sSIn Dodd We Trust" Capital Liberals Say, Backing Son
 Of Ambassador for Congress
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Politics has it's less grim aspects at times and so we have to tell you how capital New Dealers are trying to elect a Congressman of their own choosing
 Of course any schoolboy knows that the national capital has no vote and no Congressmen, but what most schoolboys don't know is that just across the Potomac is Alexan- dria, in Virginia, where many Washingtonians live. And in Alex andria there is a Congressman. He is Rep. Howard w. Smith, Con- seryative in the sense that Senators Glass and Byrd are Conservative and group of Washington Liberals are after him.
 Their candidate is Prof. William E. Dodd Jr., son of the former Am bassador to Germany who began denouncing the Nazis while he was still in Berlin and has contin- ued it since.
 Many of these Washington Lib erals never had chance to cam- paign for a Congressman before. They have lived in or about Wash ington all their lives, where the elements of precinct politics are overlooked. The result is that cam- paigning for Dodd and against Smith has become almost a parlor game.
 Representative Smith is for mer judge and solid citizen with two or three terms in Congress be- hind him. Dodd, no playboy Lib

TERROR|STS OF HOLY LAND ARE
 RULED BY EXILE
Orders Are Given by Arab ian Big Shot, Banish-
 ed Fl Multi

JERUSALEM, July 25.-Haj Amin Effendi Al Husseini, Palestine $ exiled Fl Multi, sits in a big house in Al-zok, near Beirut, and stirs the Arab world with a long-handled spoon.
 Reliable reports from Beirut say he has built up as Well-financed an organiZa tion as he had before he stole away from Palestine last October, after hiding from the Brit ish authorities in the holy Mosque of Omar
 The Beirut stories tell of flow of money to the house in Al-zok, as the Multi holds his court and carries on-by remote control-the continuing terrorist activities in Palestine, where royal commission is trying to shape a new partition plan.
 They Couldn't Agree
 The first scheme for dividing Palestine into Arab, Jewish and British-mandated states pleased nobody.
 For almost two months the com mission, headed by Sir John Wood head. has been interviewing govern ment officials, private individuals and official representative of the Jewish Agency, all in secret ses- sion. Arabs have refused to appear.
 Meanwhile British troops are try ing to keep the Mufti's terrorists on the run. Late in May thousands of soldiers moved secretly into the Galilee and Samaria districts, cut ting a swath right down the center of Palestine, to keep the terrorists out of the villages and force them further north in order to eject them completely.
 Construction of an electrified wire fence along the Lebanon, Syria and Palestine borders is proceeding rap idly to keep terrorists out.
 Anti British Plotting
 Not only does Haj Amin control the Arab brigands who roam the Palestine hills, but he has begun to take an active part in Syrian, Iraquian and even Egyptian affairs.
 One report tells of a meeting at Haj Amin's house at which it was decided to allocate $25,O00 for the purpose of fostering anti British and anti-Jewish propaganda in the Arab press in Arab countries; to establish new propaganda centers in Baghdad, Mosul and Basra; and to bring pressure to bear on the government of Iraq and Saudi Arabia to take a more active in- terest in Palestine.
 From his house in Al-Zok mes- sengers go out over the Arab world to buy arms and ammunition, to recruit brigands, and to stir up trouble against the British.
 Frontiers Kept Open
 There are stories which purport to give evidence that the funds at the Mufti's command are ample to keep the Syrian and Turkish from tiers open to get money, arms and into the Palestine hills,

 It marks another year of Amer icas reluctant retreat from the world wheat market-a retreat that began to take a definite trend in l930.
