LOSS OF CHERRY TREES :
UNDETERMINED BY GRANT
Says Flood Waters Killed 25 or 80
in Potomac Park-Delays
Rsplacements.

The extent Of the loss of cherry trees
as result of the recent food waters
in Potomac Park has not yet been de-
termined, according to Lieut.. COL u S.
Ora, t. I. director of the Office of
Public Buildings and Public Parks of
the National Capital. Col. Grant said
today that the trees still show signs of
life. although he added that there prob
ably lid be some losses, and fixed
the figure at approximately between IS
80 trees.
Until the trees die, Col. Grant said
nat no steps would be taken to acquire
requirements, but he believed there
were sufficient number in the parks
TO take care of any losses. In some
places on the Tidal Basin it will be
necessary to remove some of the trees
to thin out in that area, and some will
be found in other places in the parks.
and these will be moved to fill the
places of those which died.

ONE is that an oil burner, once

 Today the convention was called together to complete it's work by selecting its candidate for the vice presidency. Leaders among the Smith supporters had been in con- ference during the early morning hours, and although Senator Robin- son of Arkansas, the convention chairman, had been the fayorite for second place on the ticket, others also were under consideration.
 In contrast to the bitter animosi- ties that surrounded Smiths unsuc- cessful bid for the presidential nom- nation four years ago in Madison square Garden. impressive gestures of harmony and conciliation preced- cd and followed his selection last night as the leader of his party. Just before the ballot was taken a party platform, contrary to the usual case. was adopted without a fight in open convention. After the nom- lnation had become fact. his most active rival for the honor, Senator Feed, of Missouri. went to the con- vention hall and told the delegates that no one would be more loyal than he to the newly chosen party nominee.
