CODY, Wyo., February 15.-Search

Townspeople of Cody. who heard a
plane circle overhead, apparently seek

Attempts to identify either the
plane or its pilot were futile. Air
ports throughout wyoming and ad-

to be flying in this area.
The mystery plane was heard over
Cody twice last night, once shortly
after nightfall, when the pilot cir.

He spoke in defense Of Supreme
Court action on New Deal" legiSla-
ton.
Perhaps their gigantic publicity
machine, backed by billions of public
money, may succeed in buying or de-
ceiving enough people to carry the
next election" he said of the admin
istration, "but in the end we shall
thwart them. Deep down in their
hearts the American people know bet
ter than to look for politicians to
feed them very long"
Coming the name "Russocrats" to
describe administration members,
Breckenridge declared that IF they
ever had a right to be called Demo-
Gratis they have forfeited it. They
have violated every tradition and prin-
ciple of the Democratic party"
Assailing particularly comment Of
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace on
the Supreme Courts A. A. A. decision,
Breckenridge asked:
"If the citizen Is deprived Of the
power to petition the Supreme Court
for protection from the violation ot
a constitutional right, how is he to be
protected?"

starter" he told his audience. 1T
acts only when a citizen in proper
form petitions for the protection Of an
alleged right.
Secretary Wallace said Of the re-
turn of the unconstitutional process

greatest legalized steal in American
history If this be 50, then Wallace
and Tugwell did the stealing. They
set on foot the plan. II the American
people have been cheated, Wallace

 He steps into the lmelight by ducking away from Q blow aimed at him by drunken crony of the middlewcight champion. The champ gets the sock and goes down for the count. Reporters bounce on tho milkman. He brags, and is egged on into declaring that he knocked out the great undefeated champ.
