Rooseuelt Expected To Announce Preference n Senatorial Race
New Dealers Claim He's Really For Koppleman;
 LOnergan Active

Hartford, Conn, August IS. - (UP) - Ardent New Dealers in Connecticut today awaited an expected indica- ton from President Roose- welt as to his preference in the bitter U. s. senatorial contest being waged between conservative Senator Angus tine Lonergan and New Dealer Herman P. Kopple- mann.
 Administration supporters here said privately the President would be for Kopplcmann "in a minute" If U. 8. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings has not issued a state ment in MT. Roosevelt's absence supporting the candidacy of the in- cumbent Lonergan.
 These quarters said the President may be seeking way to indicate his preference for Kopplemann without directly demanding Loner- gan's purge" and thu8 completely overthroWing Cummings' stand.
 Accuse Vehcmently
 New Dealers were vehement in their accusations Cummings did not speak for the President when the attorney general announced his support for Lonergan.
 Meantime Kopplemann took his fight for the senatorial nomination directly to the people,. He pre- pared to address a mass meeting at New Britain tonight at which he will ask the audience whether it wants him to Continue the fight" for the senate seat now held by Lonergan.
 The first district congressman will enter the primaries at New Britain August % in daring move in oppo- sition to the Democratic machine in that city. A defeat for Kopplemann observers said, would be disastrous; victory, definite boost for his candidacy. New Britain has 20 delegates.
 Lonergan Returns
 Senator Lonergan, meanwhile, re- turned from a foray into Fairfield County.
 His friends said he had "scwed up" the 2l8 delegates from Fairfield County in two days of endeavor there. Loncrgan conferred length fly with major party leaders in the territory and appeared satisfied with results
 Warning Bridgeport factions in the Democratic party made peace short ly after the senator's arrival, and the city's 57 delegates, although they probably will go uninstructcd to the September convention. were claimed by the Loncrgan camp.
 Complimentary Vote
 A complimentary vote will be cast for Archibald McNeil. Bridgeport leader. also campaigning on eNw Deal platform for the senate. Then, Lonergan supporters said, the dele gation will throw to the senator.
 Kopplemann adhcrcnts denied this. They admitted the McNcil complimentary vote probably would occur, but beyond that nothing was settled' and Kopplemann "has just as good a chance as anyone of getting the delegation"
 Despite these undcrcover activi- ties, leaders in both the Lonergar and Kopplcmann camps admitted presidential statement would have q vital effect on the Connecticu situation.
 If it came, 1t would change tht entire complexion of the campaign and enable Kopplcmann to present his candidacy as definitely favored by the White House. q position Inc cannot publicly take at present.

Dictator Nations Seen Driving Wedge Between Britain. France
By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

| 1NLkA OHA NAIC OsoAA OWAA EA NlgAANAGAAb
 London, Dec. 16-That much described Berlin Rome axis, uniting the two totalitarian states of Europe is performing some strange gyra- tions these days. While the German end prods England, the Italian end prods France. @HA- At the same time, the Germans say pleasant things about France and the Italians say pleasant things about England. ~ There are some who see in this double game a strategic move by 1 the axle partners, Hitler and Mus Solini, to drive 8 wedge between France and England which would make it easier for them to demand and receive prizes as the price for peace.
 Hitler and Prime Minister Cham berlain of England, after the Munich meeting at which the carving of Czechoslovakia was agreed to, sign ed a scrap of paper in which the two statesmen expressed the pious resolution that their two nations should not go to war with each other. Chamberlain thought lot of it. In fact, he proudly said he suggested it. When he landed back in England, he waved it and had himself photographed with it. l GERMANS PLATTER ! FRENCH, PLAY ENGLISH | l DioI@A oTko. Yr;lIo.. those who play jackals to his lion began roaring against Eden, Chur- chill, Duff Cooper and other British statesmen who did not view Nazi- land through Chamberlain's rosy glasses. Then came the appalling pogrom of the Jews. The, British press and British statesmen de- nounced it. But they did not do so i'll stronger terms than did the most of the French press and prom inent Frenchmen.
 The sequel is very queer. No bitter taunts have been hurled by the controlled, Shackled German press at France, her behavior in her colonies, her statesmen. To the con- trary, Germany and France have signed an agreement to keep the peace.
 While bouquets are thus being tossed at France, the German press and German orators are hurling brick-bats and broken bottles at England. The tenor of the thing is that the English 'fhypocrites" should be the last to be outraged by what Germany is doing to her Jews, when right now England is machine gun- ming Arabs in Palestine. German writers are busy digging up stories of England's past in accommodating her empire.
 The performance of Mussolini and his Black Shirt followers is just the contrary. Nice words are being said about England and Chamberlain since Britain has recognized the Italian conquest of Ethiopia. Still nicer words are being written and spoken about

the promised visit of Chamberlain to Mussolini next January.
 ITALIANS DEMAND
 FRENCH. TERRITORY !
 At the same time pains have been taken to show that the two Latin sisters" are still on very bad terms. Recently Count Ciano, Mussolini's son in = law, who is Foreign Minister, made speech to the Italian Chamber of Depu- ties. In that chamber, and all over Italy, .obedient Fascists were told what to. do and did it. The cards they received told them they were to shout in chorus" Tunis- ia, Corsica, Nizza!' They yelled it-and are still yelling it-with a vengeance.
 What did those three shouted words mean? Well, 'Nizza" Ital- ian for the pleasant French Riv- iera city of Nice and it's immedi- ate hinterland, used to belong to the Italian House of Savoy. Mus solini now wants this Alpine bar rier between French and Italian territory returned to Italy.
 Corsica is an important Medi- terranean island inhabited mainly by people of Italian blood. It

The years 1925 to 1929 are gener- all. regarded as years Of amazing and rising prosperity. The years 1883 to 1888 are usually looked upon as years of great depression.

have one suggestion. The old pipe line, the financial system once used, was a bad one. It needed repairing. Too much of the savings sent through it never reached new industry, but leaked off into the hands of promoters and other parasites along the way. It was necessary to rebuild that pipe line. But it was of the most imperious importance that it should be rebuilt quickly.
 Instead the rebuilding of it has
 been going on since 1883. It has
 been cluttered I'D with the work
 men, the machinery used for re-
 build.,g it. The job has been
 dragged out.
 A wise administrator would have seen the need for tackling this job first thing in 1883 and getting 1t done. within year or two end then throwing the pipe line open for public traffic. That pipe line is public highway. You cannot expect traffic to flow along pub lie highway which is perpetually under repair. That is one of the reasons for the lack of traffic along that line.
