FACES FIGHT ON REPORT
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. A political
ambition unique In history has been
discovered In the United States sen
ate a senator who actually wants to
be vice -president.
The man la George Berry of Ten
nessee. True, the voice of this desire has
been virtually drowned amid the buz
zing of presidential bees and only the
senator's closest friends have heard
It. But they are rure of their ears.

long, long time. Ho almost got the
nomination In 1924 missing by only
three votes. But almost wasn't
enough. As recorded In "Who's Who."
be refused to allow his name to be
resubmitted. The vice-presidency to
blm Isn't a matter of a mere stepping
stone. It'a a goal. He la by no means
Insistent that the number one man
on the ticket be a poor Insurance
risk.
It Is doubtful If the Tennesseau
baa even started to do any sounding
on the matter. But that doesn't
mean that he Isn't optimistic oyer
his, plana. His national political
climb has been pretty rapid and he
la geared, to the pace.
Major Berry missed one other nom
ination, but that waa becauso of a
combination of circumstances. He
wanted to run for commander of the
American Legion, which Isn't such a
bad gateway to national prominence,
but there waa something wrong In the
setup and he was advised against It,
although he had plenty of backing.
He found another royal road to
Washington, however the NRA. Then
long came labor's non-partisan
league. John Lewis and Sidney HtU
min agreed on him as the head of
this unique organization which did
so much to get the new deal Into Its
debt and then, according to Mr
Lewis, didn't receive payment.
Berry waa picked because it waa
felt that he would be acceptable to
both the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O.
Mr. Berry had served under the
KRA. and, when the blue eagle's
feathers were cleared away, ho
emerged with a title the length o"
which makes up for the brevity of
bis recent political career. He was
named by the president "federal co
ordinator for Industrial cooperation."
Then Senator Bachman of Tennes
aee died, end the major was appoint

The big nut and prune driers on
the mlllrace side of the huge plant
were badly wrecked by the Mace,
which waa the most spectacular In
many years. However, according to
Senator E. A. McGornack, manager of
the co-operative, most of the Lane
county filbert and nut pack bad
been ahlpped out to markets.
Spread of the flames waa checked
by throwing a complete girdle of
water on the packing aheds and Iso
lating them from the rest of the
plant.
Crowd In Peril
Two fire companlea work all night
and the mlllrace was nearly pumped
dry.
At one time three explosions rock
ed the plant and sent firemen and
spectatora scurrying. Miraculously,
big tanks of chlorine used In bleach
ing nuts did not explode. So dense
waa the crowd and so Ineffectual the
police control that the poison gas
might have caused serious loss of
life or Injury.
