1 COLD WAVE BLOCKS {5 HIELSON SEARCH !dMost Severe Weather of Sea- son Prevails on Siberian Arctic Coast. By the Assoclated Press. NOME, Alaska, December 30.—Hazy ;. Bkies and the coldest weather thus far this Winter continued today to_hinder “"aviators in Alaska and on the Siberian * Arctic coast in carrying on the search for the fiyers Carl Ben Eielson and Earl * Boriand, missing since .they left Teller " for the ice-bound trading ship Nanuk at Norta Cape, Siberia, seven weeks ago. The temperature dropped to 40 below zero here Iate last night and it was even colder at other points. The haze prevented Pilots Frank Dorbandt and Ed Young, operating from this coast, and Pilots Joe Crosson and Harold Gil- lam at the Nanuk, about 500 miles northeast of here, from taking off yes- terday. Big Airplanes to Begin Search. The squad of Canadian aviators, headed by Pilot Pat Reid, are expected | to fly their big cabin planes, brought | from the United States last week, from Fairbanks to Nome or Teller tomorrow or the next day. Pilct Matt Niemenen probably will guide them over 400 odd | miles of wasteland separating Fair- | banks from Bering Strait. They then will fly to North Cape to establish a base for rescue operations. | Flyers here plan to co-operate with the Russian aviators who have been as- signed to aid in the search by the Soviet government. Six Russian planes will be used, it was reported from Moscow. May Have Landed on Ice Floe. Reports that Russian natives had seen the missing flyers near St. Law- rence Island has turned attention to the possibility that they may have landed on an ice floe and floated with the current; which runs out of the Arctic Ocean into the Pacific at this season of the year. The island is southwest of here. The current passes close to its western tip, about 2,200 miles from here and about 300 miles to the south of the course Eielson was flying on November 9. RUSSIA PUSHES SEARCH. Powerful Seaplanes to Aid in Effort to Locate Eielson. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, December 30.—Spurred by reports from natives of icy Northern Si- beria that they had seen the plane of the missing American aviators, Carl Ben Eielson and Earl Borland, the Soviet government today intensified its search for the two men. Both have been miss- ing for nearly two months after a flight from Alaska to rescue the crew of an ice-bound fur ship. Ivan Chukhnovsky, one of those who | figured prominently in the rescue of the Italia survivors, with Pilots Straube, Alekseev and Sterligov, will leave tomor- row for Krasnoyarsk, in Central Siberia, and hope to leave from there by Janu- ary 6 for Cape North in a powerful sea- plane to take up the search, Capt. Milozorov of the Sobiet steamer Stavropol, which is frozen in the ice in| the vicinity of the section over which | the Americans aviators flew, was in- structed to send out two searching par- ties to investigate reports of natives they had seen the plane, and other reports of campfire smoke in an isolated place. One party will explore 75 miles west of Cape North and the other will search the coast line as far as Kiliuchinsk Bay. Search parties also will be sent out from Wrangel Island toward North Cape. My Russians to Make Study Here. NEW YORK, December 30 (#)—Sev- enteen Russian agricultural engineers arrived yesterday from Moscow on the liner Nieuw Amsterdam to study the manufacture of farming implements in the United States. They said the government is planning to con- struct the world's largest factory for the manufacture of agricultural ma- chinery and implements at Nijni-Novo- grod. SPECIAL NOTICE.

The note, which was sentby the Qui d'Orsay to the four other conference powers, affirmed that France would base her pclicy on the covenant of the League of Nations. L In essence, it meant that France re- garded the work of the conference as only preparatory to a later disarmament conference at Geneva, where land, air and sea strength would be discussed.

INPROVED RADIO Sun Spots Which Interfere With Broadcasting Are Fading, Savants Say. By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, December 30.— Improving radio reception for several | years, except for a brief period about a | year hence, was forecast at the Ameri- can Association for the Advancement of Science convention today by Harlan T. Stetson of Ohio Wesleyan University. Stetson based his prediction on what he described a “remarkable fulfillment” of a forecast to the effect of sun spots upon radio that. he and Dr. Greenleaf W. Pickard “ventured” before the asso- ciation a year.ago. This was that there sun spots this Fall, interfering with the broadeast band that the radio used for rograms. That, he said, was just what Dl:;ned this Fall, in October and No- vember, Eleven-Year Peak Over. Now, he said, he has additional evi- dence that the number of a big rise and fall each 11 years, a cir- cle within a circle. The big 11-year peak is over. “Forecasting on the basis of the 15- month cycle,” he said, “the year 1930 should show a general decrease in th number of sun spots as the year waxes, with corresponding increase in radio signal strength in the broadcast zone. By the end of 1930 and the beginning of 1931 the general rise of secondary sunspots. maximum should be evident. By 1931, however, it is believed we shall be so from the maximum 11-year ba mcmm:am radio reception | ve no su on as we had in 1928 and-1929.” Favors Weather Forecast. Still another hope for better radio was explained by Comdr, Heck of the United States Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey. This is in the “serious considera- tion being given to a proposition to ports” certain information about mag- netic conditions to aid radio operators and radio transmission studies, The information concerns, for one thing, the pecullar layer of atmosphere many miles aloft that is chemically changed by the sun’s rays and named the Kennelly-Heaviside layer. It is be- lieved to reflect radio -waves back earth- ' ward and to account for centain blind spots in reception. Predictions that science will save the world from war, its future inhabitants from starvation and present civilization from sensationalism were made in the dent, Dr. Robert A. Millikan, world- famous physicist, of California Institute of Technology. He talked on alleged sins of science. To all charges, he said, science replies very quijetly: “Pind out the facts; we have to live with them, anyway.” Denies War Charges. One charge is that science makes war more deadly, more horrible, less heroic. Answering, Dr. Millikan said: “Primitive man’s chief tools were probably arrowheads and tomahawks and his chief industry making and them. the L A e ne multitude of w_rmcml arts were born. - arts turned men’'s minds, en- ergies and interests away from war toward peace. And this has been the consequence of practically every ad- vance of sclénce since that time. I think a survey will show conclusively times as many new, peaceful, construc- tive uses as destructive ones. “In my judgment war is now in process of being abolished chiefly by this relentless advance of sclence, its ) most powerful enemy.

That, in the last analysis, is mankind's greatset problem.” o Fake Stock Sales Grow Fewer. NEW YORK, December 30 (#).—The National Better Business Bureau says lf.hlt the public has learned so much about sound financial practice that ‘hx;h-mure omoters are ha [y 2rd time put over fake stocks. “Aside from being clearly a very severe criticism on his part of the policies of those eminent statesmen,” Burton said, “he has paved the way for Karolyl and his wife to present themselves to you or those in your de- partment whose duty it is to admit or exclude them.” Sees Attempt to Defy Laws. He added that “this attempt to defy the laws of the United States” could be prevented by refusing admittance to either the count or his wife. Quoting from the count’s book, “Pighting the World,” Burton observed that Karolyl not only had defended the murder of Count Tisza, former Aus- rime minister, wbo was assas- , but “writes, prints and pub- lished a defense of the ‘duty, necessity or propriety’ of assassination, even for the pul of arousing public opinion on political issues.” "goo\l can readily obtain,” he con- tinued, “a copy of this book and cer- tainly the very fact that Karolyl wrote 1t should be sufficient evidence that he therein voiced his own bellefs. Stimson’s Action “Unfortunate.” “You have no doubt received quan- tities of data from many sources since of Secretary Stimson's un- fortunate action, showing the activities on the part of Count Michael Karolyl and Countess Catherine Karolyi, his wife, in conn with the com- munistic movement in Hungary. “In addition to this you have access to all official records in the various de- partments which are complete upon the subject. This alone should be sufficient to exclude him and his wife as it is clearly in direct violation to vhe law to admit any one who advocates forci- ble overthrow of the Government.” 2-YEAR-OLD CHILD - IN PERIL FROM BURNS Son of Mr. and Mrs. Welch of Wal- dorf Is Believed Dying in Hospital.

BANDITS ELUDE KENTUCKY POSSE Belief Prevails Bowling Green Murderers Are Still in Vicinity. By the Associated Press. BOWLING GREEN, Ky, December 30. — A manhunt, participated tn by members of the National Guard, eiti- 2ens and all law officers in this vicinity, today apparently had revealed no trace of two of the three bandits who robbed the bank at Oakland, Ky, and killed J. Robert Kirby, president of the Far- mers’ Bank at Smiths Grove, Ky. Officers still expressed the opinion that the two bandits are in this vicinity and vigil had not been relaxed, Rail- road trains, busses and private auto- mobiles entering or leaving Bowling Green were being searched methodically and National Guardsmen still patrolled roads leading into the city. While the bandit hunt was in prog- ress here officials also were busy seeing that Elmer Grayson of Indianapolis, confessed member of the bandit trio who was captured, will be brought to trial. Grayson had been taken Nashville, Tenn.,, for safe keeping. Late yesterday local officials receiged information that Grayson was war€ed for an automobile theft in Tennessee. Fearing that the man might stand trial on that charge, holding up his trial here, Sheriff Ferguson, County Judge Rex A. Logan and Deputy Jailer Tom Shields went to Nashville by automobile and brought Grayson to Bowling Green. Later he was taken to Loulsville for safe keeping. Meanwhile, Miss Jean Harney of In- dianapolis, who said she was Grayson's sweetheart, had gone back to that city after falling in an attempt to talk to Grayson. Miss Harney, 22 years old and a pretty brunette, announced that she would stand by Grayson and that she would be back for his trial. Grayson is charged with murder and bank robbery. His case will be called at the regular term of the grand jury which begins January 6. Ballston Christian Church will give a fellowship dinner for the membership tomorrow evening at 6:45 o'clock to fea- ture the activities and work of the body during the year and the completion of the ‘new edifice.

A plea for & “sympathetic under- | standing of all Government—Federal, State and city’—was made by David Lawrence, editor of the United States Dally, in a radio talk last night over station WRC. Lawrence pointed out that matters will not be improved by crying “too much law-making.” This is too often a camouflage, he said, for those inter- ests which are afraid the weak may be protected against the strong. ‘The thing that must be avolded instead, he suggested, is “unintelligent lJaw-making.” Declaring that at best Government is human and must make errors, Lawrence urged that “instead of sitting back and calling it names,” the weakness of gov- ernment be studied so that its capacity for justice and right-dealing be built up. He said the judiciary was poorly paid and poorly equipped, and that State legislators were not properly com- pensated by the States. e money was wasted in unnecessary con- troversy and litigation, he pointed out that business itself should seek direct instead of roundabout ways to approach government. He urged that business men should co-operate not merely through trade associations, but directly in giving the Government facts relat- ing to the scope of pending legislation.
