mediately enter into urgent
consultations with each other’’
should the risk of a nuclear
conflict arise.

East Room of the White House
a few hours’ before their

East Requires Attention
Reports received by Hoover since
his return from the West indicate
that the eastern situation requires
attention and his advisors are urg-
ing him to go into New York, Mas-
sachusetts and New Jersey for at
least one speech for each state and
more if time can be found for them.
After he has canvassed the east-
ern situation, he will be in a position
to map out fairly well his campaign
up to election time. It is certain
that he will take adavantage of his
swing back to his home in Califor-
nia to vote after making a series of
addresses. Whether, he will take
the northern route home, through
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana and
Oregon, or the southern route re-
mains to be determined. .
To Visit Middle West
Before that time he very probab-
ly will go into the Middlewest,
speaking at Chicago and some oth-
er cities, and also into the border
states, but these addresses are like-
ly to follow those in the East.
Should Hoover decide to make a
labor Day address next Mohday, it
will be in Wasington with a radio
hookup, it was stated today at his
office. . However, the candidate
thinks the time is too short for the
preparation of an address. —
Representatives of the Republican
candidate still were seeking today
to secure a building in which to
open his personal headquarters. ~
Can't Find Office Room
The delay is causing the nom-
inee some inconvenience as he has
no place to carry on his office work,
which is piling up. He also wants
a suitable assembling place for del-
egations that will come here to see
him and for the accommodaticn ot
newspaper correspondents.
| It is indicated that after the of-
fice is set up, Hoover will see the
correspondents much more fre-
quently than he did on ‘his © recent
western tour. He probably will talk
with them three times a week, but
there is no indication that he wil
