It was designed by Miss Elaine Rawlinson of New York City, winner of a nationwide con- test conducted several months ago by the Treasury Department.

Germany and Italy Pressing Little Nation Not to
 Go to Conflict

PRAGUE, Oct. 22.-The General Staff reports the killing of l2 Hun garian terrorists and one Czech gendarme in southern Czechoslo- vakia.
 Czech troops captured a number of other alleged terrorists, seized arms and ammunition and sur rounded eight who made up the remainder of the band.
 Two Czech soldiers were also wounded in a second skirmish.
 Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Czech trops are ready for action along the Hungarian border but the general feeling is that Hungary will not resort to arms to enforce terri torial demands.
 One source said 750,000 Czechs are concentrated on the Czech-Hun- garian frontier and another report declares that nearly half million Hungarian soldiers are facing the Czechs.
 Dispatches from Budapest said Germany and Italy are pressing Hungary to accept the Czech's lat est offer to cede half of the land demanded by Hungary.

Liberals from Conservatives Is Hdrd
 Business, Party Men Say

leadership of President Roosevelt, would run grave risk of cracking up on the rocks of state party or ganizations and state election laws.
 Such laws were planted long ago by the major parties to get a start. In this connection it was re- called that the First Roosevelt lost out both in the convention and in the election when he attempted such move. Tn several states he couldn't even get his name on the ballot.
 Keep in mind that these are not the views of the intense liberals or intense conservatives who might like to see such clear cut party division, even at the expense Of temporary defeat. These opinions come from men whose principal business is seeing to it that their party organizations win elections.

WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-It is fair to report at this point that this business of sorting Liberals from Conservatives is, in the minds of Party Sergeants who must get out the vote, a slow business which may never be completed.
 We asked certain keen-edged vote-wranglers in both major par ty organizations what significance could be attached to the defeat in New York of Representative John J. O'Connor. He is an important House Committee Chairman who didn't suit the administration. O. Connor was left by the primary in the anomalous position of losing the nomination of his own party while winning the Republican nom- nation.
 It was the Admlnlstration's first success in roofing out of the party a man it considered a "conServa- tive" so as to pave the way for electing a liberal That is snailS progress at best; we wanted a smart opinion on whether faster pace might, be expected.

VOTERS HAVEN'T CHOSEN

The trouble is tand most of our sources agreed on this) you can't divide the electorate up into liberal and conservative groups on the basis of national issues. In times past the electorate, responding to a business depression, has thrown out the incumbent, ignoring liberal or conservative principles. Tremen- dous importance attaches also to local issues and local figures.
 One informant related the expe- rience of representatives of one of the prominent straw vote" organi- cations engaged in frequent sam bling of public opinion. The agency was making house to house can vass to determine the popularity of liberal" policies as against conservative" policies. Masses of those visited could not tell the dif- ference.
