SOCIAL EVENTS
OF FIRST LADY
WIN APPROVAL
lnformaIity of Mrs. Hoover
Continues in New
Position.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April Mrs.
Herbert Hoover has captivated
Washington with the new note Of
neighborly informality which has
marked her first month as mistress
Of the White House.
Despite the demands upon her
time and energy incident to the in
auguration and the social response
bilities of initiating the new ad-
ministration.
These old friends, few OF whom
have been her intimates since COL
lege days, find the First Lady obvi
ouSly unaWed by the responsibility
of social mentor of the capital.
Her proficiency as a hostess was
certified to the capital beyond chal-
lenge when tea-table gossip chron-
icled the story of her having estab-
lished a 4 o'clock tea as a regular
daily institution on the battlestips
Maryland and Utah during the
Latin-American good will tour.
The only woman on the man-o'-
war, save for her personal secretary,
Mrs. Hoover set about her tea pro-
gram as if she had all Washington
to make up her company. The ease
with which she could persuade al
most any man Of the sea to take
his place before the silver tea service
and pour for the little group of
twelve or fifteen is told in naval
folklore today.
Mrs. Hoover'S aversion to excessive
formality is epitomized in her re-
fusal to have secret service man at
her side constantly. Only when she
appears in public are the secret
service operative at her side.
Mrs. Hoover personally directs the
housekeeping at the executive man
sion, but does not involve herself
in the myriad details of manage
ment as have several of her prede-
ceSsorS. Like her husband, she con-
fines her administrative" activi-
ties to the enunciation of broad gen.
eral policies" regarding table and
daily program and leaves details to
her staff.
A staff of three woman secretaries
assists Mrs. Hoover in her varied
activities. Two of these, Miss Ruth
FesSler and Miss Mildred hall, she
took into the White House with her
from her former home. Miss Jane
Randolph, who served Mrs. Coolidge
as social secretary, has also been
retained.

TURKISH TROOPS MAY

BR United Press
JERUSALEM, April 1.-Concen-

Both Turks and Wahabi tribes

AVIATOR PLANS
RELIEF TRIP TO
ARCTIC ISLAND
TrapperS Marooned Three
Years in Rich Land
of Death

BN Cn3te1 Press
SAN FRANCISCO, April IAN
American aviator today awaited
permission of United States au-
thorities to make a flight from
Alaska to Wrangel island, the Land
Of death" far north of the Arctic
circle, so that he might carry cheer
TO a little Soviet colony that has
been isolated three years.
Noel Wien, ace of the Arctic pilots,
has made application for the permit
and weather conditions for the 75O-
mile journey are ideal, United Press
dispatches from Alaska said.
He realized, however, that his
hazardous journey, a financial VEN
ture as we'll as one of mercy, might
be delayed, due to an international
dispute that has been waged by the
United States, England and Russia
for many years. each claiming rights
to the island.
American Evicted by Soviet
Charles Well, accompanied by
thirteen Eskimos, carried the A1nerl-
can flag into the polar region and
seemed about to succeed when he
was eYicted by a soviet gunboat in
1924. He died of pneumonia a short
time later.
In 1921 Canadian, Allan Craw-
ford. son of Toronto professor,
aided by three citizens Of the
United States and Ada Blackjack,
Eskimo seamstress, went to the ter
ritory north of the SEVENTEEN paral-
lei but all persisted except the
woman.
The main difficulty encountered
by the early colonies was that their
members could not survive the Bit
terIy cold storms until they could
build substantial houses.
This trouble was not encountered
by the present group on the island,
composed of soviet trappers, accord
ing to John Borden, millionaire eX-
plorer. who sighted their small vii
Iage during a cruise on his yacht in
1927. a year after they had estab-
iished 1t.
Riches in Fur on Island
Wien recently answered a call for
help from the soviet provision ship
Eusif, icebouud off North Cape, ST.
IBERIA. and flew over a round trip
of 500 miles never traversed by air
before so that the crew might have
food and medicine.
When he returned he brought
100000 worth of furs from the YES
sci. and it is anticipated the set
lers OF Wrangel Island have accu-
mulated considerably more than this.
The island is about $50 miles
north @ where the Elisif has been
stranGeI FOR many months and the
community probably will have to
wait Il least six months for new
companionship if the pilot fails to
obtain his license.

An appeal for Christmas gifts for the

has been sent throughout the Nation by
Robert r. Motion, principal of Tuskegee
Institute, Alabama, which this year
again will act as distributor for such
gifts.

Notion, telling of the need In the South,
and in spite of the falling of in pro-
duction the price of cotton Is still low.
This condition has brought about much
suffering in rural life and homes in
financial ways and there will be many
hearts deprived of the real Christmas
cheer because of the absence of reces-
stiles as well as toys.
We feel that our friends will be glad
of the opportunity to contribute some
thing toward the bringing of happiness
to many Of these homes that otherwise
might be quite dreary during the holi-
day season.
"Tuskegee Institute will be glad to
serve again this year, as in previous
years, as distributing center for these
gifts and place them where they are
most needed and where they will be
most sincerely appreciated"
