MEXICO CITY, June s.-tFJ-Mex-

usual crowds today when the general
public learned for the first time from
the morning newspapers Of efforts
TO settle the religious question.
Previously the papers had failed
q publish any foreign dispatches
concerning the movement but this
morning printed extensive reports
from Rome and New York. having
leareed that this would not be OBJ
lecti0:iable 10 the government. No
mention Of the subject Was made
.eaitorialiy, however. nor was there
any news on the question from Mex

Catholic circles are intensely in
terested in developments but out

are open contained the usual groups
Of individuals. entering, kneeling,

MOSCOW. Jrne s-AH-A radio
amateur named Smith OF Nozne-
sensk, DviIsls, near Archangel, who
last Sunday received what was
thought to be tire first SOS message
from the missing dirigible Italia. re-
ported today that he had heard a
third call from the Mobile expedition
nc AIS o'clock this morning.
Smith said that the call read:
Storm NV. S. O. s.. Paterman."
There was no one named Pater-

KINGS BAY. Spitzbergen. June 5.
1R1-The Citta de Milano was send
ing out incessant calls to the miss
ing dirigible Italia today. but was
unable to GET any answer. 1t was
feared, therefore, that the weak sig
nails which the vessels radio opera
tor said he picked up yesterday did
not emanate from the missing air
ship.
With taut nerves. radio operators
listened today to catch further sig
nails which might clear ur the nvs-
terry Of the latest messages.
Twice the radio operator of the
base ship citta di Miiano heard sig
mails too weak to dscipher which ne
was sure were from Operator Biasi
OF the Italia. Early yesterday when
conditions were unfzvnraslc for
TRANSMISSION the first vague signals
were picked up. The base snip OPP
orator Immediately sent out a mes
sage addressed TO Biagi telling him
TO again try at ) p. m. when il would
be a little darker and moro favor
able for transmission.
The operator thought he caught
weak signals again at the d~esignat-
ed hour.
He was unable 20 make out what
the sender was trying TO say. Mean
time searching expeditions, which
have as yet found no trace Of the
airship- were augmented b. the ar
rival Of Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Lar-
sen, Norwegian arctic pilot. His
plane was placed on the water and
ne hoped today that the fog would
lift sufficiently 70 enable him to fly

DENIES FARM
OPPOSITION TO
HOOVER RACE
Michigan Congressman
Says Agriculture Strong
for Secretary.
BY KENNETH WATSON

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Re-
ported opposition of farmers to
Secretary Hoover's candidacy for
President is greatly exaggerated and
will have little effect, in the opin-
ion of Representative John G..
Ketcham of Michigan, one of the
leaders of the House farm bloc who
predicted today his State will be
Overwhelmingly for Hoover.
Taking President Coolidge's I
do not choose statement as final, ]
consider Hoover the serongest can
didate the Republican party can
nominate for the presidency"
Ketcham, who has been on the
House Agricultural Committee for
four terms, said.
Denies Press Reports
Ketcham said press dispatches
from parts of the Middle West in
dictate Hoover will encounter strong
opposition among farmers, based on
Hoover's alleged unfriendly attitude
toward agriculture while wartime
food administrator.
My own observation and eX-
pcrience leads me to believe that
this opposition has no foundation
in fact that it will have little effect,
indeed, the actual facts are the
other way. Right now the basic con-
tcntion of all farm relief advocates
Is that farm prices should be on an
equality with other commodity
prices" Ketcham said.
The Michigan Congressman, after
an exhaustive study, said farm
commodity prices averaged higher
for the entire period Hoover was
food administrator than the gen.
eral retail price level of nom
agricultural commodities.
Farmer Is Conservative
1.-THE farmer fundamentally is a
conservative, and when he recalls
the price advantage the facts act
ually prove he enjoyed during
Hooyer'S connection with food prices
he will not be stampeded against
him in either primary or general
election" Ktcheam said.
Ketcham declared that the charge
Hoover has continued unfriendly to
agriculture since he became Secre-
tary of commerce is as wide of the
mark as the charge of discrimina-
ton during the war,
