SHOOTS MOVIES OF ARCHEOLOGY WORK FROM AIR Explorer Films Excavation Into Mysteries of Near East. ftrimce Service CHICAGO, May 27.-Flyln* over the far-flung ruins of civilization which his own scientific Institution is busily exploring from the ground, Charles Breasted of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, has obtained 12.000 feet of unique motion picture film, showing the work of “the largest archeological research organization in the world.” Breasted, who Just has returned from his magic carpet flight over the broken magnificence of old Babylonia, Persia, Egypt and other near-astem countries, told his experiences today In a radio talk under auspices of Science Service, over the Columbia broadcasting system. "From Rutbah we flew on to Bagdad through a fiendish dust storm In which visibility was nil and progress was possible only by constantly establishing our position through radio. Captain Olley, who had never before flown this route, literally bisected the Bagdad airdrome, and brought us safely down. "After a sleepless, choking night, the dust settled as suddenly as it arose, and we were able to record in movies the work of our Iraq expedition, stationed about fifty miles out In the barren plain northeast cf Bagdad, where we are excavating two large ancient Babylonian cities, the largest ‘layers’ of which date from 2500 B. C." Pushing on toward Persia, the fliers met another dust storm, and had to climb to 12,000 feet to clear sunlight. At Shiraz, 5,000 feet above sea level, they left their plane for an automobile detour to Pcrsepolis, which Breasted describes as "the most magnificent site of the ancient world with the single exception of the Acropolis at Athens.” To visit the twelve sites where field expeditions of the institute are at work, the fliers had to circle most of the near east, from Egypt to Iraq, Persia, Turkey, Palestine, and back to Egypt again. Describing the near east as a great warehouse of buried cities and towns filled with the paraphernalia of man's daily existence thousands of years ago, Breasted said that the expeditions are able to reconstruct vividly the life o T a given period of past civilization.

THEY TELL ME

French lick springs hotel. May 27.—Members of the Democratic old guard are determined to have something to say about the complexion of the delegation to the national convention. They issued a flat to this effect following a series of informal conferences here. These discussions were no part of the state Democratic editorial meeting here, but were entirely spontaneous The old-timers have been shunted more or less into the background during the last year because the McNutt for Governor campaign has been In the hands of the grouj) known as the Young Turks. Asa result, the veterans have been content to stand offstage However, when it comes to so important a matter as selecting a President, they are claiming a right to be heard. Reports have been rife for some time that the young guard has been considering the election of a hand-picked delegation who would favor the nomination of Franklin D. Roosevelt. With the thirty delegates from Indiana added to those that he already has packed away in the bag, Roosevelt would be in a formidable position in the convention. Both groups, however, agree in declaring that no attempt to pledge the delegation should be made by the state convention, June 20-21. m a a The old-timers nurtured on the Taggart political philosophy of asruming an advantageous position end then, w'.-.cn the eng’ne is oiled rrd polished, hop aboard, are de-t'-rvoed ‘.hat there shall be no ccmmitnrmto. /I heugh Poosevelt is popular in T nj’.ar.s, ths ancients are not posiT e that ho will be the nominee. There is an undercurrent of feeling that he is stepped already and that the national convention may make its choice from a field of Newton D. Baker. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, and Speaker Jack Garner. All factions are outspoken in their opposition to A1 Smith, for they feel that his nomination would not help the ticket in Indiana this year, despite the fact that much of the liberal sentiment of the state is for the courageous 192 ft standard bearer. u * * There is no Jack Garner sentiment, because he is a Southern Democrat, and therefore, his nomination, it is feared, might lose Indiana Democracy the thousands of Negro votes which came into the party in the last two campaigns. Therefore, he is out. Ritchie, because of his outspoken wetness, is acceptable to many, but for this same reason it is believed he would lose the rural districts of the state. The Legionnaires and veterans who served while Baker was secretary of war, express great admiration for his qualities and openly declare that he probably would be the most able of the entire group, but they assert that his League of Nations stand is a heavy load in this state. it is a foregone conclusion that Thomas D. Taggart will be elected national committeeman, but there is a movement under way to defeat Mrs. James Riggs, of Sullivan, because of her alliance with the antiPeters group in the recent state chairmanship fight. No unit rule, which would make the delegation cast its thirty votes according to the decision of the majority of the delegates, will be adopted, but it is thought that the state will cast its vote as a whole.
