action. assured the Senator they would
be guided by his wishes. He for
mally released his delegates.
Borah made no immediate promises
as to what he would do in the COM
ing presidential campaign. 1t is gen.
orally expected, however. that he will
support the national ticket. He ap-
parently is pleased by the tentative
draft of the Republican national plat
form, although he did not get quite
all he asked.
Borah's campaign manager, Carl G..
Bachmann. said that he himself would
vote for Borah and that there might
be others who would do so when the
roll was called.
Other candidates for the presi-
dental nomination, including Taft
of Ohio, Dickinson of Iowa and
Meekins of North Carolina, will ask
that their names be not presented
to the convention, too.
On the vice presidential nomina-
ton question the answer is still in the
making. The Landonites even now
say that it is an open field. They will
seek q delay Of a night or q day, In
order to have q thorough canvass OF
the situation.
Fitzgerald Is Substitute.
The Michigan delegation. after Sen
ator Vandenberg had told them he
was Withdrawing his name in the
presidential race, voted to put forward
Gov. Fitzgerald for second place on
the national ticket.
That seemed effectually to take Sen
ator Vandenberg out Of the picture
as possibility for the vice presidential
nomination. He himself has already
declared he would not accept q
nomination.
There is no doubt, however, that
the Landon people will do all they can
to persuade him to change his mind.
Steiwer Of Oregon and Edge of New
Jersey were much in the talk of the
delegates for the second place. But
so were many others.

Here, gimme that flag, you can't
do that" said an usher
We'll, maybe I can't, but I've got
it," replied Mrs. Clair, waving.
After the crowd had quieted and
Hoover had finished his speech, Mrs.
Clair renewed the cry, We want
Hoover" to which the band kept time
as other delegates smilingly joined in.
AS the convention recessed she was
in her position of vantage-a seat far
better than most delegates
Her orchids were faded and her
right hand blistered from waving her
flag. Hoover admirers clustered about
her
You've started something" said q
bald-headed fat man.
Yes" she answered, "and I'm going
to keep it up until l get him elected. -
To neWsmen Mrs. Clair confided
that she had admired Hoover for
many years"
Mrs. Clair, whose antics aroused the
delegates to such frenZied pitch that
they paraded for nearly an hour after
Hoover spoke, came to Washington
about a year ago from New York.
Friends who are occupying her
apartment during her absence said
they had been unaware of Mrs. Clair'S
political interests. but agreed that II
seemed she was inclined to favor Mr.
Hoover.

SALUDA, S. c., June 11.-Senator
Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina
said in a campaign speech yesterday
that Ogden L. Mills, then Secretary
of the Treasury, turned to President
elect Roosevelt for advice on the bank
ing crisis two days before the 1888
Inauguration.
The President elects answer,
Byrnes said, was: IF Hoover doesn't
know what to do, Roosevelt does and
unless Hoover promises Roosevelt he
will do what Roosevelt tells him to
do there is nothing to offer"
Byrnes said he conveyed Mills re-
quest to the President-elect and
that they delivered Mr.. Roosevelt s
reply.
The junior South Carolina Sena-
tor, an administration wheelhorse, is
campaigning for denomination against
two caustic New Deal critics, former
Mayor Thomas P. Stoney of Charles
ton and Col. William c. Harllee, re-
tired Marine Corps officer.
The Senator said he and Secretary
Mills were in conference in the lat
ter's Office and he heard the Wash
ington end of a telephone conversa-
ton between Mills and Winthrop
Aldrich, New York banker.
Evidently" Byrnes related, "the
banker had told Secretary Mills he
was going to Bermuda" and then he
quoted Mills as replying:
There is no use in your going to
Bermuda, because when you get back
there will be nothing left here"

in several lines Of science, but was
chiefly recognized as an authority on
the chemical reactions of acetylene.
His researches in this line reached
their climax about six years ago, when
he obtained a basic substance from
which material with all the proper
ties Of natural rubber could be made.
Hailed as New Solution.
This changing of a gas-the most
brilliant Of all the illuminating
gasses-into a resilient material, su-
perior to natural rubber in many re-
spectS, was hailed as a near approach
TO the solution of one OF the funda-
mental puzzles Of chemistry. DR..
Nieuwland never actually produced
synthetic rubber, but a similarly re-
acting material with a much smaller
molecule. The full implications of
the discovery in industry still are be-
ing explored.
The production OF this synthetic
material derives originally from an
incidental observation made by DR..
Nieuwland in the C. U. laboratory
more than 25 years ago. He found
that when acetylene was passed
through a solution of copper and am
monium chloride an oil was eventually
produced from which could be OBJ
tanned a solid with some of the prop
critics Of rubber, but which did not
retain its elasticity. For nearly Is
years DR. Nieuwland worked to over
come this difficulty.
During the war he had won inter-
national fame through his discovery
Of Lewisite gas.
Besides his work in chemistry, DR..
Nieuwland achieved eminence in
biology at Notre Dame A member
of the Holy Gross order. he usually
vacations at the Hoy Cross House Of
Studies here.
DR.. Nieuwland was born at Hans
beke, Belgium, February IA, 1873. Ed
ucated at Notre Dame. he was award
ed the bachelor Of arts degree in 1893
and doctor of science in 1911. He was
ordained to the priesthood in Balti-
more the year after he received his
Phi. D. at C. U.
Since 1904 Father Nieuwland had
been q member of the faculty Of Notre
Dame. serving as dean Of the College
Of Science from 1920 to 1923 and pro-
fessor of organic chemistry since 1928
In 1917 he was editor of de luxe
edition of lie Conte's Unpublished
Plates. He was founder, editor until
1881, and since that time contributor
of the American Midland Naturalist
was curator of the Edward L. Greene
Herbarium, and founder of the Nieuw-
land Herbarium, both at Notre Dame
Among the many honors coming tc
DR.. Nieuwland for his achievements ir
the field of science were the American
Institute Medal, in 1884; the Nichols
Medal, in 1885; the Morehead Media,
from the International Acetylene AS
