HOOVER HAILED AS REAL CHIEF OF REPUBLICANS Moves All Calculated to Promote Party Harmony. By Ef-ripps-llotrnrd S etcsyiuier Allinnrt WASHINGTON, Jan. 29—Though his methods d.ffer from his predecessors. President Hoover has convinced pol.ticians by recent moves that he intends to exercise his povfer as actual leader of the Republican party. Hoover’s appointment of ex-Sen-ator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey as ambassador to France was designed to end party strife in that important state, and to advance the fortunes of Representative Frank In Fort, a close ally of the White pNfcouse. It appeared to be simply the selection of a prominent senator for an ambassadorial post, but it had a political background. Whether the President’s hope of pacifying all factions will be realised rema'ns to be seen, with Dwight W. Mcrrogr scheduled for the peace-making role. Political in Nature The selection of ex-Senator Sackett of Kentucky as ambassador to Berlin was considered political in Its nature. Representative John M. Robison, a staunch Hoover man, has been named as Sackett’s senatorial successor, and it is believed he will make a stronger candidate next fall than Sackett would have. Polltic.ans predict that the President will strive to prevent a bitter primary battle in Pennsylvania by retaining James J. Davis, secretary" of labor, in the cabinet longer than the one year assigned to him last March. If Davis is let out on March 4, or soon thereafter, he may make good his threat to combine with William S. Vare in a battle on the regular organization’s slate, which is expected to consist of Senator Grundy and Governor John S. Fisher. For Status Quo II the President lets Davis stay on, it will be hailed as a move to Jpn&intain the political status quo in the Keystone state. In New York the administration lent its influence to the movement to depose Jacob A. Livingston veteran Brooklyn boss, and to substitute Meier Steinbrink, a young lawyer and original Hoover man. The New York organization also expects Hoover, through his official and unofficial spokesman, to take a part In the selection of a man to run for Governor against Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democrats' presidential threat for 1932. AIR PENETRATES WALL Scientists Discover New Method of Preventing Leaks. By Science Service PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 29.—Wind blows right through brick walls. A well-laid thirteen-inch wall in the face of a thirty-mile an hour wind will allow 14.75 cubic feet of air to pass through it every hour, G. L. Larson, D. W. Nelson and C. Braatz reported this afternoon before the International Heating and Ventilating exposition being held here. This data is obtained from researches they have conducted at the University of Wisconsin. But proper plastering with gypsum directly on brick, they find, will stop 96 per cent of the leakage. Less air will leak through a wall w'hich has been well-constructed and in which all spaces between bricks are filled with mortar. rMERGER MOVE PROBED Senate Committee Asks Phone and Radio Deal Correspondence.

That Thunder May Be Schafer on Prohibition

Editor's Note: This is the fourth of a series of prohibition personality sketches. BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD t nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.—When a rumbling sound like distant thunder is heard in Statuary hall, midway between the house and senate chambers, Capitol guides tell their sightseeing parties: “John Schafer, Republican congressman from Wisconsin, is addressing the house on prohibition.” Schafer is the one member of the house who can be certain of a hearing when he rises to discuss the prohibition issue, not because he commands closer attention than others, but because the rest of the membership, no matter how disorderly, can not compete with his booming voice. A former locomotive engineer and soldier, Schafer received his forensic training in roundhouse and mess hall, training which serves him well in house debate. Interruptions from the floor and gavel pounding from the speakers’ rostrum, always features of prohibition debate, bother Schafer not at all. They merely stimulate him to greater effort. Stalking up and down the aisle waving his arms and shouting, Schafer denounces almost daily the Volstead law, the eighteenth amendment and every one in and out of official life who seeks to uphold them. When not preaching the anti-pro-hibition cause on the floor, he does it in the cloak rooms, in his office or at the neighborhood fire station he often visits. Prohibition is more than a political issue to him, it is a passion. He is an indefatigable worker as well as a tireless talker against prohibition. Often he is in his office until late at night preparing speeches and compiling data. Recently he gathered statistics on drunken driver arrests from every state in the union, particularly dry states. Representative Loring Black, waggish New York Democrat, dubbed Schaffer “Firpo” several years ago because of the resemblance between the pugilist from Argentina and the representative from Wisconsin. Shaffer weighs 250 pounds, stands well over six feet and is topped by a shock of thick, unruly yellow hair. He was bornin Milwaukee in 1893 and attended the public schools of Wauwatosa and West Allis, suburbs of the city. After a try at office work, he entered the engineer corps of the army and served on several fronts in the World war. Soon after returning from France,

he was elected to the Wisconsin legislature and then to congress, where he has remained for the last eight years. Mrs. Shafer is his secretary. X YOUTHFUL ‘JOYRIDING* DEFENDED BY SOLON Motor Theft Law Author Asks Humane Enforcement. lilt Scripps-Jloward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Speaking a good word for “youthful joyriders,” Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri, a prominent Republican member of the house judiciary committee, has served notice on the department of justice and the house that he will move for repeal of the national automobile theft act unless it is administered more humanely against America’s young bloods. Although conceding the effectiveness of the law, Dyer, author of the law, declared in a speech that too severe application of its terms is filling federal prisons and reformatories with young boys whose chief fault was that they were out for a good time.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Aviation ABANDON HOPES FOR SAFETY OF MISSING FLIERS Searchers Hunt in Snow and Ice for Eielson and Borland. Bu United Press NOME, Alaska, Jan. 29.—Cut off from the world by ninety miles of frozen Siberian tundra, sixteen men and dogs kept up the hunt for the bodies of Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Borland today in the face of cold and snowdrifts. Until they find the bodies of the ill-starred aviators, who crashed at full speed in an Arctic blizzard, or abandon hope and go back to the motor ship Nanuk, no news will filter out of frozen northland regarding the final fate of the airmen. The Nanuk, with its wireless set, is the only means of communication between the searchers and the world. The ice-locked ship was the objective at which Eielson and Borland pointed their plane when they started their errand of mercy to take off the crew and valuable furs. Four airplanes, carrying eight men flew the ninety miles between the Nanuk and the wreck of Eielson’s plane, to augment a ground searching party of eight already on the scene. The sixteen men hoped to have some assistance from sled dogs, with their uncanny scent, in finding bodies of the fliers in the drifted and ice-encrusted snow surrounding the plane wreckage to a depth of four to five feet. Any hope that the aviators, missing since Nov. 9, might be safe in some native encampment or trapper’s cabin was gone. Every effort was bent to find the bodies. Flare Lights Field" B.v Times Special CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—8 y dropping a flare 'when he is from 600 to 1.000 feet above an airdrome on which he is descending, an airplane pilot automatically switches on all boundary, obstruction and floodlights, says Popular Mechanics magazine. As the flare drops, it comes within range of a light-sensitive electric cell, set on top of a concrete pillar, three feet high, and controlling the airdrome lights. The location of the pillar is shown to the descending pilot by a triangle of colored lights. Two hundred feet away from the light cell the lit flare causes a minirte electric current to pass, and this is amplified in a series of relays until a powerful current travels through the airdrome and switches on all the landing lights.

Buddies Will Continue Search for Long-Lost Air Mail Pilot

Three of ‘Four Musketeers’ Win Firm’s Support for Long Vigil. By "SEA Service LAS VEGAS, Nev„ Jan. 29. When every one else gets tired of fighting blizzards and bitter cold of | southern Utah and Nevada in the search for Maurice (Maury) Gra- j ham. night mail pilot who has been missing since Jan. 11, Graham's ; three closest pals will take up the hunt and stick to it until the end. The three men who mean to find j the missing aviator if it takes a I year are Jimmy James, A1 de Gar- ; mo and Fred W. Kelly. They have an incentive that no other search- j ers have—they are hunting for their j best friend. Became Friends These three, with Graham, were ! the four original pilots of the West- j ern Air Express. They started fly- j ing the Salt Lake City-Los Angeles i mail route together, and because j of their close friendship became I known all along the line as the ! Western Air Express’ "Four Muske- j teers.” In the World war, Graham won | fame as the discoverer of the "Lost : Battalion,” in the Argonne forest, j James, De Garmo and Kelly, determined to find their missing comrade, have the full support and sympathy of Western Air Express officials. Superintendent C. C. Cole, who has directed the great hunt by land and by air, in which no fewer than forty-five airplanes have taken part at various times, has anticipated their wish. He plans to give the trio planes and equipment, after the other searchers give up, and let them hunt "where they choose and as long as they choose.” Obtained Leave De Garmo now is a pilot with the Boeing Air Transport, but as soon as Graham was reported missing he asked for and obtained a leave of absence so that he could join in the search. Kelly, formerly an Olympic hurdling star, is chief pilots on the Los Angeles-Salt Lake link of the West- I ern Air Express, and has never had i even a forced landing. In 1928 he j established a record by flying 115,- j 760 miles during the year. HOPE TO SAVE SAILORS 14 Remain on Stranded Steamer; Eight Taken Off; One Lost. By United Press PARIS, Jan. 29. Daybreak j brought hope of rescue today for fourteen men of the wrecked British steamer Knebworth, who have been huddled together in the forward part of the vessel since it broke in two on the rocks of Biar- ! ritz, after fighting a storm three clays. Darkness interfered Tuesday night with the efforts to remove the men, but it was believed they can be saved. Eight of their comrades have ! been taken off, but another was lost. BOY HELD FOR ROBBERY Home Set Afire Accidentally With j Matches, Police Charge. Charged with delinquency, a 15- | year-old boy was arrested today for 1 burglary of the home of William I Pate, 1872 Barth avenue. Pate’s home was set afire by the j lad accidentally, police say, when ! the boy lighted matches to search clothing in a closet in hope of finding money.

ROBBERS ARE ROUTED WHEN VICTIMS FIRE Coal Firm Employe. Filling Station Aid Shoot at Two Thieves. Two victims of thieves Tuesday night routed the intruders when they opened fire on them. Clarence Weaver, manager of the Weaver Coal Company. 11l South Leota street, fired a charge from a shotgun at a thief in the coal yard. The man was attempting to take tires off a truck when Weaver, lying in wait in the office because of similar thefts during the last few weeks, stepped out. When the man fled. Weaver fired at short range. The man escaped through a hole in the fence. Fires Three Shots George Showaiter, filling station operator at 3100 Troy avenue, fired three shots at a motorist, who drove away without paving for ten gallons of gasoline. The same man obtained five gallons of gasoline free at the filling station by the same trick a week ago, Showalter said. None of the bullets took effect, it is believed. Robert Petty, 19. 2715 North Gale street, was robbed of $25 by a lone bandit at a Standard Oil filling station, Commerce and Roosevelt avenues. The bandit locked Petty in a washroom. Wanted Big Money He made no attempt to take Petty’s small change, saying, “Give me the bills, I don't want the pennies."
