\ y By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—A big ~ puibber band stretched taut across the map from South Carolina on “right” to California on the ‘*eft” symbolizes the Democratic

Party's plight as it emerges from primaries in those two states. In South Carolina, President ‘Roosevelt lost in his attempt to purge Senator Smith, whom he ‘sought to eliminate from the Senate on the ground that the Senator is unsympathetic with the New Deal’s objectives. ~~ The 74-year-old veteran will return here to take his place among Southern conservatives and other who are trying to check New Deal ~_tendéncies. ~~ It was a victory for the “right- ‘ fsts” in the party. : Pension Plan on Ballot

In California President Roosevelt ‘sought to save the elderly Senator ~ McAdoo and got, instead, Sheridan Downey, who ran for Lieutenan Governor in 1934 on Upton Sinclair’'s “EPIC” ticket and is now a full-fledged Townsendite and adwocate also of the newest and most fantastic California pension idea— the $30-every-Thursday movement, which has swept the State like wildfire and will go on the ballot gor a decision in November.

_ F. D. R. Believed Unperturbed

ese two elections in widely separated areas presage new dif‘ficulties for the President at the coming session of Congress, in ‘holding together a crazy-quilt pany and trying to steer it “a little to ‘the left of center.” But the unforeseen series of primary reverses leaves Mr. Roosevelt apparently unperturbed and un‘questionably determined on a fight ‘to the finish against proscribed conservative Democrats in New - York, Maryland and Georgia. The Smith type and the Downey type are not necessarily divergent ‘when it comes to social issues. For ‘some who are conservative on such problems are found with the “funny ‘money” champions, while some of the “funny money” people are conservative on New Deal objectives ‘and believe that the country’s ills ‘could be cured by monetary meas“ures without other reforms.

Both Groups Resentful

. Mr. Roosevelt has aroused the re‘sentment of both groups—by his ‘attempted “purge” of Senators ‘Smith, George and Tydings, and by ‘his recent condemnation of fancy . pension schemes, particularly the ‘$30-every-Thursday idea in California. Mr. Downey, of himself, is not

'n ~, +180 important. He may not even

.come to the Senate, but may be de- ~ feated by the Republican nominee. If he does come to the Senate he ‘is only one vote in a body not very “plentiful in Townsendites. ©" But his victory is a symbol of a ‘reinvigorated old-age pension wave, ‘which is rising in areas other than California, and which has aroused ‘concern in Washington because of. “the threat to the moderate old-age "pension law which Mr. Roosevelt ~ yegards as one of the keystones of his New Deal structure.

« » « Needs Both Arms

The Administration is ready to fight this scheme and all others of ‘the sort, as has been demonstrated not only by tre President but by “Chairman Arthur J. Alimeyer of the ‘Social Security. Board in a letter ‘to Senator McAdoo in which he said ‘the $30-Every-Thursday plan would fe employed person in the = $625 a year. Mnding strength to the pension | Ppments is the belief of some ‘bus conservatives that, because @'ihe increasing problem raised by Fé reluctance of industry to em£hloy older men and women, there is “Justification for higher pensions to spread purchasing - power through "this group as a measure of preserving economic equilibrium. 6 > 4 Mr. Roosevelt will need both arms as he goes into action with the next NCongress-— the right arm to fight the

WASHINGTON — Tydings claims Court ‘deal’ attempted. White House aids say proposal rejected. Secretary Ickes booms Lewis candidacy. : NEW YORK—O’Connor charges C. 1. 0., WPA opposition. ATLANTIC CITY—Green says party lines to be ignored. COLBMBIA, S. C.—Johnston ends silence on Smith victory.

SAN FRANCISCO-—MCcAdoo denounces pension plan again,

McAdoo Bitter, Predicts

Pension Plan ‘Ruin.’ SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1 (U. P.).—Senator McAdoo, defeated for renomination in Tuesday's Democratic primary, predicted today that the $30 weekly pension plan advocated by his successful opponent would “ruin California and defeat the Democratic Party if it advoctes it. ” Senator McAdoo, a 100 per cent New Dealer indorsed by President Roosevelt, was bitter over the victory of Sheridan Downey, also a “100 per cent” New Dealer. Senator McAdoo was soundly beaten. The latest tabulation, with only a few more than 2000 of the state’s 12,438 precincts unreported, gave: Downey, 401,693; McAdoo, 282,659.

Johnston Congratulates Smith, Pledges Aid

COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 1 (U. P.). —Governor Johnston, “100 per cent New Dealer” who tried to unseat the conservative Senator Smith with the backing of President Roosevelt in Tuesday’s primary, belatedly congratulated the winner today. “I will continue to uphold the Democratic Party and its fearless leader, Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his program of social and economic betterment,” he said.

0’Connor Charges Multiple Opposition

NEW YORK, Sept. 1 (U. P.)— Rep. John J. O'Connor, chairman of the House Rules Committee and candidate for nomination on both Democratic and Republican tickets in the Sept. 20 primary, charged today that Communists, the Workers’ Alliance, the C. I. O, the WPA, PWA, Federal Treasury Department and Mayor .F. H. LaGuardia were all in league against him. President Roosevelt denounced Rep. O'Connor several weeks ago. New Dealers are supporting James H. Fay, Rep. O’Connor’s Democratic opponent.

A. F. of L. Will Ignore

Party Lines, Green Says

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Sept. 1 (U. P.).—The American Federation of Labor will avoid isolating its voting strength into -any party where it can be defeated as a unit, its president, William Green, said today. He said the Federation would pick its candidates for their attitude toward labor, regardless of their party affiliation, because “the country is not yet ripe for a labor party.”

Ickes for Lewis, if He Could Vote in Maryland

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (U. P.).— Secretary of Interior Ickes entered the Maryland Senatorial fight today with a statement that he would vote for Rep. David J. Lewis if he were eligible to vote in Maryland. “I think that Congressman Lewis tries to represent the best interest of the people of the State of Maryland as opposed to special interests,” Mr. Ickes said.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (U. P). —Sources close to the White House said today that President Roose-

velt rejected suggestions that he|

attain his objectives in last year’s Supreme Court fight by obtaining retirement of justices. White House intimates presented their “inside story” of the fight after Senator Tydings (D. Md.) charged last night that New Deal Senators had proposed resignation of Chief Justice Hughes as a condition for acceptance of a compromise. Senator Tydings, conservative Democratic leader marked for political elimination by Mr. Roosevelt, made the charge during a campaign address. The White House sources, how=ever, said that President Roosevelt declared during the Court fight that he was not interested in personalities nor in trafiicking Judges.

Two Make Proposal

During the embittered Congressional struggle over proposed reorganization of the Supreme Court, the sources said, two members of Congress proposed a solution for the deadlock. The Congressmen—one & Senator, the other a Reptresentative—suggested to Mr. Roosevelt that his objectives might be accomp by creating vacancies on the Court or obtaining retirement of justices. Both were told, the White House intimates said ,that the President was not interested in trafficking in judges. Names of the two Congressmen were not divulged. It was indicated, however, that the Representative presented the proposal to Mr. Roosevelt personally while the Senator made the suggestion through a third party.

Logan ‘Never Heard of It’

Senator Logan (D. Ky.), an Administration Senator on the Senale Judiciary Committee which handled the Supreme Court bill, said he never had heard of Senator Tydings’ revelation about the Court fight. j In a campaign address for renomination, Senator Tydings said last night that he, as spokesman for Senators opposed to the President’s court bill, had turned down the proposal and that the death of Senate Leader Joe T. Robinson then precluded the necessity of the bill's opponents seeking a modified bill,

Told for First Time

Senator Tydings’ story of the demand for Chief Justice Hughes’ resignation never has been told before, he said. It occurred while the two Senate groups jockeyed for a compromise on the bill during the summer of 1937. He said the opposition bloc had been willing to accept a constitutional amendment or any plan for reorganization that would not apply to the sitting members of the Court. “We were willing, in short,” he said, “to adopt any democratic process for reorganizing the Court, beBovine that it should be reorganAs the designated spokesmen of the opposition, he said, he carried the compromise offer to Administration supporters.

‘I'm Playing Show Down’

“I ‘went to them and told them this,” he said. “They knew that Justice Sutherland intended to resign. That would give them two appointments to the Court. (Justice Willis Van Devanter already had resigned.) “They said they would accept our proposition if we would get one more member of the Court to retire, and the member they wanted to retire was Justice Hughes. “I was told the name of the man who could get Justice Hughes to retire. “I said I would have nothing to do with such a proposal. ‘I'm not playing poker, but show down’ I told them.”

Hitler Journeys

To Mountain Retreat

BERLIN, Sept. 1 (U. P.).—Fuehrer Adolf Hitler plans to summon the Reichstag to meet next ‘week during the annual Nazi Party congress,it was® reported tday in reliable quarters. Herr Hitler customarily makes his speeches on great events before the Reichstag where possible. He has not spoken publicly on the Czechoslovak situation since May 21. Informants who said that he intended to summon his Reichstag next wéek added that he intended to make an impartant political statement before it, and it was assumed that the statement would be a definition of German foreign policy. Before the Nazi Congress meets Monday, Herr Hitler is expected to confer with Sir Nevile Henderson, British Ambassador, and receive direct from him an outline of British policy in the Czechoslovak minority

‘dispute.

Herr Hitler arrived at his mountain -retreat outside of Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, where - he had reached some of the most important decisions of his dramatic career. It was reported that Sir Nevile Henderson -might be invited to Berchtesgaden to talk to Herr Hitler. Regardless of this possibility, it was evident that the Nazis were working up to climactic pitch as re'gards Czechoslovakia.

New ‘Incident’ Charged

Newspapers seized on an alleged frontier incident as a new affront against Germany. The official news agency alleged that two uniformed Czechs fired across the frontier at two German customs patrolmen near Oelsen in Saxony yesterday morning. It was added that the Germans took cover when a shot passed close to them, but that one of them saw the two Czechs. : The newspapers gave all possible

prominence to‘ their articles on the alleged incident, and though their

comment was restrained in comparison to their recent Czechoslovak editorials, it was vigorous

Washington Believes

Tension Is Lessened

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1'(U. P.).— Official circles today indicated belief that European war tension is easing and that the United States probably will not become, more actively involved in diplomatic efforts to end the German-Czech crisis. Reports from European capitals received here reflected a calmer atmosphere than during the last several days, with indications that the long-heralded “show down” between democracies and dictatorial powers would be postponed yet awhile. Easing of the tension appeared to postpone for the time being any pos-

‘sibility that President Roosevelt or

Secretary of State Hull would make any new public pronouncement of this Government’s position or prob. ‘able course of action.

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Sept. 1 (U. P.)—Russia was reported today to be constructing fortifications along a 15-mile strip of the Esthonlian frontier near the Luga River. According to the report, the Russians have set fire to a large forest section in order to clear the land. A smoke ball blanketed Esthonia and southern Finland.

Six mines were set off in the vicinity of Castuera, wrecking Rebel fortifications and causing heavy casualties,. the communique said.

position first appeared when another apartment owner and builder, called a meeting early last week of apartment ‘owners, “The other owner spoke against the Marcy Village development and I spoke for it,” Mr. Dawson said. “In the end the apartment owners

| decided not to take action.”

_ Mr. Shotwell said: - “The campaign to prevent the location of apartment and business blocks in the midst of an area having an established residential character by home owners constituting the. association had no relation to the opposition voiced by one of the apartment owners.”

Plan Vigorous Opposition

He added that the North Side group would oppose any apartment interest seeking to build such a project “with equal vigor.”

“The sole basis:-of our opposition is the safeguarding of a residential district already zoned against apartments and businesses or planted for sale with similar restrictions,” he said. : The association, he added, would have no objection to the project as such, provided it were not located in an established residential district. In a form letter sent to 2000 residents of the neighborhood, the association listed ‘as chief objections the possibilities that it would nullify zoning safeguards and rely on city facilities without paying city taxes.

All Subdivisions Zoned

Mr. Dawson termed these objections “ridicylous.” “The project couldn’t possibly affect existing zoning laws,” he said. “Every subdivision in the vicinity is zoned for residential property, except. where business districts are specified in the deed.” -He said that the objection to using city fire, police and school facilities without paying taxes was without foundation because “the land would have to be taken into the City by act of City Council before FHA would insure our mort-

gage. ? The proposed project would be built on land east of the Monon tracks and south of Kessler Blvd., on which Mr. Carson has taken an option, Mr. Dawson said. He said Frederick T. Holliday was trustee of the property. Replying to objections cited by the association,’ Mr. Dawson said: “The units would be equipped with

five heating boilers using coke. They

would be smokeless. Real Asset, Is Claim

“When this development is completed, it will be the showplace of Indianapolis. It will be an asset to the whole vicinity.” He said residents owning property east of the proposed project were “enthusiastic” over the idea. “We have determined that transportation to and from town will be excellent,” he said. The Marcy development, said to

‘be the largest private project ever

contemplated for Indianapolis, will cost an estimated $1,800,000, of which a $1,300,000 insured mortgage has been approved tentatively by the Federal Housing Administra-

MORGAN LISTS

TEACHING GOALS

Competence, Character and Citizenship Stressed by. School Head.

Competence, character and citle | zenship were set forth as definite goals for teaching by DeWitt S,~ Morgan, public schools superintende ent, y before the City’s 2000 teachers and principals-at the open ing of their two-day institute at the Tech High School gymnasium. “The best way to serve the ine dividual needs of children is to be certain that we have helped make them competent to meet the world as they find it,” My. Morgan said. “We must never forget that eco nomic prosperity and social stability, as well as individual success, depend on a competent population,” he said, Mr. Morgan also stressed the relae tion of achievement to character. “When we can help a boy to do something well,” he said, “we can cause him to hold his head a bit higher. It is then that we are mak=

» | ing our first approach to character

education.” Mr. Morgan added that “fundae mental emphasis just now must be upon instilling faith in democratic government instead of raising doubts about it. This is the time when America can well expect every teacher to do his duty.” Carl Wilde, School Board presie dent, who also spoke, said the pube lic schools’ teaching staff should continue to be left unhampered by personal and political considerations to do the work they have to do. He also said that “the excellent morale of the teachers has resulted from a system in which political and personal bias plays no part wherein assignments are made; according to fitness and promtion on the basis of merit.” Mr. Wilde stressed the importance of caution against subversive doce trines” in education. “While it is true that the future of our free American institutions depends upon our schools,” he said, “it is equally true that the future of our schools is dependent upon the continuance of our democratic syse tem of government.”
