COP STRATEGY
AGAINST F.D,R.
is UNCERTAIN
Barton School Clashes
With HamiIton's
BY EARL GOODWIN

The few Republicans left in
town seem to be in a terrible
quandary as to what to do about
this fellow Roosevelt.
The COP doesn't seem to be
able to make up it's mind as to
whether to sock F.D.R. in the eye
with everything they've got-or
to soft soap bit and tell the
voters the New Deal may be all
OK and on the up-andup-but it
would work better under a Repub-
lcan administration.
There is split between the Up-
town Republicans and the Down
town Republicans; the former are
the solonS of Capitol Hill; the
latter are John Hamilton, chair
man Republican National Com.
mitee; Franklyn Mailman, COP
publicity crooner, ct al.
BACKED F.D.R
Some of the Capitol Republicans
think it very unwiSe to atatck
Roosevelt. They recall the days
when so many people didn't like
Tugwell, Perkins, etc. "but
liked the President"
Among these are Rep. Bruce
Barton, New York City advertising
man, and a student of public
trends. He keynoted an Indiana
State Republican convention a few
days ago and startled the COP
by praising Roosevelt's humani-
tartan aims and some of his social
program.
SHOCK TROOPS
The young shock troops of the
COP national committee here,
all set to unleash a dynamite
attack on the President, were
mortified by Representative Bar
tons tactics. MeSsrs. Hamilton
and Waltman couldn't slap Roose-
welt down with a barn door If
such fancy topliners as Bruce
Barton should undertake to round
the country and tell what grand
guy F. D. r. iS-from a Republi-
can speakers platform!
THREE SCHOOLS
And so the Republicans appear
to be divided into at least three
schools of thought on the subject.
The direct action boys who
remind one of the Bolsheviki and
their incorporating t tt t ude
toward the late Gar. These are
led by Hamilton and Waltman.
They don't see anything good any,
where at any time in the New
Deal and have instructed their
own cohorts to let the New Deal
have both barrels everytime New
Dealer shows his head.
Then there are men like Repre-
sentative "Joe" Martin, chairman
of the Republican Congressional
Committee, which has as it's main
asset the unparalleled political
knowledge of the veteran Score
tary Earl Venable.
SAME IDEA
This school of thought appar-
emily wants to accomplish the
same general ends that Hamilton
and Waltman are after-but they
don't want to form suicide squad
carrying political dynamite tied
to their bodies.
This school would contain such
individuals as Senator Borah, who
is a sort of "impersonaI' Republi-
can; and Senator McNary, of Ore
gon, Republican floor leader-but
further away from the Hamilton
Waltman brand of Republicanism
than Oregon is from washington,
D. C.
PROGRESSIVE PLAN
These progressive Republicans
would want to improve on the
New Deal-instead of wrecking it.
And then, there is a growing
school of Republicans, exempli-
fled largely by a horde of candi-
dates for Republican nomination
here, there and everywhere who
simply want to beat the New Deal
by compromising it. Every time a

CRASH IN MIDAIR

SAN PEDRO, Cal, Feb. 3. of the seven man crew of a Navy bombing plane died in the flames of their big craft after a midair collision with another bomber during last nights maneuvers and in sudden rain squall off the Southern California coast.
 The crew of the other plane was rescued by a boat from the fleets flagship Pennsyl- vania and taken to hospitali- zation quarters in Pyramid Cove on San Clemente Island.
 Admiral Claude c. Bloch, eyewitness to the crash from the decks of the Pennsylvan- ia, said one bomber, the 11-P- 3 fell in flames after colliding with the 11-P-4, which ship spun to the water below and crashed.
 Search for survivors of the 11-P-3 which fell in flames was begun inn mediately by surface craft from sev- eral battleships and destroyers It is believed none survived.
 The tragic crash occurred at ex- actly 8:37 o'clock last night south of San Clemente Island as the full might of the fleet went through swift tactical maneuvering exercises under simulated conditions of actual flying warfare.
 The planes were the same type used in the recent long distance mass flights to the Hawaiian Is- lands.

by Adelaide Kerr


 PALMER -Bertram Duff, son of Harry Duff. is in the Palmer hos pital recovering from burns on tle fase, sustained when ar explosion of gasoline set fire to his fathers warehouse on their ranch beyond the Finger Lakes, near the head waters of Cottonwood Greek.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. g. Barring an extras complete obliy- ion, the greatest anonymity in Hol- lywood is enjoyed by the girl who plays second leads"
 She can be wen-known indeed, she can be beautiful and a fine ae- tress, she can be as agreeable and pleasant and surprising as ice wa ter at cocktail bar, but in the Hollywood spotlight she just isn't.
 Why this should be isn't clear, unless you fall back on the obvious, which isn't necessarily true. As second lead, she's always eclipsed by the greater glitter of the star.
 Some of us were ruminating on this circumstance the other day, and the name of Margaret Lindsay arose as the perfect example

Often, they themselves give up and start their stories with: When Margaret Kies of Dubuque, Iowa, was unable to crash pictures as an American etc.
 Other angles that have found their way into print on the Lindsay girl have been few. If has been dutifully recorded that she and Ja- net Gaynor are good friends, that she attended the American Acad- emy of Dramatic Art in New York City, that she sculptures a little, that she is fond of vacations in Mexico, adores Hawaii. and so on.
