VANNUYS DENIES ABANDONING HIS LIBERAL POLICY Indiana Senator Defends Record Against Charge of Conservatism. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Tlidm Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Fob. 25.—Despite his recpnt conservative utterances regarding the Supreme Court and the Constitution. Senator Frederick VanNuys said today he still is a liberal. To prove his point he listed all the liberal laws for which he has voted under the New Deal. Defense of his stand was made by Indiana’s senior Senator in answering a letter he received from a Hoosier college professor challenging his views. Although he made the answer public, Senator VanNuys refused to name the professor or his college. Professor Quoted According to Senator VanNuys answer, the professor’s letter said: "Asa Democrat who gave you vigorous support in your campaign for the Senate, I must say that your statement (against tinkering with the Constitution or curbing the Supreme Court's powers) comes as a great shock, as well as a keen disappointment. "When you were elected to office many of us entertained high hope that Indiana at last had a Senator in Washington who would come out from behind his long whiskers and take a constructive, librral stand on all the important problems that confront us today.” Replying to this, Senator VanNuys pointed out that he voted for New Deal banking laws, AAA, farm credit. NRA, relief, social security, neutrality, anti-lynching, holding company bill, CCC, rural electrification, securities act, TVA, HOLC and housing. Defends His Record "In what instance har® I not assumed a constructive and liberal and, I hope, intelligent stand on the important problems with which the people df this country have been confronted during the last three years?” Senator VanNuys asked. Another paragraph from the professor’s letter is quoted as follows: "I note that you < Senator VanNuys) say: ‘Our existing system has been successful for 150 years.’ Has it been successful? If it has. then you and I have been reading different history books. I should, perhaps, start reading American history all over again.” Questions Curriculum Expressing surprise at this, Senator VanNuys wrote: "I do not know what history text books your institution uses, but if they teach the young men and women enrolled wfith you that our form of government has not been successful, it is about time the parents of these boys and girls take notice of your curriculum.” In closing, the Senator repeated j what he said in Indianapolis re- S centlv, taking a strong stand for the Constitution as it is and for the Supreme Court. Opposite views have been expressed by Senator Sherman Minton, who is to present them in a nation-wide radio hookup tonight. WPA TO MAKE SURVEY OF COUNTIES’ RECORDS S. J.

‘Lunatic Fringe’ of Youthful Zealots Lead Revolt of Puerto Rican Radicals

I *'■ - jj' > —- & iflflHHEfijlto- y — * ———

BY HERBERT LITTLE WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—The “republic” of Puerto Rico, which lasted 24 hours when it was formed in a revolt against Spain 68 years ago, and its present-day black-shirted "army of Liberation,” may be a key to Sunday’s assassinations in Puerto Rico. The San Juan assassins who slew Col. Francis Riggs, ex-Army officer and member of a distinguished banking family here, were followers of Pedro Albizu Campos, "president” of the “republic.” The men who killed a local police chief a few hours later also were identified as nationalists. This group, which polled 5000 votes in the last Puerto Rican elections, is represented here as an organization of patriotic zealots formed on Fascist lines rather than as a political party. It is not identified with either of the major parties—the Liberals or the Republican-Socialist coalition. Albizu campos, a mulatto with a Harvard education, about 40, has the appearance of a high-chaste Hindu. He has burning eyes, speaks with the fervor of a Father Coughlin, and his chief doctrine is that the United States is a monster of the north which must be ousted from its ownership of the island and its sovereignty over nearly two million inhabitants. On a farm near San Juan, "President” Albizu maintains court. His "army” it* reported to include a few hundred, perhaps a thousand, young extremists. They are called “cadets of the republic,” and two of them maintain sentry-go inside his gate. They wear black shirts with an emblem, and white trousers with black stripe down the side. Their advocacy of violence is said to date from Albizu’s selection as “president” about five years ago. His thesis is that the 1868 revolt against Spain, which set up a republic at the town of Lares, in the coffee hills, established a status of independence which still exists in law. Consequently, he holds, Spain had no right to cede the island to the United States in 1899.

A hill farmer is a stubborn cuss, and when he takes to. cigarettes when he’s well gone by 60 years, he has good reasons for wanting those cigarettes. And for some time now I haven*t touched any smoking but OLD GOLDS. My brother*s son got me on cigarettes, but the ones he gave me seemed too quick-burning. One day our general storekeeper stood me one of those Double-Mellow OLD GOLDS, made of prize crop tobaccos. And I had my first cigarette that burnt as slow and cool as my pipe, and that didn’t leave a man’s tongue stinging and biting like that other cigarette brand. I’ve bought Double-Mellow OLD GOLDS ever since, and every pack has been the same. I know, because I’m blind, and we without eyes learn to taste and feel better than you who see.

THE program of his group is to elect a majority of the island legislature and declare the island free, defending it if necessary. Recently the violence has become more marked, with Albizu pledging his followers to "revenge.” The killing of Riggs, according to a quoted statement of one of the assassins before he was slain by police, stems from a police battle with Nationalists last November. In the early days the Nationalists’ strength was largely among university students. Last October Albizu in a radio speech commented scathingly on the morals of the University of Puerto Rico. Students called a mass meeting to adopt resolutions of censure. Insular police, under Riggs, stopped a car near the university and arrested the four occupants. The car contained guns and dynamite bombs made from lead pipe. Firing broke out, and the police on the running board killed four occupants. One policeman was wounded. A bystander was killed, 000 AT the funeral of the four, Albizu, in an oration, called for revenge. There is strong sentiment in Puerto Rico for independence, but only the “lunatic fringe” of youthful zealots are aligned with Albizu, according to informed persons here. The Liberals stand for

independence with mutually harmonious negotiations—as the Philippines got theirs—while the other party in general favors statehood. The elections in November chiefly involve control of the island legislature, and to some extent the issue of the Liberal Party's support of the Roosevelt rehabilitation efforts in Puerto Rico. The coalition now has a legislative majority. Elected by De Pauw Alumni Bp United Press GREENCASTLE. Ind., Feb. 25. Philip Maxwell, Evanston, 111., today succeeded the late Charles F.

SINCLAIR SEEKS PARRCONTROL EPIC Chief to Enter May Primary in California Democratic Race. Bp United Press LOS ANGELES. Feb. 25.—Upton Sinclair, founder of the Epic-Demo-cratic movement two years ago, today returned to California's political warring as a "nominal” candidate for President in his party’s primary. Although Mr. Sinclair announced his retirement from active political campaigning several months ago, he came out of his retirement to lead the EPIC forces in a battle for control of the state’s delegation to the Democratic national convention. The author announced his willingness to head the EPIC ticket in the primaries May 5 because President Roosevelt failed to give his followers more than a dozen places in the delegation, turning over control to “regular” Democrats. Mr. Sinclair emphasized, however, that his move was not to be interpreted as opposition to the candidacy of President Roosevelt.
