lican national convention set about
its main BUSINESS or renominating
President Hoover today to a key
note urging loyalty to the man who
has headed the nation during the
worst depression of history.
This appeal, sounded IN ringing
oratory by Senator L. j. Dickinson
and temporary chairman, was the
main business of the tWo-houT
opening session today. Outside the
convention hall Communist orators
were denouncing the President, but
their gathering failed to reach
demonstration" proportions.
The convention adjourned shortly
after p. m. until IL a. m. (CDT)

Uncertainty as to whether Vice
President Curtis would be renomi-
mated grew during the day as dele

Joined in private expressions that
the Republican ticket needed a

another frequently mentioned.
He arrived here today, declaring
he was for the denomination OF

BIG FOUR TO

BY LYLE c. WILSON

CHICAGO, June 14.-Four men,
bers of President Hoover's cabinet
today undertook the responsibility
of bringing before the Republican
national convention platform
which from prohibition to farm re-
lief will be wholly acceptable to the
man at the White House, President
Hoover, who is awaiting the GER
tain word that he has been chosen
again.
Cabinet domination of the con-
vention resolutions tplatformD COM
mittee is in marked contrast today
to previous convention circum-
stances when a powerful senate
bloc gathered tremendous control
in their own hands.
Secretaries Mills, treasury; Hur-
ley, war; Hyle, agriculture, and
Doak, labor, will represent the
White House in the secret coun-
cils of the resolutions committee.
They have been named by their
respective state delegations for that
others less directly identified with
the White House.
James Francis Burke, general
counsel of the national committee,
and James R. Garfield, Hoover's
hand-picked resolutions committee
chairman, will share the burden of
administration battle. Informal
meetings of several designated
committeeman began yesterday with
prohibition posing a difficult
question.
To Adopt Platform
The platform is scheduled for
presentation at p. m. tomorrow.
The platform makers are resigned
to a sleepless night. The all-nighr
vigil with its accumulating temper
and pickering, promises to furnish
most of the scant excitement to be
expected from a convention which
is least of all concerned with the
name of the man to be named for
the biggest job in the world. There
is no need to speculate or to plan
about the presidential nomination.
If this platform follows the pat
tern of political pledges in general
it will contain many paragraphs
indecisive and indefinite. The idea
is to avoid controversy where
possible
Eclipse of the senate in the max
ing of the Republican party plat
form does not mean the powerful
gentlemen of the upper house have
been shorn of power. But they were
unable to come here in numbers
this week because the senate is in
session. Senator Bingham CRep)
Connecticut, has arrived. He will
lead the committee and floor fight
for repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment. He will find himself con-
fronted in and out of the resolu-
tions committee with the four cab
met members, and Burke, Garfield
and others determined he shall
not win.

RESCUED FLYER STILL UNABLE
To DISCUSS HIS EXPERIENCE

about four miles off. 1t might have
been a cable or a drifting buoy, but
its peculiar top marking induced
me to make closer investigation
by telescope, which showed an air
plane tail sticking up, one-third
submerged. There was no sign of
life.
The Circle Shells motors were
put to "slow" and we approached
to about one mile. Daylight was
failing rapidly. Both the Circle
Shells motors were stopped close
on the derelict.
We were amazed to see a figue
which seemed to be lashed to the
machine. The plane heaved in
the increasing sea.
Flyer Sends Call
We blew the siren. The figure
moved and waved frantically. 1t
obviously was not lashed.
The lifeboat was ordered away,
with eager volunteers under the
second officer.
He called through the megaphone
at a distance of SO feet. The reply
was in English:
81 am Stanley Hausner; save
my Ship
We feared the plane would sub
merge at any moment, as the sea
was increasing.
Hausner literally fell into the
nfeboat. He was helped aboard ir
almost complete darkness, to be
greeted by practically the whole Of
the excited Chinese crew, as min
utes after being first sighted
Lurching across the deck, he
said to the chief officer:
Thanks very much, captain; I
have been waiting for you eight
days" Then he collapsed.
I examined Hausner, and ex-
cept for superficial cuts. bruises
and sores, no serious external in
jurieS were found.
I endeavored to obtain coherent
statement, but his exhausted con-
dition indicated food and water
were immediate necessities.
At the time this radio is sent, the
airman is progressing splendidly.
He had not sustained any obvious
internal injuries after falling down
He is absolutely incapable of even
discussing his experiences.
The rescue was amazingly for
tunate, as at midnight the weather
was hazy and four hours later a
dense fog came up.

GREAT BRITAIN
ASKS PROBE IN
GIRLS DEATH

LONDON. June IA UE) - The
government cabled Edward H. Shep-
herd, acting British consul general
in New York today requesting a re-
port on the suicide of Violet Sharpe,
servant in the household of Mrs
Dwight w. Morrow.
The British press blamed the
third degree methods of New Jersey
police investigating the Lindbergt
kidnapping for the girls death.
1t was understood representatives
to the United States government in
the Sharpe case would be discussed
in questions submitted to Foreign
Secretary Sir John Simon today in
the house of commons.
TENTON, N. j., June IA. U.P)-
Governor A. Harry Moore of New
Jersey has issued a statement de-
Tending conduct of New Jersey state
police in questioning Violent Sharpe,
English maid who committed sui
eide last Friday in the Morrow
home.
Il have talked with Colonel H.
Norman Schwartzkopf," the COVER
nor said, "and I am satisfied the
police have done nothing anywhere
nearly approaching the so-called
third degree and 1 believe them in
no way deserving censure. I stand
squarely behind Colonel Schwarz-
kopf in his efforts"
Colonel Schwarzkopf, defended
the police attitude toward Miss
Sharpe in answering a question by
reporters.
"On the evening of June TO-" the
question said, "an official bulletin
was released which said, the suicide
tends to confirm our suspicious of
her guilty knowledge of the crime.
Do you still believe that this state
ment is correct?"
THE fact remains that conflict
ing statements were made"
Schwarzkopf replied that a false
identification was made, that the
identity of Miller was concealed
and that truths were denied"

Rebel Outbreak

HELSINGFORS, Finland, June
Ia. U.P)-The government sent an
infantry battalion with machine
guns today to Nivala, in northern
Finland, to suppress an insurrec-
tionary movement among 300 farm
ers, who on Saturday attacked the

army sergeant, refused to disperse
after violent demonstrations against
the effects of the economic depres-
sion.
Eighty policemen patrolled the
roads near Nivala to prevent SYM
pathizers from joining the farmers.
Also to protect ammunition depots
of local detachments of the civil
corps.
Police reinforcements were sent
from Uleabory.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Repub-
lican national convention today
drew from President Hoover's pro-
gram of economic rehabilitation, It's
1882 keynote.
Senator L. j. Dickinson of Iowa.
delivering the keynote speech, told
the assembled Republicans that Mr..
Hoover's constructive efforts alone
prevented depression from turning
to panic and economic rout.
He compared Mr.. Hoover's stand
against the depression to that of
Abraham Lincoln against the chal-
lenge which in 1861 threatened the
existence of the republic.
Great stress was laid upon the
Presidents financial measures, his
demand that the budget be bal
anced by levying higher taxes and
by governmental economy, Repub-
lican aid to agriculture and the
efforts of Republican presidents for
world disarmament.
No mention was made of prohibi-
ton. A demand was voiced, how
ever, that "gangdom, racketeering
and thuggery" be stamped out.
To-day our nation is in the midst
| of its most perilous economic
crisis" Dickinson told the thou
sands gathered in the convention

whether the fundamental principles
upon which it was founded and has
grown great shall be preserved.
I'm this grave hour, the Repub-
lican party meets again in national
convention to nominate another
stalwart American, Herbert Hoover
"It offers this great leader with
pride and with confidence. Pride
in his achievements in the face of
! tremendous odds confidence IN the
! Judgment of the people to keep at
the helm the captain who alone
has demonstrated a capacity to
steer cur economic ship to safe
harbor."
Dickinson then reviewed the
work of the Hoover administration.
His first act prevented finan-
cial panic" he said. Invoking the
, powers of the federal reserve board,
he prevented this catastrophe.
Thus he cushioned the effects of
the debacle in Wall Street which
followed the greatest period of stock
speculation the world has ever
known"
Recites Aid Given
Then, Dickinson said, the Presi-
dent followed with a long list of
constructive acts including:

PARTY'S PLANK
ON PROHIBITION
ALREADY DRAWN
BY RALPH II. TURNER
United Press Staff Correspondent


CHICAGO, June IA tentative
prohibition plank, giving the Amer
lean public the opportunity to ex-
press itself upon the merits of the
liquor question, had been drafted
today for later presentation to the
Republican national convention
The final form of the plank was
subject only to minor alterations
by President Hoover, but It's under
lying principle, providing the issue
be reSubmitted to the voters, was
clearly defined.
Hoover may alter the wording
Of the 'resubmission plank" ana
the exact mechanics by which the
question will be referred to the
public is still debated, but these
phases are secondary compared to
! the major decision. That is the
i concession that the voters be al
lowed to reconsider their attitude
on manufacture and sale of alco-
holic beverages.
The principle of "resubmission"
had been fixed by party leaders as
a cardinal point in their 1892 cam
paign. 1t marked the most liberal
Republican attitude on the subject
since passage of the eighteenth
amendment.
While the preponderant opinion
Of party leaders was for "resub-
mission they differed as to how
this should be accomplished. There
are three procedures:
l. Congress might pass a new
amendment to change or repeal the
eighteenth amendment. This would
] require a two-thirds vote in con-
gress and ratification by three
fourths OF the state legislatures.
! ?. Congress could initiate a move
ment for approval or repeal in
state conventions which would
name delegates to a national con-
stitutional convention.
A referendum might be called
but this action, simply giving the
electorate an opportunity to vote
yes" or no" on prohibition, would
] have no legal status. 1t would
amount to nothing more than a roll
of public opinion.

 YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
2I05zsS NEA ssRy!cE INS;


 No woman lives who doesn't want to weep when her mirror tells her she has gotten a middle aged waistline.
 There is something so middle aged about a settled figure. Some thing that implies you no longer care for your appearances.
 The woman who can keep her stomach flat and her waistline 1.-the will never be old.
 Lithenesss is more than mere reduction in size of waistline, how ever. You may diet until you get skinny and still be stiff and unat- tractive.
 Limber up! That is the answer. Limber up through the waistline, especially.
 All exercises which swing the body from the waistline up and the legs from the waistline down are good. Provided, that is, that you let your waistline get exercised in the bargain, and don't hold your- self rigid.
 For starter, try this exercise. and only after you have stretched and yawned and rolled up and down your backbone, lying prone on the floor.
 Stand with. your arms out stretched in front of you, at shoul- der height. Turn on a two-step number, not too fast. Slowly, counting two beats to the swing, swing your arms to one side bit then the other, increasing the arc of the swing with each move When you have swung them both to the right and both to the left as far as you can, holding, your hips straight and moving your body only from the waist, then separate your arms, swing them across each other in front and then back to see if you can make your palms touch in the rear. You cant, but | try 1t anyhow.
