DEMPSEY CHARGES
UNFAIR PRACTICES
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2:5. (UP)
Edward Fenlon of the Rrooklyn
college faculty, told the Dies com
mittee today that ati admittedly
Communist magazine at school
probably was being published by
a government agency. He testified
before the committee investigat
ing un-American activities, that
the ayeliey probably was a WI'A
group.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. (l l*>
Disagreement among memlters of
the Dies committee was revealed
today a^ the committee prepared
to hear testimony of alleged com
munistic activity in schools and
colleges.
The rift within the committee
centered around Representative
John J. Dempsey t D.. N. M.), who
attended the committee's session
yesterday for the first time since
the hearings began nearly two
weeks ago. It was learned that
he had returned to the capital
hastily to assert his belief that the
Committee had involved "inno
cent" persons and cast unfair re
flections upon them.
Dempsey made a special trip to
California from his New Mexico
home, it was learned, while com
mittee investigator Kdward K.
Sullivan was gathering informa
tion on the alleged communistic
activity of Harry Bridges, pacific
coast director of the Committee
for Industrial Organization. It
was understood that Dempsey or
dered Sullivan to return to Wash
ington because of his belief that
much of his material was irrele
vant and incompetent.
When Sullivan returned last
week, the committee made public
a report on his work in which it
was charged that Hollywood was
a "hotbtd of communism" and
that government officials had aid
ed Bridges in his tight against de
portation.
Dempsey also was incensed
when the committee accused im
portant government officials with
spreading communist propaganda
through membership in alleged
communist "front" organizations
such as the American League for
Peace and Democracy.
He told a friend that he
"might have joined the league had
1 been asked, because I believe
in both peace anil democracy."
Upon his return here, Dempsey
was appointed chairman of a sec
ond subcommittee which will hold
hearings in California on Su'li
\an's charges. He will be assist
ed by Rep. Joe Starnes (D.. Ala.),
who frequently during the hear
ings has insisted that witnesses be
stopped from talking on the
grounds that they were unable to
support their charges. Rep. Har
old G. M osier (D., O.) will be the
third member.
Starnes will act as head of an
other subcommittee which will
hold hearings in the Kast—prob
ably in New York and Boston. A
third subcommittee headed by
Mosier arid including Chairman
Martin Dies (D., Texas) will hold
hearings in midwestern cities.
Dies began the last phase of his
healings here today by calling
witnesses which he said would re
veal communistic activities in

KXOXV1LLE, Tenn., Aug. 23.
(I'P) — A congressional commit
tee investigating the Tennessee
Valley Authority shifted its hear
ings to Chattanooga today to hear
testimony on alleged propaganda i
activities by utilities companies to|
prevent municipal use ul' TVA'
power.
Hearings will lie resumed in
Knoxville after "two or three
days" in Chattanooga, committee
counsel Francis Riddle announced.
Meantime, David E. Lilienthal,'
a TVA director, reiterated his
charge before the committee that
the current investigation "was not [
ordered because of differences in
policies within the board, hut be-1
cause congress thought—as did
the man in the street and the'
press—that there was crooked
ness within the TVA."
Blame for the "general under
standing" that "dishonesty" exist
ed within the TVA directorate was
placed by Lilienthal on A. E. Moi-|
gan, deposed TVA chairman.
Lilienthal resurrected the "dis
honesty'' issue yesterday, saying,
he wanted to make additional re
marks in reply to the position!
taken Friday by Representative
Thomas A. Jenkins, R., Ohio, that
A* E. Morgan had not charged the
other TVA board members with'
personal corruption.
Lilienthal said President Roose-1
velt and members of congress in-1
terpreted statements by the de
posed chairman as charging him
and Harcourt Morgan, another
TVA director, with "personal dis-j
honesty and corruption." H*.- also
testified that congressional resolu
tions to investigate TVA lay dor
mant until A. E. Morgan made
charges against his colleagues last

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2!i. (UP) j
Forthcoming primaries in South
Carolina uiul California Auk. •'0
heltl tlu* political limelight today
as possible yardsticks to measure
effectiveness of President Roose
velt's intervention in Democratic
contests in three other states
Maryland. New York and Georgia.
Of the two primaries scheduled
for next Wednesday, the South
Carolina contest, involving the
seat of Senator Kllison D. (Cot
ton Kd) Smith, veteran Demo
cratic conservative, is the most
significant. The outcome may in
dicate to a large extent voter
trends in nearby Georgia where
the new deal is opposing Senator
Walter F. George, and in Mary
land, where Mr. Roosevelt public-i
ly repudiated Senator Millard K.
Tydings as a "betrayer."
Although the president did not
denounce Smith, as he did Tyd
ings, George and Representative
John O'Connor, 1)., N. V., he indi \
rated his unmistakable preference i
for youthful Gov. Olin U. John
•ton. ardent new dealer, who is,
/onsideied Smith's major oppo- |
nent in the three-cornered race.
I'he third candidate is State Sen
itor Kdgar Brown, who also pro
esses administration leanings.
Smith, who, together with Tyd-;t
ngs and George, helped scuttle .
he supreme court enlargement i i
dau last vear, has been waging a ;
leated fight in ,'ie South Carolina1,
'circus" campaign. He and his i
;wo opponents travel the same (

As chairman of the powerful '
senate agriculture committee,
smith often has crossed swords ;
,vith the administration on its i
arm program. Recently Secre- t
ary ot Agriculture Henry A. ..
Wallace, declining to discuss the |
Smith "purge." said, however,
hat he favored "anything that i

LONDON, Aug. 2.'{. (IT).—
Ivan Maislcy, Soviet ambassador,
visited the foreign office today
and demanded immediate sum
moning* of the non-intervention
committee on Spain, in view of
the crisis caused by the national
ist rejection of Britain's proposals
for withdrawal of foreifn volun
teers.
It was reported that when Mai
*ky proposed tliat the committee
meet at the end of this week,
l.ord Plymouth, its chairman, re
plied that it would be impractica
ble since further preparation was
necessary.
It was learned that Guido
C'rolla, Italian charge d'affaires,
visited Plymouth yesterday and
urged a further diplomatic ex
change between the non-interven
tion committee and the insurgent
government at Burgos, with a
view to elucidating passage con
ddered obscure in General Fran
mhco Franco's note.
Lord Plymouth was understood
.o share Crolla's opinion. The
next step would be a further
communication with Burgos, he
-aid , so that a committee meeting
Meanwhile would be inopportune.
In conversation with Maisky,
.old Plymouth was understood
o have proposed that the next
no\e would be to ask Franco
vhether his reply to the British

OLYMPIA. Wash., Aug. L\J.—
(I'M) Police today arrested l\nh
ert Smith, 'M, member of a prom
int'iit family, as the fourth sus
pect in the kidnaping, assault and
attempted mutilation of Irving'
Baker, .'i7, former coa.^t guard of
ficer.
Smith's arrest came as Mrs.
Klizabeth Herry, attractive' 27
year-old wife of Dr. K. W. Berry,
also held in the ease, stated that,
her husband had reason to he jeal
ous of Baker.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Aug.
(UP)—Three men, including so
cially prominent Dr. K. W. Berry,
r»()-year-old physician, were under
arrest today in the kidnaping of
Irving Baker, former coast guards
man, who was beaten and an at
tempt made to mutilate him be
cause of supposed attentions lie
paid Dr. Berry's pretty young
wife.
The third man arrested was
William JVlcAloon, a former town
marshal. Earlier Dr. Berry and a
taxicab driver were held on
charges of kidnaping—a capital
offense in Washington.
Dr. Berry was placed under
$I0,()UU bond last night after he
admitted having an altercation
with Baker, but denied any part
in the kidnaping.
McAloon was not immediately
charged, but it was believed that
similar charges would be tiled
against him. Washington's Lind
bergh law assesses the death sen-1
tence or life imprisonment upon
conviction for kidnaping.
Baker, 37, a former II. S. coast
guard service officer and now an
automobile dealer, was not in
jured permanently in the attack,
which occurred Friday night. Pli
ers were used ill the attempted
mutilation, according to officers.
Motive for the attack was said
to be the doctor's jealousy over
Baker's attention to his wife,
Elizabeth, 27, a former University
of Washington co-ed, at a party
last July 4.
Baker denied his attentions
were more than "social." t
The taxi driver arrested is
James Keddick.

badly injured arid in a daze, on
the outskirts of Olympia Friday
night.

By FREDERICK A. STORM
HYDE PARK, N. Y.. Aug. 23.1
(IT)—Federal relief workers to
day had the assurance of Harry
Hopkins, WPA administrator, that
they could vote as they pleased
without fear of being fired.
Ilis pronouncement came last
night after a lengthy conference
at the summer white house with
President Roosevelt. They sur
veyed progress of the lending
spending program and informally1
canvassed the national political
picture.
Hopkins insisted his presence)
here had no political significance
hut observers believed that his
Hyde Park visit had to do witji
the Maryland situation. It was
generally believed that he urged
the president to enter the free1
state next week and in an address,
possibly at Baltimore on Labor
Dav. at?ain call for the defeat of
Sen. Millard Tydings, denounced
by Mr. Roosevelt as a "new deal
betrayer."
The WPA administrator, how
ever, took occasion to condemn
efforts to solicit or collect cam
paign contributions from WPA
workers, asserting that their
money should be used instead for,
clothing, food and shelter.
He had in mind specifically, he
said, reports that the Workers Al
liance planned a $50,000 war
chest, the money to be raised
from persons on relief, to further
a campaign for the election of
representatives friendly to their
interests.
Then he said: "We don't solicit
political support from WPA work
ers. Some people say we do but
we don't."
"No one is going to lose his job
no matter which way he votes in
these states that you hear about."
Hopkins told newspapermen that
his WPA program had reached its
peak but that there was still
"great pi'essure." He said that
"there always has been great
pressure so there is nothing un
usual in that."
After Hopkins left Hyde Park
house, th^ president met with
Charles West, former undersecre
tary of the interior, and White
House liaison man on Capitol Hill,
for a further report on the politi
cal situation in Ohio.
West told Mr. Roosevelt that
lie would return to Ohio to work
for the election of Senator Rob
ert Bulkley, new dealer, and
Charles Sawyer, Democratic nom
inee for governor. Sawyer was a
caller here Saturday and express
ed belief that his party's ticket
would win, adding that the wounds
of the primary fight had been
healed.

CONE MAKING
BRAVE FIGHT!
FOR HIS LIFE
Florida Governor May
Have "Better Than
Even" Chance
JACKSONVILLE, Flu., Aug. 23.
'(L'P).—Fred Preston ('tine, elder
ly governor of Florida and a vie- .
11 m of heart disease and influ- j
en/.a, fought for his life todayi
under an oxygen tent in St. Vin-;
cent's hospital.
Cone's personal physician, Dr.
Stanley Krwin, announced last
night that the governor was in a
"serious but not immediately dan
gerous" condition.
The governor suffered a coro
nary thrombosis July 29 and, ac-j
cording to Krwin, was recovering
gradually until stricken with in
fluenza last Saturday morning.
The governor then was placed
in riaox ygen tent for the second
time since his stay in St. Vin
cent's. Last night, his family paid
many visits to the governor's hos
pital room. Branch Cone, the
governor's brother and executive
secretary, hurried by car from
Tallahassee to the state chief ex
ecutive bedside.
"The governor has no pneu- |
monia, but his condition is toxic
and he is running a high tempera- :
ture," Dr. Krwin said last night. |
"There is no reason to believe |
he will die tonight or even to
morrow. For a man of his age,
his condition is satisfactory. It
may be several days before we I
can determine definitely how
much damage the influenza has .
done."
Krwin said an accurate account
of the governor's condition had
not been released previously be- j
cause he had not "been given |
permission."
"The governor's condition is i
better tonight than it was yester-1
day," Erwiri said. The physician
left the hospital to go to his home
shortly after 9 p. m. E.S.T. He
said he did not plan to return to
the hospital until this morning.
"If he does not develop pneu-I
monia and does not have another j
coronary thrombosis, I give him a 1
better tha neven chance to re-'
cover," the physician said.
Krwin said the governor had |
been given glucose injections in i
his veins, but explained that such 1
procedure was customary in
threating influenza and heart dis-1
ease in persons of advanced age.
He denied reports that the gov
ernor had been given blood trans- [
fusions.
"There's nothing to warrant a 1
transfusion now," he said.

lain hurried back to London hum
a vacation and confronted a grave
situation growing out of collap.se
of the 27-uations plan to wint
draw all foreign "volunteers"
from Spain's battlefronts
The action of Generalissimo
Francisco Franco of the Spanish
nationalists in virtually rejecting
every point of the plan to gu«
the civil war "back to the Span
iards" struck a vital blow at the
keystone of Chamberlain's foreign
policy—his pact of friendship
with Italy.
Diplomats agreed that the
wrecking of the volunteers plan
had delayed for months and per
haps completely shattered Cham
berlain's hope for putting the
pact into effect because it is <Je
pendent upon Premier Benn>>
Mussolini's withdrawal of his
thousands of blackshirt legion
naires from Franco's armies.
More explosive than the ques.
tion of Chamberlain's prestige at
home, however, was the possibili
ty that Generalissimo Francisco
Franco has thrown down the bars
for a surge of fresh Italian and
German intervention in Spain's
"little world war" including nn-ii,
guns and ammunition.
It was admitted privately that
Franco, by attaching .a maze <»J
qualifications and counter-sugges
tions, to the non-intervention
committee's volunteers withdrawal
plan, has killed it.
