Prettyman's Plan to In

Final decision may be given by the

Final decision may be given by the
commissioners early next week on
the plan of Corporation Counsel E.
Barrett Prettyman to invoke provi-
sions Of the District license acts as a
means of placing the small loan busi-
ness under definite regulation.
Meanwhile, Prettyman will review
the entire matter in the light Of fears
voiced by representatives of the Dis
trict Bar Association that the District
would be without authority to supple
ment the old small loan act by adop-
ton OF license law rules.
Renah F. Camalier and Frank A
Hampton. Bar Association represent
atives. who conferred on the matter
yesterday with Prettyman, expressed
doubt that the charges the latter
would allow, in order to get the pro
curer" of loans into regulation. would
stand up. They pointed out that the
present small loan act restricts in
terest to l per cent a month.
Prettyman's plan follows this act,
but the license act regulations pro-
posed would allow per cent a month
on the unpaid balance. this charge to
include fees collected by the pro-
curer OF loans. This was inserted in
the draft because procurers cannot
be reached under the present law.
The move to provide means Of pre-
venting excessive charges, however,
was given rather general approval.
Included in the gathering were rep
resentatives of the Board Of Trade,
Federation of Citizens Associations,
the lenders and the Better Business
Bureau.
Prettyman's report is expected to be
laid before the Commissioners next

THERE was many groan

You may not believe it, but the
topmost men are even now discussing

know they must keep the brakes on
their New Deal somewhere.

PLANE MARK SET

Transport Ship Does 221
Miles an Hour Average
From Coast to Coast.

NEWARK, N. j., November g.
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker's prophecy
Of new transcontinental speed rec
ord for transport planes has come
true.
After breakfasting in Los Angeles,

three passengers, few into the New

motored Oouglas) airliner, Florida
Flyer, all set for dinner in New

They took OF from the Union Air
port, Los Angeles, at 8:42 am, East

landed at 8:45:50 pm, cutting So
minutes and 10 seconds from Rick
enbackers old record.
Flying over the Transcontinental
Western Airlines course, with a 12-
minute stop at Kansas City for re-
fueling. the ship averaged 221 miles
an hour. 1t maintained an average
altitude of $4,000 feet.
AT one point over the Rockies
We hit 1900 feet" said Ricken-
baeker. Then we had to use the
oxygen tanks. but just for a few
minutes. Our top speed was 237
miles an hour"
1t was a gesture" that former rec

enbacker set his transport plane
down in Newark from Los Angeles

fore the Army took over the busi-
ness Of flying the airmail.

how speedily, yet safely, the trip
may be made. On his previous flight
Rickenbacker carried IL aboard and
made stops.

Farley Shows Gravity.

You could notice some hint of this
feeling in the tone of Postmaster
General Farley's election night broad
cast after the returns were in. There
was mo- elation in his attitude He
was rather grave and referred to the
responsibility. When Sunny Jim" gets
grave over winning an election, it is
bigger news than a man biting a dog.
The truth is Farley made a trip
around the country before the elec-
ton and discovered that the admins
tration was going to have a lot OF
eX-pugilists and secondhand clothing
merchants on its hands in this Con-
gress. While those are honorable
professions, Postmaster General Far
ley knows they do not afford very
good training for legislative careers.
Also, he realizes ichat the public
does not: namely, that such Demo-
cratic Senator's as Copeland OF Nep
York, Walsh OF Massachusetts, Dom
dhey of Ohio, Truman OF Missouri
and eUen perhaps Moore OF Neu
Jersey and others are not strictly
speaking, Roosevelt men, They n,ay
prore to be hard to UorE with.
But far more important is the deep
realization that there are now no
more political worlds for the New
Deal to conquer, unless the two-party
system Is going to be abolished en-
tirely
Result Hints Deep Feeling.
Most non partisan political authori-
ties here will agree that the Santa
Claus angle of relief expenditures
may have had lot to do with the
result, but the proportions of the
sweep disclosed something far deeper.
1t showed continued weariness, pow
erty and dissatisfaction among the
people
The average Democratic voter, Of
course, may not have known any,
thing about the economics or the de-
tailed successes or mistakes in the
N. r. A., P. W. A., A. A. A. and
other New Deal agencies. It is quite
likely that many made up their
minds largely on the idea that here
was man, who, at least, was trying
hard to do something about their
economic condition. and that the
thing for them to do was to give him
a hand.
The Republicans are gossiping al
ready about reorganization plans.
They have no idea of doing anything
Immediately and there is no general
agreement on what should be done.
HotDeuer, the talk indicates that
more and more of them are COM
ing around to the DieU that they
need some one OF the Borah COM
plerion as national chairman.
The passing of Reed and Walcott
is lamented because they were very
capable men, but the result was
rather strong hint that, If the Re-
publicans want to make any popular
appeal they must do it with capable
liberals rather than conservatives.
No Aid From Liberals.
The La Follettes and Hiram john
son are not going to make any effort
to liberalize the Republican party.
They are too close to the New Deal.
The Borahs, McNarys and Vanden-
bergs will try it. but they will have
to contend with the Smells and Wads-
worths, who comprise the last remain
ing vestiges of Republican conserva-
tism in Congress.
What the Republicans need Is an
other Abraham Lincoln, modern
railsplitter, but there does not appear
to be any In sight.

NEW ALIGNMENT
SEEN IN POLITICS
Administration Foes Need
New and Better Issues,
Says Observer.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

This is the week in which old parties
are buried, new parties are born and
bandwagon psychology takes the place
Of honest conviction in the grand
scramble of American politicians.
Just six years ago, in the midst of
the worst defeat the Democratic party
had ever suffered, a determined young
man who had survived the hurricane
by q narrow margin in the Empire
State wrote letters to his fellow
Democrats assuring them that the
Democratic party was not dead, that
all it needed was new leadership and
better ideas.
1t was Franklin D. Roosevelt who
sent those letters of reinsurance
around the country, somewhat to the
discontinue of Alfred E. Smith, and
it is said this was the beginning of
the rift between them.
But If ever there was an atmos-
phere of indigo blue and sadness for
the Democrats to compare with those
November days of 1928. it is the
present period of mourning for the
Republicans.
