MRS. RA|NEY HERE
TO SETTLE AFFAIRS
Will Collect Late Speakers
Papers and Sell
Furniture.

In a quiet corner Of the Capitol un-
der the chamber of the House, clerks
worked asSiduously today clearing the
personal files of the late Speaker
Rainey, carefully laying aside some of
the more important private papers
which his widow plans TO use In writ
ing his biography.
On the other side Of town, at Ward
man Park Hotel, Mrs. Rainey ives
busy disposing Of dozens of rare pieces
of furniture she and her husband had
collected through their years together.
Mrs Rainey is trying to dispose OF
everything in the hotel apartment
and will keep for remembrance only
the furnishings in her home at Car
rollton, H., where she will spent the
rest of her life.
II am selling everything here" said
Mrs. Rainey, because 1 think that
they will give pleasure to others. For
me, our real things, the things that I
will keep, are in our home"
Furnishings that the antique dealers
don't divide will be removed to the
Capitol and disposed of at the forth
coming sale of Capitol furniture and
equipment that is to be replaced be-
fore Congress convenes.
Mrs. Rainey slipped into Washing
ton quietly last Sunday and has kept
her visit as much a secret as possible
1t was her first trip to the Capital
since her husbands death August 19.
The first thing Mrs. Rainey did on
her arrival was to go to the Speakers
Office in the Capitol where she stood
silently before the desk which he had
used.
He seemed to be sitting there" she
said. II felt very close and stayed for
a long while before leaving. felt he
saw me, just as I sensed he was
there"
Mrs. Rainey said she probably would
be in Washington for several days
longer. She is making an effort TO

Senator Declares Nation Would

STANDPOINT. Idaho, October 25.-
Senator William E. Borah, Repub-
lican, Idaho said last night the Ma
ton and the Roosevelt administra-
ton would benefit we're its majority
in the next Congress greatly re-
duced"
1T would mean greater and more
deliberate consideration, he said at
political meeting 1T would mean
better legislation
Il read of candidates for Congress,
both in this State and our sister
State of Washington and elsewhere,
who tell their people that if they
are elected they will have no views
whatever of their own; that they will
vote for everything the administra-
ton proposes and every measure the
administration sponsors.
Il really wonder if they are cor
rectly quoted, and wonder still more
If they have reflected upon the utter
menial and moral surrender which
that statement implied"

VOTE CORRUPT|NG
LAID TO NEW DEAL
Reed Says Candidates Gain
Pledge of U. S. Cash to
Get Support,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, October 25.-A charge
that New Dealers" are making "a
bold and insolent attempt to corrupt
the electorate" through Federal ap-
propriations was made by former
United States Senator James A. Reed,
in an address here last night.
Candidates 3" secure pledges for
the expenditure of millions of dollars
in their district, or State, or city, and
then tell the voters that this money
was furnished by the administration.
and that they are in duty bound to
support the hand that feeds them"
the Missouri Democrat declared
What is this but the buying Of
votes? 1t is a bold and insolent at
tempt to corrupt the electorate"
Policies of the New Deal were at
tackled and criticized by Reed in his
speech under the auspices of the
Marygrove Non Partisan Voters
League.
New Deal Held Fear-born.
Acceptance of the New Deal by the
American people, he said, 'sprang
from a combination of fear, sordidness
and greed, difficult to understand"
Great industries were told that
they could combine and write their
own ticket They hastened to
write agreements, politely known as
codes They intended to raise prices,
and they did raise prices.
THE whole scheme in nutshell
is to increase the price of everything
the people eat, wear or use, and this
at a time when money is scarce.
The theories of the past have al
ways been that in order to start in
dustry, prices should be lowered;
goods brought within reach of the
pocketbook of the people. Then buy
ing begins, and with buying. the re-
vival of business.
What has been done is to hog-tie
the business of the United States; to
interfere in every line of business"
he continued.
Says All Pledged to Power.
"You ask, is there danger of one
man power? Is not Congress there to
protect and defend?
Il answer that the majority of con-
gressional candidates have pledged in
advance that they will support any
measure proposed by the President.
although they 90 not know what law
he may demand. For this pledge of
subServiency and betrayal the can
didate receives the support of the ad-
miniStration and his constituents are
promised immense sums to be drawn
from the Federal Treasury.
Swearing to support the Constitu-
tion and defend it against all enemies,
foreign and domestic, they pledge
themselves in advance to surrender
the authorities and duties of Congress
into the hands of the Executive.
You ask, what is the remedy for
the present depression?
Il answer, Return to the people the
rights to conduct their own affairs.
Break governmental shackles from in
dustry. Stop altering the yardstick
of values. Let the people have chance
and courage will return and the
boundless energies of our race and the
infinite resources of our land will
triumph over adversely. ="

PICCARDS WERE LOST
IN BALLOON FLIGHT
BECAUSE OF FOG

Continued From First Page.)
have been observed in the stratosphere.
We had on our balloon accurate ap-
paratus to determine direction and
speed if we could see the land.
We penetrated the stratoSphere aft
er about two hours in the air. Every
thing seemed quite unreal. in one way.
but o1 the other hand it seemed very
much a matter of fact. My brother
prof. Auguste Picard, Belgian SCI
entist) had told me so much about the
stratoSphere and the purplish blue sky
that I was not surprised to see it, but
the beauty of the experience was new
ertheless overwhelming.
Saw Land Only Once.
On the basis of the weather fore
cast we had not expected this layer
of fog below us. But during the whole
fight we saw no more than a single
trace of land.
In ordinary free ballooning one does
not mind travelling above the clouds,
because one can still hear some noises
from the ground which tell him that
he is over land. But in sealed gon-
dola, 10 miles above ground, one hears
neither the whistle of the locomotive
nor the complex noises Of the indus
trial city All the noises We heard
came from inside the gondola. Most
of them we're produced by the cosmic
ray apparatus, which buSily recorded
the impact of these mysterious trav-
elers from unknown regions. From
time to time our mascot, Fleur de LyS,
the turtle, was scratching on his card
board box, not knowing what it was
all about. Our balloon looked beau
tiful through the top window of our
gondola Through the large open ap-
pendix we could see the valve on top
of the balloon and the valve rope lead
ing down to the gondola, and this was
very encouraging. We knew that
whenever we pulled this valve rope the
valve would open.
During our whole stay in the stra-
tosphere we were divided by the desire
to remain up as long as possible, in
order to bring down as many scientific
results as could be achieved, and by
the knowledge that the Atlantic shore
was approaching at an unknown
speed. What good would be the most
complete investigation of the cosmic
rays if all the results were drowned
in the salty ocean?
Begin Drop Toward Earth.
After about five hours in the air,
we started on our downward voyage.
We had a great deal of ballast left in
our gondola because we knew that as
soon as we would enter the fog bank
our balloon would begin to drop rap
idly. But what we did not realize was
the fight which the balloon would set
up against being brought down. Time
and again we had to pull the valve
rope a whole minute in order to pro-
duce downward motion. Then, a few
minutes later, the balloon would start
to go up again.
1t was a queer feeling to be in a
comfortable gondola, where the tenn
perature was never below so degrees
and never above 66, and to read the
electric thermometer showing the out
Evening star., 1934-10-25

side temperature to be so below zero.
We readily accepted the accuracy Of
our electric thermometer when we
pulled the valve and the cold rope en-
tered the gondola through little gas
ket. By the way, during the whole
flight this gasket-which was a simple
one-inch piece of rubber tubing
proved as satisfactory as it had been
in our laboratory at Swarthmore.
Finally. on our downward trip, we
reached the cloud sea. The shadow
of our balloon showed that it was a
nearly perfect sphere. This was a
great comfort, because we knew that,
even while losing all our superheat.
we would not go down with such
terrific speed as that attained by a
balloon with closed appendix when
it leaves the reign of the sun.
Come Down Rapidly.
We entered the fog bank cautiously
and slowly, but Immediately we began
to go down quite rapidly. We were
glad that we had kept a great deal
Of ballast at our disposal, as we did
not know what kind of land, If any,
we would find below the fog, nor how
>cloSe.
Suddenly the clouds of fog disap-
peared and We saw a charming coun-
try of rolling hills, partially wooded
1t appeared that We were going to
land on the roof of a farm house so
we fired the last two bags of sand
these sand bags, hanging on the out
side of the gondola, each contained
an electric blasting cap, the detona
ton Of which cut string, thereby
opening the bottom of the bag. We
started rising again and, not wishing
to enter the dense fog second time,
we released some gas. This time we
came down with moderate speed
The free space between land and
fog was very narrow, so that the
manipulation of our great balloon
was quite difficult. We did not be-
lieve we could easily find better land
ing conditions and knew we might
find far more unfavorable ones. So
we decided to land.
We released few bags Of lead bal
last, which reduced our speed to a
descent point The drag rope rushed
through the trees and when the gon-
dola entered the treetops our hori-
zontal speed had reached zero and our
vertical speed was greatly decreased,
because we now had to pull the drag
rope downward over the treetops.
All motion stopped a few yards
above the ground. We saw ourselves
already climbing down from branch
to branch, like TarZan and his mate,
when suddenly something gave way.
We don't know if it was branch of
a tree, a rope or the balloon itself,
but we know that we fell heavily to
the ground. Such a landing would
be perfectly normal for an ordinary
free balloon, made of double or triple
ply material. But our thin stratosphere
balloon was badly damaged by the
trees.
The main thing, however, is that
our instruments came safely to the
ground. Not even the delicate mer-
curry barometer was broken.
