tional committee.
New York, July 11.-R-Ths
Democratic National committee as
sembled here today to organize and
to get first hand the views Of Cover
nor Smith on the conduct Of the
campaign.
Particularly, the men and women
making up its membership sought
advice from the presidential nominee
on the selection Of COMMITTEES
chairman, who will direct operations
against the Republicans, and on the
fixing of dates for the official noti-
fication Of him and his running
mate, Senator Robinson of Arkansas.
Both Of the nominees were in town
for the committee meeting, and Gov
ernor Smith, before attending it,
had an engagement to discuss cam.
paign plans with Senator Reed Of
Missouri, who made a spirited fight
against him for the Democratic
domination.
Reed Meets Smith
At the invitation of Mr.. Smith, the
Missourian had come to New York
for a conference. After his arrival
he gave every indication that he
would "go to the end Of the road" in
support Of the party cause.
'1'm going to do all / can to elect
the ticket" declared the fiery sena-
tor, who in his pre-convention cam.
paign centered vigorous attack on
the Republican administration, casti-
eating among others Herbert Hoov-
er, now the Republican nominee.
The National committee meeting
was arranged for the afternoon, and
it was planned to hold it behind
closed doors at the National Demo
cratic club.
Smith Picks Chairman
Designation of a chairman to sue
ceed Clem Shaver of West Virginia
was in reality left to Governor
Smith, who has indicated, however,
a desire to have advice from COM
mittee members before making
definite recommendation.
For some time the word has been
going the rounds that Smith prefers
Senator Gerry of Rhode Island for
the post. The names of Owen D.
Young, chairman of the board of the
General Electric company, Melvin
Traylor, Chicago bank president,
and others have been mentioned.
In addition to filling the shoes of
Glenn Shaver, who took over the COM
mittee reins four years ago after his
friend, John e.. Davis, had been
nominated, the committee was called
on to name q successor to Mrs
Emily Newell Blair, of Missouri, as
vice chairman. She no longer is q
member and therefore is ineligible
for reelection.
Nellie Ross Wants Job
There is a scrap on for her place
with friends Of Mrs. Nellie Taylor
Ross, former governor Of Wyoming,
claiming she has the edge over Mrs.
Florence Farley, committeewoman
from Kansas, Miss Bernice Pyke, of
Ohio, and several others who have
figured in speculation.
In determining when Smith should
be notified Of his nomination and
thus given an opportunity to deliver
an acceptance speech discussing the
issues Of the campaign, he and par
ty leaders lave been confronted with
a problem Of strategy. The Hoover
notification has been set for August
II. If the Democrats, as is their
custom, stand by until after that
ceremony, it will be mid-August be-
fore Smith has his say to the coun-
try. Some strategists want him to
fire the first gun, and are suggest
ing late July or the first week Of
August for his notification.

London, July l1.-CP)-A Reuters
dispatch from Moscow states that
the walking party Of the dirigible
Italia has been found.
The group Of three men. headed
by DR.. Finn Malmgren, Swedish me-
teorologist, which previously has
been referred to as the walking
party, had been missing and prac-
tically given up for lost ever since
May 80, when they left the nine men
of the Mobile group, who had been
thrown upon the ice when the
Italia's gondola was smashed on
May Is.
With DR.. Malmgren were Captain
Alberto Mariana, pilot Of the Italia.
and Captain Filippo Zappi. Italian
navy navigator.
Made Desperate Attempt
These men stayed five days with
the marooned party off Northeast
land, and then decided to make an
effort to reach land and then to trek
across Northeastland to Kings Bay.
They carried approximately fifty
ppuISda; OF provisions, but so far ~
known had n6 arms.
The purpose Of the group was to
reach the Kings Bay base to bring
help back to their comrades, who
were stranded near 'Foyn island in
10 tiny encampment centered about
. small red tent.
A message was received in Mos
cow today stating that the Russian
flyer Chukhnosvky, who has been
making flights from the icebreaker
Krassin, now near Foyn island, made
the discover in the course Of 4
reconnaissance flight.
Chukhnosvky himself was recently
missing for several days when he
made forced landing, but was able
to fly back to the base ship safely.
Icebreaker Tied Up
The powerful icebreaker Krassin
was sent north by the Soviet gov
ernment on June IL to aid in the
search for the missing men Of the
Italia. It left Leningrad for Kings
Bay on June Is and arrived at Virgo
Bay, north Spitzbergen, on the 10th.
Ever since then the ship has been
battling ice floes in an effort to
reach the castaways near Foyn
Island. II was last reported about
Is to 80 miles from the marooned
men. making very slow progress to-
ward them.
With the softening Of the ice,
hope Of rescuing the men by means
Of airplanes had decreased and the
chief reliance Of the rescue expedi-
tions had centered more and more
on the icebreaker.
Landing Place Sought
The Russian airman found DR..
Nalmgren and his two companions
ct 8O.l2 north latitude and 26.46
east longitude which is about 20
miles from the present position Of
the Krassin. This is west Of Cape
Platen, Northeast Land.
The pilot this afternoon was
searching for . place to make =
landing near the party in order to
pick them up.
The airman reported that he
eircled over the men five times.
Two Of the party energetically
waved flag to him. The third was
lying down.
