summer.
A speech - making progam of
eight addresses within about e ht

Faces Many Issues.
Few presidents starting on the
last half of their terms have been
beset with more perplexing eco-
nomic issues or more formidable
political obstacles.
Outstanding national emergencies
include the growing deficit in gov-
ernment f u n d s, augmented by
shrinking income tax returns, the
problem of some ,000,000 unem-
ployed, and the farm situation, with
a slumping wheat market and a
prospective carry-over of more than
200,000,000 bushels in the face of
an approaching crop.
To Address Political Meeting.
Whether Mr. Hoover will discusst
any of the major problems or an-
swer the attacks of democratic and
independent adversaries in hisI
forthcoming speaking tour is prob-
lematical, Only one of the meet-
ings will be of a political nature,
that of the republican state edi-c
torial association at Indianapolis I
June 15.
In the congressional elections in
ndiana last fall, the democrats
"Won six seats from republican in-
cumbents in the house. The presi-3
dent -also will speak in Ohio and
Illinois, where democrats were vic-
torious in congressional elections.
To Speak at Marion.
He will dedicate the Harding me-~
morial at Marion June 16, and re-,
view veterans of the Grand Army
of the Republic in annual encamp-
ment at Columbus, and June 17 he

Southern States Lose Heavily
in Livestock; Menaces
Lives of People.
CLARKSDALE, Miss., April 8.-(/P)
-A Plague of buffalo gnats today
wrought havoc in the Mississippi
river lowlands of the state, Arkan-
sas and Louisiana, killing livestock
and menacing the lives of people.
Hlarris Barnes, Coahoma county
farm agent, said he had received
Aeorts of the death of 115 mules
in the county within 48 hours from
the pest. More than 100 mules have
been reported killed in Arkansas
and many head of livestock in Lou-
isiana.
Authorities issued a warning to
people to avoid .gnats, and live-
stock men are using every means
to protect their cattle. The gnats
arrive in swarms like cloud.s and,
settle on deserted houses in out-
lying sections as well as on barns
and herds of cattle.
Veterinarians throughout t h i s
area are now administering to
stricken stock.

SCREW SAVED FflOR
From Cystitis.
LONDON, April 8. -(:P)- Britain
breathes a little more easily nowl
that frail, crippled Philip Snowden
is emerging from his bouts of pain
and suffering against afflictions of
cystitis.I
Sympathy rose above party poli-
tics while the chancellor of the
exchequer fought his old enemy, ill
health, aided by Mrs. Snowden, his
staunchest ally.
No national crisis would have oc-
curred had Snowden failed to re-
cover completely by "Budget day,"
April 14, for the nation's $4,000,000,-
000 balance sheet could be an-
nounced either by the prime minis-'
ter or by a deputy chancellor.
But a Laborite budget would lose
much picturesque popular appeal
without the canny little Yorkshire-
man scrapping with his critics in
the house of commons.
Ordinarily in the rough and tum-
ble of politics the Laborite guardian
of the British national purse asks
for no quarter and gives non.
But in his unequal struggle for'
health, Snowden at 66, still a giant
of inteligence in finance and ec-,
nomics, is but a vulnerable scrap cf
crippled humanity fighting odo s:
that would dismay a personalit /
without his iron will.
Two months ago influenza left
Snowden with the painful internal.
inflammation known to physicians
as cystitis. His slow recovery has
served to bring to public attention
again the career of the man Who is
second only to his chief, Ramsay?
MacDonald, in the conduct of thew
affairs of the British empire.
As a youth he was seriously in-
jured in a bicycle accident and,
while stretched on an invalid's bed
he used the enforced leisure to

San Lucas Attracted by Signal
From Waterlogged Vesel;
Ship Abandoned.
IEUREKA, Calif., April 8.-(/P)-
E Capt. S. E. Mattson and his crew
of 17 were aboard the freighter San
Lucas today while his little steam
a umber schooner Cleone was aban-
doned to the seas near Blunt's reef
lightship, south of Eureka.
The Cleone, which left Eureka
Tuesday for San Francisco, sprang
a leak and soon became waterlog-
ged. She displayed distress signals
and the San Lucas, standing by,
picked up the men when they a-
bandoned ship.

Sleet Coating on Wing
Caused Tragedy.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-()-
The tricky factor weather has offi-
cial blame for the airplane crash
that killed Coach Knute Rockne
and seven others at Bazaar, Kan.,
March 31.
After saying unofficially that ice
broke the plane propeller, the com-
merce department asserted Tues-
day that a coating of sleet on the
wings of the plane apparently was
responsible for the mishap.
In formal findings, the depart-
ment said its aeronautics inspector
found evidence which indicated
weather was the "primary cause
of the accident."
After the plane pilot received
radio reports from Wichita, Kan.,
that the weather was clear at that
point, the statement said, he prob-
ably attempted to get above the
clouds. ~,~
"In doing so," the findings, "it
is thought that ice collected on the
plane and possibly rendered inoper-
ative certain instruments that func-
tion through the air stream.
"Without these instruments to
assist the pilot, the plane apparent-
ly went into a steep dive. The re-
sults seem to indicate that on com-
ing out of this maneuver, the
change of direction occurred with
such unusual rapidity as to build
up an enormous load on the wings,
which in turn brought about the
wing failure.
The decision was changed, it was
explained, because a missing pro-
pellor had been found. It was
thought at first ice had shattered
the propeller, the subsequent vi-
bration tearing off a wing, but the
missing part was discovered buried
in the ground.

Bridge in Record Time
LA SPEZIA, Italy, April 8.-(P)--
An unusual engineering feat was
carried out on the railway line,
Parma-Spezia, in removing a rail-
road bridge in eighteen minutes.
The river Taro is crossed by an
iron span weighing 400 tons and
560 feet long, right at the mouth
of the Val Mottola tunnel. The,
bridge was shifted 17 feet to make
space for construction of a new
cement bridge.
