t Msc. > : Frank Sees Definite Goal As America’s Greatest Need Today| \.D.,FARMERSAYS By WILLIS THORNTON (NEA Service Staff Correspondent) In choosing Glenn Frank as head of a Republican committee to holst a Party standard “to which the wise and honest may repair,” the Republicans select a man who is keenly aware of the party's need for such a standard. Frank, a preacher, writer, aditor, has spent much of his time since 1930 attacking just that problem. In his 4 book, “America’s Hour of Decision,” he wrote: “To know what we want is the be- ginning of statesmanship. Do we know what we want? Here in the United States? Now? Do we know what we want government to be and €o in relation to the whole mechanism ‘and movement of American life and enterprise over which, at its moment of highest potential power, the shadow of a vast futility fell? ... Do we, in short, know what kind of political or- der we want? Do we know what kind of social order we want? Do we know what kind of economic order we want? “We cannot make the decisions de- manded of us at this juncture in American affairs unless we shake our- selves free from this paralyzing inde- cision of will.” i Known as » Liberal It is perhaps this clear recognition by Frank of the need of the party for more clearly defined goals that led to his selection to head the committee that will try to define them. Frank has for years been known as a “liberal” among Republicans. That no longer means much. So was Nicholas Murray Butler. Frank’s lib- eralism is such that he believes much of what passes for liberalism today is really reactionary. He thinks the road through the NRA and AAA to central- ized and detailed control over the econ system is in essence a reac- tiona: at all. Frank believes in expansion of pro- duction as against its limitation. He admits that modern industrial condi- tions make imperative an incri Dr. Glenn Frank. He will head &@ committee to formulate policies with which to cembat the New Deal . ISMARCK FIGHTER GIVES UP DECISION road, and not truly Uberalj) Weymouth Loses to Murray of Beulah on Fort. Lincoln Card; Schneider Wins easing Se government activity in the field of] Bill Weymouth, Golden Gloves mid- business and‘ industry; he adds that “the problem of determining the di- rection and degree of governmental activity in economic affairs” is “the major. issue of this generation.” Frank has advocated the maximum dieweight champion, lost a decision to Glenn: Murray, pole. hauler in the mine at Beulah, in a three-round bout at Fort Lincoln Monday night. The bout was one of a number staged at the monthly smoker forpsoldiers at the freedom for - individual enterprisers| post. + consistent with today’s technology. A Snappy Phrase-Coiner He is.an apt phrase-maker, and his characteriaztion of the leaders of yes- terday as: “mushroom monarchs of business, industry, and finance,” who ( “strutted for a day while the fantastic era of speculation came to a climax,” shows no longing for a return to the “good old days.” “Lush growth of bootleg religions,” “apostolate “of fakirs,” show that Frank pan ‘pay his respects to oppo- nents ih just as juicy terms as Frank- lin Roosevelt or General Johnson. Whatever the final report of his com- mittee ‘reveals, it should make snap- Pier read{ng than most similar docu-. preacher, who. won a bride from among a congregation by his eloquence and brilliance, is still on‘Glenn Frank. He quotes the Bible freely and aptly, and his concern is obvious at a world in which religion is a less active force than it might be. Yet he can pay sardonic respects alike to “the psalm-singing captains of industry . .". whose piety and prac- ticality never quite mesh,” and to “the | by parson turned lobbyist.” Despite this background he was a supporter of re- Peal of national prohibition. Politically Ambitious Though a prolific and constant writer on national affairs, Frank has never been an active Republican in , the sense that Nicholas Murray But- ler has been. He took no part in the forming of the Republican committee of 150, which he is now asked to head. And he knew nothing of his appoint- ment until he read it in the newspa- pers. : Nevertheless, Frank is generally re- garded as politically ambitious. When, at 38, he went to head the University of Wisconsin 11 years ago, he put down deep roots there, After his ousting from that job last January by Gov. Phil LaFollette in a Political and administrative row, there were many whispers in Wisconsin that Frank planned a political career, per- haps first running for the senate, However that may be, a mind that UNEXCELLED TOASTING QUALITIE makes BREAD A BREAKFAST FAVORITE Ask your grocer for it The results of other bouts were as follows: Sonny Schneider, Bismarck, knocked out Baker, Beulah, in the sec- ond round; Hoffman, Beulah, deci- sion Ely, Bismarck; Rubert Reed, Fort, Lincoln, knocked out Lew Voeltz, Beu- lah, in the second and the bout was not continued an extra Rae #o:a decision for this Holiday Travel in NW Best Since 1929 ing in and out of Minneapolis. ; All railroads were running extra cars and extra sections of their finest FONDA FATHER New York, Dec. 22.—(#)—Mrs. Henry Fonda, wife of the movie actor, gave birth Wednesday to a daughter.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1937 AAA MONTES WELL SPENT IN WESTERN Soil and Water Conservation Stimulated and People Kept on Land, Pelton Avers AAA payments which have gone to farmers in ‘western North Dakota have served three important purposes, W C. Pelton of Dunn Center, chair- man of the county agricultural con- servation committee in Dunn county, is reported by the Killdeer Herald as saying. Pelton asserts these payments have lowing and generally improved sum- merfallow practices and in the water conservation practices such as the construction of small dams. The ef- fect can be seen on the ranges where ranchers are giving the native grasses &@ chance to come back. “The second long-time benefit is the knowledge which farmers have gained of new methods and of the problems facing agriculture. The many meetings and discussions which have been held in connection with. the AAA allotment and soil conserva- tion programs have resulted in farm- ere having a better knowledge of ag- riculture than they ever have had be- fore,” Pelton says. “Finally,” he adds, “the AAA pay- ments have helped keep up the morale of the people in an area where crops Rave failed year after year and where without these payments many farm- ers would have had to give up farm- ing.” AMA APPROVES SAN HAVEN SANATORIUM North Dakota Tuberculosis Re- treat Is Okayed for Resi- dency Training North Dakota's tuberculosis sana- torium at San Haven has been ap- proved for tuberculosis residency by the American Medical association, Chairman Jennie Ulsrud of the State Board of administration said Wednes- day.

He said approval places Notrh Da- kota’s hospital on the same medical basis as Glendale Sanatorium at Min- neapolis and Saranac Lake sanator- ium in New York. | At present 332 patients are being treated at San Haven by Dr. Dodds and four assistants and more than a rie registered nurses, Mrs. Ulsrud Attorneys Appointed To Bar Committees Bismarck and Mandan attorneys are represented on 7 of 19 committees of the North Dakota Bar association as recently appointed by President L.
