Mead Campaigns
For Speaker Honor
New Yorker Boosted
He Would Make
Good and Did
BY International News Service

A former Capitol policeman to-
day was among the prominent
contenders for the post Of speaker
or Democratic leader in the House.
The candidate is Representative
James M. Mead, who has person
ally opened campaign to cap
ture votes for the speakership
post, with friends booming him
for the leader in the event the
speakership goes to the South.
Mead'S first political job on the
Capitol police force inspired him
to a seat in Congress. In 1910 he
was made member Of the force,
with hours from midnight to 8
a. M, and his duty was to guard
the House Office Building. He
said:
"When I left I told the boys
that I was coming back as q
member of Congress in 10
years.
He made good, however, being
elected a member of Congress in
eight years. In the meantime,
he was elected a county super.
wiser and served as a member of
the New York Legislature from
1918 to 1917.

SMELL To FACE
FIGHT ON HIS
LEADERSHIP

BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
Personally, I shall not change
my politics or religion as q re.
suit Of the last election"
This statement made by Repre-
sentative Bertrand H. Smell, Re
publican leader Of the House, in
his native habitat Of Potsdam, N.
Y, may be the opening gun in q
congressional fight which, for fire
works and results, may outclaSS
the intraparty battle which the
Democrats are preparing to stage
as soon as Congress convenes over
the Speakership.
The "Potsdam cheesemaker, :"
as the leader Of the Minority has
come to be called, has been facing
rebellion among his cohorts for
months. It was freely declared
when the last Congress was wind
ing up its affairs that Smell would
have to change his course or
else.
Ak Was Ready
The headsmen had the ak al
ready prepared to chop off Mr..
SMELLS proud little title of "leader"
when the House adjourned.
The ak had been sharpened by
Rrumblings that Mr.. Smell wasn't
leading the Republican minority.
It was declared Gin the cloak
rooms) that all Mr.. Smell was do
ing was to follow the Administra-
ton.
The adjournment prevented the
fight from breaking into the open
and Mr.. Smell went back to Pots
dam to fight for reelection with
the leadership still draped around
his shoulders.
Little was heard from Mr.. Smell
in Washington until a short time
before the election, when the word
went out that those who had pro-
posed to revolt against the Smell
leadership had given up the fight
and were willing to let the "PotS-
dam cheesemaker" lead them in
the forthcoming Congress.
That notice Of the subsidence
Of the rebellion apparently was
premature.
Fight Still On
Word coming from the ring
leaders indicates that they are
still determined that Mr.. Smell
shall be unseated.
When Mr.. Smell announces, as
he did recently in PotSdam, that
his opinions haven't been changed
by the recent elections, he prac.
tically issued challenge to those
who fought him in the last Con"
greSS.
That challenge will not lie with
out acceptance.
Many of those who were leaders
in the anti-Snen fight this spring
have been reelected to the Con-
gress which will convene in Jan
uary.
They are prepared to demand
that Mr.. Smell alter his views on
the Administration if he is to be
allowed to retain the leadership
Of the opposition.
Mr.. Smell is a rather stubborn
person. He has his own ideas
about the function of the Repub-
lican party in the existing situa.
tion. He will adhere to those
ideas regardless of what his op-
ponents may say.
This determination to stick to
his own opinions may result in
the unseating Of Mr.. Smell as
minority leader. Certainly it will
result in a fight within the Re-
publican party in the forthcom.
ing Congress.

DETROIT, Dec. 8 Il. N. s..
Crossing of the Hungarian borders
by Yogoslavian troops is the first
step toward an inevitable second
World War, DR.. Julius Deutsch,
former Austrian minister of wal
and leader of the Austrian Social
lists. declared here.
DR.. Deutsch is here on a lee
ture tour. He said:
"The world powers with
America leading the way might
have averted clash, which now
/ believe is a fOregone conclu-
sion, by making Austria and
Hungary strictly neutral coun-
tries and ordering both Mus
sOlini and Hitler to keep their
hands off them.
"NOw / am sure it is too late
and what is more pathetic is
the helplessness of the League
of Nations in this emergency.
From the implications of
newspaper dispatches I believe
armed conflict may break out
at any minute engulfing the
whole of Europe. Such a con-
flagratiOn, once started, may
easily develop into another

ant, Catholic and Jewish faiths,
which, he said, advocated many
of the New Deal policies before
the Roosevelt administration.
His talk was before the World
Alliance for International Friend.
ship Through the Churches. He
said:
"Strange to say, the social
creed first enunciated by the
Federal Council Of Churches in
1908 is almost identical SO far
as industry and labor are con.
cerned with the New Deal of
1888 and 1884 which has pro-
voked Outcries of Socialism,
BOlshevism and FasciSm."
He quoted some of the planks
from that platform:
For living wage in every
industry.
"FOr the abolition of child
labor.
For suitable provision for the
old age of workers"
He then quoted from Quadra-
gesimo Ammo, the Encyclical of
Pope Plus XI in 1881:
'In our days not alone is
wealth accumulated, but i'm
mense power and despotic
economic domination is con-
centrated in the hands of the
few. The State, which should
be the supreme arbiter, has be-
come instead a slave, bound
to the service of human pas

He also quoted from the
declaration of social principles
of the Central Conference of
American Rabbis of 1928:
"The same rights of organiZa-
ton which rest with employers
rest also with those whom he
employs.

POSTCONF|DEN7
Of RECORD

BARTLESVILLE, Okla, Dec. 8
GN.S0.-Wiley Post, globe-gir-
ding aviator, was confident to-
day that his second flight into
the stratosphere in the famous
monoplane Winnie Mae to an
estimated altitude of $4,000 feet
accomplished a double objective.
Besides attaining what he feels
certain will prove a new altitude
record for heavier r-than-air ma
chimes, the veteran flier an
nounced that he had attained a
speed of approximately six miles
a minute in the rarefied atmo-
sphere of the upper reaches.
After spending two hours and
26 minutes aloft in his super
charge equipped plane Post came
to perfect dead stick landing
at Phillips Field here at 4:04
p. m. yesterday.
Upon climbing out of his special
"Stratosphere suit" resembling a
deep sea divers equipment, he
said he was almost certain that
he had flown about $4,000 feet.
His altimeter froze at the $4,000
foot level.
Lieut.. Renato Donati Of italy
holds the present worlds altitude
record of 47,352.2 feet.
Post said his flight proved that
extremely high speeds are attain,
able in the thin air of the sub
Stratosphere. He estimated that
the Winnie Mae bored through the
rarefied air at nearly 400 miles
an hour.

Since that time the District OF

banks and building and loan as

willingness to cooperate with the
Federal Housing Administration

an average, elsewhere in the

Since that time the Washing

activities has been the Better

Since that time more than $2,:

Since that time the Federal
