HASTINGS DEFENDS
CONGRESS IN CRISIS
Senator Says People Have
Lost Confidence in Selves
and Blame Leaders.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 8-The most
distressing thing confronting the Natior
is that the people have lost commence
in themselves and in seeking an excuse
have turned their criticisms against
their ov-.. national representatives, de-
clared United States Senator Daniel o
Hastings of Delaware in delivering the
KEYNOTE speech at the opening OF the
Republican State convention here to-
day.
The Senator said he would not
attempt a defense of men holding high
official position. but suggested repre-
sentatives of finance and industry have
not raised their heads as leaders OF the
multitude out of the Wilderness.
Avoiding Blame. He Says.
"They cannot now escape their cwn
mistakes and responsibilities by trying
to make themselves and others believe
any other governmental agency Hast
ings continued.
During the prosperous years the
business leaders of the Nation have
permitted without complaint. the vari-
Gus minority groups to compel Con-
gress to write legislation involving huge
annual appropriations. No word OF pro-
test came to Congress. Inc
truth is that the business leaders paid
little OF no attention to what Con-
gress was doing unless 1t happened tn
affect the particular industry in which
they were engaged.
Sees Real Political Fight.
But when prosperity disappears and
the pail of economic depression settles
over the land, then these same people
suddenly turn on them with
bitterness that has heretofore not been
excelled in the history OF our Nation
Senator Hastings told his hearers that
the Democrats would undertake to make
the people believe the Republican ad-
ministration is wholly responsible for
present conditions. The Republicans,
he said, must realize they have their
backs to the wall and have a real hight
on their hands.

ARMY FLYERS WAGING
EASTERN SHORE BATTLE
Exercises Along Coast Are Among
Most Extensive Air Ma
neuvers of Year.

One Of the most extensive series of
aerial battle exercises of the year for
the Army Air Corps is in progress over
the Eastern Shore of Maryland this
week.
Bombing squadrons from the I'd
Bombardment Wing. Langley Field,
Hampton, Va. are conducting battle
problems, which involve the establish
ment of temporary combat airdromes at
various points over large area, simu-
lating combat activities in the field.
Temporary headquarters for the fight
ing squadrons we're established today
at an airport near Salisbury, Md, while
the squadrons operated against simu-
lated enemy forces engaged in a gen.
eral advance from the sea coast. Sew
eral Boiling Field planes, carrying OBJ
servers from Air Corps headquarters
here, flew over to the battle area today.
Owing to reduced appropriations for
training of the Air Corps units, smaller
scale operations for the various groups
and wings. in the vicinity of their own
home stations, will replace the annual
Army Air Corps concentration and joint
maneuverS during 1882.

FIELD IOWA c. 0.P.
CHOICE FOR SENATE
"Amateur" Defeats Brook.
hart, Charging Nepotism
and Franking Abuse.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, June 8-The
vagaries Of politics today sent an anna
teur' at the game to the head of Iowa S
Republican ticket for the November
general elections as the partys candi-
Gate for United States Senator.
The amateur" was Henry Field. erst-
While seed grower, then radio station
owner and provider of the farm fam
llys needs from the breakfast prunes
that furnished ammunition for OPP
ponentS speeches to overallS, baby
chicks and automatic feeders.
He turned back a few pages in the
history of political campaigning to take
the road with his caravan bedecked
with campaign slogans.
Nepotism Is Charged.
He accused Senator Smith w. Brook
hart, his defeated opponent, Of nepo-
tism, using the senatorial Thanking privi-
lege Tor distributing campaign litera-
ture and of spending too much time
away from his senatorial duties on
chautauqua lectures.
Brookhart claimed Field was entered
in the race to split up the vote and
force the nomination to convention
But Field instead polled consistently
around As per cert of the total vote cast
for the office, whereas IS per cent was
the minimum reeded for nomination.
The downfall of Brookhart came six
years almost to the day after his own
spectacular upset victory over the late
Senator Albert B. CumminS. That mark
ed Brookharts return to the political
arena after his defeat in an earler
election contest by Daniel F. Steck,
OttumWa Democrat.
Steck's Defeat Seen.
Steck, too, was among those feeling
the upset of the old order in this year S
primary Louis Murphy of Dubuque
seemed certain to be the Democratic
nominee for Senator, with Steck poor
second.
With the last returns still trickling
in this morning the senatorial vote
stood:
Republican, 1928 of 2,435 precincts
Field 1876; Brookhart, 1877 1856; Glenn
Haynes. 40,261: George Cosson. 25,956;
Louis Cook, 1879, and L. E. Eickelberg,
8,445.
Democratic, 1893 Murphy,
47,385; Steck, 26,583; N. G. Kraschel,
1888; c. E. Lyle, 1883; Fred P.
Hagemann. 1870.
Clyde Herring of Des Moines was
gradually gaining a commanding lead
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination to oppose Gov. Dan Turner,
Republican.
All members of Iowa's present con-
gressional delegation. with the exception
of Representative c. w. Ramseyer in
the fifth district, have been renominated
on the face of the unofficial returns.

Claims Publisher Gained Sales
Tax Support for Backing.

Speaker Garner heard himself refer
red TO Yesterday as the man Mr.. Hearst
nominated for President" The refer
ence. made by Representative CroWther,

broad grin in reply from the Texan.
Garner was occupying a seat on the
door of the House at the time.
Because Hearst had nominated
him." Crowther said, the Speaker had
let the sales tax be brought before the
House.
Garner never was and never has
been for the sales tax" Crowther said
as members laughed. but he had to act
kind of for it because it was supported
by the strangest man in the United
States, Mr.. Hearst, who nominated him
for President"
Crowther added that Gamers relief
bill was designed deliberately to en-
barrass those of us who don't vote for
it. and called the measure Just a
mousetrap rolled up in cheese
Garner left the chamber as soon as
Crowther completed his speech.

did.
The moratorium. the 100000 00O

ployment Yes, more than assurance,
with constant yelled and direct threats
of a panic unless Congress did SO.
Refused to Be Rubber Stamp.
From that point on. Congress refused

with being under the influence Of CT
ganized minorities."

opposed the reduction in salaries of

Attack on Resubmission
Plank Is Discussed in
Borah's Office.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Republican prohibitionists Of the
Senate talked about making a con-
certed attack on the party's proposed
resubmission plank yesterday, but
reached no agreement
Eight OF them gathered, without
previous announcement. in the Office
of Senator Borah of Idaho, stirring
lot OF speculation. But when the dis
cussion was over, they indicated no
prospect of unified action by them at
the Chicago convention, and Borah
himself reiterated his decision not to
go.
Garfield on for Chicago.
Meanwhile James r. Garfield. who
Is chairman Of the Platform Drafting
Committee, left for Chicago with the
tentative resubmlssion plank which
majority OF the party's congressional
leaders have approved. He held final
conference with party chiefs, but an
parently did not call again on President
Hoover. who has kept silence on the
prohibition issue confronting the party.
The general conclusion in the Capi-
tai, however, is that the Presidents
stand has been indicated by the pres
ence OF postmaster General Brown and
administration leaders in the meetings
which favored the resubmission plank.
In Borah's gathering were Senators
Smoot OF Utah. Robinson of Indiana
StelWer OF Oregon, Thomas Of Idaho,
Capper OF Kansas, Goldsborough of
Maryland and Vandenberg Of Michigan,
Stand Already. Taken.
Some already have declared them
selves on prohibition, including SteiWer.
VINO some time ago came out for re-
submission.
Robinson has given Garfield a prohi-
bition plank draft which took the
stand that resubmission proposals must
be accompanied by a substitute plan
and repledging the party to Observance
and enforcement Of the eighteenth
amendment so long as it remains in
force.
