Gillette Renominated by Big Margin In Iowa Despite Attention Given Wearin (By the Associated Pross) Des Moines, June 7. The purported drive of some nationally known New Dealers against Iowa Senator Guy M. Gillette appeared to have been swamped under a deluge of Democratic primary votes today.

Senator Gillette, who charged during the campaign that New Deal strategist Tommy Corcoran was directing the drive against him from Washington, was polling more than 50 per cent of the votes as returns from Iowas 2,447 precincts reached the three-fourths mark. Representative Otha D. Wearin, endorsed by WPA Chief Harry L. Hopkins and my friend to James Roosevelt, was receiving a little more than a quarter of the total and three other candidates shared the rest. Significant for Left Wing "'In a statement issued at his Cherokee'," la home, Senator GI1- -i failed and their attempt to pack the senate will fail, Wheeler added.

Hamiltons statement, in which he referred to Gillette as a New Dealer, said that had the presidents left-hand adviser Thomas Corcoran, his son James and his relief administrator, Harry Hopkins remained out of the Iowa fight, Mr. Wear in (Rep. Otha D. Wearin) might have made a better showing. His crushing defeat is a well-merited rebuke to the Roosevelt administration for its shameless attempt to play politics with relief, Hamilton continued.

"The voice that comes out of Iowa today will become a national shout of disapproval if this administration continues to use relief as a part of Its political machine. Wheeler, who took the senate floor half a dozen times last week to criticize a statement by Hopkins In favor of Wearin, also asserted: I hope they will realize that the WPA workers cannot be driven like feudal slaves. Senator Bailey who frequently had differed with President Roosevelts proposals, said Gillettes victory was a good thing for the Democratic party and a timely and Just rebuke for certain individuals from the voters. Senator Van Nuys who has aligned with Wheeler and Gillette in opposing the presidents supreme court enlargement plan, asserted: The results in Iowa are a source of inspiration and encouragement to the good citizenship of the nation.

Franca rushed heavy reinforcements to the Spanish frontier today as Premier Edouard Daladier, who also Is national defense minister, took personal charge of military preparations to repel aerial Invasions. Daladier, who spent last night in Foix on a tour of the frontier, made it plain he considered the repeated aerial attacks on French territory were deliberate and a grave menace of war which could be avoided only by forceful measures. I am convinced this bombardment was made with a double object in view, the premier said cryptically, after an Investigation on the spot where power-lines and the right-cf-way of the railway were damaged by bombs dropped from nine planes of unknown nationality Sunday. We will not have war If we are strong and decided, he added. If we look straight ahead and without fear we will be able to avoid it." From Tarbes in the eastern Pyrenees, infantry detachments made is night march to Pamlers, north Foix, with 15 anti-aircraft gum cf heavy calibre and anti-aircraft machine gum.

Test Coming For Others Gillette First of Eight Court Bill Foes to Be Up for Re-election This Year (By the Associated Press) Washington, June 8. Senator Gillette apparently had set a fast pace in vote-getting today for seven other Democratic senators who actively opposed the Roosevelt court bill and are up for re-election this year. Gillette was first of the group of eight to go before the voters.

On the basis of incomplete returns he scored a decisive victory in Iowas Democratic primary yesterday. Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator, bad endorsed Gillettes opponent, Rep, Otha D. Wearin, and James Roosevelt, presidents son, had referred. to Wearin as my friend Gillette and his supporters, in turn, had condemned what they termed efforts of outsiders to dictate to Iowa voters. Clark Is One The other seven Democratic senators are Clark of Missouri; George of Georgia; Lonergan of Connecticut; McCarran of Nevada; Smith of South Carolina; Tydings of Maryland, and Van Nuys of Indiana.

Van Nuys already has said he would not win his states Democratic senatorial nomination. He has indicated he will run as an Independent. Clark and Lonergan have developed no an-nunced opposition to date. Of the six who will seek renomination some seem reasonably sure to have strong opposition, such as Gillette had, from a candidate supported by administration aides. An outstanding development in this connection was the announcement of Governor Olin D.

Johnson of South Carolina that he would oppose Smith. Johnston made the announcement after a White House visit. Two candidates declaring themselves 100 per cent for the Roosevelt administration have announced against George. McCarran has opposition and Rep. David Lewis, a follower of White House leadership, has announced his opposition to Tydings in Maryland.

Big Leaders Not Ending Terms The principal leaders 4n the court fight, Wheeler of Montana, Burke of Nebraska and Byrd of Virginia, are not up for election this year. Wheeler, among others, has charged that the White House would like to purge the Democratic party of all those senators who opposed Mr. Roosevelt on the court Issue. Democratic senatorial primaries already held. In which administration officials Indicated a preference between candidates Included: Florida, where Senator Pepper, with the open encouragement of James Roosevelt, defeated Rep.

Wilcox. Alabama, where Rep. Lister II111 won overwhelmingly after a campaign pledging full support to President Roosevelt. Pennsylvania, where Postmaster General Farley urged the selection of Gov. George II.

Earle, who was victorious, over Mayor S. Davis Wilson of Philadelphia. (But Farley, splitting tickets also backed Thomas Kennedy, CIO candidate, for the gubernatorial nomination and Kennedy lost to Charles Alvin Jones). Oregon, where Henry L. Hess defeated Gov.

Charles D. Martin after Secretary Ickes and Senator Norris advocated Hesters nomination. The administration did not figure prominently In the Democratic senatorial primaries which nominated Rep.

Washington, June 7. (AP) Chairman John Hamilton of the Republican national committee said today Senator Gillettes victory in Iowas primary can only be Interpreted as a slap by the Democrats of Iowa at White House interference in purely local contests. Senator Wheeler whom Gillette Joined in fighting the Roosevelt coufTbill last year, said his nomination was a vindication for democracy and a repudiation of the backseat drivers here in Washington. Their attempt to pack the court Hardship for Some Leaving Dust Bowl Portland, June 7. (AP) Meager subsistence in hovels on the fringe of civilization have been the lot of scores of weary men, women and children who left the nations dust bowls in dilapidated automobiles to seek a promised land In Oregon.

For every farmer resettled with money and land from the government, many others have drifted to the back roads, the farm security administration said, scratching out pitiful garden patches in the timber, working for subsistence in the fields and living in makeshift homes. The records of the farm security administration are filled with happy Interviews from families who qualify in money. Implements, stock, and intelligence. For the majority of others, unheard of and unknown, there Is only desolation. Deep in Oregons rich farm, dairy, and orchard region, a middle aged man with a tubercular wife, two sons and three daughters took precarious refuge in their flight from eastern Colorado.

The environment shocked a hardened relief Investigator. The mother and father slept in a trailer more like a box-car. It teetered on its rusty jacks when the wind blew. Chickens wandered In and out the flapping door, at home on a soiled, untidy bed or hopping from broken chair to grubby table. Two boys of pre-school age slept on a bursting mattress in a packing box hut.

The chickens had been (Continued on Page 6, CoL 6) A Storm Death at Parsons Last Night Parsons, June 7.

Salina Plans Clean-up As the Slow Fall in Smoky Hill River Stage Continues Officials Take Health Precautions (By tli AMoaiatad Prn) Galina, June 7. Although the murky waters of the Smoky Hill river still stood several feet deep over the flooded East Salina district, city officials began preparations to give the area a clean bath to wash away the filth which will be left by the dirty ablution forced upon the district last Saturday. Meanwhile the crest of the biggest Smoky swell since the 1903 flood moved down the valley over farmlands and Into towns, below Salina.

Here the stream had fallen more than a half foot at 8 oclock this morning and was continuing a slow but steady drop. The Saline river also was reported falling in eastern Saline county near Its junction with the Smoky. Highway officials now saw little likelihood of the expected blockade of U. S. 40 from the Saline river overflow.

The falling Saline was one encouraging report to the areas below the Saline-Smojy junction. City Manager II. L. Brown said all streets and parkings in the flooded area In Salina would be washed as soon as possible and holes filled with the odorous and dirty Smoky water would be pumped out as measures. Every health precaution was being taken by city and health officials.

Care of refugees was expected to continue for several days and the rehabilitation problem would be attacked by relief agencies. The Red Cross has appeal for a $5,000 locally-raised fund for this work. City officials would make no estimate of the damage to streets and sewers but said they anticipated a heavier loss than In 1927. Property damage likewise cannot be estimated until receding water makes a check of crumpled foundations and caved basements possible. The city hoped for the best at Oakdale Park, one of the finest parks in smaller mlddlewestem cities, where flower beds, shrubbery, lawns, and other improvements were under water.

Left Wing Opportunity to Stop and Think Cherokee, la, June 7.

(AP) Senator Guy M. Gillette said today the result of yesterdays Democratic senatorial primary, in which he apparently won a decisive victory over Representative Otha D. Wearin, will give that left wing group, which started out to control the party nomination in 1940, a very great incentive to stop and think things over. Efforts to reach Congressman Wearin for a statement were unavailing. After repeated telephone calls to his home Hastings the operator reported he will return some time today.

1 "My candidacy had become a symbol of resentment against a well planned attempt by a group outside the state to dictate to Iowa Democracy whom they should send to Washington, Gillette said. This plan would have subverted the constitutional right of a people to be represented In congress by those of their own choosing. I happen to be the candidate against whom the plan was made. I happen to be the first senator coming up for renomination of the group which had voted against the court reorganization. I think that was the Genesis of this plan to which I referred.

The senator added that he did not plan reprisals for the federal officials who took part in the campaign against him. "This is no occasion for personal resentment against any person, he asserted. But I join in the resentment of the people of this state. We showed them the heart of genuine democracy Is beating pretty firmly and strongly. The senator said if elected in the fall he would continue to vote for the welfare of the state and nation, as conscientiously as I can.
