WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. Senator
Vandenberg, Republican of Michigan,
bas discovered a "paramount Issue"
now germinating In America, which
he believes may well become the slo
gan to carry the Republicans to vic
tory in 1940.
It isn't new, but It's tried and true,
It set one candidate, Calvin Cool
ldge, on the road to the Whle House,
Just three words:
. "Law and order."
Sitting on one of the massive red
leather divans in -the president's
room at the capltol, the Michigan
senator looked down the road toward
the next electlngs and spoke Inti
mately and earnestly of the political
hazards that line the way.
"Great sections of the country
today" he explained, "are plagued
with outbreaks of violence and law
lessness. Already this affliction Is
creating a reaction which dominates
towns, cities and whole states. As
soon as this feeling permeates the
intimate consciousness of the people,
the paramount Issue will become
law and order."
Behind this fundamental develop
ment will be specific, generating
causes, according to the senator.
"If 1940 were a hundred years
away," he declared, "it couldn't be
more remote. But I can tell you
this, between now and then America
faces three years of vivid crises: In
flation In the field of public credit.
Inflation in the cost of living, the
uncertainty of unbalanced budgets."
Incidentally, Senator Vandenberg
knows more about depressions than
many people. He licked one deliver
ing papers at the ago of nine. -
If it hadn't been for that panlo of
US he might have been tanning
leather or profiting from the busi
ness Instead of tanning Democratic
hides in the senate. But he probably
would have been Republican anyhow,
even if he had continued in his
father's harness business, for Grand
father Vandenberg was a delegate to
the convention which nominated
Abraham Lincoln.
In Grand Rapids, In 1884, young
Arthur was born In the family of a
prosperous manufacturer. The first
nine years of his life were not the
hardest. But the tenth was a differ
ent story, for the father's business
was swept away in that relatively
speaking squall which preceded the
fat years that came in he gay Ws.
Out of school and then into Jour
Ballsm for young Vandenberg. He
moved up by atages to be an edi
tor, which profession he followed for
more than 20 years.
Becoming active in politics, he de
elded to ry for the senate. He has
been a member of this body since
1036.
Holding his senate seat through
Democratic landslides, the Michigan
eolon has become an Important fac
tor In G. O. P. policies. He believes
that the party has a Job to do tomor
row and Is doing an important one
now. Republicans were accused of
doing nothing constructive during
the last five years. That set the
senator off. He turned on the divan
and set his Jaw. He spoke emphati
cally, but In no rhetorical periods.
"It Is constructive," he said, "to
guarantee the civil liberties and pro
perty rights of all he people, to
battle for the protection of public
credit and balanced budgets.
"It Is constructive to provide a de-
our when the highway along which
the nation Is carried leads to dis
aster." Then, pausing for a moment to
drive his point home, he pronounced
with conviction:
"There Is a need of liberal leader
ship in this country today. When I
say this, I define a liberal as a fun
damentalist who declines to be static.
"Seventy-five per cent of the peo
ple wish to go neither to the right
nor to the left. They want to wave,
the middle of the road, the path of
national compromise.
"I am a m iddle -ol-the-reader. "
This Is the way the majority of
the nation wishes Its lenders to take.
Mr. Vandenberg believes.
"The campaign of 1940 will be no
evnthetlc affair." the senate Repub
Ilcan asserted. "It will be based
upon a dreadful realism the Issues
will defy trimming."
On the subject of new parties and
party splits, he refused to prophecy.
However, he did say:
"Time and events may produce
realistic realignment of parties by
1940, for like thinkers wUl Join to
gether then as they Joined forces
over the question of reorganizing the
supreme court."
That controversy, the Michigan
senator believes, was symbolic of the
situation, political and economic of
today, perhaps prophetic of the situ
ation tTto-row.

Russian agents here, wirelessed t
noon (3 p. m., PST), were returning
from a fruitless but farflung dash
into the Arctic to hunt the Russian
transpolar plane and its crew of six
after signal corpsmen at Anchorage
intercepted a message Indicating the
men were safe.
Joe Crosson, chief pilot for the
Pacific-Alaska Airways, wirelessed he
found no trace of the missing plane.
after crossing the forbidding Endi-
cott mountain range and searcblng
a long Ice-packed atrip of coastline
from Fl socman Island, on the 146th
meridian. He covered a vast range
of Arctic Alaska wilderness, flying
more than 300 miles an hour and
returning non-stop as there are no
suitable landing places in the bar

Russia Acts
MOSCOW, Aug. 14. (AP) Soviet
Russia launched a widespread
search tonight for Slglsmund Levan-
effsky and his five companions who
were believed forced down on an
Arctic Ice floe on a trans-polar
flight from Moscow to Alaska and
the United States.
Three crack Arctic filers were be
lieved enroute already from Moscow
to Rudolf Island, 560 miles from
the pole, to comb the Arctic wastes
for their countrymen while other
filers and two ice breakers , were
ordered to Join the search.
The Soviet party er camped on a
floe Hrl ftlng in the vicinity of the
North pole vr arrtnd to convert
Its station Into an air base for the
search planes.
Levaneffeky, Russia's 'Lindbergh,"
left Moscow at 1:18 a. m. (PS.T.
Friday, for Fairbanks, Alaska, as the
first stop on a proposed flight to
the United States.
Oil Fine Falls
A message at 9:33 a. m, P.S.T).,
Friday after the pole was passed
said a damaged oil pipe had stopped
one of the plane's four engines.
In the last message from him re
ceived st Moscow, at 1 :53 p. m.,
Friday, he asked If his transmission
was audible but signals were so
weak his position could not be
learned.
(Part of a message Intercepted
from the plane by the U. S. army
signal corps station in Anchorage,
Alaska, at 6:4 a. m. (P.8.T.) Sat
urday said "No bearings . . having
trouble with . . . wave band)."
The flight committee here tonight
announced It was believed the air
men bad landed on an ice floe.
Pointing out that only fragments
of messages had been picked up
since 11:83 p. m. (P.S.T.) Thursday,
the committee said:
"From them It can be concluded
that the plane flew some time
longer. It is supposed that a coating
of Ice forced the plane down on
the ice. Polar region lee conditions
were comparatively favorable for
such a landing.
Radio Weak
"Several stations have heard Lev
aneffyky's radio but the broadcast
was very weak and nothing definite
was picked ip.
The giant, trans-polar plane car
ried food to last the crew for a
month and one-half. It also had
sleeping bags and s tent.
The flight committee announced
extensive plans for the search for
the missing fliers.
The three pilots believed already

objections Monday and recommend
that the senate approve President
Roosevelt's nomination fit the liberal
Alabama senator.
A check-up of the Judiciary com
mittee members disclosed a line-up
of ten to three for the Alabaman;
with four senators still publicly un
committed. Members of the committee said the
telegraphed protests outnumbered the
approvals of the nomination. Chair
man Ashurst (D.-Arlz.) made public
a file of communications, all of which
were against Black except those from
labor organizations.
Late In the day, Senator Bridges
(R.-N. H.), publicly committed
against Black's nomination, rose In
the senate to demand public hearings
on the nomination.
Before he could get the floor, a
quorum was called and because an
