FOR CAMP AICN
300 at Pep Session Cheer
FeSs Prediction Hoover
viii Be Reelected.

BIZ Scrfpps-Hosoord Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Un-
der the direction Of Executive Di-
rector Robert II. Lucas, the Repub-
hcan national committee today is
Continuing a pep meeting" in an
ticipation Of next years presiden-
tial campaign.
Lucas has assembled 300 hand
picked young Republican men and
women at the conference Of Young
Republicans for the purpose, as he
told them, Of conducting a "prac-
tical discussion of the WAYS of
building up Republican army"
Another purpose is to arouse Repub-
lican enthusiasm and to counter
act the aggressive efforts now being
made by Democrats throughout the
country.
Most of the delegates are women
enthusiastic, good-looking and
we'll dressed.
AT the end Of their conference
late today they will go to the White
House to be received by the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hoover, and tonight
there will be banquet to be fol-
lowed by a dance-a new wrinkle, in
political entertaining. In addition,
Lucas provided sightseeing oppor-
tunities for the visitors.
The keynote Of the conference
was sounded by Senator Simeon D.
Tess Of Ohio, who aroused greater
enthusiasm than he did as key
noter at the Republican conven-
ton in Kansas City three years ago.
Fess brought the delegates to their
feet with a declaration that when
the American people realize the OBJ
legation they owe to President Hoo
yer he not only will be unanimously
renominated, but he will be over
whelmingly elected"
Fess asserted that "the time will
come when the Presidents service
in this hour Of worldwide distress
will be fully appreciated"
He discarded a prepared manu-
script discussing the tariff and
launched himself into a practical
discussion of Republican politics, as
he views it.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June IA
bill to remap Illinois congressional
districts to make the vote Of a Chi
cagoan equal to that Of downstate
citizen was sent today to the senate
after Republicans united to pass it
through the house.
Administration followers who
drew up the plan predicted the bill
would pass in the senate more east
ly than it did in the house, where
arguments were marked by fist
fights on the floor, Kissing, booing,
hurting of books and a Democratic
f1libuster which threatened to tie
up proceedings indefinitely.
The bill provides for the first re-
mapping Of congressional districts
in more than twenty years. It will
give the Chicago metropolitan area
with 81 per cent of the states popu-
lation fourteen congressional seats.
Down state voters who represent 43
per cent of the total population, will
elect thirteen congressman.

The skeptics society was given
some new statistics to ponder
today.
The United States weather
bureau cast up its accounts for
last year and pointed with
pride to a record of 89.6 per
cent accuracy for its entire
forecasting service. The figure
was arrived at after a detailed
comparison of all the years
forecasts with the actual con-

In August the weather bu-
reau will put into use new

tween forecasting points. This
is expected to make possible
even more accurate predictions,

The sealing ship disaster among the
moving ice packs of Northern New

of many men is virtually a real life
re-enactment of the motion picture
drama filmed there year ago by
Varick Frissell, missing leader OF the

the seal hunting wastes to obtain addl-

who played the lead in the picture, took
the warnings lightly. Miss Huntington,
a former STAGE actress here now in pic

a camera in White Thunder" A year
ago she accompanied the 27-year-old
director and his party as far as st.
Johns, where the romantic sequences OF
the story were made.
Miss Huntington feels it was unnecss-
sary for Frissell to make this trip, which
may have cost him his life. Frissell
brought his picture here last Fall and
made an unsuccessful attempt to sell it
to one of the major companies.

its only weakness, but that might have
