The ceiling was low and heavy rain

mountain passes that separate this
costal city from the tundra flats
east Of White Horse.
Towne was an experienced Arctic
flyer and aviators did not seem to
be unduly apprehensive over the
safety of the missing party. The
first rule of Polar flying is to sit
down and wait until the weather
clears and veteran aviators said
that Towne most likely landed at
one Of the three or four available
emergency fields along the route.
The best of these was at Skagway.
The plane also could have landed
at Carcross or Atlin in Yukon ter
ritory.
Not Word Heard
All of these points were without
communication at night except for
chance contact by short wave
radio.
The course Of the flight was over
desolate almost uninhabited
country and forced landing would
be dangerous.

CORRESPONDENT

Washington, July 28-Mr. Her
bert Hoover's decision to make a Sc
ries of political speeches in Sep
TENDER comedies with wave Of
optimism among friends of the
former President who hope to make
him the Republican nominee in
1910.
These friends find 1t rather easy
to tick off other G. o. P. aspirants
one by one, winding up with the
conclusion that Hoover looks strong
er each month and that the trend
Of events and Republican political
settlement definitely favor him.
Chiefly they are encouraged by
the fact that the party and its con-
stituents indicate revived trend
toward conservative policies. They
point to the Republican primary in
Pennsylvania where the relatively
liberal Clifford Pinchot was badly
beaten by the conservative candi-
date for governor, Judge Arthur H.
James, and that in Iowa, where
arch-conservative Lester Dickinson
was nominated for senator.
If public announcement that
Hoover's decision to take the stump
was IN response to increasing pres
sure from the Republican rank and
file-which was said to want him to
unity the party and counteract
President Roosevelt's prediction
swing-is to be taken at face val
ue, the opinion Of Hoover's friends
would seem to some extent we'll
grounded.

certainty Of British Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain's general Eu-
ropean peace program, which Is
based on an Anglo-1talian friend
ship treaty to become effective
when peace Is restored In Spain.
Chamberlain's shift Of atten-
ton from improving relations with
italy to a campaign to bring Nah
Germany into the program for con-
solidation of peace bore more fruit.
Capt. Fritz Widemann, personal
adjutant of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler,
was reported planning another
weekend visit to London to see
Chamberlain. While the Hitler
Chamberlain exchanges so far have
been couched in the broadest terms,
the mere fact that they are occur
ring has improved prospects for
peaceful settlement Of the German
quarrel with Czechoslovakia over
treatment Of minorities.
Elsewhere In Europe
Czechoslovakia-Nazi leaders in
the Sudeten region rejected the
governments new minorities sta
tute as "swindle" but willingness
of the cabinet to negotiate for a
settlement kept alive hope Of a
peaceful solution of the problem.
China-Japanese armies fighting
up the Yangtze toward Hankow re-
ported steady progress as Chinese
moved back from their shattered
defense lines at Kiukiang, but in
Shanghai the invaders ran into
new trouble with United States ma
rines. The marines accused the
Japanese military Of violating an
agreement not to move materials
through the international settle
ment and announced that as a re-
suit Of the violations traffic control
posts would be e-established.
Japan-The Tokyo government
indicated desire to end for the

border by proposing that a joint
commission be set up to settle
frontier disputes which recently led
to sporadic clashes between Jap
anese and Russian troops.

STA was disclosed with the appoint
ment of Gregory Gorbach as chief

Smith was lying on the floor when
it was over.
Lieut.. Smith and his wife were
living at Col. Giffin's home during

occasion the colonel took a hilari-
GUS ride in a milk wagon; that once
he knocked a mans hat off in q

way into dinner party where he

Development Of Trouble
Smith said his trouble with Giffin
developed from an oral agreement
they had to go into business to-
gether. The colonel withdrew from
the partnership after Smith had re-
signed from his CCC post to start
the business, he said. The colonel
later lent him $500 to get establish

but when he lost the Rochester job

"Since voluntary acceptance OF
these recommendation Is improb-
able, they would have to be imposed
by force. That probably would mean
more bloodshed."

the Zionist movement already has
officially indicated willingness to

Arabs object to the partition the
ory in which they see the death
knell of their aspirations to rule
territory which they regard as
theirs by right Of 13 centuries OF
occupation.
Arab Leader Talks
An exiled Arab leader gave the
following explanation:
1--WE believe the British in des-
peration are going to try to force
partition upon us. We shall never
accept. Aside from the fact that
the British promised us independ-
ence, we object to partition that
would leave Arabs only rocky, infer
tile hill regions unable to support
their population.

He was known as one Of the

ket broke. Several of his holdings
were wiped out before he could

Sugar, former JAW attorney. He
said today that Martins charges
about the league were "damnable
falsehoods, which smell strongly Of

frantic act of man in the throes

John L. Lewis Accused
Sugar told reporters yesterday
that one witness had testified that
John L. Lewis, chairman of the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton, was, "a conspirator allied with
efforts to turn the union over to
the Communists"
The witness, Sugar said, was
Francis j. Michael, Racine, Wis, an
executive board member. He said
Michael told the board that during
the 1887 union convention in Mil
waukee, Lewis had asked for the
reelection of the four vice presi-
dents and had urged them to let
the Communists get control OF the
union.
Martin said Sugar had told ode

testimony and that Sugar was try

Georgia are beginning to express
doubt as to whether Senator Wal

agains the senator, has the best
chance to beat U. S. District Attor-
ney Lawrence Camp, New Deal
candidate for Georges seat.
On the ground that strong pres

against George may cause. nomin-
alton Of Talmadge, George sup
porters have sent overtures to
Roosevelt urging him to abandon
his plans for anti George, pro-
Camp speeches In the state. Thus
far the answer has been that
Roosevelt endorsement Of Camp
Is much more likely to nominate
Camp than the anti-New Deal Tai
madge. Georgia New Dealers are
beginning to see visions Of a Camp

Dividends for 1887 Total
S7,908,60 According to
Bank Board.

Dividends for 1897 totalins $7,90s,-
COS have been paid to the United
States Government on its investments
in savings and loan associations, the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board an
nounced today.
This brings to $l3,254,l ,l2l the ag-
gregate earnings paid on investments
by the Home Owners Loan Corp. and
the United States Treasury Depart
ment, authorized in 1888, in member
institutions of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System.
During 1887 H. o. L. c. received
$5,129,094 on its investments in e9s
Federal savings and loan associations
and $1,042,637 on its investments in
246 State chartered associations. The
Treasury's holdings Of shares in $50
Federally chartered thrift associations
paid $1,736.s75 for the year. The
current dividend rate Of these asso-
Citations averages over 3,5 per cent.
Federal savings and loan associa-
tions have paid the Government a
cumulative total of $ll.856, 400 on its
investments during the last four and
one-half years. Dividends from State
chartered associations amount to
$1,397,721 on share purchases made
over shorter period.
The totals of such investments Of
end Of 1887 were as follows: In Fed
eral associations. S2l6,8l3,000; in
State associations, $s7,857,27O. The
law provides for the gradual retire
ment of these shares through re-
purchase by the associations, begin
ming within five years from the dates
on which the subscriptions were made.
These governmental investments
have recently been made only in ex-
treme cases. said Preston Delano,
governor of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System. They we're made
largely In 1884, 1885 and 1896 to
enable thrift associations more quick
ly to meet their local demands for
long-term loans for the purchase,
construction, repair and refinancing
of homes. The renewed flow of funds
from savers and investors into these
associations was especially noticeable
in 1887. This makes further invest
ment by the Government unnecessary.
although the appropriation for the
purpose is not exhausted
The dividend record for last year,
announced today, is a testimonial to
the inherent strength of these asso-
Citations and the wisdom of Congress
in authorizing the investments. All
but two or three paid a dividend for
the last half of 1887"
