Outstanding performers for the
United States team was Perrin
Walker, of Georgia, who won
the 10O-yard and 220-yard dash.
FENSKE WINS MILE
Chuck Fenske, of Wisconsin,
took the mile run, hailed as the
piece de resistance of the program,
but his victory was more or less
hollow one, inaSmuch as Sidney
Wooderson, the great English
Olympian and world record-holder,
had withdrawn. Fenske's time
was 4:19.4.
Wooderson ran, instead, in the
half mile race and set up new
British standard for the distance
with a 1909 performance. An
other British record fell before
Jack Patterson, of the United
States, in the 440-yard hurdles,
which he made in SO seconds.
Other American victories were
scored by Melvin Walker in the
high jump, with a leap of feet
5 inches; Allan Tomlich in the
120-yard hurdles, which he negoti-
ated in 14.6, and Cornelius
Warmedam in the pole vault. His
leap was IA feet, with Dick Pat
terson, another of the Americans,
second.
Perrin Walker gave the United
States its first triumph in the
competition among representatives
of nations when he ran the 100
yard feature in 80, with Arp, of
Holland. second, and Mariani, of
Italy, third.

Melvin Walker took the high

usual, comes almost two months be-
fore the elections in the rest Of the
country. No Senator Is to be chosen.
National House will be elected.
Mr.. Farley is entirely human. He
likes most people, but there are some
he does not like, even though they
are Democrats. He would like to
see them deposed, washed up and out
of ONCE. But whether he likest them
or not, he prefers to see Democrats
in office He Is an organization man,
and If the Democratic party nominates
q candidate, he believes 1t the duty
Of the national party organization to
support that candidate.
Suggestions that the President and
the New Deal inner circle might be
willing to support liberals" no matter
what party label they carried. against
Democrats whom the administration
dislikes, probably have been exceeding
ly painful to Mr.. Farley. 1t is not Mr..
Farley's idea Of the way to build sue
cessfully q national political party.
The Democratic chairman has gone
along with the President In his effort
to eliminate Senator Tydings. But
it is entirely certain that the idea Of
eliminating any Democrat never origi-
mated with the chairman. Or, II there
is to be any eliminating by the organi-
zation 1t Is not to be advertised to the
world. One Of Mr.. Farleys tasks is
to keep New Hampshire in the Demo-
cratic column this year. Neighboring
State Of Maine and Vermont, the two
holdouts against Roosevelt in 1885,
New Hampshire at present has Re-
publican Governor and one Republican
and one Democratic member of the
House Of Representatives. The Demo-
cratic Senator, Fred H. Brown, known
as an ardent Roosevelt man, is up for
reelection. He is without opposition
for the nomination in the primary
which takes place September 13.
Tobey Opposes Carter.
Representative Charles w. Tobey
and Maj. Elliot A. Carter OF Nashua
are fighting 1t out for the Republican
senatorial nomination. Both are
opposed to the Roosevelt New Deal.
However, Tobey voted for some Of the
Roosevelt measures and his opponent
Is chiding him for those votes. Tobey's
candidacy for the senatorial nominal
ton has opened the way to Repub-
licans in the second congressional dis
trict to seek the nomination for the
House seat he will vacate Foster
Stearns, son OF Frank w. Stearns of
Boston, intimate friend Of the late
President Calvin Coolidge. is one Of
eight seeking the nomination. Stearns,
who lives in Hancock, has been active
in politics for some time in Vermont
and has been a member OF the State
legislature
Arthur B. jerks, who served for
nearly two years as a member of the
House, representing the first New
Hampshire district and who was yank-
ed out OF his seat by the Democratic
majority only q month or 50 ago, is
seeking denomination and will likely
get it. Roy, Democrat of French
extraction, to whom his seat was
given. is also seeking denomination,
but has strong opposition.

the flaming sword of II Duce. She
received tremendous applause.
1t had been reported for years that
the comely, blonde co-artisan of
Fascism, with Benito MuSsolini, his
companion agitator in his early soap
box days, had warded off anti
Semitsm in the new regime. This
writer has seen no specific evidence
Of this, although there were plausible
news reports of such activity on her
part at a critical turn of party af-
fairs in 1927, and she was lauded in
several Jewish publications as hav-
ing performed this service for Jewry.
But at last there is anti-Semitism IN
Italy, with all the synthetic pseudo
scientific trimmings of the German
model and there is. indeed, pro-

manner Of compensa ton being con-

Hours Irregular.
"The Federal co-ordinator in the re-
port above referred to stated: For
many employees, the hours which may
be worked or the miles run per day
are variable and irregular because OF
traffic demands and operating condi-
tions over which the men have little
or no control If wages were paid on

hours during time on duty in which
no work could be performed. Many

no secret that the New Deal inner cir
Gle would be delighted If the genial
Pat should be eliminated in the COM
ing primary. The fact of the matter
is that the New Dealers have no real
hope that the 100 per cent Roosevelt
man opposing McCarran will be able
to win.
The failure Of the President and his
New Dealers to include McCarran in
the purge list, or to so place Senator
Adams Of Colorado and Senator Clark
of Missouri, argues a certain degree OF
inconsistency. The administration
forces have made no attempt, either.
to halt Senator Lonergan Of Connecti-
cut, who has failed to see eye to eye
with the President on number OF
occasions. While these gentlemen
escaped blacklisting by the President,
Senators George Of Georgia, Smith Of
South Carolina and Tydings Of Mary
land were not so fortunate. All Of the
blacklisted Senators were from the
Southern part of the country. Those
who escaped hailed from the West
and North.
West Shows Independence.
Presumably the President and his
advisers have sought to eliminate those
opponents Of the administration who
they believed could be eliminated, al
though the President has said since the
victory Of Senator Cotton Ed" Smith
in South Carolina that he knew Smith
would win. Any way, the President
did not have q chance to defeat Clark
in Missouri, Adams In Colorado or
McCarran, presumably, in Nevada
The West already has shown its inde-
pendence several times in voting
against administration favorites for
denomination to Senate and House.
The President may or may not be-
lieve' that Senator George can be
defeated in Georgia. Perhaps, as in
the case Of Senator Smith, the Presi-
dent feels that he has done a useless
thing in opposing his renomination-
unless in the sense that he could be
defeated. Naturally the President is
not likely to advertise week before
the primary belief that he con-
siders George unbeatable. That would
be defeatist attitude of the worst
caliber. 1t is astonishing that any
one as sanguine as the President
should have believed he could not
defeat Senator Smith, for that matter.
Possibly the President may feel that
it is impossible to defeat Senator
Tydings in Maryland. but that, too,
will not be known until after Sep
tember IL. when the Maryland pri-
mary takes place. In the meantime,
the President is going after the Mary
land Senator hammer and tongs. He
will deliver two speeches in Mary
land on Monday opposing Tydings'
denomination and supporting Repre-
sentative "Davey" Lewis, the New
Deal candidate for the senatorial NOM
nation.
