SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN, 1 i -1 New York City Prepares for Greatest 'Tiger Hunt' TI HIS Republicans and Independent! In Fusion Party; McKee in Race for Post Also By GEORGE TURNER (Associated Press Writer) NEW YORK, Oct. 7. The greatest tiger hunt In modern times Is In full swing In this metropolis. Portents of battle fill the air as two expeditions converge on the lair of the tiger otherwise known as Tammany Hall with the object of driving him from control of the city at the tiiadrennlal election, Nov. 7.

Registration commences Monday and It is believed the 1932 mark, 2,339,617, will be exceeded. Until last week there was only one expedition, a fusion of Republicans and independents, headed by former Congressman Fiorello H. LaGuardia. Four years ago he was the Republican candidate and was defeated by James J. Walker by 800,000 votes.

As the fuslonlsts were preparing for the attack another expedition appeared in the offing, headed by Joseph V. McKee, a former acting mayor. He's a Democrat. Although he was not a candidate at the special election which resulted In the selection of John P. O'Brien to fill the vacancy caused by Jimmy Walk-er's resignation, McKee garnered 262,000 votes.

Fuslonlsts bitterly resented the McKee entry. There will be much sniping between the rival expeditions between now and election day. Meanwhile, the tiger Is primed for the conflict. He's somewhat Irritated, too, because at the recent primary election, Frank J. Prial, who was denied a Tammany nom ination, won the important desig nation of controller.

The tiger Is not going to give up his rich prizes without a struggle. And his most determined antagonists are aware of the strength of an organization which controls 14 of the 18 votes on the powerful board of estimate and also has 64 of the 65 votes in the board of aldermen. In its long history there have been but few times when Tammany has not been in absolute control. It is on the job every day in the year. Its ward leaders know by per-srfcal contact what's going on In their district.

The various clubhouses are busy places. So Is the main wigwam. The leaders see to it that the poor are provided for; that the children go on summer outings; that bonds are provided for those arrested. They also attend weddings, baptisms and funerals. A card index of voters is kept with meticulous care and the leaders are able to gauge sentiment accurately.

And then there's a war chest, apparently always full of "wampum" for campaigns. Most historians describe Tammany as the "oldest and most powerful" institution of its kind in America. It was founded in 1789, a fortnight after the establishment of the Federal Constitution. The legal name for Tammany, so far as politics Is concerned, is "the New York Democratic committee." Technically, it does not extend to other boroughs, but there is a close political alliance with the Democrats In the other four boroughs. The organization was named "the Society of St.

Tammany or Columbian order." (Tammany was an Indian chief who roamed these parts). It was organized as a benevolent and patriotic fraternal society.

HIT TAMMANY IN CAMPAIGNS Go West, Beauty, as Young Gal, Go Advises Styles Swing Toward Curves 1 fiN 1 1 Jt- W'LKWG WOMlH By GLADYS GLAD Noted expert on beauty, whom the late Florenz Zlegfeld described as "the most beautiful showgirl In the world." (Written for Central Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 7. When the famous Marlene Dietrich first ankled down Hollywood boulevard in complete male attire, a good many wlsies nodded knowingly and proclaimed that this, without a doubt, would prove to be the new fall style for fashion-wise femmes. Paris, they said, couldn't possibly Ignore a style so extreme and so notably sponsored. Paris, did, however.

And to the further confusion of the would-be smarties, Paris went to just the other extreme. She passed Marlene by without a glance, and brought her gaze to rest on Mae West. And now the buxom Mae is the model on which she is patterning her new fall styles. "Go West, young gal, go West" is the present battle cry of the Parisian stylists. Yes, we shall be as feminine as we can this fall.

The hour-glass figure is definitely In, and means to prove that women are made of curves, not angles. The new frocks are all designed along lines reminiscent of the gay nineties. And, as Mae herself says, the gal who wants to wear 'em must first have something to put into 'em. Mia MAV COrduMD1b tAfoH ('RtAMlP CHICKEM AMD PICK prsSEPTS West puffed out her chest, drew in her waist, and let her hips do as they wished Just the same. When all of Hollywood started dieting to achieve angular thinness, Mae continued to feast on creamed chicken, lobster Newburg and rich desserts without any qualms.

And now, Mae herself is setting the style for all the rest of the gals. Back in the gay nineties, the hour-glass figure was considered the acme of feminine loveliness. Grandpa regarded the famous Lil lian Russell a fine figure of a woman without any doubt. But in those days, the fashionable figure was not generally a healthy one. For women girded themselves with such stiff, heavy corsets that they constricted and misplaced important bodily organs.

The hour-glass figure to which we are reverting today is, I am glad to say, a modified one. Waists must be slender, of course. But they are not expected to be so slender that outside pressure must be brought to bear on them. Bulging, beefy hips are not fancied, either. But Mae Westian bosom is an abso- Mae West herself has never been I lute necessity.

Plans of the navy to test Its huge new V-type submarines for regular operations at great depths beneath the surface were revealed today.

The testing area will be rectangle, seven miles long and two miles wide, located five miles off the California coast abreast of Pigeon point and Point Ano Neav, midway between Monterey and San Francisco bays. There the big submarines, of which the navy has seven In commission and two more near completion, will make diving tests as deep as 300 feet and will lay on the sea floor at even greater depths. From results of these experiments, the navy hopes to materially widen tactical scope of Its new submarine fleet. Beginning today until completion of the experiments next month, the experimental area will be defined to passing mariners by four white cylindrical buoys. Before the actual experiments begin, about Oct.

9, the area will be dragged to guard against presence of unknown rock pinnacles by two navy minesweepers. On these dragging operations, the two minesweepers will fly the international flag and date of the start of the work will be broadcast to all ships. 4 Felony Charge Made As Wealth Said Hoax LOS ANGELES, Oct. 7.

With a doubtful view as to its outcome prevalent In some quarters, the steering committee of the world disarmament conference has been summoned for a secret session at Geneva next Monday afternoon. Although no one has had the courage to suggest a postponement of the full assembly meeting scheduled for a week from today, some delegates privately have said it might be better to await a clearing of the political atmosphere. Germany, the kingpin In the discussions, has been represented as possibly desiring the conference put over to allow Chancellor Adolf Hitler time to whip internal political affairs into a more desired shape. Whatever the outcome of these private expressions, the fact remains the situation has reached a delicate stage and much hard work remains to be done before any sort of disarmament convention can be born. One prominent Geneva representative described' disarmament as hovering dangerously near the rocks.

Secretary of State Hull at Washington admitted a "critical stage has been reached," with the outcome depending "to a large extent on the degree to which an aroused public opinion in all the countries proclaims there must be no failure." Roughly the situation bolls down to this: Germany Is determined to secure a realization of army equality a point won at Geneva last Dec. 11 embracing sufficient provisions for a projected army of 200,000 men, double the treaty of Versailles limit; and the disarming of her neighbors to a comparable level during a so-called "trial period." The reich was offered an army of 200,000 In the British disarmament plan broached by Britain's Scotch premier, Ramsay MacDonald, last spring. It is this plan which will come up first next week. France is equally determined not to back any rearming by Germany, is sold on the Idea of gaining assurances of national safety, and advocates the setting of stiff penaltJos i vtor Personally, I'm very much In favor of this new style, provided Of course, I don't approve of too plump a figure, for too much avoirdupois is not only unattractive, but unhealthy as well. But a little soft roundness here and there can't do any female much harm.

And it certainly should prove more attractive than a scrawny, angular silhouette. I'm more inclined to favor this style because It will at least give the bust and chest a chance for normal development. A pathetically large number of women simply ruined their bosoms during the flat-chested, boyish era because they felt that to achieve this type of that It is not carried to extremes, figure, they had to wear tight, Ill-fitting brassieres. They flattened for countries violating any pact which can be drawn up. The United States and Great Britain, although understood to be in step with France and Italy on general disarmament views, do not feel so kindly toward the French idea of penalties sanctions, the negotiators call them.

Another complicating factor Is the somewhat softly whispered suggestion that the whole problem be turned over to the signatories of Premier Mussolini's four-power European peace pact Italy, Great Britain, France and Germany. The Americans and Britons have indicated they also do not think much of this suggestion. The German stand has been put forward clearly both at home and at Geneva. Reich officialdom and the German press speak almost as one In declaring the next move is up to the other fellow. Germany, they assert, has been obedient as respects her Versailles restrictions; it now is time for those on the other side of the ledger to do something about the proposed equality.

Besides the 200,000 army, these equally armaments, the Germans are understood to believe, should include military planes and possibly submarines, also barred by the postwar treaty. 4 Revive 1913 Slaying As Suspect Arrested (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 7. James Loftus, 49 years old was in jail today pending Investigation of a 20-year-old murder which police had forgotten, but which he hadn't. Arrested during the American Legion parade as a pickpocket sus- i.

Ui pect, police looked up his record and discovered that on Jan. 7, 1913, he was wanted for murder. But the record didn't specify what murder, so Loftus came to the rescue. "In January, 1913," he said, "I read in the papers that I was wanted for the murder of 'Buck' Sohnei-der xxx. I told my father about it.

He was a politician. He asked me if I had killed Schneider. I told him I didn't. He said Forget SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1933 and restricted their bosoms much in the manner of Japanese girls. And in many cases, they did themselves a great, deal of Injury.

With the new, modified hour-glass figure, this danger to true figure loveliness will be eliminated. And what's more, it will at leat give women a chance to learn to breathe. A famous physician contends that few women ever draw a deep, full breath. They've forgotten how to breathe. And correct use of the lungs Is most important, for the lungs eliminate more than a third of the waste matter that continually forms In the body.

There are only two things required to make healthy breathing a simple and natural function, and they are proper posture and freedom from tight, restricting garments. Posture, of course, Is something that the individual must tend to herself. But the new Mie West-Ian style at least gives us the necessary chest freedom. All in all, the new figure standard has my full approval, Mae West claims that the only difference be tween her figure and Venus di that Venus doesn't have arms. Perhaps Mae's correct at that.

For the new figure standard certainly approaches more closely to Venus-like proportions than did the emaciated pencil silhouette and the flat, boyish, flapper type of figure. If, therefore, you desire to be in the fashion swim this autumn, and benefit yourself at the same time, do as the Parisian couturiers dictate: Go West, young gal, go West! (By United Press) ST. PAUL, Oct. 7. Moonlight canyon, until the police stepped in, was a paradise for lovers and an El Dorado in the making for the proprietor who charged them 10 cents per automobile load admission.

It developed In police court today that on Saturday night, when business was thriving. Dakota county police spied this sign at the canyon entrance: "Police stay out. Moonlight canyon. A private estate. Paradise for lovers and naturalists.

FRANTZ (Copyright 1933, by United Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Major Gen. A. W.

Greely, "grand old man of the North," at 90 still watches with eager Interest each new Invasion of the ice wastes of Arctic and Antarctic and takes careful note of the plans of Admiral Richard E. Byrd and other explorers. A generation of great figures has come and gone since the Greely ex pedition in 1882 put the American flag at 83 degrees 24 minutes north, surpassing the record held by an English explorer for three centuries, but his Interest in polar explora tion has never lagged. It Is barely a year since he revised his standard work "The Polar Regions." After Admiral Byrd's triumphal return from his Antarctic expedition of 1929-30, Greely wanted to resign In his favor the honorary presidency of the Explorers' club, but the offer was declined by the directors. SHARP OF EYE Still sharp of eye and ear and keen of mind, General Greely had the greatest thrill of his later years some months ago when he was a guest of honor at the Gridiron club.

1 am an old timer and out of this exploration business; the cheers of newspapermen pleased me more than anything in a long time," he said later. General Greely does not consider that the exploration of Antarctica has an importance to the world comparable to the conquest of Arc tic regions. The whole question of Antarc tic exploration is one of sentiment and Individual ambition," he said. "It is largely a sporting venture. The greatest interest there is in regard to the whaling Industry.

We should know where the whales go and whether they migrate regularly. "The Antarctic seas should be kept free to the world. The continent of Antarctica is not worth an allocation of sovereignty among the nations. Great Britain has taken over two areas in the Ant arctic for whaling. Norway has not accepted the British claim, nor has the United States ever taken action to give it recognition.

SAYS CLAIM JUST "The claim of the United States explorer Wilkes to the first discov ery of the Antarctic continent is absolutely correct, and now conceded by international authorities. The confusion on this question was due to a difference in dates between the Wilkes expedition and a contemporary French expedition." General Greely, 73 years in mili tary service, has watched the transportation of Arctic and Ant arctic exploration from the day of sailing ships and dog sleds to that of fast steamers and 200-mile per hour airplanes. Recalling the tragic loss of life in his expedition through the non-arrival of supply ships, General Greely said that none of his men had been lost in the course of exploration, but some had later per ished from starvation "through the neglect of the general government." One of the relief ships failed to reach its appointed destination be cause of inexperienced command, and the second ship was lost. 4 Ruling Lists Bank's Paper as Securities (By United Press) SAN FRAKCISCO, Oct. 7.

7. Front door deliveries of news stories seldom occur, but employes of the Associ ated Press in this city have "enjoyed" that experience. In the midst of recent fighting between soldiers and communists the scene of the most intense activity shifted twice to the front door of the Dlarlo de la Marina newspaper building, in which the Associated Press office is situated. Soldiers barricaded themselves behind stone pillars under the windows and balconies of the building and opened fire on snipers with rifles and machine guns. The noise of the firing was deafening inside the building, and it was almost Impossible to carry on telephone conversation.

Bullets peppered the stone walls with nerve-shattering regularity. Inside, the employes moved about in a half stoop and when the fire became heavier, reporters dropped to the floor, where they sprawled out and wrote their stories in longhand. Others crouched behind desks checking Injured lists at hospitals over the telephone. They were virtual prisoners In their offices because owners of the building had barred and locked all but one door and It was in the very center of the battle. Machine gun and rifle bullets flattened themselves against the doorway, but now and then some workers slipped out and surveyed the situation.

One civilian fell wounded In the doorway and comrades, working under heavy fire, tossed him Into an automobile and rushed away. An occasional lull would restore the normal office routine, but most of the time the lulls were short lived. (B Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.
