INDORSEMENT BY NEGRO VANN AIDED KIDNAPING" PENNSYLVANIA BLACK VOTE SENATOR SAYS HE BACKS DEMO TICKET OF HIS FOES O. O. P. WIN tYOVI.D GIVE HIM CONTROL DELEGATION WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. The best political Joke In recent history was played on the president the other day by Robert L. Va n n . ed 1 tor of the powerful negro newspaper, the Pittsburgh Courier. The ebullient Venn visited the White House In great pompostensibly to persuade the president to establish a negro division of the army. And on the wsy out he used the White House steps, hitherto consecrated to the most New Dealish announcements, to Indorse the entire Republican ticket In Pennsylvania. The reporters of the Incident ne glected the richest Ingredient of Its comedy that Vann was the real originator of the Democratic party's celebrated capture of the northern Negro vote, and was rewarded with a fat place on the New Deal payroll, aa special assistant to the attorney general. It's an old tale, but one that bears retelling. It begins during the campaign of 1932. when the Hon. Joseph P. Guf fwy, then an out-at-elbows bosa -of an out-at-elbows Pennsylvania or ganization, wna Just starting on the road to glory. Joe Guffey'a chief lieutenant was his sister, the redoubtable Mrs. Emma. Guffey Miller. And Emma , Guffey Miller's manicurist was a leader of Negro society In Pittsburgh, the discreet and faithful Eva Deboe Jones. One day, while Eva Deboe Jones was putting the Miller cuticle In Its place, she looked up from her labor and said: "Mrs. Miller. Mr. Vann'd like to aee your brother." Mrs. Miller parsed on the message to her brother, who was at first In credulous, being unable to think of the Pennsylvania Negroes as any thing but Republicans. But Mrs. Miller insisted. and. as he usually does when she insists. Joe Guffey gave In. Vann came to see him by (Continued on Page Three ) Lake Grappled For Missing K. F. Hunter KLAMATH PALLS.

'S HORSE 3 LENGTHS AHEAD AT END OF DUEL Pimlico As 1 Throng Surprised to 4 Favorite Dis tanced in Record Time Old Argument Settled BALTIMORE, Nov. 1 . ( AP ) Sea Biscuit today defeated War Admiral by three lengths in their mile and three sixteenths race at Pimlico. Carrying the red and white silk of Charles 8. Howard of San Fran cisco. Sea Biscuit established a new track record by traveling the dis tance In 1 :56:3-5. one-fifth of a second faster than the previous mark established by Pompoon last spring. stride Tor stride Sea Biscuit outbroke the famous Man o' War colt from Samuel D. Riddle's stable, led him to midway of the backstretch. then matched stride for stride to the head of the home stretch, where he started to pull away. At the finish he was leaving the Admiral far behind. The result came as a decided sur prise to the crowd of 40.000 which parked Maryland's most famous track for the settlement of a year-old argu ment. The Admiral was the 1 to 4 favorite, while Sea Biscuit closed at 2 to 1. Getting under way from a walk- up start, the Biscuit, riaaen Dy George Woolf. took command at once and quickly lengthened nis advantage to a length and a half. The Admiral moved up In the back stretch and stuck his nose in front at the five-eighths pole but he never got any farther In front. Whip Falls Coming out of the back stretch Charley Kurtsinger went to the whip on the Admiral, but the Riddle colt didn't have the stuff. For the sec ond time In two years he was forced to eat the dust of another horse. Staging a great hand ride while Kurtsinger was plying hla whip. Woolf drove the Biscuit on to the surprisingly easy triumph. The Bis cuit's speed la shown In the frac tional times. He covered the first six furlongs In 1:11 4-5, and reeled off the mile In the almost Incred ible time of 1:36 4-6. In the mutuels Sea Biscuit paid 16.40. A total of $76,811 was wagered on the race first major match event In the past 14 years. While the $15,000 purse was a mere pittance compared with the prestige gained through victory. It ratted Sea Biscuit's total earnings for four years of racing to $340,480. and gave him second place on the list of money winning horses. The triumph was the Biscuit's 32nd In 84 starts and his 6th of the year in 11 trips to the post. OVER SEPTEMBER With permits Issued last month to uting $23,305.

(AP) Chairman Dies (D-, Tex.) said today the house committee on un-Ameri can activities may have to end its hearings soon because Its $25,000 expense fund is running low. Since President Roosevelt and members of hla administration have taken some verbal digs at the com mittee. Dies was none too hopeful of getting more cash after congress nu'eLs In January. The $25,000 would have gone farther, the chairman Indicated in a radio address last night, had gov ernment departments supplied law yers, Invent I gators, stenographers and clerks lu, accordance with the house resolution ordering tho Investigation. No Aid (ilven He said, however, appeals to the justice and labor departments, the WPA. and finally to the president, had brought no results. In fact, he added, Secretary Per kins and Secretary of the interior Ickes Joined "certain radical writers" tn a campaign "to discredit the com mittee by ridicule and misrepresen tation." When the secretary of the senate civil liberties committee offered aid in obtaining departmental personnel, Dies a&acrttxi, It was re l used for fear of "sabotage." By arrangement of the Democratic , national committee, Paul Y, Ander I son, Washington correspondent of the St, - Louis . Star-Times, followed Dies on the air. Anderson said he had seen some "sllp-hot" and "shockingly unfair" congressional In vestigations but declared none had approached the Dies committee's hearings In either of those respects. Ilelleve Fantastic Varus "Some of the most fantastlo yarns ever heard outside of an insane asylum," he added, "are gravely ac cepted by the committee without the faintest effort to discover whether the witnesses are credible or respon sible or whether they aro actuated by ulterior motives.'! Anderson said the committee used an "extraordinary presentation and manipulation of witnesses" for pol itical effect, regardless of "the dam age the truth suffers In the pro cess. Dies contended, on. the other hand, that every person or organization against whom charges were made In hearings had an Invitation to appear before the committee.
