A fleet Of Spanish nationalist war

Evidently intending to finish off
the Government destroyer, which
was damaged badly in a recent
naval battle, the craft closed in
menacingly. But the British de-
stroyer Isis, anchored off Gibral-
tar, signalled an alarm with
screaming sirens and the vessels

series of counter-suggestions which
will serve as basis for discussions
the next few days.
It was believed that in view of
Hitler's rejection of Benes' pro
posal for a truce the plan drawn
up by Benes and his advisers has
been virtually shelved and the
proclamation regarding it, which
the Czech government had prom.
ised, indefinitely postponed"
Late yesterday Lord Runciman
and President Benes had a lengthy
conference during which Benes in
formed the mediator of the de.
tails Of his talk with Deputy
Ernst Kundt and DR.. Wilhelm
SebekowSky, two of Henlein' s
aides.
PROGRESS REPORTED
It was indicated the meeting
between the President and the
two SudetenS made some progress
It lasted four hours and recessed
with a promise that 1t would be
resumed on Monday.
Following the various converse,
tions on Monday, it is expected a
protocol will be issued outlining
fully the trend Of the various con.
ferences and revealing the prog
ress toward a settlement achieved
up to that time.
It is believed that this protocol
in the framing Of which the
Sudetens undoubtedly will have q
hand-will replace the proclama'
ton that Benes previously had
planned to issue.

PENSIONS
GAIN SEEN
BSIl'dick Eyes
200 Seats
In House
By WILLIAM S. NEAL

N42NsSsJ n ASANSA
In the old-age pension movement
today predicted the election Of
200 members OF the House and
several Senators on the issue Of
supplanting the old-age pension
provisions of the far-flung Federal
Social Security program.
Representative Usher Burdick
(RO Of North Dakota, backer Of
the Townsend plan, asserted that
q careful canvass made by old'age
pension groups indicates the cleo
ton Of 200 House members.
AIDED DOWNEY
The victory OF Sheridan Downey
in the California Democratic sena-
torial primary with the backing Of
the $3.50 every Thursday" group
was simply an addition to victories
in many other primary fights,
Burdick said.
THE old-age pension provisions
Of the Social Security act are not
adequate and must fall" said
Burdick. There are scores Of
candidates running as 100 per
cent New Dealers who also demand
higher pensions.
while Sheridan Downey may
not be for the Townsend plan
right on the nose, he is for a
substantial and fairly distributed
pension. DR.. F. E. Townsend spent
so days campaigning for Downey
In California and nominated him.
PLEDGE LIBERALIZATION
" am told that there is not a
candidate for Congress in Ohio,
on either the Democratic or Re
publican ticket, who has not
pledged himself for liberalization
Of old-age pensions"
The Townsend forces are back
ing a bill calling for 2 per cent
transactions tax, with the pro-
ceeds paying whatever pension is
possible. They hope it will be
5000 a month.
In addition the general welfare
group, which broke with the
Townsend movement, Is backing
Q similar but more moderate pro-
gram. An Ohio plan, called "vaca-
tion with pay" for the aged, pro-
NdeS higher pensions, as does the
Pope plan being supported in the
Southwest.
Under the Social Security pro-
gram. the Federal Government
now matches State old-age pension
funds up to SIS month, thus
encouraging pensions of $50 a
month for the needy aged.
SEEK COALITION
The pension groups, Burdick
predicted, will seek a coalition in
the new Congress with a view to
agreeing upon plan which can
receive a majority in Congress.
Beginning with the nomination
Of Senator Pepper in Florida,
New Dealer backed by the Town
Sendites, the old-age pension
groups point to victories in
Oregon, California and Idaho as
backing their claim of great gains.
Administration leaders, who are
planning for expansion Of the
Social Security program in the
next Congress, scott at claims
that anything near a majority can
be obtained by the Townsend or
allied groups. Comparatively few
Democratic Senatorial or House
nominees, they assert, have
pledged themselves to disruption
Of the Social Security program.

+. D. MAY BACK.
REPUBLICAN FOR.
W HITE HOUSE!'
Dem andS Successor
Must Be Liberal
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt does not
confine his support Of TRUE
Liberals" to the congressional
contests.
He will back a Republican liberal
for President If it comes to q
point where he has to do so.
This is the statement made to-
day by the Presidents closest
friend in administrative matters
and reflects the views Of those
who have been working with the
President for years.
The President is known by his
intimates to be worried over the
Presidency; it can be said on high
authority he does not want to sub
ject himself to the gruelling ex-
perience of another campaign-an-
other four years.
The third-term aspirations are
nurtured by others than F. D. R.;
and those Others" are the New
Dealers in the area occupied by
Harry Hopkins, Thomas G. Cor
coran, etc.
THIRD TERMITES"
The practical politicians Of the
Democratic National Committee
are not favoring a third term and
are expected to gang up" on the
Third Termites," as they are
called now.
THAT is what is worrying the
President" said the close friend
who is responsible for these dis
closures. He knows there Is small
chance Of an advanced and liberal
candidate coming through the
Democratic National Convention
and he will not back any Democrat
but liberal; he will not back any
candidate but liberal.
HE knows that there will be
stacked against him the favorite
sons of many states with well-oiled
state machines. First-Byrd, OF
Virginia; George, of Georgia; Cot
ton Ed Smith and the old Ritchie
machine, now operating in Mary
land for Tydings.
He will have Garner against
him and he knows it: Clark, OF
Missouri, as well.
PROBLEM OF N. Y.
"The great problem and the
political puzzle the President con
templates today Is New York
State. Lehman will not help the
President; Farley doesn't want to
be Governor but he wants to say
who shall be Governor. There is
every chance New York, with its
huge bloc of convention delegates
will be against Roosevelt or
against any candidate Roosevelt
would endorse"
The Presidents naive endorse
ment Of any and all Republican
liberals-if any-is expected to
bring out the undercover fight on
him by the Democratic National
Committee members who don:
like "the purge"
F.ARLEY'S POSITION
Heading the committee is the
loyal-to-R o Sevelt and loyal-to-
the. Democratic Committee Jim"
Farley Where does he stand?
It can be said authoritatively
for Farley that he will stick by
the Administration and the party
through the coming congressional
campaign and will do all he can
to select Democrats of any brand
Following the election Jim
Farley's friends know he intends
to take stock Of the situation and
see whether or not he should take
one Of the big jobs now offered
him.
At any rate, it is interesting to
know that the Democratic Ma
tional Committee is now definitely
assured that Farley will not relin-
quish his post as chairman; he
will be in command in 1910.
which means that Farley will be
out to knife any third-term aspira.
tions if his committee associates
don't approve.

Touches Up Speech

What a fight" they say in
Maryland. what a campaign!"
In the senatorial camps temperS
are touchy and temperament on
display daily. The more mercuric
personalities swing from gloom to
gayety and back again with the
shifting tide Of reports from the
field.
And grimly, President Roosevelt
put the last touches to a speech
to be given to the press a few
short hours before delivery. 1t Is
one which he hopes will convince
MarylanderS that their own Sc
curity and happiness no less than
his depends on their support Of
the Roosevelt program.

Denton Awaits Crowd

With Western Maryland "set"
for Lewis and Southern Maryland
seemingly "set" for TydingS-un-
less the bridge bait catches more
fish than are now in the New Deal
net-the battle will go finally to
the Eastern Shore for decision.
Folks in Denton were tearing
down their fences and putting up
hot-dog and Soft-drink stands in
preparation for feed ing the
throngs expected there Monday.
Business at Shore resorts has not
been too good this year, up to the
present time. There is abundant
evidence that this weekend it will
be too good. One small hostelry
with IS or 20 rooms had applica-
tionS for reservations stacked q
foot high. The best advice for
those who expect to stay on the
Shore over the weekend. as it
looked today, is take your own
tent"

Finishing Touches
Put on Denton
Address

Lewis" will greet the New Deal
generalissimo as he enters Mary
land to take personal charge Of the
fight. The war Of words will reach
it's climax as he makes his Labor
Day speech in Denton Monday.
Along the route to the Eastern
Shore will be fought the Battle OF
Bridges - bridges over the
Potomac, bridges over the bay
bridges and ballyhoo.
Tydings' managers have pro
claimed to the State that the
bridge program is bait to lure votes
for the New Deal and lure profits
for favored New Deal spectators,
headed by Little Davey" Lewis
campaign manager, Kent Mullikin.
Manager Mullikln has replied
that the charge is both silly and
untrue as to his personal interest
in the. projects, and retorted that
everyone in Maryland will benefit
in rising land values, better roads
and better business if the bridge
program goes through.
