Better Government
Policy Pushed by
Pennsylvania 6. 0..P.
Legislative Program
Must Buck Republican
Senote Majority

| BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. TO-
The Republican party in Pennsylva-
mia. restored to power in nearly
every department of the State gov
ernment except the Senate, turned
today to a 45-point better govern
ment" program upon which its
Statewide candidates were elected.
Taking cognizance of what they
termed "an electoral mandate from
the people," the Republican leaders
put their minds to the task of car
rying out the platform which car
ried their ticket-headed by Judge
Arthur H. James for Governor-to
victory on Tuesday.
IN general the platform sets forth
its aim as ''the establishment of
honest government at Harrisburg
and the restoration of jobs in pri-
vate industry"
Democratic Senate.
Its adoption, in whole or in part,
they pointed out, depends largely
upon the attitude of the Senate.
Governor-elect James may count
on support in the House, where the
Republicans have a 48-vote major
ity, but the Senate stands 26 to "a
for the Democrats.
The legislative situation presented
an analogy to that which Gov.
George H. Earle faced in 1894. Then
there was a Democratic House and
a Republican Senate. Many of
Earle's legislative endeavors were
stalemated, as a result, until 1887
when both branches became Demo-
cratic.
Legislative Lineup.
The new legislature will meet the
first week in January, probably on
the third. The lineup will be:
House of Representatives:
Republicans, 1873: Democrats, 80.
Senate with holdovers):
Democrats, 26; Republicans, "a.
In all contests in Tuesdays voting

gressional-the Republican sweep
was general. The Republicans in

to 10 and cut down the Democratic
delegation to IS.

her literature. The first, in 1928,
was Sigrid Undset.
Other winners of the past 10 years

John Galsworthy, 1882; Ivan Bunin,
1888; Luigi Pirandello, 1894; ONeill,
1886, and Roger M. Du Gard last
year. There was no award in 1885.
The Good Earth" probably best
known of Mrs. Bucks works, won
the Pulitzer award for the best novel
OF 1882. She also was awarded
second prize in the 1888 o. Henry
Memorial awards for her story, The
Frill."
Daughter of Missionaries.
Mrs. Buck was the daughter
of American missionaries whose
families lived in Virginia and West
Virginia. She relates in her auto
biography that she was the second
youngest of her family, but that all
the others. except one brother who
left for home to be educated in
America before I can remember" +"
died while the family lived in the
interior of China.
Mrs. Buck grew up in China and,
by the time she was Is years old,
had almost ceased to think of
myself as different, if indeed I had
ever thought so, from the Chinese"
Deep in Chinas interior there
were few and sometimes no white
people" except the missionary family
in which she was born. There was,
therefore, no formal schooling until
she went to boarding school in
Shanghai, at the age of IS, and, two
years later, was taken to Europe and
the United States.
She was graduated from Randolph
Macon College in Virginia, in 1914.
After being graduated from college
Mrs. Buck returned to China and
for two years nursed her invalid
mother back to health. Later, she
received the degree of master of
arts from Cornell in 1925 and an
honorary M. A. from Yale in 1888.
She married John Losing Buck
of La Grangeville, N. Y, in 1917 and
had two daughters of that marriage,
Carol and Janice.
Two hours after being divorced in
Reno, she married Richard j. Walsh,
her publisher, June IL, 1885. They
adopted four children.
For 10 years, from 1921 to 1881,
Mrs. Buck lived in Nanking, China,
teaching at Nanking University,
Southeastern University and Chung
Yang University.
She resigned May !, 1888, /as. a
missionary of the Presbyterian
Church in China.
Among her works besides THE

SEVEN CONSIDERED
FORG.O.P.V VACANCY
County Commissioner Spot
on Ticket Remains
Wide Open.
By JACK ALLEN.

The vacancy on the slate the Re-
publican party is to enter In the
county commissioner contests in
Prince Georges County still was wide
open today.
1t was learned that seven men are
being considered by the Republican
State Central Committee for the place
on the ticket abandoned recently by
Karl A. Young Of Mount Rainier.
G. o. p committeeman, however,
have narrowed the list of prospects
for the untitled position on their House
of Delegates slate to three. Mayor
Norman Pruitt of Mount Rainier and
Alfred Keir and Karl Frey, both Of
Chillum.
Particular consideration is being
shown John H. Fetty, Laurel real
estate and insurance broker and
former mayor, and Edward Daniel and
w. A. Duvall, both of BerWyn, for the
vacancy caused by Mr.. Young's re-
tirement from the commissioner race.
Two Sections Not Represented.
Every section Of the county except
the area in which Berwyn and Laurel
are located is represented among the
commissioner nominations already
made by the Republican Committee
and the selection Of man from that
sector would balance the ticket,
geographically speaking
Mr.. Duvall, contractor, is former
member of the county board. He
served eight years ago.
In addition to Mr.. Duvall, Mr. Fetty
and Mr.. Daniel the committee, it was
learned. also are considering M. H. B.
Hoffman Of Hyattsville. Otway Zant-
ginger of Riverdale. William A. Steele
Of Capital Heights and w. Curtis
Hopkins of Upper Marlboro for the
vacancy.
The inclusion Of Mr.. Hopkins
among the possible nominees comes
| somewhat as surprise for he had
filed as a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for sheriff and then
withdrawn his name.
Mayor Pruitt Suggested.
1t was said by member of the
committee that Mayor Pruitt OF
Mount Rainier. one of the trio con-
sidered for the vacancy left when
Carlton S. Pyles of Temple Hills with
drew from the House of Delegates slate
last week, also has been suggested by
some as possibility for the COM
missioner nomination.
Mr.. Keir, one of the three in the
running for the legislative nomination,
is Chillum insurance and real estate
broker. while the third, Mr.. Frey, is
q Chillum farmer.
The central committee has given
no intimation when it will select its
candidates. The group has until
primary election day, September IL,
to reach a decision.

SLOW STEPS SEEN
|NLABOR SHIFT TING
U. S. Adoption of Britain's
Methods Must Be With
Care, Advisers Say.
By the Associated Press.

q! the Associated Press.
The British acceptance and practice
OF collective bargaining in labor rela-
tlons could come to America only
gradually. in the opinion of two men,
bers Of special commission sent to
Great Britain by President Roosevelt
to study employer -employe relation
ships.
While making no recommendations,
the commission yesterday made public
a report stating that mutual ac-
ceptance of the collective bargaining
principle by national unions and ma
tional associations of employers made
labor strife a rarity in England.
Coincidental with publication of the
report, President Roosevelt called on
American workers and their employers
to develop the same spirit of mutual
confidence and cooperation which had
helped solve British labor problems
The President made this statement in
reply to press conference question
as to how the commissions report could
be applied to legislation in this coun-
try.
The two commission members who
commented individually on Britain's
collective bargaining system were
Henry I. Hartman, former president
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, and Robert Watt, Of the
American Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Hartman explained that in Eng
land bargaining was conducted for an
entire industry, instead Of for indi-
vidual firms.
If it comes (to the United States)
it would have to come through gradual
development" he said, the trouble in
America is that we try to do things
too quickly"
Mr.. Watt observed that British en-
ployers did not stock tear gas and
machine guns, nor hire labor spies
and "strike-breaking thugs" Ameri-
can employers and employees would be
negotiating in a regular and orderly
way, he said, "as soon as the stock
holding owners of our corporations
force their hired managers to respect
the real interests of the owners"
President Roosevelt told his press
conference further that name calling
should have no place in labor relations
in this country, nor in efforts to work
out Federal law which would serve
as guide for the peaceful solution of
disagreements.

workers stumped Is the reluctance of
many Of the voters to declare them
selves. This seems to be largely from
q desire to be on the bandwagon Of
the winner. and they are waiting to
see which way to jump.
One Of Senator Tydings' handicaps
is that his campaign club did not get
started soon enough-not until August
II. 1t has board of strategy who
prefer to be silent partners" and who
are described as economic royalists"
one is q large employer of labor, an
other holds an important position with
q railroad and the third is an attor-
ney who formerly held an important
elective State Office. Observers say
the Lewis workers are better organized
and under the direction Of ADLER cam
paigners. "but they don't have any
money, while the Tydings headquarters
has good war chest"
A number Of the 800 or 900 P. w. A.
employees in the county, when asked
how they would vote, replied unani-
mously "for Lewis, of course" and
one, who said he spoke the general
sentiment of these workers. put it
this way: Roosevelt said he wants us
to vote for Lewis. We are not un-
grateful to the hand that feeds u.s."
Interest in the Tydings-Lewis con-
test overshadows everything else in the
campaign and promises to bring out a
heavy vote at the primary on Sep
tember H. The Republican politicians
admit that they are going to have an
uphill fight even with the ticket for
county Offices. I
Inc Two factions of the Democratic
party in Washington County are en-
gagged in a bitter contest for county
control and each has filed a Central
committee ticket-but both are sup
porting Mayor Jackson for Governor,
The ticket headed by Chairman Lane
includes: r.. G. Hawken. Mayor of
Wllliamsport; D. Lee Staley Hagers-
town tax collector; Harry Fridinger,
plumbing supply merchant. who is a
member Of the city Council; Andrew
Cohill, a Hancock fruit grower. and
Berry Hardle, former tax collector,
who is retired farmer.
The ticket fled by the challenger,
DR.. Hubert Wade of Boonsboro. who
joined with DR.. Charles H. Conley of
Frederick in 1884 opposing the re-
election of Gov. Ritchie and who was
rewarded with appointment to the
State Conservation Board, is as fol-
lows: DR.. Hubert Porterield, Hagers-
town; Edward Hayman, road contrac-
tor, of Wilson; Harold Bester, Hagers-
town manufacturer; Roy Weagley.
Boonsboro farmer; William H. Cum
ingham, prominent farmer, and the
Rev. DR.. Clarence Wolfe, Episcopal
minister at Smithsburg.
Tydinss Gets G. O. p. Backing.
Argument is rife here over prospects
and aftermath Of the primary. For
example, prominent Republican
worker said: If Tydings gets the
nomination he can win the election;
If Lewis gets the nomination he is not
likely to carry Washington County"
