Lewis, for he was reported ready to back Pinchot if Kennedy lost. Senator James J. Davis was renominated by a heavy majority. Both Senator Guffey appear to have lost their claims to political leadership. Lewis had boasted that he controlled 800,000 C. I. O. votes in Pennsylvania, but the best he could do was 520,600. Earle, though he came out on top, was considered to have lost prestige greatly by the accusations of mis- rule made against his administra- tion. His presidential aspirations were believed wrecked. The C. 1. O. has lost other polit- fights, but none so important as this. President William Green of the American Federation of La- bor called the vote a complete ‘“‘re- pudiation of the C. 1. O. leader- ship.” He added: “It now has become abundantly clear that no candidate who bears the C. 1. O. brand can be elected to high office in this country. The primaries proved the C. 1. O. is a political liability, not a political power.” ny was ar ical 2 Japanese Take Suchow Tokyo gave out word that the Japanese forces had captured virtually all of Suchow, the impor- tant rail junction city in Central China. The assault force fought its way through a hail of Chinese fire and there was furious hand-to-hand fighting in the streets. Then other forces stormed the walls from other sides of the city. A foreign office spokesman said Japan would now push on to Han- kow, the capture of which is re- garded as necessary from a strate- gic standpoint, Some 200,000 Chinese troops were said by the Japanese to be trapped in the Lunghai zone, but it was like- ly many of them would be able to escape. mime F.D.R.

Red Tape Study T HERE have been frequent com- plaints that the government is requiring the filing of too many re- ports and the filling out of too many questionnaires by business, Now the President has ordered a study of these red tape demands by the central statistical board, asking Chairman Rice to see if it would be possible to consolidate the fact. finding activities of the various de- partments. rear Plane Crash Kills Nine N INE persons were killed in the rash of a luxury air liner on a mq TU ice t far from Los An- geles.

The retirement of West marks a complete victory for Secretary Ickes in their long feud. Only recently Ickes dismissed all but one of West's office assistants and then turned the office over to Assistant Secretary Ebert K. Burlew. Their feud began when the President named West to the post without consulting Ickes. White House Secretary Steve Ear- ly announced the President was looking about for another post for West. aeons Woman Ambassador ? United States will be represented at Moscow by a woman, for Mrs. Charles C. Broy is under considera- tion for the post of American ambassa- dor to Soviet Russia, which Joseph E. Davies recently re- linquished to be- coine ambassador to Belgium. Mrs. Broy, who is a Texan by birth, is the wife of an Amer- ican foreign service officer and the wid- ow of Representa- tive Thomas U, Sis- son of Mississippi. She was recom- mended for the ambassadorship by the chairmen of the foreign rela- tions and foreign affairs committees of congress, and has the backing of many prominent members of con- gress. If appointed and confirmed, she will be the first American wom- an to be an ambassador. Mrs. Broy was officially present- ed to Secretary of State Hull by Senator Key Pittman, but the secre- tary has known her personally for 16 years.

Hanes, who has been a member of the securities and exchange commission less than five months, to be assistant secretary of the treasury. It is likely that, before the end of 1938, Mr. Hanes will succeed Roswell Ma- gill as under-secre- tary of the treasury. Mr. Magill, who is on leave from Co- lumbia university, is anxious to return to his old position, it is reported. Mr. Hanes may not assume his new duties until the reorganization of the New York Stock exchange is completed. He will be the first New Deal assistant secretary of the treasury who has been identified with Wall Street investment bank- ing. When selected for the SEC he was a partner in the firm of C. D. Barney & Co. With his wide knowledge of the securities business, the new ap- pointee will be of value to the treas- ury, which faces important refinanc- ing operations in the near future. — League Censures Japan DR V.
