CURTIS APPLAUDS HOOVER;REMEDIES THE EVE Swept by Tropical Hurricane Last Night More Achieved Than in Any| Other Trade Crisis, He Declares. By the Assoclated Press. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., September 27.—Opening the Republican national campaign in West Virginia, Vice Presi- dent Curtis last night said President Hoover had done 10 times as much to Telieve economic distress as had been accomplished by any President in the Nation's history while facing peace- time distress. Curtis departed from a prepared speech in which he had laid heuvy; stress on tariffs. Citing relief measures sponsored by the President, he said he was “thank- | ful, even ardent Republican that I am, that the Democrats put patriotism above politics and supported these mea.ures recommended by the Presi- dent. In times of stress mo political party has a monoply on patriotism.” Faces Overflow Audience. Faced by an overflow audience with many standing along the walls end in the corridors of the Parkersburg High School Building he sald he had planned to discuss the tariff at length but would mention it only briefly to make it unnecessary for them to stand unduly Tong. He emphasized his approval cf the protective tariff and championed the Smoot-Hawley tariff act, conceding | some rate inequities in it, as protecting American workmen, farmers and manu- | facturers “from the lower standards of | living of other countries.” The Democratic party he charged | with changing its tariff stand every four years, sometimes against the tariff, he said, then for competitive tariff, then for a competitive tariff for reve- nue only. The latter type of tariff, he said, would benefit no one. Exports_have increased under Re- ublican _tariffs, he said, and imports ave decreased. Referring to Ameri- cans who go abroad to manufacture their products, he said they should pay the highest possible duty on goods shipped back to this country. Stating _ that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation had done much to relieve economic conditions. he said that of 3,600 loans made to banks 70 per cent went to banks in towns of 5,000 or less population. “You don’t find the big banks there” he said, and added loans made to railroads were 10 keep them out of the hands of receivers Cites Roosevelt Silence. Turning to immigration, he charged * that Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic nominee for President, “is silent on immigration” while the Re- publican candidates are against chean Toreign labor which he said drives out ‘American labor. He referred to “Roosevelt's speech in which he favored letting foreign nations pay their debts to this country by sell- ing their procuce here” and sald “1 want them to pay and in gold. I am opposed and so is the Republican party, to the cancelling of these war debts and want them to pay and pay n cash.” Curtis urged support for the Republi- can State ticket as well as the national candidates and praised United States Senator Henry D.

By the Assoclated Press. TACOMA, Wash, September 27.— Radio messages of mysterious origin, re- ported by an amateur radio operator, today told of hearing from the missing Japanese good-will fiyers late Sunday afternoon, some 24 hours after they should have landed at Nome, Alaska. The calls came presumably from & vessel in the Pacific. Willlam G. Gun- ston, Tacoma amateur, sald he first heard the messages late yesterday aft- - ernoon and more faintly late last night. All, he said, were garbled in trans- mission. Text of First Message. He said the first and plainest mes- sage read: - “Japanese airmen heard from this ship at 4:05 p.m. September 25. Loca- tion of airmen not given.” Gunston reported receiving the call letters “HKF” on 5112 meters, the call coming to all stations. International radio call listings do not give “HKF” and if it was a ship | iat sea, marine radlo operators sug- I.gested Gunston lost out on a letter of the call, as all have four letters. The amateur said he was able to distinguish | only the first four letters of the calling | ship. They were “GEOM.” Coast Guard on Alert. The Coast Guard notified its Bering Sea patrol to be on the alert for the messages. The cutter Northland, in Alaskan waters, reported it had heard no such call. The Japanese plane took off from Samushiro, Japan, at 5:35 a.m. Satur- day (3:35 p.m., Friday, Eastern stand- ard time) and was last definitely heard from about five hours later, approxi- ‘mately 750 miles northeast of Tokio.

The ship was caught in the ice in the Arctic Ocean, off Nova Zembla, and drifted for 14| months, the heipless prey of the ele- | ments. Holm used the opportunity to study the marine life of the frozen zone. Employing a trawlnet. he dragged up from the black depths of the ocean literally hundreds of different species of sea-living creatures.

Day and night the work went on. But the end was inevitable. “This drawing,” Holm explains, indi- cating a sketch in an unfinished condi- tior, “never was completed. I was busy with it when the floor of the cabin suddenly began to rise and crack. That was & sign that the ship was breaking up under the pressure of the ice. All hands had to turn out to save pro- visions and instruments before the wreck sank.” Party Rescued. The party was rescued and returned to Denmark.

The barometer at San Juan read 29.85 inches this morn- ing, after having dropped to 28.94 at 1 am.,, during the passege of the storm.
