Flour Dealer Wins Texas La Follette
Gubernatorial Nomination (Editorial, Page 10)
DALLAS, Tex.. July 25 (U. P).— Rep. Maury Maverick, leader of the House liberal bloc, was defeated for renomination today on the basis of complete returns from Saturday’s Democratic primary. That was one result of an unique primary campaign. Others were: W. Lee O’Daniel, a flour salesman who campaigned with a hillbilly band, won the gubernatorial nomination with a clear majority over his 11 opponents, which made a runoff primary unnecessary; Rep. Morgan Sanders, a veteran Congressman, was appar-
ently defeated; Rep. W. D. McFar- |
lane, who, with Rep. Maverick shared a1 indirect blessing from President Roosevelt, trailed his opponent, Paul J. any of San Antonio, Mr. Maverick’s ‘opponent, was supported by the San Antonio Democratic machine, which Mr. Maverick has always fought. Complete returns gave:
Rilday .....ccoeeeovsnvadi., 24,835 Maverick ......... Sines eer 24,287
Rep. Maverick said, when informed of the final tabulation, that he would not contest .the election. He said that he would take a “good two years’ rest and then be back up there.” “Lincoln got beat four times,” Mr. Maverick said cheerfully. “I guess I can take it once. I'll take a good two years’ rest and be back up there.” : * Mr. Sanders and Mr. McFarlane both appeared defeated, Mr. Sanders by Lindley Beckworth; Mr. McFarlane by Ed Gossett. Only a few votes remained to be counted; Sesming too few to change the reS ro } “My Good Friend”
President Roosevelt did not indorse either Mr. Maverick or Mr. McFarlane when he visited Texas recently. He referred to-them.sep-arately as “my good friend.” Mr. Kilday had said during his campaign that he would be no “rubber stamp” Congressman, but indorsed the New Deal. Mr. O’Daniel’s nearest opponent was Ernest O. Thompson, state railroad commissioner. The flour salesman had a majority of more than 17,000 votes over all opponents, - Ten of 21 incumbent Congressmen had no opposition. Among those without an opponent was Sam Rayburn, House Majority Leader. With the exception of Mr. Maverick, Mr. Sanders and Mr. McFarlane, the o‘ther incumbents were renominated. : The Democratic nomination in

Calls for New Liberal Party
SOUTH BEND, July 25 (U. P.).— Unemployment is the greatest problem facing America. today since the question of slavery, Governor La Follette of Wisconsin, leader of the National Progressive Party, told approximately 5000 persons attending the United Rubber Workers annual picnic here Saturday. Speaking before local No. 65 of the Mishawaka United Rubber Workers of America, Mr. La Follette advanced the theory that “the right use of the ballot to select a political party that is honest in facing the employment issue and possesses the power and responsibility to proceed and solve it is the solution to the future of our nation.” “It makes no difference whether that party be Democrat, Republican or a third party if the future of America is to be secure we must have a party which is not split with disunity,” he warned. : “Thirty of the $50,000,000,000 bank deposits are now held in the bank. In order to return a profit the money must be put into circulation.” “President Roosevelt through the WPA has instituted an excellent system of loosening up this money, but the drawback is he is only using it for relief, feeding people who would otherwise face starvation. Something more must be done,” Mr. La Follette said. “We need, recruited from the liberal groups of both present-day parties, a new party that can face the problems of today.”
F. D. R. Debt to McAdoo
Seen Paid .in Indorsement
By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 25.— President Roosevelt seems to have paid, in overflowing measure, his obligation to Senator McAdoo for the decisive act.at the 1932 Chicago convention which maneuvered California and Texas votes into the Roosevelt column at the crucial point, The President's indorsement at Los Angeles of Mr. McAdoo’s candidacy for renomination is generally regarded as clinching it for the 75-year-old Senator, according to a canvass of reaction in the week since. The primary is Aug. 30. The Roosevelt blessing apparently was needed. Certainly Mr. McAdoo and his friends worked hard enough to get it. Personally, Senator McAdoo seems to arouse no great fervor among the voters of California. But now he is Rooseevit’s ‘man, and there is ‘no mistaking the President's popularity in California. This was attested, not only in the welcome by the multitudes at San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, but by the consternation which his indorsement of Senator McAdoo spread among the sponsors of Sheridan Downey, the Townsendite, who is the Senator’s chief rival for the Democratic nomination. The Downey people greatly resent the President’s interference in the California primary. They point out, among other things, that their candidate was backing Mr. Roosevelt long before the 1932 convention. Mr. Downey, like Gomer Smith of Oklahoma, also did a little job

1936 by fighting a third party coalition independent ticket. : The President, as the Downey supporters knew, had no intention of ' indorsing an openly avowed Townsendite. But if he had kept hands off the California race, they think they could have given the Senator a real battle by arousing the potent Townsend following. Mr. Rosevelt is playing a bigger game in California than merely zepaying Senator McAdoo for the 1932 coup. : As elsewhere, he is looking to 1940. He counts on Mr. McAdoo to hold California’s 1940 convention delegation behind the New Deal.
Special Session Opens Battle in Pennsylvania
Times Special HARRISBURG, Pa. July "25. — Political history, state and national, is likely to be made by the special session of the Pennsylvania Legislature which meets here tonight. It marks the real opening of the 1938 election battle between Democrats and Republicans for control of the second largest state in, the union. It may have a pronounced effect on the 1940 Presidential campaign. er Democratic Governor Earle, who called the session, seeks to block or cripple a grand jury investigation of charges of graft, extortion and blackmail against himself and members of his administration. Thegrand jury is expected to begin its work here in two weeks, and the evidence is in the hands of a Republican district attorney. “Unless the Governor succeeds in this purpose, he and other important figures in the Administration and the Democratic Party face the probability of indictment during the election campaign. That would give the Republicans an advantage in their battle to regain - control of the state. ; The stakes are tremendous. They include the Governorship, a seat in the U. S. Senate, thirty-four seats in the national House of Representatives and half of the State Senate and all of the State House, both now heavily Democratic.

Material Production, Projects Offer Work
° WASHINGTON, July 25 (U. P.). —A report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed today that the Public Works Administration’s
$1,867,00,000 heavy construction program will provide the equivalent of full-time employment for about 600,000 men for two years. : The report was prepared for PWA to summarize the extent of its emergency program, authorized a month ago by President Roosevelt's signing of the multibillion dollar relief-recovery bill. Orders for materials to be placed with industry were estimated at $1,001,200,000. Prospect of these or“heavy” materials was credited by New Dealers with a substantial part of the recent stock market rise. The value of contracts, which local governments and Federal agencies will award with the help of $950,000,000 in PWA funds, was placed at $1,867,000,000, of which $883,470,700 already has been approved. Production of materials will provide work for an average of 364,000 men, working 172 hours a month until July 1940, in the forests, mines and factories, and in transportation, the Bureau estimated on the basis of figures for five years of PWA. At the construction sites of 6000 or 7000 projects an average of 229,000 men will be at work 111 hours a month and receive $515,600,000 in wages. :

WASHINGTON, July 25 (U. P.) — Harry L. Hopkins, WPA chief, today reiterated that findings resulting from his inquiry into charges of WPA political activity’ in Missouri would be made public probably late this week.

dinary American citizens, not to wealthy corporations. The seizures directly complained about date from years ago and are still continuing without redress. Mr. Hull can justly claim that we have shown patience. And, in offering arbitration under & method Mexico herself agreed to in 1929, he makes a generous concession to Latin-American susceptibilities. Behind .the news from Mexico that Secretary Hull's note has caused “surprise and disappointment” is a profound and long standing cleavage in Mexican public opinion, ~. President Cardenas, himself not a Communist, has nevertheless led the party of the National Revolution, of which he is now the absolute leader, a long way toward the practice of communist principles. On March 18 this year he expropriated by .the executive decree the properties of the foreign oil companies and permitted the 18,000 oil workers to seize the industry in the name of Mexico's “one big union,” the confederation of Mexican workers.
Unions Favor Truculent Reply :
The trade unionists, led by Vicente Lombardo Toledano, secretary general of the Confederation of Mexican Workers, and the armed agrarians in the rural centers favor a truculent and unyielding reply to the American note. : Yet since the first of the year the peso has dropped from 28 cents {9 21. The cost of living in Mexico is said to have risen by 35 per cent. A striking index, purchases from the United States, dropped from eight million dollars 4 month fo four mil lions between January and April
millions today. Mexican finances and frade ar: demoralized, and for the first time in. many years Mexico, a rich agricultural country, is importing food products, ! . These facts, together with the knewn friendliness of the United States to the program of Mexican reform, are likely to force a change of tactics on the Mexican Government which will at least stop for the present any more expropriation "of foreign property in Mexico without the money to pay for it. Mexico is proud, progressive and nationalistic, but broke. On: her debt of eight and one-half billion pesos scarcely any annual interest is now being paid. The question is whether. Cardenas can turn back and still remain master of Mexico.
He Speaks the Right Words
American business is partly to blamé for the fact that, in half a dozen other countries, the governments have staked their existence on seizing American property in the hope that Mr. Hull will recognize the mayhem that these American interests have committed abroad, and turn his official cheek as a good neighbor and a New Dealer.

Delay in the Marion County Grand Jury’s investigation of alleged primary. election irregularities was forecast today by Oscar Hagemeier, chief deputy prosecutor.

Hills district, City Engineer Hénry B. Steeg, said today. Between 250 and 300 homes ar: affected, Mr. Steeg said, and the sanitary sewer system for them must remain on an emergency . hookup with anotder sewer until the source of the water can be found and capped. © : Mr. Steeg said the source might be 50 feet deep and he could not estimate when the job would pe completed. ° The water flow was found after residents in the area complained that sewage was backing up into their cellars. Street Department employees dug through the street pavement last week and found a cavity below the pavement that was 20 feet in diameter and about five feet deep. It was filled with water which they at first supposed was sanitation water. . Hewever, Mr. Steeg found that the temperature of the water was 55 degrees whereas sanitation water would have been 80 degrees. It-was believed then that an Indianapolis Water Co. main had burst, but that was. found not to be true. In the process of determining it was not water to all affected homes was turned off.
