FRANK TO ACCEPT
.POL|CYPOS
Former University Heads
Future'in Party Topic
of Speculation.
~ the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Dr Glenn
Franks selection as chairman Of the
Republican Policy Committee aroused
speculation today on his future role
In party affairs.
If he accepts the position it will
mark his first active participation in
national politics. After conference
with Chairman John D. M, Hamilton
yesterday he said he would take the
post If he were able to arrange per-
soral and business affairs
The former University of Wisconsin
president long has shown sympathy
with the liberal wing of the party in
his speeches and writings although he
has never been in the forefront in Re-
publican politics.
Mentioned in 1886.
He was among those mentioned as
possible nominee for President prior
to the Republican National Convention
in 1886. During the latter part of his
term as university president Dr. Frank
was critical of various phases of the
New Deal, particularly that which he
termed the economics of scarcity"
The committee which DR.. Frank
was named to head will number be-
tween 135 and 140, and will be charged
with drafting a declaration of prin-
ciples to guide the party in the next
congressional and presidential elec-
tions. 1t will also recommend the ad-
visibility of midterm convention to
the national committee.
Chairman Hamilton said the Execu-
tive Committee agreed upon DR.
Frank because his constructive at
titude toward national affairs and the
pre-eminent position which he oc-
cupies exceptionally qualities him for
this honor"
All Shades of Opinion.
The 104 members of the policy group
thus far picked were chosen with q
view to giving all shades of opinion
a voice on the committee. They in
cluded conservatives and progressives,
politicians, industrialists, business
men, bankers and representatives OF
labor and agriculture.
DR.. Frank was termed an admir-
able" choice by former President
Hoover. He was also understood to be
acceptable to ALI M. Landon, the
party's 1886 standard bearer.
Prior to his appointment as univer-
sity president, DR.. Frank had been

Mrs. Anna MuntZ
Dies i'm Hospital

Funeral serices for Mrs. Anna E.
Muntz who died Tuesday in an Ell
Centro hospital, will be conducted
Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
from the funeral chapel of B. E.
Lemons with services through the
courtesy of the Christian Science
church.
Mrs. Muntz was a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. William n. Horton and
was born April 18, 1868 in Walla
Walla, Washington. Her marriage
to Edwin H. Muntz took place in
1888. There were three children, one
whom is living now, Mrs. Ruth Han
son of Ell Centro with whom Mrs.
Muntz was living at the time of her
passing.
Survivors in addition to her hus-
band and daughter, are four grand
children, one of whom is Mrs. Les
lie Childers of Ell Centro; great
grandchild and a daughter-in-law
Mrs. Mable Muntz of Portland, Ore.
Mrs. Muntz became affiliated with
the church at an early age and was
deepy interested in it, being known
to her friends and family as a de.
voted mother and true friend.

ments in line. Mr.. Roosevelt is con-
fronted now with the political prob
lem which harried the Harding,
Coolidge and Hoover administra-
tions-the leadership of a party
composed not only of a main body
but of active and opposing left and
right wings.
There is similar div.;ions among
Republicans. The 1912 Bull Moosers
and the 1924 Progressives failed to
capture COP. machinery from the
regulars. But in 1928 Norris led the
way by boiling Herbert G.. Hoover's
presidential candidacy. Norris sup
porter of Al Smith. In 1892 he and
Sens. Hiram w. johnson. Cal. Rob-
ert M. LaFollette, Wis. and Bronson
Cutting, N. M, backed Mn Roosevelt
against Mr.. Hoover. Several other
Republican senators in that year re-
fused to support Mr.. Hoover but re-
mained silent rather than bolt. In
the 1885 campaign half a dozen
western Republican senators either
walked out on Governor Landon or
supported him so softly that no word
OF 1t reached across the borders of
their states. On the edges of both
parties are men uncertain now of
their future political allegiance
men who in the next four years
probably will make choices which
ultimately will place the more con-
serVative group of voters and lead
ers IN one party and the more pro-
gressive and radical group in anoth-
er. Party labels themselves may
change in that mass movement.

toned me upwards so we could
jup, but I refused and on a second
attempt was able to land with the
engine running. The commandant,
in a blind rage at being shown up,
nearly tore off his tunic grabbing
for his gun and before knew
what was happening it was In my
ribs. He had backed me against a
wall, with murder in his eye,
screaming when group of pilots
came up, guns in hand. I thought
they were a firing squad, but when
they appeared he put his gun
back.
Later one of the pilots told me:
1T wouldn't have helped you,
but if he had killed you we would
have popped him off on the spot
and he knew it."
A few days later another ven

to land safely and this time, While
still was strapped in the seat,

The other pilots saved me again.
This time they said they definitely
were going to shoot the commander

airport at Vittoria and bombing
party finally was organized.
At the head of a party of six
bombers with seven Russian es-
corts I took off. I carried 90 bombs
and the other five carried II alto
gether.
Instead of old planes We found
25 beautiful new Heinkels and 10
junkers. We wrecked 10 Heinkels.
Then, in a few seconds, the
others were in the air after
us and our Russians, who were
crack pilots, shot down two more.
On our side, the Heinkels brought
down and killed an English pilot
named Holland and two Spaniards.
The rest of us got away safely,
although twice the Russians got
the Germans off the tail of my
slow machine in the nick of time.
1 would have done much better
if the observer hadn't been so
sleepy-he was an observer in the
day time and a band leader at

We went on four other bombing
excursions during the next few
days and were warned not to bomb
open towns under penalty of being
shot. 1 believe that the rebels
were not so scrupulous.
At last our plans were worn out
and so were our nerves-particu-
larry after Eddie Schneider had
broken his propeller and had to
pull his own automatic first to
keep from being shot by the COM
mandant for damaging his plane.
Finally the Americans left Bilbao
and I quit.
The Russians asked me to fly for
them, but I had had enough.
The Russians had their own
airdrome, their own units, a mar
velous discipline and didn't mix
with the Spaniards. They were
so well organized and alert that
they could be over Bilbao in less
than minute after the alarm.
They were swell fellows.
