POLITICIANS SCRAMBLE TO
SHAKE HANI) OF F. D. R.
CHANDLER. FOE OF BARK LEY
JOINS IN BACKSLAIMMNG
CROWDS MISS HYPOCRISY,
CHEER EXECUTIVE
LOUISVILLE, Ky July 11. Some'
where westward, the politicians are
scrambling so hard to get close to
the Great Whlet Father that oniy
a merciful providence saves them
rrom breaking their necks. Here tne
Job-seekers have had time to catch
their breaths, frame the fragments
of presidential coat-tall torn off for
souvenirs, and compose tneir aigni-fled-
but homely countenances.
While they lasted, the scenes In
Kentucky and Ohio had to be seen
to be believed, and even then it was
hard to credit one's eyes, until one
remembered the practices of certain
savage tribes in the Gongo. These
untustructed heathen believe that
their high priests and . leaders are
walking dynamos of magical power,
charged aa with electricity, which
they can pass on to their followers
simply by touch. The politicians
hereabouts behaved Just that way
with the president, pushing to get
near him as though they thought
one of his handsakes would assure
them a permanent place on the peo
ple's payroll. ' " '"''.". '"'
Considering thai some- of these
gentry are distinctly hard political
eggs, the beginning of the presi
dent's campaign trip was a startling
testimonial to his continuing magic.
Amid the dust and heat and hero
worship and bellowing, It was hard
to remember the human realities of
the situation, but now that It is
passed, they are what Btand out. In
Ohio, It was first announced that
Governor Martin Davey would sternly
avoid the presidential presence. He
telegraphed his regrets, and declared
he would stay away.
As the president and Governor
Davey detest one another with an
equal heartiness, the governor's ab
sence would not have been surpris
ing to the simple mind. Some years
back they had a violent and searing
quarrel over the works progress ad
ministration, and since then they
have been on backslapplng but not
on speaking terms. That did not
deter the governor, however. As the
wonder-working presence drew near,
he could resist ho longer. He hast
ened to Marietta. He greeted the
president. Ha rode in the presi
dential car to the speaking engage
ment. He smiled. He bowed. He did
his best to make It seem that he
and the president loved one another
like brothers.
As for the brash Governor A. B.
"Happy" Chandler, of Kentucky his
case was even more entertaining.
He and the prestdent do not love
one another, to be sure, but there
Is more to ft than that. At the
moment, in his primary fight against
Senator Alben W. Barkley, Happy
Chandler Is trying to stick the
longest, sharpest kind of knife into
the heart of the New Deal's political
prestige. It is reported here that
he Is being backed heavily by the
president's bitterest enemies large
business men in both parties. He is
doing everything hts Inventive mind
can suggest to distress the White
House.
And he never even considered
staying away. He climbed on the
train. He grinned. He blandished.

Co!, Charles A. Lindbergh's time,
was delayed tonight on his globe
gird) tng flight by had weather
and slight damage to his big
twin-motored monoplane. He an
nounced that he would not take
off for Mosrow on te second
leg until tomorrow.
PARIS, July 11. (AP ) Howard
Hughes landed at Le Bourget airport
at 4:55 p, m. (10:55 a. m., E.S.T.),
on a trans-Atlantic flight from New
York, the first leg of a projected
round-the-world flight.
The airport's official control time
for the lauding was 3:55 p. m. Green
wich mean time (10:55 a. m.. E.S.T.).
figured from tie moment the pro
pellors stopped.
The American sportsman flier glid
ed to an easy landing, taxiing up a
concrete runway in front of the air
drome where a crowd of officials and
onlookers rushed to meet the big.
gleaming twin-motored plane.
His time from New York was 16
hours and 35 minutes less than half
of the time of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh who flew non-stop from New
York to Paris in 1027 In 3314 hours.
The American flag was run up on
Uie airdrome mast five minutes be
fore Hughes and his four-man crew
loomed over the field long before
they were expected.
Met By. Throng
The big plane rolled to a- gentle
stop In front of Le Bourget field's
main building, where United States
Ambassador William C. Bullitt head
ed a throng of French and Ameri
cans waiting to greet the airmen
Hughes, however, did not cut the
two motors for almost a full minute
after pulling to a stop Uie first
flier since Lindbergh to make the
flight.
As soon as the propellers stopped
whirring the ambassadors went to
the door of the plane and opened It.
He stuck his head in and shouted:
"Congratulations, did you have a
good trip?"
Hughes said he was planning to
take off for Russia "as quickly as
possible." '
And that means "one or two
hours," he added. v
Hughes was the first of his crew
to alight. He was evidently tired, but
had a broad grin on his' face. Before
coming out he had taken the trouble
to put on a necktie and place a hat
on his head.
The flight leader was followed by
the other four airmen.
"We had a fine trip," said Hughes.
"We made it in 16 -hours, 91 min
utes." Hughes evidently figured his elap
sed time from the moment the air
port was sighted, as other calcula
tions gave 16 hours, 35 minutes.
Frencu air officers stepped up to
pat Hughes on the back and touch
his hand.
Cheered By French
The five fliers, accompanied by the
ambassador, went to the airport com
mandant's office .after police succeed
ed In cutting a pathway through the
dense crowds wiilch were shouting:
"Vive les Americans I"
'Long live the Americana 1"
A special ground crew took the
plane In hand Immediately after
Hughes and his crew left it and be
gan to tune up the motors.
So quickly did the plane arrive at
the airport that everyone was caught
unawares. The first Inkling was when
the plane- hove out of Hie clouds to
descend quickly to the field.
Because the plane Is of the same
type as those used by a large com
mercial airline with a terminal here
many observers thought at first that
the plane was simply another air
liner from London.

FREIGHTER'S CAPTAIN
PLANS TO TAKE TURNS
AT FULL SPEED AHEAD
PORTLAND, Ore.. July 11. (AP)
The Charles L, Wheeler, Jr., the
3800 -ton coastwise carrier that
steamed across a mountain range to
become, the- 'first ocean, freighter, to
tie up at The Dalles' new half-million
dollar dock, may have more dif
ficulty getting down river than she
did up.
That was the opinion of some rivor
veterans wio thjnk that the fast
water Just above the Bridge of the
Gods, and just below the Bonneville
locks, will prove difficult for the
310-foot steamer.
At both points the freighter, eas
ily maneuvered in the wide open
spaces of the sea but awkward in tho
narrow waterways of the interior,
must make figure -8 turns.
She will be coming down with,
Instead of fighting up against, a
current estimated Saturday at 10
miles an hour as Cascade Rapids and
seven miles an hour below the dam.
When Captain Arthur Rlggs was
asked how he expected to negotiate
these two patches of white water
with a vessel loaded only with suf
ficient ballast to get her safely under
Hood River-White Salmon bridge, he
Is said to have replied: "Full speed
ahead."
He reasoned that the vessel will
answer her helm and keep her bow
straight ahead If she has full power
behind her. That may meant a speed
of close to 20 knots at either rapids,
which Is a .steaming pace for a

housewives and a bookkeeper. Tho
Jury reached a unanimous verdict
after deliberating 3o& hours..
Rosser was charged with complic

The convlotlon of Rosser, once top
man In the powerful AFL teamster

out the state as a signal victory In tha
fight against terrorism because Ros
ser was regarded the loftiest union -figure
caught In the drive.

lowed his arrest. He told poUca he
would "sing" and he did.
I Rosser, also under Indictment on
charges of bombing and sabotage In

fendant In the arson case when Al
N. Banks, Salem teamster officer who
confessed participation In the firing
of the plant, Implicated him.
Banks and other former teams tern
who confessed to the Job testified
against Rosser, a fact that caused
defense attorney, Vandeveer, to al
lude to "evidence In prison stripes."

uo Into Washington. Charges In
cluded arson, attempted bombing of
a coastwise lumber ship, bombing of
