ownsend Candidates Losing in Kansas, Missouri; New Dealer Wins.
‘BY LYLE. C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—~Townsend Pension Plan candidates were faltering today in returns from Kansas and Missouri primaries and two congressional districts in Virginia provided tests of Solid South “sentiment on the soldiers’ bonus and the New Deal. . In Virginia’s third congressional district, David E. Satterfield conceded Democratic renomination to Rep. Andrew J, Montague, a member of Congress since 1913. Mr. Satterfield made Montague’s vote to:pay the bonus the principal issue of his campaign. Norman R. Hamilton, an enthusiastic advocate of New Deal methods, was nomhated for the House of Repr tatives in the second district over Colgate W. Darden, a member of Senator Harty P. Byrd's Virginia organization.
Neaw Deal Critic
‘Senator Byrd has been a frequent critic and opponent of New Deal legislation although he did not take a walk with the Alfred E. Smith conservatives who boycotted the Democratic national convention. The primary in Kansas, home state of Gov. Alf M. Landon, Ret publican . presidential nominee, promised by nightfall to offer some . indication of the relative Republican and Democratic - voting ' gtrength of a typical prairie stale this year: Early returns indicated the Republican primary poll. would exceed the - Democratic aggregate. Senator Arthur Capper was assurc#d renomination with more than half the precincts counted, and -Omar B. Ketchum had a safe lead in the Democratic contest for ‘nomination to the Senate. Townsendite Far Behind ; Judge Dempster O, Potts, Townsend candidate, who promised the Cleveland Townsend Club convention last month that he would be easily nominated in the Democratic primary, was far behind Mr. Ketchum’s total. William Schoen, a RepublicanTownsendite candidate for congres-
sional nomination in the Sixth Kansas District, was out of the
running. Rep. Frank Carlson had a four-to-one lead. But Thomas A. Ralston, ‘a Democratic-Townsendite, was leading a field of three in the ‘Seventh District. Thomas J. Pendergast's ~ Democratic candidate for nomina5 lon for Governor of Missouri got away to a long lead over William Hirth, a Columbia (Mo.) lawyer. Jesse W. Barrett. of St. Louis was . leading a field of three for Repub- ~ lican nomination. , ~ © Townsendites were most interested in Missouri's Fourth CongressJonal District, where C. E.. Hatfield sought Republican nomination. He was almost out of the running in 8 field of four. The Fourth is now ted by C. Jasper Bell, a Democrat, who was chairman of the ‘House committee which undertook to investigate the Townsend Pension Plan.

Jean said she left her husband in Michigan when he abused her. She hitch hiked to Indianapolis, she said, and her suitcase and $10 were stoJen by a truck driver who gave her a lift. She was cared for at the Theodora Home by the Travelers’ Aid Society.
BY TRISTRAM COFFIN The young man who takes his girl friend for a drive and parks along a little-used roadway is flirting with danger, night-riding police squads say. City and state police and deputy sheriffs making the rounds from midnight until dawn save many a careless couple from possible robbery and attack. “These roadside swains can get mighty sore when we tell them to move on, but they can’t seem to realize we are only protecting them,” one police officer said. Explaining the tactics of hoodums who prey on romantic couples, police say these robbers lie in wait for summer spooners at deserted spots. Money, Jewels Stolen
Suddenly the couple will be blinded by the glare of a flashlight. Their money and their jewelry will be seized from them before they recover from shock and fright. Police say that many of these night-time robberies are never reported to authorities. . When they are reported, generally the description of the robbers is too vague to be of any real value. “Some people get the mistaken idea that.fhe officer. is -jusi-irying to be tough and that he isn't romantic himself when he interrupts | ‘a kiss,” an officer said. “I give them good advice by tell ing the couples that the safest place for them is on their own front porch or parlor. The moon looks just as good from the swing as it does on a side road.” Diplomatic deputy sheriffs warn the couples and then suggest a safe place where there is protection from prowlers.
Street Gambling Popular
Another minor annoyance in the routine of the night squads are the midnight gamblers who cluster under a street light to pitch pennies or shoot dice.
