TARIFF AND HOOVER
HELD Chief ISSUES
Representative Wood De-
CIares in Broadcast Dry
Issue Is Not General.

The tariff and President Hoover's
administration are the big issues in the
congressional campaign, Representative
Will r. Wood of Indiana, chairman of
the Republican Congressional Campaign
Committee, said in a radio speech over
the Nationwide chain of the Columbia
Broadcasting System last night.
There are collateral issues in this
campaign, as there are in every cam
paign," he added I'm some localities
the eighteenth amendment or the Vol
stead act is being agitated. These coll
lateral questions are not questions be-
tween the parties. In some spots DEM
ocrsts are dry and in other spots sop
ping wet This likewise is true of Re-
publicans"
Fears Democratic House.
Mr.. Wood said election Of a Demo-
cratic House of Representatives would
mean that the hands of the President
would be tied, that he would be harassed
at every turn, that disorder would en-
sue"
Let us hope we may avoid this pos
sible calamity" he continued My APP
peal to you is to vote for Republican
candidates for Congress, support the
President, give him a chance to sus-
avoid destructive foreign competition,
which would surely come with Demo-
cratic success"
Mr.. Wood asserted that Mr.. Hoover
today is the same man of courage,
devotion and success that he was in
1928 when he was elected President of
the United States"
The Republican platform pledges Of
1929" he added, "have been very large
ly carried out. Every effort has been
made to fulfill party promises Presi-
dent Hoover is entitled under all the
rules of the game, to be supported in
1880 with a Republican Congress so
that he may have a fair chance to
carry on and complete the fulfillment
of pledges made two years ago."
Blames Unemployment on Democrats.
The tariff. Wood said, lis to the
prosperity of our Government what
bread and butter is to the average
household real necessity" He added
that lowering the tariff always causes
American labor, American industry and
the American farmer to compete with
foreign countries and always creates
unemployment.
These same Democratic leaders who
now rejoice because of some unemploy-
ment in this country" he continued,
ARE themselves largely responsible for
this condition, because of their attitude
in holding up and delaying the passage
Of the last tariff bill for more than
year."

C0SNIC RAY STORY
 DENIED BY PAPER
Journal of Cancer Research Dis
 puteS Prof. JOly's Theory

Vienna, Dec. 19 GPl-Discovery of a ray, believed 10 come from some of the stars in the milky way which pierces 80 inches Of leaden plate with a loss of only half it's strength and which is ten times an penetra- tive as the strongest radium ray was claimed today by Professor " +. Hess of this city.
 On paper read before the Vienna Chemical and Physical So- ciety, Professor Hess, announcing his find, said that this great force must undoubtedly be Of extra-tcr- restrial origin, since it's intensity increases with distance from the earth's surface.
 He believes the rays emanatc from fixed stars, probably those Of more recent formation found in the milky way, and only to q small extent on the fixed star known as the sun. They appear to he depend- ent on sidereal time, with the sea- sons, air pressure, storms and prob- ably terrestrial magnetism also in- fIuencing them.
 Professor Hess believes the wave length of the rays to be unbeliev- ably short, probably one hundred millionth that of the ultra violet ray and one thousandth that of ra- dium rays He explained that his discovery was a consequence of re- cent research in the field of cosmlC ultra radiation.
 The purported discovery has caus ed a sensation among scientists here.

Bromley Forced to Turn Back to
 Japan By Thick Fog On Pacific Route After 2,4OO Mile Flight

Great Circle route to Tacoma.
 Shortly after the plane left the sandy runway of Samishiro Beach it encountered fog, rain and head winds over the Kurile island.
 Headwinds and adverse weather halted the progress Of the big ver- million ship, which was capable of flying less than 100 miles an hour, and Bromley apparently realized the futility of trying to reach Ia coma and turned back.
 First intimation he was returning came when the radio operator of the Dollar liner President Taft, docked in Yokohama harbor, inter cepted a message saying the plane had passed Cape Lopatka, south ernmost point of the kamchatka Peninsula. late Sunday afternoon.
 Interpreter Sent Them
 After Bromley and Gatty landed on the cape, the American Embassy dispatched an interpreter to Shitsu- kari to aid the fliers. Their return involved official Complications be- cause Shitsukari is near the Omin- ato Naval base and within the 45 mile zone over which flying is for- bidden.
 Bromley had permit to fly from Japan, but lacked permission to land in the island and f1iers and plane must be examined to satisfy au- thorities the regulations were not violated.
 Although disagreeable develop nent was unlikely, Japanese off cialdom's strict adherence to the letter of regulations, which often- times has been carried to ludicrous extremes. must be satisfied.
