TOPEKA, Kans.. Jan. 29.-Dr. Glenn
Frank told the Nations Republicans
tonight their party must be more
faithfully expressive of the American
spirit than the Fascist program of the
New Deal" which. he said, threatens
to Hitlerize what was once democratic
self-government"
DR.. Frank, chairman of a national
Republican program committee Of
more than $50 called to meet in Chi
cago February %, made a broadcast
address at the Kansas day banquet
celebrating the 77th anniversary Of the
States admission to the Union.
With ALI M. Landon. 1896 Repub-
lican presidential nominee. and Chair
man John D. M. Hamilton sitting
nearby, DR.. Frank enunciated a FIVE
point creed he described as expressive
of the mood In which the party should
approach its responsibilities.
Landon Praises Frank.
At an earlier luncheon Mr.. Landon
said Of Dr. Frank that I'VE are proud
to have as our guest man who was
victim of another man who talk.
free speech and then denies it to the
people of Wisconsin" Mr.. Landon ap-
parently referred to the controversy
in which the administration of Gov
Philip La Toilette replaced DR.. Frank
as president of the University of Wis
consin.
Mr.. Hamilton, in an interview, pre-
dicted Republican gain of IS to A
House seats in the 1898 congressional
elections.
Incredible as it sounds" said DR.
Frank, "the New Deal is seeking slav.
ishly to duplicate all the technique:
employed by big business in the early
years of the goth century. ."
Course for Republicans.
The Republican party, first, said DR.
Frank, must be more sensitive to tn,
human needs Of the millions tina,
many political programs Of the las
quarter century have been"
Secondly, the educator asserted, tn,
party must awaken the American
millions to the certain destruction o
self-government involved In much o
the legislation that has, in the las
five years, been pressed for passag
by the Congress.
For his third point DR.. Frank calles
on the party to "expose the growint
practice in American politics, of which
itself may have been guilty at times
of auctioning of the country to =,
sausion of any highly organized pres
sure groups that can muster enough
votes to look impressive"
Economics Of Plenty Asked.
Next, he said, the Republican part,
must ground its program for busi
ness, industry. labor and agriculture
on the economics Of plenty, which
will result in more goods at lowe
prices to take the place of the New
Deal economics of scarcity.
Fifth, the Republican party mus
strike at the growing heresy, fos
tered by the administration, that whel
party is elected to once by q clea
majority, every Senator and ever,
Representative must check both hi
conscience and his intelligence at tn
door of Congress and thereafte
echo in detail the will and even tn.
whim Of the Chief Executive.
Unless this heresy IS checked,
is but a question Of time until nom
but spineless puppets will give thei
lives to the public service"
DR.. Frank classed himself as on
Of the reluctant rebels against tn
New Deal" who saw in four majo
administration proposals the subtk
lodging of virtually every power o
Government in the hands Of the singh,
person of the President or in agencie
directly submissive to his will"
Four Measures Listed.
The four measures he listed wer,
the judiciary reform bill, the Execu
tive reorganization bill, the wages ant
hours bill and the farm bill as the!
came from the White House and 1T
special bands Of advisers ="
I'VE reluctant rebels honestly be.
lieved and still believe that the sub.
lection of the Supreme Court to re-
mote control from the White House
would be a reactionary rather than .
progressive step.
I'VE believed and still believe that
the wages and hours bill, as originally
proposed by the administration, would
reduce production, when it should be
increased, cause unemployment in.
stead Of cure it and make industry
the plaything Of the politicians.
Seas Danger In Farm Bill.
I'VE believed and still believe that
the farm bill as originally inspired by
the administration would make the
American farmer ultimately . slave
Of. the state ..
I'VE believed and still believe that
the executive reorganization bill would
convert the United States Into q
totalitarian state after the pattern Of
Germany and Italy" 4
He asserted those measures gym
boli1e the whole drive e: the New Deal
toward converting the United States
into . Fascist state, with supreme
power over the life and enterprise Of
the American people lodged In hands
Of one man."
1.-THE Republican party Is not IN
end In ITSELF" he said. 1T Is but q
means to an end. And that end u
the stabilization and enrichment OF
life for the millions"
