c. O.P. HEADS PLAN
PUBLICITY DRIVE.
Every Accomplishment of Ad-
ministration to Be Given to
Public in Many Ways.

With anxious fingers on the Nations
pulse to determine every culver and
waver of public sentiment in the face of
the coming political campaigns, Repub-
lican administration leaders are COM
piling a comprehensive fund of infor-
nation. The information, which is
being strained through every official
channel of the governmental structure.
will be disseminated throughout the
land in an effort to acquaint the people
with what Mr.. Hoover's party steersmen
believe are the accomplishments made
since his Inauguration.
The stupendous task of seeking out
every favorable fact relating to the adj
ministrstion of the Nations affairs has
been going on now for several weeks.
1t was begun when Walter H. Newton,
President Hoover's secretary, in charge
of political contacts, broadcast word to
every department and bureau head in
the governmental service that the
White House wanted a complete and
minute report on their activities and
accomplishments since March 4, 1929.
These heads were instructed to send the
request down to every division and Sec
ton head, so that the entire govern
mental structure will be honeycombed.
This undertaking was begun when
the President consented to the demands
of his party leaders to do some frank
footing on their own horn to offset
the blasts that have been directed at
the Hoover administration by oppos-
ing parties Now that the reports are
coming in to the White House, they
are being carted off to the publicity
headquarters of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, where corps of skilled
and sympathetic writer's are cleaning
them for material to be released In
newspaper stories, radio speeches and
the old-fashioned stumping oratory.
Republican campaign speakers the
country over will be armed with this
selected data so that they may sing to
the people everywhere the praises of
President Hoover as the Nations helms
man. In this campaign in the interest
of republicaniSm the Hoover party in
tends to make use of every known
method of communication and informa-
ton spreading. And while the flow of
information runs deep and wide, the
mass of facts and figures on accom-
plishments that now are being collected
will be published in book form and
made available to any one DESTROYS OF
studying Mr.. Hoover's success as Presi-
dent.

The possibility that deportation pro-

of the men arrested was suggested but
official comment was not forthcoming

PRESIDENT DEFENDS
COMMISSION POLICY
Nothing New as Governmental Ne
cessity, Hoover Points Out,
Citing Predecessors.

In answer to comment regarding the
tendency on his part to appoint tenn
porary committees and commissions for
advisory fact-finding purposes, Presi-
dent Hoover today called attention to
the fact that this is nothing new as q
governmental necessity.
He pointed out that President Roose-
welt created lot temporary commits
sions, President Taft, SO; President
Wilson, 100, exclusive of wartime
activities; President Harding, ~, and
President Coolidge, 1l8.
In his comment upon this subject,
Mr.. Hoover did not say how many he
had appointed. but the unoficial figure
Is understood to be 10.
In further defense of the appoint
ment OF temporary committees and
commissions, President Hoover said
las we need the best brains of the
country to assist in the Government
and in the coordination Of public af-
fairs, shall appoint others. The will
ineness of our people Of specialized
knowledge TO give such voluntary serv-
Ice as this requires is one Of the most
gratifying qualities IN cttisenAhip."

He is native of Virginia.
The Y. M. G. A. representative at

Although Claudius H. Huston is TO
retire as leader of the Republican Ma
tional Committee on August z, indica-
lions were current today that his sue
cessor would not be selected for some
months.
In the meantime, Robert Lucas of
Kentucky, who became commissioner
Of internal revenue several months ago.
is slated to take over the active cam
paign for the approaching congress
sional elections as chairman of the
Executive Committee of the party, a
post which Mr.. Huston holds ex-officio
in addition to his Craftsmanship OF the
major committee.
Original Plan Changed.
The change in the original plan of
procedure under which Senator FesS OF
Ohio, the personal choice of President
Hoover, would have been elected at the
meeting of the Executive Committee
August Z to succeed Mr.. Huston fol-
lowed determination by party leaders
that the Executive Committee is not
empowered to elect a chairman of the
National Committee. This, the high
command of the party now holds, can
be done only by the entire committee.
Although in March, 1929, the execu-
tive committee was authorized by the
major committee to fill vacancies.
precedent for the present attitude has
been found in the circumstances sur
roundingf the retirement of DR.. Hubert
Work as chairman. DR.. Work an
nounced during the Summer of 1929
that he would resign, but his resigna-
ton was not accepted, and Mr.. Huston
was elected until September, when the
entire committee was called together
for the purpose. The bylaws change is
interpreted as applying only to filling
vacancies in the committees personnel.
President in Accord.
The present alignment, under which
Mr.. Lucas would carry on the congress
sional campaign and the election of Mr..
Huston's successor would be delayed,
has the approval of President Hoover,
1t was said, and has been Endorsed gen.
orally by party leaders who have studied
the question of the executive commit
tees jurisdiction.
Some opposition to the choice of
Senator Tess has been reported since his
powerful support for the post became
apparent. The decision to delay his
election has met with the approval Of
some who are DESTROYS Of avoiding
further conflict within the party.
