WASHINGTON Merry-Go-Round Representative Lewis Of Maryland Distinct Contrast to Tydings, Gentleman of Luxury By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN (Editor's Note The Brass Ring II granted to distinguished individuals In American life. This week's free rider is Representative David J. Lewis of Cumberland, Md.) WASHINGTON, July Of all the primary fights into which Roosevelt plans to poke his presidential arm this summer, one of the bitterest and certainly the most interesting in personalities is the one in Maryland. Here the clash is more clean-cut than in any state in the Union.

And the clash of personalities typifies the issues. Here Roosevelt is opposed by Senator Millard E. Tydings, who has voted almost as consistently agafinst him as Senator Vanden-berg of Michigan, his leading Republican opponent. Here also, Roosevelt is upheld in the Senate race by Congressman David John Lewis, who not only has voted religiously for him, but who thought of and fought for a New Deal long before Roosevelt. It was 36 years ago that Lewis came out for unemployment insurance, workmen's compensation, low tariffs, wages and hours legislationall before Roosevelt was even elected to the New York Senate.

No two candidates could be more directly opposite than Tydings and Lewis, not only on issues but in personality. Indeed, the Maryland campaign catchword is "The Man from the Mines vs. the Man from the Mansion." Millard (Milord) Tydings is young, sleek and slender, a gentleman of ease with a flare for fine dressing. Davey Lewis is a little old man, with wizened face and gnarled hands, whose eyes blink as if he were still unaccustomed to the sunlight after early years underground. Tydings is a Beau Brummcl.

Lewis is a gnome. Lewis was 21 years old when Tydings was born. Tydings was raised in ease in eastern Maryland, provided with a thorough schooling. Lewis went tcr work in the western mines at the age of 9 and got no schooling yntil a Sunday-school teacher taught him Latin after he was grown, Today, Lewis is a great student, spends his leisure hours in the Library of Congress. Tydings, on the other hand, is to be seen at the horse races, Washington's swankiest dinners, or aboard his mother-in-law's yacht.

Lewis lives at an obscure boaid-inghouse just around the corner from the Capitol, where board and room cost him and his wife $120 a month. Tydings keeps a house in Washington and a palatial estate on the upper Chesapeake, with a 10-car garage and 10-tenant houses. Even their wives are exact opposites. Mrs. Lewis is an unassuming little woman-who has not changed the style of her hat for 20 years, while Mrs.

Tydings, tall, young and beautiful, goes in for ermines and earrings. She is the daughter of Joe Davies, ambassador to Belgium, and step-daughter of the famous Marjorie Post Hutton Davies, thrice-married breakfast food heiress and aunt of Barbara Hutton. A Second George Norris Davey Lewis is the nearest counterpart to George Norris on Capitol Hill. He has been fighting for social reform for nearly four decades and has lived long enough to see many of his reforms come true. The seeds of reform were planted as far back as the 1870 when his father, in the Welsh tradition, took his 9-year-old son to the mines.

The only difference between the two workers, as Davey now recalls, was that "father had a big pick and shovel, and I had a Jjfitle pick and a littlo shovel." Strikes were a great blessing to young Lewis in those days. "They used to worry father," Lewis recalls, "because he had to provide food for the family. But I liked them because it was the only time I could got off to play." Lewis recalls'only two strikes when he was a boy, and on these two occasions he learned to play baseball. Although Lewis was born in the United States, his father was not. Many years later Lewis went back to Wales, where ho visited the mine in which not only his father but his grandfather had worked 100 years before.

"But in Pennsylvania and Maryland today," adds Lewis, "there is not one mine where I once worked that is still in operation." Lewis vs. Coolidge By studying at. night, and walking from the mines to the city each Saturday night to return hnnkH ha had borrowed, Lewis managed to pass the bar exami nations, and later was electca to the state senate of Maryland in 1901. Ho was elected from the western part of the state, onco wealthy in coal, and he has rep- 4 (Continued on Page Eleven) BOY, SECTION TWO INLAND EMPIRE CITY ARRANGES GALA DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS Children's Program, Pyrotechnic Show to Be Held at Perris Hill Baseball Grounds A sports program, patriotic rites and an elaborate pyrotechic display will comprise San Bernardino's official observance of Independence day at Perris hill baseball park today.

The boy was found more than six miles from the camp, uninjured and apparently unfrightened.

WALKING IN ROAD W. F. Bruce, of 2831 street, and L. J. Carter, of 2839 street, San Bernardino, who were driving along an old, rarely-traveled road near the North Shore tavern on Lake Arrowhead, came upon the boy walking leisurely down the middle of the road shortly before 9 p.m.

Sheriff Emmett L. Shay personally conducted the search, during which deputies, forest rangers and 75 volunteers of the Blue Jay area penetrated the heavily-wooded hills in a desperate race against darkness. SEEN ON HILL Deputy Sheriff Perry Green, Deputy Sheriff Jesus Amarias, veteran Indian tracker, and Constable Hal Davies of Crestline launched the search yesterday morning after the parents reported they could not find the boy, who had been last seen at 9:30 a.m. wandering alone on a hill between Daly road and Blue Jay canyon. When no trace of the youngster was found at 5 p.m., Sheriff Shay and Undersheriff James W.

Stocker rushed to the small mountain community two miles southwest of Lake Arrowhead, to assume leadership in the search. When the adventurous youngster was returned to the grateful arms of his parents, he gave no indication of shock from his day's experiences; and officers concluded that he probably wandered aimlessly all day through the hills, where there are scores of mountain cabins.
