Primaries
Continued From First Page.)

States, like Gov. Davey, were candi-
dates for another term.
President Roosevelt will be back In
the United States before the votes
are counted tonight. The results OF
the senatorial contests may influence
him in deciding whether to oppose
openly those Senators, still facing prl-
mary contests, who have fought a
major share of his program.
There is speculation as to whether
he will comment about the Georgia
senatorial contest in two speeches
Thursday. Senator Walter George,
FREQUENT administration critic, is op-
posed by Lawrence Camp, a New
Dealer, and former Gov. Eugene Tai
madge. Senator George received the
Endorsement last night Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
William Green, A. F. of L. president,
said the federation had indorsed Sen
ator George as having 100 per cent
labor record
Mr.. Green said he had sent his in
dorsement to the president Of the
Georgia State Federation Of Labor in
a letter dated August 4.
His action aligned the A. F Of l..
and c. I. O. on opposite sides in the
Georgia primary Labor's Nom Partisan
League, c. I. O.'s political branch,
had put Senator George on its black
list" and marked him for defeat.
In contrast to the A. F. of LIS in
dorsement the league said that on IL
Senate votes which it regarded as
vital to labor Senator George had
been wrong seven times and right
only three. On the others, 1t added,

ciates made no formal claim against
the Government for damages to their
holdings in the flooded dam reservoir,
DR.. Morgan testified T. v. A. Directors
David E. Lilienthal and Harcourt A.
Morgan agreed to conciliate informal
claims.

move.

any deception or fraud in the case.
