Hoover Having Difficulty in
Finding Man to Manage
Campaign

AS the opening of the Chi
cago convention neared, it
grew more and more apparent
today that President Hoover
is experiencing difficulty in
finding a man to manage his
campaign for reelection.
Names have been handled back
and forth for the past three days
among the little group constituting
his board of political strategy. but
still the President was without de-
cision as to who should replace
Senator Simeon Fess of Ohio as
chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee.
Dawes Spurns Post
When Gen. Charles G.. Dawes
resigned as president of the Re
construction Finance Corporation
one wing of the advisory board
thought its troubles we're over and
rushed to the general with an ap-
peal that he take over the political
reins. The former vice president
apparently does not want the job.
The latest name to be entered
in the parade of possibilities
and it is a formidable one-was
that of Walter e. Edge, American
ambassador to France and former
u. S. Senator from New Jersey.
A powerful group within the Re
publican party began urging that
he be drafted.
Brown Unwilling
Mr.. Hoover's troubles in locat
ing champion steersman began
when Postmaster General Walter
F.. Brown-who has managed the
Ipre-convention campaign--let it
be known he preferred to remain
in the Cabinet.
A concerted move then follow
ed to assure the active support
of the Coolidge wing of the party
by inveigling William M. Butler
of Massachusetts, to resume the
job he held for Calvin Coolidge
in 1924. He declined.

CAMP BRANDED
AS MENACE
To HEALTH
Conditions in Bonus Army
Described as Horrible" BY
DR.. William Fowler
"The most horrible health
menace in the history Of Wash
inRtOn."

"The most horrible health
menace in the history Of Wash
ingtOn."
In this manner DR.. william C..
Fowler, District health officer,
today described the Anacostia
bonus army camp and announced
his intention of using every power
at his command to break up the
camp.
Lack Of proper sanitary con-
ditions, the health officer said,
constituted the primary danger
and makes it comparatively easy
for the outbreak of a contagious
disease.
DR.. Fowler said he intended
meeting with Brig. Gen. Pelham
D. Glassford, chief of police, to
discuss the best means Of break
ing UP the camp. Following the
conference, the health officer will
make his recommendations to
the District Commissioners.
Need Medical Care
DR.. Fowler also critiZed the
Veterans Bureau in not giving
medical aid to the District for in
spection of the camps. A personal
inspection of the camp was made
by the health officer late yester-
day. He said:
with the arrival of more
members of the camp the con-
ditiOnS grow steadily worse.
Sanitary conditions are horrible.
A single hose line furnishes the
only supply of drinking water.
"The AnacOstia River in
which the men bathe and wash
their clothing is nothing more
than an open sewer.
% Men Isolated
An inspection revealed % men
affected with contagious social
diseases and body vermin. DR..
Fowler said. The men were i'm
med1ately isolated by his aide,
DR.. James G. Cumming
DR.. Cumming, who served in
the Medical Corps during the
World War, said that during his
experience with Army camps in
Siberia and China he had not
seen anything as horrible as the
condition now confronting the
District.

CAPTAIN HE|N|E BERGER SHIPS A
 'FR0G' TRAPPER
FRENCHMAN'S ADVENTURE ON COOK INLET SUFFICIENT
 FOR ALL TIME

Whenever Heinie Berger, mas ter of the good ship Discoverer re- ceives a passenger having the ear marks of La Belle France written on his countenance, along with unmistakeable dialect, the captain selects his best marlin spike-the one with the loop threaded thru it-and weighs down his way bills with it.
 It all came about through Cap tain Berger accepting a Gascon passenger and his outfit to be set ashore on upper Cook Inlet. Arrlv- ing at the rendezous, Captain Ber- ger laid to while his frog" loaded his belongings into a skiff, and along with his partner, headed for shore. A short distance from the Discoverer, the fare contracted cold feet. The swells were running med ium high. Instead of making for shore on the running swell the crew of the skiff rang four bells and a jingle and returned to the Discoverer
 There was nothing to do but re- turn them to Anchorage.
 We heard the Frenchman's yer sion of the adventure direct from himself. It runs something like this:
 "Heem, de Heinie gaddom Ber- gaire, ees almos' kill me on de life.
 T go for trap on Cook Eenlette. I buy de plaintee for eat, de plain tee de tobac', de good capuchon, and de gum boot. Wiz de leetle whiskee blanc, for nodding I don't care me.

Light Oat Seed Will
Produce Normal Crop

Despite the fact that much Of the
1881 oat crop is Of poorer quality
than usual. its use for seed will be
satisfactory provided 1t is properly
cleaned and graded, the United
States Department Of Agriculture
says.
In many sections of the corn belt
and of the northwestern states
much Of the Oat crop ripened pre-
maturely because of drought. AS a
consequence, these oats are of light
er weight per bushel than usual
and may not appear to be satisfac-
tory for seed purposes. However,
II this seed Is thoroughly famed
and graded it should produce sat
isfactory crop.
In the eastern corn belt section
the color and weight of much of the
certified seed distributed for SOW
ing this spring is not as good as
that of last year, but this seed will
produce a crop of good quality pro-
vided weather conditions are favor
able. AS in the case of any other
seed oats, the light, chaffy kernels
of these standard and improved va
rieties should be removed by fan
ming. The department advises
farmers to treat their seed oats for
smut prevention.

Men of High Ability
Bufeted by Fortune

When the papers announced the
other day that man named Leo
Melanowski was living In the home
of the Little Sisters of the Poor In
a Middle West city. 1t didn't sound
especially interesting-unless you
read on and learned about the
mans background.
For Melanowski was one OF the
big men In the early days of the
automobile industry. Three decades
ago he was considered probably the
best automotive engineer in the
country. AS matter of fact, some
men still feel that way about him.
At one time Henry Ford asked
him for a job. He guided the early
development of the motor industry
he once held five shares of Ford
stock, which, If he had held on to
it, would have netted him more than
a million and a half in cash in
1919.
But today he lives In the home of
the Little Sisters of the Poor; and
the whole story emphasizes the
prodigal way in which business, like
life in general uses human talent in
order to get the results it wants.
Melanowski is not the only one
Of the early giants of the automo-
bile trade to wind up in poverty.
David Buick died almost penni-
less in Detroit a few years ago.
II. G. Hupp, If not in poverty, was
not among the mighty and the rich
when he died. And the automobile
business is not the only business
that has tales like that. Nearly
every industry can duplicate them.
Just why things like that should
happen is not at all clear. No in
dustry ever had a surplus of brains.
The old saying, There's always
room at the top" is perfectly true.
A man of outstanding ability is al
ways in demand.
And yet-every now and then
such man of that kind gets abso-
lutely nowhere. 1t is as if there
were some hidden and inexplicable
rule by which business must sacri-
fee, now and then, keen brain to
invisible and malefcient power.
Melanowski, Buick-you could make
a long and dismal list. 1t testifies
to one of the most distressing and
wasteful ailments of modern busi-
ness.-Rocky Mountain News, Den
