Neb., May 31—Six balloons were scattered over North America today, competing for distance honors in the national balloon race. The six big gas bags sailed off Sunday night in the teeth of a wind that, pilots called “suicide." The wind velocity was twenty-five miles an hour when the first balloon swayed crazily, tore down a barbed wire fence and then bounded over a clump of trees while its crew worked frantically, throwing ballast overboard. Out to Beat Record The pilots sought the Litchfieid trophy and the right to represent the United States in the international contests in Switzerland. The crews also were out to beat the present record for free flight. 961 miles. Conditions were bad when the balloons took off at starting time. The pilots held a conference and said it would be “suicide" to try to go aloft. But they received word from meteorologists that still worse weather could be expected if the race were delayed. The six balloons and their crews are: Chevrolet—Tracy Southwort and Jack Engle, both of Detroit. Army No. I—Captain W. J. Flood and Lieutenant Maynie McCormick. Army No. 2—Lieutenant Wilfred J. Paul and Lieutenant J. H. Bishop. Goodyear Zeppelin Corporation Vlll—Roland Trotter and Rank Blair, both of Detroit. City of Omaha—Eddie Hill. Detroit, and Roscoc Conklin, Omaha. Down on Island Omaha Junior Chamber of Commerce—Thorvald Larsen of Detroit, pilot, and his brother Harold, aide. The Junior Chamber of Commerce balloon was forced down on an island in the Missouri river near Ft. Calhoun, about fifteen miles from the starting point. Its crew reached the mainland today and notified race officials that the gas bag was injured when it struck a fence and scraped the tops of trees in trying to take off in a 25-mile shifting wind. The bag was ripped open and most of its gas had escaped when the eraft finally came to earth about an hour after taking off.

BORAH WANTS TO ‘SWAP’

Ready to Trade Voice for Dry Pledge

BY BAY TI CKER limn Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 31,-Wil-liam Edgar Borah will not form or join a third party to oppose the man hi* eloquence helped to place in the White House four years ago. The shaggy-maned senator from Idaho, knowing the value of his voice to a Republican President in the spaces west of the Mississippi, now is trying to swap it for a party 1 pledge against what he considers an unconstitutional approach to repeal the eighteenth amendment. That is all there is to the present dry drama in which Borah ocj cupies the limelight. The senator played the .same game in 1920. when it appeared that the Republicans might indorse a modified League of Nations in the platform. He threatened to organize a new party to “purify politics," and would not make a speech until he received pledges that Warren G. Harding and the United States would stay away from Geneva. Shaped Foreign Policy In that year this one senator from a remote, western state helped to shape the nation's policy on foreign affairs. Had It not been for him. the history of the last decade of international relations might have been written differently. Now his attitude may determine the future of the leading domestic j issue confronting the two major parties. The problem of prohibition I repeal may become a bi-partisan and non-political venture if his ideas are repudiated. But if the party surrenders to Borah, it may mean that the task of dry law reform will be entrusted to the Democrats alone. Therein lies the human interest in the controversy which finds Borah arrayed against the majority sentiment of the party bosses —one David against a gang of Goliaths. Holds Regulars at Bay As has so often happened before, the conspicuous rebel Is holding the regular warriors at bay, and making a mess of their plans, Borah s part in the next campaign has a personal as well as a political side. If he supports Hoover, it will give him a fifty-fifty average for six presidential battles. If he opposes Hoover or sulks in his tent, it will mean that he will have supported his party’s presidential candidates in only two of six campaigns. With the exception of the year when he indorsed Harding for reasons of state, it will give sharper point to his angry reply to critics of his irregularity. "Since Roosevelt left the White House,“ he retorts, ‘ there has been no Republican President I would co-operate with."

Helped Elect Hoover The senators present position is all the more exciting because of the important role he played in Hoover’s pre-convention and presidential campaigns. The two men’s friendship cooled after Hoover entered the White House. Borah has conducted a running feud with the administration.. He openly has denounced presidential policies on foreign affairs, tariffs, farm relief, water power, supreme court appointments, economic legislation and unemployed assistance. He has deplored Hoover's desertion of the Republican progressives. He has assailed the eastern politicians now’ in high favor at the White House. He has had a part in conversations, futile though they were, looking to a movement to prevent the President's renomination. So now the principal political query at the Capital is; Whither goes Borah?” Old Standbys Aloof All the old familiar figures who praised Hoover as the prophet of anew economic and political era in 1928 will be missing in the next presidential campaign, including illustrious conservatives as well as progressives. An entirely new group of spellbinders will take to the political trail on behalf of the President. representing the most reactionary elements of the party. Political observers predict that the administration’s cohorts in the west, where dissatisfaction is widespread, will be the weakest since Taft was defeated in 1912. Instead of Borah and Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who were Hoover's most effective campaigners against A1 Smith, the administration will depend on such men as Ogden L. Mills, secretary of t*-• treasury; Patrick J. Hurley, secretary of war. and Charles G. Dawes, president of the Reconstruc-

tion Finance Corporation. An effort will be made to enlist Calvin Coolidge, but it is doubtful if he will quit his quiet retreat at Beechwood Manor, Northampton. Hoover's 1928 prohibition champions will also hold their tongues, according to present reports. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. who sent the parsons to their pulpits, is reported at outs with the White House. It is understood that Bishop Cannon. who organized Southern Methodists against Smith, will stay in the background. His difficulties, in the opinion of administration advisers. make it inadvisable to lean too heavily on him. The “Sons of the Wild Jackass.” according to their present plans, will oppose Hoover or stay in their own backyards. Senators Nye <Rep., N. D.) and Brookhart <Rep., la.), who tramp>ed dusty farm districts for Hoover, are now hostile and facing opponents sponsored by the administration. Senators Norris (Rep., Neb.) will declare for Governor Roosevelt if the Democrats nominate him. as seems likely. The Wisconsin pair— La Follette and Blaine —have already shoyn their opposition to Hoover in primary contests. Two distinguished “Stepsons of the Wild Jackass”—Senators Johnson ißep., Cal.) and Couzens ißep., Mich.)—will not lift their voices for the President. They have been in general disagreement with the administration's major policies. Present indications are that Senator L. J. Dickinson fßep., la.) will be Hoover’s principal spokesman beyond the Mississippi.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MINERS' WAGE PARLEYS WILL BE REOPENED Hope Revived for Return of Thousand Indiana Men to Work. By United Peru TERRE HAUTE. Ind., May 31. A renewed effort to reach an agreement which would return more than a thousand union miners in Indiana to the pits will be made here Thursday. Abe Vales, president of district No. 11, United Mine Workers of America, revealed today. Vales would not disclose what new element of hope led him and Harvey Cartwright, secretary of the Indiana Coal Operators’ Association, to decide to meet again Cartwright was not in the city, and was reported to be railing upon operators to discuss the new development. Operators and miners have made several attempts, one at the insistence of Governor Harry G. Leslie, to reach an agreement since the old basic wage scale of $6.10 a day expired last March 31, but no hopeful news has come from their conferences. Most of the coal surplus on hand when the strike became effective has been consumed, with only a few of the nonunion Indiana mines in operation, together with a scattering of pits where the old wage scale is being continued by special agreement.
