he will lose Craftsmanship of the
Rules Committee which he won by
reason of is years seniority in
Democratic ranks in Congress.
Complete unofficial returns gave
Fay 1852 votes and O'Connor u
799 Democratic votes.
O'Connor won the Republican
nomination by 984 unofficial votes,
beating Allen W. Dulles, an attor-
ney who was backed by the
regular C. o. P. organization.
Complete unofficial returns gave
O'Connor 1888. Dulles 1,169.
O'Connor said there were from
800 to 900 protested ballots in the
Democratic primary and termed
it an unnatural thing" adding:
The figures are all so far
off the main highway that there
is something fishy to be looked
into. There will have to be a
recount"
Jubilant over his apparent sue
cess, Fay, a World War veteran
with one wooden leg, said:
"The Sixteenth Congressional
district registered its faith in
the aims and purposes Of the
New Deal and in me-"
His retort to O'Connor's cry for
a recount was:
Just like him."
Should the official vote seal
O'Connor's defeat, it will mark the
first success President Roosevelt
has achieved against the four prin,
cipals on his purge" list. He per.
sonally appealed for the defeat
Of Senators George. of Georgia
Smith, of South Carolina, and
Tydings, of Maryland, but all won
denomination easily.
In the November 8 election
O'Connor was expected to have
the full support of the Republican
organization. He won the favor
of many Republicans during the
last session Of Congress by oppos

The act that brought him the
disfavor of President Roosevelt
was his opposition to and cam

to do"
Now chasing a hurricane around,
and asking 1t its intentions, Is
not so simple as 1t sounds.
SIMPLE" PROCESS
To Mr.. Mitchelrs desk come re-
ports from hundreds Of weather
stations along the whole coast
from Florida to Maine. These tell
the velocity of the winds, the tenn
peratures, the precipitation. and
the direction Of the winds, the
nature Of the cloud formations, In
short the whole weather picture.
To him come reports Of the
readings of the dozens Of delicate
instruments at the weather bureau
which write-in their own hand
writing-the situation at hand.
HOW IT IS DONE
A score Of weather experts CON-
pile, compare, and consult all
these charts and data, and put
their conclusions before him, and
from the data a map Is con-
structed-many in fact-and from
the map Mr.. Mitchell knows where
the storm started-how fast 1t Is
moving-what direction it is tax.
ing-how much rain accompanies
it, and will answer the questions
as fast as the calls come in.
For instance. the map shows
that this present Storm-only
part of the fringe of which is felt
in Washington-came in from the
East by way Of the area just
north of the West Indies: headed
straight for Florida at hurricane
speed-more than rs miles an
hour; changed it's mind and went
far enough out to sea to aim right
at Cape Hatteras: turned East
again, and is right now speeding
along North-Northeast - toward
New England.

Election By G. 0. P. Will

Ry THEODORE HUNTLEY

By THEODORE hUNILE1
At long last President Roosevelt
has his conservative.liberal lineup
right where he wants ton his
own home grounds in New York
Except for the allowance which
must be made for voting habits in
q general election, particularly
the habit of voting 'er straight"
November should bring a fairly
true test of the voting strength
of the two groups in the heart Of
New York city.
VICTORIOUS IN PRIMARY
It comes about as a result of
yesterdays primary contest be-
tween Representative John O'Con-
nor, of the Sixteenth New York
Congressional District, and James
II. Fay, war veteran and New
Dealer, for the Democratic nomi-
nation, and between O'Connor
and Allen w. Dulles. former career
diplomat, for the Republican
Nomination.
O'ConnoE, running in both
party primaries, lost the Demo
cratic nomination to Fay and won
the Republican nomination from
Dulles.
And that is precisely what Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been working
toward-a realignment which
would throw the Democratic and
Republican conservatives together
and at the same time unite the
liberals of both parties.
LABOR WON BY FAY
Fay, in addition to winning the
Democratic nomination, won the
American Labor Party nomi-
nation without opposition, and
thus rides toward the November
contest in the same liberal band
wagon with Mayor LaGuardia.
=, O'Connor meanwhile sits atop
the COP elephant-and from the
Roosevelt viewpoint, everything
Is perfect.
For Chairman O'Connor Of the
House Rules Committee, Harvard
trained in law and wealthy resi-
dent OF Long Island has moved
in with the economic royalists
but has continued to represent
the underprivileged of the East
Side in midtown Manhattan.
The President regards him as one
who in the language Of Little
Davey Lewis runs as a Democrat
but votes as Republican"
LOSES TWO WAYS
The primary result, which now
seems definite enough, not only
pushes O'Connor out of the chair
manship of the House Rules Com
mittee, but pushes him out OF the
Democratic and into the Republi-
can Party as we'll. And this de-
spite his support by a torn and
bleeding Tammany.
Adolph J. SABBATH, 72-year-old
New Dealer from Chicago's Euro
pean bloc, a native of Czechoslo-
vakia and ardent supporter of the
Presidents policies. seems certain
to step in January into the chair
manship of the committee which
succeeded some Is years ago to
the power formerly exercised by
Vncle Joe Cannon alone.
:PROGRAM STRENGTHENED
) This shift in the Craftsmanship
could conceivably do more than
any other one thing to reinforce
the Presidents position in the
House, and facilitate action on
New Deal legislation.
But there is still the Senate to
consider, and the Democratic
Senators whom the President tried
and failed to purge will not be
feeling any too kindly toward the
Roosevelt program when January
rolls around.
Altogether it looks as if stu
alton were shaping for very
pleasant picnic when Congress
meets-with the boys throwing
custard pies and hard-boiled eggs
In the most approved manner.

SPIRITUAL VALUES
URGED ON RIDGIANS

"Spiritually we are children as
long as>we cling to the idea that
material things are the greatest
things in life," DR.. Gilbert R.
Combs, pastor of the Methodist
church, told the graduating class
of Blue Ridge school at their bac-
calaureate sermon vest erd a y
morning.
"The thing that I would like to
do most for the young people with
whom | come in contact today is
to disillusion them on this idea
that material values are the great
est values in life. The happiest
people l have ever known in the
world were people who had only
the average amount of material
possessions and the unhappiest
ones were those who wanted ev-
erything."
Urging Bible reading as the one
thing that can lead to the proper
building of character, he said that
money can build a house but not
a home and that money can build
a church but not a character.
DR.. Combs sermon was the
first feature of the school COM
mencement program which will
be concluded at 10 o'clock on
Tuesday morning.
