Marathon Supreme 700x32 tubes?
What tubes do you use with these tires? I'm currently running air locks that are rated to 28's, but am having trouble with flats. Any suggestions?

Not safe for work
I have the Marathon Plus in 26 X 1.75 and use regular tubes for the size. So far, so fabulous. No flats and part of my ride on Sunday involved lots of broken glass along a stretch of park road. Excellent stuff, those Marathons.

Problem is, I can't find 700x32 in the local shops. The closest I've found is 35-38.

Looks like they have 700 x 28-32's at REI stores. If anything, use the 35's, if anything, less expansion may increas tube thickness. Size isn't that big a deal if you're going up in that small of an increment.
I'd go up a bit, but not down IMO.
I wouldn't use a 23 in a 28, but that's me.
