GRAF ZEPPELIN MAY FLY OVER
 ARCTIC REGION
Polar Exploration Trip Not Entirely Abandoned,
 It Is Indicated

FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Dec. 26.- Differences of opinion as to the feasibility of the proposed flight of the Graf Zeppelin to the Polar re- gions next year developed between Capt. Eckener and Capt. Burns, Secretary of the Aero Arctic Society which is sponsoring the flight.
 Capt. Eckener said he no longer expected to make the flight as neither the Zeppelin Company nor the Arctic Aero Society was able to secure insurance.
 Capt. Burns said the project was by no means off.
 q have every reason to believe our negotiations with British in- surance companies will prove suc- cessful," Capt. Burns said.
 Last Monday a dispatch from Berlin stated the Zeppelin flight to the Arctic had been cancelled, the announcement at that time hay ing been made from the Zeppelin Company office.

Peculiar 1929 Political Pattern
 Studied as 1880 Elections Loom
By JAMES L. WEST GA. P. Staff yvriterl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Politl cal soothsayers turn now to th crystal formed by the criss-crosa events of 1929 in the hope of des- crying what lies in store for party fortunes in the forthcoming con- gressionaI elections.
 Looming largest within the mys- tic ball is the peculiar pattern formed by developments in the senate tariff revision controversy and the routing of the anti-Smith Democratic Republican coalition in the election of an old-line Demo- crat as Governor of Virginia.
 What effect each is to have in the selection of new house of representative and one-third of the members of the Senate next Mo- vember is the question to which these intent observers seek an answer.
 Will the tariff fight, which has thrown a gulf between the North western Senators and the President cause a political upheaval eom- parable to some of those which, in the past, followed in the wake of general tariff revision?
 Political Puzzles Does the result In the Virginia Gubernatorial election portend a sway of the pendulum which will erase gains in the House which the Republicans made in the Old De- minion and several other southern states little more than a year ago as Hoover split the solid south for the first time since recon 3truction days?
 Along with these go puzzles as to the effect of other, although lesser. political events of the passing year. There is the matter of the Presi- dents effort to consolidate his southern gains by forming coalition patronage committees made up of anti-Smith Democrats md Republi- cans and house cleaning within she Republican organizations in some of the states of Dixie Search for Answer There also is search for an an- swer to the question of to what entent national political feeling was expressed in the off-year 1929 elections in which the Democrats held the Kentucky legislature, re- elected a mayor of New York City and put into office mayors in a number of normally Republican cities in Indiana.
 Events in the Senate have been variously translated by political stu dents. They have consisted first in disagreement between the north western Republican Senators, in- cluding Borah, of Idaho and Brook hart, of Iowa. and President Hoo yer principally on the tariff, and secondly in the formation of an independent bloc around Borah, La Toilette and Norris.

 This bloc has formed coalition with the Democrats similar to that existing just before the 1924 cleo tions and when a tax revision ! !-----------------------

PRESIDENT HOOVER
 ASSISTS FIREMEN
Fire Starts During Enter tainment for Children
 Defective Flue Cause

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. Be- Fire Christmas Eve ruined the EX- ccusive Offices of the White House in the most spectacular blaze from a national viewpoint, since 1872.
 The blaze started while the Presi- dent and his family were entertain ing a party of children of the White House Staff, in the executive wing and not more than 100 feet from the Presidents living quar- ters.
 The flames blazed up. The President was in danger as there was a possibility that he might have been struck by the unruly fire hose.
 The Executive wing is small, one-story structure on the west end of the Executive Mansion abutting the State Department and connect ed with the White House by cov- cred corridor.
 The fire was discovered at 8:15 o'clock in the evening, but as late at $40 o'clock, smoke was pouring out of the windows and the fire men were ripping into the walls to find the source of the blaze. Water was poured into the building from 30 nozzles.
 The President was not in the least excited.
 Col. U. s. Grant, the third Building Superintendent, said the ceiling, roof, floors and plaster walls will have to be replaced with estimated damages of $60,000 being conservative. An appropriation bJ Congress is necessary to rebuild the offices. There was no insurance
 The fire is believed to have been started by a short circuit.
 After the excitement, the Hoo- vers retired.
 Papers and most of the furniture were saved, the President and his son Allen assisting in the rescue work.

CRUSADER FOR

Cool Dress for Men Idea Is

BY JULIUS FRANDSEN
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 30.-W. o.
Saunders, apostle of cool dress for
men, went back to his home town
Of Elizabeth City, N. c., today with
his mission in New York accom-
plished-he had worn his paiamas
on a stroll down smart Fifth ave-
nue.; he had shown Broadway how
to be comfortable, or less uncom-
Portable, when thermometers over
the sizzling sidewalks were near the
100-degree mark.
New York wasn't shocked! it was
amused.
1t didn't jeer the new style or
its champion; it was for the most
part merely curious.
Some voiced hearty approval of
the natty pajamas when they
learned that Saunders was in ear
nest. that it wasn't an advertising
stunt or part of motion picture.
After HI had gone back to his
hotel Monday night to pack. Saun-
GERS summed up the results of his
sally by saying he had shown that
no man needs to be afraid to wear
paJamaS on the street in New York "
He thought it was the photo
graphers with him that attracted
the crowds, rather than his attire
saunders was the center of a
throng all the way from his hotel

hour and then took an elevated
train downtown. On the train. he
said, scarcely a person noticed him.
There will be no rapid change

terribly conservative.
But gradually they will come
around to my views.
THE beauty of pajamas is that
most men already are accustomed
to wearing them.

the ordinary man can afford. While
we are developing a bigger city in

Miller pointed out the problem Of

not being properly met and said
Indianapolis is so per cent under

1T is the middle class man whose
problem is really perplexing' Miller
