BORAHENROUTE
WEST To BEGIN
HIS CRUSADE
Senator Expected to Demand
Special Congress Session
To Remedy NRA Evils
BY WILLIAM HUTCHINSON
International News Service


Senator william E. Borah (R0
Of Idaho, the Lone Wolf" OF
politics, is enroute to the West to-
day to arouse the Nation for a
special session Of Congress to re-
peal the legislation permitting
monopolies under the New Deal" :"
Mr.. Borah also departed for the
Hinderland to direct public opin-
ion against what he calls the. vast
bureaucracy created under the
Administration.
He hoped to create enough senti-
ment to force President Roosevelt
to call a special session OF Con-
gress this fall to remedy what the
Senator terms the evils of the
Recovery program.
He plans a series Of speeches
throughout the West. Thus Tar,
he has made engagements to ap-
pear in Chicago, Minneapolis, and
Kansas City.
WOESb IN HlSCOEy
In some instances the 1dahoan
will inject his campaign into
senatorial elections. Before leav-
ing, he intimated to friends he
will take the stump in defense
of any critic of the Administra-
tons program who demands sup
preston of monopolies and eradi-
cation of Government bureau
cracy.
Mr.. Borah terms the monopo-
listic trend in business as the
worst in American history" He
condemns bureaucracy in the pres
ent Government as invading the
liberties of individuals to a point
where personal freedom is as
much at stake now as it was in
1776.
The Senator's recent radio
speech, aSSailing the New Deal, ="
has won him widespread approval.
He received scores of kilograms,
all commencing his stand for less
interference with private initla-
tive by the Federal Government.
Hailed by Republicans
The Republicans lauded his at
tack on the Administration but
were silent on his criticism Of
their leadership in the crisis.
The Democrats privately admit
ted Mr.. Borah would be a tre-
mendous foe in the forthcoming
elections but argued he had no
substitute for the New Deal
But Senator Borah is prepared
for this argument. In response,
he will tell the people that when
a house is burning, the only need
is to put out the fire, not offer
a substitute for the fire. He will
argue that when a thief is rob-
bing a home, the only need is to
halt the thief. not to offer a
substitute for the robbery.

tiles today turned to science for
a solution of the killing of Mrs.
Mary Jane Hastings, wealthy
Blue Ridge Mountain resort
owner.
Major Robert c. Kent, jr.
scion of a prominent Virginia
family, who is held on a Fed
eral charge of kidnapping Mrs.
Hastings, steadfastly denies any
knowledge of the Staying.
Admits Driving Her Here
He admits that he drove Mrs.
Hastings to washington few
days before she was found shot
to death in a lonely section Of
Pennsylvania, but claims that he
left her here.
Admitting that he owed her,
he claims that he paid her in
washington, but refuses to say
where he obtained the money TO
pay her.
He denies that he was in the
vicinity where her body was
found, but police claim he had
to drive near there to 60 to
the New York town where ne
was seen the day of the Staying.
Bloodstains found in his car ne
first said were those Of the VIC
tim of an automobile accident
he took to a hospital. Laier ne
changed this story, police say, and
claimed the stains were caused
by an injured dog.
Blood Being Tested
Chemical tests are now being
made to determine if the stains
were caused by human blood.
Handwriting experts will also be
called in to determine If the writ
ing on two kilograms sent from
Washington and signed by Mrs.
Hastings is that of Major Kent.
These wires directed that Major
Kent take over management OF
the hotel, stating that she was
going on long vacation.
Police, striving to establish a
motive for the killing, learned
that Mrs. Hastings had threatened
to have Major Kent arrested un-
less he paid a large board bill and
made good several worthless
checks.
ColIapses in Cell
Major Kent, a member of Gen
eral Pershing's staff during the
World War, has refused to discuss
the case other than to deny his
guilt. He has collapsed several
times in his cell, but doctors claim
he is feigning these attacks.
No murder charge has been
made, as authorities do not know
in what State the woman was
killed. She was shot twice
through the head with 38-caliber
revolver and her body concealed
in a clump of bushes near the
road.

CURT MESSAGE
. SAYS WORK
IS DONE
No Praise Is Wasted in Order
Dismissing Group That
attacked NRA
BY ALFRED T. NEWBERRY
international News Service

The NRA eagle and the Darrow
Board terrier ended their affray
today with the terrier keeling over
dead at President Roosevelt's
thurst-just as intended when 1t
was kenneled here four months
ago.
Some observers claim it died a
mongrel'S death.
Dismissed in Curt Phrase
They say this because Mr..
Roosevelt did not take occasion
to pay any glowing tribute to the
board when he issued his Execu-
tive Order disbanding it June 80.
He said, only:
ut has substantially com.
pleted the work for which 1t
was established"
Furthermore his order, accord
ing to the explanation given at
the White House, was lost amid
tn pile of bills he considered be.
fore leaving on his cruise and was
not found until yesterday-five
days after the boards abolition
was decreed.
The board was created to study
the effect Of the recovery pro-
gram on the small business man.
Clarence Darrow, famous Chicago
criminal lawyer, was named as its
head to appeaSe Senators BOrah OF
Idaho and Nye Of North Dakota,
Republicans, who were at that
time lambasting the NRA in the
Senate.
Three VitriOlic Reports
Three separate and vitriolic re-
ports were sent to the White
House, each attacking Recovery
Administrator Hugh S. johnson
on many of his policies and charg-
ing the NRA Is promoting mon
opolies and operating to the dis
advantage of the small business
man. The third report demanded
the wholesale removal Of the code
authorities of many codes.
The battle started with the
boards first report. Before max.
ing it public the President sub.
mitted it to General johnson. Not
only General Johnson, but many
of his aides, issued statements
criticizing the board. Both re.
ports, that of the NRA and the
board, we're made public stimuli
taneously. The same was done
with the second report, but the
board made public its third be-
fore General johnson and his
staff had an opportunity to draft
a reply.
The President stated he saw no
reason for the board continuing
in existence since Mr.. Darrow and
two other members have resigned.
New Agency Set Up
Since he wrote the order for
its dissolution Mr.. Roosevelt has
set up a new agency, the indus
trial emergency committee. and
placed Donald R. Richberg at its
head. Mr.. Richberg was relieved
as general NRA counsel until
September to take over his new
work.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt said the
Richberg committee would strive
t. coordinate and supervise all
recovery agencies, the NRA, PWA,
ETC., it is believed he is relying
on the committee to correct some
of the evils in the existing codes
and Government regulations. Mr..
Richberg was one of the writers
Of the National Recovery Act.
The two board members who
resigned ahead of Mr.. Darrow are
John F. Sinclair. Of New York,
and w. o. Thompson. of Illinois.
