I 1 Senator Says People Have Lost Confidence in Selves and Blame Leaders. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS. June 8 —The most distressing thing confronting the Nation Is that the people have lost confidence In themselves and in seeking an excuse have turned their criticisms agamst I their o«»s national representatives, de- i dared United States Senator Daniel O. j Hastings of Delaware in delivering the ; keynote speech at the opening of the Republican State convention here to- j dav. ,. ' The Senator said he wuld not. attempt a defense of men holding high ‘ official position, but suggested repre- j sentatives of finance and industry "have not raised their heads as leaders of the j multitude out of the wilderness.” Avoiding Blame. He Says. “They cannot new escape their cwn | mistakes and responsibilities by trying to make themselves and others believe i that the fault lies with Congress or with any other governmental agency," Hast ings continued. "During the prosperous years the business leaders of the Nation have permitted, without complaint, the vari ous minority groups to compel Con gress to write legislation involving huge annual appropriations. No word of pro test came to Congress. * * * The truth is that the business leaders paid little or no attention to what Con- : press was doing unless it happened to j affect the particular industry in which they were engaged. Sees Real Political Fight. “But when prosperity disappears and the pall of economic depression settles over the land, then these same people ; • • » suddently turn on them with a bitterness that has heretofore not been excelled in the history of our Nation." Senator Hastings told his hearers that the Democrats would undertake to make the people believe the Republican ad- | ministration is wholly responsible for, present conditions. The Republicans. > he said, must realize they have their backs to the wall and have a real fight i on their hands. -• GARNER HEARS NAME LINKED WITH HEARST Speaker Grins When Crowther j Claims Publisher Gained Sales Tax Support for Backing. Speaker Garner heard himsj-lf refer red to vesterday as the man "Mr. Hearst nominated for President." The refer ence. made by Representative Crowther. Republican, of New York, brought a broad grin in reply from the Texan. Garner was occupying a seat on the floor of the House at the time. Because Hearst had "nominated him." Crowther said, the Speaker had Jet the sales tax be brought before the House. "Garner never was and never has been for the sales tax." Crowther said as members laughed, "but he had to act kind of for it became it was supported by the strangest man in the United States. Mr. Hearst, who nominated him lor President." ] Crowther added that Garner's relief bill was "designed deliberately to cm- j barrass those of us who don't vote for ; it,” and called the measure "just a mousetrap rolled up in cheese." Garner left the chamber as soon as Crowther completed his speech. --• SHOUSE ASKS PLATFORM IN ONE-SYLLABLE WORDS _ I Democratic Chairman Would Use ( Phrases That Child of 10 Can I Understand.

In a vigorous defense of the actions of Congress during the period of depres- j sion. Representative La Guardia, Re publican. of New York, in a radio ad dress over the Columbia Broadcasting1 System last night, declared the man who is now ‘‘shouting for Congress to go home” is the man who has “already gotten everything he wants from the present session of Congress.” The New Yorker said that whenever Congress has been under the influence of any organized minority “it has been the minority composed of the very gen tlemen who are now criticizing it on that score.” Scores Critics of Congress. "Shew' me the man who scorns the conduct of Congress and I will show you the same man who was down on his hands and knees last Summer beg ging the President and Congress to come to his help,” La Guardia said. "Shakv bankers, discredited stock brok ers. nimble financiers and double-deal ing directors were then inploring Con gress to come to tneir rescue. Congress did. “The moratorium, the $2,000,000,000 relief for bankers, brokers b nciholders and railroads; $125,000,000 to sustain the bonds of the Farm Loan Banks, ad ditional liquidity through the Steagall Glass bill for the Federal Reserve Sys tem and banks generally; all of this leg islation immediately passed without bickering, on the assurance that it would restore prosperity and create em ployment. Yes, more than assurance, with constant veiled and direct threats of a panic unless Congress did so. Refused to Be Rubber Stamp. "From that point on, Congress refused to be a rubber stamp for predatory and selfish interests. Congress is now charged with net being constructive and with being under the influence of or ganized minorities.” La Guardia, who led the successful fight in the House against the sales tax, again attacked it in his address and opposed the reduction in salaries of Government workers as proposed in the bill now before the Senate. -• FILES DIVORCE SUIT By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

Columbia Hospital, f ‘Depressions’ Bared, Even Among Stars, In Harvard Study But 67 Added Changes Concern Light, and Not Business. -- By the Associated Press. CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. June 8 —Find ing of 67 more ■ depressions" among stars—suns with cyclic dimming of their light—is announced in the Harvard Bulletin. These "variable” stars change from bright to dim and back again in a few' hours, days or weeks. Some are due to two stars whirling around each other, one darker and eclipsing the bright star But most of them have a real depression in light, the causes of which are not fully known. „ I Our own sun is slightly "variable" in its 11-year sunspot cycle. The 67 arc in one small patch of the sky in the constellation aquila. Previ ously 57 variables had been found in the same area. Variables are scattered all over the skies in such profusion as to indicate that light depression is a law of nature. _— -« Dr. Taylor of Princeton U. Addresses Graduates at Trinity College.

Quoting a report from Rich ard F. Mitchell. Democratic national committeeman from Iowa, that the! primary there Monday brought out 150.000 Democratic votes, Shouse said: “As the largest previous Democratic vote in that State was about 40.000 it is evident, that the tide of stupendous gains in Democratic strength manifest ed in other sections has extended to this rock-ribbed Republican strong hold. | "In these same primaries, the Repub- i licans registered approximately 250.000. ! which is many thousands below their normal, although in the battle among Senator Brookhart and his rivals for the senatorial nomination there were five candidates to bring out the vote.” Shouse listed recent returns from North Dakota, New Hampshire. Nebras ka, Illinois. Wisconsin and California as significant. MISSISSIPPI FOR ROOSEVELT. Delegates Are Uninstructed Bet Openly Favor New York Governor. JACKSON, Miss., June 8 (/P).—Missis sippi Democrats have turned down a movement for support of a dry plank in the party platform and elected dele gates “friendly” to Gov. Franklin D.

FIELD IOWA G. 0. P. ' “Amateur” Defeats Brook hart, Charging Nepotism and Franking Abuse. By (he Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, June 8—The vagaries of politics today sent an ''ama teur" at the game to the head of Iowa's Republican ticket for the November general elections as the party’s candi date for United States Senator. The "amateur” was Henry Field, erst while seed grower, then radio station owner and provider of the farm fam ily’s needs from the breakfast prunes that furnished ammunition for op ponents' speeches to overalls, baby chicks and automatic feeders. He turned back a few pages in the history of political campaigning to take the road with his caravan bedecked with campaign slogans. Nepotism Is Charged. He accused Senator Smith W. Brook hart, his defeated opponent, of nepo tism, using the senatorial franking privi lege for distributing campaign litera ture and of spending too much time away from his senatorial duties on Chautauqua lectures. Brookhart claimed Field was entered in the race to split up the vote and force the nomination to convention. But Field instead polled consistently around 45 per cert of the total vote cast for the office, whereas 35 per cent was the minimum needed for nomination. The downfall of Brookhart came six years almost to the day after his own spectacular upset victory over the late Senator Albert B. Cummins. That mark ed Brookhart's return to the political arena after his defeat in an earlier election contest by Daniel F. Steck, Ottumwa Democrat. Strrk's Defeat Seen. Steck, too, was among those feeling the upset of the old order in this year's primary. Louis Murflhv of Dubuque seemed certain to be the Democratic nominee for Senator, with Steck a poor second. With the last returns still trickling in this morning the senatorial vote stood: Republican, 2.293 of 2,435 precincts— Field, 183.765; Brookhart, 137.386; Glenn Haynes, 40.261: George Cosson, 25.956: Louis Cook, 11,879, and L. E. Eickelberg, 8,445. Democratic. 1.898 precincts—Murphy. 47,385: Steck, 26,583; N. G. Kraschel, 15,363: C. E. Lytle, 14.538; Fred F. Hagemann. 11.370. Clyde Herring of Des Moines was gradually gaining a commanding lead for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination to oppose Gov. Dan,Turner, Republican. All members of Iowa's present con gressional delegation, with the exception of Representative C. W. Ramseyer in the fifth district, have been renominated on the face of the unofficial returns. HOOVER DAM TAXES SHOWDOWN SOUGHT; Gov. Balzar, However, Objects to I Threat to Use Physical Force in Dispute. By the Associated Press. LAS VEGAS. Nev.. June 8—The State of Nevada moved yesterday to force a “showdown” on the right it claims to collect taxes from the Hoover Dam project, but Gov. Fred B. Balzar said he was not impressed with a sug gestion favoring physical force. The dispute, with Clark County and the State arrayed against the Federal Government and the Six Companies. 1 builders of the great Colorado River ( project, grew overnight from a battle | in the courts to a threat of more serious conflict. Harley A Harmon, district attorney of Clark County, after hearing a re puted statement of Secretary of the In terior Ray Lyman Wilbur that the proj- j ect would be tax free, charged that the cabinet officer had laid himself open to impeachment proceedings. Turning to the problem of collecting taxes, which. Harmon said, should total more than $150,000, the prosecutor de clared he would be in favor of calling out the State militia, if necessary. Gov. Balzar. from the State capital of Car son City, said an investigation was nec essary of “this really serious situation,” but he was not “impressed" by the sug- | gestion that physical force be employed.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 8.—The first tinge of color today began to brighten the bud that will flower into a Republican National Convention next week. It lit up alike the dusky Interior of the convention hall and the highly ornamented halls of the Congress Hotel as decorators started unfurling the miles of draperies that will swathe these two centers of convention activities. About the Congress, where most of the work of the Republican National Committee will be done, there was an air of expectancy. The clamor of ham mers filled the stadium. Hear Disputes Tomorrow. The first scouts were arriving for the convention battle of 1932. Virtually all of the members of the National Com mittee were settling down in their Chi cago quarters preparatory to smoothing out disputes that have arisen in cix delegations. They will take these up tomorrow and hear the contesting claims raised in Georgia. Louisiana. Mississippi. South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. On the surface, the political waters were smooth. Incoming national com mitteemen and delegates voiced confi dence that Hoover and Curtis would be renominated promptly, and harmoni ously. Some held private opinions that the Republicans might find a better running mate for the President, but declined to say whom they would sub stitute. A majority of the newcomers believed the platform would contain a resub mission plank. These were not questions that wor ried the Committee on Arrangements, however. High up in the hotel, a tall, heavy, gray-haired man with a ruddy face was wrestling with the multitude of problems of tickets, contracts, job seekers and newspaper men. And less than a quarter oi those who called at the suite of Ralph Williams, this hard working vice chairman of the Repub lican National Committee, passed be yond the desk of his secretary in an outer office. Sees Country as Wet. While they worked in this suite with its wide windows that looked out upon cloudy waters of Lake Michigan, the first hum of political gossip was being sounded in the upholstered lobbv below Delegates and national committeemen becoming visible for the first time, threaded in and out among red-jacket ed delegates to an insurance conven tion. There was former Senator Patrick J Sullivan of Wyoming, wearing a broad Western sombrero, and with a broad slice of Irish in his face and his voice. He thought the country was 90 per cent "wet.” And Clarence C. Hamlin, national committeeman for Colorado, a short man with white hair, a checkered suit and immense energy. Between bites of a cantaloupe in his hotel room, he re called the wet developments of the last few days. John D. Rockefeller, jr.'s, ■■wet” statement and the North Caro lina election.

One of the most extensive series of aerial battle exercises of the year for the Army Air Corps is in progress over the Eastern Shore of Maryland this wtek. Bombing squadrons from the 2d Bombardment Wmg. Langley Field. Hampton. Va . are conducting battle problems, which involve the establish ment of temporary combat airdromes at various points over a large area, simu lating combat activities in the field. Temporary headquarters for the fight ing squadrons were established today at an airport near Salisbury, Md., while the squadrons operated against simu lated enemy forces engaged in a gen eral advance from the sea coast. Sev eral Bolling Field planes, carrying ob servers from Air Corps headquarters here, flew over to the battle area today. Owing to reduced appropriations for training of the Air Corps units, smaller scale operations for the various groups and wings, in the vicinity of their own home stations, will replace the annual Army Air Corps concentration and joint maneuvers during 1932.

DRYS FAIL TO ACHIEVE UNIFY Attack on Resubmission Plank Is Discussed in Borah’s Office. By the Associated Press Republican prohibitionists of the Senate talked about making a con certed attack on the party's proposed r ('submission plank yesterday, but reached no agreement Eight of them gathered, without previous announcement, in the office of Senator Borah of Idaho, stirring a lot of speculation. But when the dis cussion was over, thev indicated no prospect of unified action by them at the Chicago convention, and Borah himself reiterated his decision not to go. Garfield Off for Chicago. Meanwhile James R. Garfield, who is chairman of the Platform-Drafting Committee, left for Chicago with the tentative resubmission plank which a majority of the party's congressional leaders have approved. He held final conference with party chiefs, but ap parently did not call again on President Hoover, who has kept silence on the prohibition issue confronting the party. The general conclusion in the Capi tal, however, Is that the President's stand has been indicated bv the pres ence of Postmaster Genera! Brown and administration leaders in the meetings which favored the resubmission plank In Borah's gathering were Senators Smoot of Utah, Robinson of Indiana Steiwer of Oregon. Thomas of Idaho Capper of Kansas, Goldsborough of Maryland and Vandenberg of Michigan Stand Already-Taken. ! Some already have declared them selves on prohibition, including Steiwer. who some time ago came out for re submission. Robinson has given Garfield a prohi bition plank draft which took the stand that resubnai^sion proposals must . be accompanied by a substitute plan i and repledging the partv to observance [and enforcement of the eighteenth amendment so long as it remains in ! force.
