reason why Republicans should turn
from him to Senator Van Nuys-and
that has given impetus to the sugges-
ton that perhaps the later will Dc
given the nomination after all.
In Illinois last week a Republican
candidate for justice of the State
Supreme Court won in the third ju-
dicial circuit, comprising Is counties
and including Springfield. the capi-
tai. Much Of this is old Republican
territory. Yet the last Judge elected
there was Democrat and he won by
about 10000 votes. Illinois Repub-
licans have seized on this victory rs a
sign that the Republican voters, who
used to roll up huge majorities for
the G. o. P. not many years ago, are
coming back into the party fold.
Strings in New York.
While things have been stirring po-
litically in the Corn Belt, they also
have been Jared a bit in New York.
The American Labor party, which
claims it holds the balance OF power in
the Empire State, has come forward
with a slate Of candidates which it
proposes to support in the :all elec-
ions. Gov. Lehman. who has an
nounced for the Democratic senatorial
nomination, is not on the iist-al-
though Senator Wagner. Democrat, is.
There are two Senators 70 be nomi-
mated and elected in New York this
fall. due to the death OF Senator
Copeland.
The American Labor party has put
Sidney Hillman. president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, on
the list for the senatorial nomina-
ton for the short (Copeland) term.
1t favors Joseph D. McGoldrick, city
controller, for Governor; Mrs. Gilmore
M. Herrick, regional director of the
National Labor Relations Board, for
Lieutenant Governor; Frederick Um-
hey. counsel and executive secretary Of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers, for attorney general: Lang
don w. Post, former tenement house
commissioner, for controller, and Mrs.
Caroline O'Day, Democratic incum-
bent, for Representative at Large.
The American Labor party turned
down Gov. Lehman because the Gov
ernor has split with the New Deal and
the President on number Of things,
including the court bill and the big
spending program. Furthermore, it
wanted place on the Democratic
ticket-the senatorial nomination and
probably the nomination for Lieuten-
ant Governor. Even now, the party
may be just jockeying for deal with
either the Democrats or the Repub-
licans, preferably the Democrats.
Mayor La Guardia, member of the
Labor party, has promised to say
something, but nothing has come
from him yet.

Leader in Monopoly Probe

A former newspaper man turned
lawyer is directing the administra-
tion's investigation of monopoly in
business.
Senator Joseph c. O'Mahoney.
Democrat, of Wyoming, elected Friday
to be chairman of the National Eco
nomic Committee, was graduated
from Georgetown Law School in 1908,
but entered newspaper work in
Boulder, Colo, instead Of hanging
out his shingle.
He remained in that field until he
was appointed secretary to the late
Senator Kendrick Of Wyoming in 1917.
He began practice Of law in 1920 in
Cheyenne, Wyo., but left it In 1888
to accept an appointment as Assistant
Postmaster General. Nine months
later he was appointed to the Senate
by Gov. Leslie A. Miller on the death
Of Senator Kendrick.
Long an advocate of anti-monopoly
legislation, the slender, energetic
Wyoming Senator brought to his new
Job . portfolio Of facts gathered tn

as well as q suggested solution for the

SC|ENT|STSLEARN
, OF NEW HORMONE
Product Of Pituitary Gland
Makes Hibernation of
Animals Possible.
By THOMAS r. HENRY.


A hitherto unknown hormone, be-
leved to make possible Information in
animals, which balances sugar In mans
blood. raises the level Of human metab-
olism, turns frogs Jet black, and
seems to govern the changing Of sugars
into fats, was reported before the
American Association for Advance
ment Of Science at Ottawa this week.
It is another product Of the pitui-
tary gland. This one Is distinct from
all the others, its action is increased
when subjected to heat which inacti-
Yates the others, and it can be filtered
through parchment or cellophane. In
dicating that 1t consists Of about the
smallest organic molecules known to
man.
The discofery was reported by Drs.
A. H. Neufeld, J. B. Collip. D. K.
O'Donovan and O. F. Denstedt Of Nc
Gill University. They found 1t in
extracts Of all parts Of the gland,
but most abundant in the intermedi-
ate lobe.
Has Strange Properties.
It has, they reported, the strange
property Of increasing consumption
Of oxygen and at the same time de-
creasing the respiratory quotient, or
ratio Of carbon dioxide breathed out
to oxygen breathed' in. Also, when
tested with animals, it caused a fatty
infiltration Of the liver. Ordinarily
carbon dioxide Is produced by the
burning of sugar through combina-
ton with oxygen. This hormone, the
discoverers reported, dieverts the oxy-
gen to the production Of molecules OF
fat while the fire Of life Is left to
burn very low.
For the first time 1t provides q ra-
tional explanation for Information. A
bear or woodchuck will come out Of
its winter sleep fatter than when it
entered Its den, although it has eaten
nothing for months.
The vital blood sugar level in man
is pushed up and down by adrenalin
and irsulin. The new substance acts
as an inhibitor of both these hormones
and keeps the level at a point best
adapted for life functions.
Increases Ketone Bodies.
Another function, it was found, is
to increase the number OF ketone
bodies, acetone structures produced in
the blood when sugar is burned.
Small injections activate color
producing cells in the skin of a frog
so that the animal will remain coal
black for q month.
When the new hormone Is repeated
ly injected it becomes steadily less
potent because of the apparent pro-
duction in the blood Of an antigen
against it, similar to the antigens
formed against disease germs. This
phenomenon also was reported In the
case of insulin. heavy doses of which
are being given in the treatment of
dementia precox. An anti-insulin fac
tor Is formed in the blood serum of
the patient.
When ground pituitary substance is
subjected to electrolysis the new
hormone moves faster toward the
cathode of the apparatus than any
Of the other constituents.
None has yet been obtained, how
ever, free from other pituitary ma
terial in which the rest of the hor-
mones are shown by rigid tests to
have been inactivated.

Mr.. Dickinson is a regular" Repub-
ican. No one ever considered him as
belonging to the progressive bloc on

Situation In Indiana.
In Indiana last week, another "reg-
ular" Republican, although he has
no previous official record, has been
nominated for the Senate. He is
Raymond E. Willis, a country news
paper publisher of Angola. He, too,
hopes to capitalize on q feeling of
unrest that is growing among the
farmers of the Middle West.
The Willis nomination appears to
have given the Indiana Democrats
something to think about. Late re-
ports from the Hoosier State say that
perhaps, after all, Senator Van Nuys
will be renominated by the Democrats
in their convention July IL. Senator
Van Nuys, who fought the Presidents
court bill, was slated for the slaughter.
But now not only Gov. Townsend. but
also Senator Minton, both strong New
Deal Democrats, are saying that. per-
haps Senator. Van Nuys will be the
nominee after all
The denomination Of Senator Van
Nuys is not likely to please President
Roosevelt or the members Of his inner
circle. However, from Indiana comes
word from Senator Minton that the
President will not seek to prevent
Senator Van Nuys' denomination If
the Hoosier Democrats want him.
May Bury Hatchet.
There is more than meets the eve
in this. While Senator Minton and
Gov. Townsend are strongly pro-
Roosevelt, they are even more strongly
pro-McNutt. They want Paul v. Nc.
Mutt. former Governor and now High
Commissioner to the Philippines, NOM
mated for President by the Democrats
In 1910. A defeat for q Democratic
candidate for Senator in Indiana next
November would be an Ill omen for
Commissioner McNutt and his presi-
Dental ambitions.
Rather than risk such q defeat,
the McNutt Democratic leaders in
Indiana are thinking Of burying the
hatchet and getting back Of Senator
Van Nuys, hoping thus to avoid a
split in the party. Senator Van Nuys
has threatened to run as an inde-
pendent candidate II the Democrats
turn him down.
The nomination Of Editor willis
over former Senator Watson-one of
the ''old guard"-seems to have ce-
mented Indiana Republicans for a
time at least. When it was thought
likely that Mr.. Watson would be the
choice for the Senate nomination,
Democrats like Senator Minton fig-
ured many Of the Republicans opposed
to the former Senator, would turn to
Senator Van Nuys and thus split the

cratic nominee But Mr.. Willis offers
