PARTY'S FEUD OVER GARNER'S |} BOOM GROWING
Reflections on Aspirations Finally Arouse Taciturn Vice President.
(Editorial, Page 20) By THOMAS L. STOKES
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aprii 7—Vice President Garner's Presidential aspirations have become embroiled in a feud within the Democratic official family here which would be

The serio-comic drama is being|j
played out by satellites of the New Deal, on the one hand, and on the other by friends of the Vice President in the conservative wing of the now sorely split party. The Vice President, who usually pays no attention to what is written about him, now is miffed by newspaper columns and stories reflecting on his Presidential booma—in particular, it seems, when they seek to minimize his achievement in a low-cost housing project in his
home town of Uvalde, which his 3
friends have been comparing favorably with Government housing in the same community. Concerned Over Publicity This concern about pubilicity, of itself, shows how 1 Garner is taking his boom. His friends blame the counter-attack on the New Deal group directed by
Tom Corcoran, which, they say, has| §
inspired the stories. Characteristically, the Garner adherents do not take note of the fact that the new flourishing boom, which has placed him for the moment at least in the forefront of Democratic aspirants, also owes something to careful inspiring over a& period of months. The buildup has come largely from foes of the New Deal who chose the Vice President as a symbol of opposition to the President. Various newspapers and columnists have contributed to this by making the Vice President the hero of the conservative campaign for economy and for modification of certain New Deal tendencies. Mr, Garner himself has never come into the open. But he has never denied any of the stories. Regularly, after nearly every Cabinet meeting, the story goes around the Capitol lobbies about how Jack Garner talked up to the President, with occasional embroidery to the effect that he banged his fist on the Presidents desk and spoke sharply. He never has denied any of these reports. Garner Legend Grows
They have contributed to the growing Garner legend. They are repeated with relish by New Deal opponents. This is all a part of the quadrennial Presidential game. New Dealers make no bones about their hostility to a Garner nomination and are making it plain that they will do everything in their power to stop it. Ironically, they must take some of the blame for the Garner buildup. More than a year ago, when the Vice President began to question certain New Deal objectives, they sought to single him out instead of trying to get together with him. They chose his enmity then. The straw man they built up has taken on considerable substance, as the Presidential polls now show. The Vice President has a very active agent here. He is Roy L. Miller, an old friend, legislative agent— or lobbyist—of the Texas Gulf Sulphur Co., who has set up headquarters in a local hotel and talks with ail sorts of people, including bankers and oil men, about Mr. Garner for President.

PADEREWSKI VISITS HIS WESTERN LANDS
PASO ROBLES, Cal, April 7 (U. P) —Ignace Paderewski, the pianist and former President of Poland, visited his two ranches near here for the first time in seven years yesterday and was delighted when an old dog ran up, wagging his tail. “See,” said Paderewski, “he knows me after seven years.” A minute later Paderewski’s manner changed. He stooped, gathered a handful of dirt and let it run loosely through his fingers. “God bless America and the freedom it insures for generations to come,” he said.

The job pays $25 a year. Mr. Brown said the office wasn’t worth the trouble. Everyone agreed but no one offered to run for the job.

BORAH FAVORS ARMS SALE BAN 70 ALL IN WAR
Cash-Carry Plan on Other Goods Is Suggested in Neutrality Debate.
WASHINGTON, April T (U. P). —As Italy’s drive into Albania raised new questions of aggression, Senator Borzh (R. Ida.) took the lead today in a move toward a compromise neutrality law that would bar sale of American arms to all belligerents. Senator Borah, however, would permit warring countries to buy all other American commodities on a “cash-and-carry” basis. Chairman Key Pittman of the

So the bushes were taken to a greenhouse (center) where they burst into flower—too soon—in the warm temperature. The problem is finally to be solved by taking the blooms (below in all their glory) out of the greenhouse into a compromise temperature, with less water and less encouragement at the Manufacturer's Building at the Fair Grounds. gardeners are bringing to preseason maturity tomatoes, breens, peas, carrots, cabbages, lettuce, onions

Prince Confesses
“I am,” laughed the officer, “the Prince.” Prince Frederick shunned talk of European politics, pleading he was out of touch because of his long voyage. He talked instead of navigating a destroyer on the North Sea, and leading a band of the Danish Royal Guards. “I like trains, and I collect timetables,” he said. Princess Ingrid was puzzied when asked if Denmark has “jitterbugs.” She thought they were insects.
NEW POISONS FOUND IN WAR ON INSECTS
CORVALLIS, Ore, April 7 (U. P). —Two Oregon State College toxicologists have developed between 20 and 30 entirely new poisons deadly only to insects. Seeking some better way to control insect pests that beset farms and country homes, E. C. Callaway and R. G. Rosenstiel have experimented for the last two years on new combinations of the nitrogens and carbon compounds, and have reared more than 20,000 insects to die for science under application of the new compounds.

the Committee, felt that the proposal had merit, but that arms shipments should be embargoed. Neither Senator would differentiate between aggressors and nonaggressors.
Wait on War Recognition
The present law makes an embargo mandatory once the President declares a state of war exists, which he never has done for instance in the Chinese-Japanese war. Senator Borah believed the embargo on arms should be made mandatory. France and Great Britain have ordered more than 1000 American warplanes. Under Senator Borah’s plan, delivery of them would be cut off if those countries went to war. Any country that had the money to lay on the line and the ships to transport goods, however, could buy food, cotton, oil and other commodities in this country.
Committee Recesses
Senator Hiram W. Johnson (R. Cal), ardent isolationist, remained adamantly opposed to any plans to aid any countries—whether “cash-and-carry” or otherwise. His questioning of witnesses has been repeatedly accompanied by the statement: “We want peace.” The committee recessed until next week after hearing former Secretary

delegation of broader powers in foreign affairs to the President and Bernard M. Baruch, wartime chairman of the War Industries Board. Mr. Baruch said use of economic penalties against aggressors would lead inevitably to military war. Following an announcement by Secretary of State Hull that Japan has accumulated large supplies of American war materials in Manchukuo, Senator Nye (R. N. D.) charged that invokation of the Neutrality Act in the Sino-Japanese conflict would have prevented that.
