U. S, SHOWING HATE FOR WAR, I TEXAN CLAIMS People Overwhelming for Peace, Says Maverick in Letter. BV ROBERT \V. HORTON T!ne Writer WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. The "grassroots” ar* demanding that America steer clear of war. according to Rep. Maury Maverick <D. Tex >. I never saw. in all mv life, such a real, honest, throbbing demonstration of hate against war. and that's no bunk." Rep Maverick said in a letter received by a friend here today. He was referring to a Denver reunion of his World War regiment, at which he spoke. The Texas congressman w'as a leader in the House fight last session for a comprehensive and mandatory neutrality law. He is preparing to renew his fight in January. Describing the parade of his old outfit at Denver, Maverick wrote: The V. F. W. had a float indicating graves and dead men in the most horrible scene I ever saw. If that tyid happened five years ago and had been engineered by a ‘pacifist’ the veterans would probably have wrecked the thing. Impassioned Pacifists "On the same day, throughout the schools of Denver, commanders of the American Legion made impa honed speeches against war.” During the fall. Maverick has traveled throughout the West, carrying to the people his fight for a broad neutrality program. Hp said he w -s amazed by the response. "The American people,” he wrote, "are absolutely and overwhemingly for neutrality. There is not any question about that whatsoever. With a few negligible exceptions, all members of Congress are conscientiously for It. . .1 found this out by talking to most of the Congressmen and by a heavy correspondence. "I also traveled through most of thp Southern states and found the situation to he the same. It, w'as also true in New' Mexico and it is trup all over Texas. I live in the greatest military district on earth. We have here the largest barracks, and the greatest training fields in the world. In addition to this, w'e have the aeromechanical department. (Duncan Field); Kelly Field, a senior training unit; Randolph Field, the West Point of the Air;’ Brooks Field, a tactical unit, and other air units. Lose Support When I made my original announcement, concerning neutrality, and made my talk against generals and admirals, some of my advisers told me I was going too strong for a military district, that I would lose support, and so on. "However, I was promptly surprised by the attitude of the people j of my district. They overwhelmingly approve of that action, and this, the greatest military district | in the world, is overwhelmingly in 1 favor of neutrality and overwhelm- j ingly opposed to w'ar. ' I believe that this city (San An- ; tonio) would be whiling lo lose its | entire military personnel and all its military property rather than go through any such pastime as war. “Moreover, having been a soldier. I have talked to a great many officers, both low-ranking and highranking. and they haven’t got wdiat, the Europeans had before the war. or what, w'e kids had when we w'ent to war, that is ‘the military spirit'." Maverick sees a hard fight ahead in Congress over broadening the neutrality act. No Co-operation Given I suspect," lip wrote, "that, the Administration and the State Department will give Congress no cooperation in attempting to put over absolute neutrality, or neutrality in any form. The State Department played a trick on us last year. If you will take up the Neutrality Law as passed, you will note that it is mandatory as to the two 1 original belligerents, but the President may increase it from then on. "In other words, it is in such shape that it Is mandatory as far as Italy and Ethiopia are concerned. but, when England gets into it. if she does, he may or may not do it. "I think that the State Department and the Administration will ; not only not co-operate, but that 1 they will work actively against neutrality legislation "Our Statp Department has the attitude of a European foreign offire. of having a sort of monopoly on deciding what we shall do with foreign nations. Congress overwhelmingly disapproved of that." TWO TROUP 60 SCOUTS REGISTER FOR CAMP Mid-Winter FVrind to Accommodate 50 From Dec. “IS to 29.

OUR mail-flying friend, Charley Meyers, if you rempmber. is flying all ovpr thp South trying to find a place to land in a dense fog. He has been receiving radio instructions, ordering him from place to place, and when last heard from he was over Rale.gh, N. C. Now let's join him. From Raleigh. Charley was told to go on to Charleston, and he accordingly turned his compass needle in that direction—although with little hope that it would do him any good. But just then—all of a sudden—he broke out of the fog, and it was just like passing through a wall. Ahead was clear visibility and above w’as a bright moon. He could even see the beacon at Charleston Airport flashing its friendly welcome of white and green—the green, great to his joy, denoting that the field had night landing equipment. Humming a little tune to himself, Charley Meyers headed for the airport—and just within about 18 miles of the field his gasoline ran out! The tune on his lips died a dismal death. As he put, his plane in as flat a glide as possible, for he hadn't much altitude, he dropped a flare and popped his head overboard to see what was below. And when this light penetrated the darkness below, he saw nothing but a black and uninviting swamp, a horrible place.

His first thought was to jump with his parachute but then he decided to stay with the ship and try to make some sort of a landing. Well—he landed all right, doing a swell job of pancaking in. with the plane finally coming to rest by turning up on its nose and burying itse.f in the mud. He sat there the remainder of the night . . . and it was an amusing thing . . . having nothing to do, he got out some paper and pencil and with the aid of his hand lamp drew funny picture of his own plane and himself hanging up on the tail for dear life, with wild ducks flying by, laughing at him. He w'as rescued the next morning by some duck hunters in a rowboat. QUESTION —Is a medical examination required before learning to fly? Yes. you must, submit to a strict examination. The fee is $lO.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BOSSY GILLIS WILL CUT TAX. HE PROCLAIMS I’m No Clown, He Says, in Article He Writes Himself. Andrew .1. lßoirl Oilliw. fiery ev'ailnr whose loaqaarinu* regime made him a national figure during hi' two term' a* mayor of Xewburyport, Mas'., from 192 R to 1032. ha' been elected to a third term. In the following dispatch, written for the (nited Pres. Oilli' tell' mo'ttv about himself and what he intend* to do when he take* offiee in January. BY BOSSY GILLFS NEWBURYPORT. Mass.. Dec. 6. —Well. I’m back in the driver’s seat, again, but it's not going to be any picnic this time. It wasn't much of a picnic last time, either. The newspapers printed a lot of bolony about me. I was misquoted to look ridiculous and they tried to make me out a clown. That w'as all right by me then. Everybody knows Bossy Gillis, don’t, they? And didn't I put New’ouryport on the map?” But Bossy's no clown. Don't let anybody kid you. The people of Newburvport know' I'm not a clown, else they wouldn't have elected me to a third term. They know I was telling the truth. That's why they elected me. The people of Newburyport know that I'm the man to reduce the taxes. The tax rate now- is $43.60. When I w'as mayor it w'as only 32 bucks. The welfare situation has been pretty damn tough. And I’m the man to correct that too. “I’m No Miracle Man" The man who pays the taxes is the one I’ll look out for. And I'm going to do my best to bring industrial life back to Newburyport. Now' about this welfare business. There are a lot of worthy people out of jobs. If they’ll bear with me, I'll try my best to pull them out of the hole. I'm no miracle man. but for those that want, to work. I’m going to advocate work projects—new streets, sew'ers, water mains and sidewalks w'here sidew'alks should be. No use making paupers out of good people w’ho w'ant, to work. The chiselers and lazy ones will get kicked to hell out. There's bound to be shakeups in the city departments. Sure. I've got to take care of my friends, haven't I? And don't forget, I'm no clowm and nobody's fool.
