FARM-AID SECTION OF SPEECH COMPLETED Teaves for San Francisco Home- coming and Fishing Trip Tomorrow. the Ass F STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif. July 26—Turning his attention to the second of the two outstanding issues thus far developed in the presidential eampeign—that of prohibition—Herbert Hoover is obtaining the views of Wil- Jiam J. Donovan, Assistant United tates Attorney General, and others on some phases of this subject. There naturally has been considerable speculation as to just what the Repub- lican presidential candidate is going to say on the question which Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic nominee, thrust 0 prominently into the campaign im- mediately after his nomination at Hous- ton, but some of Mr. Hoover’s advisers say he has not yet made up his own mind as to that. As an index to what mag, be expect- ed, however, they point to the nomi- nee's own declaration in his reply to the gquestionnaire submitted to him by Senator Borah of Idaho during the pre- convention campaign nouncement in the Republican platform adopted at Kansas City by almost a unanimous vote.

Tunney-Heeney Join the Crowd at The Eve Start at Rockford, Ill. By the Associated Press ROCKFORD, Ill, July 26.—After getting away to a perfect start at dawn on its projected flight from Rockford, 1L, to Stockholm, Sweden, the mono- plane Greater Rockford made a forced |landing 26 minutes later in a cornfield six miles from the alrport and on the opposite side of the Rock River from the take-off. A wing wis cracked and otifer dam- age done as a result of the landing, caused, the pilots said, by too heavy a load, with resulting inability to gain altitude. As a result future plans for the flight today were indefinite With the plane lying nose down, its engine in the ground and the left wing ruined, six miles west of Rockford, Pilots Bert Hassell and Parker Cramer | were taken back to the airport. Neither Man Is Hurt. Nelither Hassell nor Cramer was hurt. Hassell declared he would try it again, | but it was believed that another at- | tempt, even if the plane were repaired, | would be out of the question, and flight in a new plane was considered exceed- ingly doubtful After their original take-off the flyers headed West, but were unable to make the altitude necessary to clear the hills on the opposite side of Rock River. Hassell's wife said that he was greatly disappointed at the forced landing, but added that Cramer seemed in good spirits. She herself said she was both disappointed and relieved. Anout 6,000 people thronged the field as the flyers took off. Hassell's wife, who did not plan to come to the field, was there at the last minute to bid her husband farewell. Several out-of-town planes circled the field and bade the fiyers goad luck as they hopped. When three-quarters of the way down the runway, the plane left the ground Al 4:49 am, central stafdard time. ‘The Chamber of Commerce committee sponsoring the proposed flight called a meeting for today to consider the sit- uation It was reported some of the backers wanted to send the plane back to the factory, have it rebullt and make an- other attempt. However, Hassell has said the flight would have to be made before August 7 since after' that the Arctic conditions would not be satis- factory. No effort was made this morning toward removing the wrecked plane from the corn field. Cramer was home asleep and Hassell had returned to the Rockford alrport, but refused to tell his plans.
