British Envoy Takes Hitler Warning
ITALY WOULD SHUN WAR WITH
WESTERN POWERS If ENGLAND
NEUTRAL. IN NAZI-CZECH ROW
Informed Fascists Feel
Neither Nazis Nor Czechs
Want War

ROME, Aug. 31.-(UP)-ltaly
would not fight the western pow
erS solely for the sake Of the Su-
deten Germans, but her ultimate
stand in case of war would be die
tated by the extent and duration
of the clash and by the powers
drawn in, well-informed FasciStS
said last night.
Italy's present position, they
said, is that Of q neutral observer,
with the only difference being that
she is friend of Germany.
They indicated that if Britain
should remain neutral in a Czech
German war. even if France were
drawn in, Italy would be willing
to stay out.
Italians have been earnestly
hoping that Britain will prevail on
the Czcchs to make every possible
concession to the militant Sude-
tens and that the crisis will pass.
Despite the angry charges be-
ING tossed by both sides, Italians
here feel that neither the Czechs
nor Adolf Hitler wants war. They
said that Hitler made his position
clear by stating that he would not
like an theological war. As a re-
suit it was reported here that the
British government brought pres
sure to bear even on the Opposl-
ton press not to agitate on the
Spanish problem and against ma
tons aiding the insurgents.
This action was interpreted here
as an indication that Britain IS
seeking to avoid having Italy JON
the Germans in case of a clash
over the Sudeten affair. -,
An indication that Italy would
like to keep clear Of the entire
situation was sounded last night
by the Giornale D'ltalia, usually
rcflecting the official viewpoint.
Italian correspondents in London
said in dispatches that Britain at
present has adopted discreet at
titude towards Italy to avoid
arousing public opinion against
power which might be kept neu-
trail in case of conflict.
Great Britain is not INSPIRED
by anti-Fascist types in her pres,
ent struggle to MAINTAIN peace,
one correspondent said.

CRISIS GRAVE
Confer on European Situa-

NEUTRALITY WOULD BE
AID TO DEMOCRACIES

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. (UP)
President Roosevelt and Secretary
of State Cordell Hull discussed the
critical European situation yester-
day but neither would comment
although each was represented as
gravely concerned for the future.
Hull conferred with his closest
advisers on European affairs early
in the morning and went to the
White House shortly after Presi-
dent Roosevelt returned from
Hyde Park. They were closeted
together for half an hour and 1T
was indicated the secretary pre-
sented the chief executive with
latest reports from European cap
italS.
Hull made no effort o conceal
his own concern over the posi-
bility Of general war, and the
president, at his press conference,
declined to discuss the crisis, ind
eating the subject is too serious
for open discussion.

WEEKLY PENSION
ADVOCATE LEADS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3l.-
(UP)-U. S. Senator William 6.
McAdoo, President Roosevelts
personally endorsed candidate for
denomination, apparently was be-
ing defeated by Sheridan Downey,
advocate of a unique pension plan
in sensational upset in Cali
fornia's bitterly contested prl-
mary.

thirds of the states l2,438 pre-
cincts showed Downey, Sacrament
to attorney, was more than Ill.,
900 votes ahead of the 74-year-
old McAdoo, who had been favor
ed to win 2 to l because OF the
presidents support.
Numerous incidents of violence
marked the voting in which Nc
Adee's denomination fight was OF
most outstanding national signif-
icance, although a $50 week old
age pension plan figured as an is
sue, due to the presidents recent
attack on the proposal sponsored
by various party candidates.
McAdoo, seeking second term,
was opposed by four candidates.
Local disturbances were report
ed. Rival workers for candidates
in a state assembly district at Los
Angeles battled with baseball bats
after one group tore down cam
paign posters. Sam A. Adarian,
working for John F. Dockweiler's
Democratic candidacy for govern
or, was treated at Los Angeles
hospital after he said he was
beaten by two men.
Dozens of issues complicated
the bitter campaign but the prln-
cipal one was McAdoo's candida.
CIV. He was the target of most OF
the mudslinging. Opponents at
tackled him for opposing the $50
every Thursday old age pension
plan and asked Investigations of
whether some of his campaign
funds were shaken out of the
pockets of federal jobholders.
Besides Downey, John w. Pres.
ton, another candidate, endorsed
tn epension plan. Each professed
New Deal sympathies.

tie was comparatively mild, with

Riley, middle of the road can

The thought thrilled her. She
watched him as he gathered sticks and
built fire and unsaddled the horses,
wondering how long it would be before
he would break down and confess and
admit how he felt toward her.
Rus had half a bottle Of water and
some sandwiches. The fire felt good
and there was an intimacy in sitting
close to the fire with him. His face was
strong and bronzed in the fiickering
light.
She had no idea how tired she was
until she lay down on the soft bed OF
pinon boughs he made for her. Almost
instantly she was asleep. Her last
waking thought was Of Rus removing
his own coat and gently covering her
with 1t. She smiled sleepily. This
was as 1t should be.
The sun was up when she awoke.
Rus had shaken her into vakefulness.

looked for the pinto. But neither
the pinto nor Rus bay were anywhere
to be seen. She glanced at him inquir-
ingly.
