Ex-Senator First Republican Wet to Enter Campaign. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Announcement by former Senator | Joseph 1. France of Maryland that he would be a candidate for the Repub- lican presidential nomination against President Hoover next vear left the Re- publican leaders in Washington cold today. ‘The announcement of Dr. France's candidacy, however, marks the entry of the first Republican wet into the presi- dential campaign of 1932. Senator Goldsborough of Maryland, Republican leader in the State, had the following comment to make on the France candidacy: “My opinion is that the Republicans of Maryland ere for President Hoover's renomination.” It is no secret that at Republican national headauarters the renomination of President Hoover is confidently ex- pected. However, it has been under- stood for some time that Republican wets in a number of the States, par- ticularly New York and Massachusetts, would seek to write into the Repub- lican platform a plank calling for a referendum on national prohibition, if not for revision or repeal of the eight- eenth amendment. Other Candidacies Question. Whethier other wets will follow the example of Dr. France and seek to become candidates for the presidential nomination has not been disclosed. Dr. France’s announcement of his can- didacy included tHe assertion that he | would file today as a candidate in the | land preferestial primary, which 15 to be held next year. Although there is much wet sentiment in Maryland, it has been generally held that a majority 3{7 the Republicans in that State are At the headquarters of the Associa- tion Against the Prohibition Amend- ment ti was said today that there had been no indorsement so far by the ase soclation of Dr. France’s candidacy. The opinfon was expressed, however, that the association would follow with in- terest the reaction to the announce- ment of Dr. France, particularly as he is the firt wet Republican to come out for the presidency. . France’s candidacy as a wet brings into the open again the division in Republican ranks over prohibition. The announcement comes at a time when Chairman Jchn J. Raskob of the Democratic National Committee is making a drive to have the Democratic party write his “home rule plan” for control of the liguor traffic into the Democratic national platform for 1932 » | The Republicans have been encouraged because of the deep resentment voiced by dry Democrats to the Raskob plan. Hopes Raskob Succeeds. Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, the Democratic national committeeman from New York, who was in Washing- ton yesterday, expressed a hope that Mr. Raskob would succeed in placing in the party platform next year a plank looking to the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Mr. Mack said he consid- ered prohibition was a major issue in this country. The Raskob home-rule plan, while it does not provide for re- peal of the eighteenth amendment, calls for another constituticnal amend- ment, which, according to dry Demo- crats, has the effect of repealing the national prohibition amendment. Senator Norris of Nebraska, Progres- sive Republican, who followed Al Smith in 1928, declared that Mr. Raskocb is seeking to nominate a cadnidate for President on the Democratic ticket who stands with Mr. Hoover on the water- power problem, the tariff and other | economic issues, and at the same time | to write into the party platform a wot | plank. ‘This, according to Senator Norris, ‘would leave the people to fight over the prohibition issue in the next campaign. The inference drawn from Senator Norris’ statement is that he is anx- lous to have the Democrats nominate a progressive an dto minimize the im- portance of the prohibition issue. Galen L. Tait, chairman of the Mary- land Republican State Central Com- mittee, drew a figure of speech in com- menting today upon the announcement of Dr. France, when he said: “I believe the passengers on the ship of state would prefer Mr. Hoover as the captain now at the helm.” ____WHERE TO DINE.

Girl Scout, | A WEATHER BLAMED FOR ROCKNE CRASH |Commerce Department As- serts Coating of Sleet on Wings Caused Disaster. By the Associated Press. Tricky weather has official blame for the airplane crash that killed Coach Knute Rockne and seven others at Bazaar, Kans,, on March 31. After saying unofficially that ice broke the plane propeller, the Commerce De- rartment asserted yesterday that a coat- ing of slect on the wings of the plane ap- parently was responsible for the mishap. In formal findings, the department said its aeronautics inspector found evi- | dence which indicated weather was the “primary cause of the accident.” After the plane pilot received radio reports from Wichita, Kans, that the weather was clear at that point, the statement said, he probably attempted to get above the clouds. “In doing so,” the findings said, “it is thought that ice collect=d on the plane and possibly rendered inoperative cer- tain instruments that function through the air stream. “Without these instruments to as- into a steep dive.. The results seem to indicate that on coming out of this maneuver, the change of direction oc- curred with such unusual rapidity as to build up an.enormous load on the wings, which in turn brought about the wing failure.” The decision was changed, it was ex- plained, because a missing propeller had been found. It was thought at first ice had shattered the propeller, the sub- sequent vibration tearing off a wing, but the missing part was discovered buried in the grougd.

After being treated by Dr. G. E. Lancaster, track physician, ‘he was placed in the Glendale Rescue Squad car, driven by Earle W. Woods, 19, who started out for Thomas' home at 508 D street southwest. Near the intersection of East Capitol and Third streets in Washington the | ambulance skidded on the wet pave- | ment, ran against a curb and turned on | its side. When a Washington Rescue Squad wagon arrived at the scene Woods was found to be uninjured and Thomas was not the wocrse for his second spill.

DES MOINES, Iowa, April 8.—Jouetf Shouse, chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee, formally opened the 1932 campaign of his party last night by laying the blame for the present economic and agricultural ills on _the doorstep of the White House. His address, of a series west of the Mississippi, did not include any mention of the prohibition issue. The “nauseous Grundy dose” of tariff legislation and the “monumental fail- ure” of the Federal Farm Board came in for strong criticism from th: Demo- cratic leader. | “These two principles had so far fallen short of their intent as to win, District appropriation bill for sidewalks | David P. Thomas, 56 years old, last | not the applause, but the rebuke of the | entire Nation.” Shouse d-clared, point- ing to the 1930 elections as evidence of the “distrust and dissatisfaction of the { people” which had fallen upon the | Hoover administration. | The Farm Board, he declared. was | the personal handiwork of President | Hoover, who “tossed overboard _the | counsel of your farm leaders and he | gave you the Farm Board with a half billion dollars to dicker with, ahd the result is that today your products are | worth about half "what they brought when he undertook to place agriculture |on a parity with industry, and the | whole gusi.nesx of farming is accord- ingly prostrated.” Unemployment, Shouse continued, has increased 149 per cent during the past year, and the only concrete legis- lation passed was two of three unem- ployment measures created by Senator Wagner, a Democrat of New York. Pointing to the Democratic gains in the 1930 election, Shouse declared it was a forerunner of the return of the Democrats to power. . Magistrate in Bengal Shot.

The theory that American women are || contributing to the depression by spend- ing money abroad appeared today in the mass of comment on the Raskob home rule plan. Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, New York national Democratic committee- man, was in Washington when he read the letter from Chairman Raskob ask- ing platform suggestions from national committeemen. Mack said he thought the 1932 plat- form’should inclutle a plan for repeai of the eighteenth amendment, whereas the national committee chairman proposed that amendment be retaired and an- other adopted to permit States to de- cide individually whether they would have prohibition. Blames Money Spent Abroad. “To my mind,” Mack asserted, “the botiom is out of prohibition,” Basing his statement on observations at the border point of Buffalo, Mack said he thought the amount of money Americars were spending in Canada and abroad contributed to “the condi- ticn in this country. “Every day hundreds of automobiles | cross over to Canada,” he said. | The tourists, he added, “not only spend the day in Port Erie but a day in Hamilton, perhaps, or a week in Toronto.” “If all they did was wine and dine," | he explaincd, “I wouldn't object, but | every woman who goes with her hus- | band is under the impression that she | can save money in buying Canadian | The amount of money spent in | by American women is tremen- goods. Canada Norris Sees “Sham Battle,” Meanwhile, others continued to ex- press divergent opinions on the Raskob poll. Senator Norris, Republican, Ne- braska, a leader at the recent progres- sives’ conference, said Ire believed Ras- kob was attempting to develop a “sham battle” over prohibition. He said that if prohibition cannot be enforced it ought to be repealed, but | insisted it should have a further trial. “I don’t think the American people will ever repeal the eighteenth amend- ment until they have been given some | d:finite plan they believe will work,” he said. “The only solution so far pro- posed is a return to the saloon. “I think every one will admit it has not had a fair chance. “What we cught to do now is to go right on with it, take it out of politics and give it an honest trial. “The lack of enforcement comes from the general breaking down of respect rgr law which civilization had before the war.” CITY BUYS $60,000 LOT May Use Plot for New Municipal | Garage if Needed.
