The big ship made the run from her home port, Frankfort-on-Main, to Lakehurst in 52 hours and 51 minutes, cutting 8 hours 34 minutes from her previous record, Lieut.

William W. Howes, First Assistant Postmaster General, has been promi- nently mentioned as President Roose- velt’s choice to take over the Post Office Department if Farley steps out. Meanwhile, in preparation for the big oratorical engagements ahead, leaders in the Democratic and Repub- lican camps devoted themselves to an assault on each other’s platforms. Describing the recent Democratic convention as marked by “mumbo- jumbo,” Republican Chairman John Hamilton told the Ohio Republican convention last night that the plat- form adopted at Philadelphia was in- tended “chiefly to hypnotize the vot- i | | “Aims to Benefit Clique.” Its aim, he said, was to return a “particular political individual and his clique to power” while the Republican platform was “constructive.” “Apart from its realistic dealing (See POLITICS, Page 5. {ALGIERS RIOT RENEWED Governor Goes to Paris for Con- | ferences Over Situation.

He expressed “acute anxiety” over the present European political situ- ation. Agreeing that sanctions have failed and should be lifted, Alberto Guani of Uruguay told the delegates the League system should be adapted to international realities. He pledged Uruguay's co-operation with the “work for justice and peace, to which all of the peoples on the American continent are devoted.” He referred in his speech to the insistence of Argentina that Ameri- can nations should hold to the doc- trine of non-recognition of territories acquired by force.
