The party will include Maj. Gen.

and Thomas c. Ashburn, chairman of

Corporation.
To begin Immediately his study of
the projects along the river, the sec
rotary had with him q large number OF
maps and mass of data on possibilities
of relieving unemployment in such
places as projects can be Speeded up.
More gigantic in size than the. Pana-
ma Canal, the flood control works of
the Mississippi alone represent the
largest project in which the American
Government is now engaged.
Statistics at the War Department
show 233 200, 900 cubic yards of earth
were excavated for the canal, while
twice as much must be excavated for
the flood control works on the river.
The total cost of the two projects Is
about the same, aggregating some
$3.50, 000,0 900 for each.
Up to the present some $4,000, 900
has been expended or obligated on the
Mississippi, while many millions more
have been spent OH inland waterways

might otherwise be. Gov. Allen has
mitted by the Democrats themselves.
He was victorious over Cole, the Demo-

Walsh both carried the State.
Allen an Avowed Dry.
The Democrats are relying this year
particularly on the liquor question to
aid them and also on the unemploy-
ment and business depression in the
State. Gov. Allen in his inaugural adj
dress declared himself opposed to the
proposal that the baby Volstead act
the State prohibition enforcement law
be repealed. He aligned himself def
nitely with the drys thereby. Sentiment
in Massachusetts, appears to be strongly
wet, however, and the referendum this
Fall Is on the question of the repeal
of the State enforcement act. Two
years ago the State went wet" by
some 284, 900 votes in a referendum on
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment. Gov. Aliens declaration in the
face OF that vote gave the Democrats
high hope.
Indeed, few months ago, the stage
seemed well set in Massachusetts for
Democratic victories all along the line,
gubernatorial, senatorial and congress
sional. But the dissentions in the
Democratic ranks, the failure to put
forward the best material available, has
given the situation a different COM
plexion. The Republicans have plucked
up their courage and promise to make
a real fight. The Republicans. however,
also have internal disorders which
threaten to make trouble for their cam
didates next November.

SONS
TAKE TO A|RPLANES
First Lady Rises Early to
See Younger Son off
for California.

In their occasional aerial trips from
coast to coast, Herbert Hoover, Jr., ana
Allan Hoover, sons of the President, are
causing changes in the usual ordered
routine of the White House.
Since Herbert became q business
executive he uses an airplane more fire.
Quently In his trips between California
and washington. Now Allan, too. has
taken up fight. He recently went to
California by plane. Train schedules
are more conveniently arranged for
housesoldS. and Mrs. Hoover, who wish
ed TO see her young son OF, arose be-
fore daybreak to accompany him to the
field. Only few milk wagons were
astir as the shining White House car
glided down the cement drive.
The younger son of the President had
two causes for elation. It was his first
long journey by air and 1t marked his
release from the factory grind in New
Jersey, where he had been working as
part of his training In the Harvard
School of Business.
Prior to the trip, Allan enjoyed q
few days with his parents at the Presi-
dents camp on the Rapidan. There he
hiked, rode horseback or pitched horse
shoes. Now he is rounding out the
Summer with a vacation among old
Stanford friends.
BUSINESS brings HERBERT hoover, Jr.'
to Washington more frequently than
ever since he became president of the
Aeronautical Radio Co. Washington
society sees little of him, however. He
is too busy holding conferences with
aviation and radio officials.
A lover of the outdoors herself, MrS
Hoover apparently takes kindly to the
-mindedness of her two sons. Hell
visits with them TO the flying fields are
interspersed with trips to Girl Scout
camps. Sometimes she stays overnight
and sleeps in tent. These activities
together with much time spent at the
Presidents mountain camp, have kept
her physically fit through hot Sum.

HOOVER PLEDGES
HELD FULFILLED
G. 0. P. Committee Cites
Record of Achievements
of Administration.

The record of President Hoover as a
keeper Of party promises has been
equaled by few recent administrations,
according to a summary Of admins
tration accomplishments computed by
the Republican National Committee.
The summary, which lists in parallel
columns the party campaign pledges
and what the committee considers to
be the accomplishments of the admin
1stration, was made public at Repub-
Gcan headquarters today.
Recalling the Presidents statement
"Platform promises must not be empty
gestures" the compilation said re-
duction of income taxes of $3.50 600 600
for 1880 at Mr.. Hoover's recommends
ton was evidence that the party pledge
to reduce the tax burden" wherever
possible was being carried out.
Tariff Revision Promised.
Almost every plank in the platform
was dealt with in similar fashion. The
statement said the promise of neces-
sary revision of the tariff had been
fulfilled and that the ne wact had
given substantial aid to agriculture.
Emphasis was placed on the provision
enabling the Chief Executive to increase
or decrease duties so per cent where
necessary and on the reorganization OF
the Tariff Commission.
The committee said the four specific
promises to agriculture in the Kansas
City platform had been accomplished
by the creation of the Federal Farm
Board, increased tariff protection on
farm commodities, improvement OF in
land waterways and added Federal sup
port of highways.
The pledge for enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment was said to have
been carried out by the transfer of the
Prohibition Bureau to the Justice De-
partment, tie reorganization of dis
trict attorneys offices and arrangements
with Canada to tighten up liquor ex-
ports.
Law Enforcement Step.
President Hoover, the statement read,
had taken the national leadership in
arousing the country against lawless-
ness and had appointed the National
Law Enforcement Commission to make
an exhaustive examination of the Situa-
ton.
The summary further cited the fact
that the public debt had been re-
duced by an additional $l,l60, GOO, 900
since the beginning of the Hoover ad-
ministration; that through shifts in dt-
rections of expenditures the research
work of the Bureau of Mines has been
materially extended; that with view
to furnishing more effective railroad
service at lowest rates consistent with
proper maintenance and operation, the
Interstate Commerce Commission. at
the suggestion of the President, speeded
up its work on a tentative plan of
railroad consolidation, which has been
presented to Congress, and that tariff
revisions have been effected so as TO
maintain high wage scales in industry,
and in addition the administration at
the inception of the depression induced
industrialists to agree not to disturb the
level of wages.

HOOVER NAME AN INSPIRATION
INDROUGTIT HEALTH CAMPAIGN
President as Red Cross Head Is Directing Crusade
Against PelIagra Throughout Stricken Area.

Herbert Hoover, through its chairman,
John Barton Payne, they received their
call to drought duty--a request for q
recommended menu suitable to each
drought section, using the foods locally
available or which might still be grown
at this late date.
They will disperse Saturday, each one
prepared to deal with the situation in
her own state.
Since fresh foods play so great part
in prevention of pellagra. their general
orders will be to promote the growing
of beans, greens and in some warmer
sections tomatoes.
Greatest stress will be laid on grow
ing the greens--food for the cow that
must be encouraged to furnish milk
and for the hen that must be induced
to lay eggs as well as for the family.

RADIO SPELLING BEE
IS LISTED FOR MAY II
"Ladies of the Press" to Compete
With Male Champions Over
National Network. =

Another spelling bee, with Ladies of
the Press" competing against the cham
pionship team of the Gentlemen OF
the Press" will be broadcast by the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. from the audi
torium of the National Press Club Sat
urday night, May II.
This spelling bee is the outgrowth OF
the recent contest in which members OF
the National Press Club won over a
Representatives. Several days ago the
Womans National Press Club challenged
the victorS.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth, wife of the
Speaker of the House and daughter OF
the late President Roosevelt, has accepted
a post as judge of the contest, as has
Mrs. Alfred j. BroSseau, former preS1-
dent general of. the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Acceptance by the mems team OF the
challenge of the woman correspondents
came with considerable reluctance, ac-
cording to Margaret Poe Hart OF The
Evening Star, who is chairman of the
entertainment committee of the wom-
ems club. She admits that the fact that
her brother, Lee Poe Hart, of the New
York Journal of Commerce, who occu-
pies post similar to hers in the Ma
tional Press Club, had considerable
bearing on the decision to yield to the
challenge. Miss Hart and her brother
are organizing their respective teams
and expect to complete their lineup in
q day or so.
To insure Victory, the Women's Press
Club has been conducting elimination
contests among its members. The last
of these contests will be held Tuesday.
In addition, the club has invited Ruth
Hanna Mccormick, Representative and
Republican nominee for the Senate from
Illinois, and Mrs. Frances Parkington
Reyes, wife of Senator Keyes Of New
Hampshire, to join it's team.

of the disclosure that the Department
