HOOVER EN ROUTE TOYORKTOWN FETE | President and Party Boards; U. S. S. Arkansas at An- napolis for Trip. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. ‘WITH PRESIDENT HOOVER ABOARD U. B. 8. ARKANSAS, Oc- tober 17.—Following his departure from Washington this afternoon, which was considerably delayed by an important and prolonged conference at the White House, President Hoover is tonight comfortably quartered aboard the bat- tleship Arkansas to spend the weck end cruising about the waters of the lower Chesapeake and the Virginia capes, preliminary to participating in the ses%\(ncenwnnm celebration Monday at Yorktown, Va. ‘The President’s day was a long, hard one that kept him busily engaged throughout and, as he was piped over the side of this monster fighting ship, it was evident that he was happy to be away fro mhis office and that he was looking forward to the rest and rela: tion awaiting him on this brief trip. ‘This is the second time since be- coming President that Mr. Hoover has used a battleship as a means of trans- portation, the former occasion being early last Spring when he visited Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands aboard the U. S S Arizona The journcy from Washington to Annapolis, where Mr. and Mrs. Hoover and the members of their party boarded launches to be taken oui to the Ar- kansas, anchored at the mouth of the Severn River, about 4 miles away, was made in automobiles. Because of the lateness of the hour and the regulations not calling for salutes or other honors after sun- down, presidential honors upon Mr. Hoover's arrival within the gates of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis were dispensed with. How- ever, the car came to a stop a short distance beyond the gates for Rear Ad- ‘miral Hart, superintendent of the acad- emy, formally to welcome the Presi- dent and First Lady and to accompany them through the grounds to the dock. Capt. P. W. Foote, commander of the vessel, and their respective stafls welcomed the Chief Executive, the Pirst Lady and the members of the party. Capt. Foote personally escorted the President and Mrs. Hoover (o his pri- vate quarters atop the forward super- structure, which he has turned over to them for their use during this voy- age. Other officers of the staff accom- panied the other members of the party to the quarters assigned to them and soon afterward dinner was served. Others 1n the party are Mrs. Chafles Francis Adams, wife of the Secretary of the Navy: Admiral W. V. Pratt, chief of naval operations, and Mrs. Pratt; Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, president pro tem of the Senate; Ernest Lec Jahncke, Assistant Secretary of the Navy: Capt. C. Russell Train_and Col. Campbell B. Hodges, the President's naval and military aides, respectively; Lawrence Richey, ‘Walter H. Newton and Theodore Joslin, presidential secretaries, and Capt. J. T. Boone, U. S.

Reports from 100 cities included in the survey showed an increase in the number of transients since 1929, in some communities running as high as 200 per cent. Fred C. Croxton, assistant director of the President’s organization, said the tunity for work or relief exists, as a Tule, in the home localities of the unem- ploved.” The Travelers' Aid report to the Un- employment Committee said “drought, floods, war, famine and anything that brings unusual pressure in one place re- sults in individuals and families moving to new pastures in the hope of finding better ones.” “If people stay at home,” it added, “relatives, friends, private or public charity of necessity must help them, but if they wander off among strangers, while individuals or groups may offer temporary hospitality. they are likely to find scant welcome from public au- thorities, who find the task of caring for their own poor a heavy burden.” Car Victim Badly Hurt.

This afternoon’s pageant program. divided between a field stage and the battlefield itself, traced brilliantly a scries of the highlights of the Yorktown campaign, from its inception in the minds of Washington, Rochambeau and Admiral ¢e Grasse up to the dramatic moment when a British officer appeared | on the British earthworks waving & white flag in token of surrender. Other Events on Stage. The scenes given on the stage rep- resented events necessary to a clear understanding of the campaign which took place away from Yorktown. The scenes which took place in the Vir- ginia peninsula and before the en- trenchment of Yorktown were shown on the field by 2,500 troops. The pageantry opened with the famous conference between Washington and RochaTbeau at Weathersfield, Conn., on May 21, 1781, when the idea of a joint campaign against the British was born. ‘The part of the leader of the first American Army was taken by a | | Junior_officer_in the Army of today First Lieut. Bovey M. Hall, 34th In- fantry—and other officers of the vari- ous branches of the service took other | leading military roles. | From Weathersfield the action moved | to a tavern on the shores of the Chesa- | peake early in July, while pilots were being engaged for the French fleet in the maneuvers which carried it into the peaceful stretches of the York River. As the stage was cleared far off across the field, through the brush and woods could be seen the movement of a column of scarlet-coated British troops re-enacting the maneuvers of Cornwallis which Jed to the important battle at Greenspring, across the peninsula on the banks of the James. Here a charge by “Mad” Anthony Wayne, under com- mand of Lafayette, staved off an Ameri- can defeat and sent Cornwallis into the trap at Yorktown from which he emerged only in utter defeat. The close-order tactics of the armies of 150 years ago, including the firing of vol- leys by platoons, were vividly repro- duced by troops trained today in a type of battle tactics so utterly different as to afford scarcely any ground for com- parison. Bayonet Charge Re-enacted. Back on the stage, as the smoke of the battle was driven off by a stiff, chill breeze, Washington, at his headquarters on the Hudson, received the welcome word that De Grasse was under way for the Chesapeake. The scene shifted to show the unhappy effect of the same news on Sir I">nry Clinton, British com- mander in .merica, during the last days of August, 1781. The final stage scene. showing Washington and Ro- chambeau on the flagship of Admiral de Grasse, off Yorktown, where the final tactical arrangements were made, paved the way for the battle before Yorktown. Here on the battlefield the American and French forces were shown at the crisis of the siege, when the storming of two redoubts at the point of the bayonet paved the way for the fihal assault which resulted in Corn- wallis’ surrender. Tomorrow's program will be devoted to religious celebrations of the Sesqui- centennial, with services at Yorktown and out on the battlefield. At the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, a luncheon will be given in honor of Marshal Petain and other European guests of the United States, There will be dedicated at the college A tablet in memory of the French heroes who died at Willlamsburg from wounds received at the siege of York- town. Addresses will be made by Marshal Petain and Gen. Pershing. At Yorktown tomorrow afternoon tablets will be unveiled in honor of Thomas Nelson, jr., and Maj. William Gooch, followed by military religious services at the eelebration area. The day’s program will close with a reunion of some of those present at the York- town centennial celebration 50 years ago. LADY ASTOR SENDS REGRETS. Dazed Civilization Needs U.

C., OCTOBER 18, Hoover Off for Yorktown | |POLITICAL UNREST IN MAJOR PARTIES Early Bids of Hoover and Roosevelt for Leadership Challenged by Foes. BY BYRON PRICE. By the Assoctated Press. New stirrings of political unrest, agi- tating Republican and Democratic pre- cincts alike, are challenging the early bids of President Hoover and Gov. Roosevelt of New York for the leader- ship of their respective parties in 1932. Nearly all of the practical politicians still think Mr. Hoover will be renc inated, and is as likely as not to have Mr. Rooseveli as his Democratic oppo- nent. But it now is recognized that neither will escape organized oppo ‘iion of a strengtlf still to be determined. Former President Coolidge's renun- ciation has not stilled the anti-Hoover Republicans, but has diverted their activities into new channels. The cam- paign for Roosevelt has encountered a widening circle of counter-endeavors, plus & recommendation by former Gov. Smith that one of the Roosevelt con- stitutional amendments in the New York election be thrown out of the: window by the voters. Hard Political Winter. A large number of State organiza- tions, in both parties, are in a condi- tion of studied hesitaticn. With the business situation unsettled and a Con- | gress of uncertain proclivities about to . men and measu must pass through the test of a hard political | Winter before a single convention dele- gate s chosen. So far as actual commitmerits are concerned, many State leaders are sub- Jecting all candidacies to the thunders of complete silence. President Hoover has the advantage of a friendly natienal party organiza- tion. His renomination is in the cards if the party is to follow the precedent of a half century. The appeal of Mr. Coolidge for precedent and regularity is echoed widely among the Old Guard. Mr. Hoover's opponents concede that if he ‘can be beaten for renomination, it will be only after a stubborn, uphill battle. The opposition to him takes two di- rections. One group. under the cap- | taincy of Horace Mann. the Hoover Southern manager in 1928. is making an organized cffort to harvest delegates instructed for otbers or else uninstruct- ed. Most of the party stalwarts greatly discount this movement. but it is con- tinuing with energy, both in the South and elsewhere, Opposition in West.

Roosovelt has the advantage of being | the only Democratic aspirant for whom | a campaign is_in progress in any na- tional sense. There is widespread talk of Newton D. Baker, but no co-ordi- nated movement has appeared. Among the Roosevelt followers, in- quirers are reminded of the political adage that “You can't beat somebody with nobody.
