 Berlin, Sept. 28 = (UP)- The Nazi peoples court today sentenced Lawrence Simpson of Seattle, to three years imprisonment on charges of reasonable activities against the Reich in connection with the sailors communistic ac- tivities.
 Simpson, who confessed the communist activities on the stand during his sensational trial this morning, will be given credit for IA of the IS months he already has spent in prison pending trial.
 Espionage Not Sustained
 The prosecutor told the court that the charge of espionage against Simpson was not sustained by the evidence, concentrating on the sail- or's communist connections.
 Simpsons attorney, Werner Am- thor, had asked the court to give the American a maximum sentence of one year in prison on the treason charge and throw out the espionage charge altogether.
 Not Initiator
 Anthor in defense of the sailor, stressed that he was not the initia- tor of any attempt to distribute communistic literature in Germany before May 1, 1885. He said a heavier sentence would be justified if 1t could be proved the communist party in America or some other prominent communistic organization were link ed with the small group at Hamburg with which Simpson was charged with dealing.
 Amthor said Simpson had had a chance to become ships officer but economic circumstances forced him to remain a sailor, adding: "One could rnderstand 3 certain bitter ness axisingH

Under the general statutes the registrar of any political party may cite for a hearing before himself and the chairman of the town com nlittee of his party any person on the party's enrolment list who, he believes, does not intend to support the principles or candidates of the party. If this belief of the registrar is supported at the hearing the name of the voter cited in may be erased from the party rolls.
 No Formal Move
 Inquiry today by The Democrat led to the information that while the town chairmen of the two local major parties have not conferred with the registrars of voters there are members in the rank and file of both organizations who have claimed that their loyalty is being Haunted while signers of the union party petitions are allowed to have their names retained on the primary lists of the two organizations.
 While the mere act of signing a union party petition may not be taken to indicate 8 voter has aban- doned his party, it may be used as evidence on which to cite him in for a hearing. Those familiar with the statutes claim that they are clear with respect to the removal from the primary list of one who is a candidate for office on the ticket of another party. Therefore, for in- stance, Floyd Rasmussen, regis tered republican, apparently could be removed from the g. o. p. roll, be- cause he is now running for the senate in the 18th district on the union party ticket.
 Registrars Silent
 The local registrars are silent as to any possible action which they may initiate as a result of many registered republicans and demo- crats signing the union party petitions of Lemke. Puckey, O'Neill, Rasmussen and Overton.
 The next primaries of the 1.-two major parties here will not take place until a year from now when candidates for the city offices on both tickets will be chosen. If the republican ranks are split at that time or if the democrats are faced with internal friction it is likely that they will exert the rights grant, ed them under the statutes and cite in the union party petition signers who are registered repub- licans and democrats. Similar ac- tion may be taken against those who last year signed the indepen- dent democratic petition here. plac- ing the Connor mayoralty ticket on the voting machines.

 Oregon, Ill, Sept. 28-(UP) Governor Ali M. Landon turned homeward today from his first call1-l paign tour of the farm belt, cheered by the reception given his agricul- tural speeches and by the crowds that greeted him in the heart cf progressive party territory.
 The republican presidential n0m- inee, swinging into final series ok rear-platform appearances in Illi- nois, Iowa and Missouri en route to Topeka, was understood to consider his fve-state journey, especially in Wisconsin, more of success than he had expected from the viewpoint of crowds that greeted his train.
 Governor Landon's proposal to spend two days campaigning through the state dominated by the LaFollette organization, friendly to president Roosevelt, had been frowned upon by some of his ad- visers, but the Kansas governor in sisted.
 By the time he arrived at the Sinissippi farms to spend Sunday as the guest of former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, the republic can nominee was described as con- fldent that the tour had aided the party's drive in states where most political veterans forecast 8 close vote in November.
 Particularly impressive in Gov- ernor Landon's eyes were the crowds that clustered around the rear plat~ form of his train-sometimes In q drizzle of rain-to hear him speak at a dozen stops in Wisconsin Fri~ day and Saturday.

 1000 Homeless

Marshfield, Ore, Sept. 28-(UP)- Forest fires ragged uncontrolled on scattered fronts in southwestern Oregon today. Already two towns have been razed, eight persons killed and 2,O00 persons left homeless.
 Relief workers rushed aid into a blackened area of 5000 acres, in which the towns of Bandon and Prosper had vanished in flames.
 A tent city, populated by the thousands who fled went up over night.
 Trucks numbered over debris choked roads and charred bridges throughout the night to carry the refugees into Marshfield, where re- lief headquarters was established.
 Food and water supplies here ap- peared adequate for the time being. Twenty-four army trucks, loaded with food, blankets and medical supplies communicated at CCC camps, were enroute from Medford
 Governor Clarence Martin told Major General T. E. Rilea, Oregon national guard, in charge of relief, there appeared no need for martial law. The governor said if footing or disorder occurred, he would ask for federal troops.
 As the evacuation of Bandon and Prosper continued, state and federal controlled blazes flaming in nearby agencies battled to check the un- sectors.
 Foresters mustered more than 1000 fire fighters. Highway crews hacked lanes along roads strewn with smouldering logs. Fire fighting apparatus was rushed from nearby communities. A coast guard cutter and lightship awaited of shore with supplies.
 Amid scenes rivaling wartime devastation, survivors search e d blackened ruins for missing rela- tives.
 Eight bodies have been recovered. seven definitely identified. A score are missing. Twenty-Five persons are injured, two blinded.
 Officials made no attempt to eSti- mate property damage, which may run above $2,000,o00, including de- stroyed timber.
 San Francisco, Sept. 28-CUP)- Red Cross officials began campaign today to raise $100,0o0 for emer- gency relief to refugees of the south ernr Oregon fire area.
 Most of the money was to be used in assisting homeless residents of Bandon and Prosper, and to aid in rebuilding the towns. First contri- button to the Pacific coast fund was $25, 900 from the national Red Cross.
