After q hittle struggle within
the House Labor Committee
Chairman Mary T. Norton CD
Of New Jersey, revised her pro
posed subcommittee to include
members from big industrial

COP HEADS LOOK
ITO YOUTH Of US,
TO REVIVE PARTY
Voters Between 2l and
IA Declared Vital Need

The youth of America was looked
to today to lead the Republican
party out of the doldrums.
AS the new program committee
of $50 settled down to draft a
comeback campaign for the COP
many members openly advised
currying the favor of the young
electorate above all else.
LEADER SPEAKS
Henry A. Bobb of Topeka, Kan,
president of the Young Repub-
licans, was one of the principal
speakers at a banquet rally last
night. He asserted:
"Our biggest problem is to
keep the voters between 81 and
"a interested. They may be
interested through social or
athletic means, through poll
tical clubs with sports events,
football teams or the like"
His opinion was echoed by DR..
Harold w. Dodds. president OF
Princeton University, who said:
"I hope this committee will
frankly consider the future popu-
lar government of the United
States is going to be determined
by people under 40, many under
80"
PARTY "MIDDLE-AGED"
From Ralph E. Flanders. a Yer
mont manufacturer, came the re-
minder:
zone disturbing thought is
that the average of the Repub-
lican party is above the average
age of the nation. The party
has belonged to the middle
aged. We must recapture the
ideals of youth"
The mechanics Of making a
bid to recapture the Republican
party's dominance will be taken
up at executive sessions Of the
committee today. It was decided
to work along three lines, sug-
geSted by DR.. Glenn Frank, the
group chairman.
A clear and comprehensive
audit of the New Deal is to be
undertaken along with a straight
forward statement of COP politi-
cal and economic philosophy. AS
the third step, the committee in
tends to make it's own independent
answer to such problems as un-
employment, agriculture, business,
foreign policy and taxation.
BY pitting one against the other,
it was hoped an effective platform
could be evolved for the party
either at the congressional elec-
tions next fall or the presidential
campaign in 1910.
The work is to be carried on
under eight regional directors to
be appointed by the committee
today. They will report to Chair.
man Frank and two vice chair
men with headquarters in Chi
cago.
Working in d ependentiy, the
group will not receive money from
the Republican national commit
tee and intends to seek its own
funds through a finance commit
tee and treasurer, also to be
named TODAY.

New planes boasting perform
ance standards far beyond any
thing now in regular air corps
service are on the experimental
aprons, officials said today,
checked and ready to be thrown
into production.
UP TO CONGRESS
These super-planes will move
slowly into service in the normal
course Of replacement, but if Con
gress. now engaged in an inquiry
to determine the merits Of either
side Of the age-old argument about
airplanes versus battleships, wants
these new ships fast, all it has to
do is put up the money and order
the planes.
Every category Of air fighting
is covered in the newly developed
bombing-attack on
ground strafing work-observa-
tion-pursuit or purely fighting
tactics.
Even the performance Of the
flying fortresses," which just COM
pleted a flight to South America
and return, pale in comparison
with possibilities of the newer,
bigger flying fortress bomber
which the Army has tested salts
factorily. The one sample" Of
this machine owned by the Army
is flying daily from Wright Field
at Dayton, Ohio. Pilots are en-
thusiaStic over it.
WEIGHS 30 TONS
The bomberS which made the
trip to South America weigh ~
tons, have q cruising speed OF
about 200 miles per hour, and a
top speed Of about 260 miles an
hour. The few statistics on the
new experimental flying fortress
which the Army will make avail,
able read almost like a fairy tale
Here are some of the estimates
on the new bomber, classed a.
XB-15: ..-
Weight-more than 80 tons,
compared with the 22-ton "fly.
ing fortresses" now in group
service.
i Wing spread-150 feet; height,
18 feet; length, 80 feet.
Power-four 1000 horsepower
supercharged wasp" engines,
each accessible to crew members
in flight.
Air Corps officials give no data
on speed, but it was learned these
giants can speed along at nearly
800 miles an hour. Complete liv-
ing quarters for the crew, a gaso-
line motor supplying an electric
system Of 10 volts for radio, cook
ing, etc., and every modern safety
device, are included.
CRUISING RADIUS
These flying battleships carry
an armament of six enclosed ma
chine gun emplacements, so 10

fully the Air Corps guards the
secret Of the bomber's lifting load,
and will not officially admit what
is unofficially known-that the
planes have cruising radius of
well over 5000 miles.
Probably the flying officers re-
gard with greatest interest, how
ever, the new pursuit or fighting
plane, which they believe is a
real marvel. This machine can do
well above 800 miles an hour, has
two motors, and is extremely man
euverable.

Prison for
Millionaire

CASPER, Wyo., Oct. Is Q.N.SO.
A divorce action was on file in
district court here today charging
Thomas Fortune Ryan, I'd, heir
to millions, with extreme curel-
ties and indignities, willful deser-
ton and nonsupport.''
The suit was filed by attorneys
for Mrs. Mayme Masters Ryan,
former Sheridan (Wyo0 girl, who
asked for one-half her husbands
property and $1,000 a month tenn
porary alimony.
CRIMINAL TRIAL SOUGHT
Filing the divorce suit climaxed
litigation between the couple re-
sulting from Ryan'S alleged deser-
ton Of his wife after living at
the home Of her parents near
Sheridan, Wyo.
John F. Raper, former Sheridan
attorney, who is representing Mrs.
Ryan, said more than Sis 600 was
due him for services in connec-
ton with the case.
Mrs. Ryan originally charged
her husband with deSertion, a
felony under Wyoming law. Raper
indicated he would attempt to
have Ryan prosecuted on these
charges, as well as pressing the
civil action for divorce.
TIRED IN SIX MONTHS
The Ryan romance was one of
the most colorful in the recent
history of dude ranching in the
Sheridan area. The wealthy
young bachelor, Sojourning at one
of the deluxe ranches, met the
comely brunette daughter of a
coal mine foreman, fell in love
with her and married her.
Following their marriage, Ryan
declared he was giving up his
former playboy habits and would
settle down to love in cottage.

2-DAY PAR LEY
ON LIQUOR ADS
OPENED BY FAA.
State, U. S. Regulations
Uniformity Sought

UN.S) Firms and individuals
connected with liquor advertising
today opened a two-day conference
here on problems connected with
the industry.
Discussion of the question of
elimination of liquor advertising
was ruled out when the conference
was called by Federal Alcohol Ad-
miniStrator w. S. Alexander,
Michael F. Costello, of Rhode
Island, president of the National
Conference Of State Liquor Ad-
miniStrators, and Col. r. McC.
Burlington, of Virginia, president
OF the Alcohol Beverage Control
Association.
TOPICS ON AGENDA
Alexander pointed out the FAA
was not empowered to authorize
discussion of. elimination of liuour
advertising because Congress has
set the policy of permitting such
advertising.
Topics slated for consideration
were:
l. Conflicting requirements-of
present Federal and State adVer-
tiSing regulations.
2. Radio advertising.
3. Outdoor and highway signs.
4. Objectionable advertising
rendS not currently prohibited
by regulations.
S. Advisability of all che
States adopting the Federal
regulations relating to the adver.
tising of malt beverages, distilled
spirits and wines.
SEEK UNIFORMITY
"The purpose of this confer
ence," said Alexander, sis to dis
cuss openly and frankly the va
rious advertising problems which
the Federal and State liquor
authorities deal with, the regu-
lations promulgated and en-
forced by both, and suggested
changes for the better control
of this phase of the liquor busi-
ness.

Of Case, Mats Rookie Outfielder

Milan worked patiently with
Case, improving his method Of
sliding and, right now, no man
on the team is better at hooking a
bag. The arm banging is a thing
of the past, and his ability to 60
back on q ball hit over his head
is improving every day.
BEST IN LEFT FIELD
Case looks definitely as a rival
to AL Simmons for a place in the
Washington outfield. His place
seems to be in right field; but
that's all right, because Johnny
Stone can play any of the three
positions. It seems to be a ques-
ton of how well Case will hit. He
is q more dexterous outfielder
than Taft Wright, but he lacks
that young husky'S power at the
plate.
Melo Almada, young outfielder,
and Buddy Lewis arrived in camp

Cecil Travis arrived yesterday
in time for practice. In other

Bill was particularly interested
In the shortstop on the cham
pionship nine, although the
word had been passed along
that the catcher Of the team
was the best in the loop.
But not for Bill. The smooth
ness of the youngSter who ca
vorted around the Short-field
territory, his easy and accurate
pegs to first and to home, and
the way he stood at the plate
and slammed out scorching bin
giles to the far.reaches of the
field, proved to Reinhart that
this young Shortstop-whatever
his name was-was as brilliant
a natural ball player. as he had
ever seen.
Reinhart pointed out the
sterling qualities of the youth
to the committee members and,
after a short consultation, 1t
was decided that he was the
star in the State play-offs.
GRID STAR, TOO
It was learned that the lads
name was Joe Gordon. He
played baseball for Jefferson
High School in Portland and
was a pretty fair halfback, he
thought.
It was learned a few days
later that young Gordon CO.
starred on the team with an
other lad named Bobby Grayson.
Both were triple-threat backs
and were excellent college pros
pects-only young Gordon had
another year of high school
work before graduating, while
Grayson was already "Set" for
Stanford University.
ReinharC, assistant football
coach and basketball coach at
the University Of Oregon,
learned to his delight that Joe
had planned to matriculate at
