Washington, Aug. "a (AP)- A
week of activity of vast import to

day on a broad front.
Major addresses and primary voting
for national and State offices filled
the weeks political bill.
While President Roosevelt travelled

committee and staunch New Dealer,
seeks fourth term. He is opposed by
the combined forces of former Cover
nor Sennett Conner, who seeks his
seat, and Senator Bilbo.
In South Carolina, Senator Byrns,
another administration stalwart, is
opposed for denomination by Thomas
P. Stoney, former mayor of Charles

former Marine officer. Byrns cam
paigned on his record and that OF

The move was a long step toward
effecting a concrete neutrality pact

by the British. Italy already has &C
copied, with reservations.
AS for the slain French volunteers,
the rebels warned that others who
fight for Madrid may expect the same
