Only ft layman's report on foreign ariairs, and more particularly on foreign af fairs as reflected here, can bo offered In this space. Vet It Is worth re cording that the state department Is now, quite literally, terrified, by the situation abroad. The departmental officials, like the American public, have been fed so long on war scares that they have developed a certain Immunity. Last May, In the first Czechoslovak crisis, and even before the t, the calmest men in the department were deeply disturbed. The present emotion Is however, something different signif icantly different, in view of tho cul tivated imperturballty already men tioned. It was explained rather simply by one comple tely responsible and far from an alarmist official. "As X see It," he said, "we must expect the worst European crisis since the World war before the fort night Is over." Behind this grim statement are the same grim facts seen, but hardly noticed, in every day's newspapers. The Sudeten-Deutsch issue in Czech oslovakia, the Runctman mission, the German mass mobilization, the stim ulated hysteria of the Henleln de mandsall these have been seen In old headlines. And so. for that mat ter, has the solemn Lanark- speech of Sir John Simon, warning Germany In language so much more positive, o much more serious than Sir Ed ward Grey ever ventured to use in 1914. The Interpretation of the expert merely bring these facta Into a pat tern. To begin with the Runclman mission, the officials of the depart ment regard It as having been chiefly Intended to prevent an outburst in Czechoslovakia before the end of the summer war-making season. Lord Runclman Is a ten-minute egg of a man. with a huge shipping fortune, considerable prestige, and little first-hand information on cen tral European affairs. When he was sent to Prague at the beginning of August, the London authorities thought that no one would dare to go to war if they had to shoot over the head of a wandering English peer. It was also hoped that his (Continued on Page Pour.) AUTOIST KILLED IN PLUNGE OFF HIGHWAY GOLD BEACH. Ore.. Aug.

Senatorial candidates with the personal backing of President Roosevelt were on the short ends of Democratic primary returns today from South Carolina and California. Ellison D. Smith crushed Mr. Roosevelt's first effort to unseat a Democratic senator by winning re nomlnatlon in South Carolina. With returns 90 percent complete, the vet eran of 30 years service held a mar gin of more than 27,000 votes over the new deal entry, Gov. Olin IX Johnston. " McAdoo 30,000 Behind Despite repeated presidential aid, Sen. William Glbbs McAdoo was more than 30,000 votes behind Sheridan Downey, who made a novel pension plan an issue. Downey had 236,057 votes to 208,901 for McAdoo with 8,234 of the 12,438 precincts tabu lated. The president, talking over the South Carolina primary with his secretaries, commented. "It is often true it takes a long, long time to bring the past up to the present." Stephen Early, a secretary, who told reporters about the incident, said j also that Mr. Roosevelt had predicted i yesterday Smith would win by 40,- j 000 votes. Senator Smith, told well-wishers in : his home town of Columbia, S. C: "No man dares to come into South Carolina and try to dictate to the sons of those men who held high the hands of Lee and Hampton' Direct Test Seen The race between Smith and John ston was regarded by most politicians as a direct test of new deal strength In South Carolina. This factor was complicated, however, by the personal opposition to Johnston of Edgar A. urown, another new dealer.,, who withdraw from the contest Satur day. The two men long have been at odds In state politics, and there was speculation aa to how many of Brown's followers voted for Smith. Senator Smith was the fourth foe of the Roosevelt court bill to win renomination this summer. His vic tory was heartening to supporters of Senators George of Georgia and Tyd ings of Maryland, for whose defeat Mr. Roosevelt has appealed. In California, there was no new deal issue between Downey and Mc Adoo, 74-year old former secretary of the treasury. Both expressed sup port of the president's program, al though some of their trailing oppon ents had indicated varying degrees of opposition. McAdoo, however, had voiced out spoken criticism of Downey's pension proposal. So had the president. The scheme provides all unemployed per sons in the state over 60 years old would receive $30 a week In scrip. This could be used to pay taxes or buy goods from any merchants who would accept it.

Aug. 31. (AP) Stunning failure of the first White House effort to oust a senator from the "solid south" supplied a new guauge today of New Deal popularity In Democracy's traditional strong hold. Ellison D. Smith was returned by South Carolina Democrats to the senate, Uhere he has served 30 years. In all but name .Mr. Roosevelt had asked his defeat, summing up his anti-New Deal Ism by saying Smith thought "In terms of the past." Across the continent, in California. William G. McAdoo, another Roose velt favorite, was trailing Sheridan Downey, but after a campaign pre senting a less clear-cut New Deal i Issue. i Capital politicians placed much emphasis on Downey's proposal for paying the unemployed (30 a week In seeking to evaluate his primary leadership. Should McAdoo lose In the final count, he would be the second New Deal lncumbentj cut off the senate's to D. Worth Clark, who announced he would not be a "rubber stamp." Smith was the fourth opponent of the president's court bill to be re nominated this year. None has been defeated so far. Out of the South Carolina result rose several political questions: Is 8mlth's victory any Indication of the outcome in Georgia and Mary land, where the administration Is opposing renomination of Senators George and Tydlngs? (Smith pro tested against "forces from without' entering state politics; George and Tydlngs have done likewise.) How much did Mr. Roosevelt's per sonal prestige suffer through the del eat? Will southern "conservatives" com pose a formidable opposition bloc to Roosevelt legislation in the next congress and to nomination of a New Deal presidential candidate In 1940? Supporters of George and Tydlngs promptly hailed Smith's victory as a good omen, but there was no evi dence from the White House Mr, Roosevelt would alter his determina tion to seek the defeat of both.

MCADOO Veteran Senator William G. Mc Adoo was trailing Sheridan Doivney today as votes were being rounted In California's primary race for the democratic nomination for I). S. senator. Downey's chief campaign bid was support of a plan to provide $30 weekly pension for those over fifty. J30-PER-WEEK PLAN FOR SPOT ON BALLOT SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31. (AP) California's "$30 - a-week-for - life" pension plan weathered one legal at tack by its opponents In the state supreme court today, and won the right to go Jo a vote of the people in November. . The court also refused to grant writs to keep two other Initiative measures off the ballot. They are the so-called single tax plan and a picket regulatory measure framed by the California committee for peace In In dustrial relations. A major factor In yesterday's pri mary election, the proposal was strongly backed by Sheridan Downey, who has rolled up a commanding lead over Senator William Glbbs Mc Adoo In the democratic senatorial race. In a statement prior to the elec tion, President Roosevelt said the measure could be described as a short cut to Utopia. The court did not pass on the constitutionality or the plan, but In a 10-page opinion Issued without any dissent held merely that legal re quirements had been met and the electorate had the right to vote on the proposal. F.D.R. SADDENED BY MARYLAND AD WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. (IP) - President Roosevelt said today lie had been amused and then saddened by what he termed an hysterical statement In Maryland newspaper advertisements urging the people to resist his 'Invasion" of the state next week-end.

David J, Lewis, administration supporter. The chief executive will make a Labor Day speech at Denton, Md.. next Monday in which he will hav an opportunity, if he wishes, to show further his preference for Lewis. Government Loses S ACts.

Dies, en route to Texas, telephoned his statement here after the com mittee received from the secretary of labor a blunt rejection of Its de mand Bridges be deported because he was a communist. Complaint laughable 'It is laughable for a member of an executive department, especially Miss Perkins, to complain a congress- mar was trying to usurp the func tions of a government department,1 Dies said. "All that I am asking as a member of congress is she enforce the law In the Bridges case, which she has not done to this date. "I do not know what factors she alludes to in her statement unless they are political, because the de partment file does not reveal even a plausible excuse for the astonishing action of tho secretary In practically dropping the Bridges case. If she waits until the supreme court acts upon the Strecker case, as announced the witnesses will all be gone and there will be no use to proceed." Terming the demand an attempt to usurp the duties of an executive department, Miss Perkins wrote Chairman Dls (D., Tex.) of the house committee investigating un Amerlcnnlsm: Due Process Necessary "The fact communists are unpopu lar, and I agree in this, does not Justify us In placing within that category every other unpopular per son, nor in deporting them without a scrupulous regard for the due process of law, and clear and cer tain ruling of the courts and the facte In the case. "Perhaps It la fortunate Shirley Temple was born an American citi zen and we will not have to debate the Issue raised by the preposterous revelations of your committee In regard to this Innocent and likeable child."
