HEARTENS G. 0. P.
Michigan Senator Hailed
by Many to Save
His Party.
By the Associated Press.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., November
B —Some 30 years ago a youth named !
Arthur Vandenberg lost his job be-.
cause he marched in a Theodore i
Roosevelt parade.
This week, the same Arthur Hen- i
drick Vandenberg didn't march in a \
Franklin D. Roosevelt parade and be- j
cause he kept his job as United States j
Senator from Michigan, he is being |
hailed by many Republicans to save
their party.
While Republican Senators were
falling all around him, he won a
45,000-vote victory over Frank A. j
Picard, a formidable Democratic op
ponent.
But Senator Vandenberg. although
his political stature increased tremen
dously overnight, is making no claims.
Asked what would be his program for 1
the Republican party, he countered by !
avowing loyalty to the present leader- j
ship.
In campaign utterances and in a
post-election statement, he emphasized j
the need for "liberal Republicanism.” j
Should he be called upon to lead his ,
party, he undoubtedly would borrow j
heavily from the political philosophies .
of Alexander Hamilton and Abraham ;
Lincoln, whom he considers the
"greatest Americans.”
When his youthful enthusiasm for
Theodore Roosevelt cost him his job
as a billing clerk, he got another one
on the Grand Rapids Herald and at
the age of 22 became editor and gen
eral manager.

CLAUSE HELD VOID
IN BANKRUPTCY ACT
Frazier-Lemke Amendment Ruled
Confiscatory by U. S. Judge
in Virginia.
By the Associated Press.
NORFOLK. Va.. November 9 —The
Frazier-Lemke amendment to the!
bankruptcy act is held unconstitu-1
tional by Judge Luther B Way of the 1
United States District Court.
"Economic conditions don't make a
constitution." he said yesterday, an
nouncing his ruling.
Judge Way found that to prevent a
bank, which is allowed by one law to
hold a lien against real estate for no
longer than five years, from selling
mortgaged property under foreclosure
for another five years, amount to con
fiscation of property without due
process of law and violates the fifth
amendment to the Constitution.
