Sen. Smith Is
 Renominated by
 Big Majority

UNDATED, Aug. 31, (P)-South Carolina voters in renominating Senator Ellison D. Smith for a sixth term by twenty-five thou sand majority, rebuffed Presid ent Roosevelt in his first attempt to unseat a democratic member of Congress.
 California's democratic primary now being held, is considered as possibility of a second admin istration defeat. Senator Will fam c. McAdoo, thrice praised by the Chief Executive, is trail ing Sheridan DoWney, the 5000 per week pension champion.
 Senator Smith, who long ago won the nickname of Cotton Ed won over Governor Olin D, Johnston, a sef-styled hundred percent New Dealer.
 Although Roosevelt did not mention names during the furi- ous primary campaign, he refer red to Senator Smith as one who thinks in terms of the past.
 In California there is no new deal issue between Downey and McAdoo. Senator McAdoo was outspoken in his criticism of DoHney's pension proposal. The scheme provides $30 dollars per week in scrip for all unemploy- ed in the State of California who are over fifty years old.

Great Britain And France are Prepared for Conflict
Britain France Take Action To
 Prevent War

UNDATED, Aug. 31, (P)- Great Britain and France took emergency action yesterday to prevent war in Europe, and at the same time prepared to meet conflict if it comes.
 The two cabinets, meeting sim ultaneouSly amidst the heavist war clouds since 1914, gave their unanimous approval to the steps already taken by their foreign ministers in the Czechoslakia crisis and agreed on the policies already followed. Future poli cies were not disclosed, but it was believed that British Mini sters had decided to make calm but firm and final demands that Germany halt it's campaign of hate against Czechoslakia, and cooperated in efforts to settle the Czech minority problem,
 The French cabinet voted to- day on the length of hours of working in national defense in- dustries, public service, and public safety" industries. At the same time is gave it's virtual pow CT to mobilize all French industry if necessary.
 The tension between Germany and Czechoslavakia was increas- ed today by a second German protest against the alleged in- suit to the Imperial German Army by Czech newspapers.
 Germany had previously pro- tested Saturday and demanded immediate action to prevent fur ther "Slander".
 Uneasiness was also felt in the Far East as a result of a state ment made by Lieutenant Gen eral Seishiro Itagaki, Japanese War Minister, that more clashes between Japanese and Soviet Russian forcrs on the Siberian frontier 'were likely to occur"

There's a little town that
NeStles 'mOngst the nines,
Where the breeze is fresh,
and skies are clear end blue,
and the sun shines into
Every little window,
and every blade Of grass is
Sweet with dew.
,There's a hooking bird
That sings there in the moonl light +,
And the little lighted windows
Shine like stars,
Oh there's rest there, it's
Refuge from the city with
It's chaos, and it, S talk Of woes
and wars.
It is filled with really smiling,
happy faces,
For our hopes are like our homes;
ALL bright and new,
IT. S little place we murmur
Prayers Of thanks for,
a little town where many
Dreams come ture.

Join in Search for
Girls Slayer
Description Of Stranger
Who lured Her to
Death Is Only Clue
By the Associated Press.

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa, Dec. 49,
Volunteers and National Guardsmen
threw their assistance today into an
intensive manhunt for a crazed fiend
who authorities believe killed Mar
garet Martin, devout 19-year-old
business school graduate, and tossed
her mutilated body into an isolated
mountain stream.
A description of the stranger who
lured tho attractive, brown -haired
girl from her home In Kingston last
Saturday with an offer of a job
made over the Acknowledgements
ly was the only tangible clue. State
police said an unidentified person
informed them the man was between
rs and 80, neat, sauve and sandy
haired.
The informer, police said, over
heard the "employer's" conversation
with Miss Martin from a pay-sta-
ton, in which he asked her to meet
him on street corner because he
couldn't locate her home.
Beyond that, an "inch-by inch"
search by IS State troopers of the
craggy, brier-studded ravine sur
rounding the stream where trapper
found the girls nude body jammed
into burlap sack late Wednesday,
produced nothing that might lead to
the slayer's identity.
Maj. William A. Clark, regional
State police commander, turned
aside anxious questions with a mo
comment" He said even the manner
In which the girl died, and whether
'she was subjected to molestation of
degenerate, remained "open to
questions.
An autopsy report said the girl
was strangled.
At Miss Martins home, some 80
miles away, serene sorrow contrasted
with the activity of the hard driven
manhunt as her grief stricken
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Martin,
made plans for the funeral tomor-
row. Mass will be sung at the church
she attended virtually every Sunday
of her life

PARIS, Dec. 23.-Armed soldiers
mounted guard today before the
still-smouldering facade of the Hotel
des Invalides-which houses mill
tary offices, the army museum and
Napoleon's tomb-where firemen
successfully smothered a spectacu-
lar blaze that threatened Frances
military plans.
Gen. Marie Gustave Gamelin's
general staff aides, who work with
their chief in the Invalides head
quarters, reported after a hasty
check that none of the army docu-
ments had been touched by the fire,
which last night destroyed a Sec
ton of the roof and damaged q
section about go yards long across
the front of the old, massive struc-
ture. Napoleons tomb was saved
from damage.
Many French military secrets
were housed in the general sta1
headquarters in a wing Of the
Invalides, a 30-acre, gray stone
structure that was once soldiers
home and remains showplace Of
Paris.
The fire was believed caused by

Senator Johnson
10 Seek Curb on
Delegated Power
Also Plans to Press
For Reeopture of
Purse Strings
BY ]. A. O'LEARY

Senator Hiram johnson, Repub-
dcan Of California, hard hitting
veteran of many important :sgisla-
tive battles, is preparing for another
IN the new Congress-against fur
ther delegation of power from Con-
gress To the Executive.
II have come back here" the Cali
fornian said, determined, with
what little force I can, to prevent
any further surrender of powers of
Congress and to take back those
powers which peculiarly belong to
Congress and have been given to the
Executive"
In this connection, the senator
recalled his opposition to the ad-
mlnistration's government reorgani-
zation bill, which died in the House
last summer. and said:
Il am still opposed to it. I want
TO know what is going to be done
and how it is going to be done. No
general statement of reorganization
ought to satisfy Congress"
One of the main arguments raised
against the reorganization plan in
the Senate in the last session was
that it delegated too much power
from Congress to the President to
regroup agencies. 1t was this con-
tention that prompted the amend
ment to require Congressional ap-
proval of Presidential reorganiza-
ton orders, which was rejected by a
narrow margin.
More detailed control over expen-
diture of appropriations was men
toned by Senator johnson as an
other illustration of his general OBJ
jective.
On this he declared:
ut was an age-long struggle by
our English forbears to take into
their custody the purse of the Ma
ton. Finally they succeeded and for
more than three centuries the Par
lament has maintained its power in
this regard. Our Constitution was
supposed to have safeguarded it, and
the American Congress has never,
until recently, surrendered the purse
Of the people.
1T must, now that the emergency
IS passed, resume its power, and in
