A—I14 1E_ SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., OCTOBER 1930—PART ONE. ENGINEERS REVIEW | NEW LEGISLATION Council Helds Analysis Indi- cates Many Constructive Accomplishments. Analysis of the actual results of the | “first Hoover Congress” indicates “a | vast amount of constructive accomplish- | ment,” a statement issued yesterday by the American Engineering Council de- | clared. The council, which was formed 10 | s years ago as the public service body | of the Nation's engineering profession, | with Mr. Hoover as its first president, told of its own participation in public | g affairs, saying that “through the volun- tary effort of engineers many good measures have been passed and many | bad measures defeated.” The council kept a careful record of | and observed the progress of the various legislative items, it was said. i Many Laws Favored. | Among the subjects of the laws en-! acted which were favored by the council | were listed the following: i Rivers and harbors, reorganization of | the Federal Power Commission, an act | Tequiring safe and suitable boilers and ! appurtenances on locomotives, authoriz- ing an appropriation to enable any State to co-operate with another for the protection of watersheds of navig- able streams, forest preservation, the universal draft law, George Washington Memorial Parkway, national parks, co- ordination of the public health ac- tivities, Federal Radio Commission, plant patents, toll bridges, patent law revision, the National Hydraulic Labora~ tory, authorization for additional labor statistics, commission to study the sub- ject of conservation and administration of the public domain, drainage districts, Federal road aid, George Washing- ton Memorial Highway, International Petroleum Exposition co-operation, United States census, vocational Te- habilitation of industrial employes and civil service classifications, | The council was declared to have op- posed “proposed detrimental legislation” on the following subjects: Government | operation of Muscle Shoals, certain toll bridge legislation, permitting Govern- ment engineers to accept dual salaries from foreign countries, requiring con- tractors to give preference to certain | classes of labor, compulsory licenses for | unused patents, barring engineers from ! assisting inventors in the perfection of their inventions, bill relating to suits | for infringement of patents where the patentee is violating the anti-trust laws, establishment of a National Reclama- tion Control Service, bill interfering with development of civil aviation and several ill-chosen schemes to disrupt | the Federal Power Commission. 30 of 39 Projects Enacted. “Good authorities show,” the council continued, “that President Hoover in- itiated 39 legislative projects, of which 30 were enacted into legislation by the | Seventy-first Congress. Undoubtedly several of the remaining nine will be enacted in the coming session of Con- gress.” Some of the “outstanding general ac- complishments from an engineer’s view- point of the Seventy-first Congress, as stated by the council. were: Tax reduc- tion, Farm Relief Board, public build- ings, program for the development of the Nation's waterways, increased ap- propriation for Federal aid highway building, Federal Radio Commission, | SHOWED WAY IN NIGHT FLY 4 and second, because he has voted with MISS MARION BOW] ‘Who made student flying pay by writing about it, says she learned to fly first ook up automobile driving, obtaining her driver's license the day after | T She was born in Chicago, Tll, and lived some he made her first solo hop. years in Denver, Colo., before going to Los Angeles, Calif., to be the first woman to make a solo flight at night.

HARBOR BEACH, Mich,, October 4. —Local news item: Willlam Spink, of this village, who went to Detroit Thurs- day to buy a suit, has returned. Bill says he is going to buy his suits at home in the future. And this is what the editor left out: Arriving in Detroit, Bill bought & natty suit, pocketed $35 change, tucked his filvver in a garage, and set out to “do the city.” ‘Three blocks from the garage Bill 1 and ‘or two and a half hours forgot his | troubles. | " ‘When Bill strolled out of the door of | the movie palace he saw a cop sitting on the running board of his car. One glance was enough. The window was broken, and his natty new suit was missing from the back seat “My new suit,” yelled Bill. stole: “It's been unno anything sbout the suit,” | said the officer, “but here's a ticket for parking overtime on this street.” | " Bill broke down then, sobbed out his story to the cop, and got his only break foreign mail contracts have been ex-|looked into the muzzle of a big black In & bad day.

These are: Proper disposition of Muscle Shoals, codifica- tion of toll bridge laws, Government Teorganization, railroad consolidation, communications legislation, engineering experiment stations, etc. “That these problems can and will be adequately solved there is no doubt. and it is equally certain that the engineer i} make his contribution toward that INDIA JOINS IN PARLEY Twenty-Two Delegates on Way to Attend London Conference.

Popular With Catholics. In Nebraska there is a large num- | ber of Irish-American Catholics and most of them are in the Demccrat party. Many of them are grateful to Senator Norris ‘for his open support of Al Smith in 1928. Many of them b: lieve that Smith lost the State in 192 | because of religious prejudice; that religion was the real jssue &gainst Smith in that election. It is sald, now, that a large number of these Catholic | Democrats will vote for Norris on No- vember 4. | The German-American group in | Nebraska casts a large vote, probably 175,000 votes in all. These German- | Americans have been Democratic_and they have been Republican. _They helped elect Hitchcock to the Senate in 1910 begause the Democratic or- ganization, generally speaking, was wet | in Nebraska in those days. They helped |to elect him in 1916 not only because he was an_opponent of the proposal for national prohibition, but also be- | cause of the Wilson slogan, “He kept | us out of war But in 1922, when | Senatar Hitchcock came up for r | election again, the German-American trongly opposed to him. | Hitchcock had had charge of th | lution in the Senate declaring | Germany. He had tried to e | through the Senate after the war the | Versailles treaty and League of Nations | covenant, which German-American | sentiment opposed. And Hitchcock vent down to defeat with a bang, Sena- tor Howell, Republican, defeating him by_172,000 votes. This German-American _vote very | largely is still opposed to Hitchcock, it is said. Furthermore, the German- Americans are favoring Norris because he voted against the armed merchant ship resolution before this country went into the war and because he voted | against the resolution declaring war on Germany. Two From Omaha. __ __ Another argument advanced by sup- porters of Senator Norris and against Senator Hitchcock is found in the fact that if Hitchcock were elected there would be two United States Senators halling from Omaha, Hitchcock and Howell both being residents of this city. It has been the custom to have Ne- braska represented in the Senate by one man from the northern part of the State and another from the southern. The senatorial campaign in this State is being conducted along rather strange lines for a political battle, because of the unusual circumstances existing | here. Neither candidate is making a personal attack on the other. And nei- their candidate is violently assailing the opposition party. If Senator Hitchcock were to turn loose a double-barrel at- tack on the Republcian party he might alienate many of the Republican voters | whose support is s necessary to_him Senator Norris, on the other hand, | needs Democratic support. The cam- | paign, up to date, therefore, has con- !tained very little fireworks. The bit- | terness is there, but it is running under | the surface. | Senator Norris, one of the most caustic critics of the Republican ad- | ministration, also has to watch his | step -when it comes to attacking his |own party in Washington, because | such attacks may make a still bigger Republican vote here for his Demo- | cratic opponent. Entered Reluctantly. ‘When Senator Hitchcock first entered the race for the Senate this year, it was with considerable reluctance. It A Few Washington Free-Wheeling Owners ..., American Ice Co.

FULL BRAKING POWER OF ENGINE CONSTANTLY AVAILABLE —_—— e INCORPORATED 1132-3¢ CONNECTICUT AVENUE (Opposite the Mayfloter) looked at the time as though the | Democratic party nomination would .a| by default to Dr. Jennie Calfas, who | in 1928 deserted the Democratic national ticket and came out for Presi- dent Hoover. When Senator Hitch- | cock finally consented to become & candidate for the senatorial nomination | it was largely to keep the Democratic | party in line and to prevent its be- | coming almost as much of a nonentity in Nebraska as it has become in Wis- consin, for example, and in some of | the other States of the West. Indeed. | the report went out that Senator | Hitchcock would make little effort to | bring about his own election. But all | that was changed. Democratic leaders in_the national | nization, who look with considera- able complacency upon the election of Senator Norris, miss their guess if they think that Mr. Hitchcock and his sup- | porters are not working - like beavers | today to bring about a victory for| Hitcheock. It is true that Senator Hitchcock s not making & stumping tour of the entire State, speaking daily. While Senator Hitchcock is in good health, he is 71 years old and not in shape for a hustling campaign | He is using the radio and speaking more infrequently. But he is reaching thousands of the voters. He has not asked for assistance from the Demo- cratic national organization because, as h> says, he is quite capable of carrying on his own campaign. In this connec- tion it may be said that the Democratic | organization in this State right now | seems to be better able to finance its campaign than is the Republican. Many of the business men of the Stat>, who are able to contribute funds to a campaign, are ‘hostile to Norris and if | they contribute anything are more likely to contribute to the Hitchcock | side of the fight than to th= Norris side. When Senator Hitchcock’s attention was called today to Teports from the taken seriously, he sald, emphaticall ‘They will know that ther: has been a real campaign on before this fight is over.” Senator Hitchcock is a mild-manncred man, but he is in this fight to stay, he de it clear, and to do his utmost to | win. He has already resented a report from the East to the effect that the | Democratic Senatorial Campaign Com mittee was not inclined to do any thing for him in this campaign, but looked forward to the elsction of Sen- ator Norris. While thousands of Republicans are expected to vote for Hitchcock, as a general thing the regular Republican leaders, big and lttle, are saying little about it openly. Here and there a county committeeman of the Republican faith has come out in the open for Hitchcock, and two or three have re- signed their committeemanships-to work r the Democratic senatorial candi- date. The fact of the matter is that on the State ticket this year are hoth regular Republicans and Norris follow- ers. The regulars are afrald that if they come out in the open for Hitch- cock, they may make it difficult for their regular candidates on the State ticket to win. They fear possible re- prisals frem the Norris forces. So «the campaign against Norris on the Repub- lican side, rather than for Hitchcock, goes forward rather quietly. Third Candidate Running. There is a third senatorial candidate in the field, Mrs. Beatrice Fenton Craig of Lincoln. Mrs. Craig is running as an independent, but claims to be the Simon-pure regular Republican candi- date. It might be expected that the votes she receives would be in the na- ure of a protest against Senator Nor- ris. Under such circumstances, she may take votes which otherwise might be “cast for Hitchcock by Republican opponents of Norris. It is not expected East that his candidacy was not to be however, that she will poll a large vote. : | per | candidates can be elected to cffice. I ldhaps sixteen to twenty thousand all | told. Senator Norris, in a raocnt speech at Pawnee City, said that it was his “hon- est opinion’ that the greatest injury to honest, fair government is partican- "’ It was a clear bid for D:mo- votes, in the opinlon of the heool: supporters.
