| 4 (U. P.).—Tension over the minori- | 3 | ties problem in Czechoslovakia in- | taken aboard the train and, if so,
creased today as the result of a new declaration made by Konrad Henlein, leader of the Sudeten German Party. Henlein told a mass meeting of
10,000 followers they must fight for |
their rights as a minority, after the Czechoslovak Government announced it had rejected the most important demands of the Sudeten Party. The German Party simultaneously announced it would refuse the proposals made by the Government for decentralization and local autonomy. German leaders said the plan for divisional setups would leave the Sudetens as a minority group.
Rebels Push Drive
For Seacoast Towns HENDAYE, July 4 (U, P).— Rebel troops advanced today through the Espadan Mountains, the last natural defenses of Sagunto and Valencia, in an effort to take those important seaports before the second anniversary of the Spanish War—July 17.

Francisco Franco were reported to have advanced 13 miles along a front extending from south of Teruel in the interior to a point near Bechi on the Mediterranean coast. The Rebels launched large-scale plane and tank attacks to support infantry assaults along the coast. Loyalists admitted heavy fighting was in progress near the towns of Tales and Bechi.

Senator O'Mahoney (D. 0.), toward whom the White House was feeling chilly, was in Chicago when he found he had not been invited to join the President's train in Cheyenne, his home town. Rushing across the prairies, he reached the Cheyenne station before the Presidential train pulled in and boldly boarded it. He rode on the train all day and told how much he had enjoyed being with the President. Chandler Is Problem
Governor Chandler of Kentucky, foe of Senator Barkley, says he is | going to get on Mr. Roosevelt's | train. He's Governor, after all, and | a Democratic one at that, so it will | be hard to edge him out. That, nat- | urally, will force the President to | come right out and ask for Senator | Barkley's re-election, in so many words. There's a problem in Ohio. The President is to attend the Northwest Territory celebration at Marietta, and Marietta is the home town of ex-Governor George White, who is trying to beat Senator Bulkley for the Democratic nomination. Word has come from Ohio that the Bulkley forces are not anxious to have the President speak right out, that it might complicate things. And in Oklahoma? The President wants Senator Thomas re-elected. But Mr. Thomas’ opponents, Gomer Smith and Governor Marland, are not inclined to be wall flowers. And what if Bill Murray, whom the Administration | forces like least of the handful running for Governor, should try to nuzzle into the picture? The crown becomes heavier when you wear it into the arena.

Spencer Begins Primary Election Probe Before Grand Jury Tomorrow
Requests Bar Association Head to Name Observers; Temporary Writ Checks Baker Investigation; Feeney Trails 289 in Recount Recess.
Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer is to start his investigation of alleged primary election irregularities before a new Grand Jury tomorrow. New grand jurors will be impaneled early tomorrow from a list of 100 names by Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker, who lost his fight for the right to conduct a vote probe with his own special prosecutors.
BROKE,” COMEDIAN TELLS HIS EX-WIFE
Langdon Awaits Ruling on Unpaid Alimony Charge.
HOLLYWOOD, July 4 (U. P).— Harry Langdon, the wistful-faced comedian, is “flat broke” today, he claims. Langdon is being sued by his former wife, Mrs. Helen Walton Langdon, for $2920 back alimony. He is supposed to pay her $25 a week. With his present wife and 3-year-old son, the comic came before Domestic Relations Commissioner Larry Doyle and testified he had earned $1090 since April of 1937. On Thursday the commissioner will decide whether the alimony arrears have placed Langdon in contempt of court.
DR. WISE RETIRES AS ZIONIST PRESIDENT
DETROIT, July 4 (U. P.).—Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York retired today as president of the Zionist Organization of America, a society which he helped found 40 years ago. Delivering his valedictory address, Dr. Wise said he was retiring because “there are many strong, effective younger men who should now take up the burden of leadership. Dr. Wise told 2000 delegates attending the organization's convention that the forthcoming conference in Evian, France, of the International Refugee Commission will be a “dismial failure” unless Great
Britain is prepared to open Palestine |
to mass immigration of Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria.
Judge Curtis W. Roll, Indiana Supreme Court chief justice, issued a temporary writ preventing Judge Baker from naming special prosecutors Saturday shortly after the Indiana Tax Board “held in abeyance” Judge Baker's request for a $15,000 probe fund. Chief Deputy Prosecutors Edward H. Knight and Oscar Hagemeier have been named by Prosecutor Spencer to take charge of the investigation.
Observers to Be Chosen
In addition, Mr. Spencer said he will ask Thomas D. Stevenson, In-
dianapolis Bar Association president, to name one or more members of the bar to act as observers “to see that a thorough and impartial investigation is had.” Judge Baker had charged that Mr. Spencer could not legally conduct the probe because one of his deputies was an election clerk “in a precinct where irregularities were shown.” The judge had named Fae W, Patrick and Harold Bachelder as special prosecutors. “I will suggest that Mr. Stevenson consider both of these men along with other such reputable lawyers for observers,” Mr. Spencer said.
Resume Recount Tomorrow
Meanwhile, recount commissioners who have reported hundreds of discrepancies in the ballots, will resume counting of votes in the Democratic Sheriff and Mayoralty races tomorrow after a recess since Friday. At the close of the counting Friday, Al Feeney, defeated for the Sheriff nomination, had gained a total of 1966 votes in 189 precincts, leaving only 289 more votes to be gained to overcome the 2255 lead given Charley Lutz, the winner by the Canvassing Board, Sheriff Ray continued to gain slightly on Reginald Sullivan, winner in the Mayor race, but the latter is still more than 14,000 ahead, with little chance for the Sheriff to overcome the lead.
BOTH PARTIES CLAIM FAITH OF JEFFERSON
Pepper Defends Economic Liberty, Hamilton Flays ‘Spoilsmen.’
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 4 (U. P.).—An ardent New Dealer and the Republican Party chairman
clashed today at the University of Virginia Institute of Public Affairs, each claiming that his party's political philosophy squared more nearly with the theories of Thomas Jefferson, father of independence. Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican National Committee, said the Republican Party “better exemplifies his political philosophy than any other organized group in this country.” Senator Pepper (D. Fla), warm exponent of the New Deal, told the 3000 delegates composed of the nation's leading minds, that the party founded by Jefferson “throughout all its long history, its varied and changing career, has . . . held steadfast to these sentiments of its origin.” Recalling the undeveloped: wilderness in Jefferson's day, Mr. Pepper said, “There was no great industrial prince who held the power of food, clothes, shelter, and happiness of a million fellow human beings.” “Everyone knows, of course, that JefTerson’s passion for liberty would no more compromise with economic despotism than with political despotism,” Senator Pepper asserted. The 1932 Democratic platform, “in words which Jefferson himself might have written,” Mr. Pepper said, “expressed its determination and its covenant to restore the American citizens as fully and completely as modern conditions would permit, the kind of liberty and freedom which Jefferson gave him in his day. Mr. Hamilton said the Democratic Party founded by Jefferson as the “Republicans,” abandoned its name “when it fell into the hands of political spoilsmen 100 years ago.” “Today the Democratic Party, again under the ' domination of usurpers, pays only lip-service to. the immortality of Jefferson-—it only professes . . . actually the New Deal Party now has abandoned fealty to the ever-lasting principles charted by Jefferson,” Mr. Hamilton charged.

PAGE 3 Movie Stars Stay Through 6 Bull Fights
TIJUANA, Mexico, July 4 (U. P.), —Americans thronged across the border today for a program of bull fights that few of them will have the hardiwood to sit through. At yesterday's program of six bull killings, Americans made up twothirds of the crowd. Half of them walked out after the first bull was killed with three or four strokes of the matador’'s sword, and hundreds more trailed out after each successive killing, The stadium was only half full when the last bull was dispatched. In the crowd were Myrna Loy, James Stewart, Martha Raye, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Margaret Sullavan, Nancy Carroll and many others from the Hollywood movie colony. Most of these stuck it out through the six killings.
Matadors Get $12,000
It was the first session of “bige time” bull-fighting in this resort in the northwest corner of Mexico. The matadors were paid $12,000 apiece for their day's work. They were Armillita Espinosa of Spain, rated one of the world's three best, and Alberto Balderas of Mexico City. Nine thousand persons jammed the wooden bowl when the gate was opened and the first bull thundered into the arena. The six bulls cost $250 each. They came from the ese pecially-bred fighting stock of the Piedras Negras ranch in Tlaxcala. Balderas and Espinosa alternated in the arena. They stood stock-still and drew the bulls past them in thundering charges that came so close the horn tips almost grazed the men. Americans Trail Out For the finale they dispatched each bull by sword, while the Mexi« cans roared “vivas” and the Amer=icans trailed out. It took three or four thrusts apiece to kill the first four bulls. The mata«< dors rose to heights for the last two, and scored one-thrust killings — calmly facing the bull's charge and aiming a sword blow over the horns. This is regarded the perfect ending from both the performer’s and spec= tators’ viewpoint, Afterwards Espinosa held court in his hotel, the Hollywood movie greats lining up to meet him. Today's program consisted of six more killings. Espinosa will alternate with another matador, Jesus Solore zano of Mexico City. The holiday brought 35,000 auto« mobiles across the line from the United States yesterday, and more were expected today.
