McCormick and Mrs. White were supported by the forces of County Commissioner John A. Carroll and County Assessor John Kehoe. After Riley and Mrs. Burchell were nominated by State Committeeman Patrick Duffy, votes in their favor were cast by Mrs.

Theo-dosia Kolenda of Nanticoke: Mrs. Loftua of Scranton; Joseph Bren- nan or uaroondale and Duffy. The McCormick-White candidacies were supported by Mrs. Gertrude Callahan of Pittston and Attorney Cletus Rogan of Hazleton. Rogan held the proxy of Stater Committeeman Joseph DrlscoU of Plymouth.

The dispute about the right to recognize the claim of Alice O'Brien of Avoca to. hold the place on the State Committee for which Mrs. Gertrude Callahan of Pittston ap parently received tne largest num oer or votes, was referred to the executive committee. The Mundy forces are protesting the election of Mrs. Callahan, contending that- it was obtained by fraud.

Relief Fund to Drought Area ,1 $1,300,000 Allocated to 5 States for Use in Work Projects CONGRESS TO ACT ON 525 MILLIONS Alleviating Rains Cease and 'Generally Fair Weather Forecast Washington, June 10 W). Addi tional relief funds poured out to drought-stricken states today as Federal officials worked through the week-end on the varied program for alleviating distress. Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins announced the apportion ment of $1,300,000 to five states for in work relief projects by farmers and city dwellers which will center on water and food conservation, Nevada received $50,000,, Colorado $500,000, Illinois $500,000, Arizona $100,000 and New Mexico $150,000. With the exception of New Mexico the grants, all of which are out right were the first to be allotted to these states.

Congress will begin consideration tomorrow of new relief funds totaling $525,000,000 asked by President Roosevelt in a message which declared that "unforeseen drought has visited disaster upon a large part of our country." Little delay was expected In passage of the appropriation. The funds would be divided as follows: $125,000,000 for human relief and a work program. $75,000,000 for livestock purchases. This would be in addition to the $150,000,000 already set aside under the Jones-Connally Act. $100,000,000 for shipping and relief use of beef.

$100,000,000 for emergency feed purchases and shipments. $50,000,000 for work camps to give employment for young men from cities and towns in the drought area $50,000,000 for buying submarglnal land and re-locating destitute farm families. $25,000,000 for purchasing seed for next year's crops and lending farmers funds to buy seed. None of these designations wilt' be followed strictly, however, if Congress follows the President's recommendation that "the authorization should be flexible" to meet any situation. Flood conditions In Northwestern Iowa, Southwestern Minnesota, and Southeastern South Dakota were abating today.

A mentholated cigaret caused a slower fall in finger tip temperature but the cooling effect was still strong, at 80 for a full hour and 40 minutes. The duration of cooling appeared to depend more on the individual than on the smoke. Fifty tests were made of the cooling of the skin at the base of fingernails while smoking standard brands. These showed average results much like the finger tip temperatures. Denicotinized and also mentholated clgarets gave similar averages to finger nail base temperatures.

John's June 10 W) Splintered wreckage and a small valise today identified a little schooner which rank with a crew of five during the night after a collision with the Steamship Silver City. Searching parties cruising about the placid waters north of Torbay came upon the mute evidence which established the victim as the Schooner Ethel Collett. She carried her captain, Martin Ford, and four seamen. None of the bodies were found. The ill-fated craft had discharged a cargo of lumber at Spaniards Bay Wednesday and apparently was proceeding to Carbonear when the accident occurred.

Capt. Edward Vardy of the Silver City wept openly today as he told of the collision and of the piercing, frantic cries of the five men who went down with their ship within 10 minutes. "For God's sake, save us," Capt. Vardy related the victims screamed as the Silver City sought to reach the side of the schooner which was swept away before the wind after the impact. Capt.

Vardy said he was below shortly after midnight after he had advised his men to watch out for schooners which might be In the vicinity. 4 He heard the -shrill blast of the Sliver City's whistle and then felt a sharp impact. He rushed on deck only to see the schooner drift helplessly away and disappear. For several hours the steamer cruised about the vicinity of the crash but none of the bodies could be located. The skipper said his craft was nroceedtng at the rate of seven knots and that the schooner was moving slightly faster.

He related the schooner had been sighted before the crash, coming South up the coast To avoid the schooner, he said the Silver City went to starboard. Officers on desk said the Ethel Collett came right ahead and that they were unable to avoid her. Capt. Vardy said there was no fog although it had been raining intermittently. QUADRUPLETS, 3 'Roosevelt Not Campaign Schnader Tells G.

0. P. Committee- Philadelphia, June 10 W) Republicans of Pennsylvania, following a new leader with factionalism apparently burled, today were ready to roll up their sleeves and begin the preliminary work of the Fall campaign. Members of the Republican State Committee chose M. Harvey Taylor, of Dauphin County, as State chairman at their meeting yesterday, and returned home pondering the strategy revealed by leadens and candidates for State-wide offices.

Attorney General William A. Schnader, their candidate for Governor, showed his line of attack in which he said "I am a candidate for a State office, not a Federal office. As far as I am concerned President Roosevelt is not and will not be an Issue in this campaign." Intention to strike at' Roosevelt policies was indicated, however, by United States Senator David A. Reed, nominated for a third term, and Henry, P. Fletcher, newly-elected chairman of the Republican national committee; Reed annealed for "preservation of the constitution" and a "revival of party discipline," while Fletcher asked that Reublican congressmen be elected "to put the brakes on what is going on in Washington." Taylor, the new chairman, who also is a Dauphin County commis sioner and candidate for secretary of internal affairs, said ail tactions of the party in Pennsylvania were united.

Mil mm HI mm REXFORD TUGWELL Tugwell to Run Gauntlet Today Foes Primed to Quiz Him on Views and Theories of Government Washington, June 10 W) A congressional committee tomorrow will subject Rexford G. Tugwell to the first direct questioning of his views and theories of government. The former, professor of economics has been a Conservative-Liberal issue since he became As sistant Secretary of Agriculture but always until now he personally has remained aloof from recurring Senate and House clashes centering about him. Tugwell'a summons 'by the Senate agriculture committee for questioning on his nomination as Undersecretary of Agriculture set his foes to scanning hie utterances before and after he became a pro fessorial advisor to the President and an official In hie Administra tion. By and large the agriculture com mittee la Regarded as friendly to Tugwell.

Among Its members, however, is Senator Hatfield (R-W Va) who has frequently said it seemed the Administration was headed toward Communism and that Tug well was helping to lead it in that direction; Little difficulty Is expected In approving Tugweil's name Tuesday noon the dead line set by the Senate for committee action. But there may be vigorous tilts before that time should the committee allow senators who are not members of the committee the privilege of asking Tugwell about his ideas. These would include not only orthodox Republicans but some Democrats who have grown restive under regulatory policies proposed by the White House and the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. Green Hits Changes In Housing Measure Washington, June 10 t--Crltl-elsm of Administration officials directed at the House Banking Committee's changes in President Roosevelt's housing bill today was augmented by condemnation from' William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor. The committee, said Green, in a formal statement, had reported a "totally Inadequate 1 housing bill that compiles neither with the needs of the country nor the wishes of the President.

Jacob C. Leonard of Lexington, N. a member of the committee which handled the merger, presiding, OIL, AGRICULTURE MEASURES SHELVED Silver, Drought Relief, Deficiency, Housing Await Action Washington, June 10 UP) Adjournment of Congress Saturday definitely became the goal of Democrats leaders today as they began plans to dump overboard some Administration favored measures.

The tip-off on adjournment plans came when It was learned that Vice President Garner had made reservations to leave by train June .16 for his home at Uvalde, Texas. Party leaders said today the only barrier that stood In the way of ending the eession Saturday was a situation that might develop over the steel strike. In that case, they conceded, an effort would be made i to obtain quick action on a modification of the Wagner Labor Dispute bill. Two important measures those giving Secretary Ickes and Secretary Wallace added power over the oil and agriculture industries-were said by one committee chairman to have been definitely shelved for this session. Only direct pressure from President Roosevelt will bring them out of committees.

II they should reach the House and Senate floors, advocates admit, they would prolong the session lor weeks because of their controversial nature. A party chieftain said today that with the passage of the silver bffl to be voted on in the Senate tomorrow -the $1,172,000,000 deficiency, the $525,000,000 drought relief, and housing bills, Congress would be ready to quit. However, the Senate has some treaties to consider and both branches have yet to act on conference reports on the deposit Insurance and industry loan bills. Senate passage of the silver bill w'ith but little change as it was approved by the House appeared certain. However, the 50 per cent profit tax on silver transactions since May 15 is strongly opposed.

The House plans tomorrow to consider the conference report on the bill to extend the temporary bank deposit Insurance act another year and then turn to the housing measure. With the exception of a few more measures of lesser importance, the House is ready to quit. Rexford G.

Kellogg Scouts War Menace Sees Connection Between Talk of World Conflict and Sale of Arms Washington, June fO OP). Fore seeing no possibility of another World War, Frank B. Kellogg said today he was "extremely gratified" tne senate had authorized an in vestlgation of munitions manufacture, and predicted its committee would uncover "startling revelations." "The Nye investlgatlnar commit tee will strike real pay dirt," the former Secretary of State and longtime peace advocate asserted with emphasis. The Nobel peace prize winner of iva, now approaching his elghtletn year, tapped his walking stick with vigor as he expressed his belief that there was a close and definite connection between "war talk" and the selling of armaments, and expressed his hope the Senate com mittee would dig deep into the whole "revolting business." "I see no probability of a World War again," the co-author of the Kellogg-Brland pact said. "Nations and peoples have come to their senses, and have not forgotten and win not soon forget the awful hor ror, misery and beastliness of the last conflict, which still has the world prostrate.

"Civilization nearly succumbed in that conflict, and It would be ruinednn another." Kellogg said he was convinced peace machinery built up since 1919 had and would continue to have a real effect in preventing future conflicts, but beyond that he. said he was convinced no people on the face of the earth today wanted war.

Cigaret Smoking Cools Skin, Scientists Find Tests by Physicians Reveal Drop of .10 Degrees in Temperature in 15 Minutes Cleveland, June 10 (Jf) Smoking one cigaret will cool the temperature of the skin on your finger tips by 10 to 12 degrees.

AND BOY This and other similar cooling due to smoking Is explained in one of the scientific exhibits set up tonight in preparation for the 85th annual meeting of the American Medical Association which begins a five, day session here tomorrow. Five thousand physicians are expected to attend. The cigaret exhibit shows the effects of tobacco smoking on the outer layers of the blood circulation, particularly those lying close to the skin. The tests were made by Irving Wright, A. Wilbur Duree, Joseph Ko vacs, Dean Moffat and Joseph Wiener of the New York post graduate, medical school and hospital of Columbia University.

It made no difference whether the cigaret contained denicotinized tobacco. The effect- was the same. But fake cigaret made of ground filter paper, failed to produce the cooling. A young man smoking a "standard brand" cigaret started with a finger-tip skin temperature of 02. This temperature dropped 10 degrees in 15 minutes while he was Sac City, June 10.
