Rep. .Wearin
Is Out for
Senate

uN.SJ. Representative Otha
D. Wearin of Hastings, Iowa, to.
day announced his candidacy for
the Democratic senatorial nomina
tion In Iowa.
Wearin will oppose Senator
Gillette Cd of Iowa, who opposed
President RooSevelt's so-called
court packing" program.
Born on a farm near Hastings.
Wearin first entered politics as a
member of the State legislature.
He came to congress in 1882.
Wearin has attracted wide atten-
ton because he always wears a
red tie which to him, is a good
luck badge.
The Iowa Representative infer
entially claimed White House
backing in an announcement from
his office which said:
After a series of conferences
Gt the White House and with
Administration leaders, Con-
gresham Otha D. Wearin, Hast
ings, Iowa, farmer, announced
his candidacy for the United
States Senate today.
"Wearin. an active member
Of the House liberal group, has
been a militant supporter of
President Roosevelt's legislative
program. He is a member of
the powerful Ways and Means
Committee and is now serving
his third term in Congress"

Iplanes.
The huge plane, four times the
size Of any bomber ever built,
would have wing spread of 300
feet, carry a crew of 80, cruise at
$4,000 feet altitude with a flying
range of 5000 to 1000 miles, de.
pending on the bomb load, he said.
STILL "ON PAPER"
The ship would, weigh 25O,OOO
pounds. Martin made it plain that
the giant ship is "still on paper
and that building is not now con-
templated.
But, he added, his firm in Balti-
more recently made a $4,000 900
extension in its plant facilities to
gain an area equal to "15 football
fields" to meet the possibility that
some day such planes will be built.
There Is apparently no limit
to the size that planes can at
tain," he declared. "I wouldn't
advise building a ESQ, ,OO0-pound
ship without building in the in
termediate steps first"
TELLS OF DESIGNS
He then disclosed that he had
completed designs for q 10000
pound and a 7O,OOO-pound bomber,
both larger than any bomber built
thus far.
The 70,000-pound planes would
have a flying range Of 5000 to
900 miles, carrying from 1000 to
$4,000 pounds Of bombs. and a
speed Of 800 miles per
hour.

FRANK ASSAILS
new DEAL DRIFT.
AT COP PARLEY.
Old Guard Is Absent as
Policy Makers Meet

CHICAGO, Feb. % U.N.S0
DR.. Glenn Frank. chairman
opened the first meeting of the
Republican party's national policy
making committee today with the
assertion that five years of Fed
eral authority over enterprise has
stalled the nations economic ma
chine"
DR.. Frank outlined major drifts
in national policy toward central
ization Of authority, from eff
cheney to bureaucracy, from econ
omy to extravaganza and from
freedom in enterprise to domina-
tion of enterprise.
OLD GUARD ABSENT
The speaker was introduced by
John D. M. Hamilton, Republican
National Committee chairman, be-
fore gathering in which old-line
leaders were conspicuous by their
absence.
Calling the committee to assist
in remedying the ills from which
the country suffers, DR.. Frank, in
his keynote speech, said:
about the same number of
millions of workless men and
women haunt the councils of
craftsmanship as haunted them
five years ago. We have seen
a paralyzing uncertainty slow
down the nations enterprise
just when, by every count, it
was geared to go.
DON'T KNOW TUNE
"1n theory, the national
leadership has been planning.
In practice, it has been playing
by ear. with increasing signs of
not knowing with assurance
what the tune should be
1--WE are not a brain trust or
a group Of yeS-men to the
national committee. nor a
body of clustered experts,
whose ideals have never been
chastened by discipline.
I'VE are not here to prosecute
a campaign of petty and vindic-
tive faultfinding Many of |
the policies of the national
Administration have tragically
failed to produce results. It is
critically important that the
national mind be clarified.
CALLS FOR AUDIT
I'VE need to have done for
these issues now, what Hamil-
ton, Madison and Jay did, for
the issues of their time :. There
is a need for sweeping re-
education of the nation in
realities.
This is a task that can be
Of historic Importance if we are
but equal to its challenge. This
commission must make an
honest and objective audit of
the New Deal, beginning with
March, 1888, down to date"
PLEADS FOR HARMONY
Although a plea for harmony
was voiced by Henry A. Bubb, OF
Topeka, Kan, chairman of the
young Republican organization,
not a single member Of the so
called old guard was on the list
Of speakers at today's session.
In fact, william Hard, aide to
Hamilton, pointed to this situation
in several interviews yesterday.

no Capone or Bugs Moran or
John Remus or Ownie Madden
to bootleg for him. So he just
ran around with his tongue
hanging out.
CAMOSET had become almost

he learned that a new batch
Of English people-the Pilgrims
had landed down the coast
and were having a lot of trouble
with the Indians, that indeed
their numbers had been cut in
half through losses in battle
with their redskinned foes. To
the beer-loving Indian this was
a shameful thing. People were
being slaughtered from whom
he could doubtless obtain some
tipple-and maybe even learn
how to make it!
SamoSet made a special jour
ney to the territory of Chief
Massasoit, between whom and
Governor Bradford had risen
the quarrel or misunderstanding
which had brought about the

Maybe I lean to Thanksgiving
Day because it was started by a
jovial drunken Indian-and I
have a soft spot for drunken
joviality, even among Indians.
This particular topper was named
Samoset, later taking the prefix
Of John. He was a Maine Indian
and had been treated as a hui
man being by an English pion-
eer who antedated the Pilgrims
by several years. This man
taught Samoset some words of
English, but, better than that
from Samoset's point Of view, he
taught him to drink and to like
beer.
This big-hearted fellow disap-
peared, being either swallowed

bloody forays on the Pilgrims.
To Massasoit the friend of lib
eralism in all things explained
that these were a very friendly
sort Of people, If handled right;
and that their liquid concoc-
tions were something of much
greater good and comfort to In
dians than their heads.
He persuaded Massasoit to pay
a visit to Governor Bradford,
and Samoset's salutation as he
entered the settlement was:
welcome, Englishmen!"
THE Pilgrims were amazed and
l. gratified to hear redman
address them in their own Ian
guage - but their astonishment
was even greater when Samo-
set followed up his salutation
with this request-a novel one
then but a hackneyed one to-
day:
Have you got any beer?"
The Pilgrims assured him they
had and, leading Massasoit
along with him, Samoset en-
tered the dwelling house Of the
governor where they were served
with warm food, washed down
with beer. History does not re-
late whether or not the two In
dian chiefs got drunk-but we
can rest assured they left the
settlement feeling pretty good
for, a very short time later, rum
ners appeared before the gov
ernor bearing presents Of to-
bacco and ground nuts, now
known as potatoes.
After laying down their gifts
the runners explained that the
chiefs would be pleased to &C
cept case of beer-or whatever
form that much beer came in at
that time-in return. This
was sent along.

CAMOSET returned to the set
~ tlement and stayed there for
six months. He taught the Pill
grims the methods of his own
people in hunting, fishing and
planting. BY that fall the har-
vest was so bountiful that the
Pilgrims decided on a day Of
Thanksgiving and a feast to
which they invited $50 Indian
friends including MaSsaSoit and,
of course, Samoset, who by now
was an expert beer-maker.
That was the first Thanksgiv-
ing Day-founded, you might
say, on an Indians thirst.
