HOOVER IS URGED ]
AS c. 0. P. NOMINEE
Hearst Says Secretary Will
Carry On Policies
of Coolidge.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 8.-William Ran
dolph Hearst, in an editorial appearing
in his morning newspapers today, says:
President Coolidge being definitely
out OF the race for the Republican NOM
ination. and Secretary Mellon having
refused to allow his name to be used,
the Hearst newspapers find the one man
most capable of carrying on the princi-
pies and policies of the Coolidge admin
istratiOn to be Secretary Herbert c.
Hoover.
The best evidence Of this truth Is
the tact that Secretary Mellon, and, IN
ded. as far as 1t is legitimate in his
high office. President Coolidge, are sup
porting the candidacy of Secretary
Hoover.
THE present situation demands con-
SerVatSm. and Secretary HooVer'S con-
scrvatism is of the constructive and
not the reactiOnary type.
There is. therefore pr obably no man
in the whole Republican party who
would be as useful a President to the
party and as valuable President TO the
Nation during the neyt four years as
Secretary Hoover.
Moreover, he Is unquestionably the
strongest candidate from a mere politi-
cal point OF view that the Republican
party could possibly nominate.
The Republican party cannot afford,
in the light Of recent disclosures. to re-
ject conspicuously honest, able and
popular candidate and nominate an
other Harding just to please the poll

Attack on Plan.

Special Dispatch 80 The Star.
CLARENDON. Va. June s.-OppoSi-
tton to the suggested river route for
the nvopoSed Mount Vernon boulevard
ts contained i'll resolution adopted
Yesterday by the board Of directors OF
The Arlington County Chamber OF
Commerce.
This action was taken following
lengthy discussion of the project and
the reading Of a letter by Clarence r
Ahalt. president of the chamber, in
which he pointed out the many diSad-
vantaeeS 10 the county should the
boulevard be established along the
river front
the boulevard along the river front
would destroy the countyS logical in
CuStyial area. and asks. "Where can
better facilities for industries be of.
Eeved than between the river and the
railroads row located therce"
Question of Future.
"The railroads have purchased large
sections for future expansion OF tracks
and wards" he continues. "and 1t Is
not likely any part Of 1t viii be de-
velopeG for 4 residential section as
has been argued as thief Uture possible
Such a route. while urged for pur-
poses Of beautifying the river front will
cost decidedly more than westerly
route. the difference being more than
ample To besutify the entire river front
70 Four-Mlle Run. Even 50. We will
have water front drive on the one
side and an industrial development and
immense railroad yards on the other.
certainly not an inviting scene 4 We
can picture what it will resemble.
From the Highway Bridge to Four
Mile Run We would have TO pass under
or over from eight TO ten railroad
tracks. and from Four-Mile Run TO
Alexandria these figures would be
multiplied several times, making the
latter area absolutely inaccessible from
any roads leading into the boulevard
This would mean that If Arlington
County reached the road it would be
from either the Highway Bridge or
Aiexandria--a most absured situation
from the county'S point Of view.
Obstruction of View.
Tourists coming into Washington
Over the river route might well be con-
sidered as those pictured in cartoons
recently, showing a sightseeing bus with
the announcer saving IN terms Ladies
tracks and the factory sites lie the
beautiful Lee Mansion. the Arlington
National Cemetery and the beautiful
hills Of Arlington County
over the westerly route the first
glimpse Of the Nations Capital would
be had from Arlington Ridge. a point
freauented daily by persons for a view
o. the city, bird 's-eye view OF the
city nestled in the Valley Of the Poto-
mac an impression which would be a
lasting one in the minds Of the
tourists"
The resolution puts the chamber on
record IN favor Of the westerly route
for the boulevard. and ready 10 exert
every effort TO have the Government
designate IL as such
The board. On motion Of Ashton
Jones. recommended a change IN the
constitution providing for associate
members with annual dues OF SO and
an increase Of the dues Of active men,
berS from Si25o 10 $50. The recon-
mendation will De acted on at the next
quarterly meeting Of the organization.
