(Br the Associated Press)
Some shifts in present political
lineuos occurred in yesterday's pri
maries in eight states but generally
national figures were renominated
bv their respective parties.
Returns indicated the "new deal"
issue nlayed a big part in the out
come but local controversies preoom-
inated in many contests, particular
ly in Louisiana where Senator Huey
P. Long's candidates rode to victory
in New Orleans.
Close races for the democratic and
republican senatorial nominations in
Washington gave Lewis B. Schwel-
lenbach a lead over the democratic
field, with John C. Stevenson run
ning close behind. Reno Odlln, Ol
ympia banker, who trailed at first,
was ahead of the republican candi
date for the senatorship.
Washington's six democratic con
gressmen were re-nominated in the
largest democratic vote ever polled
in a primary in that state, indicat
ing a swing toward the new deal.
In the northeast, however, Sen
ator Warren R. Austin, republican
anti-new dealer, was re-nomlnated
in Vermont. He will face Fred C

DEVALERA ASKS
RUSSIAN STAND
Geneva, Sept. 12 (LP) Demand
that Russia give assurances that re.
llgious freedom will be permitted in
the Soviet Union before she is ad
mitted to the league of nations, was
made today by Eamonn De Vaiera,
nresldent of the Irish Free State, in
an address to the league of nations.
De Vaiera heatedly protested the
secret "hotel room meetings" in
which the question of Soviet admlss
ablllty to the league was discussed,
alleging that such arrangements de
prived small nations of their voice
in the matter.
The tall Irish leader announced
that although the Free State and
the Soviets are opposltes so far as
religious and other aspects are con
cerned," the Free State demanded
that the political committee decide
th admission procedure.
Russia, De Vaiera Insisted, is not
privileged, but must be subject to
the same oDiigations as otner mem
bers.
"I must admit I would be happier,
as the representative of a country
which has suffered much religious
persecution, if Russia gave the lea
gue the same assurances given the
United States when the two coun
tries resumed diplomatic relations,"
he said. "The day is gone when en
lightened governments can deny re
ligious freedom."

ABUSE OF RELIEF
EXPLAINED BY F.D.
Hvde Park. N. Y.. Sent. 12 (LP)
President Roosevelt believes there Is
just as much democratic as republi
can politics in the relief situation,
He said today that the administra
tion is correcting matters as fast as
they are called to the attention of
Washington.
Mr. Roosevelt's views on the relief
situation were given when he was
reminded that some administration
officials had laid full blame on the
republicans.
The difficulties, the president said,
were the result of the Inefficiency of
local persons In picking out those
who go on relief rolls.
Every week, he added, Washington
was getting reports of individuals
who were found to be using renei
for any purpose other than for
which it was intended.

New York, Sept. 12 UP) George
W. Rogers, chief radio operator of
the burned liner Morro Castle, tes
tified at a government Inquiry today
that some time ago his first assis
tant, George Alagna and another
operator "tried to instigate discon
tent on the ship."
Rogers testified hesitantly on
this point and only after he receiv

not to be present. The witness said
he feared his statements might be
misconstrued.
Dickerson N. Hoover, conducting
the inquiry for the department of
commerce, told Rogers he wanted
to learn whether discipline was
maintained aboard the liner.
"Some time ago there was a strike
among the radio operators," Rog

the shin bv seeking signatures to a
protest that the food on the ship
was bad."
Rogers testified that one opera

in New York," and added that
when he became chief operator
"things went along quite smoothly."
The chief operator said that Cap

announced today that the A.A.A.'s
sheep purchase program was under
way. Purchase of sheep and goats
began today in all the counties in
the Inter-mountain region where the
necessary forms have been delivered,
Wallace said.
"We expect to purchase between
four and five million head of sheep
and goats and before completing the
program. Development of feed re
sources and improved weather con
ditions may make It possible for us
to cut the program short," Wallace
said.
The federal government Is paying

areas. Those animals which can be
shipped to packing plants are to be
butchered and turned over to the
federal emergency relief administra

LEVINE FAILS
TO KILL SELF
New York, Sept. 12 (LP) Charles
A, Levine, whose undisciplined in
dividuality carried him- from rags
to riches and front page publicity
in the trans-Atlantic flying hysteria
of 1927, sat down at a table In the
kitchen of a friend's home today
and turned on five gas jets.
Not long before dawn, when the
friend found him, the man who once
hired Clarence Chamberlain to fly
him from New York to Europe lay
face downward across the table. He
was unconscious.
At his elbow were three notes,
written in ink. One asked "for
giveness" of his friend, A. J. Walter.
Another struck one of those fan
tastic, mysterious chords which
were frequent in Levine's career,
li was addressed merely to "Dedo."
Like many of Levine's more spec
tacular enterprises, the drama of
the scene in the Walters' kitchen
failed at the last moment. Walters
called police. An ambulance phy-
6ician and two policemen brought
oxygen tanks and an lnnalator and
revived him.
Levino's career In recent years
had dipped downward from the
peak which he attained In the late
twenties by building a fortune of
several million while dealing in
war-time Junk and then turning
to more hazardous and publicity-
inviting ventures In the field of
aviation and romance on an inter
national scale.
WANTS LINERS
FIRE PROOFED
Hyde Park, Sept. 12 'P) Presi
dent Roosevelt expects congress to
enact legislation requiring passen
ger ships to be constructed as com
pletely fireproof as possible, as a
result of the Morro Castle disaster.
The president disclosed today in
his regular press conference that
he wants all-steel passenger vessel;
and believes that even equipment
material can be made of fire proof
material.
The Morro Castle was a steel ship.
He feels that steel passenger ships
can be constructed and that almost
every piece of equipment in pas
senger ships can be of a reasonably
fire proof material.
Mr. Roosevelt refrained today
from passing any Judgment on the
Morro Castle burning pending con
clusion of the investigation, but he
left no doubt that he expected con
gress to act at the next session.
In response to an inquiry he said
if any facts warranted it he ex
pected the department of justice
to stand by for action.
In connection with shipping he
added that he intended to see to
it that American merchant marine
is maintained, and added it wa&
necessary that government subsidies
be continued to assure this. He
said a subsidy was to be given as
such and not by the route of ocean
mail contracts or other forms.
