Capital Is Again S'oeltering;
Federal Employees Excused

Several thousand Federal employees
in ill-ventilated buildings were sent
home early this afternoon for the
third consecutive day as the Capital
sweltered in oppressive heat and hui
midity. which caused l8 prostrations
yesterday and one more today.
The huge and comparatively new
Commerce Department Building was
virtually emptied of employees at 2
o'clock. At the same time. 900 en-
ployes of the Public Health Service
were excused. Earlier, employees were
sent home from dozen Treasury De-
partment buildings which lack air
conditioning systems.
The heat, from which no relief is in
sight, was fairly general throughout
the East, where several deaths were
reported.
The forecaster expressed the belief,
however, that the mercury this after
noon will stop a few points under
yesterdays peak of 95. The humidity,
As yesterday, remained unusually high
and there was almost no breeze.

ROCKVILLE, Md, Aug. 17.-State's
Attorney James H. Pugh today prom
ised an investigation to determine why
Brown c. Turner, AZ, of Derwood had
been taken to the Maryland House Of
Correction before a sentence Of 10
lashes for wife beating was carried out.
Turner was convicted August 8 in
Police Court Of beating his wife and
sentenced by Judge Harold G. Smith to
receive 10 lashes. At the same time
he was given a one-year sentence in
the House of Correction on charge
of assaulting Ofiicer william Crawford
of the Montgomery County Police at
the time of his arrest.
Mr.. Pugh said that If the sheriff, @.
Ellington Bell, has the choice Of which
sentence of the two is to be imposed
first. q detainer would be placed
against Turner 1t the House of Cor
rection 50 that the lashes may be ad-
ministered at the end Of his term.
At the sheriff's office it was learned
that Turner had been removed to the
House Of Correction last Saturday al
though Sheriff Bell did not reveal the
fact until today. He stated yesterday
that he had not set the date for the
whipping because he had not yet re-
ceived commitment papers on that
sentence signed by Judge Smith.
Harry NJ, Williams, clerk Of the

Failure to Lash Wife Beater
To Be PrObed at Rockville

Police Court, said he went to the
sheriff's Office last week to get the
commitment papers in order to have
them signed by Judge Smith, but that
he was ordered to keep them in his
office. He declined to state from
whom he received the order. but said
that he understood" that Turner
had been given q physical examina-
ton and this revealed he was unable
to stand the punishment.
When asked whether Turner had
been given an examination, Sheriff
Bell this morning said he thought So"
but refused to amplify his statement.
Such an examination would have to
be ordered by the sheriff.
The law required that the lashes
be administered in the county in
which the sentence is imposed, so that
1t would not be possible to carry out
the sentence while Turner is in the
House of Correction. He has until
tomorrow night to appeal either SEN
tence, but it was not considered likely
he would appeal from the House Of
Correction.
In the event a detainer is placed
against Turner for the sentence to be
imposed at the end Of his prison
term, 1t will be administered by
another sheriff. Sheriff Bells term
expires December ] and he Is pro.
hibited by law from seeking re-
election.

Roosevelt Indorses Foes of
Tydings and 0'Connor in
Congress Races.
WHITE HOUSE THRUST
ON LONERGAN DOUBTED
New Yorker Accepts Challenge.
Maryland Senator Indicates
Answer Later.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Addition of Senator Millard Tydings,
Democrat, Of Maryland, and Rep
resentative John O'Connor, Democrat,
of New York, to President Roosevelt's s
personal purge list" left Capital
politicians wondering today whether
he would denounce other anti-admin-
istration Congresmen.
Speculation centered principally on
Senator e. D. Smith, Democrat, of
South Carolina. The President did
not mention Senator Smiths name
last week in an appeal at Greenville,
S. c., for election of liberal legislators,
but some persons thought he might
do so before the primary August 80.
s The only other Senate race In which
he might take a hand is In Connecti-
cut. Senator Augustine Lonergan, who
voted against some White House bills,
is indorsed by Attorney General Cum
mings, and most politicians consider
it unlikely the President will inter-
vene.
Mr.. Roosevelt announced his oppo-
sition to Senator Tydings and Rep
resentative O'Connor-and support
of their new deal opponents-at q
press conference yesterday Previ-
ously he had asked the voters Of
Georgia to defeat Senator Walter F.
George.
O'Connor Accepts Challenge.
REPRESENTATIVE O'Conror. chairman
of the Important House Rules Com
mittee, promptly said he accepted
the Presidents challenge. A petition
was filed last night to place his name
on the Republican as well as the
Democratic primary ballot.
"The voters in the 18th congress
sional district" Mr.. O'Connor said.
will alone decide who will represent
them in the House Of Representatives.

Senator Tydings declined comment
at this time but indicated he would
reply to the President later.

pressing his views, saying 1t could
be considered his own statement. The
editorial supported his right ITO pub
licly repudiate those who have betrayed
the New Deal in the past and will
again" 1t continued:
If men like Senator Tydings Of
Maryland said frankly: I no longer
believe in the platform Of the Demo-
cratic party as expressed in the New
Deal; I'm running for reelection as
. member Of the Republican opposition
to the New Deal,' then there would be
no reason and no excuse for President
Roosevelt to intervene against them.
Backs Presidents Right.
The issue would be clear. The
voter could take his choice between
the New Deal and Tydings' record Of
consistent opposition to 1t. But Tyd-
ings tells the voters he supports the
bone and sinew' Of the New Deal. He
wants to run with Roosevelt prestige
and the money of his conservative

Commissioner George E. Allen an

traitor Of the District Works Progress
Administration-without salary.
Mr.. Allen said his decision to con-

had requested that Mr.. Allen remain
as administrator.
The President is known to have a
warm personal regard for Mr.. Allen
and was delighted with his decision
to remain in an official capacity.
First indication that Mr. Allen
would continue as the local work relief
head was at President Roosevelt's
press conference yesterday, when the
President said he was glad George"
was not going to leave Washington.
Although he did not mention w. P. A.,
or the commissionership, the President

GEORGIA RURAL
AREAS TO DECIDE
Unit System Gives Them
Balance of Power in
Sizzling Race.
BY J. A. O'LEARY,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.


ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 1.-THE
farmers in more than 100 sparsely-
settled counties appear destined to
hold the decisive cards in Georgia's
hot Democratic Senatorial primary,
which has taken on Nationwide i'm
portance since President Roosevelt
openly declared war on the veteran
senior Senator Walter F. George.
Rural Georgia, spreading over a
wide area outside the eight centers Of
population, finds itself in the lime
light in this sizzling fight because Of
the unit system of voting, under which
three small outlying counties may
Offset or balance the vote Of thickly
populated city. The possibility Of un-
expected results in this system is apt
to give political forecasters many q
headache between now and primary
day, September IA, with four candi-
dates in the field.
In this metropolis of the State there
are no indications the Presidents
move has done Senator George any
immediate harm. The Senator him.
self was quick to accept the Presidents
challenge in his Monday speech. in
which he stressed the right OF the
people to select their own public serv-
ants and defended his record as q
"full-time" Democrat.
What reaction the administrators
purge move is producing in outlying
portions of the State probably will de-
velop more gradually as Senator
George and the three other candidates
push ahead with speaking tours they
have already started into the rural
areas.
One fact is certain. Georgia is
