How Opposed Jimmy

Hardly anyone outside the Roose- welt family knows that Jimmy would have joined the White House secre- tariat at the outset of the New Deal had it not been for the implaceable oppositio nof the late Louis Nc Henry Howe.
 The Jimmy RoOsevelts had
 moved to Washington and rented
 an aparement. But Howe insisted
 Jimmy mustn't be a presidential secretary and won his point. Jimmy went away, feeling bad ly used and declaring to his father that in that case he was going out and make a million dollars. II was then that he went into the insurance business and MaSSa- chusetts politics. He may or may not have made the million, but he did very well for himself.
 Protests Spending
 Dr. Jacob s. Viner's resigna- ton from the treasury, where he was special assistant to Secretary Morgenthau, signalizes the so-called victory of the "spenders" in the ad- ministration over the Morgenthau group of udget-balancers.
 Viner, University of Chicago professor, was one of a small ,se-
 cluded "brain trust" group which
 stood behind Morgenthau as he argued in cabinet meetings against pump -priming and larger federal
 expenditures on the ground that
 the depression would not last. This small "brain trust" of treas uray professors, which also includes Dr. Winfield w. Reifier of Prince ton and Dr. John H. Williams of Harvard, has been aided in avoiding the limelight by the fact that its secret work in operating the mys- texous $2,OOO,OOO,OOO stabilizatior fund requires it's members to talk to no one but Morgenthau. Theil influence waned as the recession wore on. Viner has quit with the explanation that T haven't for some time liked the way things were go- ing"
 Sure C. 0. P. Gain
 A Republican gain of 35 seats ir the next congress may be taken a! reasonable rock-bottom prediction at this time.
 In a recent poll of Washington correspondents and outstanding politicians of both parties taken by the magazine News Week, the
 lowest guess by any politician
 called for a 35-seat G. o. P. gain
 and the highest predicted 81 new
 Republican seats.
 National Chairmen John Hamil- ton and Jim Farley both took part in the poll, as did the chairmen o1 the two major party congressiona campaign committees. CorreSpon- dents guessed all the way from 1s to 100. The average guess of bott groups was for 60 new Republican seats.

Warning Sounded for

U.N.SO Chairman Martin Dies
Cd, Texas, of the special House
unAmerican activities inveStigat-
ing committee, today called upon
all organizations under attack as
foreign propagandistS to come
clean" to the committee. He said:
IF these organizations which
have been attacked, and which
have denied the attacks, would
come clean and show their
books to the committee, the in
VeStigation could be accelerated.
What we want are the facts.
We will not permit our inves-
tigation to become a circus,
red-baiting inquisition or per-
nit it to be used by individuals
to exploit themselves or to in
jure Others"
KUHN TO BE CALLED
Investigators for the committee,
1t is understood, already are delv-
ing into charges against the Ger
man-American Bund and the Com
munist organizations. Both have
been accused of propagandizing in
this country.
Indicating that both DR.. Fritz
Kuhn, head of the Bund, and Earl
Browder, head of the Communist
party, would be called as wit
nesses, Dies said:
1--WE will not permit either
Kuhn or BroWder or anyone else
to use the hearing to make
stump speeches"

poena upon George Sylvester Vier-
lex, understood to be sought as a

received information that many
persons suspected of acting for
foreign countries are planning to

HOw Scientists Measure
Action Of Ductless Glands

ygen used per second in relation to
the body weight. Thus we can say
that the thyroid is functioning SO
per cent more or so per cent less
than normal, and SO forth and so
on.
Sugar Reading Gives Measure
+ The islet cells in the pancreas
can also be measured exactly by
reading the amount Of the blood
sugar. Inasmuch as these cells Sc
crete a substance, insulin, which
burns in the blood at any time THAT
it is increased, and since we can
measure by the most exact quanti-
tative means the amount of sugar
concentration in the blood, we have
in the blood sugar an exact index
Of the activities of the internal
glands of the pancreas.
It is probable that we are on the
verge of having exact methods Of
determination for all Of the duct
less gland secretions. Work which
has just been completed with an
electro-spectroscope can determine
the amount of crystalline secretion
from the pituitary and reproductive
glands by measuring the amount Of
this secretion in the blood. Thus
from an examination Of the blood,
it is possible to tell the exact stage
in the cycle that any woman is in,
and the maturation and movement
of the ovum can be determined and
predicted with great exactness.
We, Of course, have other means
of determining the activity of these
glands, but they are, frankly, much
cruder. It is always permissible
to try giving some Of the glandular
products to see whether improve
raent occurs and If it does not, we
must assume there is no change in
function of the glands. We can
catalogue also quite well the symp-
toms which are produced by poor
function Of the glands, but this
method is not quantitative and Il
subject to some error.

EX-SHER|FF DIES
IN ELECTION ROW

JACKSON, KY, Aug. 5 UN.SO.
Blood Smeared the final page Of
Kentucky's bitter primary cam
paign today with the Staying Of a
former sheriff and the wounding
of two other men as the sensa-
tional climax to a political row.
All involved were prominent in
the opposing camps Of Governor
A. B. Chandler and United States
Senator Alben w. Barkley, seeking
the Democratic Senatorial nomina-
ton,
The victims Of the affray late
last night were former Sheriff Lee
Combs, who died shortly after be-
ing rushed to the hospital; his
brother Lewis, and the present
sheriff, Walter Deaton.
Lewis Combs named their as
sailant to police as William
Combs, u distant cousin and coun-
ty campaign manager for Senator
Barkley. Lewis is the county
chairman for Governor Chandler.
Critically wounded In the back, he
was given only q slight chance to-
day to recover.
The shooting took place on the
stairway Of the new Hargic bank
building in the heart of downtown
Jackson outside the Barkley head
quarters on the second floor.
It occurred less than SO hours
before the polls opened to set, ;
the contest between Chandler and
Barkley that has split the Demo
cratic party in Kentucky wide
open.
To illustrate the extent of the
rift, 1t was recalled William and
Lee Combs had run together eight
years ago when Lee was elected
sheriff and Bill" won the post
of county tailer, Tho job he still
holds.
They had been known as fast
friends until the dispute developed
between Chandler and Barkley.
William Combs fled after the
shooting and escaped in the confu-
sion. The headquarters was still
crowded with Barkley followers
who had attended a final meeting
that broke up few minutes be-
fore.

|BERRY'S DEFEAT
FINDS new DEAL
WELL SATISFIED
Kentucky and Georgia
Provide Real Tests
By THEODORE HUNTLEY

From the Washington viewpoint,
the Tennessee primary yesterday
was without national significance.
The New Deal was not involved.
Certainly neither President Roose-
velt nor his strategy board wanted
George Berry reelected to the Sen
ate. The governorship fight was
local row-a "putSch" by Boss
Crump Of Memphis and his we'll
oiled city machine to drive from
office governor whom he had
helped elect, but who later turned
against him and allied himself
with Berry.
Except as a commentary on the
low state Of politics in Tennessee,
where gutter tactics have become
almost as common as in PennSyl-
vania, Illinois and New Jersey, the
success of the Crump ticket may
be forgotten.
If A. Tom Stewart should be
seated by the Senate-and he will
have to satisfy some Skeptical
Senators on the Senatorial Cam
paign Investigating Committee
that he came by his seat honestly
he will probaly trail along with
Senator Kenneth McKellar, an
other Crump ally, as a fairly reg
ular supporter of the New Deal,
as was Berry.
THREE STATES WATCHED
1t Is rather to Kentucky, Mary
land and Georgia that Washington
looks for results of national sig
ntflcance, just as it watched
Florida, Oklahoma and Virginia
results in the earlier primaries,
and Indiana for the outcome of
the fight on Senator Van Nuys.
Kentucky comes along Satur-
day. There Is more at stake for
the New Deal there than in any
other State. The rivals are Ma
jority Leader Alben B. Barkley,
who is opposed for reelection by
Governor A. B. Happy" Chandler.
If Barkley should by any chance
be defeated for denomination it
would be as If pillar of the temple
had fallen. The New Deal Struc-
ture might not collapse, but to say
it would be weakened would be
putting it mildly. The moral ef-
feet would be tremendous. Beside
| it, the success of the Presidents
favorites in Florida and Oklahoma
would become almost insignificant.
WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT
After Kentucky the Maryland
primary on September IL and the
Georgia finale on September IA,
will to some extent tell the story
Of the Presidents waning or con-
tinuing popularity and the outlook
for continued New Deal triumphs.
President Roosevelt plans to go
into Georgia, August IL, pre-
sumably to urge the election of
United States Attorney Lawrence
Camp and the defeat of Senator
Walter F.. George, distinguished
among Southern conservatives as
strict constitutionalist, and one
of the leaders in the historic Sen
ate fight on the Presidents court
program.
TALMADGE OUTSIDER
Former Governor Eugene Tai
madge Of Georgia is running for
the Senate also. Townsendite
candidate in William McRae, of
Atlanta, is likewise in the race.
But the real fight is between
George and Camp with the New
Deal issue as in Kentucky, and
the Presidents future program
hanging in the balance.
If Chandler wins and George
looks like a winner, the odds on
Tydings will lengthen in Mary
land.
If Barkley wins and Senator
George is weakened by the Presi-
dents appearance in Georgia,
watch Davey Lewis smoke!
