VENIZELOS BACKS Friends Call at Justice Holmes’ Residence REPULSED REBELS Insurgent Warships Bombed by Greek Planes as They Flee Athens. (Continued From First Page.) east of the extreme. southernmost point of Greece. | In this vicinity government planes had caught up with them a second time, dropping a rain of bombs with undetermined effect. Previous ar- tillery fire from four pursuing de- stroyers and aerial bombings had partially disabled the cruiser Averoff, one of the rebel craft. Following the offer of mediation made by Admiral Tipaldos, the rebels requested a respite. They wired that the Averoff, carrying 600 men, had been gravely damaged, but included no estimate of casualties at sea. Athens under its martial law was quiet. Strict censorship was imposed late today upon outgoing telepgraphic messages, and opposition newspapers were surpressed by the government. Plastiras Aides Blamed. ‘The government in an official state- ment blamed the sudden revolution- ary movement, apparently largely cen- tering in the military. upon supporters of Gen. Nicholas Plastiras, dictator for a day during a revolt in 1933. Later advices, however, indicated the government was placing intense pressure on its attempts to find out the exact connection, if any, of Veni- zelos with the revolutionaries. T trial of 18 persons charged with at- tacking and injuring Venizelos last Summer and gravely wounding his wife was temporarily postponed. . Former Prime Minister Papanastasio, labor party leader, was stopped while Jeaving for Saloniki and held at his home in Athens. Inquiries at Saloniki revealed that reports of reoel co- operation there were not substantiated. Bombarded Two Hours. The plot broke with startling sud- denness in the midst of carnival revelry at 6 p.m. yesterday in Athens. It was first discovered in the Salamis arsenal. The rebels were forced to abandon their position under a two- hour bombardment of cannon. Martial law was immediately invoked. Premier Tsaldaris issued a procla- mation to the people declaring: “The government has repressed the anti- patriotic rising and is completely the master of the situation. The Greek people may rest absolutely easy. It is our duty to render just homage to the dead and wounded in this struggle as well as to all armed forces of the country.” AWAITS POPULAR CALL.

President Roosevelt and Chief Jus- | tice Hughes were kept regularly ad- vised of developments, a special call being made to the White Heuse after the consultation of physicians. ‘The Chief Justice made a brief visit to the house yesterday before noon, but was not permitted to see his for- mer colleague. On leaving, Hughes commented to the press upon his The pessimistic tinge to the formal bulletin issued by Dr. Claytor was dis- quieting to friends who had begun to feel that the nonogenarian was grad- ually winning his fight against the inroads of the disease. Had Been in Good Spirits. This earlier feellng of optimism had | arisen largely because of reports which came from the sick room of jesting remarks made by the ill man to those who entered the room. At one time he had smilingly refeired to the “fuss” being made over him as “damn-foolery,” and again he had thumbed his nose light-heartedly at | a close friend who passed near his bed He also was said to have “kidded” the nurses who are in close attend- ance on him. Despite these evidences of a rugged constitution, the bronchial infection had been at work in its insidious way, undermining his strength. When he showed signs of extreme weasness late yesterday the physicians held their meeting and decided to issue | their first public bulletin. La Follette Visits Home. Among the callers at the homes yesterday were Associate Justice Wil- lam Hitz of the District Supreme Court and Senator Robert M. La Follette, Progressive. of Wisconsin. Neither went to the bed room.

Vandyke, Holly- wood director of “The Thin Man,” “Trader Horn,” and other movie suc- cesses, and at present a visitor to the National Capital, attributes his direc- | torial career to just plain luck and to the start he gained naturally as the son of a trouper mother. The “colonel,” who is actually a captain of the Marine Corps, is stop- ping at the Mayflower Hotel, on a “vacation.” The quotation marks are his own, as well as the colorful punc- tuation which followed the verbal statement. One gathers that he had rather film another “White Shadows of the South Seas” or “Eskimo” than face the flash bulbs of photographers, the microphones, the banquet boards, and bombardment of questions by curious reporters that such a vaca- tion has proved. In Washington the director is visit- ing Army and Navy friends of old| standing, and members of foreign diplomatic circles whom he has met abroad or at some time entertained in his California home. He will be here long enough to re-establish his con- tacts, then return to Hollywood There he is to direct an as yet un-| named sequel to “The Thin Man.” which will star the Powell-Loy combi- nation he first directed in “Manhat- tan Melodrama.” KIDNAPED DOCTOR FREED BY CONVICTS Three Fugitives Spurned His Car as Too Slow, Oklahoman Says. By the Assoclated Press CLINTON, Okla. March 2—Dr Fred Lewis Myers, who was kidnaped by three fugitive Granite Reformatory convicts, was released unharmed at Cottonwood in Major County early tonight. Dr. Myers. as soon as he was re- leased, called the sheriff's office here to inform officers that he was safe “They told me to ‘take that car and go to hell'” Dr. Myers told officers here. “‘We're going to get one that goes faster!' "™ With that the three youths got out of his car and told him to drive ahead The last he saw of them they were standing in the road, said the doctor. Amelia Earhart to Be Guest.

HESS TOURS SAAR FOR DER FUEHRER Countryside Rings With Cheers for Hitler’s Per- sonal Representative. & By the Associated Press, SAARBRUECKEN, Germany, March 2.—Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hit- ler's closest friend, rode about the | still celebrating Saar today to the accompaniment of ovations scarcely less enthusiastic than those Der Fuehrer received yesterday. All roads along his 120-mile eir- cuit were lined with country folk, jubilant like their city cousins over | the Saar’s return to Germany, who | were anxious to get glimpses of Hess. At all important points honor com- | mitees awaited the minister without portfolio, who is Hitler's personal rep- resentative in Nazi party matters. He replied to their addresses of wel- come. The holiday spirit that pervaded the Saar for yesterday's formal trans- fer of the territory to Germany lasted throughout today.

By the Associated Press. MAZUBUKA, Northern Rhodesia, Africa, Maich 2—Intensive search of Northern Rhodesia’s bush country failed today to uncover any trace of Lady Young, wife of the governor general, and her physician, Dr. J. Kerby, whose airplane was forced down Thursday. As anxiety for their safety increases, Sir Hubert Young, the governor gen- eral, summoned leaders of all search- ing parties to confer. Five royai air force planes are ex- pected here from Praetoria tomorrow to join four other planes already sweeping the lion-infested jungles. Hundreds of native police, 200 rail- way men from Southern Rhodesia, natives from Nyasaland and motor parties made ready to resume the hunt at daybreak. Lady Young, the former Margaret Rose Reynolds, and the government physician, who was the Duke of Kent's medical officer when he toured Nor- thern Rhodesla and Central Africa, took off from Livingstone for Lusaka, 200 miles away, Thursday. Although she was convalescing from influenza, the governor’s wife, an ex- peienced pilot, was at the controls. ANDREWS DELAYSHOP LOS ANGELES, March 2 (#).—Be- cause of heavy rain today, Leland S.
