By the Associated Press. | PARIS, October 31.—Etienne Clemen- {tel, veteran French political leader, | went about in calm and businesslike | manner today the task of recruiting a ministry, as France entered its tenth day minus a government. He already has assured himself of | the collaboration of Aristide Briand, re- |signed premier, in the foreign office | portfolio and, report has it, of Henri | Cheron and Louis Loucher to continue in the finance and labor ministries, | His friends asserted there was every reason to believe he would have a tenta- tive ministry list ready to submit this | evening to President Doumergue. |~ The president yesterday called upon | him, after conferring with M. Briand |and after_announcement of failure by Edouard Daladier, M. Clementel's fel- low Radical Soclaist. | Center Group Foreseen. | It was expected the list would have |a close resemblance to the last cabinet | of Raymond Poincare and would, in ef- |fect, be a Center government, with a strong Leftist tinge. M. Clementel him- | self was said to intend to hold the com- | merce ministry. It was expected his Radical Socialist party would be allotted i the all-important interior portfolio. - Political circles estimated he would be able to count upon at least 320 votes | in the chamber, representing an ade. uate majority. It was hoped it would be stable enough to permit him to_hold office until the Young plan and Rhine- {land_evacuation are disposed of and the London Naval Conference is con- | cluded. Friend of President. M. Clementel is 65 years old, & veg- | etarian of 20 years' standing, a personal friend of President Doumergue and one of the best liked and most widely re- > |spected men in the French Chamber. | He enjoys a particularly good reputa- |tion as a sound authority on financial and economic questions. A heated controversy has arisen be- tween partisans of M. Daladier and M. | | Briand, the former considering M. | Briand responsible for his failure to | form a government. M. Briand has re. plied he is working to further the great- est interest of France, whether the gov- ernment is labeled Radical or Moderate. | CYRUS M.

By the Assoclated Press. HAVANA, October 31.—The_council of directors of the American Institute of International Law met at the Uni- versity of Havana yesterday afternoon with the most distinguished company to gather in the hall since the sixth Pan- American Conference two years ago. President Gerardo Machado was guest of honor, surrounded by his cabinet and with the picturesque palace guards drawn up at the doors. The meeting was opened by Dr. James Brown Scott of Washington, president of the insti- tute. . He told of the formation of the institute, of its developments along the lines of unifying laws of all nations and the objective of creating through the in- stitute and its permanent home in Havana a “Hague of the western world,” where disputes between American na- tions might be amicably adjusted. Dr. Antonio Sanchez de Bustamante of Cuba said law was humanity’s great- est friend and as such should be re- spected and revered by all peoples.

When they left, they had bitterly cold winds in their faces for two days, and although it was not far below zero. the temperature rapidly dropped to 20 and 40 below on the interior of the Barrier. They became soaked with perspiration traveling in the hot sun during the day and when they stopped at night, their outside clothing froze before they could | get it off. The sun was so warm that | at 20 below it melted a bag of pem- mican in one of the depots which had been improperly covered with snow and even melted the snow on canvas tanks. Retarded by Sharp Snow Ridges. About 75 miles out they came to a remarkable series of sastrugi, snow which has been driven and cut into| sharp ridges by the wind, flat on top | and with overhanging knifelike edges on | the windward sides. They were two or | three feet high and hard as flint, while between them the hollows were filled with soft snow. Traveling over these was very difficult and it explains the slow progress made by the supporting party over this part of the trail. It was in the midst of these sastrugi that the geological party left part of their loads in order to re- lieve the dogs. After reaching the 100-mile depot four days ago and finding that the sup- porting party had gone on, they left their loads and, with one light sledge each, started back for camp. ey traveled fast, coming the whole dis- tance in three days. The dazzling sun burned their faces and hurt their eyes, for they were fac- ing it all the way, as it is still too cold to travel in what would normally be hours of pight when the sun is low in the south. The skin was peeling from their cheeks and their lips were cracked and broken, Snowmobile Roaring Over Barrier. Day before yesterday they topped ome of the long hills on the Barrier and saw before them to the north a tiny black speck. It began to move and came down the slope toward them, throwing snow behind it and muttering to itself as it climbed again. It was the snow- mobile, full of fuel and scornful words for dogs. The snowmobile started four days ago after many vicissitudes. Jim Feury, the long-legged Irishman from Paterson, N. J., who drove it last year, dug it out of the snow about 10 days ago and went to work on its internal arrangements. e took the clutch out and cleaned it, fixed the treads, and one day, with the aid of half the camp, ran it out of the deep hole where it had been buried | all Winter. It became at once the center of ar- gument. Would it go on to Barrier or would it not?

In the last few weeks I have made two trips to the East and back on both the Western Air Express and the Transcontinental Air Transport.

By Radio to The Star and the New York Times. LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, October 29.—The five dog teams of geological party came back to camp last night, having taken their loads out and eager for seal meat instead of the pemmioan on which they had been feeding, the men just as anxious to get inside and eat a warm dinner in comfort. All five_ drivers, Norman Vaughan, out the load first on the Beating Antarctic the | and a half days. , the dogs tearing up the familiar inlet e Barrier sur- face near the camp, and Jim one afternoon heated the engine with a blow torch, cranked up and started off. The treads threw snow like a plow on a mountain division, but the snow- mobile ran merrily till it reached soft snow. It hesitated, stuck, its treads went down and it dug itself a nice eomfortable hole. Sverre Storm, the big Norwegian, handsome and stalwart, the strongest man in camp, had been put in charge of the party on the trail and he went over to see what was wrong. There was no getting the machine out under its own power. The anti- mechanists seemed in the ascendancy as Feury walked back to camp for a plank. The sleds werz unhitched and the plank ‘placed over a box and one end put under the rear axle housing. A heave and shift to one side, and the machine rested on solid surface again. Then the sleds were dragged up and hitched so that they ran between the tracks. It was a job moving them, until Storm grunted, put the rope over his shoulder and walked off with them, about 1,200 pounds. Feury Is Confident. “That was only a soft spot” said Feury. “She'll do it, I know she'll do it.” He climed up in the driver's seat again, the plank also being put aboard this time, and started up the slope north of the camp. The machine climbed it easily and, after circling around, came down. The commander and McKinley said they were satisfled that the experiment was worth trying and that afternoon the machine was taken down the bay. There it faced seven pressure ridges, some of 20 or 30 feet high. A path was shoveled through a low place in the first one, and Feury unhooked the sledges, started on a run for the opening | and went through the snow-filled gap quite easily. There the machine was left until the next morning. | There was none too much optimism as to the ability of the snow mobile to get through the pressure ridges, which extend for five or six miles to | where the first hill up the barrier be- ins. . The snowmobile is nothing but a small automobile, which in place of the front wheels has a pair of wide metal skis. There is an extra set of wheels in front of the rear driving wheels and around these two sets run metal treads linked together so that they grip the snow. They work ex- cellently on a hard surface, but are like scoops when the surface is soft. The next morning, Feny took his blow torch and went across the first ridge to where the car sat. Mac fol- lowed and then Blackie with a few others who were to help shovel a path for it when necessary through ridges. Strom waited in camp to get his final instructions from the commander to take every precaution. Buzzes Along at 10-Mile Gait. The sleds were hooked up and off they went. buzzing along at about 10 iles an hour. ‘They got around most of the ridges, ‘but_finally one loomed up which had to be crossed. A low place was found where, with shoveling, a steep slope of | soft snow could be made. Feury grinned | and started at it, the engine wide open | and snow flying, until the machine was | almost hidden. It was over with a/ thump. It was smooth running again until the | final pressure ridge, where the first slope up the barrier begins. It didn't look very good, the snow was not hard and there might be concealed holes. Feury knew that the only war to make it was by keeping the machine going fast. He kept the car in first, and, turn- ing and twisting, plowed his way through. The sleds were hauled to the other side by hand. | A steep slope rises from the last pres- sure ridge to a terrace about five miles wide, lying just below the barrier prop- er. Half way up this slope the sleds were again hooked on and the snow- mobile hauled them the rest of the way. When a crevasse was reached, Mac- Strom and Blackie ran across with a rope tied to Feury. The snow bridge over the crevasse dips down and sags | a little. It was about 10 feet wide where it was crossed. Feury drove at the crevasse, leaning a little to one side so he could jump ! clear if anything happened, and the little car shot over to the other side in a moment. for crevasses are probably the greatest hazard they will encounter. They were all glad it was past. Blackie and Strom jumped on the trailing_sleds, waved thelr hands and were off. That was the last heard of the snowmobile until the men on the trail met it about 75 miles out. They have | a radio set, but it is only for emer- gencies. It had been on the trail then a day and a half. Several radiograms had been taken out for the geological party and Norman Vaughan got one there from his mother. Mail on the Barrier tralll That was a new expe- rience. Then the dog drivers turned homeward again and the snowmobile pushed on in its spray of snow. | (Copyright, 1929. by the New York Times Co. and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. All other day.

NEW YORK, October 31.—An Ameri- can oil operator in Venezuela arrived in New York vesterday to enlist the aid of the United States Government in es- tablishing his right to the baby which he says the Venezuelan government de- liberately is keeping from him. The operator, James E. Welsh, says Senator Willlam E. Borah of Idaho, chairman of the foreign relations com- mittee, has been apprised of the matter and has turned the case over to the State Department. Behind Welsh's story runs a tragedy of love apd melodramatic episodes. He describes his tribulations as follows: While in interior Bolivar Welsh met and fell in love with Senorita Anita Salazar. A child was born and the birth was entered as legitimate by Venezuelan officials despite the lack of a marriage certificate. Shortly there- after Welsh was called away to work. Returning some months later, he said, he found the child’s mother had been sold into white slavery. The baby was being cared for by its maternal grand- mother. Welsh took the child and had traversed 500 miles toward the drilling operations at which he worked when he was arrested and thrown into prison for kidnaping. He spent 43 days in fail before the courts found the kidnaping charge illegal and it was withdrawn. By not finding in his favor, however, the court left him without legal redress. Welsh then journeyed from Ciudad, Bolivar, to Caracas, where the American charge daffaircs aided him in getting a de- cision that allowed him custody of the child. The child then was turned over to friends in Ciudad, Bolivar, who in turn advised him he would be killed, they feared, should he attempt to claim his daughter. It was then, Welsh said, he decided to come to the United States to enlist the aid of the Government. He plans to go to Washington today to see Senator Borah, in whom he rests his hope.

October 31.— A gift of $500,000 from the Rockefeller | Foundation to Yale University has been used to acquire 200 acres of land near Orange Park, Fla, on which a labo-| ratory station for the breeding and | scientific study of anthropoid apes will | be erected. In announcing this yester- day, Dr, James Rowland Angell, presi- dent of Yale, said the Rockefeller | Foundation gift not only made possible | acquisition of ths land, but also the| erection of the station and its mainte- | nance for 10 years. One or'‘more of the species of an- thropoids will be studied. These in- clude the chimpanzee, the gorilla, the | orang-uton and the gibbon. Study will be made of the habits, social relations, | life history and psychobiological de- | velopment of these animals, because of their close relation to man structurally and functionally and their resemblance to him in their ability to learn. | The psychobiologic studies will be in observational field camps in Africa and Malaysia, already begun by Dr. Harold Clyde Bingham of Yale, and in Belgian Kongo, Central Africa.
