PILOTS AWAIT TRIP T0 STRATOSPHERE Ground Work for Army Air Corps Venture Gets Under Way. By the Associated Press. RAPID CITY. S. Dak., April 6.— Groundwork for the 1935 National Geographic-Army Air Corps strato- sphere expedition got under way in earnest today with two of the three- man flight teams inspecting the Rlack Hills bowl where the giant bal- Joon will be moored for the venture. Capt. Orvil A. Anderson, copilot of last Summer's ascension and pilot this year, arrived from Amarillo, Tex., Friday and joined Capt. Randolph P. Williams, ground officer who has been surveying the site. Concrete will be poured early next week in the 4-foot holes dug in circles at the bowl to provide an- chorage during inflation of the bag. Helium Ready for Shipping. Both officers will remain until mid- week, supervising changes in equip- ment and directing preliminary | arrangements for the stratosphere czmp to be set up in early May. Capt. Anderson has been directing the preparation of helium at Amarillo. Four carloads are ready for shipment. Plans for'the flight generally dupli- cate those made for the expedition which last vear nearly ended in trag- edy when the bag ripped and forced cescent over Nebraska. Gondola to Be Larger. A larger gondola will be used, and many of the instruments and ballast bags will be outside, but weight and content will be approximately the same. | One instrument has been added to | test the conductivity of the upper air. | to determine whether air at higher altitudes conducts electricity as read- guild.

FALL RIVER, Mass, April 6—A difficult and comparatively rare opera- tion was performed today on Jimmy Neilson, 13-year-cld San Jose, Calif., victim of a ruptured diaphragm. All that could be learned of the cheerful little lad's condition tonight was that the operation was “satisfactorily com- pleted.” Several of his organs were trans- ferred from his left chest cavity to their proper positions and a tear in his diaphragm—the muscular partition separating the chest from the stomach cavity—was closed. In some respects the operation was more serious than that performed at the same hospital about a month ago on Alyce Jane McHenry, 10, of Omaha, Nebr.

STANDARD UPHOLSTERY €0 Revenues of railways of Germany - Here's to the Blue of it— Beauteous view of it, By the Associated Press GALLUP, New Mex. April 6.— Thirty-one men and one woman were charged with murder today in con- nection with the rioting that brought death to Sheriff M. R. Carmichael and an unemployed demonstrator here. The sheriff and a miner were killed in a fierce street battle, which de- veloped Thursday when the officer | sought to prevent a crowd from liberating three men held for tres- rassing in a house from which one of them had been evicted. | The 31, out of a group of more than 100 men and women arrested after the rioting. were designated as partic- jpants in the disturbance by officers who witnessed the affair. Fifteen already have been arraigned on first- degree murder charges. All will be taken to prison at Santa Fe for safe- keeping as soon as arraignment of the remaining 17 is completed. The charges were filed by C. R. Meclntosh, assistant district attorney, after a coroner's jury had declared that Carmichael's death was “cold- blooded murder.” VIOLATION CHARGED TO AMERICAN PILOTS Lima Communique Claims Mys- tery Planes Failed to Observe Permits. By the Associated Press. i LIMA. Peru., April 6.—An official | communique said today the reason a flight to Arica by four “North Amer- ican mystery planes” was discon- tinued here was a “violation” of per- mits granted the pilots to leave the United States. The communique said the American Embassy at Lima, following instruc- tions from the State Department in ‘Washington, advised the foreign #f- fice here the Department of Commerce had canceled the pilots’ licenses as well as their plane permits.

Smoc;tisieesuéhaos Without Aid of God on Depression | Wonders What Will Be| Qutcome of “Horrible Condition.” By the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, April 6—A prediction that “chaos will be the end” of the present depression “with- out the assistance of God"” was voiced | by former Senator Reed Smoot, a member of the Council of Twelve Apostles of the Latter Day Saints Church, at its 105th annual conference today. Apostle Smoot, for 30 years a mem- ber of the United States Senate and the dean of that body when he was retired in 1932, asserted he was not finding fault with the present national edministration, but added he “could not see where it will end” with the United States “going farther and farther in debt.” | “I hope and trust that we Latter Day Saints will live up to the instruc- | tions of all our Presidents to live with- in our means and keep out of debt,” he said. “It is hard to do so if we live on the high plane of modern days, but to do so will bring peace of mind and | happiness in the home.” He quoted from a Government re- | port showing 23,000,000 persons on relief, and commented: “I wonder what will be the outcome vain for such a A | toast. He wrote — ;"3 Thaie his own. Im- 2 mediately it took the country. It was | printed in school books and recited | in every corner of the land, but Daly neglected to copyright it. The author made no money from it, but thousands of copies were sold by one group of publishers to soldiers re- turning from France. Daly bought one himself when he stepped off a transport in New York. For years the copyright was owned by a woman who included the poem in an anthology published several years after the war. Daly had to get her Heavenly hue of it, Star-spangled dew of it, Constant and true; Diadems gleam for it, States stand supreme for it. Liberty’s beam for it Brigthens the Blue.

ERIURY CHARGED TO BRUNO WITNESS Heier to Be Tried at Flemington, N. J., Week of April 26 for Story About Fisch. By the Associated Press. FLEMINGTON, N. J. April 86— Benjamin Heier, a defense witness for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, will be | tried foy perjury during the week of April 26 in the same court room where two months ago he swore he saw the late Isador Fisch flee the Bronx ceme- tery where the $50,000 Lindberg ran- som was paid. Heier pleaded not guilty to the perjury indictment today when he was arraigned. He posted bail of $2,000 and was released. A possibility he would be defended by the New Jersey attorneys on the Hauptmann defense staff was virtually eliminated when a New York lawyer, Irving A. Ormeland, appeared for him. Heier said he saw Fisch leave St. Raymond’s Cemetery about the time the ransom was handed over. Heier said he was parked by the cemetery wali on the night in question. The State produced a rebuttal wit- ness who said he and Heier had been involved in an auto accident that night in mid-town Manhattan, 8 miles testified he cemetery. BEES PAY RENT GETTYSBURG. Pa..
