WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. There
perns to be a split In the Union party.
The great coalition is not coalescing.
First noticeable signs developed
when the origi
nal1 Joint barn
storming trip
was quietly drop
ped. The coadju
tors, the Revs.
and Drs. Cough
lln Tft w n send.
f I 313 Smith and their
presiacnum
dldate. & con-
I gressnmn by the
name or Lemno,
were to have
stormed the hin
terlands trom the
same soap box.
Latest word from headquartera Is
that they may meet on two speaking
occasions during the campaign, but
no more. And aome authorities
around headquartera suspect that
even these two occasions will never
occur.
The main trouble seems to be that
there are too many trumpets In the
band.
Associates of Father Coughlln re
fetm Kiirrkntlv runntns hla fin
gers through his hair and wondering
how he ever came to get tied up with
the Rev. Gerald Smith. They picture
the microphone maestro as a deeply
serious and sincere man who doea
not favor the methods of Huey Long's
old organizer. Some of Gerald'a
funny stories particularly offend the
dignity of the economist assailant of
the federal reserve bank.
Gerald's pals, however, .say It may
be only a matter of professional Jeal
niiav. Bmith'a stories were enthu
siastically received by; Coughlln fol
lowers at hla convention, In fact,
more enthusiastically than Coughlln a
economic dissertations.
Regardless of which explanation la
right; the situation does not augur
well for the unity of the unionists.
Also for a time, recently, doubts
were Increasing among unionist a
to whether Dr. Townsend had been
unionized.
They think now that they have
all that straightened out: that the
real estate doctor Is working hand in
glove with Imk and Smith. Tot

Whether such action would be nee

day's attempt to sink the destroyer
eff the Spanish coast, already haa
made awlft and emphatlt protest to
the Madrid regime and the rebels .
calling, on. them to prevent another
t,uch incident.
Although manifestly hopeful that
i:o new Incident of that character will
occur, navy department attaches said
a commanding officer's first consider

sees fit to Insure that protection.
