Something really big Is happening here In New York and the tensely exciting Lch-man-Dcwey campaign la only part of It. It Is the battle between ' Repub lican standpatters and new men, who dare to suggest that their party should abandon the old Casablanca policy. In Pennsylvania, your correspond ents discovered the Republicans still sternly Imitating the chuckle-headed boy on the burning deck. Com manded by their big business back ers, they have not budged an Inch from their opposition to every Inno vation of these last years. In New York the Issue Is doubtful. But If the new men beat the standpatters here, a long step will have been taken toward a new kind of na tional Republican party, which might even break all recent precedents by winning an election or two. L At first glance, the whole bust I ness seems distinctly Improbable. The leader of the new men Is Ken aeth Simpson, boss of the New York city organization and national com mitteeman for the state. And Simp son Is not the sort of fellow usually seen In high Republican places. He Is youngish, energetic, and per sonable no relic of the dear dead days of Coolldge and Hoover. His private tastes are so various that he numbers Oertrude Stein and Kcrcnsky among his close friends. He has never been known to use the word "regimentation." speaks of tbe New Deal without bitterness, and rarely prophecies that "this spending can't go on." Strangest of all, he doea not proclaim himself a "man of principle." Indeed, he takes some pride In being Just the oppo site, for althoug he got bis start among the ank-stocklngs. he la now an Intensely practical politician.

Night All Aboard Escape After Forced Landing i MONTGOMERY, Ala., Oct. 10. i (AP) A new hero of the airways was acclaimed today, as a mass of I burned wreckage marked where Pilot 'Dave Hlssong. with flames lapping about him. brought 11 passengers and three crewmen safely to earth ; In his burning Eastern Airlines ; plane. With one vole of gratitude the i passengers testified, "he -caved us." The 14-passenger twin - motorea Houston to New York ship burst Into flames near midnight a few miles from Montgomery, and though his hands were seared, the fuselage burned and one motor dropped out, Hlssong stuck to the controls and put the craft down In a dark and strange field. Ship Oestroyed A moment after passengers alighted the -flames destroyed the ship. No one on board was hurt badly. Among the passengers was J. V. Connolly, general manager of Hearst newspapers, New York . and E. D. Rivera, Jr., son of Georgia's gov ernor. Eastern Airlines listed the others aboard as J. H. Sot ham. New York; J. H. Bonck, New Orleans: Z. Leben son, New York: J. T. Nix. New Or leans; D. Drucker, New York; R. B. Kahle, New York: Co-pilot C. R. Russell; Steward Frank Glbbs; W. O. Poote. Montgomery Eastern Air lines manager; F. T. Vonnegutt, New Orleans Eastern -Airlines city traffic manager and George Stewart, Atlanta. Connolly said "the heroism and fine work of the pilot simply were beyond description." Young Rivers said ''If It hadn't been for that pilot I wouldn't be here." Pilot Hlssong said a damaged pro peller probably caused vibration of a motor In a way to start the fire. Pilot Shares Credit He refused to take credit for any heroic act. stating that he had merely done what any other pilot would have done under the circum stances. "And I want it understood," he said, "that without the aid of Co pilot Russell and Steward Glbbs we could not have landed safely." Foote told a dramatic story of HIs- song'a heroism and effective perform ance aa a pilot. "We left the Montgomery field." he said, "about three minutes be fore the right engine got rough and in another minute it broke into flames. We were at an elevation of about 1400 feet. "Captain Hlssong cut the gas off from the motor. The captain at tempted to turn and had made about a half turn toward the air port when the right motor, appar ently eaten loose by the flames, fell out. Hlssong Jerked his left wing up to flying position. He headed for a clearing. "He could barely see with his andlng lights. He mushed the ship. The right wing was sheared off by a tree.' Steward Frank Olbbs walked through the aisle telling the pas sengers to see that their safety belta were tight. All were In their seats, properly strapped, when the plane touched earth. Then they 'rushed out. Pilot Hlssong and his co-pllot were helped from the control compart ment. Passengers and crew fled quickly beyond the heat of the burn ing ahlp. ; Six Die In Crash British Bombers LONDON. Oct. !.
