Ever since the 1890 election Il
had been common opinion that this
session of tho House would be
chaotic. After Garner had jumped
tho preliminary hurdles and the
House began TO function smoothly
mostly on bipartisan measures
sponsored by the administration,
loud cheers came from all sides
and Garner was hailed ns some
thing OF a Supcr-mnn.
In organizing the democratic
house he avoided a bud' internal
fight which had been predicted and
he persuaded tho democratic mem
bers ns solid group TO answer roll

tclligently and firmly and evoked
applause M he put through tho

He performed n difficult, deli

The Sahara desert sends up
waves Of shimmering. sitting heat.
The burning sand stretches away IN

down, venomously, on the land
where man is novelty. And

In the lImitiess void of the faded
sky appears tiny black speck, far
away. 1t comes closer, takes form.
IL has wings and q humming mo-
tor. It Is an airplane. The motor
cuts off and sw0ops down, landing
with swish OF wheels that sprays
sand over the plane. A helmeted
man steps out, rubs his chin re-
flectiveiy--and smiles.
That man Is Major Dieudonne
Coste who, with Capt Maurice Bel
lonte. had made the first Nonstop
flight from Paris to New York. Ex-
perts call It the greatest flight In
history.
Coste Is in trouble. There Is no
more gas, but help Is near. A car
AVIAN comes with fuel. Then he
must take off on the treacherous,
yielding sand. They say It can't
be done, that tho plane win cap

he has remained largely In the
background since that September
day In 1880 when tho great flight
was finished. He, like Coste. has
saved his money and has prospered
by commercial flying and connec-
lions with aircraft companies.
Coste and Beilonte took a chance

men, Nungesser and Coll, had

route they were taking. But when

Lately Garner has been promot-
Ing a purely democratic program
the chief features OF which, aside
from the tariff measure and the
Philippines Independence bill

are the Goldsborough price stab
ilizatoin bill and the Steagall bill
for guaranteeing bank deposits.
His general position on various
current issues may be sum married.
as follows:
PROHIBITION: Voted against
18th amendment. Voted for all
enforcement measures. Supposed
10 believe that prohibition should
be handled by the states instead
OF the federal government.
Failed to vote ab speaker, on the
Beck-Linthicum resolution, but
probably would come out for re-
submission IL nominated.
TAXATION: Stresses paramount
need of maintaining nations
financial integrity, believing the
method OF secondary importance.
Has fought for maintenance OF
estate taxes and has favored
higher taxes on high bracket In
comes. Accepted sales tax idea
reluctantly.
UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF: OPP
posed TO dole. Favors federal
assistance, II any. through APP
preparations for highways and
public works. Supported the
voting OF 40,000,000 bushels Of
farm board wheat for the unem-
ployed.
WAR DEBTS: Opposes cancella-
ton and caused House democrats
TO tack onto the declaration that
congress opposed any cancella-
ton, reduction Of such a policy
Mt any time.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
AND OWNERSHIP: Favors reg
ulating public utilities of all
kinds. Inspired enmity OF "power
trust" by hard work for Muscle
Shoals and Boulder Dam iegisia-
ton. He In credited. however,
with responsibility for recent
passage OF the House Muscle
Shoals bill which Ia unsatisfac.
tory to friends OF tho Norris
measure.
FARM RELIEF, Voted for all
such measures, including equali-
cation fee and export debenture
plans. Believes ultimate solu-
ton lies largely In corporation.
TARIFF: Favors reasonable pro-
lection" which will not be bur-
den on poor people for benefit Of
large, profitable corporations.
