BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The entrance of Harry L. Hopkins
w. P. A. administrator, into the lows
senatorial primary contest against
Senator Gillette has doomed all chance
of the passage of bill to create new
Department of Public Welfare, accord.
ing to Democratic Senators. The
creation of such department is part
of President Roosevelt's plan for gov.
ernmental reorganization.
Mr.. Hopkins has been slated for ap.
pointment as head Of the proposed new
major department of the Government
This would mean a place in the Presi.
dents cabinet.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, o.
Montana, who led the coalition which
defeated the court bill, charged in tht
Senate yesterday during the debate
on the spending-le lending bill that Mr.
Hopkins was one of a handful Of mer

Senator Pope, Democrat. of Idaho
an administration supporter, inter

Public officers distributing funds

Cabinet Bill Doomed.
So aroused are the Democratic Sen

the Iowa battle that they will 60 the

ANGLERS USE AUTOS
AS FISHING TACKLE
Hook Wire to Spark Plugs and
Shock Fish, Says Warden,
Worried Over Problem.

BY the Associated Press.
TIFTON, Ga, May 28.-Anglers
using their automobiles instead Of
orthodox tackle to catch fish gave
warden Ienox Henderson a new
worry today.
The method, authorities said. is to
hook a naked wire to a spark plug
and dangle it in the water. Then the
engine is speeded up, generating a
current strong enough to shock nearby
fish into insensibility.
Warden Henderson said the illegal
fishing would result IN a shock for
the fishermen as well when he pre-
sented their names to the grand
Jury.

GERMANS SREOPEN
PARLEYS|NPRAHA
Surprise Conference Stirs
Optimism on Eve of
Town Elections.
BACKGROUND

Czech-Gern,an tension created
by demands OF Sudeten Germans
in CsechosloDakia for autonomy
and by series OF municipal elections
which are rejecting ertent of
Sudetens' potCer. Czechoslopakta
has reinforced her regular army
With reserves in expanding her
gdrrisons along border with Ger
many. Acute situation OF week
ago moderated considerably.
By the Associated Press.
PRAHA, Czechoslovakia. May "a
Czechoslovakia's pro-Nazi German mi
nority and the government suddenly
resumed negotiations today. The sur
prise conference created general op-
timism on the eve of municipal elec-
tions.
The republic tonight was bright with
hope of an eventful understanding
over the autonomy demands of her
3,5OO,000 Sudeten Germans. backed by
Germany in their troublous dealings
with the Praha government.
This was in sharp contrast to the
mood of exactly one week ago when
the country felt on the verge of war
over the Sudeten problem and attend
ant disorders.
Farley Makes Progress.
Today's parley between Premier Mi
Ian Hodza and two Sudeten Germans
actually made some progress toward
the goal of a workable compromise
between the Sudeten German de-
mands and the governments insist
ence upon security for the Czechoslo-
vakian state.
The progress was relatively small,
the chief result of the meeting being
an agreement to convene regularly
from now on and really settle down to
the business of negotiating a perna-
nent peace.
But after the many disappointments
Of the past, the mere fact the peace
parleys were resumed. and the prospect
of their actually continuing, made the
week end much brighter. |,
Tomorrow's balloting in 2.740 COM
munities-700 of them predominantly
German-was the center of popular
interest. It will be the second OF q
series of three municipal elections
Last Sunday $500 communities voted
and, on June IL, 5,760 will 60 to the
polls, 100000 citizens voting in all
With troops already occupying the
border districts in which the majority
of German communities are found,
new measures to insure against po-
litical clashes during the voting con-
sisted largely in shifting OF contin-
gents of eendarmes from one section
to another.
Newspapers as an additional pre-
caution published the official warning
In order to avoid accidents and mis-
fortune, the public is requested not
to approach military objects Or mill
tary sentries."
