Upton Sinclair's EPIC Fol
lowers Achieve Partial
Success in C:#fornia
By The Associatgd Press
Progressives strengthgfled their
position in Winconsin and Upton
Sinclair's EPIC party achieved
partial success in California to
highlight elections in various parts
wof the nation.
Two more Progressives were
elected to the Winconsin state sen
ate yesterday, bringing the LaFol
lette-sired party wthin one vote of
the Democratic majority.
In Los Angeles, one city council
man was re-elected by the Sin
clair forces, whose “End Poverty
in California” campaign failed to
elect the former Socialist governor
a few months ago. Apparently
from 10 to 15 EPIC council candi
dates were assured of positions in
the run-off election May 7.
The EPIC movem:nt, however,
placed only three out of ten can
didates in the municipal judgeship
race.
A striking display of strength
was exhibited by <Chicago Demo
erats who rolled up 798,150 ballots
to retain Mayor Edward J. Kelly
at the head of the nation’s second
city, winning under Republican
Emil Wetten who gleaned 166,671
votes and Newton Jenkins, Inde
pendent, with 87,726.
Unofficial returns in Baltimore
gave Mayor Howard W. Jackson
a 22,572 plurality for the Democra
tic nomination.
Corpus Christi, Tex., remained
quiet after Texas rangers and city
police patrolled an election that of
ficials feared would bring blood
shed. A political shake-up was
presaged by election of Dr, H. R.
Giles as mayor. !
Voters of Oklahoma City approv

400 feet of the governor’'s mansion.

WAR TALK DATES
BACK INTO 1934
Immediate . Scare Came
When Hitler “Scrapped”
Versailles Treaty
BY FORD WILKES
(Associated Press Foreign Staff)
The war scare which rides like
the Four Horsemeén of the Apo
calypse over all Europe today had
its immediate origin March 16 in
the breakdown of the peace mach
inery set up in 1919 after the “War
to End All Wars.”
Reichsfuehrer Hitler made a bold
stroke on that day. His announce
ment to the world of German mili
tary conscription and the scrap
ping of the military clauses of the
Versailles treaty set minds aflame.
Called to Colors
Hundreds of thousands of men
subsequently were called to the
colors in Italy, Germany and
France,
Appropriations for guns, battle
ships, airplanes, forts, tanks and
war materials had begun to grow
like mushrooms on nations’ bud
gets long before this time. There-~
fore the remote beginnings of the
present war scare date well back
into 1934, even before that time.
Secret rearmament in Germany
had been charged countless times
before its public announcement.
When on July 31, 1934, acting Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin declared
Great Britain's frontier was on the
Rhine he gave heed to it.
'What has been pronounced a
dangerous war psychosis passed
through a series of climaxes
strangely coinciding in recent
months with formal attempts to
secure peace.
