The Kansas Scare

John HAMILTON, National

never been more frightened
than by the Winrod candidacy
in Kansas. Two weeks before the
primary he wrote a private let.

leaders to find out what they

% thought he would win the
State nomination.
A concentrated attack in the
final two weeks, led by Bill
White, liberal Emporia editor.
and the national Republican Or
ganization, is what ruined Rev.
erend Winrod.
The Republicans did not care
to have a Fascist spot on their
national banner.

NOTE-Alf Landon resisted
~ much pressure to avoid com.

because his old enemy Clyde
Reed and Knapp, the other two
candidates, would benefit. Lam

in the campaign. There was no
debate on public problems that
the Congressman might face in
the next two years-no pledge
to vote for or against war, no
consideration given the NLRB
or proposals to make it really
work for labor generally, moth
ing about lifting the embargo
on Spain, which is always a
leading subject in the liberal
magazines.
The purge candidate did not
even claim he was better
qualified man to represent the
district. All he claimed was
that Roosevelt was the better
man, and that he himself was
O better man to represent RooSe-
welt.
His opponent only made one
speech. The CongresSman-To-
Be.Purged said he was for Roose-
welt when Roosevelt was right
and against him when he was
wrong. He. said he would con-
tinue to represent the district,
not the President.
The issue as he saw 1t was
whether Congress should be
nullified as a national legisla-
ture by election Of all RooSe-
welt yes men, or whether Con-
gress should be q "but-"
branch of government as the
constitutional system of checks
and balances preScr'bes.
He thought this was liberalism.
One other factor was notice
able but not publicized. The
purge candidate was born in the
district, but had not lived there
much lately, and did not have
an unbroken voting record there.
A large number of residents did
not consider him truly a man
Of the district.

DOUC CORRIGAN
TALKS OF PLANS

NEW YORK, Aug. 5 U.N.S0
Douglas Corrigan stepped out Of
his shower and into the arms Of
cameramen and reporters today
and answered a thousand ques
tions during the next half hour
while dressing and downing hi
breakfast" of orange juice.
Among other points which he
settled were:
He will handle his own affairs
and will not retain an agent.
He has not and will not accept
any of the numerous PROPOSE
lions offered until he has had
opportunity to study them all.
The job must have an avia-
ton angle.
Corrigan has refused two offers
of $4,000 each and one Of SOS, 900
for his plane but the Smithsonian
Institution can have it for nothing
if it wants the ship.
Questioned for the umpt-umpt
time about his wrong direction
flight, Douglas smilingly admitted
that it wasn't the first time he
had been wrong.
Once flying from Eastland,
Ca, to Columbus, Ga, was 60
miles off my course on 40
mile flight" he said.
He smiled again when F. Bern,
representing American Airlines
told him that the line would not
hold him to the transforming
contract he signed Just before his
unScheduled flight to Ireland.
AS to the immediate future, he
will fly to Boston Monday as
passenger. Tuesday he will be
in Newark. leaving in the after
noon for Washington where he
will be guest, next day, at sew.
eral functions.
In a couple Of weeks he expects
to get up to Buffalo and later to
visit Galveston, San Antonio and
Houston, Texas, on September
II, he will go to Cleveland for the
National Air Races.

Definitely Out

NATIONAL political students,
AZ for these reasons, may doubt
the extent to which liberalism
lost, conservatism won, or the
bulk Of New Deal reforms them
selves were involved. Roosevelt
would probably carry the dis
trict today against anyone you
could name. unless a third term
issue complicated the problem
of liberalism involved. Further
more, he could probably carry it
for his SEC, banking, credit,
monetary, foreign policy re-
forms, ETC., but not for Supreme
Court packing or the Reorgani-
cation Bill.
Thus many q fairminded lib

He added:
And he doesn't drink, or
smoke or swim, and Joyce beat
him at ping pong!"
Joyce, a slender nymph, Ores
den-like in her prettiness. giggled.
You know he wouldn't go
into the pool with us; said he
was afraid of the water"
The youngsters. children of Mr..
and Mrs. w. E. Mickey. were re-
turning from a Six-week tour of
Europe when Corrigan, whose
mistake" flight has set the world
agog, boarded the ship at Cobb,
Ireland.
FUSED OVER
Everybody, they said, made a
fuss over the little Irishman, who
is only S feet 3 inches tall and
weighs about 100 pounds.
Not only did he answer all ques-
tons readily, but he showed the
children on the ships globe how
he'd made the mistake" flight.
Seen at their home. 4414 Twen-
ty-ninth st. N. w., today, the chill
dren. still bubbling with excite
ment over their meeting with the
famous flier, had hundred anec-
doteS to talk about.
Corrigan, they said, "chuckles
like a little kid; he's had 1900
cables from movie. magazine,
newspaper and other outfits, offer
ing him fabulous sums to write,
act. autograph or pose for pic
lures. And, said Joyce, Speaking
of autographs Mr.. Corrigan gave
us lots of them. He gave them to
anyone who aSked-and there
were a thousand people on the
ship"
EXCITING RETURN
But the most exciting period of
all was when the ship steamed
into New York Harbor. Said
Joyce:
"A fishing boat, called the
Celtic Circle, filled with Irish
men dressed in bright green and
yellow, came out. They shouted
at Mr.. Corrigan who answered
them through megaphone. Fl
nally two Coast Guard cutters
had to warn them away because
the fog was so heavy we nearly
hit them"
Corrlgan, they said, was
Swamped by reporters, photog-
rapherS and newsreel men.
TIRED BUT GRINNING
They pounded him with ques-
tionS, took pictures, and never let
him alone for a second.
When it was all over he
really looked tired-but he kept
grinning," said Joyce.
Apparently still surprised over
the fuss people are making over
him, the filler, according to Joyce
and Billy, is SO simple, unaffected,
and accommodating that every
one aboard ship was completely
won over by his charm.
I'VE asked him" Joyce said.

So I run cause l love it, and the

With my nose at the BARRED, frisk

And when the bar swings, I'm ready
to 60,

His heels at my tanks as he cautions,

Ye Gods! how / pass them, really
could pass them,
As we race to the finish. They're
through, one and all.
Veal I'm good and know it, my
grooms surely know it,
They rub me and scrub me, and feed
me with zest,
They look at me fearful, and some
times quite fearful,
For I'm King of the Turf, of the
runners, I'm best;
So, come out and see me, when once
they but free me,
I'll outrun the Field, and Boy! / feel

And you'll thrill at the yelling, ever
swelling and swelling,
