Byrd's telegram to the President
from Chicago was regarded in
both the Lewis and Tydings
camps as the forerunner of a
vigorous appeal to Maryland
farmers by the aggressive and in
fluential head of Maryland U.
But beyond this, the Lewis
forces. diSagreeing with the Tyd-
ings view that the appearance of
the President in Maryland would
stir resentment and aid Senator
Tydings' candidacy, not only want
him to come into the State, but
actively to get into the senatorial
contest with a personal appeal to
New Dealers to nominate the New
Deal candidate on September IL.
They are hopeful the President
will make the Eastern Shore the
principal base of his operations If
he comes to Maryland both be-
cause of its strategic importance
in the senatorial fight and be-
cause it is there that Senator
TydingS has delivered his most
effective blows In tanning farmers
fears against Lewis because of the
support Of his candidacy by
organized labor.
Political offenSiveS were appar-
ent all along the line elsewhere
as the senatorial battle worked up
to its climax. The high lights:
l. Secretary of Commerce Daniel
Roper jumped into the fight to
back up the Lewis charge that
Tydines sought to force the Gov
eminent to sell 124 obsolete ships
to the Boston Iron and Metal Com
pany Of Baltimore, for scrapping,

Marti said. The Swiss constitution
forbids standing army. so volunteers
who stay in service for month

forts are those at the bridgeheads on

Gold has fled to Switzerland, as

There Is a certain danger in this

Big fires develop from incidents
which could be avoided with q
grain of common sense, according
to Fire Marshal Calvin LAUDER.
