She thinks the slasher, who fled, was her former husband. Mrs.

Lipko was lying on a davenport on the first floor of her home at 1611 Colwell St. when she was awakened by fingers entwining her throat. She screamed and leaped to her feet, whereupon the assailant drew a knife and lunged at her. By twisting quickly she avoided being cut in the face. The weapon lacerated her back.

Mrs. Lipko was taken to Passa-vant Hospital. After treatment, her condition was pronounced not serious and she was returned home. However, no report of the attack was on the records of Center Ave. Police Station.

Police nevertheless said they were seeking the husband. i utidn LJ TOURISTS BARRED AT SOVIET PORTS State Department May Probe Treatment on Cruise HILL GAS STATION ROBBED 4TH TIME Two Armed Bandits Get $70 From Proprietor By The United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 23 Angry tourists, barred from landing on Russian territory during a Mediterranean cruise, indicated today that the State Department would be asked to investigate. The Italian liner Roma docked yesterday writh 543 members of a cruise, approximately 50 of whom said they had been denied permission to land at Yalta, famous summer resort in Crimea. They said Soviet authorities gave no explanation.

Fourteen passengers who arrived Friday aboard the Holland-America liner Rotterdam said they had been prevented from landing at Leningrad when the vessel visited that port from July 24 to 28. R. H. Skinner, cruise director of Thomas Cook Son, said the complaints were justified. He said the passengers had been charged $15 for a scheduled eight-hour shore trip at Yalta, of which $14.75 was paid over to Intourist, the official Soviet tourist agency.

Mr. Skinner disclaimed responsiblity on the part of his organization for the treatment of the tourists. A i I BW? is -Tr r'l i iki For the fourth time in two weeks, the High Level Bridge Service Station on Brown's Hill was held up last night this time by two gunmen who robbed the proprietor, Harry Fishman, of between $70 and $100. It was the first time Mr. Fish-man encountered the intruders.

On other occasions, the robberies occurred when an attendant was on duty and netted only small amounts, although damage to equipment was heavy. Last week, robbers jabbed holes in oil tanks and flooded the floor of the station. Mr. Fishman was alone last night when the men entered. One held him at gunpoint wrhile the other rifled his pockets.

By LYLE C. WILSON tinted Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. 23 Political warfare for control of the Democratic Party was foreseen today as a likely development of the bitter session of Congress which scrambled through the wreckage of President Roosevelt's 1937 program Saturday and adjourned. The New Deal has been weakened On both right and left wings.

A conservative, Southern Democratic bloc began to emerge in Congress this year, possibly to challenge New Deal forces when the party convention meets in 1940 to name a Presidential nominee. Mr. Roosevelt is believed ready to go to the people in protest gainst wreckage of his legislative program and possibly to contemplate a special November session of Congress to obtain some of his 1937 objectives. To Speak Sept. 1" He already is booked for an address here Sept.

17 in which he is expected to continue his counterattack on conservative opponents begun last week at Roanoke Island. N. C. Congress adjourned Saturday after a bitter session marked by division in New Deal ranks and legislative refusal to enact several major proposals submitted by Mr. Roosevelt.

The Senate scuttled Mr. Roosevelt's Supreme Court reorganization bill. Both houses joined in passive resistance against crop surplus control legislation at this session. Other Bills Lost The wage and hours bill designed to make good some of Mr. Roosevelt's campaign promises passed the Senate but was buried in the House under Southern Democratic opposition.

Bills for reorganization of the executive departments and for nationally planned control of water power and other resources likewise were lost at this session. A shifting combination of Republican and conservative Democratic votes in House and Senate defeated Mr. Roosevelt this year on a dozen legislative fronts. But if a special session is called this autumn it would be primarily to obtain 'crop surplus control and wages-hours legislation. Mr.

Roosevelt has indicated that he has not surrendered on some plan to deal with the Supreme Court, despite overwhelming rejection of his first proposals. Reprisals Feared But it is believed the New Deal would prefer to postpone that issue until after the 1938 Congressional elections when voters have had an opportunity to pass upon the conduct of Democratic Senators who opposed the President this year. Some rebels, notably Senator Frederick Van Nuys, Senator Royal S. Copeland N. Senator Burton K.

Wheeler and Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney, already are convinced that the New Deal plans reprisals. With some of these Senators in the center of it. Congress adjourned in clamorous political bitterness. Hopes for an early return of Democratic harmony were considerably diminished.

of the Republican National Committee said as the legislators scattered that New Deal leadership had 'failed the people." To that ex- i tnt he almost duplicated the charge made a day previously by John L. Lewis, chairman of Labor's Nonpartisan League and spokesman of Committee for Industrial Organization. Mr. Lewis said this session of Congress demonstrated Democratic leadership could not make good on its campaign promises. Seen As Bolt The New York State Executive Committee of the Socialist Party accepted that statement as Mr.

Lewis' bolt from the New Deal. It called upon him immediately to join organization of a farmer-labor coalition. The New York Socialists charged labor and agriculture bills had been sabotaged at this session by conservative Democrats and said that no matter how well intentioned Mr. Roosevelt might be, "the Democratic Party machine is largely controlled by such corrupt political organizations as Tammany Hall in the North and by numerous reactionary groups in the South." Mr. Lewis, it was learned, prepared for broader participation of Labor's Non-Partisan League in municipal elections this fall and in 1938 congressional contests.

Official On Trip He dispatched E. L. Oliver, league executive vice-president, on "an extended trip around the country." Mr. Oliver specifically was instructed to "talk with labor and farmer leaders who are interested in forwarding programs of independent political action." Mr. Lewis is scheduled to make nationally broadcast address Sept.

3. a fortnight before Mr. Roosevelt next goes on the air. He may carry forward his criticism of the Administration which he helped put in office last year with votes and loans and gifts aggregating $500,000. Mr.

Hamilton said the first session of the 75th Congress had given the voters "a far clearer understanding of the New Deal than they had last November. "It would be presumptuous of me at this time," he continued, to predict a sweeping Republican victory in 1938. But I can say this: With the voters regaining confidence the Republican Party, we have a real chance to gain a substantial number of seats."
