ELLSWORTH EAGER| TOEXPLORE AGAIN Back in New York, He Plans to Return Next Fall to Antarctic. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 1 (NANA).— Lincoln Ellsworth, back in New York only two days, after months in the Antarctic, is eager to be off exploring again. Both the Arctic and Antarctic appeal to him. Mr. Ellsworih revealed he has ten- tative plans prepared for a return to the Antarctic next Fall, with the hope that early in November or possibly in late October he can make his cher- ished flight across the Antarctic con- tinent, from the Weddell to the Ross Sea. Bad weather balked the pro- jected flight this year. The other expedition Mr. Ellsworth has in mind—and for which he says he has no definite plans—is an ex- ploration flight from a point near the mouth of the McKenzie, on Canada’s Arctic shore, across the North Pole to the mouth of the Lena River in Siberia. Balchen Is Uncertainty. ‘Whether his pilot on his Antarctic expedition, Bernt Balchen, who flew Admiral Byrd to the South Pole, is to be available for more polar expe- ditions, Mr. Ellsworth does not know. Balchen arrived in New York Thurs- day aboard the Western World of the Munsen Line, with Dr. Francis Dana Coman, surgeon of the expedition, and Walter C. J. Lanz, radio operator. The famous Norwegian flyer, wind- burned and tanned, had little to say concerning the expedition beyond stating that bad weather hindered the fiyers and prevented them from attaining their objectives. After a test flight, a connecting rod in their engine gave way. Mr. Ellsworth wirelessed the New ‘York Times and a new part was flown down by Pan-American Airways to Santiago, Chile. Thence a Chilean army plane flew the rod to Magel- lanes, close to the tip of South Ameri- ca, where the sturdy Wyatt Earp, the expedition’s supply ship, picked it up. The Wyatt Earp traveled 900 miles north from Snowhill Island for that bit of steel and 900 miles back to the crippled airplane. Silent on Plans. As to his immediate plans, Mr. Ellsworth would say little. He has not yet finished going over the mail and gifts that arrived in his absence, and letters and boxes are piled high in his quarters at the Metropolitan Club. Among them he has found one item he prizes, an old polished shot- gun formerly owned and used by the famous frontier marshal, Wyatt Earp, for whom he named his supply ship. “Mrs. Earp sent me that from her home in Oakland,” he said. “I saw her and talked with her concerning her husband before I sailed last year. 1 think Earp was one of the most remarkable men in our history. I have admired him ever since I was & boy.” Other boxes contain a number of fossils gathered on the small vol- canic islands bordering the Antarctic. These will be turned over to the American Museum of Natural History for study and as exhibits. Within a month Mr. Ellsworth and his wife will go to Europe, probably to Switzerland, and plans for further expeditions will wait until after their vacation. If the explorer decides to return to the Antarctic he plans to fly direct to South America on the Graf Zeppelin during the Summer, refit his ship at Montevideo and set sail from there. Balchen plans to go to Los Angeles within a few days. He will then re- turn to New York and sail for Nor- way, where his wife and son have been living. He has been engaged by a Norwegian air transport company to aid in the start of a new airline and this will take some time. Then with his family he plans to return to the United States.

This month’s collections amounted to $723,- 531.61, as against a total of $394,- 672.95 for last February. The increase, Cohn said, is partly due to heavy importations of corn from Argentina, made necessary by last Summer’s drought. SPECIAL NOTICES.

At left: DEMOCRATS MAP STRATEGY TO END RELIEF DEADLOCK (Continued From First Page.) of chaos and econamic disorder such as was experienced in March, 1933.” Senator McKellar, Democrat, of ‘Tennessee, had contended the McCar- ran amendment would “have a tend- ency to cause hundreds of thousands of persons employed in private indus- try to seek to leave private employ- ment and that is not good for the | country; it is not good for labor.” Most of the leaders were silent in the face of general reports that the McCarran amendment would be re- drafted in attempts to reach a com- promise. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York reported last night, how- ever, that he believed a break in the deadlock was near. The Senate was in recess today so it will be unable to take any action until Monday. Meanwhile, Secretary Ickes’ Public Works Administration was reported running low of funds to finance new projects beyond those for which con- tracts already have been signed. A total of $175,000,000 has been trans- ferred from Ickes’ department to the Relief Administration so the Govern- ment can carry on its present work- relief program while the $4,880,000,000 bill is tied up. Relief Administrator Hopkins yes- terday asked for $80,000,000 of im- pounded P. W. A. funds for the first three weeks in March. The P. W. A. has $143,000,000 available. Hopkins emphasized these funds were merely advances, with the $880,000,000 in the relief bill as collateral for repayment. Secretary Ickes announced shortly afterward that Mr. Roosevelt had approved the transfer. Then he re- newed his prediction that the $4.- 880,000,000 bill would be passed with- out the prevailing wage amendment. “Living Wage” Advocated. “The general economic situation in the country calls for a bill of that na- ture,” said Ickes at a press conference. “I have a profound faith that Con- gress, realizing the situation, will pass the kind of bill the country ought to have.” Earlier, a recommendation from the American Farm Bureau Federation favoring work relief “at any livable wage” was submitted to the White House, where some interpreted it as backing President Roosevelt'’s stand against the McCarran amendment. Launching a new effort yesterday to get the Senate to whittle down the total, Senators Hastings, Republican, of Delaware and Steiwer, Republican, of Oregon, who voted for the McCar- 'S | ran amendment, proposed the total be reduced to $3,000,000,000 by stagger- ing employment. “If the President will operate under the McCarran amendment and stagger the employment so that it will average only $50 a month,” Hastings said, “it will only take an appropriation of $3,~ 000,000,000 to accomplish his purpose. “In other words, 70 per cent of $3,000,000,000 gives to labor the $2,100,000,000 which the President would give it under his program. Therefore, instead of it being neces- sary to increase the appropriation by $2,340,000,000 you can reduce it a billion and accomplish what the President wants to accomplish.” Hastings based his argument on a statement made by an administration representative to the Appropriations Committee that $2,100,000,000 was to - | be spent for labor and $1,900,000,000 for materials.

Immediately, however, Speaker Byrns blocked the proposal, -saying “it’s thumbs down as far a: I am concerned.” _— DAILY RECORD FAVORED Legislation to require the printing of a daily record of Executive and administrative orders and regulations, - | something after the style of the Con- gressional Record, was approved yes- mlelYM by the House Judiciary Com ‘The measure, drafted by representa- tives of various departments, resulted from agitation following the confusion over the existence of an Executive order involved in the Supreme Court ofl decision.

This Changing World MIGHTY British armada, con- sisting of all available units of the British fleet, will be concentrated this Summer at Spithead to be reviewed by King George, Empire. Twenty-one years ago a similar im- posing concentration of the British fleet was gathered on the same spot. The same King reviewed the fleet for two days. It constituted then the greatest assemblage of naval power ever witnessed in the history of the world. * ® ok x ‘The vast procession took six hours to pass the royal yacht at 15 knots, bands were playing on the ships dressed with bunting and seamen and marines were lining the rails. One after another the ships melted out of sight beyond the Nab. They were going on a longer voyage than any | of the participants imagined. * ¥ kX In the present distressed situation of the world there is little wonder that many who will witness the repe- tition of this imposing assemblage should think that after the festivities of this July the'British fleet may again go beyond the Nab with sealed orders. It is equally significant that simul- taneously with the parade of the British fleet the French Army will hold the most spectacular maneuvers since the end of the World: War. No less than 350,000 men—80 regiments and the necessary classes of reserve men—will be gathered to show their government and their neighbors the might of the French land force. The necessary detail of aviation will ac- company them. * ok ok X Italy is already mobilized. The French can be ready in a few days. The British Navy is not assembled in one spot yet, but can be gathered within a few days. So can the Amer- ican Navy, which will hold important war games in the Pacific this May. ‘The Japanese Navy and Army has been kept in readiness for action for the last three years. The armies of the Danubian states are quickly com- pleting their preparedness, purchasing airplanes and tanks with hard cash. The Soviets announce proudly that the Red army has been increased to 900,000 men fully equipped and ready for action. Now comes the news from Germany that the Reich possesses a military aviation equal in size with that of the United States. Furthermore the Ger- man factories are fully equipped and working overtime to increase many’s military preparedness. * k% % In the hope of averting a disaster, Sir John Simon and his chief lieu- tenant, Mr. Anthony Eden, are taking a trip to Berlin and possibly to Mos- cow—their last desperate effort to bring about an understanding between Europe’s rival nations. In this world which changes so rap- idly, Hitler, the much despised Hitler, occupies today the center of the stage. * k k% ‘Things are shaping out for him ex- actly as he—or to be strictly correct— the Reichswehr—expected. After many snubs, especially from England, Hitler sees the proud foreign secretary of the British empire coming to Berlin to talk business. Everybody now admits frankly the treaty of Versailles is as dead as a door nail. Sir John Simon wants to find out what Germany’s price is for a treaty of non-aggression in the air. This is only natural after Hitler has casually hinted to the British Am- bassador in Berlin that in case of trouble, Germany has a sufficient air force to make every port in Great Britain unsafe for the British ships. And London has taken the hint quite nicely. * % % % Hitler is willing to guarantee the safety of Western Europe—he is will- ing to sign any kind of a pact of non: in the air, by land and 2 who celebrates his silver | anniversary as ruler of the British| King George, Celebrating Silver Anniversary as Ruler of Empire, to Review Fleet This Summer.

But. says der Fuehrer, | “if you French and British so willingly | recognize Italy's right to a place in the sun, why. should you not grant| the same right to Germany, which is confronted with a problem of ex- | pansion similar to that of Italy? You | are giving Ethiopia to Italy—j she can take it. What about letting Austria Join’ the Reich? What about “freeing” the Ukraine under a Ger- man-Polish tutelage? I shall sign anything you want to guarantee peace in Western Europe, but let me play in Eastern Europe, the game I want to play.” * ok x * Sir John Simon is going to put up & fight against this Germanic theory, but it is unlikely that his power of resistance will last long. Great Britain | nas no use for Eastern Europe. She is concerned with the safety of the British boundaries which end on the Rhine. “She will accept der Fuehrer's terms,” say those who are well ac- quainted with what is going on behind the scenes in Europe. * k x x Gen. George Simonds, the new deputy chief of staff of the American Army, is a great favorite of the news- paper men. He has a real liking for them, too. During the war, when he was chief of staff of an army corps in France, he was most helpful to the American war correspondents, whom he always welcomed at his headquarters. One day, however, he had a hard time. Troops were pouring in and there was no transportation to take them to the front. In the mdist of all this, two newspaper men arrived and called on him. “Mighty glad to see you, gentlemen, and you are most welcome,” said the affable general, “but how I wish to goodness you were & pair of mules.” N. R. A. PRICE FIXING FOUGHT BY GROUP Michigan Man Announces Forma- tion of Organization to Rep- resent Little Men. By the Associated Press. Formation of a national committee to eliminate price fixing and produc- tion control from N. R. A. legislation has been announced by Robert W. Irwin, president of the Grand Rapids, Mich., company of that name. Irwin and about 40 other business men who have been meeting here are working out a platform and an organ- ization to carry these ideas before Congress. He said the group was formed be- cause neither the National Association of Manufacturers nor the Chamber of Commerce of the United States was Irwin function only while N. R. A. legislation is under consideration, and there is no present intention of organizing a new permanent business association. Irwin said the organization was de- cided upon after he had received some 300 favorable replies out of 1,000 cir- cular letters he sent to various busi- ness men on his own initiative.

HOLMES, SMILING, FIGHTS PNEUMONIA ATTACK AT HOME (Continued From First Page) Rear Admiral Sidney A. Staunton, U. S. N, retired; Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, widow of the war-time President; Alger Hiss, former secretary to Jus- tice Holmes, and Francis Biddle, chairman of the Labor Relations Board. Another friend who was permitted to see the sick man was James G. Palfrey of Boston, Holmes' business representative in the Massachusetts city. It was Biddle who told reporters congregated outside the house about the joking gesture which Holmes made to Prof. Frankfurter. Biddle said he had been told that the former justice had spent a “very fine night” and that he seemed improved today. Biddle said physicians ceased giving the patient heart stimulants yesterday and comgnented that it was “almost miraculous” that a man of Holmes’ age should have strength enough to dispense with heart stimulants. Mark Howe, a former secretary to the justice, told newspaper men that Holmes' condition today was “about the same.” He promised to keep the press advised of any noticeable change. Howe announced that Dr. Lewis C. | Ecker and Dr. Longcope of the Johns Hopkins Medical School faculty, Bal- timore, had been called into consul- tation. Dr. Longcope visited the pa- tient yesterday and Dr. Ecker saw him today. ‘The type of pneumonia from which Holmes is suffering was described as having no crisis. A day and a night nurse are in constant attendance at the bedside. It was learned also from Howe that President Roosevelt had been keeping in touch with the jurist's condition by telephone. Many telegrams and letters of sympathy have been re- ceived. Inside the house, besides the physi- cians and nurses and personal aides, were Holmes’ closest living relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Holmes of Bos- ton. Edward Holmes is a nephew. He and his wife came here from Bos- ton yesterday and are staying in a room close to the sick room. Justices Solicitous. Prof. Frankfurter and Palfrey were said to have spent considerable time in Holmes’ room today—an indication that his condition has improved since the emergency developments of yes- terday, when oxygen was administered. In addition to visitors recognized by newspaper men, there were several who declined to identify themselves to the press, except as “personal friends.” The telephone, with muffled bell, brought an almost endless succession of calls from justices of the Supreme Court and other friends and admirers. Justice McReynolds was among callers yesterday afternoon. Just a week from today Holmes will be 94 years old. He has looked forward to celebrating the anniversary in his customarily quiet way—at home. It has been three years since he re- tired from the supreme bench, where his profound learning and keen wit enlivened the dignified proceedings of the Nation's highest law tribunal for many years. Since his retirement he has kept quite close to his home, taking an oc- casional automobile ride to the sub- urbs. Until a few years ago he fre- quently made motor visits to scenes of Civil War battles, in which he engaged as a captain of volunteer Infantry. He received three wounds while fighting with the Union forces. WHERE TO DINE. Crisp Hot Waffles, Beverage, De: LOTOS LANTERN 733 17th St. NW. OOKING FOR Good Place to Eat! 2 An Almuwiuu You'll Enjoy.

FREE PARKING ICOURT DECISIONS SHOW OF NEW ART HELD HARMFUL ISneII Declares Rulings Have Increased Lack of Con- fidence. By the Associated Press. Bertrand H. Snell, House minority leader, said today the recent adverse decisions in the courts on New Deal legislation would “increase the Na- tion's lack of confidence m the ad- ministration.” In commenting to reporters on po- litical and legislative developments, Snell assailed what he termed “or- ganized propaganda” spread by i Roosevelt leaders to get the country behind the President on the $4,880,- 000,000 work-relief bill dispute. He criticized the emergency legislation as “experimental and hasty,” end said the administration was being ‘“over- ballyhooed.” The New Yorker, mentioned as & possible Republican presidential can- didate, hit the A. A. A's crop pro- duction policies with the statement that “we are importing wheat and other foodstuffs that ought to have been produced here.” “Man’s laws can in no way be sub- verted to God's laws,” he said. “They may be set aside temporarily, but in the long run they will come into their own.” Snell said that if President Roose- velt had proposed @ ‘“reasonable” public works relief bill, he would have encountered no trouble in Congress. “But,” he added, “the administra- tion has either been unfair in giving relief figures to Congress or it doesn’'t know what it is doing. First we are told that relief money would last only until February 10. Then $50,- 000,000 more was found and when that ran low, more millions were dug up. Onme of these two things is true.” Declaring Roosevelt leaders accused utility companies of inspiring propa- ganda against the anti-holding com- pany bill, Snell added that the lead- ers resorted to the same kind of “or- ganized propaganda” themselves in be- half of the work-relief measure. GENE DENNIS NAMED IN DIVORCE FIGHT Woman Psychic Denies Engage- ment to Seattle Man Ac- cused by Wife. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, March 1.—Mrs. Mary E. von Herberg stayed the issuance of a final divorce decree yesterday by filing a petition which charged that her hus- band, John G. von Herberg, Seattle theatrical magnate, “was reported in the press to have wired an engagement ring to one Gene Dennis at a repre- sented cost of $6,000.” Gene Dennis, theatrical psychic, now in London, was quoted as denying betrothal to Von Herberg, character- izing the reported engagement as “a misguided publicity stunt.” Mrs. von Herberg, who seeks a full accounting of her husband’s wealth be- fore the decree is made final, brought the psychic's name into the case. Affidavits have been filed in court charging Von Herberg spent $1,500 at one time for wearing apparel for the girl. Von Herberg answered that, as , the psychic’s manager, he had spent some money on the young woman, but that it had been repaid. Unopened Letters To Senator Davis Retrieved by Aide By the Associated Press. Cynics who believe letters to mem- bers of Congress are just so much wasted effort may find this story en- lightening. Deluged for more than a week by an average of 3,000 letters daily, Frank K. Boal, Secretary to Senator Davis, Republican, of Pennsylvania, finally had no place to put the un- opened mail He was forced to utilize a waste basket, Next day, the waste basket was empty—the unopened letters had been dumped out by the cleaners. Some persons might have breathed a sigh of rellef and tackled the next pile. Boal, however, appealed to the building custodian and a crew of laborers were dispatched to the Wash- ington trash yard where most of the missing letters were retrieved.
