H0OVER'S TRIP
OVER WEEKEND

WASHINGTON, April 81. UP)-
A choppy overnight return voyage
in a small boat brought President
Hoover to the close today of a
somewhat exciting weekend expert
ence with the elements up and
down the Potomac.
The President and Mrs. Hoover,
and their small party arrived back
in the capital at 9 a. m.
From the time he left Washing
ton Saturday in a stiff breeze, the
Chief Executive found himself, his
party and his 100-foot inspection
boat of the commerce department
fighting wind, rain, lightning and
for the Potomac river-heavy seas.
Half the time there was bright,
warm sunshine like there was Sun
day afternoon when he disembarked
from the Sequoia to celebrate the
324th anniversary of the landing of
the Cavaliers on the sand dune
desert of Cape Henry, Va, % miles
from Norfolk. But the other half
was worse than had been consid-
cred possible, like the climax of the
trip. when a thunderstorm broke up
the celebration as a clergyman was
reciting the Lords Prayer.

Rival Thugs.

CAIRO, N. Y, April 81. U.P)-The
amazing luck which has saved Jack
6egs) Diamond from assassination
twice before in his unsteady gang
land career came to his aid again
today when he emerged alive,
though severely wounded, from a
terrific volley of enemy gunfire.
A midnight ambuscade in a Cat
skill mountain roadhouse was the
latest trap set for the New York
underworld chief by the forces who
long since have marked him for
death. But, by the narrowest of
margins. this attempt failed like the
others that have been made on Dia-
mond's strangely charmed life.
Ten charges of buckshot blazed
from a sawed off shotgun as the
young Broadway beer runner walked
out on the porch of the Saratoga
Inn as he reeled backward. The
others, which would have finished
him. splintered the door through
which he passed.
The assailant, unknown, escaped
into the darkness.
Scarcely six months ago Diamond
was Shot four times and left for
dead IN the Monticello hotel in New
York by two men who he unwitting-
~ admitted to his room. Surgeons
said he had a chance in a hundred
TO survive. Thin, emaciated and
tubercular, he was in no condition
to resist death But he fought it
with a determination SO strong that
he recovered and several weeks later
was released.
Since that time re has remained
almost in seclusion in the strongly
guarded house at AGRA, six miles
from here, that is referred to as his

underworld has expected another
attempt on his life. Having come

stop there. Diamond, whose noto-
riety has spread throughout the
globe, probably knew it would be
useless to flee. He had tried that
once before, and no European coun-
try would admit him.
Last night he was sitting with a
party of three in the roadhouse, To-
Gated mile and half from town.
