 AWAIT RETURNS
Back at White House to See What South CarO-
 lima, California Do
BY LYLE c. WILSON !, United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, August 30. - (UP) President Roosevelt returned to the Capital today to hear returns of the South Carolina and Cali fornia primaries and to organize a punitive expedition against the re- nomination candidacy of conserva- tive Senator Willard E. Tydings, Democrat, Maryland.
 The presidential special arrived from Hyde Park at 8:30 a. m., EST.
 He has urged South Carolina vot- CTS to substitute New Deal Governor Olin D. Johnson for the Veteran Ellison D. Cotton EdD Smith in the senate. MT. Roosevelt favors re- nomination of Senator William G.. McAdoo, Democrat, California, although the New Deal itself is not fundamental issue there.
 To Invade Maryland
 Next Sunday the President will invade Maryland in behalf of Repre- sentative David J. Lewis, New Deal Democrat, who is opposing Tydings for senatorial nomination. He will speak at Denton, Md, Labor Day and, shortly, return to Hyde Park, N. Y.
 MT. Roosevelt has been pulse feeling, or vacationing, most of the time since he left here in early July on a trans-continental jour ney.
 Shortly after he reeled in his fishing line and disembarked from the U. s. s. Houston ill Florida three weeks ago, he spoke in Gorgia and South Carolina against renom- ination candidates of two of the South's elder statesmen, Senator Walter F. George, and Senator Smith. Pausing briefly in Wash ington, MT. Roosevelt extended his opposition to Representative John J. O'Connor, Democrat, N. r., chair man of the House Rules Commit tee, and to Tydings, member of the conservative senate Democratic bloc.

Kindness Almost
 Kills Man, Wife

Middleton, Mass, Aug. 3O- (UP)-A Florida man almost killed himself and wife with kindness-to a mouse. It seems that the mouse had built it's nest in the upholstery of the automobile of Charles J. Hall, 72, of Deland, Fla. Hall decided not to molest the stowaway.
 Yesterday, while driving to- ward home, Hall suddenly dis covered the mouse in his lap. When he brushed it aside with his hand, the mouse landed in Mrs. Halls lap. Mrs. Hall screamed. Hall tried to grab the mouse. The car hit pole.
 The Halls were recovering at a hospital today.

completely free hand in all further moves. "The full limit" it was ex- plained, would be extraordinary ef- forts to settle the Sudeten German problem amicably, with warning to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler that in vasion would mean war into which Britain scarcely could avoid being involved, along with France and other European democracies.
 The British cabinet meeting was held simultaneously with that of the French, and 1t was obvious the two powers were working in close harmony along parallel lines. The French cabinet unanimously ap- proved the policy laid down by Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet, thus, in effect, also giving him a free hand.
 No One Waver:ng
 The debate here showed no mem Der of the government wavering and the main question at issue was the technique of approaching Hitler.
 In view of the various signs of more conciliatory German attitude in the Czech conf1ict-particularly the apparent willingness of Konrad Henlein, Sudeten leader, to negotiate on the basis of Premier Milan Hod- za's new proposals-the British cab met is anxious to avoid making a

RELIEF BECAUSE
FUNDS ARE Low
Miss Hill DisCIoseS
Acute Necessities

The Board of Public Welfare
faced the fact today that hundreds
of local residents are in desperate
need and cannot get assistance
from agencies which were designed
to alleviate their condition.
In an official report to the
board, Miss Alice Hill, director of
the public assistance division, said
inadequate funds had turned away
1893 applicants for aid duling
December alone.
Limitation Of general relief
funds has forced the assistance
division since october 1 to con-
slider only those cases for which
Social Security funds are available,
Miss Hill explained. Such cases
include the needy blind, old-age
assistance and aid for dependent
children.
Some of the applicants came
within these catgories, Miss Hill
said, but did not qualify for re-
lief because they had not resided
here for five of the last nine years
as required by law.
Miss Hill cited two families and
a single person who had been
without food for two days when
they applied for help. Eviction
threatened many of the appli-
cants, she said, and one couple
with five children was evicted.

STORY UNDERWRITING

Not muscle quivered as she
reiterated over and over again
that Ellsworth, not the boy she
was going to marry, was the
bandit.
She had known the Tuppett
boys two years, she said. They were
neighbors in Ardmore.
Ellis and she had planned to get
married, but my folks wouldn't
stand for it." So they decided to
elope. They were to be married
in Georgia.
Her father, she said, worked
when he could get it," He's a
war veteran. She has a younger
brother and sister.
But she wasn't worrying about
them.
