NORRIS IS ASKED
j TOEXPLA|N LETTER
Utility Man Requests Probe

NJ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., November IA torn,
pasted letter was the pivotal point of
new interest today in the Nebraska sen
atorial campaign.
The letter was In the possession OF
United States Senator George w. Nor
ris, Republican, who is seeking re-
election, and the United States postal
authorities had request to investigate
the paths the missive travelled in reach
ing him.
The investigation was sought by
Thorne Browne Of Lincoln, Nebr., %
whom the letter was written. To
Brownies demand, Norris replied crisply
that he would welcome an 1nvestiga-
ton"
Asked About Norris Chances.
Browne said he had never received
the letter, which started from chicago,
where it was written by j. B. Wootan,
editor Of the Public Service Magazine.
Browne is o director Of the Nebraska
division of the National Electric Light
Association. Wootan asked in the letter
rs to the possibilities Of defeat Of the
Nebraska Senator.
The letter contained statement that
Arthur Huntington of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, informed the writer that either
Senator Nye or one OF MS conIeUefaUeS
had sought to tap wires in a Lincoln
hotel and had been denied this by the
hotel management.
Won't Tell Where He Got It
Senator Norris refused to say how
the letter came into his hands, although
he willingly exhibited 1t. He was equally
firm that the reported overlapping in
formation was "a silly conclusion" and
'false." He said that he had pasted the
letter in two places, adding that when
It came to him lit looked like some one
had read 1t, torn it up and tossed in
into q wastebasket." He said 1t was
proof of his charges that the power
trusts are seeking my defeat" He read
the letter for the second time at a
political address last night.
Browne made his demand for an
investigation to the postmaster at Lin
coin, who turned 1t over to the postal
authorities.
Senator Nye, campaigning in North
Dakota, said that his committee would
resume inquiry into the Nebraska CAM
paign November Is and that the letter
might interest him then.

The finding of Pleistocene whale

fitting another piece In the puzzle Of

how biologists could be sure of such
finds as authentic and not due to the
demise Of some beast in an itinerant
circus.

layer, undisturbed, 1t indicates it came

he said.
The Michigan specimens, reported by

ST. LOUIS, November 1.-Missouri's
foremost champion Of democracy, for
mer Senator James A. Reed, and for
mer Representative Cleveland A. New
ton, staunch exponent Of Republican
1srh, have enlivened the closing days
Of the Missouri congressional campaign
with an impromptu debate-Reed on
the stump and Newton at the micro
phone.
Mr.. Reed in speeches here and at
Benton, Mo-, directed his powers Of
1nvective at the Republican national
administration for what he termed its
blame for business depression In the
United States.
Mr.. Newton, speaking over the radio
here last night took issue with Reed and
pointed to economic disturbances in
foreign countries, particularly England,
Germany, Japan and q number OF
South American Republics.
THAT economic conditions in Eu-
rope, in Japan and among our South
American neighbors are appalling, there
can be no question" Newton said. do
our adverSaries think they can con-
vince the American people President
Hoover is responsible for the distress,
unemployment and suffering in the
rest Of the world?"
Former Senator Reed charged that
the President did nothing to head OF
stock speculation. Mr.. Newton replied
that President Hoover and Secretary
Mellon issued statements, when the
speculation was In full swing, to warn
people that savings accounts, fixed in
vestment securities and life insurance
policies were "still the safest and best
form Of investment
The Democratic champion asserted
that the money of the Federal Reserve
System was poured into New York and
that no steps were taken by the Fed
eral Reserve Board to restrict it during
the heavy speculation period. Mr..
agswton countered by saying the Fed
eral Reserve Board raised the rate of
interest I'm q desperate but vain at
tempt TO stem the tide Of speculation. /"

CHICAGO, November L. Senator
James E. Watson of Indiana, Repub-

Nationwide radio audience last night
that mo man could even begin to de-
scribe the appalling conditions that in

The floor leader also quoted from
radio speeches by John j. Raskob,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, and former Gov. Al Smith
and said joint debate appeared to be
in progress between them, as Raskob
saw prosperity on the way, while Gov.
Smith saw nothing but gloom continu-

And 1t is worthy of thought, too,
that the present Republican House will

Issues Poster Blaming
Democratic Chief.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Republican National Committee
has circulated full page poster
throughout the country entitled, who
Caused the Stock Market Crash?" fol-
lowed with subtitle: Read John j.
Raskob's Statement"
The statement by Mr.. Raskob, chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, was an interview given Samuel
Crowther and published in the Ladies'
Home Journal in August, 1929. The
heading Of this magazine article was
Everybody Ought to Be Rich"
Another question asked on the Re-
publican poster is did Raskob Sell
Short?" The posters answer to this
is: "Mr. Raskob, as chairman of the
Democratic National Committee and as
an operator in the stock market, was
in position to WELD a tremendous
influence"
After quoting from Mr.. Raskob's in
terview on the growth in value of stocks,
the Republican poster quotes from an
interview with Secretary Mellon in
March, 1929, urging investment in
bonds.
Senator Robinson, Republican, of
Indiana, has blamed Mr.. Raskob for
the stock market crash in public
speeches during the campaign, but the
national Republican organization has
never before made the same claim.
