WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. (
Senator Norria said today he did
not "suppose anybody seriously
thinks I will lead a third party
movement."
The Nebraska republican inde

luter in the day detailed comment
on the letter ho received from
John Dewey, of tho League for
Independent Political Action, sufr
geytlnp ho leave republican ranks
and form a third political party.
Dr. Dewey's proposal followed

and the hitter's efforts to read him
out of tho party.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26. (P)
Senator Georce W. Norris had an
invitation today from John Dewey,
chairman of the League for Inde
pendent Political Action, to bolt
the republicans and lead a third
political party.
In a letter to the senator from
Nebraska, Dewey, formerly pro
fessor of philosophy at Columbia
university, told him ho was not a
true republican as charged by
Robert H. Lucas, executive direc
tor of the republican national
committee, and that the time was
ripe for hia leadership of a now
political group.
Urges Now Allegiance
, "Jn light of your reqent experi
ence .with leaders of the republi
can party," Dr. Dewey wrote, "I
urge that you Hover forever your
connections with ' that ' political
machine and form with thoso of
us in the league and other groups
a new party to which you can give
your full allegiance."
Tho republican party stands for
"rugged" Individualism, Dr. Dewey
wrote, whereas Senator Norrls fa
vors social planning and social
control.
"These are antagonistic philo
sophies," he said. "The republican
party is a house divided against
Itself. You cannot put new wine
Into old bottles and we shall never
be able to put this new philosophy
of government into cither of the

Face Value of Compensation
Certificates Would Be
Given Under Legislation
Advocated By Garner
Cost Country Billion.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2G. (P)
The democratic leader of tho
house, ReproHentatlvo Garner of
Texas, today was championing
IcslHlatlon for payment to veterans
of the present value of their com
pensation certificates.
Ho advocated a plan giving the
veteran option to turn in Ills cer
tificate now und receive tho orig
inal settlement vuluc plus four
per cent interest, or to hold it to
maturity. . , '
It would cost about . fi billion
dollara, Garner contended, which
he said tho treasury could obtain
by borrowing at between one and
throo-fourtha and otio und seven
eighths per cent.
"I doubt," he Bald, "If tho
treasury ever ugutn will bo able to
secure money at such a low rate
for tho dischargo of. tills obliga
tion." The Texan advanced .his belief j
that not more tbun 6U per cent of
the veterans would present their
certificates at this time, but he ,
argued the release of the sum rep-
resented by this proportion would
contribute materially to restore
"the economic balance."
"A more propitious time for
payment of this debt to veterans
could not bo concolved," ho con
tended. "Mvery state, city pnd
hamlet would feel tho stimulating
effects.'
Other plans for paying off the
veterans' certificates have been
opposed by Kccrotary Mellon and
treasury officials, partly on tho
contention that V10 relief afforded
would be of A temporary naturo.

World's Best Known Flier

NRW YORK. Dec 2G. &
Aviation has come a long way
since a young fellow from Ml

The world's best known filer

of low wings and high wings; of
engines and fpeod and radio
topics that are the very breath
of life to him.
Ho suld this: '
"Wo havo had more progress
in the development of aircraft in
the la.st five years than could havo
been foreseen at that time.
"In 1925 a good cruising speed
was 90 miles an hour. Today wo
havo planes of the name class
with cruising speeds as high a
t-(0 miles nn hour. Tho air mail
He Havilands we used in had
a carrying capacity of about 400
poundK. planes today of tho same
horsepower cruise at leaet 20 miles
an hour faster and carry from
threo to four times that loud.

"Tho same -with tho business or
sport piano flown by tho ' non
professional pilot. it is moro
rtablc. It Is easier to operate; and
it is milch' simpler to loarn how
to fly one. Tho cost of operation
of a privately owned piano today -Is
only a fraction of tho coat of
a few years back.
"Tho small, private piano of 85
to - 100 'miles nn hour cruising
speed can- bo: operated- today at
practically tho samo cost as a
medlumpiicod nutumnhUe. , ,
For Oxamplo. hll'e tako a 100- '

$3000 to $ri0G0. You can get from
10 to- 15 miles on a gallon of; gas;
that's with -a pilot and two pas
sengers. .' After 300 or . 400 hours
which Is ubout 25,000 to 30,000
miles it will need an overhaul..
Afterwards ;lt . Is ready for an-,
other 300 pr 400 houn nnd tho
total life of a-good piano Is 3000
