WHY DODD LOST

WHY DODD LOST
Political observers point to two
main factors in this Scrimmage
which was the focal point Of the
states battle.
/. Representative Smith, life
long resident Of district, was
known personally to more voters
than Dodd had ever met, the
younger candidate having spent
two-thirds Of his adult life in other
pursuits.
2. A majority of voters in the
State resented the Administra
tion's effort to force Dodd down
their throats because Smith had
opposed some of its pet legislation
The Administrators insistence
for the election Of Dood was re,
ported to have been potent
factor in the youngsters defeat.
ICKES "HELPFUL"
It was also reported in the same
breath that the verbal tommy-gun
blast of Secretary Ickes against
Smith did much to point the way
to victory to the incumbent.
The Secretary's statement that
: Smith was trying to muscle in
on PWA allotments was on th'
tongue Of thousands of voters a.
they went to the polls.
On the horizon today the fol
lowing facts were paramount:
1. A SaturatiOn vote in an
Off-year primary election which
ordinarily wouldn't rate the
first page, but in the end held
the attention of the whole
country.
2. A conservative sweep in
two congressional districts
where the candidates them
selves had made and accepted
the New Deal as the dominant
issue.
3. VindicatiOn by VirginianS
Of the course in Congress of
Senators Glass and Byrd and a
majority Of the Virginia con-
gresSiOnal delegation, including
the most conservative of them
aH-Representative Howard w.
Smith of Alexandra, renOmi-
mated by fellow Democrats by
a margin of 3 to over his left
wing liberal opponent, William
E. DOdd, jr., of LOudOun county.
Both in the Eighth Congress
sional district, across the river
from Washington, and in the Sec
ond district, which includes the
five tidewater counties around
Norfolk, the answer of the voters
was the same. The Mother OF
Presidents" put the stamp of ap
proval on the conservative candi
dates for Congress and turned
their opponents down cold.

Barren. sun-bleached little tropical

Today, there is hardly scrap of

One Phase of Scramble.
The dispute over the Paracels is but
one phase in the scramble for pos

A strip of hard. sandy beach can be
used to land airplanes if necessary.
In the case Of the Paracels there are
several islands large enough for the
construction of landing fields.
In taking over the Paracek, despite
vigorous protests from Toxic, the
French had other and definite military
considerations. These islands lie di-
