He is definitely concentrating on securing control of the California delegation to the Republican National Convention, and he has been indefatigable traveling around the country visiting editors and politicians even in the smallest towns. All of this was the subject of discussion between two Republican leaders, Alexander Smith of Trenton, N. and Ronald Bridges, brother of New Hampshire's Senator Bridges, who is an active Republican candidate.

"Bridges Hoover's activity was confusing to the party and that the ex- President owed it to the other candidates to make clear his position in regard to 1940. So it was suggested that they point this out to Mr. Hoover in a friendly way. "Smith phoned to New York, where Mr. Hoover was visiting, and they saw him next day.

NERVOUS BRIDGES Ronald Bridges' openeu up the conversation, but was a little nervous about it. After some hemming and hawing, however, lie finally conveyed the idea that many Republicans 'hoped Mr. Hoover would clarify his position about running again. Mr. Hoover, meanwhile, had eyed Mr.

Nine students were executed yesterday in the Nazi drive to put down freedom demonstrations, and today it was announced that three more had been executed "for attacking a German." The additional executions were announced as 10,000 imported German storm troopers ruled this capital of the Nazis' Bohemia- Moravia protectorate.

A spokesman at the office of Baron Konstantin Von Neurath, Nazi protector of Bohemia-Moravia, referred all inquiries for details of executions to the propaganda ministry in Berlin. Today's excutions, it was said, were for an attack on a German while the executions of students yesterday were for demonstrations "for freedom." In London former President Eduard Benes, commenting on German action in closing Czech academic institutions for three years said that "Germany's internal situation is becoming more difficult and Germany's position in the quarters insisted Prague was calm and that most of the people in Bohemia-Moravia were indiginant over the actions of the demonstrating students. But 10,000 Nazi storm troopers ruled Prague and dispatches said Czechs kept to themselves, avoiding even the streets and public places.

Berlin claimed three British planes attempted to raid the German naval base at Wilheimshaven yesterday but were driven off by antiaircraft fire and pursuit ships.

New interest in the Balkan situation was created by a demonstration of Rumanian friendship for Turkey when the Rumanians took the Governor of Istanbul on an inspection of Rumanian antiaircraft defenses in industrial centers. The action was considered significant in view of Turkey's treaty with Britain and France. It coincided with reports that Jugoslavia has agreed to Rumanian and Turkish proposals for a Balkan entente conftrence "to form a peace bloc in southeastern Europe against either Russian or German expansion. Reports said that Bulgaria may agree to sit in as an observer with Turkey, Greece, Jugoslavia and Rumania to discuss formation of a peace bloc. Italy, which is believed to favor formation of the Balkan peace bloc, devoted today to celebration of the fourth anniversary of League of Nations imposition of sanctions against her during the Ethiopian war.
