ship in the Federal Government. -
This training will be work and prac-
tice rather than theory. They will be
assigned Just as if they were on the
Government pay roll"
Mccall said the institution should
be, in the broadest sense, laboratory
for authentic leadership"
Within a period OF four years" he
said. between six and seven hundred
young people would attend this uni
versity Of public affairs. Each Of
those students would thus become a
potential leader for the years ahead
But 1t Is not alone in this spe-
ciflc training of limited number Of
students that the great value of the
national institution of public affairs
lies 1t Is also in the reshaping and
redirection of our channels of think
ing and methods Of educational train
ing for public service that the insti-
tuition will make a signal contribu-
ton"

R|CHEY ON IOWA
TRIP WITH HOOVER
Former President Leaves
Kansas City After Meet
ina G. o. P. Leaders.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, March 30.-A
smiling, sun-tanned Herbert Hoover
headed for his boyhood State of Iowa
today, leaving political tongues wag-
ging.
The former President spent the
night here-the scene of his nomina-
ton for the presidency-the latest
stop of an automobile trip through
the West that seems to swell in extent
and significance with every mile.
Today he had as companion
Lawrence Richey, one of his White
House secretaries who hurried here
from Washington by airplane to join
him.
Maintains Silence.
When the former Chief Executive
left his California home last Saturday,
the journey was described as a short
vacation trip. There was no indica-
ton that it was to carry him as far
East as Kansas City. He said he
might drive on to Chicago"
While he is not the same fatigued
man who left the White House
year ago, he was as untalkative as
