Of imprisoned French soldiers and

Released prisoners whose homes

for food supplies, are described as
frightened and perplexed by the
problem of feeding the former SOL

Reported Herded Across Line.
Travellers arriving here said the
Germans were herding the dis
armed French soldiers across the
line regardless of whether their
homes were in occupied or unoc-
cupied territory.
(The Germans, in announcing
yesterday the release of 250,-

But the authorities in the town. of
only $500 population, had neither
food nor supplies for such multi

tents and the soldiers had to

the border of the unoccupied area.
| Eighty thousand from the camps
at Mort and St. Jean d'Angely
were said to have been treated
similarly.
At the demarcation line, the
French authorities sent home those
who lived in the unoccupied zone

DALLAS, July 27.-Gov. w. Lee
ODaniel, who played mountain
music where politicians roared in
debate, risks his political future
against five opponents in the Texas
Democratic primary today.
Lined up against ODaniel were
Railroad Commissioner Jerry Sadler,
Mrs. Miriam A. CMa) Ferguson, the
States first woman Governor: Col.
E. o. Thompson, another railroad
commissioner; Harry Hines, highway
commissioner, and Arlon B. (Cy-
clone) Davis, self-styled champion
OF the old people.
Political observers expected at
least 100000 votes would be cast.
Gov. ODaniel must get more votes
than the other five candidates COM
bined or he will have to face the
runnerup in run-off primary late
next month. He was confident he
would poll majority for the second
straight time.
O'Daniel to Vote at Fort Worth.
Gov. ODaniel was to vote at Fort
Worth, where he first sold flour and
began promising the aged s30-a-
month pensions if elected. Those
big pensions didn't materialize
during his first term and he blamed
legislators for failing to provide
adequate taxes:
This time he asked the people to
elect legislature that would supply
the pension money. In between
speeches his h.ll-billy band played
his latest song, There Amt Coin
to Be No Run-Off"
To back up his assertion he was
for pension money, he promised to
sign any tax bill passed by the
Legislature to raise the pension
money.
His opponents campaigned against
a sales tax, and Mr.. Sadler, Mr..
Davis, Col. Thompson and James
E. Ferguson, husband of the former
Governor, blazed away at the Gov
ernors official record. Gov. ODan-
lel avoided mentioning the names
OF any Of his opponents.
BlantOn Seeks Congress Seat.
Spotlighted regionally were the
congressional races in which four
former Representative tried to
come back.
In the Panhandle, II men battled
for the post to be relinquished by

represented by Albert Thomas of
Houston; w. D. McFarlane of

Senator Connally has remained in
Washington and let his friends
campaign for him. So have many
of the 20 Representatives seeking
reelection. Seven of them are
without opposition. Congressional

outstanding issues.

Harrison Asks Shorter
Hours To Help Jobless

Washington, D. CA warning that
the Federal Government must definite
ly and speedily solve the ten-year-old
problem of unemployment to remove
the danger to democratic and social
institutions in the United States cre-
ated by large jobless army featured
the testimony before the Temporary
National Economic Committee by
George M. Harrison, president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, A. F.
Of l.. affiliate.
Stating that chronological improve
ments in the railroad industry since
1921 have wiped out 622,426 jobs for
railroad workers, Mr.. Harrison recon-
mended a reduction in. rail labor
hours from "the Sc hours week in
many cases and the 48 hours which is
generally standard" to something like
the 40-hour week which is the ultimate
objective for industries coming under
the Fair Labor Standards Act of
1888.
In reply to a question, Mr.. Harrison
said he opposed Federal subsidization
of the railroads or any other traffic
agency. He declared he would prefer
to see the Government take over the
railroads rather than subsibize them
