SMITH HELD PARTY
FAV0R|TE IN SOUTH
AsWeII Tells President Gov
ernor Would Carry States
if Nominated,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Gov. Smith of New York leads all
other Democrats in the race for the
presidential nomination in the South,
Representative Aswell of Louisiana
asserted today after a call upon Presi-
dent Coolidge.
Aswell made 1t plain that he was
merely reporting sentiment and was
not declaring himself necessarily in
favor of Gov. Smiths nomination. He
said that, according to information
which he has gathered, Smith had a
very good chance of being nominated
and elected and he felt that in case
he was nominated the Southern
States would vote the Democratic
ticket as they always have done.
Sees Farm Fight Renewal.
The Louisiana Representative, who
is the ranking Democrat on the House
agricultural committee, declared that
he felt the farm relief fight in the
next Congress would be waged along
substantially the same lines as it was
last year, with the advocates of the
McNary-Haugen bill opposing the sup
porters of the Curtis-C Crisp measure,
which failed of substitution for the
McNary-Haugen plan in a bitter fight
last Winter.
He considered, however, that in the
next Congress the administration
would be able to muster enough
strength to put over the Curtis-C -Crisp
bill, which it was generally credited
with tacitly supporting last Winter.
This bill in many details is similar to
the Jardine proposal for a $500, ,000
revolving fund with which to make
loans to farmers and strengthen CO
| operative marketing associations.
Urges Federal Aid.
Aswell declared that he was as yet
undecided whether he would reintro
| duce his own farm-relief measure, a
proposal which sought to aid the farm
| ers in controlling crop surpluses them
selves by proper restriction of produc
| ton. The st. Louis conference, which
yesterday reaffirmed its faith in the
McNary-Haugen bill, was declared by
Mr.. Aswell to have been made ur
largely of paid lobbyists Of agricul
tural organizations.

keenly appreciative that Southern

A|RSH|PS FOLLOW
UNSEEN BEACONS
Planes Guided Over Ocean
Through Use of Radio
Receiving Set.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 21.--When
an airplane's radio receiving set
functions the pilot can follow unseen
beacons across the ocean.
This was indicated in the first prac-
tical test of the radio beacon system
of guiding planes at sea. Except
when the receiving set of the Army
plane that spanned the Pacific from
Oakland to Hawaii failed, the flyers
were able to follow invisible lanes of
safety charted for them by wireless
stations.
The method developed by the United
States Signal Corps under Paul 5. Ed
wards at McCook Field, Dayton. Ohio,
was employed. Radio beaCons were
installed at Fort Riley, near San
Francisco. and at Paia, on the Isle
of Maui, Hawaii.
Directional radio telegraph signals
went out for each station covering
narrow V-shaped area. Along the
northern arm of each V went the dash
and dot of the letter n. and along
the other went the dot and lash of
the letter A. As the y and A blended
1t made the letter I SO that as long
as the great Fokker plane kept re-
ceiving the letter T, the navigator
If he got too far to the North he
received the letter n and K too far
to the South the letter A. so he could
shift his course accordingly and get
back into the lane.
The object of having a sending ap-
paratus at each end was 10 keep the
signals strong as the plane sped out
and because of distance, the lahe
had widened. For short distance fly
ing. authorities here said, 4 S.rgle
sending apparatus would suffice.
The signal is received by a wire
hanging from the plane, weighted
down by three pound weight.
The signal Is transmitted automati
cally at intervals of second or two.
An electric motor keeps a cylinder
revolving continuously. Half way
around it trips a key which sends out
the letter n. Another ha'f revol2
ton and it trips key which senGs
out the letter A.
The mechanism is much the same
as is used in the radio compass.
