village storks wandering around, and

joyed a sprint on the training track.

TEXAS DEMOCRATIC

Deal-State Issues Are
Paramount.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, July 25.-Texans
gave their answers today to one Of the
quietest Democratic primary cam
paigns in years.
Two years ago more than million
votes were cast in the first primary.
From the amount of absentee balloting
and the apparent apathy of eligible
voters it appeared today's vote would
not approach that figure.
In the gubernatorial race. personali-
ties and purely State issues stood out.
The question Of the New Deal did not
figure because all five candidates were
for it.
The four opponents of Gov. James
v. Alfred made much of his admins
tration of old age assistance. They
questioned whether his Interpretation
of the pensions law extended to
enough aged persons and whether the
liquor tax was the proper and ade-
quate source of pension revenue.
The Governors answer was that
$4,000 aged needy are on the rolls and
that 10000 will be listed by August /.
He admitted the law was imperfect u
but said he followed the explicit in
structions of the Legislature.
Allred's opponents were F. w.
Fischer, Tyler attorney; State Senator
Roy Sanderford, Pierce Brooks of
Dallas and Tom F. Hunter, Wichita
Falls oil man.

Confederate" of the mobsters. He
referred to Bottoms testimony that
in one instance Brown informed Pei
fer of police movements in the kid
naping investigation and that Peifer
relayed the word to the gang.

PETER was the first to stand trial.

certain suffocation during four hours
of Imprisonment at the bottom Of a

within a few inches of his face when
they removed the last of ton and a
half of dirt and rock.
Coming to the surface. Laird was
surprised at the crowd of rescuers and
spectators.
"How long was I in there?" he
asked them as they placed him on a
stretcher. 1T felt like only an hour
I could hear you digging for me all

good"
Doctors said he was virtually un-
hurt, aside from exhaustion.

Vatican Seeks 10 Quiet Speculation
Awaiting Arrival of Bishop.

Awaiting Arrival of Bishop.
VATICAN CITY, July Is (R.-Prel-
ates sought to quiet speculation today
on the outcome of the controversy in
the Vatican over the entrance of Rev.
Father Charles E. Coughlin into
United States politics.
Church dignitaries admitted, how
ever, the visit of Bishop Michael
Gallagher of Detroit to Pope Plus
would undoubtedly clarity the radio
priests standing with the Holy See.
Bishop Gallagher was scheduled to
arrive today in Naples on his way
here.
Doubt was expressed, however, that
such clarification would become public
Immediately, because, prelates said,
the nature of the controversy and the
character of the men deciding it
augured for secrecy and tactful
handling.
Vatican sources said aging Bishop
Gallagher had been carrying the
whole burden of the Detroit diocese
since November. 1885, when Auxiliary
Bishop Joseph c. Plagens was trans
ferred, they conceived it entirely pos
sible the Detroit bishop might be
coming to Rome to discuss the ap-
pointment of new auxiliary bishop.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 25 P.-The
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin declared here
today that the visit of Bishop Michael

with my activities in the Roosevelt
case"
II am very happy that Bishop Gal
lagher should take the viewpoint he

Sees Lehman's Defeat.
Turning to State and national poll

H. Lehman of New York would be de-

thrown into Congress because of the
splitting of the electoral vote.
Father Coughlin is one of the back
