E. V. Rickenbacker, ;famous World War ace, appeared be- ore a senate sub-committee exam- ining into the airmail situation. Answering @ question, Col. Ricken- ‘packer commented he thought the ‘president has been the victim of bad ‘advice in cancelling the airmail con- tracts and remarked it was a greater tragedy than it appeared to be be- cause it had the effect of weakening the confidence of the people in the president's judgment. ‘Whereupon Senator McCarran of ‘Nevada, one of the newest senators, eaked Col. Rickenbacker to confine himself to the airmail matter and not criticize the president or make Political speeches. It was necessary for Senator Logan of Kentucky, also ‘@ Democrat, to take the part of Col. Rickenbacker by remarking he did not think the observation was po- iitical in its nature. ‘The nub of the whole thing is made clear when one compares the zecords of Senator McCarran and ol. Rickenbacker. This western law- maker is a flannel-mouthed gentle- man who can start his tongue on the job of making a speech and then ‘walk away and leave it going. Arriving in Washington with more than ordinary ambition, he essayed to become a combination Huey Long and Joe Robinson. He wanted to be both a wise cracker and agitator and a statesman. It took consider- able quiet chastisement by his fel- Jows to convince this feather-brained individual that the senate could not Properly be said to consist of Sena- tor McCarran and 95 others, Among other things, McCarran got in just a little bad with the admin- istration. His Huey Long tendencies did that. Then he found he wasn't getting anywhere so he began to Play up to the chief executive. His Ppiously political condemnation of Rickenbacker is the best public example. During the war Rickenbacker risk- ed his life in countless encounters over the lines, shot down 26 enemy airplanes. Before that he had been a racing @utomobile driver and an expert on anternal combustion engines. Returning from the war, he ac- @epted one of the numerous offers which had been made to him and became an executive in an automo- ‘Dile firm.
