Washington, Sept. 1.-(AP)-The
heaviest primary election month OF
1888 began today with three major de-
feats chalked up against the Roosevelt
administration and three straight-out
New Deal contests still to be decided.
Administration lieutenants hoped
that primaries in Maryland, Georgia
and New York will offset reverses
suffered by the President Tuesday in
the victory Of Senator E. D. Smith,
Democrat, South Carolina, and the
defeat of Senator William G.. McAdoo,
California.
The only other major upset to the
administration this year was in Idaho
where New Deal Senator James Pope
lost to Representative Worth Clark

Most politicians agreed that some of
the remaining primary contests will.
involve the Presidents prestige even
more than any already held.
Mr.. Roosevelt has denounced by

London. Sept. 1.-(AP)-Rritain and
France received with anxiety today
the news that Konrad Henlein, the
Sudeten German leader, had left
CZechoslovakia to see Chancellor Hit
Ter of Germany his self-styled pro-
tector.
A section of the British press prais-
ed the United States interest in the
issue between Czechoslovakia and
the autonomy-demandin Sudeten Ger
man minority. One newspaper predict
ed President Roosevelt might send
Hitler a warning.
The fact that Henlein had gone to
Hitler's mountain retreat in Bavaria
was interpreted as meaning that Hit
Ter, not the Sudeten German leaders
themselves, would give the final an
swer on the Czechoslovak autonomy
proposals originally demanded by
the Praha government no later than
tomorrow morning
Optimism over appearances of mod
Grafton shown by considerable Sec

Hitler had been impressed by French
and British warnings not to plunge
into anything that might drag Eu-
rope into war. All quarters seemed
agreed that the crisis was approach
ing a climax, with the fate of Czecho-
slovakia and, possibly, all Europe, in

Raleigh, Sept 1.-(AP)-Eastern
North Carolina tobacco farmers will

price averages on the border and new
bright auction markets. The meetings,

Meetings will be held later at other
towns in the tobacco belt.
E. F. Arnold, secretary of the farm
bureau said prices had slumped from
two to five cents pound in the last
month, and that the trend continued
downward. In general, tobacco far
mers have been receiving good prices
for poor grade weed, and poor prices
for good grades.
Arnold said he believed, despite
some discomfort concerning prices,
farmers still were solidly behind the
crop control law.
