POULTRY RAGKET DRIVE LAUNCHED Wallace Directs Operators in New York Area to Get Licenses. By the Assoctated Press. A Natjon-wide Federal drive against poultry racketeering was launched formally yesterday with an attack on illegal marketing practices in New York City as the Government's first objective. . Acting under authority of an amendment by the last Congress to the packers and stockyards act, Becretary Wallace designated the New York and Jersey City, N. J, poultry markets for Federal super- vision. The goal named was a better price to producers and a fairer cost to_consumers. Handlers of live poultry in seven New York and Jersey City markets were directed to obtain licenses from the Secretary of Agriculture by No- vember 25. While the Schechter poultry case resulting in invalidating N. R. A. and poultry licences under N. R. A. originated in New York, officials said there was no connection between that incident and the new action the licenses will be of different form, it was explained, and what the new law does is in effect to extend to poultry markets the same supervision which the Government has exercised for years over packing houses and stock- yards. There was said to be no ques- ton of codes for the industry in- volved. Other Probes Planned. A. W. Miller, .head of the Packers and Stockyards' Division of the Bu- reau of Animal Industry, said investi- gations of poultry handling are under ‘way in other cities. He indicated the Government will look closely into the marketing of chickens in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and San Francisco. If, after an investigation, the Agri- culture Department finds that unfair trade practices may exist in any city where the handling of poultry results in undue increased costs to the con- sumer, a hearing is called, when dealers and others interested may be heard. After a study of the evidence, if the Secretary finds that such prac- tices actually exist, then he may designate the city for Federal super- vision. Any person desiring to obtain a license to handle poultry may apply to the Secretary and the license will be issued without cost. But the law provides that the applicant must fur- nish information to show his fitness to engage in the business and to show that he is financially able to fulfill the obligations he would incur as a licensee. Hearings Held Here. An investigation of the New York market was begun soon after the law was passed August 14, 1935, and sub- sequent hearings were held in Wash- ington. “The Secretary of Agriculture,” the formal order for New York and Jersey City read, “has ascertained, through independent investigations, corre- spondence, public hearings and state- | ments made by well-informed per- sons that practices and devices resulte | ing in the producers sustaining sun- dry losses and receiving prices far below the reasonable value of their | live poultry in comparison with the prices of other commodities and in arbitrarily enhancing the cost to con- sumers exist in the following named cities: New York, N. Y., and Jersey City, N. J.” After listing the local markets, the order said New York and Jersey City | *are hereby designated as cities where the handling of live poultry required as an article of food for inhabitants of large centers of population is at- tendant with various unfair, decep- tive and fraudulent practices and de- vi BALTIMORE BRIDLES AT SONG CRITICISM ¥What if ‘Star Spangled Banner’ Is Militaristic?” Demands Matron—Melody Defended. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, October 21.—Resi- dents of the birthplace of “The Star Spangled Banner” bridled with indig- nation yesterday at a New Yorker's suggestion the national anthem is “too militaristic” and “really has no sig- nificance.” “Oh, nonsense!” was the reply of Mrs. Henry L. Zoller, jr., to the criti- cism of Dr. John L. Tildsley, assistant superintendent of schools in New York, leveled at the song Francis Scott Key wrote during the bombardment of Fort McHenry here. “It is a splendid anthem,” Mrs. Zol- ler asserted. “If it is necessary to fight, we should want the anthem to make us fight. I am all for national defense.” John Denues, director of music in public schools, defended the anthem from the musical standpoint. “We have a special right to that song here in Baltimore,” he asserted. “We have a special pride in it here and we know a good deal more about it than other people. “It is & beautiful melody. I know music, and it is a good melody. It is said to be difficult for the average voice, but it can be taught, and we succeed in teaching it here.” SPECIAL NOTICES. ¥ WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY debts contracted by any one other than myself, " J.

Greely, Arctic Hero (Continued Prom First Page.) | survey around the polar cap. The | Gibbs and Maj. Gen. Irving J. Carr, former chief signal officers; Maj. Gen. | Leon B. Kromer, chief of Calvary; | Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, U. S. A, retired, formerly with Gen. Greely in | the Signal Corps; Col. Charles DeF. { Chandler, Signal Corps, retired; Dr.; | Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the| | National Geographic Society, and R. | M. Kauffmann, close friend of Gen. Greely. On learning of the death of Gen. Greely, Gen. Malin Craig, chief of stafl | of the United States Army, said: “I am deeply distressed to learn of Gen. Greely's death. He was one of | the most distinguished officers of the | Army. His long and brilliant career was packed with outstanding achieve- | ments for civilization. He was a pio- | neer not only in polar exploration, for | which he is probably best known, but also in the field of communication. | Many of the early telegraph lines in | the United States were constructed | under his supervision and a third of a century later he established wireless stations in Alaska that were amorg | the first to be placed in successful op- | eration. His contributions to science can scarcely be exaggerated. In his later years he devoted considerable | time to literary work of great merit. In his death humanity has lost a great benefactor.” Rewarded by Congress. On his last birthday anniversary, March 27, Gen. Greely received from his Government the Congressional Medal—a belated reward for a life- time of distinguished public service, ‘mnked by bravery on the battlefield, | grim adventure and achievement in | | the Arctic, rescue work during the | 8an Prancisco earthquake and out- | standing services in the flelds of com- | munications and aviation. The kindly, philosophical non- | | ogenarian—descendant of & long line | | of sturdy New England sea coast | dwellers—was the last survivor, but | | one of the tragic Greely expedition of 1881-1884, an epic of achievement, | heroism and death in the then un- | explored wastes near the North Pole. | Greely's death leaves Gen. Brainard | the only living member of the original | band of 25 spirited young men whom Greely—then a lieutenant—took with him for circumpolar weather studies. Crushing of a relief ship in the ice left the band marconed on the ice with meager supplies, and hunger and cold claimed 18 of the men before a rescue ship reached them at Cape Sabine. Penetrated “Farthest North.” Greely ana his adventurous com- pany sailed in holiday mood from St. John’s, Newfoundland, on July 4, 1881, to represent the United States in a joint international meteorological party not only accomplished its mis- sion in this respect, but penetrated to the -then. “farthest North"—Iatitude | 83 degrees, 24 minutes, in Grinnell | Land. The expedition established itself in latitude 81 degrees 44 minutes for two years of weather observations. There was plenty of food and shelter during this period. At the end of the two- year research the party piled its pos- sessions into small boats and navi- gated them through dangerous Arctic waters to Cape Sabine, 200 miles to the south. At Cape Sabine they were to meet, by prearrangement, a relief ship, the Proteus. The men camped on the ice and waited. Weeks and then months passed, but the ship did not appear. The men dfd not know that the Pro- teus had been caught between icebergs and smashed so that she could not continue the journey. Provisions began to run low. Re- maining food supplies were rationed. Finally they were completely ex- hausted. Desperate, the men gnawed at seal thongs on their equipment, devoured insects, ate grasses and strove to catch fish to ward off the horrors of starvation. Men Drop Off, One by One, “I tried to keep the men in good spirits,” Gen. Greely said in & birth- day interview last March. “I re- cited incidents of American history concerning each of the States. I held birthday ‘celebrations’ for each of the men—giving the guest of honor a gift of an extra portion of what food ar makeshifts we had. But the men con- tinued to drop off, one by one.” When Capt. W. 8. Schley com- manding the rescue ship, finally sighted the gruesome camp on the shores of Cape Sabine on June 22, 1884, only Greely and six of his men were alive. All seemed more dead than alive, but careful nursing brought all but one of them back to health. On his return to the United States he received a blow which he never forgot. Instead of being promoted in recognition of his accomplishments on the expedition, he found himself re- duced several filles in rank. Like & good, soldier, however, he carried on and succeeded in winning high rank in the Army before retirement. Last March, by unanimous consent, who was referred to on the floor of the House by Chairman John J. McSwain of the Military Affairs Committee as | “a grand old hero.” | Accordingly, on his birthday that | month, Secretary of War Dern pinned | the coveted medal to the white-beard- | ed veteran's coat “in recognition of his life of splendid public service.” | Gen. Greely was the third man in | orders, he led Army history to receive the medal by special act of Congress, ignoring tra- ditional Army restrictions. The first to receive such an award was Col. John O. Skinner, Indian fighter, and the second was Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh. Official Citation, The official citation accompanying the award read: Adolphus W. Greely, major general, United States Army, retired—For his life of splendid pub- lic service, begun on March 27, 1844, | having enlisted as a private in the United States Army on July 26, 1861, and by successive promotions was com- missioned as major general February 10, 1906, and retired by operation of law on his 64th birthday.” The presentation took place in the small living room of Gen. Greely's home, in the presence of a small com- pany of officials, friends and relatives. A color guard formed a background for the ritual. A troop of the 3d Cav- alry, from Fort Myer, stood at atten- tion in the street outside, and the 3d | Cavalry Band played the “National Anthem” as the ceremony was con- cluded. Gen. Mitchell, who, after serving un- der Gen. Greely in the Signal Carps, became chief of the Army Air Serv- ice, read a review of Greely's career during the medal ceremony. Since it accurately summarizes Gen. Greely's public service, the review in part is reproduced here: “When the war between the States broke out in 1861, Greely, althcugh under age, enlisted when he was 17 near Leesburg, Va. When the Army of the Potomac was organized, the 19th Massachusetts, to which he be- longed, became a part of it, and he participated in the Peninsular Cam- paign and in the Seven Days Battles, where he distinguished himself and was wounded. At Antietam, he dis- covered a flank attack against his regi- ment and called attention to it, fear- lessly exposing himself to enemy fire. He thus saved not only his regiment but his whole brigade from a serious disaster. He was badly wounded and left on the fleld. A Confederate sol- dier attempted to capture him but he escaped and made his way under the trajectory of the fire of Rickett’s Bat- tery, up a ravine to the Union lines. As soon as he recovered from his wounds he rejoined his organization. Wounded 1n Battle, “At the battle of Fredericksburg a pontoon bridge being laid opposite the town was destroyed by Confederate fire and it was decided to force a crossing in individual bosts. Greely was in the first one. He was in com- mand of the patrol that went up the main street of Fredericksburg, the for- lorn hope that held cn until relieved by other troops. In this hattle, out of 300 men in his regiment, 108 were killed and wounded. Greely himself was wounded but kept witk his com- pany, B of the 19th Massachusetts, which had been first in the city and last to get out. For this he was pro- moted from corporal to sergeant. “Later on he became a captain and served during reconstruction days in New Orleans, where there was a ter- rible yellow fever epidemic. After the war he was assigned duty in the West and served against the Indians. In 1867 he was detailed to the Signal Corps and, on account of his technical knowledge, was given the task of building the first telegraph line through to the Pacific Coast, which was completed to San Diego, Calif. After this he built telegraph lines to Oregon through a trackless waste and a country infested by hostile Indians. “When the United States became a party to an international agreement for the establishment of circumpolar stations for meteorological observa- tions and discoveries, Gen. Greely was Congress made a special award of the Medal of Honor to Gen, Gireely— siven command of the United States } He first saw enemy fire at Balls Bluff, | No. 1—Maj. Gen. A, W.

He was the first to have recording instruments _constructed, and really established the electrical fleld communication in our Army down to regiments. At the beginning of the Spanish War, as he was charged with the collection and dissemination of military information, he made ar- rangements with foreigm cables, §o that he found where the Spanish . Admiral Cervera's fleet was 10 days | before the Navy had any knowledge of it. He reported to President Mc- Kinley that the Spanish fleet was in Santiago Harbor and advised him to attack Santiagn, destroy the garrison and fleet and thus bring the war to an end quickly. Against the advice of others, Presideni McKinley adopted Greely's plan, which led to a quick termination of the war with Spain. “Gen. Greely persuaded Prof. Lang- ley of the Sniithsonian Institution to build the first man-carrying airplane and obtained the appropriation from Congress for it. His letter asking for it, in the light of what has hap- pened since, was prophetic. “Gen. Greely's intuitive strategical sense showed him what an important place Alaska was to the United States, in its rciations and dealings with Asia, and in the first years of the twentieth century he pushed the completion of telegraph and cable lines through that whole territory, carrying the work to a successful conclusion against dificulties formerly thought insur- mountable. Organized Lirst Radio Parley. “In 1903, Gerl. Greely proposed and organized the first international radio conference, when many were thinking that radio telegraphy was a joke. “Greely was made a major general of the line of the Army and was sta- tioned in San ¥Francisco at the time of the earthquike. When the quake actually occurrd he was temporarily absent on duty, but quickly returned and, through his knowledge of the handling of civil populations, con- tributed in & 'marked degree to the relief of the people and the rehabili- tation of that great city. “His last service was in command of the last campaign we had against the Indians, the Ute campaign of 1907, So «bly was it handled that not one person was killéd and no property was destroyed.” For his explorations in the North, Gen.

In the library of the National Geo- graphic Society is a valued collection of Arctic material generously pre- sented to it by Gen. Greely. The col- lection includes a large proportion of his personal library of books dealing with Polar subjects, about 500 vol- umes; most of his own publications, 268 volumes of scrapbooks compiled by Gen. Greely and containing clip- | ings, articles, letters and other in- formation covering general Polar ex- ploration during his lieftime, and many books and documents dating back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Gen. Greely was a frequent con- tributor to the National Geographic Magazine from its earliest days and lectured on many occasions before the society’s members in Washington.

PACIFIC AIRMAIL BID IS RECENED Pan-American _Co. Asks'! Maximum Rates in Sub- mitting Only Proposal. By the Assoclated Press. The Pan-American Airways Co. was the only bidder today for the mail contract for airmail service from San Francisco to Canton, China. The company bid maximum rates allowed under the law for the route— $2 per mile for the specified load of 800 pounds and $1 per 1,000 miles for each additional pound of mail carried. Pan-American officials indicated privately they might be ready to start service by November 15. The 8,000-mile route will carry mail and passengers from San Fran- cisco to China by way of Honolulu and Manila. The company is completing its fourth survey flight to Guam. Al- though it has not flown over all parts of the proposed route, airline officials said they had already made survey flights over “the hardest part of the route.” ‘The Pan-American bid was handed to Postmaster General Farley a few seconds before a post office buzzer signaled 12 noon, the hour for open- ing the bids. Contract for the route will not be let until after the bid is examined by a committee composed of Secretary of State Hull, Secretary of War Dern, Attorney General Cummings, the Postmaster General, Secretary of the Navy Swanson and Secretary of Com- merce Roper. The new route, Farley said, is ex- pected to bring “a more expeditious * A3 each way and the contract provides for a continuous journey, with day or night flying. All flying equnment must be of American make and, “except in an emergency,” pilots, flying crew and other employes must be American citizens. Multi-motored seaplanes, capable of sustained flight on 50 per cent of their motor power at an altitude of 1,000 feet are required. The planes must have & minimum cruising speed of 125 miles an hour.

Home reference books could not supply the needed information. neither could his parents. A relative suggested that he | try the library of the War Department, | of which, until then, he had never | heard. | Hesitatingly he entered therein on the following Saturday morning and confronted a tall man with a greying beard and kindly eye. The latter placed himself at the visitor's service in ex- actly the same manner as one would greet a grown-up. The boy told ef his difficulty. “Sit right here,” said the man, and | in a short while he began to place | Book after book, each opened to the | proper page, to supply the sought-for information before the delighted lad. The boy got to work. Soon lunch time intervened and he asked the kindly man if he could come back later. “You certainly can,” was the reply. "I will possibly be out, but the books will be here waiting for you and, if vou have any difficulty, say that you sre the visitor for whom Col. Greely reserved this table.” The boy is now a man, an employe ©f The Star. He has since seen the famous polar explorer, who at that time was in charge of the War Depart- ment library, and whose skill, bravery and persistence have become by-words in America on many occasions and in many impressive surroundings.
