it open for any contest that might develop later,” he explained. “I did not want to go on record because unanimous approval might prevent a future contest of the new precincts.”

One Formal Protest

The only formal protest was from William Bosson, Republican County Commissioner-elect who: takes office next Jan. 1, replacing Mr.| Brown, Democrat, Mr, Bosson in a letter to the Commissioners three weeks ago charged Democrats with Gerrymandering. However, Republican party officlals made no formal protest to Commissioners. ' Neither did they approve. : Mr. Ayres denied reports: that County Republican Chairman James L. Bradford had sent Commissioners a letter approving the new precincts,

Boundaries of 63 Changed

“Mr. Bradford didn't approve or disapprove of the new boundaries so far as I know,” Mr. Ayres said. The new precincts’ which required changing boundaries of 69 old precincts ‘were drafted by William Flanary, chief voters registration clerk on the recommendation of Democratic party leaders. Wards in which new precincts were created included First, Second, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, TwentyFirst and Warren, Perry and Washington Townships. Mr. Ayres said that the only complaints received by Commissioners were from some committeemen out in Speedway City where they said several precincts were too large. It was indicated that Republican lead€rs may contest some of the boundaries later. z EE ———————————————————

ON NEUTRALIT

One Senator Fears Showdown Would Give Isolationists New Lease on Life.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (U. P).— A Senator who will attend the conference with President Roosevelt tomorrow to discuss repeal or modification of the Neutrality Act said today that he would advise the President to avoid a congressional showdown on the legislation. : Requesting that his name be withheld, this Senator said the President could follow the counsel of Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla.) and revoke proclamations which prevent American vessels from entering combat zones. A congressional battle over repeal of the Neutrality Act would give isolationist groups in this country a new lease on life, he said. He declared that they have been on

Repeal of the Neutrality Act, he said, would be interpreted by opponents of the Administration's

foreign policies as a clear mandate for war.

4 leaders generally believe the President could get a comfortable majority for even repeal of the act in the Senate but are doubtful about the prospects in the House. All agree that such a request would precipitate long and bitter debate. The White House conference on neutrality will take place tomorrow after Mr. Roosevelt's return from Hyde Park, N. Y. Most of the conferees will be Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate, indicating that the first legislative test will be there rather than in the House. Ed Chairman Tom Connally (D.
