WASHINGTON Sept. 29.--Regard-
loss Of talk to the contrary, the case
of Senator Newberry, of Michigan, will
not be reopened in the next Congress,
according to calculations ri Republi-
can leaders ia the Senate.
Results OF the Senatorial primaries
make it clear that nothing short of q
Democratic landslide will bring about
the reopening in serious fashion Of
the controversy ever the seating of
kcwberry as a Senator. Nothing, Of
course, can prevent recurrence Of dis
cussion Of the case at any time.
denomination Of Senator Freling
huysen in New Jersey has given great
comfort to the Newberry supporters.
In New Jersey a great issue was made
Of the fact that Senator Frslinghuysen
voted for Newberry, but this did not
prevent the nomination Of Freling-
huysen by an overwhelming vote. I'm
less Senator Frelislgbuysen should be
defeated by Governor Edwards, the
opponents of Newberry in the Senate
can gain no comfort out OF New Jer-
Sey.
Townsend Expected to Win
Senator Townsend, Of Michigan, who
voted fer Mewberry and VINO has been
henominated, faces hard fight for re-
election, but the belief Of his friends
here is that he will pull through. Re
teHtion OF Senator Townsend IN the
Senate will be an important factor so
far as Strengthening The NsWDerry
Ia =. al
Senator New, OF Indiana, has been
beaten for the nomination by former
Senator Albert J. Beeeridge. The
friends OF Mr. Bever;dge, however, say
he is not disposed to fight Newberry-
Newberry will lose one vote in North
Dakota, where Senator McCumber was
beatsn for denomination by Lynn j..
Frazier. It IS expected Frazier will be
elected. He 10 against Ncwberry.
In iowa Colonel Smith Broekhart, the
Republican nominee for the Senate to
fill the unexpissd term og Senator W.
S. Kenyon, who has gone TO the bench,
will make no difference in the New
berry or anti i-Ecwberry strength in the
Senate. Kenyon was against Newberry
and so is Broohha1t.
Calder Also Is Friendly
denomination OF Senator Calder in
New York also Is comforting to the
Newberry edherents.
The possibility exists that Senator
Reed, Of Missouri, isnptacabls Zoe of
Nswharry, will be beaten and that
Republican will succeed him. Senator
PorAerene, Of Ohio, another Democratic
leader who, fought Newberry to the
limit. is III g hard FIGHT for re-election
with Representative Feas, che Eepub-
lican Senatorial nominee.
Altogether, it is impossible TO sur
'yss the primary results without com
ing to the conclusion that the New
barry issue, SO far as the primaries
are concerned, has had lesa effect than
many expected at The time the Senate
voted to allow him TO keep his seat
Whether it will have more effect on the
election remains to be seen. 1t is con-
ceivsble that Demo cratic gains in a
number Of states where there are Sena-
torial contests might upset the calcu-
lations Of the Newberry supporters, but
few political observers here believe
there is reason to look>for a Demo
cratic landslide,
