SPLIT-UP SEEN
IN RANKS OF
DEMOCRATS

While the Democrats throughout
the Eighth Virginia Congressional
district were specializing just who,
If anyone, would oppose Represent
ative Howard w. Smith in the
Democratic primary this August,
Republicans in the same area have
virtually decided to offer the nomi-
nation to the same man who made
the fight against Representative
Smith in 1934-John Locke Green,
Arlington county attorney.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Representative Smith has had no
opposition in the Democratic pri-
maries since he first received the
nomination back in 1880 over a
field of several other prominent
Democratic leaders Of Northern
Virginia, Republicans throughout
the district feel that the incum-
bent would be the weakest man for
them to fight.
Now Is the Time
Recalling that Smith voters have
fallen off in the last two elections,
Republican leaders contend that
now, since the New Deal has
proved unpopular in many Sec
tions Of Virginia, is the time to
grab the Eighth district seat.
Nomination Of the Republican
standardbearer for this district,
which includes Is counties and the
cities of Alexandria and Char
lottesville, will be made at the dis
trict convention to be held in Gull
peper, April 2. The same conven-
tion will also elect delegates to the
national convention in Cleveland
In June.
Although no other Democrat
has announced himself for the seat
now held by Howard Smith, half
dozen prominent Democrats have
been mentioned as candidates for
the primary in August.
To Pick Candidate
RumorS coming from high poll
tical circles in the Democratic
ranks declare that those consider
ing the primary race against the
incumbent have planned to- meet
together and select one candidate
for the field, with the remaining
number pledging support.
Among those mentioned are Will
bur Hall, chairman of the State
conservation commission; State
Supreme Court Justice George L.
Browning, of Orange, Va; State
Senator John w. Rust, of Fair
fax county; Charles Henry Smith,
Of Alexandria, and Thomas B.
GlaSScock, State senator from
Fauquier county.
Opponents Of Representative
Smith in his own party-those
planning to fight him in the Demo
cratic primary in AuguSt-contend
that his following has been greatly
weakened by several incidents in
which he "bucked the machine
organizations Of the State and Of
various divisions of the Eighth
district.
Cite His Acts
He opposed the machine candi
date, George c. Peery, for governor
and threw his support behind his
brother, Worth Smith, for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
tion. In local politics, his most DAM
aging act is said to have been when
he refused to appoint Charles c..
Carlin, jr., Alexandria publisher, to
the postmastership of that city.
Mr.. Carlin is the son of Former
Representative Charles c. Carlin,
who aided in the campaign of
Howard Smith in his initial fight
for Congress.

 New York, Nov. 3.--(UP)-Suc- cess of the budget balancing and tax plans of the next administration hinged today on the outcome of con- tests for seats in the house of repre- sentatives. All but three of the 435 seats in the house were involved in the national election. Democrats now hold two to one control. The three seats not involved today went to Maine republican nominees in the September election. Next to the pres- idential election the major signifi- canoe of todays balloting centered in the fight for control of the house. Ii that branch of the national legis- lature all rev 1ue and appropriation legislation must originate. The hands of the next chief executive will be strongly tied unless his party has working majority in the lower cham Der.
 Faced with the necessity of gain ing ii5 seats to wrest control from the democrats. republican leaders asserted that their chances were good. Democratic leaders predicted they would hold their present strength. 4 gain of from % to 60 seats by republican, was looked for privately by some democratic lead- CTS. Thirty-seven democratic house nominees in the sout were assured of election due to no opposition. But only one republican. house minority whip Harry Enelebrieht.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 3-Beneflts received by the worker under the social security act will always be more than he has paid in, accord- ing to a statement issued today by John Pearson, New England region- al director for the social security board. His statement was as fol- lows:
 "For t'.e man of thirty-five, earn ing $i00 a month, the contributions over thirty years time amount to $900," MT. Pearson said. If this man then lives out his normal life expectancy, his benefits will amount to 5000, or more than six times what he pays.
