crashed on the return trip.
Marshall gave an account Of the
party's experiences when he arrived at
his home in Timmins late in the day.
He said he and Pilot Leavens alone
were injured, the others being merely
shaken up by the crash.
Marshall said Leavens lost his way
late Wednesday after the plane had
taken of from Oshawa, 40 miles from
Toronto, and had passed Orillia, about
80 miles to the north. The pilot lost
direction when the plane ran into a
binding snowstorm.
Sighting the small lake and believing
it near their destination he attempted
to land. The plane ran into the mouth
Of creek, one Of the wings struck q
tree and the machine swerved out Of
control, crashing headlong into the
bush.
Marshall and Leavens were stunned
momentarily when their heads struck
the cowl. The others scrambled out
Of the plane and helped the injured
pair out. Having no ak, they had
difficulty preparing a shelter, but es-
tablished a camp In nearby woods,
breaking of limbs of small trees to
build a windbreak and then searching
about for means to build fire.
Gas Tank Becomes Stove.
The gasoline tank was wrenched
from the plane to form a stove, which
was fueled with small branches The
first night was not trying, Marshall
said, but the men all suffered greatly
on Thursday night from the severe
cold They obtained water by cutting
through the ice on the creek and ra-
toned the chocolate bars and sand
witches, which had been soaked with
gasoline.
Through the long hours Of waiting,
the men sat around the open fire at
the mouth of the crude lean-to and
told stories until they had no more
to tell They ran out of cigarettes
and passed around the two pipes car
rled among them.

CHICAGO TRIP UNDECIDED.

Friends Advise Roosevelt, However, to
Attend Convention.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 10 P.-
Franklin D. Roosevelt's success in the
Democratic presidential primaries of
two States has failed to date to bring
the New York Governor to a decision
on the question of attending the Chi
cago Democratic National Convention
as a delegate at-large.
Some of his political friends have
advised him that he should go to Chi
cago next June in the capacity of a
delegate, whicl would enable him to
promote his c-ndidacy for the presi-
Dental nomirc ton from the floor,
rather than merely direct 1t from off,
stage.
The New York Governor Is described
as desiring to hold his decision in abey-
ance until State party figures gather
here for a big committee meeting on
April 20, or at least, until after the
State primaries on April S. His friends
had believed that his recent successes
in the primaries of New Hampshire
and North Dakota might prompt him
to make an immediate decision.
A possibility exists that both Mr..
Roosevelt and former Gov. Alfred e,
Smith, also a candidate for the nomi-
nation. VI appear on the Chicago
convention floor. Albany observers
point out that Mr. Smith, the 1928
presidential standard bearer, would
logically fit into the convention scene
as a delegate in view of his position
as titular leader of the national party

NAVY POST SECOND CHANCE.
Roosevelt Friends Think His Aid Would
Mean Choice.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALBANY, March 19-The election
Of a Democratic President other than
Franklin D. Roosevelt would pave the
way for his appointment as Secretary
of the Navy, in the minds of observers
at the Capitol.
The belief among the well informed
is that after March 4, 1888. it will be
a case of Mr.. President or Mr.. Secre-
tary. This conclusion is based on the
argument that the Roosevelt for Presi-
dent boom has progressed to the point
where II he Is not nominated no DEM
ocrat can win without the Governors
active support.
If Newton D. Baker of Ohio, for ex-
ample, should win the first place on
the national ticket at Chicago and
should then defeat President Hoover,
the feeling is that the Governor would
actively ca paign for him mad be will
ing to SER : in his cabinet.
Certainly Roosevelt's second choice
in the national sweepstakes to be run
of this Fall Is Secretary Of the Navy.
The prevailing opinion Is that, unlike
Alfred E. Smith, If the Governor falls
short of the nomination he has no
desire to continue as Governor.
Lehman Remark Significant.
1t is accepted as a fact that he ha:
so assured Lieut.. Gov. Herbert H
Lehman, the leading candidate fol
first place on the State ticket Ad'
journing the Senate week ago, Col
Lehman declared he was functionine
in that capacity for the last time.
The colonel's statement is, of course
liable to two interpretations: That h
expects to be nominated for Governor
or that he intends to retire from pub.
lie life altogether
In view of his popularity as q lieu
tenant governor and his apparent ap
pitude for his job and that of Acting
Governor, the majority opinion Is tina
the colonel has every expectation o.
being named to succeed Roosevelt.
The Governors passion for nava
affairs, his valuable collection of nava
Americana and the enthusiasm witt
which he conducted the office OF
Assistant Secretary OF the Navy during
the World War testify to his leaning
toward matters marine.
He Helped run the Navy Department
during the Wilson administration when
JosephuS Daniels was substituting left
and right for the traditional port and
starboard, remaining galleys kitchens
and otherwise stirring up things at
Washington.
Still Loves the Navy.
The Governor never lost his love OF
the Navy and its administration. He
still writes numerous letters to the
Navy Department And in his town
house at Manhattan are set out models
Of all the Governments ships, past and
present
The Governors managers, Of course,
are giving little thought TO what would
happen if someone other than their
idol were nominated. They believe the
nomination is in the bag. They admit,
Of course, that remains to be seen.
1t is felt that the Roosevelt-for Pres
ident campaign has progressed to the
point where no man can be nominated
without the Governors support, that II
Roosevelt loses out, the man who wins
will owe him a large political debt.

CURTIS PREDICTS
PROSPERITY NEAR
Lauds Hoover as" Great Ad-
ministrator" In G. 0. P.
Rally in Indiana.


CROWN POINT, Ind, March 1e-
Vice President Charles Curtis told a
county Republican rally here tonight
that better times are returning-and
cannot fail to arrive because the citi-
gems of America are working, planning
and cooperating too wen.
The Vice Presidents message was a
tribute to the executive ability Of
President Hoover, plea for continued
confidence in America, and an ad-
Tnonition that the United States has
gone through more serious times of de-
preston than the present and always
has come out stronger than before.
"Hoover-Great Administrator
"That great administrator, that in
ternationally known engineer, that
careful organizer and great student of
the needs of the ountry"-thus the
Vice President referred to Herbert
Hoover.
Speaking of returning good times, Mr..
Curtis said, In this country there is
a loyalty in the common good among
all our people which VIII go forth to
Iout the economic peril"
Although never touching on possible
issues in the 1882 campaign, the Vice
President dealt in detail with the ae-
complishments of the present admin
1stration.
He told of steps taken by President
Hoover two years ago to cure the all
ments in Federal construction to pro-
vide employment, of liberalization of
banking laws to loosen credit, of the
organization of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, Of the present
drive against boarding and of the war
debts moratorium to improve world
conditions.
Public's Efforts Equal.
The Vice President added that the
administration efforts have been
paralleled by the strivings of the
American public.
Never before have the people in our
country worked much harder, done so
much planning and given SO much
thought to existing conditions with the
view of making things better" Mr..
Curtis said. THAT is as it should be, |"
Improvements In the credit and bank
ing situations were listed by Vice Presi
dent Curtis as signs which indicate
conditions are changing for the better"
Restoration of confidence in banking,
liquidation of assets of insolvent banks,
liberalization of rules to permit Reserve
banks to handle wider variety of Sc
curities, and STRENGTHENING of the re-
sources of Federal land banks to further
accommodate the farmers were men
toned by the speaker.
C0mmends Col. Knox.
Mr.. Curtis said that one Of the most
encouraging signs of the present is the
success with which President Hoover's
withdrawing drive has met. He COM
mended the work of Col. Frank Knox,
Chicago publisher and chairman Of the
drive, and declared that the co-opera-
ton of the public in the movement is
an indication of the spirits OF the
In dismissing the 1892 campaign
from his address, the Vice President
said:
"The issues for the campaign OF 1882
have not been stated and will not be
definitely known until after adjourn
ment of the National Conventions TO be
held in Chicago In June" s.'
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-03-20

has wrought terrible havoc In the dig
nifty of law and the respect for its ex-
istence. A real moral crisis exists"
The report said operators of large
hotels had testified to loss Of business
to "Speakeasies" and it commended that
If the hotels were able to sell beer
many of the speakeasies, which breed
contempt for law, would be driven out
of existence"
The minority report said in part:
at is a well known fact that sta
tistics of the arrests for drunkenness
are misleading.
Before the passage Of the national
prohibition act no man was considered
drunk who was able to walk or be
taken to his home.
To-day anyone showing the slight
est evidence of intoxication and in the
case of automobile drivers, even If he
has the smell of liquor on his breath
but may be otherwise totally normal,
Is arrested and charged with drunken
ness.
ut is common observation that
drinking throughout the country at
large has materially decreased since
Modification Of the existing law to
permit the sale of beer would not sat
isfy the demands of those who desire
the legalized sale Of hard liquors as
well.
THE measure, on the other hand
has the united opposition Of the prohi-
hilton organizations and church boards
interested in the prohibition Of the
liquor traffic"

the convention.
One swallow never made a Spring,
was his philosophical appraisal of the
outcome of the North Dakota primary,
in which he lost of the States 10
delegates to Gov. Roosevelt Of New York
in a bid for the presidential preference
vote. Murray had just returned from
a speaking tour of Kansas for a brief
stop before leaving tonight for Little
Rock Ark, en- route to Alabama, Flori-
da and Mississippi for a series of cam
paign speeches.
Despite RooseVelt's success in the
North Dakota primary, Murray declared
that he would carry the State IF nomi-
mated"
From my information, the 10000
Democratic votes were about equally di-
vided between Roosevelt and me-" he
said "Roosevelts Democratic votes
represented the machine or ultra-Demo-
Gratis who would vote for any Demo-
cratic nominee. The residue of nearly
1000 he received were composed Of
Hoover men, through the machine of
the Republican party and postmasters
who do not want me to be nominated
and would not vote for any Democratic
nominee, not even Roosevelt"
