See GARNER
Able LEADER
FOR MINORITY
New York Sun Writer
Comments on Cen
eralship of the Texas
Veteran

John N. Garner will prove one Of
the most able house leaders the
democratic party has ever produced,
is the prediction Of Frank r. Kent,
political writer for the New York
Sun. The writer predicts that Gar
ner will be selected democratic floor
leader Of the next congress, and that
the veteran Texan also will make an
effort to retain his position as rank
ing democrat on the ways and means
committee, the most important COM
mittee of the house.
Commenting upon the qualities Of
Garner leadership as indicated by
achievements during the Is consecu-
tive terms the veteran has served,
the New York writer says:
a change in house or senate lead
ership Of the minority party does not
seem as important as a change in
the dominant group. None the less
it is not without its possibilities. For
example, when the minority is int@l-
ligently led it sometimes succeeds in
upsetting a majority less well d.
rected. Sometimes il dents the ar

takes devastating advantage Of its
mistakes, damagingly discloses ad-
ministration incompetency. Some
times il succeeds in getting the pub
lie ear, reaching the s~o-called public
mind.
The democrats have not had that
sort OF leadership in a long time.
Its leadership has been powerless to
puncture the obvious republican
myths has permitted itself to be dis
couraged by the weight OF the other
side. wasted effort, failed in cohesive
force, lacked spirit. For these rea-
sons considerable interest attaches
to the plans OF the Hon. John Nance
Garner, OF Red river county, Texas,
slated for democratic leader Of the
next house. succeeding the Hon. Fin
Is Garrett. Of Tennessee. who made
an unsuccessful fight for the senate
last spring.
There seems no doubt Mr.. Garner
will be chosen leader and there
seems almost as little that be will
hold his position as ranking demo-
crat on the ways and means commit
tee, although the custom would be
TO surrender that. II is, however, the
Garner idea to keep what he has and
get the other post, too. IL he gets
away with this-and his friends
think he Wilt will be disappoint-
ing to a number Of democrats who
would otherwise move up along the
seniority line, but it vii! undoubt-
eddy strengthen him as a leader. II
will be interesting to see if he puts
II over" No one else has had the
nerve TO try il.
"Of more interest. however, Is the
character Of the Garner leadership.
There is some reason to believe IL
may be shrewder than in a number
of years. Whether it will be more
virile remains to be seen. OF Mr..
Gamers smartness there is no ques-
ton at all. He knows the legislative
twists and turns as few do. He il

! PEACH SPRINGS, AriE.. Dec. 2a.-
Pl-Conviction that Glenn r. Hyde
and his wife persisted in the swirl
Ing waters of the Colorado river,
which they attempted to navigate on
a honeymoon trip, 'as expressed
here by Emery kolb, veteran river
man.
Kolb and his brother Ellsworth,
first mar to navigate the Grand Can
yon, retuned last night after a haz-
ardous journey in the deep gorges in
search of the venturesome Hansen,
Idaho, couple who left Bright Angel
trail in their homemade scow No

1.
The river man reported that exam

couple TO shoot the river rapids in
dicated that disaster had overtaken
them December l near where the
craft was found, lodged in the rocks
which clog the tortuous canyon river
bed. and where il was seen by army
ayiators who joined the extensive
search begun two weeks ago.
Apparent testimony to the tragic
end Of the Hydes adventure was
found in their log box. which was
recovered with other personal ef-
fects from the scow. Entries in the
diary. with code notations, recorded
progress Of the journey.
The last notation. made on No
vem5er so. reported their arrival at
o point IL miles below Diamond
Creek, and that they had "shot" Is
rapids that day.
The location ar the p;lotless xcnw
u miles beyond Diamond Creek in
dlcated 70 the returned searchers
that HYDE and his wife had been
lost in the rapids within the last
two miles above there.
Opinions were given that the
couple who were managing their un-
wIeidly craft BIZ means OF long fore
and aft sweeps, had been hurled
Irlm their careeaing scow into The
raging waters. One entry in the
diary indicated that the sew nearly

was lodged but q short distance from

possible for the couple to have
reached there safely had they still
been aboard. Clothing. food, camp
ing equipment and other supplies

was further indication that the
Hydes were not aboard when the
craft stranded. The presence OF this
equipment also furnished evidence
that, II the couple had CARED the
shore. they were scantily prepared
to face the rigors of severe canyon
weather and = necessary hike to
reach distant aid.
The Kolb's theory leaves unex-
planned however the finding 81 foot

the CANYON rim above Diamond Greek
