DES MONIES, Iowa, June 3.-With
Representative Otha D. Wearin now
frankly claiming the Roosevelt ad-
ministration has to be interested be-
cause its welfare is at stake" Iowa's
Democrataic senatorial combat be-
tween him and Senator Guy NJ Gill
lette today sizzled toward a decision
In the Monday primaries.
Gov. Nelson G. Kraschel, friendly
to the candidacy of Senator Gillette
prepared to drop all semblance OF
neutrality in radio address tonight
over four Iowa stations.
Mr.. Wearin charged in Davenport
last night Senator Clyde L. Herring
Democrat, of Iowa had asked him tc
sign joint statement of unity" with
Senator Gillette, his principal foe IN
the primary battle.
The Representative said he ignored
the telephone communication with Mr.
Herring in which. he claimed, the
Senator asserted President Roosevelt
suggested the unity move.
President Not Out.
1.-The statement itself would have
created the impression that the Presi-
dent is out of the picture SO far as
the Iowa primary is concerned" Mr.
Wearin stated. In reality, the issue
is so clear cut that the administration
has to be interested because its welfare
Is at stake"
The Governor said his address would
concern some important policies and
practices of government, particularly
with reference to the primary sena-
torial nomination" including hap
penings to date and their probable ef-
fects.'
The senatorial primary battle today
was at stage where colleagues on the
Democratic State tickets were at odds
over the issue.
Political Termites.
At Dubuque Senator Gillette last
night decried Tommy Corcoran and
his crowd of non-Iowans" for attempt
ing to influence Iowa Democrats in
the selection of a senatorial nominee
Mr.. Wearin, Mr.. Gillette declared
has the support of Mr.. Corcoran, a
New Deal strategist; Gov. Phillip La
Toilette Of Wisconsin, Representative
Maury Maverick of Texas, w. P. A
Chief Harry Hopkins of New York and
Homer Martin of Detroit, president of
the United Auto Workers Union.
He characterized them as this gang
of political termites, who are even now
engaged in boring from within in de-
stroying the ediflce that voters of the
Nation have erected on a Democratic
foundation, and even now are planning
on taking over, if possible, the control
of the Democratic party organization
in 1e40."

been vigorously critical of administra-
ton of the labor relations act.
The attitude of the c. l. o. toward
the study was disclosed today in a let
ter from John L. Lewis, chairman, to
Secretary Of Labor Perkins. The letter
follows:
Some days ago representative Of
your department inquired whether a
C. I. o. representative, now in Europe,
could act upon a departmental COM
mission to secure information on Brit
ish labor laws. Presumably, this in
formation was for the use of your de-
partment. The answer was affirmative.
Newspaper stories today indicate
that the information will be used as
a basis for modification of the Wagner
Labor Relations Act. The Committee
for Industrial Organization cannot
sanction such an enterprise, nor per-
NIT its representative to serve on
such commission. 1t will oppose
amendment or modification of the
Wagner Act"
Law Widely Criticized.
Although the identity of the C. L.
o. official referred to was not dis
closed. it is known that A. D. Lewis,
brother of the c. I. o. chairman and
an official of the United Mine Workers,
is now attending world coal con-
ference at Geneva, Switzerland.
Widespread criticism of the law and
It's administration has been met by
equally vigorous defense in the past
from members Of the board and from
Senator Wagner, and quiet but power
full efforts to have the legislation
thrown open to amendment during the
present session of Congress apparently
have been beaten down by the ad-
ministration forces. In fact, to avoid
opening the law to attack on the floor
OF House and Senate, bill to require
compliance by firms handling Gov
ernment contracts is being treated as
an amendment to the Walsh Healey
Act rather than to the labor relations
law.
The British act, in its present form,
dates from 1927 although British la
Dor has benefited from statutory def
milton of privileges for many years pre-
vious.
British Provisions.
Resulting largely from the reaction
to the general strike of 1926, the pres
ent British law contains the following
among its main provisions:
l. Sympathetic strike action, if taken
to coerce the government by inflict-
ing hardship on community, is illegal
unless it is within the industry in
which the original dispute arose.
2. Primary strikes under the same
conditions, when they are not con-
cerned with disputes over hours,
wages or conditions of employment,
also are illegal.
8. Lockouts are illegal
4. Criminal liability is imposed on
union officials or pickets for partici-
patton in such illegal strikes.
5. Trades unions may register with
the government, but this is not COM
pulsory.
8. Use of union funds for political
purposes must be sanctioned by the
union membership.

The Soviet government is
carrying out a "merciless"
purge of japanese spies and
Trotskyist elements who had
wormed their way into high places
in the government and armed
forces in Far Eastern Siberia, ac-
cording to Soviet advices received

The purge was disclosed in a
report of a Communist party con-
ference for the maritime province
area, published in she July l6
issue of the Khabarovsk newspa-
per, Pacific Ocean Star.
The report said that Dictator
Josef Stain personally had taken
the initiative in directing a "mer-
ciless outrooting of all kinds OF
enemies, wherever they hid and
whatever masks they wore"

Senate Resolution when
Coolidge Term Ended
Recalled at Capital

WASHINGTON, July 27.
(UP)-A Republican-Demo-
cratic coalition effort in the
senate to foreclOse third
term possibilities for Presi-
dent Roosevelt appeared likely to
develop today from agitation over
his 1910 plans.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made no cate
gorical statement whether he will
be a 1910 candidate or retire. His
public utteranceS, however, have
intimated a desire to leave office.
But some of his associates and
supporters have suggested directly
or indirectly that circumstances
might compel him to make the
race in 1910. Partly for that rea-
son the nation has broken out in
rash of third term comment. 1t
need only continue at its present
volume to assure both house and
senate discussion of the matter
when congress next meets.
There have been intimations
from some Republicans that Demo-
cratic assistance would be welcome
and probably would be sought in
any move to prevent a third term
candidacy. When a third term
storm blew around Calvin Coolidge
in 1898 the senate expressed itself
in a resolution not at all binding
upon any nomination convention,
but one which doubtless would
have been taken into consideration
if Mr.. Coolidges name had been
put before the Republicans in
Chicago that year. Adopted by a
vote of Sc to 26, the resolution
said:
1T is the sense of the senate
that the precedent established by
Washington and other presidents
of the United States in retiring
from the presidential office after
their second term has become, by
universal concurrence, a part of
our Republican system of govern
ment, and that any departure from
