10. IP) President Roosevelt said today he hoped that Lawrence S. Camp, Atlanta, running on a New Deal platform, would be- nominated for the senate seat now held by Senator Walter F. George. The president, speaking at a luncheon in the Warm Springs Foundation hall, said he was glad to have Governor E.

D. Rivers of Georria and Camp, federal district attorney, with him. With Governor E. D. Rivers on his right and Camp on his left, the president said: "We are very much honored in having todar as guests of Warm Springs Governor Rivers, who is an old friend of ours, and also a gentleman who I hope will be the next senator from this SmIIC Jnto w-l WARM SPRINGS, Ga 10.

All that remains, said Martin T. Baskett, chairman of the county welfare board, is the necessity of securing the cooperation of the school board in converting the building into an old folks' home.

Pope of Idaho became today the second administration senator to go down in defeat this year before a Democratic primary opponent. He conceded that Rep. D. Woth Clark, an avowed conservative, had beaten him in yesterday's Democratic balloting in which New Deal cup-port was the main issue. The only comparable ca, was that of Senator Herbert E.

Hithcock of South Dakota who lost his primary race to former Gov. Tom Berry, a Roosevelt supporter with conservative leanings. Pope's defeat tempered considerably the joy of administration lieutenants over Senator Robert J. Bulkley's smashing victory over former Gov. George White in Ohio.

Bulkley had President Roosevelt's personal support. Pope had been sup- by Postmaster General Farley, who mnv for him. snH hart hn who 6poke for him, and had been openly and recently defended by Secretary for his reciprocal trade treaty stand. In the third senatorial race. Senator Hattie Caraway, of Arkansas, another whom the president called "friend" on nis western trip, apparently had a safe margin over her nearest opponent, Rep.

John L. Mc-Clellan. Complete returns from 1 631 of Idaho's 802 precincts raised to 3.247 the margin for Clark, who told voters he was not "an administration yes-man." The vote was: Clark. Pope. 35,629.

The Idaho fight provided the only clearcut -New Deal issue in yesterday's senatorial primaries, but administration lieutenants nevertheless were gratified by the wide advantage of Senator Robert Bulkley of Ohio over former Gov. George White. Bulkley had been praised last month by President Roosevelt, his Harvard classmate, for backing so- 4Tara face S. Col. 3 FORMER GOVERNOR SUFFERS INJURIES CODY, Aug.

Bonds have been approved here and kevhere on a fraction of such interest.

Trimary contests in both parties, however, eliminate' the possibility that the hospital proposal wiil be decided by other than a representative vote. Attracted to the polls by personal interest in the fortunes of various candidates, ballots on the bonds ill he cast as a matter of course. That makes the question of individual decision more important, if anything, and suggests the ad visability of every prospective voter making a careful study of (he hospital project.

NO REGRET IN SIGHT After all, the people of Georgia should not be disappointed if Governor Talmadge fails to gain the senatorial nomination. In the event of his success they would be put to the trouble of finding another chief executive, who probably would not measure up to the standard he has set in public office. JtaWr Talmadge is described by one admirer as the "good earth of Georgia," one whose love of agriculture and the land dates back to the time when he warmed his feet where the cows had lain of a mild winter morning. Georgia is an agricultural state and Talmadge first served as the best man the state ever had in that department.

When he became governor he continued the work with constructive results. He is a big man and a common one. "Worse things can happen to a state than not sending its favorite son to the senate.

Mayor' Archie Allison, who has asked all citizens to cooperate in "blacking out" the city, will pull the switch at the Cheyenne Light and Power plant and lights will remain off for 15 minutes.

Plans of army leaders to obtain batteries of searchlights and antiaircraft guns to aid the city's defense did not materialize, and bombers from the army air corps technical school at Denver and the 120th observation souadron of the national guard can "attack" without danger.
