PRESIDENT DECIDED TAKE
RISK AFTER FINAL SURVEY
WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. -The Geor
gia, and South Carolina primaries aro
as full of shenanigans as a Carolina
pine barren la of chiggers. Yet after
a trip southward to observe the goings-on,
the picture which, strangely,
remains clearest In the mind Is one
of the president at work. That waa a
far more Interesting spectacle than
the ornate demagogy of Gene Tal
madge and Cotton Ed Smith, the bus
iness politics of Walter George, the
honest plugging of Lawrence Camp,
or the natty salesmanship of Olln
Johnston.
From the moment the president
disembarked at Pensacola. anyone
could see that he was In top form.
Bronzed by the sun. with all his
somewhat appalling energy restored
by a few days of doing nothing, he
could not have been more physically
fit. Temporarily relieved of the pres
sure of scores of great and petty
problems, he was ready to decide and
to act. How he did decide daringly,
and act drastically, everyone knows
who hss read the reports from Geor
gia. The striking thing was how he
made his decision. It both waa and
wasn't a snap judgment. Long before
he left Washington, the question of
what to do about Walter George had
been expansively debated at the
White House. Aggressive new deal
advisers like WpA Administrator Har
ry L. Hopkins had urged that there
was nothing to lose and everything to
gain by an open fight against tho
conservative southerner. Organisa
tion Democrats like Jim Parley had
argued that George would probably
win anyway, that George's supporters
had been for-Roosevelt-before-Chlca-go
men, and that there was nothing
to gain and everything to lose. The
president had seen fully a score of
Georgian, who come to tell him to
attack George or lie low according
aa their sympathies lay.
Before he went west, the president
had half-Involved himself. After a
hasty canvass of possible candidates.
White House Secretary Marvin Mc
Intyre had been sent to Georgia to
get Lawrence Camp in the senatorial
race as the new deal favorite. Geor-

SOVIET AND JAPAN

Russians Reveal Jap Troops
Moved Into Advanced Po
sitions After Armistice
Japs Claim Russ Dug In
By the Associated Press
Soviet Russia and Japan accused
each other today of violating the
Changkufeng truce on the Stberlan
Manchoukuoan frontier.
The Soviet government Indicated
there almost had been a new clash
aftr the August 1 1 truce which
ended, at least temporarily, the men
ace of large-scale warfare on that
far eastern front.
It charged Japanese troops had
moved Into advanced positions after
the armistlco and were withdrawn
after a warning to Tokyo.
Domel (Japanese news agency) de
clared Russia had broken the truce
by constructing dugouts within the
arranged no-man's land.
Keep On Digging.-
Japanese protested, the news agency
said, and received assurances Russia
would observe the truce, but con
struction of the dugouts continued
In the 180-yard-wlde neutral zone.
Britain and France gave evidence
of considerable concern over Ger
many's exercises close to the Czecho
slovak and French frontiers. .
Europe's anxiety arose primarily
from fear a border Incident might
provoke a conflict.
Spanish Insurgents declared they
had driven government forces at
bayonet point from the P a n d o s
mountains, backbone of their Oand
esa sector In southern Catalonia, in
hand-to-hand fighting described as
one of the bloodiest actions of the
war.
On the Estremadura front. In'
southwestern Spain, the insurgents
slowly closed in on the rich Alma
den mercury mining area. '
Jap Gains Slight
A survey of the Yangtze river front
In China showed Japanese gains
have been almost negligible since
the capture July 26 of Kluklangi
13ft. mile downriver from -Hankow-.
China's provisional capital.
Chinese military authorities de
clared each day of delay cost the
Japanese so heavily In men. money
and material that stalemate was
equivalent to a Chinese victory.
Japanese warplanes again bombed
Canton, In south China, and the
Canton-Hankow railroad, supply art
ery for Chinese forces.
