WASHINGTON. March 8. The de
moralization of Republican Senator
Fess was a put-up Job by a group of
old Democratic meanlea.
They deliberately led blm on to
attack the administration and then
dropped a prepared sandbag on his
head, leaving him figuratively and
politically cut and bleeding, while
they all had a good hearty laugh.
The plot started when Democratic
Floor Leader Robinson decided to re
lease his pent-up enthusiasm for the
New Deal in a speech commemorat
ing Its first? anniversary. He delib
v erately couched portions of the speech
t so as to arouse one or two Repub
lican senators the Indiana Robin
son or Fess.
Also it was prearranged that when
either' Robinson or Fcss responded,
the prepared sandbag should be re
leased by the Democratic sub-leader.
Jim Byrnes.
Sandbag
It worked almost perfectly. Arthur
Robinson failed to bite at the bait,
but as soon as the Democratic leader
had concluded, out popped Fess of
Ohio. He la somewhat too thin to be
a cherub, but otherwise he Is an
gelic. He hit at the administration
-with innocent enthusiasm.
His argument was sound In spots,
but the Democrats were not content
to let him go his own way. Under
their plan they asked him questions
leading him on and on. until they
finally drew from the Oh loan a state
ment, that the New Deal had accom
plished nothing whatever.
Byrnes jumped up and drew from
his pocket a mass of clippings of
Ohio newspaper.
From Cleveland. Akron, Youngs
town, Canton, Toledo, Dayton, etc.,
,he read praises of the New Deal poll-
cles Fess had Just been denouncing.
They filled eleven columns of the
Congressional Record, twice, as much
6pactf as the Fess speech.
Byrnes had similar clippings from
Indiana newspapers td use If the In
diana senator had attempted to say
anything.
Ammunition
The Republican senators do not
know it yet, but the Democrats have
a complete newspaper system of re
plying to Republican attacks. They
not only keep the Ohio and Indiana
papers clipped up to date, but also
papers from other Republican states.
The large press clipping service In
stituted by Louis Howe does the
work. They have enough clippings
praising the New Deal accomplish
ments to fill the Congressional Rec
ord every day.
Rule
The very day that Fess stuck out
jhls head, Mr. Roosevelt outlined the
new rule for criticising the adminis
tration. He said In effect that criti
cising was legitimate only when ac
companied by a better alternative
proposal.
Some of his liberal friends thought
' he went too far In laying down that
rule. Several men close to him said
privately that It was the only thing
they objected to In bis entire NRA
speech. It may mean that all critics
will have to carry lilies to show their
good faith hereafter.
The truth seems to be that the
administration officials resent crti
clsm only when It comes from the
conservatives. All the criticism late
ly from the liberals has gone un
noticed and unanswered.
Priority
General Johnson's letter writers
are always getting him In trouble.
The latest Inner commotion was
caused by a smart NRAER who wrote
a letter to the National Rifle asso
ciation. He stated In a very annoyed
way that If the association did not
stop using the NRA Initials and an
racle on Its stationery General John
son would get out an injunction
against It.
In reply he received a letter from
y the National Rifle association aasert
irc that It had been Incorporated
in 1 878. Since that time It had used
the NRA initials on its stationery
and also an eagle, although not a
blue eagle.
Tn effect It stated:
"If you do not sue us, we will not
sue you."
Slock
Everyone knows the Democratic
senate leader would not have made
that announcement about the un
certainty of stock market legislation
without first getting approval from
htcher up.
Vet that does not mean the Iffclsla
tion Is dead.
The announcement seems to have
been a trial balloon. If the reaction
allows sufficient demand for the leg
islation, it will be rushed through.
If not. nature will be permitted to
take her rour.
The chances still favor passage of
a strongly modified bill.

Vice-President United Air
. craft Gives Startling Testi
mony Before Committee
New Mail Plan Eyed
WASHINGTON, March 8. (AP
Paul Henderson, vice president of
United Aircraft and Transport corpor
ation testified before the senate air
mail Investigating committee today
that he had loaned 10.000 In 1930
to Chase C. Gove, deputy second as
sistant postmaster general under W.
Irving Glover.
Henderson previously had termed .
j posal for return of the airmail to prl
fvate carriers under new terms.
I Notes Destroyed J
Henderson said In the last year or I
two he had destroyed the notes eyi-
denclng the loans? totalling 910.000.
Gove, he said, was a close personal
friend of long standing.
"He told me he had been gambling
in the stock market with all the
money he had in the world," Hender
son explained.
Meanwhile, the New York curb ex
change agreed to furnish the senate
banking committee a list of sellers of
air company stocks prior to cancella
tion of the airmail contracts, and
Chairman McKellar of the senate post
office committee told newsmen pri
vate aviation companies whose mall
contracts were cancelled would have
to undergo a thorough housecleanlng
If they expected to receive any con
tracts under President Roosevelt's
program.
New Plan Takes Time
Asked about the feasibility of a six
months' qualification period for mall
bidders, as proposed by the president,
Henderson asserted at least a year
would be required to build up a
smooth-running organization.
"Even at that, men would have to
be employed from old companies."
"Illustrating his contention avia
tion companies must plan over a long
period, Henderson said a United sub
sidiary had developed two planes bet
ter thaa any now used by the system,
but that about 26 years would be
required to get them Into service.
The postofflce department mean
while pushed an Investigation to de
termine whether airmail carrying
companies had been overpaid.
Karl Crowley, department solicitor,
said final payment bad not been
made to any companies whose con
tracts were cancelled. ,
Contracts Far Off
Contracts are not expected by capl
tol authorities to be let for several
months, although some said It was
the administration's desire to shorten
as far as possible the army emergency
airmail service.
"If any company whose contract
was cancelled keeps Its present offi
cers and affiliates. It won't fare so
well," McKellar asserted, "but if they
reorganize with new officers and
without their affiliates and Interlock
ing directorates they will be permit
ted to bid like all other companies.
"If they want to stay In the pic
ture they must conform to the law."

Hitlerites Guilty of All
Sins in Book Is Verdict
In New York Mock Trial
20,000 Shout Approval as Verdict Read
Score of Notables Testify
In Effort to Aid. Jews
By HA IF. HARRISON
NEW YORK, March 8. (AP) Hltlerlsm has had its hour in "court," ana
the verdict of a 20,000-person Jury la:
"Guilty.-
Twenty witnesses testified last night In "the case of civilization against
Hi tier ism" at a Madison Square Garden rally, and their testimony was a
bolstering denunciation of nazllsm and Hltlerlsm.
At the end, the "verdict," read by i
Senator Millard E. Tydlngs of Mary-
land and loudly cheered by the crowd I
that packed the garden, was: j
"We declare that the Hitler govern- ;
ment is compelling the German peo
ple to turn back from civilization to
an antiquated and barbarous despot
ism, which menaces the progress or
mankind toward peace and freedom,
and Is a present threat against civil
ized life throughout the world."
It was not, in a true sense, a trial,
for the defense was not represented.
The rally functioned more as a grand
Jury, the audience listening to a
score of speakers ("witnesses"), in
cluding Senator Tydlngs, Mayor La
Guardla, Alfred E. Smith, and others,
with Samuel Seabury, scourge of po
litical evil In his home city, sum
ming up the case "for civilization."
Sponsors of the rally, one purpose
of which was to raise funds for relief
of Jews driven from Germany, ex
plained that the absence of a defense
for Hltlerlsm was due to the failure
of the German ambassador, Hans Lu
ther, to acknowledge their Invitation
to address the meeting.
A point that most speakers stressed
was that the indictment was against
Adolf Hitler and Hltlerlsm, aid not
against the German people.
Seabury, who is generally accepted
as the man, more than -any other,
who drove Tammany hall from poli
tical power in New York and brought
