Bernard Dickman was beaten by a
Republican when he sought re-elec-
ton as mayor of st. Louis in 1941.
Republican chances looked better
than at any time since Herbert
Hoover carried the state in 1928
until, at recent state convention,
the NATURALIZATION faction virtu-
ally read Governor Donnell out of
the party, refusing him the place
on the national convention delega-
ton which traditionally goes to a
governor of Missouri.
Donnell is candidate for nomi-
nation for the U. S. Senate seat
now held by Bennett Champ
Clark. Barak T. Mattingly, national
committeeman, and Grover w. Dali
ton, state chairman, are backing
Howard v. Stephens, st. Louis
manufacturer, for the nomination.
GOVERNOR IGNORED
The NATURALIZATION organiza-
ton is trying to consolidate its
party control by arranging the with
drawal of a third aspirant, former
Mayor Charles Shaw of Clayton, so
that every possible vote can be con-
centrated to defeat Governor DON
nell.
At the state convention the Mat
tingly Dalton forces went out of
their way to ignore Governor DON
nell. The reason given was that be-
cause he is a candidate for the SEN
atorship he should not receive any
preference over his rivals. But the
insult went further han that.
Although the governor sat on the
convention floor on a proxy, he was

said that damage to the building
was $50 Manager Harold Lang
of the Lerner Dress Shop said dam
age to his stock might reach $780,
600. Robert Rubi, manager of
Clyde's Shoe store, said that his

Mass. Holds
Pres. Primary
BY STANTON BERENS
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

Boston, April 25-(UP)-Massa-
chusetts held its presidential prim-
airy today, featured by partial tests
of President Roosevelt's fourth term
strength and Gov. Thomas E. Dew
ey's popularity in this state.
An extremely light vote was fore
cast, with perhaps not more than
100000 ballots cast among the q
100000 which were distributed in
the 351 cities and towns. In most
cases the polls were to close at 8
p. m.
Democrats will choose So dele
gates to their national convention,
including IL on the at-large slate
and four from each Of the IA con-
gaessionl districts. Republicans will
elect IS delegates, seven at last and
two from each district. Each DEM
ocrat elected will have half vote
at the convention while each Re-
publican chose will have full vote.
In seven congressional districts
anti-Roosevelt Democratic delegate
states pledged to former Gov. Jo-
seph B. Ely, a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nominal
ton in Massachusetts only, are OPP
posing unpledged groups presented
by the Democratic state committee.
These are the third, sixth, seventh,
tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thir-
tenth.
Also of interest will be the in
dividual votes polled by Ely, anti
New Dealer and fourth term foe,
and House Majority Leader John
w. Mccormack, both of whom are
members Of the unopposed Demo
cratic slate for delegates-at-large.
The Republican delegate-at-large
slate, including Gov. Leverett Sal
tonstall and House Minority Lead
er Joseph w. Martin Jr., likewise
is unopposed. Thus, on the G. o. P.
side, whatever interest there is will
focus on the two districts where
Gov. Dewey's popularity will be
put to a minor test.

| not even presented to the gathering
of his own party in the state of
which he is chief executive.
| Observers recalled the difference
between this and the attitude of the
1910 Democratic convention TOWARD
Governor Lloyd c. Stark, who was
more deeply hated by machine
Democrats than Governor Donnell
is by machine Republicans.
Governor Stark, elected with the
blessing of then boss Tom Fender
CAST, used the full power of his
Office to break the Pendergast
machine and send the boss to pri-
son, which resulted in the breaking
up of one of the really powerful
Democratic machines of the coun-
try. Nevertheless, at their state
convention, the Democrats gave
Governor Stark seat on the plat
form and called on him for a
speech.
The Republican internal fight has
nothing to do with the national
situation, directly. Party sentiment
in the state seems to be universally
and overwhelmingly for Governor
Thomas E. Dewey of New York.
Mattingly is regarded as close to
the pro-Dewey leadership, and all
factions were willing to let him
handle all details.
RIFT GROWS WIDER
Under these circumstances, with
an important block of electoral
votes at stake in what undoubt-
eddy should be a close election, it
was expected that every effort
would be made to heal factional
differences and weld the state Or
ganization into powerful, single
machine for the November cleo
ton.
But in addition to ignoring Gov
ernor Donnell, who has many
friends and supporters, the Mat
tingly-Dalton faction put Mrs. Vic
tor T. Remley of the national COM
mitteee because she was affiliated
with the opposing faction, and
thereby created even more dissen-
sion.
The Democrats, who were get
ting very worried, are beginning to
take a new lease on political life
and enjoy themselves.

Huge War
Budget
BY JOSEPH w. GRIGG, JR.

D1 OO0G1 H W. UNAOOp JENs
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
London, April Is. - Cup = The
British government submitted its
seventh wartime budget to commons
today, calling for an expenditure OF
almost $4,000, 100000 ($24,OOO, OO0,-
00O) during the 1915 fiscal year.
Sir John Anderson, chancellor of
the Exchequer, presented the huge
war bill with a Somber warning
that he. danger of initiation is
mounting and that the end of the
war will find Britain no longer q
major credited nation in interna-
tional trade.
mo nation can wage war on this
basis for several years and emerge
at the end without price to pay"
he told the House. I'VE heve not
yet paid that price,
Anderson predicted that this war
will complete a revolutionary cy-
cle," in Britain's financial posi-
ton.
1.-The fact is already clear that
when the war is over we shall have
ceased to be a large-scale creditor
country. We shall no longer be
able to rely as heretofore on fl
nancing any material part of our
import needs from overseas invest
ment income"
Record Outlay
Anderson'S budget estimate called
for a record outlay of Is, 937, 100000
1923, 748, 100000 in the coming fis-
cal year against f5. 799, 100000 (23,-
196,0O0,000) in the current year
which, in turn, was seven times as
great as in the last pre-war year.
Approximately So per cent of the
1915 expenditures will be met by
taxation, slightly larger proper
ton than this year., and Anderson
told Commons that no ta:; increas-
eS are envisaged except for a penny
per barrel raise in the beer tax,
which will not be passed on to the
consumer, plus a few other minor
changes.
Anderson's message was studded
with blunt warnings of financial
dangers confronting Britain during
ad after the war, ad he declared
fatty that high taxes will have to
be continued for some time after the
return of peace.
Initiation In Danger
He asserted that there is real
danger of initiation if the govern
ment's policy of using subsidies to
control living costs Is not continued.
Thus far, he said, the price advance
has been held to 20 per cent above
pre-war levels, compared to a SO
per cent rise which hight have oc-
CURED without the subsidy program.
Anderson admitted, however, that
even with subsidies the cost of liv-
ing may go 30 to IS per cent higher
than before the war.
Despite his gloomy forecast that
Britain viii emerge from the war
much poorer nation than she enter
ed 1t, Anderson plans vigorous
postwar program Of industrial re-
construction and foreign trade eX-
pansion.
Govt. Aid
He announced that the govern
ment intends to aid British industry
and agriculture with special low
interest loans, income tax allow
ances for research and a Copper cent
tax concession on the cost of new
plant and machinery.
"a nation of stout heart should
find such a situation stimulating"
he said. II take 1t as challenge to
the industry of this country
Anderson paid tribute to the as
sistance given by the United States
lend-lease program and by Canada,
which presented Britain with an
outright gift Of 81 ,0OO, 100000 during
the past two years and gave another
81, 900, 10000 to the United Nations
war fund.
