School Impost. MEETING ON JUNE 19 Equalizing of Educational Opportunity Is Aim of Advocates. Possibility of a 68-cent state tax rate < highest in history) loomed today as plans for the joint meeting of the state aid and tax survey committees were announced. The meeting is scheduled for the senate chamber at the statehouse June 19. Saturday the state aid committee discussed plans which would increase the present state school levy of 7 cents to from 24 to 46 cents. Would Reach 68 Cents

With the present state rate of 29 cents (which includes the 7-cent school levy>, added to the 46-cent plan, the total state rate would be 68 cents on each SIOO worth of taxable property in the entire state. The high state rate idea follows from the plan for the distribution of state funds for the purpose of equalizing educational opportunity in Indiana as presented to the commit-’ tee by Director J. W. Jones of the research division of the Indiana State Teachers college and R. W. Holmstedt, assistant professor education at Indiana university. With co-operation of the department of public instruction and Roy P. Wisehart, state superintendent, data w r as gathered from all schools of the state and a standardized “teaching unit” plan worked out. Lifts School Burden It is on the basis of this teaching unit that the state levy would be lifted to finance common school education on a state-wide, rather than local, plan. The state levy increase would be expected to be made up to the taxpayer by lifting the local school tax burden. A step-rate plan of financing is proposed with the state furnishing $11,961,342 the first biennium. $15,399,186 the second, and $19,284,456 the third. The fourth and succeeding bienniums would require $23,223,5911 plus such additional amounts each year as would result from an increased number of teaching units. The local equalization rate to finance the teaching unit standardized program has been set by the surveyors at 35 cents. This can bu added to by local rate increases, where more than the minimum requirements are demanded by the community. Maximum additions of 98, 92, 84 and 76 cents are set out for the four periods. The state rate during this time would be 24, 30, 38 and 46 cents under the plan. In each instance the grand total of local equalization rate, additions and state rates would reach $1.57.
