HASTINGS DECIDES
TOLEAVE SENATE
Surprise Decision to Quit
Believed to Open Way
for Gov. Buck.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY inc ASSOClbI6Q F1eSS.
Senator Daniel O. Hastings Of
Delaware, one of the most outspoken
Republican critics of the New Deal,
announced yesterday he would retire
from the Senate at the end of this
session and would not run for re-
election.
Hastings decision to retire came as
surprise to his colleagues here. He
said he needed to return to his
practice Of law to take care OF the
obligations imposed upon me-"
1t was generally believed among
politicians here that Hastings de-
cision cleared the way for nomination
by the Delaware Republicans of Gov.
Clayton D. Buck for the Senate post,
although the Governor has not an
nounced so far that he is a candidate.
Buck, concluding his second term,
has succeeded the late Senator Cole
man Du Pont as Republican national
committeeman from Delaware. Hast
ings succeeded Du Pont in the Senate,
having been appointed in 1928 when
the latter resigned because of III
health.
Letter Tells Decision.
The Delaware Governor is related
to the Du Pont family by marriage.
Hastings announced his decision to
retire in q letter sent to Buck, as
national committeeman; Mrs. Frank
G. Tallman, national committee
woman, and Col. Edmund Mitchell.
chairman Of the Republican State
Committee. The text of his letter
follows:
"I have concluded not to be can
didate for reelection, and think
ought to acuuaint you with that fact
as soon as possible.
when have finished my terms, I
will have been in the public service
in various positions for 80 years, with
the exception of three months. Dur
ing my service in the Senate, my law
practice has greatly suffered and 1
have arrived at a time in life when
six more years in the Senate would
leave me In position where I could
not take care Of the obligations i'm
posed upon me.
After the Senate adjourns, I pro-
pose TO devote my time between then
and November to the election of the
Republican National and state
ticket.
with highest appreciation OF the
co-operation given me by each of you,
I beg to remain
Sincerely yours,
DANIEL o. HASTINGS"
Active New Deal Critic.
For the last two years, Hastings,
as chairman of the Republican Sens-
torial Campaign Committee, has been
one of the most active critics OF the
Roosevelt administration.
Hardly another Republican Senator
has had q more consistent record OF
opposing New Deal legislation. Even
in the early days Of President Roose-
velt's administration. when most Re-
publicans we're voting for his legis-
lative recommendations. Hastings dis
sented. The Delaware Senator was
one of the first to attack the Presi-
dent personally, as well as his policies.
He was one of the few Republicans,
however, who sided with President
Roosevelt In opposing the bonus.
Hastings oppositions to the New
Deal carried through to the day he
announced his retirement. Only last
week he took the Senate floor for q
lengthy attack. As o member OF the
Senate Finance Committee. he fire.
quently has assailed the administra-
ton tax bill now pending there.

Morgan Munitions Statement Fails to

Alter Senator's Views.
Chairman Nye of the Senate NUM-
tions Committee said yesterday the
statement of j. P. Morgan g. Co.
Friday that American sympathies
had not followed the pocketbook" into
the World War had not "in the least
wise altered" his own view.
He said it seemed rather strange"
10 him that the Morgan report on
committee developments should pre-
cede that of the committee and
added:
From reading their brief on con-
illusions, my mind isn't the least al
tered in respect to what the record
shows-namely. that the banking
house Of Morgan was the heart and
center of O system which Influenced
us during our neutrality period, 1914,
1915 and 1915, and which took us into
Europe's war IN an economic way
while we were hoping to stay out of
1t politically.
I'VE now know from the record Of
the facts it is utterly impossible to
be in and out Of war. There had been
demonstrated an emphatic need for
neutrality legislation to prevent re-
currence of the experiences Of 1914
which made our entrance into the war
inevitable"
He said the committee report would
be out this week.

FRIEDRICHSHAFE Germany,
May 2.-The first trip to North Amer
lea of the new German Zeppelin. the
Hindenburg, is to begin ct dawn
May 6.
Succeeding voyages will chiefly be
in the nature of an experiment to de-
termine whether North Atlantic cruises
can be made with the same punctual-
ity as the Zeppelin company has main
tanned to South America.
DR.. Hugo Eckener, veteran Zeppelin
master, greatly relieved that the on
cial ban on his name has been re-
moved, explained today that the ex-
perimental idea was the underlying
purpose of this Summers cruises to
Lakehurst. N. j.
Said DIR. Eckener: 1.-THE projected
North American trips first and fore
most are intended to be in order to
study the experimental voyages to see
whether 1t is possible to fly regularly
to North America with the same
promptnesS and timetable precision
uS IItpS 70 oJuLQ America winch nave
become q fixed institution.
The North Atlantic constitutes an
area with a great weather variety and
will need a carefully planned naviga-
tion to enable us to arrive in average
figures such as must be contained In
q time table.
"One thing Is certain, however. It
will never be possible to give a single
route as one to be followed. The
route must be decided from case to
case. Sometimes the best time can
be made not by straight route but
by going far north or south. The best
we can do is to figure on about IS to
10 hours for q trip westward and 4s
to 5S hours eastward. This uncer-
tainty in the time required has moth
ing to do with safety"
After one or two day stay at
Lakehurst. the new Zeppelin will not
return to Friedrichshafen, but to the
new hangar at Frankfort, from where
1t will start again for Lakehurs. three
days after its arrival, an official of
the Zeppelin company said.

Finally, hospital authorities gave
