In his palmy days, Brown had

series of campaigns. He was under
the direction of Manager Lew Brown
when he won the city lightweight
championship in New Haven. He
followed it up by taking the Con-

then nothing would satisfy him but
a meeting with the holder OF the
worlds title, Benny Leonard.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, September
10.--The greatest peace-time health
battle ever waged in this country is
under way in the Mississippi Valley
and already it has been marked with
astounding victories for medical
science, according to Secretary Hoover,
who arrived here today for series
of conferences with flood officials from
several States.
The filth-laden food has come and
gone. but instead OF the widespread
epidemics of typhoid fever. malaria,
smallpox, pellagra and other diseases
that were feared as an aftermath. the
general health situation at present is
better than ever in the history of the
valley, Hoover declared.
The only disease that has given any
considerable concern is pellagra, that
strange skin malady due to improper
diet There are about $4,000 pellagra
cases in the flood area today, but even
this number is not a great increase
over records of previous years, it is
declared by doctor William Dekleine,

Cross. DIR. Dekleine has just COM

Secretary Suggests More
Common Sense in Flights

By a staff Correspondent Of The Star


LITTLE ROCK, Ark, September

safeguards" should be demanded in
transoceanic flight attempts, Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover declared to-
day in a formal statement requested
by the Stars correspondent. While

Hoover believes that rigid qualifica-

should be exacted by those sponsoring
overseas aviation contests or indi-
vidual projects.
Hoover's Statement.
The Secretary's statement, prepared
in the midst of his flood activities, fol-
lows:
''Have a number of kilograms ask.
ing for my views on overseas flights.
The spirit of adventure, fine courage
of youth, has given the world its
pioneers in every new human activity
and it will be SO with us as long as
we can maintain the virility Of the
race. Without the Lindberghs, the
Rodgers and the Byrds. overseas avi-
alton would yet be a closed book.
"The number of fine young men
who have gallantly attempted these
feats and who have lost have them
selves contributed greatly to the
worlds knowledge Of the need of fur
ther technical development. Their
tragedies have served to demonstrate
the extreme hazard which still main

Overland aviation especially
along the national air routes, has be-
come almost as safe as other forms OF
TRANSPORTATION This land aviation is
safeguarded by markings of the
routes, by lighting, by emergency
landing fields. In case of failure OF
equipment, fogs or storms or loss OF

DEMOCRATIC RULE
CHANGES FAVORED
Members of National Com

Wipe Out Two Regulations.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 10.-If the
views of the members of the Demo
cratic national committee can be
taken as indicative of the vote to be
expected from their States, it would
appear the next Democratic national
convention will have the strength to
wipe out both the unit and wo.thirds
rules.
This statement is based on a con.
tinuation of a survey of sentiment
among members of the committee. Ad.
ditional replies include statements
from several of the women members
of the committee.
25 Favor Abolition.
The vote now stands:
Total response to inquiry, 81.
In favor of the abolition of both
rules, %.
In favor of doing away with unit
rule. but non-committal or opposed to
change of two-thirds rule, 3.
In favor IF abolishing two.thirds
rule, but non-committal or against
disturbing unit rule, 9.
In favor of two-thirds rule, s.
In favor of unit rule, 8.
Qualified or non.committal on both
rules. 9.
F'ifty-six per cent of those replying
have favoreds the abrogation of the
provision which permits a majority
of certain delegations to coptrol the
vote of the whole delegation; 66. pcr
cent have expressed the view the next
Democratic candidate for President
should be nominated by majority vote
rather than continue the ballotine
until some individual has obtained
two-thirds of the convention.
Division in One State Only.
The returns become a good deal
more significant, however, when the
relative votes of the States from
which replies have been reviewed
are considered. In only one State has
any division appeared between the
man and the woman member of the
national committee. That is Wyom
ing. Without expressing his persona
! preference, P j. Queaiy of that State
expressed the belief no change would
be made in either rule. his associate
| member, Mrs. Burke Fl. Sinclair, re
| corded herself heartily in favor ol
| resembling both provisions, and pre-
| dicted the convention would do it.
The States from which one or both
committee members have now com
| mitted themselves to change in both
! rules are:
| Minnesota, North Dakota, Utah
California, Oregon, Illinois, Michigan
Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Vermont
Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island
New York, Pennsylvania, Arkansas
Connecticut, Nevada and Wyoming
These States will have a total of 51O
votes in the convention. Without
Wyoming they will have 504.
The States from which at least one
representative has expressed himself

majority are Idaho, New Hampshire,

when we Were hopping off at Hong
kong. where the winds had forced us
to take off toward low mountain.
We got up enough speed, however. to
enable us to clear it, and after that

One difficulty on this part of the

overcome.

We encountered strong head winds
as soon as we left Hongkong, which
retarded our flying time, and hence
we were able to average less than 50
miles an hour, which delayed our ar
