 President Roosevelt has spoker directly against four Democratic congressman who opposed in vary ing degrees of his new deal pro- gram. He lost in South Carolina where Senator Ellison D. Smith won re-nomination over the Roose- welt endorsed candidate. He lost in Maryland Monday where Senator Willard Tydings also won re-nomin- ation. though MT.
