Chicago, June 14- (UP) - Mrs Ellis Yost, director of the women's division of the republican national committee. was busted today from her post of national committeewo- man from West Virginia.
 She has been at grips with the national committeeman. Walter Hallanan, since the days of suf- frage flights and failed of re-elec- ton in tho executive meeting of the West Virginia state caucus last night. Fnal action was delayed in courtesy to Senator Hatfield, chairman of the delegation. One of her supporters who arrives today, Mrs J. Gale Ebert, of Parkers- burg, will be her successor.
 In 1928 Mrs Yost was ono Of the early Hoover supporters. where as the Hallapan faction stood for Lowden, via their favorite son. Senator Golf. until Hoover was nominated. In more than one out standing difference she opposed 1t in patronage. Nevertheless. she won her place on the national committee when women were first admitted In 1924, and was re-elect- cd in 1928.
 Mrs Yost's opponents point out that she long state president Of the W. C. T. D., is now a member of the national committee, has q salaried position on the national committee, is 6 member of the state board of education. and that her husband Is examiner for the radio commission.
 They claim the women of the state feel she has been selfish in holding 50 many jobs and neglect fu1 of their interests in remaining in Washington at headquarters. Other Heads Fall.

And that above the 30th a. St Bernard goes with each room (why go abroad for Alpine-clinb- ing?)

WILL PUSH
 PLATFORM
 OF HOOVER
Four Cabineteers Plan to Drive Through Planks That Their Superior De- niands They Seem to Be in Full Control
By LYLE 0. WILSON

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Chicago, June 14.--(UP)-Four members of President Hoover'a cabinet have accepted the task of steering the presidents own plat form through the republican na- tional convention, which means they will fight for resubmission and against repeal of the 18th amend ment.
 The four cabineteers who have displaced the powerful senate bloc as the convention bosses are Secre- taries Mills, Hurley, Hyde and Doak. They will be aided chiefly by James Francis Burke. general counsel of the national committee, and James F. Garfield. MT Hoover's hand picked resolutions committee chairman.
 They plan to drive through the convention routine a platform ac- ceptable to the president on every point, from prohibition to farm relief. Their domination of the resolutions (platform) committee fs in marked contrast to previous conventions ruled by powerful sem ate blocs.
 Revelation in United Press Washington dispatches that MT Hoover will accept re-submission but will fight repeal has given the administration troops a unity of purpose. They are confident 1t will enable them to control the plat form or resolutions committee ses- sions beginning today and sched- uled to go far into the night.
 The platform is scheduled for presentation at D. m. tomorrow. The platform makers sleepless all- night vigil with it's accommodating temper and pickering promises to furnish most of the scant excite ment for the convention. 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 1t will contain many paragraphs indecisive and indefinite. The idea is to avoid controversy where pos- sible.
 Representative John Q. Tilsop. the republican floor leader of the house, illustrated this idea aptly enough. He was asked if the plat Wouiu bO "ichS "hsh sAAN farm board against which senators and congressmen from midwest ern farm states have been crying long and loudly. Would there be any proposal to amend the agricul- turaI marketing act which created the board.
 sI should think the platform might approve such amendment" said Tilson, "as might from time to time be necessary. That Is, state that as general principle, If the act needs amendment 1t should be amended. Times change and 1t might be found that the amend ment was unnecessary."
 eEclipse of the senate in the niak- 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, republican. Conn, who has arrived, will lead the committee and floor fight for repeal of the 18th amendment. He will lind himself confronted in and out of the resolutions committee with the four cabinet members, and Burke. Garfield and others de- termined he shall not win.
