BORAH ADVOCATES REVOLT IN G. 0. P Favors Drastic Action if Present Party Heads Re- fuse to Resign. (Continued From First Page) which the opposition might bring | forth might well turn out to be trip- lets. Better triplets than sterility. The Republican party has reached | its lowest ebb in power and influence | in its history. That is due in part; to conditions over which the party could have no control. But in the large part it is due to the unwilling- ness or the inability of those in charge of the party organization and the leaders of the party to meet the great problems confronting us upon a broad and humanitarian basis.” After Fletcher's Scalp. What Borah asks is the political head of Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of Pennsylvania, who was put into office last June, and the political heads of others he regards as old guardsmen, like Rorabach, national committeeman for Connecticut, Hilles of New York, Williams of Oregon | and others. i “For myself,” said Borah, “I do| not want a third party. I want a Republican party. Why should the‘ millions of Republicans through the country give up the name, the tra- ditions, the great record of the party simply because a few men holding positions of startegy refuse to recog- | nize political realities. “Mr. Hilles says: ‘Hold fast! Hold fast. until the storm is over. That has been the cry of every dying politi- cal organization that ever lived and | died. That is the major strategy of the machine in a crisis. Hold fast until the storm is over! Have they no concern and no sympathy for the millions who are out in the storm and must perish, or find shelter elsewhere while they are hoiding fast?” Taking up another part of the Hilles | letter, Senator Borah quoted the New Yorker as saying: “The people voted ( in the last election) to continue pro- posals they know are wrong.” “Now. just why,” said Borah, “did | the people do that? Because, as one would learn from every source, they would rather go along with the pro- gram, to much of which they thorough- ly objected. than go back to a party | controlled by men apparently un- willing to support any program broad enough to include the interests of the whole people, brave enough to meet the economic problems which are| grinding them into bankruptcy and destitution. Doubts Swing Is Final. | “I haven't any doubt at all but that | there is great opposition to many of | the measures of this administration. | But I haven't any doubt, either, that | if the reactionary forces continue to control the party, millions who are | really Republicans and wculd like to | support the party will never go back to the support of the party. “Mr. Hilles said that the Republican party should continue to stand its| ground in this tremendous crisis. What the people want to know is, what ground? Is it going to take up the work where it left off? If he would state the ground, you would have in plain terms why it is that the Repub- | lican party has lost the confidence of | the American people to such an ex- tent.” Borah began his statement by saying that it must be apparent to ail a! change in the personnel of the national | organization is essential. It is the one | refrain, he said, which is heard among | Republicans the country over, “not only among those who some persons would choose to call radicals or ""Il surgents, but among men and women perfectly loyal to the party. “The great body of Republicans do not accept the attitude of these organ- ization men toward public questions. It is not that they know or care any- thing about these gentlemen personally. That is not the ground of opposition, but they look upon them as represent- ing views not in the interest of the average man and woman and not in| harmony with the realities of the present situation.” Borah's vitriolic attack on the Old Guard members forecasts a warm bat- tle, too, among the Republicans in| the coming Congress. Representative Snell of New York, who has been Re- publican leader of the House for the | Jast four vears, returned to Washing- ton Friday, saying he thought Chair- man Fletcher was as good a man as| the Republicans could have had for | national chairman and that Fletcher ' had done as well as any one could | under the circumstances | McNary Early Critic, i Senator McNary of Oregon, Repub- lican leader of the Senate, has not vet come to Washington. However, it is recalled that when Fletcher was made chairman last Summer, McNary caustically commented upon his selec- tion and wished for a Western man Fletcher retorted that the fact he came from the East seemed immate- rial, in view of the fact that “the Re- publicans have such a great leader from the West in the Senate.” Sena- tor Steiwer, McNary's colleague, how- ever, is already here and has urged a reorganization of the party machinery. Unless Fletcher is willing to take himself out of the picture. it is going to be very difficult to wnhorse him and other regular Republican leaders. Probably that is the reason that Borah indicates he is willing to go to the length of “revolution” to bring this about. Text of Hilles Letter. The full text of the Hilles letter follows: “I have read the copy of your letter to Chairman Fletcher. With not enough money to pay his traveling expenses, he did - exceedingly well. He was starved to death. But he personally kept the faith and fought a good fight. He does intend to call a meeting of the Executive Commit- tee this Winter, but we should first get a pretty clear understanding of the meaning of the election—what common denominators can be ap- plied; what are the clearest analysis; upon’ what weak spots, and cures of weaknesses, and forward-looking poli cies can our minds meet? “In the election 53 votes were cast for Democratic candidates through- out the Nation and 47 votes for Re- publican candidates. Therefore those who predicate their prediction of the early extinction of the Republican party upon the election result are optimists. The vote was an expres- sion of confidence in President Roose- velt and not an approbation of all of his policies. If the Roosevelt policies satisfy a great body of Republicans then those Republicans should con- tinue to take the line of least resist- ance and support the Democratic candidates. They should not expect the rest of us to substitute diluted Rooseveltism for our present prin- ciples. The only useful purpose to be served at present by the Republican party as a political instrument is a resolute resistance to economic here- R | vacillate between two opinions; can- A—4 o ¢ THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The stability of our system of government | is due to the fact that if the politi- cal party which was momentarily | entrusted with power contravened the laws of good government—if it went seriously amiss or became perverse and unsound—the party in opposition would come to the rescue and thus correct what the people didn't like.

Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., regent of the School of Foreign Service, said that Mr. Salb had been secretary of the school for 12 years or more, almost since its founding. “In Mr. Salb’s death,” he said, “the school has lost a very devoted and loyal member of its personnel. He was a men in whom we placed the greatest confi- dence and was particularly well liked by the student body as well as by the | professors.” Mr. Salb had lived all his life in Washington and had attended the McKinley High School. He was prominent in the affairs of St. Anthony's Church, it was said, and at one time was a well known sand lot ball player. Officials of the school became alarmed at his continued absence and yesterday feared he might have met with violence outside of Washington. For this reason, it was said, they yes- terday asked the Department of Justice to search for him. | enlisted men. | year INCREASED FORCE FOR NAVY URGED IN SWANSON REPORT (Continued From First Page.) next fiscal year, the Navy has calcu- lated its needs at an average of 87,500 | For the current fiscal the average is around 81,500.

Of suggestions to combine the Army | and Navy air forces, Swanson said: “Experience in the Fleet during the | past year has again demonstrated con- clusively that aviation is an impor- tant, integral part of the Fleet. I believe firmly that under our present system our naval aviation is second to none in the world in efficiency, and I am strongly of the opinion that any radical changes, such as a united air service, would be a serious mis- take.” Gratified at Building. The past fiscal year, the Secretary asserted, was made notable by adop- tion of a definite policy, through the Vinson-Trammel act, to build the Navy to the strength allowed by in- ternational pacts. “In the present unsettled condition of the world affairs,” he declared, “it is gratifying to see the Navy being restored to a position commensurate with its responsibilities in the defense of the Nation. “While we may be willing to reduce our naval strength proportionately with other powers, it is my firm con- viction that the interests at stake jus- tify and require that our Navy be second to none.” LONDON SHOWDOWN DUE. Naval Conferees Head Toward De- cision This Week. LONDON, December 1 (7).—A final | showdown on the possibility of a new naval treaty to replace the 1922 Washington agreement is expected to come next week. While United States, Japanese and British delegations engaged in pre- liminary conversations here continued hopeful of ultimate compromise, there was little optimjsm apparent that the deadlock over Japan's insistence on naval parity could be broken unless one of the three made some new move. It was regarded as possible that | Japan's denunciation of the Wash- ington treaty, long expected, might be formally made next week. ‘The American representatives, Am- bassador at Large Norman H. Davis and Admiral Willam H. Standley, hoped to be home by Christmas, but it was said only some definite action soon would make their early departure | possible. The outlook for compromise ap- peared no brighter despite the Jap- anese delegation's newest overture for | an agreement on the basis of the British compromise suggestions, pre- viously rejected by Tokio. Several times during the past week | the delegations appeared to be headed toward an agreement, but each time the favorable outlook was darkened by the firm stand each took on its own principles—the Japanese, insist- | ence on equality; the Americans and British, insistence that the bases of the Washington treaty must be re- | tained.

BALTIMORE, December 1.—New | taxes will be required to compensate for the State Roads Commission’s deficit of $1,362,990, Gov.-elect Harry W.

C, tonight on his way to Maryland from a vacation in Florida, announced there that he would not abandon his $2 auto tag plan because of the situation that has developed in the Roads Commis- : sion, according to an Associated Press dispatch. He also reiterated his intention to investigate all State departments. Sees Charges Sustained. Regarding the shortage in the | Roads Commission, Nice said: “The recent strongly indicate that which I charged during the campaign—that | is to say, that the incoming adminis tration, by reason of undiscovered conditions, would be faced by the necessity of increasing the tax burden upon the people of Maryland, and the present proposal to find more than $1,000.000 additional revenue to take care of the situation that has | developed in the State Roads Com- mission is evidence of the fact. “What the situation will be after a thorough investigation cannot at this time be predicted.” Overdrafts of $726,081. A recent investigation showed the commission had only $4.630 on Sep- tember 30 with which to pay bills totaling $641,539.

Clark, chief of detectives at Denver, Colo., as one of the men who participated in the 1922 Denver Mint robbery, was one of the 10 men who mude the sensational escape from the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City in September, 1933. Clark’s freedom was short-lived, however, as he was recaptured at Hammond, Ind., three days after the break. He was returned to the State prison. Clark was one of five men who held up the Citizens' State Bank at Clin- ton, Ind., on December 16, 1930. The bandits were pursued by a hastily formed posse and finally were cor- nered in a field: near Sidell, Ill. Three of the hold-up men were killed and Clark and Walter Detrick captured. A deputy sheriff also was killed. Both men were given life sentences for bank robbery. Detrick also was a participant in the State Prison break, and he has been recaptured. At the time of the Clinton robbery it was reported that Clark had taken | part in the Denver Mint robbery. He was said by police to have operated under the name of “Oklahoma Jack” and to have been wanted in various parts of the country. The main body of the men who es- caped from the State Prison with Clark later became members of the Dillinger gang of outlaws. All but three have been recaptured or killed.

A most reliable source said the vet- erans, in closed session, expressed concern over the position of their leader, Franz Seldte, as minister of labor and dissatisfaction with the organization’s “degradation” in favor of the army and the Schutz Staffel, the Blackshirt picked Nazi Corps. Omitted by Chief. The Stahlhelm, composed largely of “front fighters,” in the past fre- quently has been praised by Reichs- i fuehrer Adolf Hitler as the equal of the Schutz Staffel or the Storm Troops in the Nazi movement, but recent months have seen it mentioned rarely. At the Nurnberg party congress, for example, Hitler omitted reference to this third of the triumvirate of Nazi Shock Troops while speaking in glow- ing terms of the other two. From the provinces also came re- ports of growing friction among the three groups. One report cited court action brought by a Stahlhelm man against e Storm Trooper after an automobile accident, and it was re- | garded as significant because such matters usually are settled in the organization’s own tribunal. Changes Discussed. Meanwhile meetings of Schutz Staffel leaders with Hitler during the past week gave rise to conjucture that major changes in that increasingly | powerful organization were planned.
