PARKER FACES
BITTER FIGHT ON
SENATE FLOOR
Committees Decision Will
Make Little Difference
to Opponents.
BY NATHAN
United Press StaH Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April ia spec
tacular senate fight against con-
firmation of Judge John j. Parker
Of North Carolina to be an associ-
ate supreme court justice was
promised by his opponents today
regardless of the senate judiciary
committees action on the appoint
ment.
The committee decided Monday
to delay It's vote on Parker for a
week.
Meanwhile, it appeared doubtful
whether administration leaders
could muster enough votes to as
sure Parker a favorable report.
His opponents we're not con-
cerned, however, over the judiciary
committees decisions. What they
look forward to is the public fight
on the senate floor.
They plan to center public atten-
ton, through the debate on Parker,
on the labor situation created by
the so-called yellow dog contracts,
which were involved in the Parker
decision which has been used as a
basis for the American Federation
of Labor's protest against his con-
hrmation. '
Although the labor issue probably
will be stressed on the floor, objec-
ton to aPrker by the Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People is expected to cost him more
votes.
The independent Republican
group, led by Senators Borah of
Idaho and Norris of Nebraska, will
fight Parker on the labor issue, but
he is expected to lose many votes
of regular Republicans from states
with large Negro votes.

Times Aviation Editor

DROJDLY bearing my newly &C
l. CURED student pilots permit, 1
hastened to Hoosier airport today to
take a ground lesson in flying.
With Bob Shank, who is to be my
instructor, I climbed into a plane
which had dual controls, one set in
each cockpit. Attached to my he'll
met were two rubber tubes, con-
nected with a mcuthpiece in front
of Shank's seat in the forward
cockpit. This formed a telephone
through which Shank could talk TO
me while in the air. A duplicate set
permitted me to talk to him.
There are several things to re-
member when flying a plane"
Shank told me. "One of the most
important is to keep the planes nose
on the horizon, except when climb
ing or gliding. IF the nose drops
below or is raised above the horizon,
the plane will head toward the
ground or the sky.
Next. you must keep the wings
level. except when banking. If you
let one wing drop and the other
lift. the plane will 'yaw, OF tend to
turn to one side or the other, de-
pending upon which wing is low.
"TO do all this you have what is
Il called the Joy stick this long
metal rod extending up from the
center of the cockpit's floor. This
is the main guiding device, con-
trolling the up and down motion
and the wing level. Two rudder bars,
operated with the feet, take the
place Of an automobiles wheel, guild
ing the plane right and left.
Pushing the stick straight for
ward lowers the planes nose and
raises its tail, causing it to fly down
ward. Pulling the stick back toward
you, reverses the results.
by pushing the stick to sthe left,
you cause the left wing to drop be-
low level and the right wing to be
high. Showing the stick to the
right, the right wing is lowered.
I'm making a turn in the air, you
will push the stick to n side and
bank or lower the wing on the
inside of the turn. As the wing is

A troop of boy scouts, 5000 strong,

lowered, you will push very lightly
on the left rudder bar with your
foot. The rudder swings sideways,
as you operate the foot rudder bars,
turning the plane much as the
rudder on a motor boat.
"ONE thing you must learn, in
~ operating the controls, is not
to overcontrol. A students tendency
is to push the stick too far, Just as
a person learning to drive an auto
mobile turns the wheel too far to one
side and zigzags down the road.
Before starting a flight always see
which direction the wind is blowing.
Look at the wind sock or at a
s~mokestack. You always must take
off and land against the wind, not
with it. After taxing to the end of
the field toward which the wind is
blowing, always look overhead for
other planes"
With these and other instructions,
including the starting and warm
ing up of the motor, the lesson was

Wednesday I am to take my first
actual lesson in the air at Hoosier
airport.
Monday, while at HooSier airport,
I saw two students take their solo
flights. They were Jesse Gaugh
of the Westinghouse Electric Com
pany, and Lorenz Lomboy, a Fill
pino, employed at the Marmon
plant.
Seeing them take their first solo
hops increased my desire to get into
a plane and learn to fly as they
have done.

CONTRACT FOR BRIDGES

U. s. Supreme Court Approves Plan
for Span at Evansville.

The Evansville bridge, approved
by the 1925 legislature for con-
struction by the state highway de-
partment, was n more STEP
carer reality today due to a de-
cision of the United States supreme
court Monday.
The court held that the contract
between the Indiana state highway
commission and the state of Ken
lucky is valid. Under its provisions
a $4,000, 900 bridge is to be built
over the Ohio at Evansville, pay
ment to be ffty-hfty between the
states, but Kentucky to be reim-
bursed for the outlay by toll col
lection.
Effort still is being made to
thwart state construction. The
bridge is in politics and private
builders want an opportunity to
collect the tolls.

The next time that you or the children need a

which aids the bowels without doing any harm.
DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin, with purest SIENNA
and laxative herbs, is effective in a gentle and
helpful way. Its action is thorough, but it never
weakens the bowels. 1t stimulates their muscular
action and is thus actually good for the system.

can be deduced. Wherever there is un-
employment, that condition favors the
Democrats, though not as strongly as
might be supposed. Wherever drought
or low prices have hurt the farmers, as
in Ohio and Missouri. that helps the
Democrats as the party out OF power,
though again not as much as nationai
leaders suppose.
The mood Of the people is one OF
gloominesS. accompanied by resignation,
without any great impulse to express
their mod through political action. Gen
orally speaking voters tend to take the
position that economic distress is world
wide, that the Republican adminlstra-
ton has not been accompanied by pros
perity, but that probably the Demo-
Gratis would not do any better.
In such a state Of mind, local per-
sonaIities, local conditions and local
energy of organization is the determin-
ing factor The question is whether
the Democrats can win SO out of these
90 separate battlefields. Among esti-
mates from partisan sources, the Re-
publicans admit the Democrats will win
a minimum net of 16 and concede the
Democrats have a good chance to win
some Is more. Democratic estimates
speak of winning enough to make a
workable majority" One Democratic
leader mentions the figure so. indie
pendent observers whose reports are
coming back to Washington from the
Middle West tend rather increasingly
to take the view that the Democrats
will make striking gains in that ter
ritory.

w. C. T. u. HEAD HITS
MORROW AND "WETS"
Charges Former Ambassador With
Overriding Platform on Which
Hoover Was Elected"

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, october Is.
The senatorial candidacy of Dwight
w. Morrow in New Jersey, the wet
press" and proposals that the United
States adopt the Canadian plan of
government control of liquor were crit
icized last night by Mrs. Ella A. Boole,
national president of the w. G. T. u, in
a speech before the annual State con-
vention of the Michigan organization
Mrs. Boole charged Mr.. MORROW with
Overriding the platform on which Her
bert Hoover was elected with his policy
of law enforcement"
Discussing the wet press" the ma
tional president ridiculed headline
writer's who for the sake Of a headline
misrepresent subject matter"
The Canadian liquor control system,
she said, actually is little more than
government sale, and rather than con-
trolling has all the evils manifested
under the American prohibition law
and very little of the good. She said
that government control does not do
away with the bootlegging problem and
that it makes every hotel room "a po-
tential saloon"

convention, the drys, according to all
the indications out here in the West,
would themselves force the issue with a
demand for a frank dry plank in the
PARTY platform, The effect would be
to force the candidate for President to
conform to it or follow the example
of former Gov. Smith in 1928 by taking
an independent stand on the question
with the risk that that involves. A
repetition of the present enforcement
plank would not suffice, so far as this
sentiment is concerned.
The signs point to no little dry &C.
tivity in that direction; with Senator
Borah Enthusiastically a guiding factor,
regardless of his apparent unwilling
ness to show his hand yet. If the i'm
preston of his home State Is accurate,
he is convinced that the tug-of-war
between vets and drys has gone beyond
the stage where either would be salts
fed with modification. The alternative
to repeal, according to that view, Is a
vigorous dedication to the defense Of
the eighteenth amendment, as a party
principle.
Enough is known about Senator
Borahs stand to answer the question
current in the East as to whether the
foremost Republican drys nave not
been forced to a recognition that
change in the national attitude toward
prohibition has been reflected in the
primaries. a change too pronounced
for the party safely to ignore.
Senator Borah may be relied upon,
II is believed. to rally the Republican
drys against yielding in any respect. So
any recommendation from the. Wick
ersham Commission for increasing the
localized alcoholic content of beverages,
for instance, would find determined
resistance The developments are taken
to foreshadow titanic struggle IN the
Republican National Convention of 1882.

Harris Declares "PieCemeal

Taking exception to the unemploy-

played had ''the appearance of holding

opinion that there are between $780,
600 and 5000, 900 people in the United
States without jobs-the largest number

Harris said the figures already an
nounced excluded persons '"laid of

of their employment"
Explaining that these figures would
