Huston, of Tennessee, who succeeds Dr. Hubert Work. The new chairman was the choice of President Hoover. Huston, a native of Indiana, was | rcared in Tennessee and is now a resident of New Yerk City. In his speech of acceptance, Hus- ton said the National Committee must be a year round task, not a | mere spasmodic campaign effort. The new chairman said he was severing all connection with firms with which he now holds executive posts in order to devote full time | to the work of the National Com- | mittee.

Huston PLANE FINDS 4 MAROONED ON PINNACLE / |Party Lost in Vicinity of Glacier on East Slope of Mount Shasta YREKA, Cal, Sept. a party of five persons were sighted late yesterday from an airplane, marooned on a pinnacle at the foot of a glacier on the east slope of | Mount Shasta. Those sighted were Mr. d Mrs. L. J. Bedwell, Mrs. Albert Bryson and Miss Rhoda Heney. Albert Bryson, fifth member of the party, was not located by the airplane, The five left McLoud on Sunday morning to seek wood for violins as Bedwell is a violin maker. The party presumably became lost when the women wandered off into a side trail and finally ended up on a pinnacle. A search was started early yes- terday+ and John Wilbank, pilot of one airplane discovered the four and dropped coffee and food to them then notified nearby towns of their positions and rescue par- ties were started out. It was not known late last night when the parties will reach the marooned four. succeeds Dr. Hubert ‘Work, who retires to private life after refusing an ambassadorship | and after nearly eight years of ser- vice in the cabinet and a year and more as chairman of the national committee. Work was the first of the Coo-| lidge cabinet openly to support Hoover’s candidacy for the presi- dential nomination, and unques- tionably that fact entered into his selection as director of the cam- paign in which Hoover was swept into the White House by an un- precedented majority of the elec- | toral college. But it is not alone in the affairs of the national committee that the Hoover influence is being felt. He is credited with having had a large hand in the selection of Senator George H. Moses, New Hampshire, to head the Republican Senatorial Campaign Gommittee. Moses was one of the first of the senators to declare’ for Hoover's nomination; was very active in the general campaign last year, and as he is a campaigner of long experi- ence his friends say that it was natural that Hoover should turn to him as director of the senatorial campaign. A strong believer in coordination, the President conceived the idea of closer co-operation between the na- tional and the senatorial and con- gressional campaign committees, and he selected Charles A. Dawson, a former member of Congress, to act as liaison officer between these three organizations. That means the creation of a new post in the National Committee; that of Executive Secretary. Daw- son will have that Job. When he first was selected there was a bit of mystery surrounding the sub- ject due to a disinclination of party leaders to make any formal an- nouncements pending the formal election of Dr. Work’s successor. ‘While the President is likely to adopt a neutral attitude in the party primary contests for Senators | and Representatives next spring; R g, Robertson, local attorney, and summer, some of those in his|jeft Juneau this morning on the counsels look for him to throw the |steamer Princess Louise on a busi- weight of his influence in certain |pess trip to Seattle.

LEADVILLE, Colo, Sept. 10— The flying public may learn what altitude does to human bodies from a series of experiments performed here by a group of Harvard scien- | tists. Leadville is 10,200 feet above sea level, the loftiest city in the coun- try. ‘The altitude here is found to re- duce energy about one-fifth. But there is nothing to indicate that a person who flies up to the two- mile level has any less strength when he lands. The experiments show a wonderful adaptability of the body, so that it 45 probable a flier reabsorbs the lost strength as fast as he approaches the earth. ‘The tests are made by Dr. D. B, Dill, head of the fatigue laboratory of Harvard University, with Dr. John H. Talbott, reséarch fellow; H. T. Edwards and 8. A. Oberg, chemists, and A. Pappenheimer, jr., all of the same laboratory. “The results of the experiments,” where they were lashed then left , Scannel was shot twice and stab- #0 find their way back.

This would indicate that a long distance runner, for exampie, could maintain four-fifths of the speed that he could at sea level. Concentration of oxygen in the lungs here is but about one-half that at sea level. Nevertheless, blood saturation in the lungs is ap- proximately 90 per cent, while at sea level it is only five per cent greater. This is one of the experi- ments which Dr. Hill says shows the wonderful adaptabi of the human body. The pressure of the lair here is about two-thirds of that at the low altitudes. ‘The methods the body uses to adapt itself to lofty altitudes are deeper breathing and changes in the properties of the blood and in kidney functions.
