The hall was a seething mass of humanity as the State standards were crowded forward to the platform front where Robinson stood gazing down on the uproar his words had started. He made no move for many minutes to quell the storm, although the struggle in the North Carolina delegation took place only & few feet in front of him, on the front row of the delegate seats on the center aisle. Pinally the Arkansas Senator began pounding with a huge mallet. “All gentlemen will be seated,” he shouted in a voice that carried even over the din and confusion. “Gentle- men will be seated promptly.” And he was right about it, for when he went coolly on with his speech a moment later silence was quickly ob- d a straight- plea against a party rift on Robinson's appeal for a harmonious solution of - the conven- t troublesome platform issue vered in direct phrase and with all of the force of his compelling de- livery.

HOUSTON, June 27.—Though pro- gressing at that Meisurely rate which, despite tall skyscrapers and boosters’ clubs, remains a characteristic of the dear old South, the Democratic national convention has progressed to that point where it provides food for thought upon that most engrossing question: “What is the difference between a Republican and a Democrat?” There are philosophical differences, of course, and some remnants of differ- ences of opinion upon what, at one time, were the burning issues of the age. But casting these aside, where they ought to be cast, what remains to differentiate between your average Republican delegate and your average Democratic delegate who attends a quadrennial political convention? Your average Republican delegate does not believe that his party is steep- ed in graft and corruption, that nothing has been done to jail grafters or that Calvin Coolidge’s habitual silence is in- dicative of anything but tremendously deep and serenely calm intellect. Your average Democratic delegate believes otherwise. But that difference of opinion is only the result of habit in thought, of heredity and environment. ‘The greatest difference is an emo- tional difference. And to it one may trace many unique contrasts which present themselves as the Democratic national convention begins to take its place in the bookcase of history along- side the Republican national conven- tion. To it one may trace many of the reasons that one prefers a Democrat to a Republican, or a Republican to a Democrat. ‘The division of the human race is not restricted to Republicans and Demo- crats. But there are two sorts of people in this would, and one sort would nat- urally be Democrats and the other sort (Continued on Page 7, Column 1.)

FIRSTVOTE SMITH 1 VIGTORY EXPECTED Ohio Support Held Sufficient to Give Governor Re- quired Majority. By the Assoclated Press. HOUSTON, June 27.—The nomina- tion of Alfred E.

Coincident with the decision of the State . to 3 de- on Meeker of Columbus, to shift the votes of thos¢ who are for Smith at any time_thereafter he sees fit. Meeker indicated that if the Ohlo votes would put the New Yorker over on the first ballot, they would be found in the Smith column before announce- ment of the roll call. Forty-four of the 48 Ohloans are listed as pro-Smith. Prior to today’s caucus the Reed and Smith factions had been claiming delegation. Reed's men control on the fourth ballot, when his fw né:ltzhm 10% votes, as against 9% for . decided that another caucus would be called in the convention hall to determine for whom the Oklahoma flzl;nuon would vote on the second ballot.

GOULD LINCOLN. Staff Correspondent of The Star. HOUSTON, Tex, June 27.—The Democratic national convention went wild with enthusiasm today when Sen- ator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas, per- manent chairman, declared that Thomas Jefferson “glorified in Virginia’s bill of rights guaranteeing religious freedom and rejoiced in the constitutional pro- vision that no religious test shall ever be required of any man seeking office.” It was regarded as a call to battle for Gov. Al Smith of New York, the probable nominee of the party for Pres- ident and a Catholic. While the gal- leries cheered wildly a parade of the States was started about the floor, with Al Smith delegates from all parts of the country joining in. Virginia's standard was in.the parade with the rest. The demonstration, the first Al Smith demonstration in the conven- tion, was continued for many minutes. The only States which did not get into the parade were Alabama, Florida and North Carolina. A fist fight, which resulted in the breaking of the North Carolina stand- ard, caused wild excitement. W. O. Sanders of North Carolina tried to get the standard away from former Gov. Newlands, The governor wouldn't let it go. AKtothe conclusion of the demonstra- don Senator Robinson urged the conven- tion to handle all business in an order- ly manner. , The convention, after perfecting its permanent organization, adjourned until 7:30 o'clock tonight. Under the rule adopted, nominating speeches for pres- ident may be made at that time if the platform 1s not ready for consideration by the convention. ‘Wet and Dry Issue Up. The wet and dry issue was hurled directly before the caMvention for the first time when Senator Robinson warn- ed against the adoption of a wet plank in the pltaform. - “Prompted by a desire to promote harmony and concert of action, it is suggested that no wet plank be in- serted in our platform,” he said. His remark was greeted with wild applause from the drys in the convention. But even so Senator Robinson was con- cillatory to those Democrats who are opposed to prohibition, for he added: “It is true the Democratic party is not a prohibition party. Neither is it an anti-prohibition party.” Democrats have always divided on the subject of prohibition. “Many sincerely advocate prohibition as an economic and moral measure. Others, belleving that its tendency is to encourage lawlessness, advocate sub- stantial changes in the Constitution and the laws. The fear that this convention will attempt to commit the party to a ‘wet’ platform has alarmed many Southern Democrats who favor the continuance of prohibition because of the evidence of its economic and moral value in the progress of the South. Pleads for Harmony. “To ignore the practical political aspect of this question is to invite and encourage division in our ranks and to submerge these fundamental issues for which we can unite and labor in con- cert, Let it be remembered as the Con- gress is now constituted and as it will be composed for many years, there ap- pears ne likelihood of repeal or nulifi- cation of the gighteenth amendment, The only 1mpofiam practical result to be expected from a wet platform is that it may drive out of the party many who favor prohibition and are unwilling to yield their views ugo’on the subject.” - ‘While Senator binson was urging the convention to moderation of the prohibition plank and to avold an open schism in their ranks over the wet and dry issue, the platform committee, head- ed by Senator Pittman of Nevada, was struggling with the plan. Gov. Dan Moody, the fighting Texan, a member of the committee, was leading the con- test for a plank declaring for the eight- eenth amendment and for the Volstead act and no modification. The consensus is that the comittee will bring in a majority report favor- ing law enforcement, including prohibition laws, and let it go at that. The plank will be similar, it is pre-| dicted, to that adopted by the national convention of 1924 in New York. Promise Floor Fight. The drys are promising a fight on the floor of the convention if they are not satisflied with the plank reported by the committee. Some of them are insisting that the convention shall go on record in this matter; that members of varlous State delegations shall “stand up and be counted” They even propose to poll some of the delegations on a record vote on the dry plank. ‘Thelr object 18 to show that the Demo- cratic party is not a wet party and to keep the record straight, even though the convention shall nominate Gov. Smith of New York, a wet. ‘They are looking forward to the na- tlonal campalgn four years from now, l‘«!llrvlnu that Smith will not the) Their danger, howev that" the convention, strongly pr Smith, may turn them down in thelr fnght for a plank to go much further than a mere pledge to enforce the pro- hibition law, If they are turned down, the Democratic party then will be in the position of having assumed a dis- tinetly wet tinge. Bmith's strength in the convention was tested for fhe first time today when the convention decided to seat the Smith delegation from Loulslana.

STUDENTS SMASH LOUVAIN PILLARS Demonstration Is Staged at Library in Row Over Inscription. By the Assoclated Press. LOUVAIN, Belgium, June 27.— De- spite the presence of four policemen, 300 Louvain students and civilians, demonstrating in favor of the American architect, Whitney Warren, invaded the new library works today and shattered to pleces the pillars of a balustrade which Rector Ladeuze desired to have erected instead of the architect's. Gendarmerie went on guard at the approaches to the library in order to prevent further troublg, particularly since there is much open espousal in Louvain of Mr. Warren's position against that of the rector. recent days there have been marches and countermarches of rep- rector over what inscription shall be placed over the restored structure.

BELIEVED KILLED N BURNING DIRIGIBLE Three Others Missing Since Starting Afoot Over Ice for Land. PLUNGE OF POLE SHIP DESCRIBED BY NOBILE Column of Smoke Seen Rising From Aircraft—Amundsen Reported Found. By the Associated Press. KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June 27.— Fear that six men who drifted away in the balloon part of the Italia after its crash on the Polar ice cap were dead prevailed today when it was learned that the airship had caught fire. Of sixteen men who left aboard the dirigible for the North Pole on May 2§ only six were known to be alive today. One man was killed. Three have been missing since they started afoot for land. Gen. Umberto Nobile said that soon after the dirigible crashed on May 25 the balloon part drifted to the east and a small column of smoke was seen ris- ing from it after it had gone about 10 kilometers (about six miles). The bal- loon then crashed. Nothing has been beard of the six men aboard. Returning from the North P May 24, the Italia ran into f weather and adverse winds. g her way toward Kings Bay, the dir] 3 at times was making a speed of less than 20 miles an hour. Plunged fo Ice Cap. Suddenly, Nobile advised, on the morning of May 25 the airship was weighted down, apparently by snow and ice forming on the bag. The craft plunged rapidly to the Polar ice cap north of Northeast Land. Nobile found it impossible to halt the rapid descent of the ship and it crashed. Vincenzo Pomella, motor attendant, was in the stern gondola. It was ripped off in striking the ice, crushing Pomella. the ensuing commotion he died. The cabin and part of the upper bracing also were torn away. All those in the cabin were hurled to the ice. One of Gen. Nobile's legs was fractured and his back injured. One of the legs of Natale Ceccioni, motor chief, was broken below the knee. Dr. Finn Malmgren, Swedish meteorologist, re- ceived bad contusions of the arm. The others hurled to the ice were Lieut. Alfredo Viglieri, Italian navy navigator: Prof. F. Behounek, meteorologist: Giuseppe Biogl: radio operator; Filippo Mariano, pilot, and Capt. Filippo Zappi. Italian navy navigator. A minute after the his companions Body of Pomella Found. Among the debris on the ice they found al! the instruments in the cabin. Later the body of Pomella was found and buried in the ice. In the meantime the balloon part of the Itaiia was drifting to the east. having been freed of the weigh gondolas and part of t. it had gone about 10 | column of smoke was T it. Nobile thought that either a gas or an oil tank had caught fire. The balloon crashed on the ice with its six occupants. These were Lieut.

Those who remained behind watched them make their way over the ice and found that they only made five miles on the first day. As they continued their march they disappeared from view and have not been seen since. In the meantime Nobile and his party painted the silk tent they had with them red to aid searchers. They labored at repairing the radio appar: tus, but feared that they would n be able to send over it again. Fin however, they got it in working | and started to send out calls for heip. The base ship Citta di MUano at Kin Bay. which had been on the alert for signals, caught the first message on June 9. Soon the Nobile party were able to send directions for their rescue Three times airplanes attempted to find them and fatled, although the No- bile party saw them each time. Then on June 20 Maj. Maddalena, flying an Italian seaplane and guided by radie messages the castaways, located them and dropped them supplies. On ihe night of June 23 a Swedish fiyer, Lieut. Einar-Pall Lundborg, with a plane equipped with skiis. landed on the ice floe near the Nobile party. He' took off Nobile, and the general was removed to the base ship, which had gone to Virgo Bay. When Lieut. Lund- borg tried to rescue the others, his ma- chine overturned, leaving him stranded on the fce with the five other members of the Nobile group. Fog Prevents Search. Fog and snow at Spitshergen co tinued today and prevented an tempt to search for the missing ¢ of the Italia or to save the six men on the ice.
