BERLIN. December 1.-Apprehen-
sion over the recent course OF events
in Germany was freely expressed dur

The Stahlhelm, composed largely
Of front fighters" in the past fire.
quently has been praised by Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler as the equal Of
the Schultz Staffel or the Storm
Troops in the Nazi movement, but
recent months have seen it mentioned
rarely.
At the Nurnberg party congress, for
example, Hitler omitted reference TO
this third Of the triumvirate Of Nazi
Shock Troops while speaking in glow
ing terms Of the other two.
From the provinces also came re-
ports Of growing friction among the
three groups. One report cited court
action brought by a Stahlhelm man
against a Storm Trooper after an
automobile accident, and it was re-
garded as significant because such
matters usually are settled in the
organizations own tribunal.
Changes Discussed.
Meanwhile meetings of Schultz
Staffel leaders with Hitler during the
past week gave rise to conjucture that
major changes in that increasingly
powerful organization were planned.
A decree issued yesterday by Will

terror, providing the district vice gov
ernors can act in cases of emergency

government, was taken to indicate

james Clark, named tonight by AL
bert T. Clark, chief Of detectives at
Denver. Colo, as one of the men who
participated in the 1922 Denver Mint
robbery, was one of the 10 men who
made the sensational escape from the
Indiana State Prison at Michigan
City in September, 1888.
Clark's freedom was short lived,
however, as he was recaptured at
Hammond, Ind. three days after the
break He was returned to the State
prison.
Clark was one of five men who held
up the Citizens State Bank at Clin-
ton, Ind, on December 16, 1880. The
bandits were pursued by a hastily
formed posse and finally were cor
nered in a field. near Sidell, Ill. Three
of the hold-up men were killed and
Clark and Walter Detrick captured.
A deputy sheriff also was killed. Both
men were given life sentences for
bank robbery. DERRICK also was a
participant in the State Prison break,
and he has been recaptured.
At the time of the Clinton robbery
1t was reported that Clark had taken
part in the Denver Mint robbery. He
was said by police to have operated
under the name of Oklahoma Jack"
and to have been wanted in various
parts of the country.

capped from the State Prison with

"I hope for support in Congress in

McNary said he believes the Bank

crop and applying IAN unbelievable
tax burden upon cotton surplus"
should be repealed. He observed that
"banishment of child labor and Of
sweatshops and the efforts toward
wage and hour regulation and spread

Swanson said at least 1000 officers

There are about 5000 in the Service
now.
To make up the difference, the Sec
retary plans to ask that members OF
Congress be permitted in the 1896

three men to the United States Naval
Academy and, starting in 1887, five

Experience in the Fleet during the
past year has again demonstrated con-
clusively that aviation is an impor-
tant, integral part of the Fleet. I
believe firmly that under our present
system our naval aviation is second
to none in the world in efficiency,
and 1 am strongly of the opinion that
any radical changes, such as a united
air service, would be a serious mis-
take"

M'NARY COUNSELS
REFORM IN PARTY
Says Alarms Should Be
Dropped and Human SYM
pathy Developed.
BY the Associated Press.

PORTLAND, Greg, December l.
The Oregonian tonight quoted Sena-
tor Charles L. McNary, Senate Re-
publican floor leader as saying the
Republican party SHOULD quit its sb-
stractions and Alarms and get down
to the level of human sympathy and
human UNDERSTANDINGS
The Oregon Senator said the Re-
publican party must do its utmost to
rescue the Nation ''in cooperation
with the administration--or other
wise"
McNary broke comparative silence
on political and legislative subjects on
the eve of his departure for the Ma
tional Capital md another session
of Congress.
-! offer no criticism Of the sincerely
or political sagacity of my Republican
colleagues" he was quoted as saying

paign, but it 3hould now be plain
that a carty cannot gain ,he atten-
ton of a people distraught by busi-
ness and employment worries by ex-
tol!iny the nobility of the torefathers,
the sanctity Of the Constitution and

ton and bureaucracy.
Bureaucracy UnfeaIed.
Recommendation is a fine. mouth
filling word but it fills no empty
stomachs. and man who is worried
over where next months rent is COM
ing from cannot be aroused to an
interest in the evils OF bureaucracy.
Six years ago it was said that the
clock had stopped for the Democratic
party. 1t was predicted by Repub-
licans that the solid South had been
lastingly shattered the man
who is now President Of the United
States was the Governor of New York.
He did not believe the Democratic
party was beyond revival and he set
out to revive it. Whether it was new
leadership, or new ideals, or new
planning, or whether it was the op-
portunism Of business and financial
disaster that restored the party is be-
side the point.
Parties do not die when issues
arise to inspire them, as issues in
falliby do.
The voter who is pressed down by
personal cares cannot be made to in

violence to the constitutional sepa-

troll of commerce. and the due process
clause by laws that are theoretically
designed to relieve his distress and

Il have read the copy Of your letter

enough money to pay his travelling
expenses, he did exceedingly well.
He was starved to death. But he
personally kept the faith and fought
q good fight He does intend to call
a meeting of the Executive Commit
tee this Winter, but we should first
get a pretty clear understanding Of
the meaning Of the election-what
common denominators can be ap-
piled; what are the clearest analysis; !;
upon what weak spots, and cures of
weaknesses, and forward looking poll
cies can our minds meet?
In the election SO votes were cast
for Democratic candidates through
out the Nation and AZ votes for Re-
publican candidates. Therefore those
who predicate their prediction of the
early extinction of the Republican
party upon the election result are
optimists The vote was an express
sion of confidence in President Roose-
welt and not an appreciation of all of
his policies If the Roosevelt policies
satisfy great body of Republicans
then those Republicans should con-
tinue to take the line of least resist

ciples. The only useful purpose to be

upon any person and say, Here is
a poltroon," or Here is a hero"
There is courage which rises
brilliantly to the occasion. 1t
seems to be sort of instinct. And
there is another kind of courage
which keeps one moving stoically
over the hardest ways. Our bodies,
which are composed of various
chemical properties, react differ
emily to outward circumstance and
inner emotion.
Peter, who afterward died
martyr, denied his Lord three
times through a panic of physical
fear. The worst neer-do-well I
ever knew leaped one day into a
raging river to save a stranger.
But he was coward, just the
same, in all the important affairs
of existence, where strength and
grit are most needed. A craven
before life, death held no terrors
for him.
Once, too, I saw woman rush
into a traffic jam and pull a child
to safety, yet she endured the loss
of her husbands love, her home
and her life's happiness because
she was terrified of the suffering
of childbirth. Was she faint
hearted or valiant? Who knows?
We are not able to determine
the extent of any mans courage
or timidity. So, in my opinion,
the latest sea tragedy doesn't
mean a thing so far as its bearing
on mass or individual heroism Is
concerned.
I think we should treat ourselves
to a new conception of the quail
tiles that constitute courage. Our
definitions of the word are too
limited. When some of our worst
rogues and rascals march like
stored heroes to the electric
chair. it's time to say, cit is how
he lives rather than how he dies
that determines mans right to
splendid titles"
