Fish Demands 6. 0. P.
Nominate Candidate
Pledged 10 Peace
Denounces Democratic

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TUCSON. Ariz., Dec 2.-Denounc-
ing the Democratic party as rapidly
becoming the war party Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish of New
York said tonight he would support
for the Republican presidential
nomination any candidate pledged
to keep America out of armed con-
flict, who could consolidate liberals
and conservatives into a middle
road party.
Keeping America out of war and
finding employment for American
labor are the two greatest issues of
the coming presidential campaign. :"
Mr.. Fish said in addressing the
Pima County Republican Club.
The ranking minority member of
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee said he would insist that the
Republican party "oppoae in every
way the international policies of the
New Deal and make clear its deter
mination to keep America out of all
foreign entanglements and wars"
Might Become Candidate.
Prior to his address, the New
Yorker authorized for publication
the statement that he was prepared
to enter Republican primaries to
seek delegates to the national con-
vention as candidate for the presi-
dency if other candidates ignored
the issue of keeping the United
States out of war.
At the banquet in his honor he
omitted that statement, but re-
iterated his belief that the Repub-
lican candidate should stapd for the
traditional isolationist policy of the
United States.
He declared that Communism is
the only possible victor in the pres

Three Villagers Kill Flyers.
That the public remained un-
daunted respite the almost con-
slant air raids was indicated in
a report from the Karelian village
of Olkinuora asserting three Rus
sian flyers had been killed by a
crowd of women and children.
Children saw the flyers abondon
a disabled plane by parachute and
land in a field. They notified the
villagers Women and children
armed with axes, pitchforks. clubs
and shotguns surrounded the Rus
slams and demanded they surrender.
The aviators refused, drew their
guns and fired into the crowd which
attacked the Russians and killed
them.
Snow fell in Helsinki. bringing
hope of protecting clouds and
respite from the Soviet air raids
which have reduced some parts
of the city to shambles
Refugees crowded roads leading
out Of the capital and women and
children packed the railroad station
waiting for trains.
Business was almost at stand
still and few persons were on the
streets.
Relatives and friends Of missing
persons searched in the tangled
wreckage of apartment buildings
for some clue of their fate.
The short winter day made the
air raids particularly trying. Every
time warning was sounded citizens
had to feel their way through
darkened streets hunting shelter.

With a view to testing public de-
mand for television use, the Federal
Communications Commission is CIV
Ing serious consideration to the de-
STABILITY of holding public hearings
on the report of the F. c. C. Tele-
vision Committee before taking final
action, it was learned Yesterday.
Some of the commissioners, it was
said, are standing firmly for public
hearings to air the problem, while
others are pondering the question
as to what may be gained through
hearings. with the people generally
without any knowledge of the mat
ter. and with no programs yet avail
able for them to f1nd out anything.
The high cost of sets and the pos
sibility of too rapid obsolescence due
to possible changes in the size of the
screen and the lines have been fac
tors which led the committee to 60
slowly in informing the public that
the art is here The size of the
picture, it was asserted, has raised
the question as to whether it is
large enough to be acceptable to the
public. except as novelty. in the
same manner that radio was first
accepted. But it was pointed out
that radio sets. in the early stage,
cost very little in comparison with
present costs of television receivers.
Sport Program Shown.
Nof oil of fo re-
new art have been collected from
the radio industry. The committee
has gone afield in an effort to de-
termine whether the picture is of
such size as to attract public re-
sponse, and has information. to
which it has given considerable Gre
dence. that the picture is not yet
large enough. To increase it with
out corresponding increase in the
number of lines now used. it was
said, would plainly show the line
impulses in the picture.
The demonstration of the new
portable set which was given the
commission Friday is said to have
shown members of the commission
and the staff the possibilities of
finding programs in sporting events
where three cameras are used at
considerable distances so as to pick
up various features of an event in
such sequence as would be deter
mined by the operator at the mon
itoring station.
1t was pointed out that even in
the use for sporting events, partic-
ularly for outside work, the matter
of light is as important as in the
case of a camera This became ap-
parent to the commission during
the demonstration.
Regular Broadcasts Sought.
But even with that. it is believed
that the commission is ready to give
the art every possible boost, and
the committee in its report has pro-
posed rules which are believed to
be flexible enough to provide the
INDUSTRY with a means of getting
it before the public, by providing
for it to come before the F. c. C.
whenever it has what it believes to
be a feasible program system which
will assure some semblance of reg
ularity, as contrasted with the peri
odic broadcasts now available

with visions Of reaching Sioux City
early the next day, we decided TO
drift all night and catch up on our
sleep the next day.
Just why two so-called sane
thinking people do such things Is
mystery. We knew better.
Louise had hardly curled up in
the front end when the boat plowed
head-on into a shallow bar. The
powerful current started to swing
US and heel us over, so 1t Was an
other case of going over the side
and hauling the boat into deeper
water.
Then It began to get cold. After
the sitting heat Of the day It
seemed incredible that 1t could get
so cold so quickly. Thanking our
stars we hadn't shipped back our
jackets and trcnchcoats. we dug
them out and put them all on, and
still that penetrating dampness ate
Its way through us.
Bob Gets Groggy
That sudden cold wave must
have slowed up Bob's blood or
something, for very shortly he be-
gan to get sleepy.
There are much safer places in
the world to fall asleep than at the
stern paddle of a canoe drifting
down the Missouri river. Twice he
caught himself starting to topple
over the edge Of the boat, so that
1t listed dangerously. Chain smok-
ing of cigarets helped little for
awhile, then he became groggier
than ever.
The river took on a distorted ap-
pearance. Snags seemed to rise
up like wicked hands trying to
reach the boat; the boils seemed
to be little warning voices shout
ing at us. and. gazing bleary-cyed
at the moons path on the river.
1t seemed as though the boat was
struggling up an endless hill.
Under those circumstances there
wasn't anything to do but put
ashore and try to walk II off. So
Bob spent good half hour tramp
ing up and down a muddy sandbar
and throwing up smokescreen
with innumerable cigarets in vain
battle against the mosquitoes.
Almost Hit Ferry
After that relaxation he was
good until almost o'clock, when
Morpheus again moved in to the
attack, and this time would not be
denied.
Still there were no dry bars. 50

muddy bar and curled up as best
he could in the stern sheets. Did
you ever see six feet of man imi-
tate an accordion in about three
feet of space. You should have
seen Bob fold up In that space be-
tween the stern thwart and scat.
He was awake again in an hour,
shivering so vigorously that the
whole canoe was actually shaking.
Dawn was just breaking in the
east. and heavy vapor was ris-
ing off the river. Feeling padding
was preferable to freezing to

were evicted forcibly Tuesday as
800 members of this small COM

their home on stretchers and taken
to hospitals. as neighbors. sum-
moned by blast from the town
fire siren, surrounded the house.
State police were called by I'm
dersheriff Leonard Eckman and
eight constablcs. who were remov-
ing the family from the house they
lost for non-payment of taxes.
Volunteer firemen were unwinding
hoee from a fire truck to attack
the constables when state troopers
routed them.
Mrs. Mary Scott, Sc, walked out
OF the house voluntarily after her
mother and son were removed.
Mrs. Scott, suffering from severe
heart condition. has been caring
for the other two since all their
furniture, except their beds. was
removed three weeks ago.
Charles Layton. who pur-
chased the house at a sheriffs
sale and obtained a court writ
for the eviction, appeared
after the crowd gathered and
was stoned by number Of
men. He leaped into his auto
mobile. struck another ma
chine In turning around, and
fled.
Ncighbors have been providing
the family with food since sheriff's
deputies removed the furniture.
Mrs. Scott is the widow of a for
mer lumber dealer here, who died
nine years ago leaving an estate
valued at more than 100000.
