LEWIS BACKERS
HOPE FOR MORE.
F. D. R. SPEECHES.
President May Talk at
Labor Day Rally
By THEODORE HUNTLEY

Jubilarit over President RooSe-
velt's outspoken denunciation OF
Senator Millard Tydings. support
ers of Representative David j.
Lewis today were confident the
Chief Executive would follow up
his attack with at least one addi-
tional speech inside Maryland'S
borders.
Although the President has in
sisted that he has no engagements
beyond Thursday" friends Of
Lewis are eagerly awaiting con-
firmation of reports that he will
address a big Labor Day rally
in Baltimore. Efforts have been
made to persuade the President
to stop off at landing points along
the Maryland shore on his week
end yacht trips to deliver orlet
and informal talks to farmers on
behalf Of Lewis.
HOPE FOR SHORE TALK
So blunt was the President in
his attack on Tydings, political OBJ
servers in both camps declare 1t
would not be surprising if the
President made several speeches
in Maryland to aid in defeat OF
the suave and handsome opponent
of New Deal policies,
Friends of Lewis are hoping the
President might be persuaded to
make at least one speech on the
Eastern Shore where Tydings'
greatest strength is concentrated.
1t would not be too difficult, 1t
was pointed out for the Presidents
yacht to make the run to one of
the Eastern Shore ports on a
weekend voyage.
BITTER BATTLE
AS the politically minded por-
ton of the State settled back to
await the reaction to the PreSl-
dents blast, reins were tightened
all along the line for a primary
battle, eliminating September II,
which promised to become increas-
ingly bitter up to the hour Of bal
loting.
New alignments seemed more
than possible as a consequence
Of the Presidents second dip into
the Maryland campaign, with
definite forecast of more to come.

Awaits
Purge Reaction

Tense and anxious silence
prevailed today al the cam
paign headquarters of SEN
atOr Millard TydingS in Bal
timOre as his aides awaited
the reaction to President
ROOSevelt'S ScOrching state
ment. The Senator is con-
templating no reply at pres
ent, it was said. Last night
Senator Tydings visited a
farmers carnival in Cecil
County and spent the night
in Havre de Grace. Repre-
sentative David ]. Lewis is
scheduled to speak at a big
labor rally in Baltimore to-
night.
The Washington times., 1938-08-17

A few hours tefore the President
spoke, Senator TydingS, in Balti-
more, gave out a story to the ef-
feet that Mayor Howard w. Jack
son of that city had abandoned
all idea of an alliance with Repre-
sentative David j. Lewis, of Cum
berland New Deal choice for the
Senator's seat.
Whether the Tydings version of
the mayors attitude will stand up
in the light of developments of
the last 48 hours, with the Presi-
dent a major factor in the fight.
remains to be seen.
Careful Soundings Of sentiment
In western and southern Mary
land produced a picture which
up to the hour President RooSe-
welt spoke showed Tydings and
Lewis running almost neck and
neck down to the Baltimore city
line.
UP TO VOTERS
This showing made it clear that
IN the 1lnal evolution OF the cam
paign, aside from the effect of the
Roosevelt influence elsewhere, the
issue will be decided in Baltimore
and on the Eastern Shore-where
Tydings is an overwhelming IA
Vorite at the moment because Of
his organization backing and the
Shores essential conservatism.
But with farmers throughout
the State getting AAA checks by
the thousands, organized labor
signed up for Lewis. WPA crews
on every road in Maryland, and
New Deal jobholders running up
and down the State at Govern
ment expense carrying out orders
from Washington, the stage was
set for a finale which admittedly
may rock the natio1. 1t all de
pends on how the voters react tc

day, the Baltimore Sun said in
part in an editorial today:
"Candor is appreciated in this
State. And now that Mr.. Roose-
welt is calling for candor, per-
hapS he will deal in candor.
IF so, will he tell the Demo

Will he say he was a Tory? Will

CANDOR BOTH WAYS
"You cannot talk about can.

Mr.. President. If you talk
about candor, you must face up
to the facts. The facts are, Mr..
President, that where Senator

yesterday, joining Senator Walter
F. George of Georgia. Senator E.
D. Cotton Ed" Smith OF South
Carolina, has received indirect
treatment, with the promise the
President would be back in his
State-presumably after the first
primary-to take a more vigorous
hand in the situation.
Next Move Awaited
The question now was, in Wnlcn
direction will President Roosevelt
turn next in his efforts to elect
those he considers loyal or to de-
feat those who give Zip service
to the New Deal while hiding an
axe" behind their backs?
Maryland, South Carolina a.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania-these were five States in
which the President may appear
during the next two months IN
his sledge-hammer drive to beat
down the conservative" element
of the Democratic Party and re-
turn faithful New Dealers to Con-
gress and high State office this
fall. One or more may not be
visited; others may be added. Mr..
Roosevelt says he has no set en-
gagements beyond tomorrow's ap-
pearance in Canada. 1t appeared
he was watching developments,
prepared to jump in with both
feet wherever he felt the issue to
be most clearly drawn.
A Today retreat at Hyde Park
will develop the final strategy of
the Presidents bold drive to keep
an iron hand on the machinery
of his party. He returns there to-
morrow night from Canada with
a view to obtaining a more dis
passionate perspective of the po-
litical scene than he can obtain

policies that he has supported
are the policies that you urged.
The record is so clear that the
wayfaring man thought a fool
may read.
TYDINGs FOR ECONOMY
Mr.. Tydings has stood for
economy in the Senate and has
voted against various and sun
dry of your spending measures.
Do you remember, Mr.. President.
what you said in 1892?
do you remember that you
said in Chicago that you &C.
cepted every word in the plat
form there adopted? Do you re-
member that this Democratic
platform promised to accom-
plish a saving of not less than
Is per cent in the cost Of Fed
eral government
In light Of your pronounce
ments and record in 1882, Mr..
President, will you candidly ex-
plain how and when Mr.. Tyd-
ings ceased to be a Democrat
and became a Republican-un-
less, indeed, you think a Demo
crat is one who changes his
mind whenever you change
yours?"

SALE OF WASHERS
BETTER IN JUNE
Dealers Stocks at Low Ebb and
Demand Is Now Forcing
New Orders.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-After declin-
ing for almost year, household
washer sales showed a marked i'm
provement in June, after allowance for
seasonal variation, according to La
Rue Applegate in the current issue OF
the Annalist.
Fortunately, the outlook for wash
ers is considerably better than the
sales record" he says. Trade reports
indicate that at present retail washer
sales are about twice as large as man
ufacturers shipments and that dealer
stocks are scraping bottom. Should
the retail sales, trend hold a few
months longer the dealers would be
forced to turn to the manufacturers
for additional machines Another
favorable feature of the washer situa-
ton is the firm price structure. In the
first half Of this year 375 per cent of
all washers sold cost more than $40,
as compared with the 1887 percentage
OF 42.6. The industry now is rela-
lively safe from another invasion of
poor, loW-priced washers.
In April of this year, sales of cleo
trio ironers sank to the lowest level
since 1888, but moderate improvement
was witnessed in May and in June
lroner sales rose sharply.
There appears to be an unusually
large potential market for ironers."

Construction Industry Is

Economist Says.
Speciai Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Aug. l5.-Not since
1929 has the volume Of sketches and
plans on the drafting boards Of archi-
tects and engineers been so large as
they are this midsummer. says l.. Seth
Schnitman. consulting economist and
formerly statistician of F. w. Dodge
Corp, in an article entitled Better
Times Ahead for Construction" which
appears in the August II issue of the
financial World. The construction
industry is getting ready to 60 places,
according to Mr. Schnitman, who says
that if only half Of the planned struc-
lures and facilities ultimately take
form we can count on a much higher
level Of construction activity Just.
ahead.
"Of all major fields, construction
resisted the forces of recession in
1878 better than did any other in
dustry," Mr.. Schnitman states. With
business and industry again beginning
to sit up and take nourishment the
depressing forces which operated to
interrupt the upward course of the
construction cycle are being disspelled.
The national income. lately in a down.
ward spiral. has now not only stopped
declining but again is beginning slow
trek back toward levels from which it
recently had fallen. Maladjustments
between construction costs and rentals
are being gradually leveled. Eviction
suits for nom payment of rents are no
longer mounting. Even foreclosures
OF real estate are beginning to make
more favorable contrasts with a year
ago. And the pressures of idle invest
ment funds are reasserting themselves.
Here are coming events that are
casting large shadows before them in
the currently swelling totals of new
plans for structures of every descrip-
ton. From tourist cabins and modest
summer bungalows to mammoth pub
lie housing projects; from modern
country schools to additions to our
plants OF higher learning; from farm
to-town roads to superhighways; from
food-control projects to publicly

owned power systems, the story is
pretty much the same. Only business
and industry are as yet moving eau
tiously in their constructional plans
for the future And even this "a un.
derstandable. for commercial and In
dustrial activity must evidence an en-
during virility before new plans for
additional floor space assume impos-
ing proportions.
For the third quarter of 1888 con-
struction work to be started or placed
under contract should come within
striking distance Of the figure OF al
most $sls,o0o,ooo shown for the third
quarter OF 1887 1t would not be sur
prising to see it exceed that figure by
as much as per cent"
Too many hurdles yet remain be-
fore the construction levels Of the
middle 1920s can recur, Mr.. schnit-
man concludes, but one thing appears
certain, out Of the appraisal OF cur
rent facts and forces, and that is that
better times are ahead for the con-
struction industry.

WALLACE HINTS
WHEAT.SUBS|DY
World Surplus Pushes U. S
Toward Plan to Aid
Export Farmers.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
A world wheat surplus is pushing
Secretary Wallace toward some action
which informed persons said today
might develop into a proposal to
subsidize wheat exports.
Mr.. Wallace hinted at such An
idea in an A. A. A. talk last week
and, it was said. has discussed it
with a few associates and Secretary
of State Hull.
Since wheat crops are generally
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. nations this
year will have for sale about twice
as much as buying countries need
Mr.. Wallace views the situation IS
acute.
In the past Secretary Hull has
opposed the theory of export SUBJ
sides, under which exporters would
be permitted to sell abroad at prices
low enough to meet foreign compe-
tition. The Government would sub
sidize them to the extent of the
difference between these prices and
the higher domestic figure
Mr.. Hull has contended such subsi-
dies Lead to foreign retaliation and
thereby raise trade barriers.
