SLOW WEEK IN ST RUCCLE FOR
 DELEGATE VOTES
Most of National Delegates Been Chosen-Hoover
 and. Smith Near Goal

WASHINGTON, May 21-The selection of delegates to the Dem ocratic and Republican National conventions will be slow this week. Texas is tho only state where the lineups are doubtful. The Texas Democrats are very much divided. Some are bitterly opposed to Coy. Alfred E. Smith and others demand a dry plank and dry candidate. While the Smith men do not claim the Tex as delegation, they hope to have one that will stand by the nomi- nee of the convention and to have many friends among the 40 delegates.
 Gov. Smith will be unoprcsed in the South Dakota primaries Tuesday, the same day that Mary lands delegates will be named. It is thought that Maryland will in. struct her delegates to support Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, but tha. Coy. Smith will be their second choice.
 All but 10 of the 1,0S9 dele gates to the Republican National convention have been selected and all but 230 of the HOO Demo cratic delegates have been named These totals do not include Ore gon where the returns are incom plete or Colorado and New Mex ico where delegates were selected late Saturday.
 Herbert Hoover claims 52312 Republican delegates, within 21 1a votes of q majority of the con vention. His supporters say the Texas delegation and others will boost him to more than a clear majority of the convention. Op. ponents of Hoover dispute 203 of these votes. Former Gov. Frank O. Lowden claims 261h delegates of which 90 are disputed
 The Smith forces claim well above the GOO mark in the Demo cratic convention and hope to boost their number further during the week. They expect to- get at least 36 votes from Colorado, Ore gon, New Mexico and South Da- kota, and the call on Maryland s 16 when they are needed.

NEW YORK, May 21-Ra Hos dots and dashes, racing through the bitter cold of the Arctic aa messengers oA Cupid, spell we'd ding bells and orange blossoms to two commercial operators-an American member Of an explora- tion party and Danish girl.
 The American is Paul c. Oscan. van, Jr., of Bogota, N. J., and the girl is Astrid Funder, the daugh- ter of the director of a Copen. hagen school of navigation.
 They met in the far north in the radio cabin of ship. Then they talked by radio until the language of love began to creep into the Continental code. Final. ly Oscanyan overcame his shy. ness and sent out a proposal that anybody familiar with the sig nals might hear.
 But only the heart of one whose ears were properly tuned to the phrase will you marry meY' fluttered in a manner that made her hand quickly click out Yes in the code of the air.
 Although miles interyened and at times it was necessary to call upon some willing amateur to re lay their messages, which Astrid did not fail to fill with the words that only lovers use, the court ship ran almost as smoothly as does that of two who do not have to depend on mans method of making the far parts of the earth as side by side.
 Oscanyan was the radio opera tor with the University of Michi- gan Greenland expedition, and he was in charge of the short wave equipment which kept the party in touch with civilization. Part. of the trip into the north was made on the supply ship Disko of the Danish government.
 Much to his chagrin he found that the commerciab operator on board was girl. But the com mon ground of radio threw them together during much of the long voyage to Mt. Evans, where the expedition began its investiga- tions, and Oscanyan began to think differently.
 After setting up the radio equipment of the expedition, which contained long wave re ceiver, Oscanyan spent many an evening listening to words of cheer coming from the key of the girl on the Disko. But it was a one-sided conversation, as the long wave outfit on the ship could not tune to the signals from the ex- .pedition's short wave transmitter
 Later several members of the expedition returned to the United States. They took a short wave receiver to Miss Funder. Two days after 1t was installed the former listener joined in the con

While residents of Juneau who remained in the city yesterday were forced to stay within and watch the rain without, others who yentnred forth on the high way found warmth and sunshine from approximately the fifteen mile limit onward.

Most agreeable climatic condi- tions were reported from al along Lynn Canal, while at Eagle River the sun shone brightly the entire day. according to those who picnicked there.
 With the warm weather and high tide, several parties tried swimming on the Eagle River Bar and reported it first rate. An other party which made the trip to Windfall Lake brought back re- ports of the finest weather expert enced for months.

 When the girl returned home to Copenhagen she quickly set about gathering the parts for a 50-watt short wave transmitter so that the courtship would not be interrupted.

 Oscanyan now is in Copenhagen and his parents, MT. and Mrs. Paul c. Oscanyan, Sr., are on their way to attend the wedding. Their invitation came by amateur radio through the cooperation of neighbor boy, John Mustermann, who picked up message from their son telling of his approach ing marriage.

Farrell Mac Donald an opportunity to prove his ability with ball and cue in "The Family Upstairs" screen version of Harry Delf's mirth. provoking success which opens a two day run at the Coliseum starting Tuesday. Leading TO mantle roles were assigned Vir ginia 'yalli and Allan Simpson.
 In this very human comedy ol New York domestic life, MacDon |ald, who won undying fame al "Casey" in "The Iron Horse plays the part of father who is merely the titular head of the es tablishment. Lillian Elliott, as >the mother, gives dad" to under stand that she rules the roost She can see no faults in Willie Heller, their young son, but Pop Heller can-and does.
 He sees, for example, that young Willie is a pool expert and too lazy to work. Time and again the father shoves the "helr wanted" column under young Will lies nose-and time and again Willie spurns it. The hardest work Willie ever does is to battle a pool ball around the green baize of a billiard table. This makes no decided hit with Pop who earns but $3500 a week az a car inspector. This is only a starter of the plot.
