Sen. Smith Is
Renominated by
Big Majority
UNDATED. Aug. 31, (/P)—-South
Carolina voters in renominating
Senator Ellison D. Smith for a
six^h term by a twenty-five thou
sand majority, rebuffed Presid
ent Roosevelt in his first attempt
to unseat a democratic member
of Congress.
California’s democratic primary
now being held, is considered as
a possibility of a second admin
istration defeat. Senator Will
iam G. McAdoo, thrice praised
by the Chief Executive, is trail
ing Sheridan Downey, the $30.00
per week. (pension champion.
Senator Smith, who long ago
won the nickname of “Cotton
Ed." won over Governor Olin D,
Johnston, a self-styled hundred
percent New Dealer.
ALthough Roosevelt did not
mention names during the furi
! ous primary campaign, he refer
red to Senator Smith as one who
i “thinks in terms of the past”.
In California there is no new
deal issue between Downey and
McAdoo. Senator McAdoo was
outspoken in his criticism of
Downey’s pension proposal. The
scheme provides $30 dollars per
week in scrip for all unemploy
ed in the State o-f California who
are over fifty years old.

Fake Action To
Prevent War
UNDATED, Aug. 31, <7Pi—
Great Britain and France took
emergency action yesterday to
prevent war in Europe, and at
the same time prepared to meet
conflict if it comes.
The two cabinets, meeting sim
ultaneously amidst the heavist
war clouds since 1914, gave their
unanimous approval to the steps
already taken by their foreign
ministers in the Czechoslakia
crisis and agreed on the policies
already followed. Future poli
cies were not disclosed, but it
was believed that British Mini
sters had decided to make calm
but firm and final demands that
G:rmany halt its campaign of
hate against Czechoslakia, and
cooperated in efforts to settle the
Czech minority problem.
The French cabinet voted to
day on the length of hours of
working in national defense in
dustries, public service, and
“public safety" industries. At the
same time is gave its virtual pow
er to mobilize all French industry
if necessary'.
The tension between Germany 1
and Czechoslavakia was increas
ed today by a second Berman
protest against the alleged in
sult to the Imperial German
Army by Czech newspapers.
Germany had previously pro
tested Saturday and demanded
immediate action to prevent fur
ther “slander".
Uneasiness was also felt in the
Far East as a result of a state
ment made by Lieutenant Gen
eral Seishiro Itagaki, Japanese
War Minister, that more clashes
between Japanese and Soviet
Hussian foners on the Siberian
frontier “were likely to occur.”
