B—6 MACNIDER OPPOSED BY SEN. BROOKHART lowan Objects on “Personalx Grounds” to Suggested Appointment. THE SUND. THEY CAMPAIGNED TOGETHER In & letter to Senator Borah. chair- man of the Senate foreign relations | committee, Senator Brookhart of Iowa, | insurgent Republican, opposes the con- firmation of Col. Hanford MacNider of | his State for the position of Minister | to Canada. Senator Brookhart advises | Senator Borah that the appointee is! personally objectionable to him an puts the matter of rejection on per £onal grounds. Not only i has Senator Brookhart | written to Senator Borah, as head of | foreign relations, but he has conferred | with most of the members of the com- mittee and has advised them the selec- tion of MacNider is personally offensive to him and he will fight it to the limit Senator Borah will lay the letter of Benator Brookhart before the com- mittee, probably at the next regular meeting, and it will be up to that body to decide whether to recommend rejec- tion of the nomination because of the objections of the Jowa Senator. 1 It is recognized that, while it is| possible Col. MacNider may be con- firmed in the face of the opposition of Senator Brookhart, it is doubtful | whether he can be. It is a tradition of the Senate that when a Senator objects to an appointee on personal grounds, that objection is fatal to con- | firmation. Under the rule of senatorial courtesy such an objection is generally accepted by colleagues of the member | making it, though there have been occasional exceptions. H Senator Borah said yesterday he had | received Senator Brookhart's letter. He | did not make it public, or did he ex- press an opinion as to the result. He said the general Senate practice had deen that a personal objection by a Senator blocked confirmation, but there | had been a few exceptions. The fact that Senator Brookhart has determined to fight confirmation of Col. MacNider aroused the more inter- est yesterday by reason of the fact| the latter is a guest of President Hoover | this week end on the Rapidan. The feud between Senator Brookhart and Col. MacNider is of long standing ‘The two men are of different factions of the Republican party in Iowa. Col MacNider fought the election of Sen Yor Brookhart in 1924 after Brookl had been nominated on the Republican ticket, and used his influence to bring about election of Senator Daniel F. Steck, Democrat, and to hav: him seated in the Senate contest with Sen- ator Brookhart. Col. MacNider was Jormerly head of the American Legion ‘and formerly Assistant Secretary of ar.

By the Assoclated Press. ASBURY PARK, N. J. June T— “Yesterday's session of the 124th annual synod of the Reformed Church of America was marked by discussion of the question of a merger with the “United Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church of the United States At the end of the debate, the synod assed a recommendation instructing ts committee on closer relations with other denominations to ‘“continue its work of study and conference with the .Presbyterian Church of the United ‘Btates, the United Presbyterian Church, d other churches of the Presbyterian Jamily.” R. H. Robinson, elder of the Collegiate Church of New York, led the opposition to the recommendation, demanding that further official discussion of the merger be forbidden. He said it seemed un- “Yikely that unanimous approval of the proposed merger would ever be gained “In all sections of the church. The Rev.

PRESIDENT'S LATE DOG TUT HELPED TO PUT HIM OVER RECO!‘& One Of MOSt Remarkable in pO- litical or Canine Annals—Success Brought Parting BY REX COLLIER. “Tut,” king of the White House ken- nels, whose death is attributed to the strain of high office, will go down in ca- make his master President. Far-fetched? Well, possibly. No one can say definitely, of course, how much Tut had to do with the election of Herbert Hoover as Chief Executive. Tut, himself, was wholly unaware of the role he played in the last presi- dential campaign. But those who went ghrough that campaign. with the Hoover forces and who, from- -behind the scenes, viewed with concern the play of factors threat- ening the cause of their candidate, will tell you that Tut played an important part’in “selling” the Republican nomi- nee to some hesitant voters. One of the arguments that developed against Mr. Hoover in the campaign was that he was a “machine.” The former Commerce Secretary was pic- tured as a cold, fact-finding automaton whose principal inspiration in life was statistics and whose chief recreation was delving into Government reports and business surveys and figures. It was said he was devoid of that intan- gible something called “human inter- est”—an attribute with which his Dem- ocratic opponent was known to be brim full and running over. Human Interest Asset. Now, believe it or not, “human inter- est” is undoubtedly an invaluable asset to any man who essays to go before the rank and file of the American people and seek their favor. Popularity, after all, is what determines whether a peo- ple will choose this man or that man to preside over them. Popularity is not ciency or integrity or oratorical power. It goes deeper than that, touching the purely human qualities that appeal to the senses of the “common people.” Al Smith had those qualities beyond nine history as the dog who helped | the result merely of an official’s -effi- | ouse kennels, in the pose that made the Of True Friends. peradventure of a doubt. There were politicians supporting Mr. Hoover who knel their nominee also possessed | human _qualitics, but who feared he | lacked the showmanship of demonstrat- ing them in a campaign. One day the eye of a Hoover sup- | porter fell upon a picture that gave him an inspiration. It was a simple photograph of Herbert Hoover and Tut, in the garden of the Hoover residence on § street. One of the photographic news agencies had caught Mr. Hoover in an informal pose, patting the shaggy head of his faithful police dog. That picture possessed to the nth degree the indefinable “human interest,” some- thing that newspaper folk talk about | but cannot describe. It had “It.” Tut Picture Effective. That picture of Tut and his smiling master became one of the best bits of campaign material in the Republican | ammunition bag. It was enlarged into life-size portraits and framed, it was published broadcast in newspapers, magazines and campaign pamphlets, it | was autographed and sent to countless | admirers. | That this picture did much to coun- | teract the idea that Mr. Hoover was a | heartless robot, without the spark of human kindness deemed to be an es- sential attribute of one who is to rule a democracy, cannot be gainsaid. Just & dog recelving a kindly pat from his master—but the gesture was more eloquent than a hundred speeches of & mass of pamphlets seeking to con- vey the same idea.

NORWALK, Ohio, June 7.—A re- .newed hunt for a huge ape was planned here tonight as many residents in the western part of the city eontinued to be seriously frightened over reports that such & beast has been prowling in their neighborhood.
