United Press stair correspondent
LOS ANGELES, July 81. U.Pl-
It's the old case of school teacher
versus city hall when it comes to
fighting it out for supremacy in the
girls Olympic high jumping this
year.
At this writing 1t appears to be
between two Woodworking girls,
Caroline Gisolf of Holland, school
teacher, and Helma Noette of Ger
many, city hall worker.
-Four years ago the two CONT
mental lasses made their names
known at Amsterdam, Caroline with
second place and Helma with sixth.
This year, we'll
"I think Caroline Gisolf will be
first" said her friend, Helma. "As
for second place, don't think, I
only hope"
But according to Caroline: "I
haven't been able to train as we'll
as I should. A strained leg muscle
keeps me from Jumping"
Tall and blonde, Caroline is the
Wagnerian Brunhide and Helma
the Sieglinde. But only in their
jumping, more a hobby than a
vocation, do they fit into the Ath-
letic pattern of the Valkyries. In
their regular occupations, Bruen-
hide teaches school in the Hague
and Sieglinde works in the city
hall of Dusseldorf.
I'm my school teaching, I am
what you call a substitute" said
Caroline. my classes include chill
dren six to eight years old and I
teach them almost everything.
I'm anxious to see the football
game after the Olympics. In Hol-
land football is popular but it is
very different than American
football"
The flaxen-haired Noette re-
fleets the peaceful, cultural back
ground of the Rhineland.
1--WE German athletes find your
weather makes us always sleepy.
Only when we practice do we feel
energetic"
She started high jumping in 1926
under the instruction of a friend
living at her house.
I'm practice have equalled the
new worlds record of 1.62 meters
made by Miss Gislof four weeks
ago in the Olympic trials. Pm not
nervous over the games, but I'll
be glad if I am a little excited on
the day of the contests. 1t helps
me to jump better"
Babe Didrickson, confident Dallas,
Tex, athlete who takes her broad
jumping along with javelin, throw
ing and hurdling races, doesn't
think anyone ought to overlook the
American team, especially herself.
She jumps like man and expects
to do pretty we'll
II guess I just have the natural
ability to take up a lot of sports.
Anything think I'll like, my
coach, M. j. McCombs, teaches me
how to do. After this years Olym-
pics, I'm going to go after the ma
tional open golf championship"
Her golf experience is a matter of
months, not years.
Call my life I've been a tom-boy.
I'm through high school now and
I'd like to go to college here this
winter and take physical education.
But I don't know"

 HAILED BY DELEGATES

CHICAGO, June 16, (P-The 19 word silver plank in the Republi- can platform was hailed by dele gates from silver producing sec tions as a distinct victory although not as inclusive as some had hoped. The plank reads:
 we favor the calling of an in ternational conference for the con- sideration of monetary matters in- cluding the position of silver"
 Other features in the platform in addition to prohibition, includ- ed the endorsement of Hoover leadership in the economic crisis; emergency loans to states, unem- ployment relief, revision of the banking laws to protect depositors, tariff protection for national re- sources including products fro m forests, farms and oil wells; par ticipation in the world court, rigid laws against gangsters, racketeers and kidnappers, was the admins tration's hand-faShioned platform which bore stamp of Hoover poli- cies from start to finish.
 Members of the Presidents cab lnet personally attended to the drafting and took command of the resolutions committee to see this handiwork was safely sent to the convention.
 Aside from the prohibition plank there was little argument.
 The committee plank regarding Alaska read:
 We favor a policy giving to the people of Alaska the widest pos- sible territorial self-government and selection, so far as is possible, of bonafide residents for positions in that Territory, and placing it's citizens on an equality with this in the several states"

HOOVER IS IDEAL
 STANDARD BEARER.
 DECLARES 0LD FRIEND

CHICAGO, June Is, (P)-PreSl- dent Hoover was pictured as the ideal standard bearer of the Re- publican party by Joseph L. Scott of California, his long time friend, in nominating him for President. He told the delegates that Hoover is "past master in that greatest of ali branches, engineering; that I like to think of it as human en- gineering. He is the man who has given and is giving his time, energy and his whole being in service and in behalf of his fellow man. He is the ideal standard bearer of the Republican party, believing in it's principals. His life typifies spirit ual values, exemplifying undaunted courage and a real American.
 Sprung from the grass roots of the nation, he has been weighed in the balance and not found want ing because he has modestly and fervently fulfilled his pledges. His shield is untarnished and his head unbowed. We nominate him and give him to you as your candidate, our great California Hoover"
 L. B. Sandblast, of the Portland, Oregon, nominated Joseph France of Maryland for president saying:
 If you nominate this man you will have advanced the interests of this republic through certain victory next November for the party"
 Scott's nomination speech caused noisy demonstra tion and the con- vention marched in a long and brilliant parade in honor of the Californian, who led, while all shouted and danced as on a holiday parade

CHAIRMAN G, 0,P, MEET SAYS REPUBLICANS ONLY
 PARTY CAPABLE RULING

CHICAGO, June 16.-The second session of the convention opened at 11:52 yesterday with Senator Dickinson, as temporary chairman. Representative Shell was chosen permanent chairman. He told the delegates that the solidarity of their party lin the crisis means salvation for uS." He alternately denounced the Democrats and praised Hoover, but like Dickinson in his keynote speech Tues day did not mention prohibition.
 By trial in actual responsibili- ty of conducting government the Republican party became capable of governing" he said. Outside of the Republican party is confu- sion and chaos with only sound united public sentiment represent ed in this convention. The Demo- cratic party is fatally weak be- cause it is utterly lacking in team work"
 Shell said the Democrats placed in control of the House did we'll enough as long as they followed Hoover, but once they set out to carry forward their own program they exhibited colossal incapacity, hopeless division and disintegra- tion with the result there was a total collapse of their party ma chinery.
 "The Democratic party is a mob of feud factions unable to bring order out of chaos in their own ranks. How can it be expected to maintain order in government if this country is to be governed with judgment and prudence?"continu- ed She'll "The Republican party must do the job."
 Taking up the quickstep, the Re- publicans marched and shouted in 8 20-minute demonstration for Hoover as Shell paid tribute to the President. The demonstrators were led by Rolph and included the Wisconsin delegates for the first time in 30 years. and which in the convention adopted the report of it's credentials committee seat ing Hoover delegates. It was urged that the delegations from South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia come over.
 McGlinn, member of the Wash ington State delegation on the rules committee, reported that Alaska had won an additional vote in the convention. After a battle it was decided that Alaska should have three instead of two votes. As a result Carl Theile, secretary to Governor Parks, was assured by the Washington delegate of the support of Alaska's home rule plank in the resolution committee.

WELCOME, LOS ANGELENOS

The welcome usually accorded the stranger within the gates may take on greater significance in extending the hand of friendship to the Los An gees Chamber of Commerce. It is welcome which at once recognizes the rapidly growing acquan- tance and friendship between peoples and at the same time carries with it mented applause for spirit of achievement
 For no city in the United States has accom- plished more in material and ethical rogress than the City of the Angels. This progress has been won by diligence and the capacity to advance where others marked time, to build where others destroy and to bring into play forces which have been edify ing to the world as we'll as contributing to the growth of the United States.
 If nothing else, this achievement should shed measure of inspiration and confidence upon those labo1ing to conquer the frontier And in it's con- querng no greater boon could fall to our lot than to have the visitors, among us tomorrow, cast in their lot and transmit to us some of the genius and constructive ability expressed in the little pueblo which grew into grand metropolis and in growing withstood every assault of fortune and storm of uncertainty.
