 Some hours after Senator Fred erick Steiwer had been chosen keynoter, Walter P. Brown, Hoov- CTS postmaster general and cam- paign manager, suddenly appeared on the scene. Brown lives in Toledo and apparently rushed to Cleveland when apprised of the Oregon senator's selection.
 What is Steiwer's designation going to mean to my candi- date?" Brown demanded of the committee leaders.
 "What do you mean, your candidate'? Who is your candi- date?"
 'HOOver!"
 'WelI, is he going to attend the conventiOn?"
 "NOt exactly the convention" Brown said, ''but he expects to be closes at hand. Probably be on yacht out i'm the lake,"
 Well" was the answer, "Stewer's selection doesn't mean anything one way or the other as far as Hoover is concerned"
 NOTE-It was reported that the ex-president has sent word to the party bosses meeting in Cleveland that he would like them to choose a permanent chairman who was friendly to him. The committee named Representative Bertrand Shell, of New, York, never on par- ticularly close term with Hoover. Pals
 When a delegation of striking seamen called on Secretary of La- Dor Perkins recently, she met them in her primmest manner.
 Her hauteur did not, however, disturb the sailors. Their spokes- man criticized her sharply for what he claimed was her failure to fulfill 8 promise to protect" them from discrimination if they brought a certain vessel back to port. Miss Perkins hotly denied the accusation.
 Whereupon one of the seamen spoke up: "NOw, Miss Perkins, am going to bawl you out. But I'm not going to get rough. Pm going to do it in a nice way. You see, am bachelor and you are a spinster so we ought to be able to get together!"
 Madame Secretary gaSped, the newsmen present roared, but the talking sailor never batted an eye.
 NOTE-Miss Perkins is married, has daughter in college. Hitlerized Austria
 Confidential diplomatic dis patches from Europe warn that the next war cloud on the inter national horizon will rise in Aus- tria.
 Hitler is expected to move in through his Austrian Nazi legions. And although dates are extremely hazardous in making interna- tional predictions. the date given by some diplomats is June.
 Regardless of the date, Nazifica- tion of Austria is considered in- evitable. When it comes, it means that the French, the Little Entente and Mussolini will definitely have to decide whether they will move against Hitler or give him all he wants in south central Europe. Diplomatic Dates
 Only nation which appears to be in the know regarding Gernany's dates is Japan-which seems to be definite confirmation of reports that the two countries have a hard-and-fast alliance against Russia.
 On March 4, three days before Hitler re-occupited the Rhineland, the Japanese Naval Attache in Washington, Captain Tamon Yamaguchi, jokingly asked Allied diplomats:
 "Is France going to make war on Germany when Hitler invades the Rhineland on Sat- urday (March 7)
 The question was treated as a joke. BUT ON MARCH 2 HITLER OCCUPIED THE RHINELAND? Cleveland Convention
 A scarcity of hotel accommoda- tions during the Cleveland conven- tion is giving the Republican National Committee almost more headaches than the job of select ing a candidate.
 Some time ago the national committee turned the problem over to a local Convention Housing Committee. But ever since, irate party leaders, delegates and news papermen have been storming na- tional headquarters with cries of anguish and complaint over the subsequent chaos.
 State delegations and news paper staffs are being scattered among several or more hotels. Nationally known newsmen are being stuck into third hate hos telries or on the lake steamers. and promiennt eastern pub fisher discovered that reserva- tiOns for himself and staff had been cOvertly shunted from 8 leading hotel to a rooming house.
 National committee officials, privately, are placing much of the blame on Representative Chester c. Bolton, Cleveland republican, who first tried to handle the reser- vatoins by himself. After every thing was in muddle, he passed OCr> TuD DT,CODn
