National Press Bullding Washington.—From this seat in the grandstand the view is quite clear that New About Deal leaders are Politics going out in this summer's prima- ries to nominate New Dealers against the conservative old line Democrats. I have looked into the local situation in a number of states and congressional districts and ev- erywhere the line of cleavage 1s showing. And these things are hap- tions of Postmaster General-Nation- al Committee Chairman Farley that there will be no interference. It is not the purpose here to re- port on every one of the states or and attempt, ing between New Dealers line.

The Indiana picture is further complicated by the smoke rings Paul McNutt is blowing around. Mr. McNutt, a former governor of the state and now high commissioner to the Philippine commonwealth, is running for the New Deal nomina- known jackrabbit. He says, how- ever, that he is not a candidate for anything. It is a statement that is hard to believe because the McNutt airplane flight from the remote is- lands, the speeches across the Unit- it ought to be recalled how Presi- dent Roosevelt and numerous of his spokesmen have threatened those Democrats who have disagreed with New Deal any serious way. The fight over the President's plan to rebuild the Supreme court of the United States caused a se- rious split in President's sup- port and it was diately after that threats about those who had refused to along on the court reorganization. About the time that fight was in its most bitter stage, it will be remem- bered, Senator Guffey of Pennsyl- policies in th ne there- —free publicity party given for Mr. McNutt at an outstanding Washing- ton hotel—all combine to spell the of a political boom of the Dem- ocratic state committee soon will be setting up a of choice— 3 slate its means that That is to the President It Sen- Of course, Mr. Van licked yet, but that is Nuys isn't he attempted to kick certain Demo- crats out of the party.

In that state, the bosses have trouble on their dates, and finally they took their troubles to the White House. (I mean the Democratic bosses which have supplanted the Republican bosses who used to rule Pennsyl- vania.) The result of the White House confab was that Governor Earle will run for Democratic nom- ination to the senate so he will be alongside another New Dealer, Sen- ator Guffey, and Charles A. Jones, Pittsburgh attorney, was picked as the nominee for governor. These selections were made by the state committee, which is controlled, of course, by New Dealers, and there- fore those are about the only names of importance that will be voted on in the statewide primary. But the significance of these things is not so apparent until it is known that two or three important Democrats in Pennsylvania have withdrawn and have ‘retired from politics’ as a result of the situation. Now, in Indiana, there is still an- other picture. It is probably the most interesting of any now taking shape. In the Hoosier state, we are started off with an announcement from the steps of the White House by Governor Townsend that ‘“Van Nuys must go.” He referred to the Democratic Senator Van Nuys who Pennsylvania Situation candi- ably will land our political policies in the middle of the road, instead on the wild-eyed programs of New Dealers or the moss- policies of hide-bound Re- publicans of yesteryear. As 1 picture in Indiana, therefore, it is not impossible to conjure up a situation in which the New Deal attempt to drive Senator Van Nuys from politics would back- fire to the extent of electing a Re- publican senator. Kentucky also provides a battle- ground. In that state, I think New Dealers made a great mistake and it may eventuate that the mistake will cost them dearly. Senator Barkley, the Roosevelt spokesman in the senate, is going to have to fight his hardest to win renomina- “Happy'' Chandler. see the itics of their home state tell me that the governor is a real challen- ger and that he is a campaigner of genuine ability. » * * Concerning the New Deal take: it will be New Deal Error mis- remembered when Mr. Roosevelt in- terfered in senate affairs by indicat- ing his choice for the leadership upon the death of That was the occasion when the President wrote to Senator and thereby attached a ti- tle that has proved such a source of levity. When it became apparent that Mr. Barkley would meet oppo- sition, the New Deal promoted a tes- sent numerous New Deal wheel- horses to Louisville to attend. Among them was Marvin Mcintyre, assistant secretary to the President. Well, the Chandler folks built up a nor on the same day. Although Mr. Mcintyre reached Louisville get to the Chandler luncheon. So that was that, and hundreds of Ken- tuckians at once decided that the New Deal was going to have Mr. Barkley and that made them say to themselyes that they would choose their senator. It is of such incidents that political victories and political defeats are made. Another battleground yet to be mentioned is Iowa. Senator Gil- lette was among those who did not like the President's court reorgani- zation scheme, and said so. From there on, he has been a marked man. He will have to fight for renomination, therefore, against a New Dealer—rather, an opponent of New Deal selection. Representative Wearin has announced that he will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination. © Western Newspaper Union, THE CENTRE REPORTER, CENTRE HALL, PA. ADVENTURERS’ CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF! “W hale Overturns Boat’ By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter ELLO EVERYBODY: Stick close, boys and gals. We've got to make a long trip today, and we don’t want anybody to be lost, strayed or stolen. We're popping off for the South Seas. Down there where they do say, the gals wear grass skirts, and men dive down into the water and choke sharks to death. There'll be some sharks in this story, too. It comes from an old salt who sailed the briny deep in the days when they had iron men and wooden ships. He's Alfred Stuart, of Jersey City. Al is up in the ties now, but he recalls mighty well the adventure he had almost half a century I get a big kick out of these yarns from the old timers. Some day I'm going to slip over to Jersey City and just sit down with Al Stuart and swap him. He shipped on a seven- ago adventures with out of New of mostly Portuguese sailors, a tough-egg officers.

The captain was out for big game, though, and he sailed round and round in the whaling zone, looking for more prizes.

A Portuguese sailor stood by with an ax to cut the line when it became taut. With a few more feet of its seventy-five fathoms to go, the line slackened. “Watch him now,” yelled the mate. ‘‘He's coming up There was nothing they could watch for. It was now dark as pitch, and there floated that little band of whalers trying to penetrate the inky night, straining their eyes for a sight of the whale Then, suddenly, bang! Crash! Their little craft was thrown completely out of the water. Men went hurtling through the air. The whale had come up directly beneath the boat and tossed it up as though it had been a toothpick. It cracked in two, almost amidships, and thé pieces whirled in the fierce eddies as the whale thrashed about. 4 The men managed to reach the stern half of the boat and to hang on for their lives, fearing all the while that the whale might crash it to tinder by another slap of his immense tail. And then, another, even more terrifying ed them. There was a swish in the water nearby. gor menace fac Sharks Were All Around Them. shouted the mate. “Everybody tread water Everybody pumping his legs up and down like a reserve football player up. And they treaded water for hours In the gloom of the night, they could hear the soft swish of water and faintly see the sinister dorsal fins as sharks nosed close to them. More and more of them. Exhausted men desperately kicking out at unseen dangers. It seemed the sea was literally alive with sharks. Slowly the dawn broke over the eastern clouds. And there, not fifty yards away was the whale floating on the surface. He was dead. But around him the water was seething with the fins of sharks, making a meal of the great hulk. “That's a big piece of luck for us,” was the mate's com- ment. “If it hadn't been for that whale near us, we'd all have been shark meat long before this.” The ship finally picked up the boat's crew, but it was almost noon before they did it, and most of the men were half dead from exhaustion. You can't stay in the water and keep on kicking for eight or ten hours, even in the South Seas, without feeling it right down to the bones. “Sharks,” started warming some whale. Incidentally, Al Stuart got two of that monster's teeth, and three-quarter pounds. How would those babies be for a watch charm? Copyright.—~WNU Service. Statuary Hall in Capitol Statuary hall in the United States capitol was formerly the house of representatives chamber, and was dedicated in 1864 as a National Stat- uary hall to which each state might send statues of two distinguished deceased citizens. Due to over- crowding, it was necessary to re- distribute one of the statues from each state, and a resolution was passed to this effect in the second session of the Seventy-seventh con- gress on February 21, 1933.
