Sweeping political changes in

breaking away from democratic
ranks to form a new "liberal"
party, were . foreseen . today by
Senator Edward R. Burke, anti

Burke, who figured "in a last
minute -clash ; on the senate floor
with new dealers, returned to his
home here to. predict: "conserva
tive" democrats and., republicans
would unite after - the national
conventions, leaving the president
to head a new group. A
"I think," Burke said in an
interview, "that the president has
done a great service in seeking to
bring '.about., such a realignment.
The present labels 'democrat' and
'republican' are an offense to the
Intelligence of" the, electorate.:
They mean nothing." - .v t '

Disclosing this today, a depart
ment official indicated also that

to be responsible solely to Hop
kins. Is to be divided into two
sections: guidance of administra
tion policy and research work on

of the ship's two motors appeared
to have stalled and the left wing
drooped.
The pilot. Second Lieutenant
Homer M. Mackay, apparently in
an effort to straighten the plane,
started gliding toward the waters
of Back river, only a short dis
tance away. The plane, however,
went Into a dive and crashed 50
feet from the water's edge, the
wreckage bursting almost immedi

throughout Europe reflected
growing tension In the interna- -tional
situation yesterday (Fri

of troops were called to the colors'
for fall maneuvers in Yugoslavia,
Rumania and Italy.

where the German and Italian
foreign ministers, Joachim Von
Ribbentrop and Count Galeazso
Ciano, opened a three-day , con
ference on the international situation.
Informed quarters said the

don. Count Edward Racxynskl,
called at the British foreign office
for the second consecutive day
to discuss the Dansig situation.

reached the stage where further .
clarification was necessary.
