Campaigners who have been in North
Dakota and Montana believe that the
swing in both those States Is now
toward Hoover and away from Smith.
In North Dakota resentment is felt
against Mr.. Hoover and the Republican
administration because of their oppo-
sition to the McNary- Haugen farm bill
1t runs back to the war days. when
Hoover was food administrator, too.
Both the Republican Senators, Nye and
Frazier, are out for Hoover. and, While
some of their friends among the
Non-Partisan Leaguers are criticizing
them for taking this position, they are
making their influence felt. In North
Dakota the so-called religious issue is
raising its head as we'll as in more
Southern States. The Democratic can
didate for governor, who was a Repub-
lican, and is now serving as governor
owing to the fact that he was lieu

CURE TO END CURE OF
TUBERCULOSIS URGED
Discharged Patients Need Close
Watch, Says Specialist


BIZ Science Serticc
PORTLAND, Ore, June 19.-The
need for careful supervision of tub
erculosis patients discharged from
sanatoriums as cured was described
as an economic as we'll as a socio-
logic need by DR.. H. Longstreet
Taylor of st. Paul in the presi-
Dental address before the annual
meeting of the National Tubercu-
losis Association which opened here
today.
Every relapse doubles the original
cost of the care of the patient, a
burden that generally falls on the
commr1ity at large, said DR.. Tay-
yor A third period of treatment,
the "cure to end the cure was
recommended as having but trihing
ccsS compared to that of caring for
relapses.
Figures from the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company showed
that of 896 patients who had this
after-care, 80 percent we're at work
seven years after discharge from
the sanatorium. On the other
hand, a survey of unsupervised
patients in New York City revealed
that So percent had suffered relapses
within one year after leaving the
Sanatoriunl.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR

controversy which may find its way
into the courts is in prospect here
as a result of nomination of Travis
B. Williams for probate judge, which
includes duties of a juvenile court
judge.
The general law establishing
juvenile courts in Indiana requires
that their judges be 40 years old
and fathers. Williams is only SO
and is not a father. However, a
special bill creating the local pro-
bate juvenile court made no men
ton of the age-parenthood qualifl-
cation.
Some attorneys here declare the
general law will govern, but others
take the veiw that the local court
is subject only to the special act
creating it.

RESCUE PLANE

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June
19.-General Unberto Mobile, and
his group of five waiting rescue on
perilouS ice in the North, again
watched relief approach and depart
without their position being dis
covered, it became known today.
Captain H. Rnser-Larsen and
Lieutenant Leutzow- Holm flew with
in two kilometers of the ice en-
campment Monday but failed to
sight Mobile and his five aids. The
planes we're sighted by Mobile, how
ever.
The two Norwegian fliers returned
this morning to the steamer Bra
ganZa after their accommodating
tour over the district where Mobiles
ice refuge is floating They had been
unable to sight Mobile although they
were within two kilometers of the
lost men.
Overlooked Second Time
Later it was learned, through
radio advices. that Mobile had
sighted the fliers just as he had
sighted them as they passed over
his position Sunday.
The first sight Of relief these men
saw was Sunday. Then they
watched Lieutenant Leutzow- Holm,
and Captain Riiser-Larsen fly over
head.
General Mobile and his aids
shouted. They waved their arms
frantically from their ice prison
They made every gesture possible
to attract the flyers.
But they failed, the planes sped on
s--and cne chance of rescue had
gone by.
Keeps Up Radio Contact
The Citta Di Milano is attempt
ing regular contact with Mobiles
wireless and is aiding in directing
the fliers.
Major Prenzo, Italian ace, has ar
rived at Tromsoe prepared to rush
on to the aid of his countrymen
stranded on the frozen arctic wastes.
He probably will proceed immedi-
ately to Kings Bay.
Major Maddalena, the other Ital-
Ian flier, already has arrived here.
Roald Amundsen, the explorer,
with Commandant Guilbaud of the
French air service and Lieutenant
Dietrichson will soon start north
from Oslo. 1t was conceded posi-
bic they might fly direct to Mobiles
position rather than make an in
termediary stop at Kings Bay.
