HOOVER FACING ! I BATTLE WITHIN i G, O.PJANKS Turmoil Over Appointments May Sever Support of Party Heads. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec 19—When s he smoke of President Hoover's battle with congress cleared away today he found himself confronting prospective contests with his owri Republican organization which may overshadow his troubles of recent ' weeks. The New York City district attorneyship and a Minnesota judgeship offer him the most involved problem in appointments he has yet had to fajte. In both ‘lnstances, Republican organization! have served notice upon Mr. Hoover that they want one man. In New York City it is Keyes ■ Winter, behind whom is aligned the • new Republican state chairman,! Kineslan’d Macy; the President’s old friend and ally. Charles D. Hi’les, : and the New York state delegation in the house Trouble in New York In Minnesota it is Ernest Michael, .Minneapolis attorney, whose name has been urged upon the President by the whole Minnesota house delegation and by Senator Schall, the only Republican senator from that state. The New York situation is complicated further by the activity of the original Hoover organization there in behalf of Allan Fox for the district attorneyship. Among Fox’s chief sponsors is President Hoover’s friend William Hill. Unless President Hoover follows the demand of the Republican leaders of these two states, it is conceded he will alienate their affections. .There already have been indirect that he vail lose the support j cf softie of them, particularly Representative La Guarcfia: u m , N/f Y.), if he chooses to disregard recjrnmer.dations concerning the two veryimportant judicial posts. Compromise Not Likely With 1932 coming on and Mr. Hoover’s opportunity for renomination being discussed, the politicians here generally have expected Mr. Hoover might find it easier to grant the wishes of two such strong groups within his party. There are, however, strong indications at the White House, that he has no intention of so doing. The United Press has been informed that Mr. Hoover refemed the recommendations to AttorneyGeneral Mitchell and is prepared to accept the word of Mitchell as conclusive. Mitchell already has been criticised by Republican congressmen for his failure to heed their wishes and admonitions about appointments. Some Republican senate leaders have gone so far as to challenge the authenticity of Mitchell’s Republicanism because he has repeatedly turned down what they call “good Republicans.” Choices Doubtful Both appointments have now been so long delayed that it is possible the offices may be left vacant indefinitely. Acting District Attorney Manley has been carrying on in New York since former District Attorney Tuttle resigned. It is intimated that Manley has a good rhance of being the final choice because of the situation which has I arisen. There is no indication about the j choice for the Minnesota judgeship j for which Michael is being boosted. I It is a newly created office and may I be permitted to remain vacant for a while. Mitchell is a Minnesotan and is understood to be unalterably apposed to Michael. REFINE RADIUM PAINT Chemists at U. of Missouri Recover Small Amount of Element. By Science Service COLUMBIA.

Following is the explanation of Ripley's 'Believe It Or Not” which appeared in Thursday’s Times: The Porcelain Tower of Bangkok—The most notable works of architecture in Siam have some religious significance, and are marked by elaborate detail in ornament and design. When a vessel carrying fine porcelain from England was wrecked in the Gulf of Siam, some of the cargo was salvaged and Siamese craftsmen used the pottery to construct the remarkable porcelain tower. This structure is but one of the interesting and novel bits of architecture within the Siamese royal palace grounds in Bangkok Clyde Schooler Joined the Army at 14—Mr. Schooler, whose home is 132 Lorenz avenue, Akron, 0., was born Dec. 27, 1900.

Aviation U. S. AIRLINES BEST IN WORLD, DOOLITTLE SAYS Former Army Ace Reports Europe’s Commercial Planes Too Slow. DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 19.—1n an address before the Society of Automotive Engineers here, Lieutenant James H. Doolittle, one of America’s premier airmen, declared that United States air transport lines are far superior to those in Europe. Doolittje g drew his observations from a European tour made during the last summer by airplane. "Consider the Imperial line between London and Paris,” said Doolittle. “This is perhaps the most noted European airline. The operating company owns fifteen planes, all of them almost obsolete. The value of their ships roughly is $500,000. Recently Western Air Express spent $300,000 for additional planes to operate only between San Francisco and Los Angeles. “The cruising speed of European passenger planes is eighty miles an hour. In this country the cruising speed is at least 110 miles an hour, frequently higher. In Europe the largest planes carry
