Feb. 21. - (U.R) — : Secretary of Commerce Harry L Hopkins' first formal appearance as conciliator between business , and the new deal became enibar- , rassingly involved today with 1940 presidential politics. Hopkins left last night for Grinnell. la., to remain three days be- j for. delivering hi Des Moines his widely publicized first address as , the representative of business around the Roosevelt cabinet table. ; His departure was preceded by dispatches from Des Moines that Democratic state chairman Ed H Birmingham has undertaken to align 1940 Democratic national ; convention delegates for Hopkins.' He did not comment on that unexpected development. Tlie lowa boom for Hopkins got ' a chilly reception here. Old line Democrats, battling now with i President Roosevelt for control of next year's convention, generally concede Hopkins' administrative ability but they do not want him as their 1940 presidential candidate. There have been some indications. however, that Mr. Roosevelt might like Hopkins to succeed to the White House, provided. of course, there is no third term. With emergence of the Hopkins : boom —with or without his sane-; tion lowa comes up with two new dealers either of whom probably would be acceptable to Mr. Roosevelt next year but against whom J Postmaster General James A. Farley and a powerful bloc of < onservative Democrats would raise every available obstacle. The other lowan is Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace Wallace and lowa are almost synonymous. Hopkins also is a tall corn boy. reared in Sioux City and educated at ' Grinnell college, where he will renew old ac quaintances this week. i But he has been away from the | home town a long time. Hopkins began reestablishing himself as an lowan last year after long absence in social work in I New York. He and James Roosevelt, then one of his father's While House secretariat, intervened in the lowa primary against Sen Guy M Gillette. D. la. It was the administration's first attempt to defeat selected Democrats who had opposed new deal legislation. Gillette was easily renominated and was reelected. 0 REPUBLICANS TO (<’ontinit:d from page one) veiled at any time by the county cliairman or upon written notice signed by not less titan one-halt of the members of such committee.’ The same rule further slates that "when meetings are called hy members of the committee, at least three days notice in writing signed j by each member joining in the. call, I shall be given in advance of the meeting, to every member not join i:ig in the call, and such notice shall likewise state the purpose for which the meeting is being valid. ’ Trade In A Good Town. — Uecat«r

ONE KILLED AS PLANES CRASH Seven Planes Down In Fog, One Killed, One Missing Pensacola, Fla, Feb. 21 —<U.R>— A flight of 12 navy pursuit planes circled for five hours last night, vainly waiting for a "hole" in a pea soup fog to come in for a landing at the Pensacola naval training station When their gasoline was exhausted, seven planes crashed. One pilot was killed and another was missing. Lieut. G. F. Presa of the Brazilian navy, “courtesy student" at the training station under the "good neighbor" policy, was killed Cadet N. M. Ostergren, pilot ol another of the training ships, was missing and it was believed his plane was down in Pensacola laty. Five single-seaters landed without mishap over a wide area in northwest Florida and southeast Alabama. Presa died when his plane crashed and burned near Corry Field here. He and Ostergren apparently stayed with their ships, in an attempt to land blindly in the dense banks of fog With the exception of Presa and Ostergren, pilots of the seven planes which crashed abandoned their ships and parachuted safely to land. Four of the seven planes which crashed were Going F4-B4 fighters Three were MJ-two-seated instruction planes. The flight of a dozen planes, with advanced student fliers at their controls, took off just after dusk for night training maneuvers. Shortly after they had leveled off and separated into three flights of four ships each, the fog came in. Officers in charge of the flight ordered it back to Corry Field. But when tlie plains arrived ; over their home field in the dark 1 ness. the fog liad closed in. Vision was at zero. The flight command, fearful that the planes would collide in the darkness and fog. gave the order for the planes to disperse to await a “hole" through winch they could dive in ■ for a landing. Widely separated, the planes | droned over northwest Florida, waiting for the fog to clear. Then, at about 10:30 p tn. their gasoi line supplies began to dwindle, i The fog was growing thicker, and i there appeared no hope for a visI ual lauding. The pilots, isolated with their I i- strument* in the fog. were “on j their own." As their motors began to sputter with the last drop lof gasoline, the youthful pilots I began to “bail out.” SOLONS CLASH (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) . ir al. defenses?” he asked. Sen. H. Styles Bridges, R., N.H in another radio address, attacked the administration’s defense pro ' gram and charged that the presi dent “has brought us close to the brink of war." He accused the administration of "mislaying" the traditional policy of peace and said the rei establishment of this ideal "is the crying need of the genera- ! tion.” "Our manifest destiny is to keep unspoiled the best example in our civilization of a democracy that works free from rhe plots, plans and diseases of European policies That destiny can best be met by formulating a foreign pol icy based upon the processes of peace and sticking to it." Pittman's speech was one of the most bitter attacks he has yet made against distatorships. Last mouth he precipitated angry ediI torial comment abroad by announcing that the American people “don't like the governments of Germany. Italy and Japan.” Last night he denounced the policy of "appeasement and surrender" adopted by Great Britain and Fiance at Munich are not only "unsuccessful and ultimately destructive" but also as "immoral ’’ - o— SERIOUS RIOTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONI.i boys.

Just as the meeting inside was starting a loud speaker began blaring an anti-nazi speech from the sc, olid floor of a rooming house. Policemen rushed there and found the room empty, the voice coming from a record playing device that had been set. off by a time clock The next incident inside the hall was the ejection of Dorothy Thompson, newspaper columnist ami wife of Sinclair Lewis, who wrote the novel. "It Can't Happen Here." Storm troopers complained that Miss Thompson had laughed during one of the speeches. Policemen escorted Miss Thompson outside, but readmitted here in a few minutes when they learned she had come to report the meeting. "We came hero because it was a public meeting," she explained "At such meetings one may react as one chooses. So we laugh'd. I laughed because those nazis were exercising the free speech which one day they would deny everyone.” Miss Thompson continued to laugh at the speakers.
