Dodge that the house burst into flame
with amazing suddenness, that one
moment It waa dark and the next It
waa burning in . several different
places.

HAMILTON INTERPETS
AS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. (AP)
Chairman John Hamilton of the Re
publican national committee Inter
preted Senator Berkley's re nomina
tion In Kentucky today as "an omen
of Republican success this fall."
At about the same time. Senator
Burke (D-Neb.), who has frequently
opposed the administration, suggest
ed Berkley's victory over Gov. A. B.
Chandler "put him In the running as
one of the contenders for the presi
dential nomination 1 1940."
Burke added to reporters, however:
"But I am for (Vice President)
Garner. I have Just one choice."
Hamilton based his interpretation
on the size of the vote cast for
Chandler after a campaign In which
President Roosevelt's appeal for re-
nomination of Senator Barkley was a
major Issue.
Referring to the Chandler vote,
Hamilton said In a statement:
"If that Is the way Democrats feel
about the president, it la clear Re
publicans will- be elected In large
numbers this fall tn mics. states as
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi
gan. ' Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and
dozen others where the two major
parties are more evenly balanced than
they are In Kentucky."

Two Friction Point
An abridged text of th Litvinoff
Shlgemitsu conversation, published
In Tokyo, Indicated two point of
friction:
1. Russian Insistence that th die- ;
puted Changkufeng area be returned
to the statu quo of before July W,
when the Japanese captured It,
against Japanese Insistence It be re
turned to the statu quo of before
July 11, when Soviet troops fortified

i. Conflicting Interpretations of
the 1888 treaty between China and
Russia, which the Soviet government
said fixed the Manchoukuoan-Slber-lan
line.
' In China, meanwhile, Chines and
Japanese bombing planea exchanged
aerial blowa. Chinese aald they had
sunk three and damaged four other
Japanese warahlpa In the Yangtze
river. Thirty persons were killed and
40 wounded In a Japanese air raid at

swampy shores of the Yengtse with
heavy Japanese casualties. But there
appeared to be no major change on
the Yangtze front where Japan'a of
