FARLEY AND F. R. SAT THBV
ARE IN COMPLETE ACCORD
STATEMENT LAYS FEAR
OF SPLIT OVER PURGE
' '
FARLEY REPEATS
"ROOSEVELT MADE ME"
INVALUABLE AID IN
PRIMARY FIGHTS 'SEEN
WASHINGTON, Aug. 39. After the
direst predictions, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt and James Aloyslus Farley
still remain the closest friends. Wora
comes from Hyde Park that the part
ners in politics spent a long rural
day together; that they talked over
everything under the sun, and that
they found themselves 'In complete
agreement." There have been times
when the president announced he was
"In complete agreement" with a sub
ordinate Just before kicking him
downstairs, but this does not look
like one of them.
The two men must have had a lot
to discuss. They had not seen one
another since early In July, and. In
the Interval, the president had det
lnltely committed himself to a ma
lor political venture the purge.
Jim Farley fought the purge from
the start. He was against the inte
ference In Florida on behalf of th?
talkative Claude Pepper, Just as he
Is now opposed to the attack
George In Georgia, and Cotton Od
Smith In South Carolina. In Oregon,
In Iowa, even In Kentucky, his sym
pathies were openly or privately with
the side In disfavor at the White
House. As everyone knows, It's only
In Maryland, where he has a personal
grudge against Millard Tydings, that
Jim has been pro-purge. Under the
circumstances, the dire predictions of
a Farley-Roosevelt break are not sur
nrlslruT.
Yet now Jim turns up "In com
plete agreement" with the president
Assistant to the attorney general Jo.
seph B. Keenan, favorite political
fixer of the White House crowd, has
Just sailed for Parts. Within the last
two or three days, several leading
members of the purge committee
have scattered for brief rests or va
cations. And Jim, their enemy, Is
spending happy days at Hyde Park
When Jim Farley got back from
Alaska, he was deeply concerned
about the talk of his troubles with
the president. His greatest pride Is
hla friendship with the occupant or
the White House; his first loyalty is
to him. When he talks of their re J a
tlonshlp, he has a habit of repeating,
"Roosevelt made me, and I'm never
forgetting that."
At the same time, It's undeniable
that the two . men don't see eye to
eye on the future of the Democratic
party. Jim is for any Democrat,

.Plain Warning Of War.
STRASBOURG, France. Aug. 29.
(AP) A surprise visit by Chancellor
Adolf Hitler to the French-German
border, at a moment when French
troops were about to begin maneuvers
and Germans were working on forti
fications, today brought the tense In
ternational situation Into new promi
nence. . ,
Hitler suddenly appeared at Kehl,
Just across the Rhine frontier from
Strasbourg, at 9 p. m., accompanied
by a staff of generals taking Inhabi
tants on his own side of the frontier
so much by surprise they failed to
have out the usual welcoming flags.
The Fuehrer made a rapid inspec
tion of fortifications near the Ger
man end of the Kehl International
bridge and departed at 10:30 a. m :
Some reports said he was on his way
to inspect other frontier forts.
All traffic between Strasbourg and
Keni was halted during the visit.
It served to Intensify the atmo
sphere of anxiety in France that has
been caused by the German mobiliza
tion for maneuvers across the Rhine
and the1 stiff attitude of Germany

Viscount Runciman, Britain's un
official mediator In the dispute be
tween Czechoslovakia and her Sude
ten German minority, waited Impa
tiently for action by Konrad Hen-
lein, the minority's Leader.
Lord Rnnclman conferred with
Henleln last night and Informed
persons said he was eager to fulfill
his peace-making role with speed in
order to remove the Increasing men
ace to peace in the Sudeten German
problem.
Britain's ambassador to Geimany
today personally laid before heads
of his government In London a re
port on Germany's reaction to the
British week-end warning to Berlin
to take no step that might drag
Europe into war.
Germans Resentful
That reaction was known to be
resentful. London's next step after
the warning contained in the speech
of Sir John Simon Saturday was
believed to depend on the ambas
sador's Judgment of how far -such
resentment would be expressed In
Oerman action.
It was expected ' if the ambas
sador. Sir Nevlle Henderson,- was
convinced Chancellor Hitler was pre
paring to give military aid to the
autonomy-demanding Sudeten Ger
mans of Czechoslovakia, the British
cabinet, meeting tomorrow, Vould
authorize a still more vigorous
warning to Germany.
Some quarters expressed the be
lief the cabinet might make plain
Britain would fight In the event
of wsr In central Europe.
But If Sir Nevlle thinks war Is
not an Immediate danger, observers
said. Chamberlain may send only a
personal message urging Hitler to
preserve peace.
Maneuvers Complicate
Complicating' the situation were
the military maneuvers of the three
great powers most closely Involved
Germany, Britain and France.
Behind the tension was the ex
pectation that next week Germany
will be on a virtual war footing,
with 1,000,000 men under arms In
gl gun tic maneuvers.
France moved men to her Oerman
and Italian borders for war games
Britain called her fleet to North sea
stations for routine exercises. The
British home army was ordered into
war games in a half-dozen sectors.

best Interests of South Carolina."
In California, Senator McAdoo is
opposed by John W. Preston, who
says he la "no rubber stamp":
Sheridan Downey, advocate of the
Townsend pension program, and
James W. Mellen, an avowed anti-
New. Dealer.'
Downey's proposal for a 30-a-weeek

ahore, which some polltlclana have
called a Tydings stronghold.
Tydings' colleague, Senator George
Radcllffe, spoke In hla behalf last
night. Radcllffe. who has been re
garded aa a Roosevelt supporter,
Bald: "The Democrats ,of Maryland
are accustomed to seleot their own
standard bearers. That right
we will not surrender to anyone."
Choose Delegates
Connecticut Democrats today were
choosing delegates who will select
their senatorial nominee at a con
vention next month. Senator Au
gustine Lonergan, crltlo of some
Roosevelt policies, la opposed by

mann and Archibald McNeil, former
national committeeman. Both the
latter are New Dealers. ,
