BRAWLEY, Calif, January 3—Ray Morley, wealthy cattle raiser of New Mexico and Imperial Valley, Calif., left will represent the Cattlemen’s Associa- tion of the Southwest in an effort to secure a resolution by Congress to hold in suspense for claims the profits of the War Finance Corporation. Morley and his associates claim that the War Pinance Corporation, which was orghnized on a non-profit basis, amassed $88,000,000 in profits from its loans; that possession of this money is illegal and that profits are subject to claim by borrowers, the majority of whom were cattlemen in the Southwest If the order to hold in suspense is not given, the profit of the Finance Corporation, which has been ordered dissolved by March 4, will go to the United States Treasury. The leader of the Cattlemen’s Asso- ciation further said that the War Fi- nance’ Corporation, by forcing liquida- tion in 1921, threw \housands of head of cattle on the mark:t under Govern- ment auction as price: began to climb and the resultant sharp break in the market ruined cattle raisers financially. Many Imperial Valley, Arizona and New Mexico cattlemen were bankrupt by by that action, he declared. Morley said that if his organization is successful in obtaining the order for suspense, it will present claims amount- | ing to many millions and suggest relief legislation, to be paid out of the re- mainder of the profits. The fight in ‘Washington will be opened by cattlemen January 8. A New Mexico Senator and a Representative from that State were il:;i to be willing to sponsor the reso- ution. LIEUT. CALL BURIED.

Byrd MONTREAL, Quebec, January 3 (#).—George A. Wendt, a friend of Comdr. Richard E. Byrd, to- day announced receipt of a radio message from the Antarctic_ex- plorer, announcing Comdr. Byrd and his party were camped ‘on the great ice barrier at the Bay of Whales. The message was from “th most. southerly radio equipped place in the world,” the Byrd expedition's base on the great ice barrier along the Bay of Whales. It was relayed via the flagship of the expedition, the City of New York. The commander said he and his party had received the New Year day program of a Pitts- burgh radio station. BYRD CELEBRATES NEW YEAR ON IGE Drinks Toast in Tea at Bean Dinner on Frozen Ant- arctic Barrier. (Continued From First Page.) ridge ice, which are forced up by wind and tide as the edge of the frozen bay is held by the high snow cliffs of the barrier. There is no land whatever in sight, only the snow-covered surface of the bay and the ice barrier and the green- ish-blue ice’of the barrier walls. Adds to Map. The barrier is subpermanent, but the bay ice shifts out in the Summer; and we are now anxiously awaiting for this to happen so that we can more readily get our supplies to our base. Vaughan and I feel that our New Year eve journey has not been fruit- less, for we have been able to put some- thing on the maps of the school chil- dren. We have found that, since the Bay of Whales was for the first and last time surveyed and explored 17 years ago, there have been some changes, one of which was the formation, on the western side of the bay three miles from its entrance, of a harbor ‘about two miles wide and seven miles deep. This harbor, of course, is covered with ice and snow. One of our jobs will be to get an exact survey of it. A third thing that impresses me at this moment is as to my stout-hearted comrades, who keep cheerful and high- spirited regardless of labors and hard- ships. It can be nothing but a joy to go on the trail with such men, and those who have not had this experience are in a way unfortunate. Enjoys Absence of City Life. It is good to get away from the tele- phones, correspondents, city noises and the hectic rush of life as it is nowadays. We are well content for the time to live our life down here and let civilization toddle by. I come back again to the dogs. I admire them even more if possible than I have formerly. On our New Year sled jaunt our leader, Terror, pulled until he could hardly stand any more. We put him on the sled for the rest of the trip, and now he has the special privilege of being permitted to curl up in the tent after a big feed. 4 Tomorrow he will be as good as new, what with the extraordinary come-back these Eskimo dogs have. Several days ago one of the dofi was taken with very bad cramps his legs so that he could not stand up. When we hitched up the team he staggered to the harness and fell in his place alongside the team. In spite of “hell and high water” he wanted to do his bit. At times they are great rascals. They are, I believe, the most pugna- cious creatures living du far as their own kind are concerned. They like nothing more than a good fight. Frequently the harness and lines are all messed up while on the trail by a battle in which all of the seven dogs take part. And as they are likely to injure each other severely, it is necessary to stop them at once; and, believe me, the drivers have their hands full, Hard To Hold Down. If they start a sledge journey with a light load, after a good night’s rest, they are so full of pep that it is im- possible to hold them down and pre- vent them from dashing over rough ice, upsetting the sledge. trange as it may seem, they appear to love to get into their harness, where they do such gruelling work. They do not mind the cold; no do we, as our skin clothing keeps us warm. It §s on_an average about 15 ‘or 20 degrees colder down here than it is in the Arctic. We are now going to tu.n into our reindeer-skin sleeping bags and after a little sleep, Vaughn and I will return to the ship and bring back six dog teams fully loaded to start the laying of the permanent base, which will be about 200 yards from this tent upon the ice barrier. The ice is way out in the bay this year an dour work is going to be slow year and our work is going 1o be done. 1t has been my great aim to get mate- rial and personnel safely to our main base. Safety of the personnel comes first and the elements down here are so capricious that it is very unwise to rush things, so we propose to go as surely as possible even though our prog- ress may be slower.

Charging that international bankers and business organizations, as well as foreign interests, were spending huge hums to win favor for the Kellogg anti- war pact, Representative Tinkham, Re- publican, Massachusetts, today intro- duced a resolution for a congressional investigation. 7 The resolution would provide for a select committee of five members, Who wYuld inquire into the source of the alleged propaganda funds. Tinkham de- clared the peace pact now before the Senate was a “dangerous and indirect advance toward entry” into the World Court and League of Nations and that international financiers sought its rati- fication as a safeguard for their foreign investments. Says Exceptions Nullify Pact. He also contended that the pact had been practically nullified by exceptions by various governments before signing it and that it would “inevitably lead to the destruction of our Navy while other nations are arming.” Already, he said, charges are being made that if the United States ratified the treaty and maintained an adequate Navy for de- fense it could be accused of “bad faith.” Acceptance of the treaty, he added, meant that the United States would be in the League’s . membership MODERN Will Rogers Says: NEW YORK CITY.—See where Mr. Hearst has offered twenty-five thousand now for some plan to get the eighteenth amendment out of the Constitution, and into effect. This ‘twenty-five is being thrown away on a lost cause, the same as Durant’s twenty-five, on the plan to enforce prohibition. It's not go- ing to be enforced, and it's not going to be taken out of the Constitution. And there is where I will win my five back on W. R., if he will bet me. But he is too smart to think either one of these will happen. It's in our Constitution, and will stay as long as there is a bottle left. QUAKE WRECKS HOUSES.

Muscle Shoals, in the opinion of Maj. Gen. Jadwin, chief of Army engineers, could be turned from a losing proposition immediately into a 4 per cent investment if the Govern- ment had authority to enter into the “right kind of a contract.” Testimony to this effect, made public today, was given by Gen. Jadwin be- fore a House subcommittee during con- ;x&]eratmn of the Army appropriation Asks Five-Year Contract. ‘While Jadwin did not go into details, Col. T. M. Robins testified that if the Government could make a contract for five years, under which the lessee would agree to take a minimum amount of power, a “certain income” would be guaranteed. “Why can you not do that?” asked Representative Barbour, Republican, California, a member of the subcom- mittee. “Because Congress has the matter under consideration,” ’Robins replied. Col. Robins declared that under the present agreement between the Govern- ment and the Alabama Power Co., the latter contracts to take power at Muscle Bhoals only when “otherwise they would have to start up their stand-by steam plants.” Last year, he said, the com- pany took so little power that the plant BATTERIES Ri ) 912w DUNLOP was shut downfor 39 days up to No- vember 1.

Asked if the power could not be sold to others, Robg; said an aj tion had been filed by the city of Muscle Shoals, Ala., to take power at the edge of the reservation, but the amount in- volved was so small that it would not pay the Government to furnish it. “We coyld do it,” he said, “if we had a number of customers, but the Ala- bama Power Co., our only real customer, now has the call on all our firm power if they want it, under the 30-day agree- ment.
