BOSTON HARBOR
 FOG SHROUDED

Boston, June 9 - (U.P) - Fog which made almost any movement @ hazard overhung the coast and stilled traffic in Boston harbor to- day. Although q fishing vessels nosed into port during the night, there were almost no arrivals of passenger or freight ships and none on schedule. Commissioning of the new Cruiser U. s. s. Quincy, sched- uled for Il a, m. at boston navy yard, was delayed for two reasons.
 The new fighting ship could not risk the trip from the Fore River plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuild- ing Corporation at Quincy to the navy yard. Besides, $50 officers and men enroute from Brooklyn, N. r., navy yard for duty on the Quincy were aboard the fog-bound s. s. New York of the Eastern Steamship Lines of Boston Lightship. Tn all, the New York which was due at 7:30 @. m. had TAO passengers.
 Though inbound fishing craft reached port, 25 outbound members of the fleet were held at the fish pier.

 Platform Snarl Shifts
 The platform snarl was shifting today from hotel rooms to the ofti- cial meeting place of the resolutions committee in public hall. A lumber yard of blanks, good, bad and impos- sible, has been assembled and there will be left over makings of a great bonfire when ihe last nail is driven and the platform is ready 10 ra can- didate to stand upon 1t.
 The Borah platform thrust wor- ries Landonites more than the ex cited maneuvering of stop-Landon grenadiers. Landonites are caught between pledges to some of their eastern friends and Borah's insist ence that the republican party be purged, and rejuvenated in the next 48 hours by means of a declaration of new principles to be written into the party creed.
 Surrender Or War
 Compromise is the indicated Lan- don strategy Nbut Borah is snorting for surrender or war.
 A group of states controlling 200 votes has postponed caucus arrange ments, possibly in an effort to exert pressure on LRndon to bid Borah a final goodby. One of these states Is New York and another is California The Landon men are confident they can manage the rebellion as 1t has developed so far.
 Vice presidential speculation cen- tered on Steiwer. He is on the po- litical sweet spot tonight. If he makes a great speech he probably will be rewarded with nomination to the second highest ofiice in the executive branch of our government

|ZIONCHECK GOT OUT HIS WINDOW
Walking Around Hospital Grounds in Bare Feet
 When Captured

washington, June 0-(UP)-dal- finger hospital attendants estab- lished a closer watch today over Rep. Marion A. Zioncheck, Con- gressman from Washington, after he broke out of the psychopathic ward and strolled through the grounds in bare feet and a flowing bathrobe. zioncheck was sent to the hospital for observation by alienists after Q series of escapades which kept him in almost constant hot water with the police. Psychi- artists have been examining the congressman daily. A male nurse was assigned to remain in his room.
 Jumped Out Window
 When the nurse stepped out for few minutes, Zioncheck kicked two screens loose from their heavy fas- tenings and jumped through the window to the ground a few feet below. Smoking a big, black cigar, he began making circuits of the hospital grounds. The whoopS and cheers of other inmates aroused hospital attendants. By the time they reached the grounds, Zion- check was holding earnest conver- sation with a truck driver in the street. Attaches said the congress- man first started to run from the attendants, then stopped and said:
 Gives His Word
 "All right, boys. I'll go back. And I'll give you my word of honor I won't break out again." He was placed in another room while the damaged screens were replaced. Only yesterday hospital attaches had said that Zioncheck was a model patient" and that they ex- pected to conclude their psycho- pathic examination within a few days. Today, however, officials de- clined to say when the tests would be completed or when he would be released.

 the fight over the monetary plank. He took the position that "a com- petent farm plank must embrace the theory of 8 managed currency"
 O'Neal and representatives of the national grange went into confer- ence with Hope and Capper but pos- sibility of agreement seemed slight since O'Neal also was asking that the Landonites support production control program.
 The Hope-Landon plan would pro- vide for benefits to the farmer to compensate him for the cost added to what he buys by the tariff on manufactured goods.
 Gold Standard Talk Evaded
 On the monetary question, Lan- don leaders were seeking to write a plank calling for sound currency without alienating supporters who oppose @ return to the gold standard.
 One Landon leader said the plank would declare for sound money, but probably avoid mention of the gold standard.
 Definite indications of Q choice for chairman of the resolutions committee were lacking in the face of Thomas refusal to serve. Sug- gestions that Walter Edge of New Jersey be chosen were opposed by some Landon packers. Herman Langworthy, Kansas City, was men, toned as Q possible choice. Afraid of Borah Hanging over the Landon SUD- porters, as an unknown quantity that might conceivably snatch vic- tory from them at the last mo- T1ent, was Borah's oratorical pow CTS. They remembered that William Jennings Bryan became Q demo- cratic presidential nominee with his "cross of gold" speech, and there was Q distinct possibility, that Borah, if unable to get what he wanted, might demand the privilege of addressing the convention. If demanded, 1t would be hard to deny, and no one believed that Borah couldn't sway the delegates to some degree.
 Dickinson In Background
 Sen. Lester J. Dickinson, Iowa's dark horse republican presidential candidate, is ready to appear be- fore the convention at any time.
 Asked if he would attend ses- sions, Dickinson answered:
 "Well, I don't think that would be quite proper. But, I am ready and willing at any time to join Q parade of candidates across the convention platform"

AS LONG AS GRASS GROWS
a scRIPPs-HowARp NEWSPAPER

. FADING the speeches of Britains Eden, Frances
Flandin and Belgiums Van iceland before the
League of Nations Council in London we are re-
minded Of a story of similar debate said to have
occurred on this continent some 40 years ago-in a
solemn assembly of the high councils of the Chero-
kee Nation, at Tahlequah Indian Territory
AS Europe's diplomats over the weekend deplored
Germanys abrogation of sacred treaties" and shv-
cred for the future of collective security just did
the austere Cherokee senator's deplore similar lack
of integrity the part of the Great White Father
in Washington.
The Congress of the United States had created
what was known as the Dawes Commission to go
into the Indian Territory and negotiate treaties
with the Indian tribes. AS usual white men wanted
more land
1t became necessary, therefore, that a companion
resolution be approved by the Cherokee Council
creating commission OF Cherokees to treat with
the Dawes Commission. CBe it remembered that the
Cherokee Nation was a proud and constitutional
republic, which sent to Washington no less
parsonage than Sam Houston with full credentials
to act as ambassador extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary)
So this companion resolution introduced in
the Cherokee Council. And for three long days, so
the story goes, oratory echoed through the
council house at Tahlequah. With words that
pucked at the heartstrings, the Cherokee senators
hearkened back to the trail of tears which their
people had been moved under military escort from
the home of their fathers the Atlantic seaboard
to that PARKWAY land With characteristic dignity
those old Cherokee orators were great on dignity
they recalled treaty after another which the
Cherokees had signed with the United States and
which the latter had disregarded as mere scraps of
paper
Hadn't the boundaries of their republic been time
and again guaranteed long as the sun rose in the
east and set in the vest long grass grew on the
land and water flowed down Neosho River? And
hadn't the white men time and again encroached on
their domain? Why then sign another covenant
that would be just worthless?
And So the story goes. on the third and last day
Of the debate of the Cherokee senators-per-
haps he was the majority whip-solemnly arose and
introduced an amendment to the resolution The
amendment struck out the word treat" and in
serted in lieu thereof the word monkey" The
amendment was adopted, and the amended resolu-
ton duly passed, creating Cherokee Commission
ito monkey with the Dawes Commission"
We don't vouch for the accuracy of this story
But it is good story nevertheless, and worth retel
Ing at time like this when we of the United States
are prone to look with righteous scorn upon the
treaty-breaking misdeeds of European nations. Be-
fore arrogatng to ourselves moral superiority
the rest of mankind hadn't we better weep little
on the shoulders of the American red man?
