CURTIS MAY BE CANDIDATE FOR SENATEJN 1932 Secretary of War Hurley Is Hinted as Candidate for Vice-President, t,nltod Prm Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 23,-When George McGill, the first Democrat Kansas has sent to the senate In years, comes up for re-election In 1932, he may find his opponent no ess formidable a person than VicePresident Charles Curtis. Curtis’ friends say he Is tired of the dignified but dull Job of presiding over the senate, and would like to step down from the rostrum, at the end of his term, to his seat on the floor. If this is Curtis’ wish It dovetails nicely vith rumors here that President Hoover would like to have his secretary of war, Patrick J. Hur-

ley of Oklahoma, as his running mate In 1932. It Is an open secret that neither Hoover nor Curtis was particularly well pleased at being linked together on the 1928 ticket. Curtis had hoped to be the nominee himself. Hoover had hoped to have Dawes, as his running mate. From the President s point of view, Hurley will lend all the political and georgraphlcal strength to the ticket that Curtis could give. He is a 'southwestemer. Bom in the Choctaw nation, Indian territory, he attended Indian university and later was national attorney for the Choctaw nation. He has a long military record, beginning as captain of cavalry in the Indian territory volunteer milita and continuing through the World war, where he was cited for gallantry in action. He is a member of the American Legion, and is prominent in Oklahoma Republican organizations and the state Bar Association. If Curtis runs for the senate, he probably will have little trouble in being elected. Kansas sent him to the senate from 1907 to 1928 with only a break of two years. Whether he would resume leadership of the Republican partv on the floor is more doubtful. Senate seniority is based on continuous service.

MIGHTY FLEET IN AIR, 1$ RAN OF MUSSOLINI First Step in Raid on Italy's Purse Was Atlantic Hop, Europe Thinks. BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer LONDON, Jan. 23.—-Europe is preparing to see Benito Mussolini make a vigorous onslaught on the Italian purse for the purpose of building up a mighty air fleet. That is the true meaning of the unprecedented flight of a squadron of ten Italian seaplanes from Africa to the shores of Brazil, led by the air minister himself, General Italo Balbo, and by the crack airman, Captain Maddalena. The whole Italian press ha;; sung a paean of praise. It Is recalled that 438 years ago that other Italian, Christopher Columbus, for the first time took a small fleet of three boats across the

Atlantic; other Italians did the same thing in aircraft. Only—and they accentuate this difference—Columbus performed his feat with Spanish ships and crews, whereas the more recent deed was done in Italian craft and with Italian crews. The ostensible purpose of the flight was to show the practicability of commercial flying between Africa and Brazil. All of which is mere eye-wash. One seaplane or two could have shown that. It was not necessary to demonstrate it with a fleet. The real purposes of the duce were two-fold: First—To warn various countries

—and Franco in particular—what might come to them if they monkeyed with the Italian buzz-saw. Second—To enthuse the Italian people to such a pitch that they would be willing to bear the financial burdens necessary to give Italy a mighty offensive and defensive air fleet. It is the logical outcome of what the duce has striven for since the beginning. Having restored order and peace and industry within the country, Mussolini next thought of making Italy so strong that none would think lightly of attacking her, and

would listen to her as a great power. He perfected his army and added to this the Fascist militia. He gave a great impulse to the navy and now has under construction cruisers which probably will be the fastest afloat. Veteran, 92, Dies By United Press DANVILLE, Ind., Jan. 23.
