NEW YORK, May 15.-Herbert
Hoover said today that Franklin
Roosevelt's "brain trust" turned
lying into an art in the 1882 pres
idential campaign.
Writing his memoirs in Golfers
magazine, Mr.. Hoover said of his
successor in the White House:
"Roosevelt's campaign has his
torical Importance because of the
new techniques he introduced,
which have affected all campaigns
since. The mostly revolved
around an abandonment of many
facts in a huge number of
speeches ghostwritten by irrespon-
sible men. ..
There was one common ele-
ment in the Roosevelt brain
trust: They were experts in the
art of semantics and in raising
mendacity to an art. Our response
required painstaking exposition
based on dreary facts and figures"
Contrary to the facts, Mr..
Hoover said, Mr.. Roosevelt and
the Democrats blamed him per-
sonally for the depression and al
legged he did nothing about it. Mr..
Hoover added:
Probably the greatest tactic of
all used against me was the dis
tortion of the story of the bonus
march on Washington in July,
1882 Almost every Democratic
speaker in the 1882 campaign i'm
piled that I had murdered veter-
ans on the streets of Washington.

Scientist Says Cloud Seeding
In West Brought Rain to East

Most of the persons who
doubted the worth of seeding
clouds with silver iodide," he said,
asked the same question: How
do you know it wouldn't have
rained anyway?'
ITO dispose of that argument
once and for all we set out to
establish a pattern of rainfall that
could be measured across the
United States"
A check was started of Weather
Bureau records for as long as they
have existed. DR.. Langmuir said
in all the recorded history of
weather no similar pattern could
be found.
DR.. Langmuir said he and a
group of scientists found that
when they had seeded the New
Mexico air on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, it had rained in
the East on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday-the lapse being the time
it took for the seeded air TO move
across the country.
DR.. Langmuir won the Nobel
prize for his work in chemistry in
1892.

Delayed, , Officer Says
BY the Associated Press

BAYONNE, N. j., May 15.-An
order to change course was not
sent from the aircraft carrier
Wasp to the destroyer mine
sweeper Hobson just before the
two ships collided, an officer
aboard the Wasp said yesterday.
1t. q. g) Page Ingraham of Chi
cago testified he didn't send the
last-minute order given by the
Wasp's commander because of a
lack of time in the hectic seconds
preceding the crash that sank the
Hobson and killed 176 men.
He told naval board of inquiry
he was in charge of transmitting
radio messages the night of the
April 26 disaster-the worst in
the Navy'S peacetime history-in
which the Wasp knitted into the
destroyer minesweeper during ma
neuvers in the Atlantic.
Capt. Burnham C. McCaffree,
the Wasp's skipper, said Tuesday
he gave the order for the Hobson
to make 10 degree change in
course but didn't know if it had
been sent.

McCaffree'S order to be transmit

the Wasp to back all engines, and
he didn't have time to send it, he
said.
Under questioning by the three
man board, 1t. Ingraham said he
lost sight of the Hobson before
the collision, but din't report this
to 1t. Dobert T. Herbst, senior Of

Liner United States
Tries 10 Top Speed Of
Queen Mary in Tests
BY the Associated Press


ABOARD THE S. S. UNITED
STATES. May 15.-The S. S.
United States, Americas bid for
supremacy in the luxury liner
class, sliced through the Atlantic
today in quest of a speed record.
Britain's Queen Mary, which
averaged 81 knots-plus on a 1898
transatlantic run. holds the blue
ribbon emblematic of speed su-
premacy at sea.
The United State built up to 80
knots without effort yesterday on
the first day of her builders run,
and Vice Admiral E. l.. Cochrane
said the Queen Mary's speed will
be topped today.
Phone Service Cut OFF.
During the trial speed run.
ship-to-shore telephone circuits
are being blacked out because they
interfere with electronic devices
to determine the ships speed.
Admiral Cochrane. United States
Maritime administrator, said the
ships actual speed will be kept
|secret for security reasons: If the
Queen Mary's record is broken
this fact will be announced, but
the actual speed will not be pub
I!ished because the ship may be
converted into a troopship in case
Iof war.
"We don't want an enemy to
know her speed capability as the
lives of $4,000 men would be in
Ivolved," Admiral Cochrane said.
He estimated the ship could be
converted in less than "a hours.
The 52.000-ton, $72 million
United States is ir-conditioned
Ithroughout-a feature designed to
permit carrying a maximum num-
Der of troops comfortably-and
has an elaborate fireproofiing
system.
1t will be operated by the United
States Lines in transatlantic
service. President John M. Frank
lin of the line said the ships ac-
commodations for tourist class
passengers "are the best in the
North Atlantic service"
Center of Controversy.
The ship has been the center
of recent controversy in Washing
ton because of a subsidy contract
under which the Government
pledged payment of about $45 mil
lion toward the construction costs.
Some Congressman and other Of
ficialS contended this was too
much.
But yesterday, two key Demo-
cratic members of the House Mer-
chant Marine Committee-Repre-
sentative Bonner of North Caro-
lima and Representative Shelley of
California-said they were in
favor of immediate construction
of sister ship as a vital national
defense measure.

came vice president and treasurer.
