FLIERS SIGHTED BY NOBILE FAIL TO SEE CAMP ON ICE

RED TENT IS OVERLOOKED IN GLAREJIF SUN Smoke Bombs Are Exploded to Attract Attention of Plane. RADIO TELLS STORY Ice Breaking Up: Speed Necessary in Rescue, Aviators Say. BY LARS HANSEN Alternate Navigator of the Italia ABOARD RESCUE STEAMSHIP BRAGANZA, June 18.—After twen-ty-six days of utter solitude in the arctic. General Umberto Nobile and his companions of the polar dirigible Italia, Sunday saw the first of the airplanes searching for them. Capt. Riiser-Larsen and Lieut. Luetzow Holm circled. Sunday, over Nobile’s encampment, in which he and five companions are sheltered, Nobile wirelessed today. Because of the blinding sunshine, . Nobile said, the aviators were not able to see the little red to attract their attention—that the Italia’s men had erected on the Ice. Nobile said he and his companions waved frantically to try and attract the attention of the Norwegian t aviators. Capt. Riiser-Larsen and Lieut. Luetzow Holm arrived back aboard the Braganza at 10 p. m. Sunday. Not until receipt of General Nobile’s radio message today did they know that they had flown over the little encampment on the drifting ice off Northeastland. As Nobile’s message that he had seen Riiser-Larsen’s plane crackled out over the arctic it was relayed instantaneouly by all receiving ships. The Citta Di Milano, the Italia’s base ship, received the entire message. Its relay received aboard the Braganza revealed that Nobile even had ignited smoke bombs, whose black smoke contrasted sharply with the dazzingly white ice.

Returning at 10 p. m., they reported that they had “intended if ' the weather was good to try their to proceed to General ' Nobile’s encampment.” Ice May Break Up Haste was necessary, they re- ; ported on ’their return, because they saw vast crevasses between ice floes off Northeastland ar.d the ice gradually was breaking up. Cape Platen is sixty-five miles (directly west of Foyn Island. It was east of Foyn Island that Nobile '•first reported his position when his emergency radio set began flashing out appeals for help.

The Pen Is — a a Ink Will Win the War for Herb or Al; Slogan’s the Thing.

By THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Corrcepondent WASHINGTON, June 18.— The coming campaign will be a holiday for the phrasemakers. It will be a battle of slogans. Hoover, though nQt a dramatic figure, inspired a whole unabridged sloganry—if such it might be called—during the war. From all indications his campaign managers are going to use the came tactics in the presidential battle. ‘Who but Hoover?” “WhoHoover?” These were some of the phrases used before the delegates answerd the first question, convincingly. • ana GOV. ALFRED E. SMITH, of • New York, also has been a sloganeer. From the East Side streets have come some racy phrases that have caught on. Smith probably will borrow some of these, or produce more in the same vein, if named the Democratic candidate. Long they have called the New York Governor “Al.” Incongrous as it may seem, they are beginning to call Hoover “Herb.” That bespeaks a human note that will be injected into the coming campaign. Just what turn the slogans will take cannot be told yet, but an effort will be made to "humanize” Hoover. Slogans are queer things. Often they are meaningless, but the most meaningless often catch on. n a u lively campaign songs already arc on the Hoover bandstand. Smith has “The Sidewalks of New York.” “He taught us to conserve—to preserve—and to serve” is a line in one of the Hoover songs, recalling the sugar-saving, meat-spar-ing days of the war. From Hoover’s farm enemies, has come the slogan—Borrowed from the war days. “Hooverize and Pauperize.” It’s going to be a pen and ink war.

0.0. P. PLANS FARMTACTIGS See Problem in Rural Areas of Six States. BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING KANSAS, CITY, Mo., June 18.— Republican leaders studying the problem of carrying the farm belt States, believe their main problem will be in about forty-five rural convention districts in six States. The belief is based on a study of the convention vote on the McNaryHaugen farm relief plank, which was 267 to 817. The Kansas and Nebraska delegations divided on the question, and Oklahoma was solidly against the McNary-Haugen plank. Illinois, North Dakota and South Dakota delegations voted solidly for the plank and Indiana, lowa and Minnesota cast large majorities for it. Much of the farm missionary work may be confined to rural Illinois,. rural Indiana. South and North Dakota, Minnesota and lowa. Farm feeling against Hoover in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, it is thought, is already largely allayed by the selection of Senator Curtis for vice president.
