 But the invaders continue to surge forward on the Lower Don and Caucasus. A bulletin from Hit ler's headquarters asserted that sev- eral points have been captured, in- cluding the town of Voroshilovsk, l80 miles southeast of Rostov.

The w ashingtUn Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert $. Allen on active dutyo


 WASHINGTON-Friends of Jim Farley tell of a private political conference they had with him ana Jim's close political friend Vincent Daley over the New York guberna- torial race. They knew that Jim was irked at Roosevelt for putting Senator James Mead of Buffalo into the race against Farley's candidate, Attorney General Bennett, but they did not know how bitter he really was.
 The former Postmaster General, who had served with Roosevelt for seven years and who had done so much to organize his campaign in 1892, paced the floor vowing there would be no compromise. He would fight the President to the end, Jim said, and Attorney General Ben nett, not Mead, would be nominated as Democratic candidate for Gov ernor of New York.
 Some of those who attended the closed-door session had hoped that a compromise could be worked out which would avoid the danger of smashing the Democratic Party in New York and thus insuring Tom Dewey's election. However, after Jim Farley unburdened himself of his Roosevelt resentment, he told this story about man who was being examined for a job as railroad trainman.
 "What would you do if you saw two trains coming together, mead on?" the prospective trainman was asked
 "I'd grab red flag and wave 'em to stop"
 And what would you do if it were night time and they couldn't see your flag?"
 I'd grab lantern and wave 'em to stop"
 ,eBut suppose there were no oil in your lantern, what would you doP''
 "Then I'd call my brother and tell him to come and see the damndest smash-up in his life"
 That, inferred Jim Farley. is what will happen to the Farley Roosevelt factions in the goverporship race in New York.
 NOTE: Republicans are increas- ipgly gleeful over the split.

PARTY TO VOTE

JUBBULPORE, India, Aug. A. Pandit Nehru said today not only that ratification of the proposed civil disobedience campaign in India should be voted upon this week by the All-India Congress Party, but that a detailed program will be drawn up for the campaign. which probably will start in about two weeks.
 He predicted that the campaign will be short, swift and effective, will last about three months and will decide the countrys fate"
 Dissent came in a statement from the India Communist Party, saying We Indian Communists are trying our hardest to convince our fellow patriots that the course of action suggested by Congress leadership does not lead to freedom, but will cut our nation away from freedoms battle and will divide the progress sive forces of Britain and India, only helping to strengthen the obstinacy of the Imperialists, who refuse to move with the times"

State Laws Governing Bicycle Riding
Listed By Local Police Department

of at least 100 feet. No bicycle with
a siren or whistle is permitted.
"Hitching a ride on any other We
hicle is dangerous practice as well
as a violation of the law.
bicycles are subject to the same
regulations as motor vehicles insofar
as practicable.
''If used at night all bicycles are
required by law to be equipped with
a white light in front and red
light in the rear, both visible for at
least 500 feet.
riding on the bar or handle bars
of bicycle is prohibited, as no BIZ
cycle is to be used to carry more
persons at one time than the num-
Der for which it is designed and
equipped.
at is unlawful to ride more than
two abreast except on paths or parts
of a roadway set aside for the ex-
elusive use of bicycles.
In general common sense observ-
ance of safety practices such as mod
crate speed, proper signaling, keep
ing to the right side of street and
constant caution will eliminate many
bicycle accidents.
In addition to the state laws gov
erning bicycle riding there are sew
eral local regulations governing the
use of bicycles in Bluffton, Coon
said.
No bicycles are permitted on the
sidewalks of the business section on
Wednesday and Saturday nights.
They may be parked only in the
