Louisiana's 20 Delegates
MAY Sqvitch to Jack Garner

WASHINGTON-A Garner-for-
president move to recruit Louis
iana's 20 Democratic national con-
vention delegates to the anti-third
term campaign was the first ma
tional political development today
from defeat of the state machine
created by the late Huey P. Long.
The vice presidents associates
claimed that victory of Sam Hous-
ton Jones, who took Louisiana's
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor from the kingfish's brother.
Earl Long, was favorable to their
cause.
They said Jones' nomination
meant that for the first time since
1924 the state Democratic organi-
zation would support any effort to
select nominating convention dele
gates by election instead of by
appointment by the state central
committee. The committee has
authority to name the slate itself
or summon state convention to
elect them.
Jones, In Louisiana, endors-
ed the convention plan without
taking the opportunity 10 en-

dorse Garner. But Jones' en-
dorsement of the elective pro-
cess may support the claim
made here that his victory
over Earl Long was good
political break for the anti
third termers.
The vice presidents supporters
assert that Jones' nomination will
be followed by removal of Sen.
Allen ]. Ellender, D.. La, from
the Democratic national commit
tee. Ellender is a notable New
Dealer.
Substitution of an anti-New
Dealer for Ellender on the national
committee would considerably aid
the anti-third term movement in
the south where only two senator's
are making much noise about their
campaigns.
Meantime, the time limit for
withdrawal of Mr.. Roosevelt's
name from the Illinois preferential
primary expires at midnight Feb.

He said the Legion opposed

PAMPHLET DATA

r. d. CBob) O'Neil. candidate
for commissioner Of public utilities.
spoke to the Roosevelt Heights
Improvement club Thursday night,
charging that the pamphlet now
being circulated by friends Of the
present commissioner, contains
misleading and false information.
O'Neil presented some Of the
sections of the commissioner
message which he claimed were
not in accordance with city hall
records by saying: Under the
section headed Water Rates for
Homes the commissioner states
that the present rules and regula-
tons concerning the use of water
have been in effect for IS years.
That this is incorrect is proven
by city ordinance No. 703s, adopt
ed by the city council. of which
DAWSON was a member. on Nov.
%, 1919. This ordinance con-
tanned section No. IS, which re-
pealed all past ordinances that
conflicted with it. This ordinance
adopted in 1919 did not contain
any provision stating that where
a residential water meter had been
installed the customer so affected
could not be returned to the fiat
rate. Many sections of this
ordinance have been changed, es-
pecially section No. Sc, which pro-
vided for the granting of low cost
water for the Metropolitan parks
and the city of Tacoma. All new
rules affecting residential water
have been put into effect by the
present commissioner Of public
utilities, under the authority given
him by section No. 81 of the 1919
ordinance"

buI|itt Attacked
For Attempting to
Drag U.S.. to War

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 Q0-
ISolationist senators attacked U. S.
Ambassador to France William C.
Bullitt today. One accused him of
making statements very very little
short of treason" in his speech at
Philadelphia last night urging aid
to Britain.
Sens. D. Worth Clark, D.. Ida,
Bennett Champ Clark, D., Mo, and
Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, led
the denunciations of Bullits speech.
Clark of Idaho termed Bullit's
speech "a damagogic appeal to the
American people to go into war
war for which he admits we are
not prepared. I say that Mr.. Built
comes mighty, mighty close to being
false to the republic which put him
where he is today"
Clark of Missouri shouted that if
Bullitt succeeds in dragging us in
to war, you can bet that he'll sue
ceed in finding himself a safe place
to hide out for the duration of it,"
He did it the last time" the
Missourian continued. "He was 26
years old when we entered the last
war and he found himself a nice
coffee cooling job in the war de-
partment."

BERLIN, Aug. 10. (UP)-Ger-
many ushered in the second week
of her aerial blitzkrieg against
Great Britain today by sending
waves of bomber-reconnaissance
and fighter planes over England to
observe the destruction thus far
wrought and to spread new devas-
tation.
The main object of the days first
flights, according to DNB, official
German news agency, was to OBJ
serve damage done to Wharves, air.
dromes and defense centers in yes
terday's widespread raids, which,
the Germans claimed, resulted in
the destruction of lat British fight
ers and telling blows" to objectives
in the London area.
Fresh formations of Heinkel-111
and Dornier-l7 bombers were or
dered to "pay special attention" TO
harbors, Royal Air Force bases and
anti-aircraft defenses, DNB said,
while fighters winged overhead to
protect them.
The new week of blasting air raids
was inaugurated as the German
press claimed tremendous successes
in last weeks offenses which, it
was asserted, was carried out with
only part of the German air force"
Last week, the press claimed,
German raiders, besides laying war
factories, naval bases, ports and
RAF bases waste, destroyed 579 Bri-
tish planes and 63 barrage balloons.
Meanwhile, the German high
command claimed great successes"
for the German air force in yester-
days raids.
Important military detectives"
such as industrial works, railroads,
anti-aircraft guns, airdromes around
London and other targets in Kent
and Hampshire were attacked with
good results" the high command
said.
In attacks on channel shipping,
the communique added a 4,000-ton
enemy merchantmen was sunk and
another was severely damaged.
Large fires and explosions were
observed after all of these raids and
several ships we're hit at anchor in
British ports, the high command
claimed, adding that British planes

page editorials attacking the Greek
government and contending that
Albanians IN the Ciamuria region
of Greece were being prosecuted.
I was booed and hissed on the
streets of Tirana last night when
asked a group of Albanians the
way to the Greek consulate. They
refused to answer me until l eX-
planned in Italian that I was not
a Greek but was trying to locate
house in the same street as the con-
sulate.
In the little cafes of Tirana I saw
groups of A ba n a n S, garbed in
white fezzes and white wooden trou-
SerS that fit tightly as an old fash
ioned suit Oh wool underwear, drink
ing their native racky-a kind of
whiskey-and discussing the anti
Greek newspaper editorials.
The Tomori, Tirana morning
newspaper, said that "Ciamuria is
a hell for Albanians" and asserted
that each night Greek gendarmes
make "Albanians come out into the
the street while they go into the
houses and confiscate whatever
suits they fancy"
"A number of AlbanianS have
been arrested and taken to Jail
where they were beaten until they
bled," said the paper. I'VE cannot
remain indifferent to such state
of affairs"
The Scutari papers charged that
"a series of shocking episodes" had
occurred in Ciamuria, and listed
murders, robberies, and arrests of
Albanians.
The newspaper Liktori of Koritza
declared that the Greeks have al
ways shown themselves incapable of
consolidating their own people"
The Valone newspaper Chemise F
zeze said that "the hour has come
to make Athens understand that the
game is up
The Albanian telegraph agency
declared that conditions of medic
val terror" prevail in Ciamuria.
Of Albanias claims against Jugo-
slavia and Greece, the Greek claims
appear most likely to receive at
tention first.
The assassination of the Albanian
leader, Haut Doggia, who had de-
manded that Greece give up the
province of Ciamuria has put this
issue to the forefront.
The Jugoslav situation does not
seem as pressing. I found only
scattered Italian forces along the
Jugoslav frontier. Most of the SOL
diers in the passes on the Albanian
side were newly recruited Alban-
ians, not Italian regulars.

Must Follow Rules

many relaxed the pace of her air
bombardment of Britain for a per-
iod today and warned the British
through neutral sources. that re-
prisals would be taken if German
parachutistS were treated contrary
to usages of international law.
The warning regarding treatment
of parachutists was sent to Britain
through Switzerland. It was direc-
ted against use of the British of
civilians to fight parachutists. The
German note contained a descrip-
ton of parachutists uniforms and
equipment for Identification pur-
poses.
1t said retaliation would be taken
against British airmen prisoners if
Britain allowed civilians to fight
parachutists or otherwise violated
customary usages of international
law.

Plane Bombs
Swiss Railroad

ZURICH, Aug. 10 CUP) = The
Swiss army staff said today that
foreign airplanes bombed a railroad
between Diessenhoefen and Schlatt
in northern Switzerland last night.
The track was covered with dirt
but not damaged, the communique
said, and telegraph and telephone
lines were broken.
Diessenhoefen is about 20 miles
west of Constance and three miles
from the German border, in the
canton of Thurgau.
Announcement of the bombing,
said to have occurred shortly after
midnight, followed the army staff's
disclosure that foreign airplanes,
flying in the direction of Italy, had
violated Swiss neutrality at several
points.
Swiss i-aircraft batteries fired
on the invaders, the communique
said.
