DEFIANT JUDGE.
STIRS CRISIS IN
pENNA. POLITICS
Legislature Acts Today
On Probe

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. z
UN.S0 The Pennsylvania legis.
lature, meeting in extraordinary
session, prepared to convene again
today after a weekend recess that
saw its controversial grand jury
legislation challenged by Demo
cratic county judge.
The challenge was made by
Judge Paul N. Schaeffer, sent here
by the State supreme coure to SUI
perviSe a grand jury investigation
of the little New Deal" admins
tration of Gov. George H. Earle.
Although outlawed by the Demo-
cratic-controlled legislature, the
grand jury probe is still scheduled
to open next Monday.
THE NEXT MOVE
The next move in a situation
which is rapidly taking on the as
poets of a momentous "constitu.
tional crisis" was up to the legis-
| lature.
First on its program today was
the naming by House Speaker
Roy E. Furman of the committee
which the legislature decreed
should conduct a public investiga.
ton of the Earle administration
in place of the planned secret
grand jury inquiry.
Immediately facing the House
committee was Judge Schaeffer's
order forbidding the district at
torney of Dauphin county and
prospective grand jury witnesses
from testifying before it. At the
same time Judge Schaeffer inn
pounded all grand jury evidence.
HOUSE WILL GO AHEAD
Attorney General Guy K. Bard,
when questioned, said:
II presume the house will go
ahead with its plans to set up a
committee, meet, name its coun.
sci, and issue subpenas for wit.
nesses. Then we'll see what
happens.
An inkling of what may tran
spire then was seen in Bard's
added statement that II don't see
where Schaeffer or any Judge
finds the authority to tell Shelley
or Charley Marigotti they should
not appear and testify before q
legislative committee"

sary, or unless II change my
mind"
The governor left no doubt in
the mind of his hearers, however.
that he woud not hesitate to defy
the court order in case he con
SiderS such a move necessary.

Battle Starts Early

Downstate counties reported a
light vote during the morning. In
rural sections particularly there
was little evidence of unusual in
terest in the fight.
But directly across the river
from Washington workers for both
sides were out in force. Cars were
bringing voters to the polls in a
steady stream, and the battle was
on in earnest.
Few of the thousands of Gov
ernment workers living in nearby
Virginia took time to vote before
leaving for their desks in Wash
ington.
Representative Smith cast his
vote in his home ward-the Fifth
in Alexandria.

DODD AND SMITH
N E E 7; LATTER
SPURNS PICTURE.
Refuses Pose With Foe
For Cameraman

Personal feeling engendered be-
tween the candidates in the Dodd-
Smith campaign was reflected mo-
mentarily today when Representa-
tive Smith and his Loudoun
county opponent met by coinci-
dence at the Fifth ward polling
place in Alexandria
Judge Smith had just arrived to
cast his ballot when Dodd, max
ing the rounds of Alexandria be-
fore leaving for Bluemont to cast
his own vote, dropped in to look
things over.
SMITH BALKS
When photographers suggested
that the pair pose together, Dodd
expressed a willingness to do so,
but Smith baked. He had repeat
edly refused during the campaign
to appear on the same platform
with his opponent, and as the
contest warmed up the two in
dulged in pointed personal refer
ences which left little room for
amenities on election day.
In a radio broadcast last night,
Dodd had accused Smith of "un-
truths" and deliberate falsehood"
in campaign statements.
It was announced during the
day that tonight's returns will be
broadcast from Dodd and Smith
headquarters in Alexandria. Loud
speakers were being installed at
various points also for the benefit
of crowds expected to gather
downtown to hear the results.
DODD WORKERS BUSY
Although the Democratic or
ganization was active for Smith
throughout the district, Smith
headquarters in Alexandria were
fairly quiet all day, the organiza-
ton work having been done be-
forehand.
At Dodd headquarters. in a
second-floor room on Alfred Street,
workers came and went, being
sent out on fresh assignments as
fast as they came in,
Scores of cars were in use
carrying voters to the polls. The
Dodd organization had three or
four in every ward in Alexandria
and one or two to a precinct else
where. They insisted twice as
many were being used for Smith.
BIG ABSENTEE VOTE
One Of the largest absentee
votes recorded in the history of
Alexandria was received. Election
officials revealed that more than
400 persons had cast their ballots
by mail. This figure, it was pointed
out, is comparable with the mail
vote usually received in national
elections.
Smith workers engaged in check
ing the votes at the six election
wards in Alexandria took no
chances on sunstroke, functioning
under huge beach umbrellas and
makeShift awnings. Leg work
was made unnecessary by installa-
tion of telephones in the various
wards, while the general comfort
of the workers was insured by the
presence of comfortable chairs,
tables, and plenty of ice water.
This scene was in sharp con-
traSt to that in the Dodd camps in
the several wards, although Dodd's
checkers were as busy marking up
the voting list as those in the
Smith camp.

Fauquier counties. In Warrenton,
with 200 votes recorded, it was be-
lieved the day would bring out
twice this number, out of TOO reg
iStered.
All figures on the number of
voters registered include Repub-
licans as well as Democrats. It
was thus apparent that the Demo
Gratis eligible to vote in the pri-
mary were coming out in greater
numbers than Virginia has ever
known in a contest of this kind.
A quick count is expected after
the polls close tonight, so that the
results should be known early in
the evening. There are only two
names on the ballot-Smith's and
Dodd's - making it one of the
shortest in the history of Virginia
voting.

EX-ENvOY VOTES

Former Ambassador William E.
Dodd, who represented the United
States in Germany long enough
to become an ardent anti-Nazi
sent an absentee ballot for his
son from Cleveland.
He broke his silence on the con-
greSSional contest for the first
time Sunday, picturing the pri-
mary as the latest expression of
a historical struggle between reac-
tionary and progressive democ-
racy in Virginia, and likewise =
test of democratic government
which he declared would be
watched throughout the world.

revolving slowly about her.
That queer thick blackneSs was
sweeping over her again, clouding
her eyes, dulling her senses. And
this time it didn't go away. She
slumped to the floor and lay there
in small, quiet. pitiful heap.
CHAPTER XII
The month of Decem er
brought Peter Kent increasing
work and fatigue and little pay.
Laborers were laid off, some were
forced on relief and their FAM
lilies suffered and fell i'll. Babies
had colds and measles and walled
through the nights.
Peter wished, sitting there in
the deep amethyst shadows Of
his office, that Isabel would come
back from Washington. She had
been gone two weeks now and had
written only once.
A short letter, in which she had
said that Washington was per.
fectly fascinating at Christmas
time and that Marcella and Hans
friends had been sweet about tax
ing her to gay parties which had
greatly surprised her, for Mar.
celia and Hans had returned home
as soon as they had heard Of the
horrible death Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Drake.
HIGH LIFE
"Peter, darling" Isabel had writ
ten In her clear black hand, "you
won't begin to live until you've
been to an embassy reception.
Last night a crowd Of us went to
the Egyptian Legation.

glamour Of it all. There was
champagne flowing like water and
everything imaginable to eat, all

could only go on like this-like
some one in beautiful dream
and never wake up!"
Isabel didn't, Peter thought.
mean half she said. He was
insane about her, out Of his sober
head. He'd always love her. He
couldn't visualize life without her,
and din't try.
He knew that perhaps she
wasn't the wife for young doc
tor with his own way to make.
that she was Shadowy threat
to his career. He knew she should
marry a man Of great wealth in
order that she might have q suit
able setting for her beauty.
But now that he had captured
this lovely creature, had her
promise in marriage, the road
ahead seemed clear. Isabel would
forget her wild cravings for money
and social prominence when she
had children, he told himself rea-
sonably. He had said something
like this to Isabel once.

The champions score gives lie
to the argument that Cherry Hills
was not fair test. As a matter OF
fact, it offered the finest test @
golf of any open tournament site
in the past decade. 1t called for
all the shots in the bag and the
execution of them with the head
as we'll as the hands.
The open was brought to the
west as an experiment. 1t proved a
noble one.
Cherry Hills officials turned in a
maSterful bit of organizing which
was made all the more remarkable
because of its freedom from red
tape. The city of Denver and the
state of Colorado responded with
the third largest attendance in the
history of the contest.
In short-a great tournament and

NEW YORK. June l3 - up -
The paramount issue in the MA

way back into the National League
lead by winding up their western
campaign with five victories in
their last six games.
Cleveland. with a 3l2 game lead
when the team came to New York,
moved back home today after TAX
ing two straight lickings from the
Yanks. The Yanks beat Cleveland's S

folded before 43.7O2 fans yester-
day.
In the west the Giants divided
a doubleheader with the St. Louis
Cardinals to maintain their two
