ters mailed to them yesterday by Rob-
ert F. Blair Of Cleveland, president of
the National League of Commission
Merchants, to discuss national policies

sel for the committee named by the
Senate to investigate the Public Service
Commission.

superior bench.
Judge Gawthrop Is scheduled to re-
tire from the Superior Court in Janu-

that the commission was the "cat's
paw of utilities" and that many Of Its
members had accepted utility gratuities.
AS soon as the investigation was as
sured, the organization and Pinchot
split over selection of counsel. Repub-
lican leaders unhesitatingly rejected
Pinchot's choice, William A. Schnader
attorney general, and openly admitted
that they did so in order to keep con-
troll of the inquiry's progress.
At an executive meeting Yesterday
committee members agreed to the ap-
pointment of Gawthrop because Of his

SAN FRANCISCO, September 2.-1n
the wake of fanciful, scrambled sena-
torial primary, California Republicans
are taking stock Of their party's pros
poets under the titular leadership of
34-year-old Tallant Tubbs, scion of one
OF San Franciscos oldest and wealthiest
families.
Without the support of any recognized
political faction, the debonair San
franciscan. born to yachts and social
position, rode to surprising victory over
the veteran Senator Samuel M. Short
ridge.
Gets Votes Of Poor.
More surprising still, the son Of
wealth and fortune rolled up a San
Francisco south of Market street" vote
OF proportions hitherto reserved for the
haird-boiled districts favorite offspring.
Sunny Jim" Rolph, now Governor Of
the State.
The inevitable aftermath Of complex
political campaign finds many explana-
tions-not previously foreseen-of the
iubbs victory. For one thing. the big
dry vote Of Southern California was split
between the crusading Rev. Bob" Shu-
Ter and the equally bone dry" Repre-
sentative Joseph Grail.
But 1t does not explain how a slim,
trim, collegiate-appearing native son"
could overcome the influence and pres
tige Of his chief opponents ~ years of
Office holding.
Thinks Base Ball Helped.
WELL guess base ball helped a lit
tie" the Republican senatorial nominee
said. You see, I've been nut about
base ball ever since I was a kid and I
was always wandering over on the
South side, organizing teams and play
Ing ball. That helped me to get ac-
quainted with the boys south of the slot.
Il also learned there that it's the
personal touch that counts. So when
I decided to run for the Senate made
up my mind to meet people face to face
and tell them personally what I stood
for and would try to do If elected. It
got me into lot of arguments, but it
was lot Of fun, too.
We'll, I guess that personal angle
was what did it, that and the knowledge
that don't believe in pussyfooting. NV
supporters knew If they voted for me it
meant a vote for straightout repeal, and
no ifs and ands."

INSURANCE COSTS

More Than Billion.

The Governments liability on war
risk term insurance claims was re-
ported today by Brig. Gen. Frank T
Hines, veterans administrator, to have
exceeded premium payments by $l,000,-
900, 900.
Contrary to the impression which
prevails in certain sections Of the
country" Hines said in a statement,
"the fund created by premium deduc-
tions from service pay was not ade-
quate to meet the tremendous insur-
ance liability of the Government.
1T Is practically impossible to esti-
mate the maximum liability of the
Government in cases of this character,
but 1t is evident that total payments
under war risk term insurance will
eventually represent an expenditure of
the Government in excess of $2,000,-

that we will re-elect the President after
a hard fight.
IT won't say anything about the
complexion Of the next Congress until

He expressed an expectation that a
smaller total vote would be cast this
year than in 1928.
2SS Held Minimum.
We've figured that the Hoover Cur
tbs ticket will get an irreducible mini
mum of 288 electoral votes, 20 more
than a majority"
In 1928 Mr. Hoover received 444
votes to 81 for "Al' Smith.
Speaking of the only section in which
he has Travelled recently, the veteran
Senator said:
In New England the Republican
sentiment is enormously stronger than
it was in 1928.
Massachusetts, q prominent Demo-
crat told me, will 60 for Hoover and
Gov. Ely will be defeated. That pre-
diction surprised me. I thought the
Governor was very strong there.
Prom all hear. Maine will give
us the normal Republican majority.
Boiling Interest Lacking.
"In my own State of New Hamp-
shire we will sweep right through, but
with smaller majority than in 1928,
because the total vote will be smaller.
There doesn't seem to be the boiling
interest in politics that there usually
is. Maybe by October the situation
will change.
Except in few communities, I find
little interest in prohibition. Generally
speaking, they have come to the con-
clusion something is going to happen
regardless of which nominee Is elected,
because of the party platforms.
"In my own race expect a smaller
majority than I got last time. And
that, you remember, was the largest
majority on record in the State"

DOOMED BATTALION

Horrors of war for two years on
the Austro-Italian front, above the

wildly this week in The Doomed
Battalion" on the Apollo screen.
Majority of the film was made in
the Alps and one of the tremendous
punches in the picture is the charge
of regiments on skis seventy miles
an hour down the mountainside
The situation is based on one of
the most dramatic events of the
World war, when the two armies
were deadlocked month after month.
Severe cold, snow slides, disease and
hunger killed as many fighters as
bullets.
In the story is woven the plot of
a man who is torn between love of
country and of home. And of
course, there is another man.
Luis Trenker, who wrote the book,
and Tala Birell hailed as the latest
screen find, carry the leading roles.
