NORRIS IS CENTER OF
FIGHT

Lincoln. Neb., Aug. l2.-F,-Ne-
braskans decided between conserva-
tism and progressivism today In q
primary election that centered around
the veteran Senator George w. Nor
ris.
Norris, leader Of the Independent
group in the senate, not only was a
candidate for denomination on the
Republican ballot, but also he was the
main issue in one of the hottest pri-
mary campaigns this state has ever
seen.
Norris record of II years IN the
senate, his bolt to the Democratic
presidential nominee In 1923 and his
frequent jousts with administration
forces furnished campaign fodder for
both himself and his principal cppon-
ent, w. M. Stebbins. state treasurer.
Stebbins and his supporters In the
conservative administration group Of
the Republican party vigorously at
tackled Norris record as showing him
to be q poor Republican and a him
drance to the Hoover administration.
The gray haired senator DEFENDED his
record saying it proved him to be q
true representative Of his people and
not q tool Of New England Republic

Political leaders predict an nnusu-

OF DROUGHT DAMAGE
IS LAID BEFORE PRESIDENT
New Reports Show Crop Pros.
poets Cut Percent Since
the First Of July

Washington. Aug. 12.-tF-The
magnitude of the drought relief task
ahead was made increasingly evident
today by reports Of devastation pour
ing in upon President Hoover and the
officials preparing for the Thursday
conference of governors.
The drought to date, in the opinion
of the agricultural department crop
reporting board, has cut crop pros
poets seven per cent below the esti-
mates Of July /. and every rainless
day was said to be reducing eApecta-
tons of yield in many Of the vital
farm products.
Call Situation Alarming
The picture Of conditions presented
Mr. Hoover by relief agencies and an
endless stream OF, callers from the az
fected states was q mixed one. The
Red Cross represented conditions In
Kentucky and Virginia as alarming"
with disease and unemployment
threats apparent also in Illinois. Mis-
souri,, and other states.

tions Of the dry region was main

valley, Tennessee and the lower lake
region as well as in South Atlantic
states.
A full attendance was assured the
meeting of executives of the twelve
most seriously affected states with
President Hoover. at which a definite
organization is to be set up to handle
the work of tiding many farmers over
the lean winter season ahead An
other group, representing the farmers
themselves. has been summoned to
meet with the president on Friday.
Immediately following the governors
conference. At this session Samuel
H. Thompson, president Of the Amer

Huff. president Of the National Farm
ers Union and Louis J. Taber. master
Of the National Grange will discuss
their share Of the task.
The large part states and counties
are expected to play In the relief work
vas emphasized yesterday by Vice
Chairman Stone Of the farm board,
who pointed out that relief in the
form Of loans from his or other or
ganizations could be forthcoming
only to organized farmers.
The decline in crop prospects, was
attributed by the department Of agri-
culture In its monthly report. issued
yesterday, almost entirely to drought
and heat damage to feed crops Sup

generally unchanged.
Corn prospects declined nearly
seven per cent the smallest crop
since 1901 being forecast. Hay and
grain and sorghum crops, which to-

total acreage was expected to be the
smallest in more than ten years,

British SEND AID TO
BORDER; SITUATION
CONSIDERED SERIOUS
Partial Success Of Wild Afridi
Tribesmen May Harm
Prestige Of Whites

Bombay, India, Aug. IL. -R-
Strong reinforcements were sent today
to the general Peshawar area to be
used II necessary to combat Afridi
tribesmen who have been engaged In
an attack on that city.
An armored train. fully manned by
troops, left this morning for Rawal
Pindi, Punjab stronghold 80 miles
southeast of PeShawar, from where
they may be moved up Immediately
toward the city at the entrance to
Khyber pass, fortified by Great Brit
ain to keep barbarian invaders out
Of India.
The tribesmen so far have been
successful, at least. in practically
isolating the northwest frontier city.
All telegraph lines out Of Peshawar
were cut and the government at
Simla, summer capital, obtained Its
only information from 1t by means OF
wireless and airplanes.
Although YER this sparse informa-
ton was subjected to censorship 1t
was apparent that far more was at
stake than just the city's capture, or
its defense.
The Afridis. winning their fight,
could not hope to hold Peshawar,
which. indeed, would not be their
mode of warfare, but looting it, prob
ably would withdraw and retire into
the hills where pursuit would be al
most impossible
This development probably would
be less serious than the consequent
lowering of British prestige in a ter
ritory where 1t Is already being under
mined by q strong and determined ma
tionalist campaign.
The correspondent Of the London
Daily Mail learned the tribesmen dur
ing the last few days penetrated VII
lagos north. northeast. and south ana
southeast of Peshawar and had gone
far towards Nowshera, Is miles away.
British troops swept the plains for
them and tribesmen lost hundreds OF
men.

Washington. Aug. 12.-(P-The po-
litical fate of national figures hung in
the balance today as voters Of five
states chose party nominees for state
and federal offices.
The veteran Senator George w.
Norris Of Nebraska, faced two oppo-
nents for the Republican senatorial
nomination in q primary intensified
in interest by his detection from the
Republican ranks in 1928. to support
Alfred E. Smith. the Democratic pres
idential nominee.
In Arkansas, Senator Joe T. Robin
son, Democratic leader. and 1928 vice
presidential candidate, faced primary
opposition for the first time In IL
years.
The colorful j. Thomas Heflin. SEN
ator from Alabama, was forced to step
aside at today's primary by state
leaders, leaving the party's senatorial
contest in Alabama between John H.
Bankhead. of Jasper and Frederick l.
Thompson, Mobile publisher. Helm,
however. was urging the voters to stay
away from the polls today. He will
run against the Democratic winner as
an independent candidate in the No
vember elections.
In Oklahoma and Ohio. the Demo-
Gratis selected candidates to oppose
the Republican senatorial incumbents
w. B. Pine and Roscoe G. McCul-

smashed yesterday when this flie1
overshot the landing field in return

Air Field, near here, preparatory to
resuming a projected four-stop II .ght
from Tacoma. WASH, to Tokyo.
Eddie Brown, partner of Wark, was
not in the plane, having gone to Lad
ner Field by automobile with the ex-
pectation Of continuing the transpa-
cific flight as soon as the ship could
be made ready.
Wark's injuries originally were
thought to have been slight. A ply

revealed possible internal injuries.

The Pacific Era" was intended for
one Of the four planes built fol Ma
jor Pedro Zanni, Argentine filler, for
a round-the-world flight. 1t never
vas used. Major c. c. Osborne,
British aviator. found 1t stranded in
Halifax, N. s.. and purchased it in
tending to enter the Dole flight from
Oakland. Calf. to Hawaii In 1927.
Osborne drowned as he fell overheard
the boat bringing him from England
to Canada.
Major D. r. McLaren, Canadian
war ace, bought 1t for the Dole fight
but found it so hard to handle that
he did not master 1t in time to enter
the famous race.
Sir George Hubert wilkins obtained
an option on the plane for possible
use in his arctic explorations in 1927
but left it in a Seattle hangar.
Then Lieutenant James Brewster,
U. s. N, bought the plane. He also
experienced trouble in handling 1t.
Brewster invited E. E. Dildine, a
brother officer. to try it out and Dill
dine managed to land 1t only by
cracking it up.
Dave Logg, of Seattle, then pur-
chased it for Miss Ruth Rhodes who
planned an endurance flight. Miss
Rhodes was killed in a hunting acct
dent the day before her flight was to
have started.
Wark and Brown bought the plane
for q song. After much delay they
left Tacoma Sunday, but were forced
down at Lulu Island by clogged feed
lines.
