VANNUYS DENIES
ABANDONING HIS
LIBERAL POLICY
Indiana Senator Defends
Record Against Charge
of Conservatism.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Despite
his recent conservative utterances
regarding the Supreme Court and
the Constitution. Senator Frederick
vanNuys said today he still is a
liberal
To prove his point he listed all
the liberal laws for which he has
voted under the New Deal.
Defense OF his stand was made
by Indiana's senior Senator in
answering a letter he received from
a Hoosier college professor chal-
longing his views.
Although ne made the answer
public, Senator VanNuys refused to
name the professor or his college.
Professor Quoted
According to Senator VanNuys'
answer, the professors letter said:
"As a Democrat who gave you
vigorous support in your campaign
for the Senate, I must say that
your statement against tinkering
with the Constitution or curblng
the Supreme Courts powers) comes
as great shock, as well as keen
disappointment.
when you were elected to Of
fee many of us entertained high
hope that Indiana at last had a
Senator in Washington who would
come out from behind his long
whiskers and take a constructive,
liberal stand on all the important
problems that confront us today"
Replying to this, Senator Van
Nuys pointed out that he voted Tor
New Deal banking laws, AAA, farm
credit. NRA, relief, social security,
neutrality, anti-lynching, holding
company bill, CCC, rural electrical
ton, securities act, iva, Hole and
housing.
Defends His Record
an what instance have I not as
sumed constructive and liberal
and, I hope, intelligent stand on the
important problems with which the
people Of this country have been
confronted during the last three
years?" Senator VanNuys asked.
Another paragraph from the pro-
fessor's letter is quoted as follows:
Il note that you Senator Van
Nuys) say: Our existing system
has been successful for $50 years.
Has it been successful? If it has,
then you and 1 have been reading
different history books. 1 should.
perhaps, start reading American
history all over again"
Questions Curriculum
Expressing surprise at this, Sen
ator VanNuys wrote:
II do not know what history text
books your institution uses, but if
they teach the young men and
women enrolled with you that our
form of government has not been
successful, it is about time the par
ents of these boys and girls take
notice of your curriculum"
In closing, the Senator repeated
what he said in Indianapolis re-
Gently, taking a strong stand for
the Constitution as it is and for
the Supreme Court.
Opposite views have been eX-
pressed by Senator Sherman Min
ton, who is to present them in a
nationwide radio hookup tonight.

SINCLAIR SEEKS
PARTY CONTROL
EPIC Chief to Enter May
Primary in California
Democratic Race.

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25.-Upton
Sinclair. founder of the Epic-Demo-
cratic movement two years ago, to-
day returned to CALIFORNIA; politi-
cal warning as a nominal" candi-
date for President in his party's
primary.
Although Mr.. Sinclair announced
his retirement from active political
campaigning several months ago, he
came out of his retirement to lead
the EPIC forces in a battle for con-
troll of the states delegation to the
Democratic national convention.
The author announced his will
ingness to head the EPIC ticket in
the primaries May 5 because Presi-
dent Roosevelt failed to give his fol-
lowers more than a dozen places in
the delegation, turning over control
to regular" Democrats.
Mr.. Sinclair emphasized, however,
that his move was not to be inter-
preted as opposition to the can
didacy of President Roosevelt.

VXTASHINGTON, Feb. 25.--The
w republic" of Puerto Rico,
which lasted "a hours when it was
formed in revolt against Spain
SO years ago, and its present-day
black-Shirted army of Liberia
tion," may be a key to Sundays
assaSsinations in Puerto Rico.
The San Juan assassins who
slew Col. Francis Riggs, ex-Army
officer and member of a distin-
guished banking family here, were
followers of Pedro Albizu Campos,
president" of the republic" The
men who killed a local police chief
a few hours later also were identi-
fed as nationalist.
This group, which polled 5000
votes in the last Puerto Rican
elections, is represented here as
an organization of patriotic
zealots formed on Fascist lines
rather than as political party. 1t
is not identified with either of the
major parties-the Liberals or the
Republican-Socialist coalition.
A LBIZU CAMPOS, mulatto
IA with a Harvard education,
about 40, has the appearance of
a high-chaste Hindu. He has
burning eyes, speaks with the
fervor of a Father Coughlin, and
his chief doctrine is that the
United States is a monster of the
north which must be ouSted from
its ownership of the island and
its sovereignty over nearly two
million inhabitants.
On a farm near San Juan,
president" Albizu maintains
court. His "army" ~ reported to
include few hundred, perhaps
thousand, young extremists.
They are called cadets of the re-
public" and two of them main
tain sentry-go inside his gate.
They wear black shirts with an
emblem, and white trousers with
black stripe down the side.
Their advocacy of violence is
said to date from Albizu's selec-
ton as president" about five
years ago.
His thesis is that the 1863 re-
volt against Spain, which set up
a republic at the town of Lares,
in the coffee hills, established a
status of independence which still
exists in law Consequently, he
holds, Spain had no right to
cede the island to the United
States in 1899.

Those who enjoy California cantaloupes land

quality this season has surpassed that in recent
years. Few, however, know why.
For several years, the melon growers in the
Imperial Valley have been faced by serious
blight and possibly a result have marketed
some melons that were not in prime condition.
The industry suffered a result.
definite campaign was begun several years
ago to correct this condition. The Federal
bureau of plant industry and the California
agricultural experimental staff joined hands.
Resistant cantaloupe No. 45 the outcome,
a melon resistant to blight and of superior
quality It was planted generally in the Impe-
rial valley for the first time this season.
With a reduction of $500 acres-abCut II per
cent-in the acreage this season, compared with
year ago, the total crop marketed was as large
as last year Better quality and wiser market
ing maintained prices and the growers enjoyed

unprofitable ones. What is mere important TO
the consumer he has enjoyed the finest can

ducts are practicable when science joins hands

WHERE IS ADVENTURE
IN MOTORING TODAY?


lists go rolling out across the vacation
highways of the land, there must be at
least few oldtimers among them who
can remember the days when an automo-
bile trip was really adventurous
To be sure, motoring now IS more fun
than it used to be- 1t IS, in fact, taken
all in all, one of the most completely
pleasant diversions that the race has
ever devised for itself. But it isn't the
high adventure that It used to be.
If your memory goes back as many as
% years, and has automobiles IN it that
far back, you will understand. The
motorist of the old pre-war days was
sailing uncharted seas-and sailing
them. moreover, in a caravel that was
just little bit cranky and given to dis
tressing leaks.
Do you remember the roads Of those
days? The paved highway was almost
non-eXistent, A stretch of passably
smooth gravel was first-class road,
then, to be driven over with a grateful
mind and light heart
Beyond it there was certain to be plain
dirt, mile after mile of it, which could
turn into the deepest, stickiest, most
Misunderstanding kind of mud, as
soon as a little rain came down.
And whether the road was good, bad,
keeping on it. There were no route num-
bers and there were no handy little road
maps. If you felt flush, you bought a
blue book, and, as you anXiously ap-
preached a crossroads, the Indispensable
back-seat driver would chant something
along the lines of bear right by red
schoolhouse, go Sc miles to crossroads,
turn left, and follow gravel 1.S miles to
wooden bridge
And sooner or later, of course, you
lost your way, anyhow, and had the priv
ilege of calling busy farmers out of the
fields to ask them the way to Blinkyille
But the roads and the difficulty of
keeping on them were only part of the
hazard There was the car itself.
The auto of those early days was still
on probation. It was subject to odd and
inexplicabe lapses into coma. Today's
motorist can be as ignorant of mechanics
as babe in arms and still undertake
New York-to-San Francisco tour with
a high heart; yesterdays had to be an
accomplished tinker or be prepared to
trudge 10 miles along a lonely road in
search of mechanic.
And the tires! No motorist in his
senses expected to take a trip Of more
than days duration without having
to make at least one change If his luck
was out, he might have to make half
dozen.
Changing a tire, in those days, was
more of job than it is now, too-and
there weren't lot of handy filling
stations either, where you could have
someone do it for you.
So motoring, two or more decades ago,
was Adventure with capital A; thing
for the stout-hearted and tough-fibred,
not simply a matter of deciding where
you wanted to go, pointing your radiat-
or emblem in the right direction, and
letting nature take its course.
It's more fun nowadays, by far ;.
but the tang of adventure has gone out
of it.
