New Deal Faces Test
Illinois Primary Race To Show Strength of Rebellious Legislators
WASHINGTON, April 3 —<Ui?)— The 1938 primary election season, shadowed by the current congressional revolt of conservative Democrats against new deal reforms which has weakened President Roosevelt's grip on the party, opens in Illinois nine days hence.
Thirty-four U. S. senators, 33 governors and the 435 members of the house of representatives will be nominated before the contests end for September 20. General elections will be held on November 8 in all states except Maine where balloting will be held on September 12.
The terms of seven Republican governors and three Republican senators. James J. Davis, Pennsylvania; Gerald P. Nye, North Dakota; and Ernest Gibson, Vermont, expire this year.
The eve of the primaries finds the new deal democratic front split in many sectors. The outcome of the party feuds in at least two pivotal states, Illinois and Pennsylvania, may have a vital effect on the presidential election in 1940.
In Illinois, national interest centers on the struggle between Gov. Henry Homer’s down-state democratic organization and the (Took county forces led by Mayor Edward J. Kelly and Patrick A. Nash, of Chicago, to name the successor to Sen. William H. Dieterich, a Democrat. Horner is backing Rep. Scott Lucas while the Kelly-Nash machine is supporting U. S. District Attorney Michael L. Igoe.
The statement, released by Committee Chairman David I. Walsh, D„ Massachusetts, said that regardless of future relations between the United States and the Philippine commonwealth, it is in the interest of national security to continue naval superiority over Japan.
POWER RATIO UPHELD
“Quite irrespective of what may be the future disposition of the Philippine islands,” the statement said, “it is believed to be in the interest of the security of the United States to adhere to the principle of the 5-5-3 ratio, unless the political situation in the Pacific shall have been so altered as to permit agreement upon some other basis.”
The state department’s position, outlined at Walsh's request, came on the eve of the senate naval affairs committee’s hearings on President Roosevelt’s $1,121,000,000 navy expansion bill, which would give the United States the most powerful fleet afloat.
JAPAN REFUSES ASSURANCE
Pointing out that Japan has refused to give any assurances that she would be bound by any restrictions upon naval construction, the state department said the United States must build her national defense accordingly.
The statement, approved by Secretary of State Cordell Hull who

Noted Pair Whitewash Mark Twain's Fence
HANNIBAL, Mo., April 3—C.P)—A noted author and a college president peeled off their coats today and whitewashed an unpainted section of fence in front of the boyhood home of Mark Twain.
Author Christopher Morley and Carter Davidson, Knox college president. made a pilgrimage to the literary shrine and noticed a dozen new pickets on the fence separating the Mark Twain museum and the writer’s home.
This, they decided, was the spot where Tom Sawyer, prototype of Mark Twain, tricked his playmates into whitewashing Aunt Polly's fence.
With the consent of Mrs. Margaret Lakin, curator, the two secured brush, bucket, lime and water, and whitewashed the fence.
