CRITICISED
Quebec Premier. Declares
Lone Eagle Made Victim
of Publicity No Criticism
of Air Hero, Who He
Admires Highly.
MONTREAL Que., April 26.
(By the Canadian Press Service)
Severe criticism of the (light to
carry serum from New York, to the
bedside of Floyd liennett has been
made by Premier L. A. Taschereau
I of Quebec and Provincial Secretary
Atlmnase David, but .Mr. David
made nlaiu that Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh's iwrt in the flteht was
entirely admirable.
,ln an address last night the pre
mier asserted thai ins flight was
entirely unnecessary as there was
plenty of serum in Canada. Mr. Da
vid, expanding on this statement,
expressed the belief that the flight
was a vulgar and spectacular pub
licity stunt in which unnamed per
sons had made use or Colonel
Lindbergh, himself entirely inno
cent of wrongdoing, to further their
selfish aims.
"As for Colonel Lindbergh," said
the provincial secretary, "I have
the utmost respect and admiration
for him. He reflects the bravery
of youth. 1 am his very great ad
mirer." Premier Taschcrau's remarks
were not so bitter, but he left no
doubt that he considered tho flight
unnecessary.
Lindbergh carried the scrum to
Canada after an offer to help by
tho Rockefeller institute had been
accepted over long distance tele
phone by Dr. A. L. Darac, New
York specialist sent to Quebec to
care for Bennett by the New York
World and the North American
Newspaper alliance, which spon
sored tho relief flight on which
Bennett fell 111.
Mr. Rockefeller was said to havo
Interested himself personally In the
matter and to have ap))eulcd to
Harry Guggenheim, president of
tile (auggenheim fund ton tho pro
motion of aeronautics, to secure
Lindbergh as courier. Lindbergh
immediately acceded to the request
when told it was for the purpose
of saving Bennett's life. Two types
of serum was carried, but after
they were delivered at the Quebec
hospital showed that Bennett was
suffering from a third type of pneu
monia for which it was said no
serum had been discovered.
NKW YORK, April 26. A The
first thought of offering aid to
Floyd Bennett from tho Rockefel
ler in.stilute, it was learned today.
oriKituiti'd in the mini) of John l.
Rbckffeller. Jr., who was deeply
moved by the plight of the famous
aviator, lie telephoned Dr. Simon
Flexner of the institute and asked
if there was not somethinK that
could he clone. iJr. Klcxner then
telephoned to Dr. A. I,. Barach.
New York specialist sent to Que
bec by the New York World and
the North American Newspaper
alliance which sponsored tho relief
flisht on which Bennett was taken
ill and asked if the Institute could
be of any service,
"Well." Dr. Barach wua reported
to have replied, "you might send
me some fresh serum number one
and number two. I probably could
pet it here but I d like to have It
on hand In case we find It is the
proper treatment."
On the busts of this conversa
tion between doctors It was decid
ed at once to send serum to Dr.
Barach and at this point the plan
to obtain Colonel Lindbergh's ser
vices .was evolved.
The seriousness of Bennett's
condition was known at the Insti
tute and It was felt that the case
was one In which minutes might
mean the difference between life
and death.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. April 26.
(P) Though Herbert Hoover is
assured the support of S t of
Ohio's 61 delegates to the na
tional republican convention as
a result of Tuesday's primary.
Just where the other 20, who
wore pledged to the late Senator
Frank 13. Willis, will swing their
support la unknown.
Hlnce the death of their leader
which occurred March 30, whlli
he was campaigning for the presi
dential nomination, the Willis
slate of delegates has advocated
candidacies of several other pos
sibilities. Among the list are
Vice-President Dawes, : native
Ohionn; Lowden, Curtis, Hughes
and Coolidgc. Entering the con
vention us an unlnstructed dele
gation. It Is not unlikely the Wil
lis slate will split Its strength.'
Tho democratic delegation, how
ever, will present a nearly solid
front, 47 of the state's 48 being
lined up to vote for formor Sena
tor Atlco Pomerene on the first
ballot at Houston. The othor
delegate, an a ntl -organization
member, is committed to Gov
ernor Smith of New York.
With Hoover piling up a most
convincing lead in the presidential
preference vote and obtaining thu
entire slate of the state's seven
dolegates at large, it was antici
pated tho result probably would
have an, effwjtuon..ihv, senatorial.,
race fur the unexpired term of
tho late Senator Willis. It was
considered probable that Thad H.
Brownt manager of Hoover's Ohio
campaign and dclogate to the na
tional convention, might seek the
nomination. On tho other hand,
thoro was considerable specula
tion as to the possible candidacy
of Carml A. Thompson, who mun
ugod tho Willis campaign.
With 8C67 precincts out of 8751
In the state reporting, Hoover
had 214.663 votes in the republt
ca npresidential preference today;
Olin J. Hons, a Columbus attor
ney had 8 1C9; Willis, whose name
remained on tho ballots 82,543;
