WASHINGTON, April aS-Dr. Thomas 4. Jaggar, eminent geol- ogist, who has set out at the head of a National Geographic expedi- tion to the Alaskan-Aleutian noun tain chain in an effort to discov- CT the inscrutable laws of vol canoes, has had difficult time picking a starting point.
 The region for which he is heading contains the worlds larg- est battery of volcanoes. It is some 2,000 miles long and con- tains at least 45 active craters, thousands of unknown island acres and hundreds of miles of shore line.
 The geologist finally decided to begin in the region between the Mt. Vesuvius" and the "Fuji- yama" of North America which ,ars ~lapped respectively. as Paw lof and Shishaldin. The area con taining them is described by the National Geographic society as a region of scenic majesty which probably will make the tip of the tapering Alaskan peninsula and the adjacent Aleutian island a flu ture national park.
 Dr.. Jaggar, who has studied vol canoes in many parts of the world, made a reconnaissance trip last summer and what he saw in this sector of the vast volcanic chain whetted his scientific appetite. For the region promises excep- tionally rich rewards in the ma jor scope of the expedition, which is the study of volcanoes with the hope that eruptions can be pre- dicted and loss of life and proper ty minimized. The important by product of the expedition, as was the case with the neighboring Mt. Katmai region in Alaska, will be the opening of a new region of scenic marvels.
 Describing his previous observa- tions of this area, Dr. Jaggar said:
 "Pavlof volcano has an open crater below its summit on the north side with faint steaming.
 "The most wonderful feature of the Pavlof area is the mountain mass adjacent to the west, called the Aghileen Pinnacles. From one point of view the pinnacle mountain is shaped like a big open bowl. The many slender spires are like icicles upside down all concentrated in. a ring. "On the west side of the Paw lof mountains appears Mt. Dutton, making with Pavlof, Pavlof Sis ter and the Pinnacles, fourth volcanic snowy mass dominated by the lesser mountains. (Mt. Out ton was. named by Dr. Jaggar only last summer and it's height deter mined, 1929 feet).
 "A lowland of tundra and flood plains, dunes and beaches extend to Isanotski Strait on the Boring Sea side of the Alaska Peninsula and beyond that to the bay at the foot of the 'Fvjiyama' of Alaska, Shishaldin volcano.
 "Shishaldin steams feebly at

SAN FRANCISCO, 7 April 2s- With the Republican party in Cali fornia united in support of tho candidacy of a favored son, Seere tary Herbert c. Hoover, voters are looking to the rival camp of the Democrats to supply the political pyrotechnics for the May l presi. dential primary.
 Only Hoover delegates appear on the Republican ballot, and by agreement these were selected by the campaign committee so there would be no contest between the progressive and conservative wings as to whose followers would cast the party's 29 votes for the secretary of commerce at the Kansas City convention.
 No such unanimity, however, ob- tains in the Democratic ranks. Here the old fight between Nc Adoo and Smith factions has been renewed and broadened into a three-way split through the active entry into the field of Senator James Reed of Missouri.
 Other than for changes in the personnel of the field forces, the McAdoo-Smith alignment is much the same as four years ago. But former U. s. Senator James D. Phelan, who in 1924 placed Me- Adoo in nomination for the presi- dency, now leads the delegation pledged to Smith. McAdoo, in stead of being the official choice of the states democracy for the party's standard bearer, is can didate for delegate to the conven- tion. He is heading his own forces, however, in the campaign against Smith, supporting Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana as the choice for the Democratic nomination.
 The Democrats have 30 dele gates to choose for the Houston convention, but only 26 votes.
 While there has never been court ruling, it is generally under stood that the candidate group elected under an expressed prefer ence for certain presidential as- pirant is pledged to that nominee until he releases them.
 The McAdoo-W Walsh adherents have campaigned as "dry, Wood row Wilson, anti-Tammany" Dem- ocrats. Reed has been supported on the slogan, Honest govern ment," with prohibition termed mot an issue" The Smith sup port has developed little campaign oratory, but has been marked by quiet and extensive organization.
 Among the prominent candidates for delegates are three women: Mrs. Gertrude Atherton, favoring Smith; Kathleen Norris, adhering to the McAdoo-Walsh camp, and Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. assistant attorney general, pledged to Hoover.
 Governor c. c. Young, progress sive Republican, is among the out standing supporters of the Hoover candidacy.
 The Socialists have no ticket, for the first time in years The prohibitionists have a complete set of delegates pledged to Daniel A. Polling.
