Party a Perennial

This movement really is the third appearance of a progressive party that began stirring the sod back in 1910, when such Republicans as old Fighting Bob La Toilette, George Norris, William E. Borah and Hiram Johnson were throwing political monkey wrenches into their own party's machinery.
 In those days, Theodore Roose- velt, for one, and Woodrow Will son, for another. saw the ideals of these men making an impression on a broad section of the nations voters
 Roosevelt warned the Republi- cans, and Wilson warned the Demo- crats. Roosevelt was willing to lead the Republicans into progress sive channels. and Wilson was a candidate for President under the banners of the new freedom"
 The Democrats needed Wilson but the Republicans rejected Roosevelt, so he ran as the head of the Pro- gressive party ticket Wilson won. and the combined vote of the two progressive" candidates = Wilson and RoOsevelt-was more than T. 100000 ahead of the regular Repub- lican Taft.
 Then came the war and its af- termath of confusing economic ups and downs. It was not until 1924 that the genuine progressive move ment put in it's second appearance. This time, old Fighting Bob scorned the two major parties and carried the banner alone. He polled 5,000,00O votes-a mere drop in the bucket.
 In 1888 political confusion comes again. The American Labor party has real strength in New York state. Straw polls indicate Roosevelt popu- larity falling off slightly in the Far West and South. And here comes that same old progressive move ment poking it's head above the sur face, headed by the sons of old Fighting Bob.
 It looks as though the progress sive movement is perennial-and a hardy perennial at that.

been growing for long time. Why, in my 13 years on Capitol Hill, I have not seen one single strict ly party vote. Ask any Congressman what his politics is, he won't tell you he's a Democrat or a Republi- can, he'll tell you what kind of a Democrat or Republican he is. When parties get that way, they are no longer hanging together.
 But you cant expect a new political party to grow like Topsy. Somebody must express the prin- ciples Somebody has to write a general outline We have only made a beginning. We have no specific campaigns in mind We don't have our eyes glued on 1888, 40 or even IA We are not hooked up to any time schedule We hope and believe that a majority of the voters want to express themselves, want to feel that their vote will count"
 So, says Senator Bob, the pro- gressives who supported Roose- welt in 1886 are still for Roosevelt. They merely are against the Demo- cratic party. They think it is kill ing the Roosevelt program.
 You feel the new Progressive party would like to run Roosevelt for President in 1940-if he wants to take the chance. But Young Bob won't talk names and dates. He is appealing to a broad band of voters and he does not want to give any liberal a reason not to look into the new party plans.

Federal agents asserted the case
eventually will involve a number
of other persons.
The youth, an employe OF the
Northrup division of Douglas Air
craft Corporation, was accused
specifically of attempting to sell,
for $4,000, photographs of United
States Army and Navy airplaneS
in various stages of construction,
and documents dealing with the
construction of aircraft, embody-
ing closely guarded design secrets.
After having been under sur
veillance for several months, he
was secretly indicted yesterday
and arrested at his home in 1ngle-
wood last night.
Last May, it was alleged, Drum
mond secured a job at the Douglas
plant and managed to steal pho
tographs, documents and informa-
ton.
This was done, the indictment
charged, with intent to injure
United States defense plans to the
advantage of Japan.
Intervention of Federal agents
came before any transactions were
completed, it was reported.
Agents said Drummond admit
ted thefts of the plans and assert.
edly admitted possession of $50
photographs of the latest type
Navy planes, the powerful "BP-1'
type bomberS.
Agents who have been shadow
ing the youth said on May % he
boarded a japanese freighter in
Los Angeles harbor and discussed
with the master of the ship the
possibility that Japan might pur.
chase the photographs and docu
mentS.
The youth came to Los Angeles
from wichita, Kan, in May, 1887.

SUGAR TRAIN
OPENS SEASON
FOR JUNKETS
200 Congress Members
Off to Florida Tonight
Bv THEODORE HUNTLEY


The congressional junket sea-
son will be officially opened to-
night with the departure OF the
sugar special" for Florida. bear
ing some 200 members Of Congress
and their wives, sisters and auntS,
plus Sundry uptown Government
officials and a half dozen news
papermen.
As explained by Joe Ellis, a
F1oridian living in Washington
who represents the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce for the pur.
pose of arranging for the 16-car
special train and its official oc-
cupants, it's just pleasant little
trip arranged by proud FloridianS
for the benefit of the nations law
makers and without selfish Signif-
icance otherwise.
JUST A GOOD TIME
The State of uncompleted canals,
the Tamiami Trail and the sugar
lobby just wants to show the boys
a good time and do a little boast
ing about what they have down
there.
It seems-to go back a bit
that President Roosevelt recently
called the South the Nations
No. / economic problem. And
Florida wants it understood that
he didn't mean Florida. Or did
he?
To go back a bit more, a few
cynics with unusually good memo
rieS seemed to remember today
that during the recent PreSiden-
tial and congressional campaigns
spokesman for southern sugar in
terests, including some Florida
sugar daddieS, were quite active
in spreading the gospel that do
meStic producers should have q
larger allotment as against Cuba
and Porto Rico under the farm
bill, or better still, be allowed to
produce all the sugar they please
for the domestic market. It
was also recalled that the sugar
restriction provisions Of the farm
bill expire by limitation in 1910
which isn't so far off.
NO, NO SUGAR
According to Mr.. Ellis it Is I'm
kind and oh, quite inappropriate
to sweeten the story Of the junket
with sugar, and no one is even
going to mention sugar to the
Representatives and Senators
when they get there. But a quick
glance at the Florida itinerary
shows that the congressional visi-
tors are to spend part Of an after
noon and an entire evening at
Clewiston, a center Of the Florida
sugar industry. But, Of course.
no one may even mention sugar
at all.
Leaving here at 1890 tonight,
the sugar Special-pardon, the
congressional train-will make
several 15-minute stops Friday in
the Carolinas and at Savannah.
Reaching Jacksonville at 3:15 in
the afternoon, they will be met by
Governor Fred Cone (No, NO,
NO-O-O! Not Sugar Gomez and the
whole Florida cabinet. Also, &C.
cording to Mr.. Ellis, by the whole
Florida National Guard, or good
part of it.
There will also be a welcoming
committee consisting of the pub.
fishers and editors of Florida S
principal newspapers. who will at
tach themselves to the special in
two special cars of their own for
the duration of the junjet.
Jacksonville is to be the first
long stop. From there the party
will go to Miami Friday night
spend Saturday and Sunday in
Miami, and for the next three
days see about all of the rest OF
the State, with stops of from one
to several hours at various cities
and resorts.

nomic heresies" which had paralyzed
business.
And then, in sheer desperation"
Mr.. Hamilton said, "the officers burst
from their cabins, shattering the
solemnity of Holy Week to announce
their intention-not to steer away
from the shoals and whirling eddies-
but, full speed ahead. to steer straight
for the rocks Of greater spending and
psychological inflation.'
Again they hold out to us, their
passengers, the illusory hope that We
might in some mystical or magic
manner escape the disaster that has
come to every other nation following
such course"
Turning to what he called the
Presidents sudden reversion to mon
etary and credit dealings" Mr.. Hamil-
ton said:
The undisputed facts are" he said.
that our banks long have been filled
with idle money. Interest rates have
been low. There is no need to create
any more bank credit. What is needed
are prospective borrowers who see an
opportunity in private enterprise to
make reasonable profit and a rea-
sonable chance to pay back the loan" "
Mr.. Hamilton called upon the ad-
ministration to lift "paralyzing fear"
from business. The administration, he
said, had done nothing constructive
to help business, but on the contrary
had acted to discourage and dis
hearten business"
Republicans were not alone in their
opposition. A group Of Democrats,
headed by Senator Byrd. Democrat. of
Virginia, planned q vigorous attempt
to earmark public works expenditures.
While battle lines were forming over
the relief-recovery issue, q deadlock
continued in a Senate House commit
tee over the undistributed profits and
capital gains taxes. A continuing i'm
passe would delay the projected May
IA adjournment of Congress.
If the session should be prolonged,
leaders said, chances for House con-
sideration of the controversial wage
hour bill would be increased.

ARMY IS HOPEFUL
OF new HOUSING
Serious Handicap Seen by
Officials if War
Breaks Out.
BY the Associated Press,

6y the ASSOCIATED Press.
Army officials today were hopeful
q portion OF the millions recommended
by President Roosevelt for permanent
public works would be devoted to the
construction of a new home for the
War Department and other buildings
at Army posts throughout the Nation.
A national emergency such as war,
they said, would catch the War De-
partment seriously handicapped II
such structures were not we'll under
way.
The Army has building program
calling for an expenditure Of approxi-
mately $100.000,00 This includes a
War Department building. At pres
ent the department is housed in the
State Department and 18 other build
ings in Washington. Such splitting
up of quarters, officials said, would
cause much confusion in war time.
Owing to its expanding work. par
ticularly in trade agreements and mu-
nitions control, the State Department
has had to ask the War Department
Tor more room. The War Depart
ment in recent weeks gave up 1000
square feet Of space in the State De-
partment. transferring various Offices
to the Munitions Building.
War Department plans call for the
construction of department building
at cost Of $27 100000. Failing this,
they provide for the construction of
wing on the Munitions Building to
house the general staff at a cost of
$40 100000
Officials said Army posts were in
urgent need of new structures to re-
place those hastily thrown together
during the World War.
There is great immediate need. they
added, for s50O.0OO for repairs and
restWations at Army posts.
