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.

New Yorker Says Present
Critics Are Those Who Have
What They Want.
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.

‘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.
The five encyclicals issued by Pope
Pius during the last four years were
cited by Dr. Hugh S. Taylor of the
Princeton University faculty as repre
senting a wealth of learning, in an ad
dress to the 100 graduates of Trinity
College at that institution's commence
ment late yesterday.
Reviews Developments.
Reviewing the developments in the
Catholic Church since the Trinity grad
uates entered college. Dr. Taylor cited
the freeing from the Vatican of the
Pone and the writing of the five en
cyclicals—"On Christian Education.”
"On the Sanctity and Indissolubility of
Marriage," "On the True Unity of the
Church and State.” "Quadragesimo
Anno," the restatement of Pope Leo
XIII's principles of social conduct, and
"Caritate Christi Impulsi," a formula
tion of the current ills of the world.
Dr. Taylor called the papal encyclicals
"the clarion call for Catholic action."
He pleaded for more Catholic contribu
tion- to American science, literature and
public life.
Mast Rev. Michael J. Curley, Arch
olshep of Baltimore, urged the graduates
to add a knowledge of human nature
to their academic learning.

REPEAL ADVOCATE
IN FLORIDA VOTING
_(Continued From First Page.)
terday's results are an augury of what
will happen at the polls next Novem
ber. the Democrats have every reason
to rejoice. 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.

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.

Draperies Being Hung in Chi
- cago as First Delegates
Arrive for Conclave.
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,

lina election. He flew here today from
St. Louis.
ARMY FLYERS WAGING
EASTERN SHORE ‘BATTLE*
_
Exercises Along Coast Are Among
Most Extensive Air Ma
neuvers of Year.
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.

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
