VARE FOES PUSH DRAMA OF
EMPTY SEAT TO EARLY END
BY L. A. BROPHY I
WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.—OV
The United States senate's Enoch
Arden drama now moves to a cli
max.
Like the storied husband who was
on the outside lookir^r in. William
S. Vare of Pennsylvania for two
years figuratively has had his face !
pressed to the senate window.
The official records state that the |
..—.-..... 1 - ....
junior senator from Pennsylvania is
Vare.
But for more than two years
forces of dissension have swirled
around his claims and in the mean
time thvre has been a vacant chair
at the senatorial fireside.
As in the case of Frank L. Smith
cf Illinois, the charges against Vare
rest on the premise that too much
money was r>!*nt in his primary
campaign. The backwash of the
controversy definitely swept Smith
out of the senate.
Now the Vare issue apparently is j
on the way to final settlement, with ,
Senator George Norris of Nebraska j
responsible for a resolution which
would settle one phase of the dou
ble-barrelled action against the |
Pennsylvanian.
Vare’s right to his seat was sus
pended in December. 1927. after the
senate adopted a preliminary report
of a special committee headed by
Senator J—ves A. Reed of Missouri,
which said it had found evidences of
•'fraud and corruption” in the prt
marv election at which Vare was
nominated. 14 forth that a sum
estimated at $7fi5.000 was spent in
furthering his primary campaign.
Senator Norris asserts that the j
senate already by Volemn declare - ;
t'on” holds Vare's credentials “taint
ed." The Nebraska ermader now
seeks the final step denying Vare ,
his seat on those grounds.
After the election. William B.
Wilson, democrat, defeated by Vare. j
protested that he had been beaten i
by fraud and the senate committee
on privileges and elections unicr
took a recount of the vote. • j
Thus the two definite issues must
be settled The privileges and elec
tions committee is about ready to
make its report, and disposition by
the senate of the Norris resolution,
which seeks formally to deny the
Pennsylvanian his seat, is expected
to dovetail with that action.
There is onlv one thing the elec
tions and privileges committee can
report—that the vote showed Vare
was elected. There Is no question
about his majority.
If Vare is unseated the governor
of Pennsylvania will have the Job
of naming a man to serve out the
term, which has some three years to
go.

EXPANSION OF
AIR MAIL PLAN
U. S. Would Extend Service
By Rerouting and Devel
oping New Lines
WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.—tfV
The postoffioe department Is con
templating an early expansion r.f
the air mail service which will de
velop, among other things, a new
transcontinental route from Atlan
ta to Los Angeles.
The inter-departmental commit
tee. appointed by President Hoover
to advise ‘he postoffice authorities
on airways, is expected to maue
final decision on a number of pro
posed routes as soon as Maj. Clar
ence Young succeeds Assistant At
torney MacCracken as the com
merce department's representative.
The route from Louisville to Dal
las by way of Memphis, Little Rock
and Texarkana, also will be decided
upon by the committee, but prob
ably will have to await the end
of the present fiscal year before
being placed. It Is proposed that
the Atlanta-New Orleans route be
straightened and the mall sent
from Atlanta to New Orleans by
way of Montgomery instead of
Birmingham. Anofiher route from
Atlanta to Dallas by way of Birm
ingham. Jackson, Miss., and
Shreveport. La., will be started. The
plan calls for a route from Dallas
through El Paso, Tucson. Phoenix,
and San Diego to Los Angeles lo
complete the transcontinental
hook-up.
