LTD an Tilt -Back Bed Davenport IN WASHINGTON mm RELIEF NEED Believes Government Help and Unemployment Insurance to Proceed for Long Time (By Associated Press) SEATTLE, Sept. 17. Works prog ress Administrator Harry Hopkins today foresaw a "great Federal Gov ernment work program continuing indefinitely, possibly 20 years or more, on his arrival for a brief vis it before heading south for California. "I look to such a program, plug unemployment insurance, as the only way to take care of our classes of permanent unemployed," he said.

Despite the nation's WPA relief load now reaching' a new peak for the past two years, Hopkins said he expected the present appropriation to last into or through February. He spoke at a press interview. The Pacific coast states, he said, have a particular need for a long time Government work program of some kind because of the problem of itinerant workers. Mentioning Alf M. Landon by name, he said that Landon's recent Oklahoma speech to the effect that WPA workers "stay on relief rolls forever," was untrue and that Lan don "did not know what he was talking about." "The monthly national turnover on WPA rolls is about 6 per cent," he said.

He said the present rate of WPA spending was about $175,000,000 a month. PUBLISHER TESTIFIES NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Victor F. Ridder, publisher and former New Deal WPA administrator, today told a congressional subcommittee investigating un-American activities, he was convinced no one could hold 'office in the workers alliance unless he was a Communist party member.

Ridder, publisher of the New Torker Staats-Zeitung, was questioned by Representative Joe Starnes, Alabama Democrat, chairman of the subcommittee at the closing session of a three-day hearing. "My first interest in the question of subversive activities was aroused when I was WPA administrator in the city of New York," Ridder said. "I was interested in dealing with the delegations that came to me, from two groups particularly, the city projects council and the workers alliance. "Through contact with these delegates I became interested in their activities. At first I dealt with them on the theory that there was no reason why WPA workers should not have an organization, but I found out after a short while that the object of these groups was not constructive.

They came to me with demands they knew I could not meet. Their technique was to waste the time of the administrator. "I received copies of publications of the alliance and from them I had come to conclusion that it was largely a Communist-led organization. I have been told, and it is only hearsay and was told to me by my investigators, that you cannot be an officer of the workers alliance unless you hold a membership card in the Communist party. I believe that to be true." Dr.

Business men who have felt for some time that only the election of an independent Congress would give the economic system the stimulus it needs have derived some encouragement from the President's failure to carry the various primary contests in which he made a personal issue against incumbent Senators. There can be no doubt now that, even in his own party, Mr. Roosevelt cannot always command a majority. If this indicates a nucleus of Democratic voters which may cast their ballots for Republican nominees as against rubber stamp New Dealers who were unopposed for their respective nominations, a big upset may be developing for the administration. Unemployment will hurt the administration candidates in the industrial districts of the north, though the New Deal is struggling desperately to overcome this obstacle by putting more persons on the WPA rolls than at any previous time in the last five years.

After election, a considerable drop in the WPA rolls may be anticipated. (Copyright, 1938) 4 Britisher Apologizes To Japanese Sentry TIENTSIN, Sept. 17. The Japanese Domei news agency reported that an unnamed British army officer had presented a written apology to Japanese authorities for slapping a Japanese railway sentry in the East station this week. The agency said a clash was narrowly averted between British and Japanese forces at the time.

British officials minimized the incident describing it as an altercation during the loading of motor trucks. It's downright handsome in its green or rust covers of long wearing tapette.

European Situation Said Aimed At Depriving Her of French, Czechoslovakian Support By NORMAN DEUEL (United Press Correspondent) MOSCOW, Sept. 17. Soviet Russia tonight interpreted developments in the European crisis as the beginning of a move to isolate this country and draw Britain and France into a united front of capitalist nations against communism. "German Chancellor Adolf Hitler's main objective in Czechoslovakia is not to protect his oppressed German brethren (the Sudeten Germans), but to bring pressure upon Czechoslovakia to abrogate her pacts of mutual assistance with France and the U.S.S.R.," the Geneva correspondent of the newspaper Izvestia telegraphed. BRITISH 'HUMILIATION' The correspondent viewed British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's action in flying to Germany to confer with Hitler as a "pro found humiliation for Britain, com parable to the exploits of the Chris tian martyrs who stopped at no sacrifices in order to preach the gospel.

Reflecting the views of the Soviet commissar for foreign affairs, Maxim Litvinov, the correspondent as serted that "Chamberlain is ready to suffer any loss of British pres tige in order to preserve peace." ANTI-SOVIET AXIS As the Russians viewed the situation, Germany's moves are part of the general program of the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo axis which was formed to isolate this country and eventually destroy the Soviet experiment in Communist government. The first step, Moscow believed, will be to break the alliances of the U.S.S.R. with France and Czechoslovakia and substitute for them a four-powers agreement among Germany, Italy, France and Britain for the general preservation of European peace. Japan would be loosely bound in sucp an agreement because of her agreements with Germany and Italy against the Moscow Communist international and would attempt to isolate Russia in the Ori ent just as Germany is attempting to isolate this country in Europe. LUMBER "WE SELL EVERYTHING TO BUILD ANYTHING" FRED CHAPIN LUMBER CO.

Highland and Mt. Vernon Ave. Phone 401-87 Candied Yams 44c TODAY WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. Noth ing very new or startling has been uncovered by the primary elections this week.

For some time, it has been an accepted rule in politics that a President cannot transfer his strength to another candidate un less both are on the same ticket in the same election. Likewise, it has been an accepted rule that, when a President or any other outside in fluence interferes in a local contest, the resentment against intervention is apt to obscure the issues and create an altogether different issue. Few people who know Maryland politics, for Instance, will doubt that Representative Lewis is much stronger than the vote indicated. Any man who has served the public interest as well as has Mr. Lewis these many years would have fared far better without the President's help than with it.

Likewise, in the three-cornered race in Georgia won by Senator George, the results show that even such a bitter foe of the Roosevelt administration as former Governor Talmadge made a better showing than did the hand-picked candidate of the administration, Lawrence Camp. Here again it was apparent that the people appraised the candidates in their own way and without regard to the advice of Mr. Roosevelt or any of the other New Dealers in Washington. PURGE BAD FLOP The President's "purge" campaign has been a very bad flop so far as the voting results are concerned. Whether it will serve to scare some of the spineless members of Congress or whether it will give some of them new courage remains to be determined.

Certainly, from a practical political standpoint, the President may well wash his hands of the whole purge business now. He can readily say to the amateurs at his side, the left wingers who deal in theoretical rather than practical politics: "Well, I've tried out your theory but parties are parties, and in 1946, was unconstitutional because "neither Congress nor any other governmental agency has authority to alienate the sovereignty of the United States over the Philippines except when it is expressly or Impliedly contained in the Constitution." The league is not mentioned in his brief. He cited supreme court decisions in various territorial cases purporting to show that Congress lacks authority to transfer sovereignty of any territory, or public domain of the United States. Asserting that all executive, legislative and judicial offices created by the Tydings-McDuffie law were illegal, Gancy asked that the Jones By David Lawrence congressional contests are a law unto themselves." It will be interesting to see whether the President soothes the wounds of the primary campaigns. He doesn't have to do that in the southern states, where nomination is equivalent to an election, but he certainly will have to support Senator Tydings in Maryland, where there's a sizeable Republican vote.

The chances are he will ignore the individual contests now and make a general appeal for a Democratic Congress, defepding the all-embracing nature of his appeal with the argument that there are many more New Dealers than anti-New Dealers running on the Democratic ticket and that the party label can, therefore, be supported in its entirety. This does not mean that Mr. Roosevelt may not here and there support a liberal Republican of the Norris type, but, on the whole, his energies may be expected to be em ployed to help keep the Democratic majority in both houses of Con gress. From now on, attention win be centered on Republican versus Democratic contests Instead of con servative-liberal cleavage within the Democratic party. How many seats in the House will the Republicans win? This is an off-year election and no Presidential candidates -are on the same ticket with the congressional nominees.

As happened in the primaries, this makes the election very largely a local affair, without very much emphasis on national issues except as the interests of a section or region may color the controversy. Various estimates have been made as to Republican victories in the November test. It would seem that a gain of 25 to 30 Republican seats would be a considerable setback for the New Deal because of the trend which it would show for 1940. Anything above 25 or 30 would mean a deep-seated reverse from 1936 and would be regarded as very sigmfi- organic act of 1918 be declared the supreme law of the Philippine islands.
