THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ‘D. C., SATURDAY, N EMBER 16, 1935, BORAH OHIO ENTRY HIT BY LEADERS Say Plans Call for Unin- structed Delegation Next Year. By the Associated Press. XENIA, Ohio, November 16— Speculation on the possibility of Sen- ator Borah of Idaho filing in Ohio for the Republican nomination for President prompted a G. O. P. spokes- man to declare today “that would be contrary to the plans of most lead- ers here.” | Representative Leroy T. Marshall recalled the agreement made by 51 prominent Ohio Republicans October 4 to send an uninstructed delegation | to the national convention next year. “We have refrained from discuss- ing candidates, of course,” Marshall | said, “but if outside candidates, in- cluding Borah, came into Ohio and attempted to file names of candidates for delegates, it would be contrary both to the wishes and the plans of | most of the leaders.” Young Republicans Vote. Yet it was recalled that young| Ohio Republicans recently divided al- most evenly in a poll on favorite presidential possibilities between Sen- ator Borah and Gov. Landon of Kan- sas, giving Borah 23 first choice votes and Landon 20. But Marshall reiterated emphati- cally, “Ohio is hoping for unattached delegates.” A resolution adopted by the 51 leaders said that because of the pres- ent lack of crystallization of senti- ment as to Republican presidential possibilities, it will probably be advis- | able that the Ohio delegation to the convention be a favorite son delega- tion. | The State Central Committee still has to act on the resolution, but Chairman Ed D. Schorr of Columbus bas predicted ratification. Favorite Son Movement. ‘The leaders made no effort to select & favorite son to whom the delegation | would be pledged to conform to Ohio laws. They await recommendations Irom the State Central Committee. Should he decide to file in Ohio, Borah would have to file candldates for delegates in each congressional | district early in March, 1936—60 days | before the primaries in May. Marshall said he believed other | Ohio Republican leaders would wel- come Borah on a speaking tour. | “A speaking tour would not be con- | trary to plans,” he said, “but can- | didacy in Ohio most certainly would.

Hardships and scientific achieve- | ments of the second Byrd Antarctic | expedition were described by Rear Admiral Richard E. Ryrd last night, addressing the National Geographic Society in Constitution Hall. Twenty thousand square miles were | added to the world map by the expe- dition, the explorer said, and proof was gathered to indicate Antarctica s one vast area of land, rather than two. as was formerly believed. Although four years intervened be- tween the two trips to the Antarctic as he attempted to dodge photograp! expedition, which was completed a vear ago, his party found everything much as it left it four years earlier, except that drifted snow had covered the entire settlement.

Hicks also is making a further PK-‘ amination of the girl's watch, which! was found trampled in the dirt near | the body. He expects to confer with Lieut. Itzel tonight and submit his tentative reports. It is his intention then to conduct a microscopic examination of the cord found around the girl's neck and | compare it with a specimen now in police custody to determine whether they are similar. Hicks is especially | anxious to find out whether the cord | with which the girl was strangled| was cut or broken from the ball by her slayer. On Ridge at Least 48 Hours. Hicks announced yesterday that his examination of the girl's clothing and shoes reveals conclusive proof that the body lay in a clump of pines on Saddleback Ridge about a quarter of a mile from her home, at least 48 hours before it was discovered. There is every indication the girl was killed on the spot, probably within a few min- utes after she left home. Lieut. Itzel said today he had ordered a check of taxicab companies | in an effort to learn if any one drove | snow. When his men pulled a switch, electric lights faintly appeared in tunnels and huts. “Antarctica,” the explorer declared, “js the home of the blizzard and an Trinity Lutheran Class to Begin Work on Program.

Britain’s Demands to Insure Italy Curb. By the Associated Press BERLIN, November 1€ —The Ger- man Government, informed by Grest | Britain that German goods exported to England after November 18 must be accompanied by certificates of origin, protested today that this re- quirement contravenes the Anglo- German trade agreement The date fixed by Great Britain is that upon which economic and finan- cial sanctions, as instituted by the League of Nations, go into effect against Italy. Great Britain is mak- ing certain that imports into that country do not originate ir. Italy and enter England by way of non-League countries. The official German communique | announcing the protest declared: “In the opinion of German official quarters, the demand for certificates of origin for German goods is, in this case, not in harmony with certain provisions of the German-British trade agreement.” Reexport Policy Defined. Arother point of irritation was con- to the Loring residence on the night | sidered by observers to be the report | of November 4 in a cab.

Tells of Lone Vigil. Admiral Byrd told his audience of a personal adventure in the Ant- arctic, a lone vigil 123 miles from Little America, which nearly cost his life. Living in a snow-buried hut and making meteorological observa- tions, he was cut off from the rest of his party by dangerous crevasses over the 123 intervening miles of ice and snow. Repeated attempts by the explorers to reach their marooned leader failed. When the admiral’s radio signals became weak, however, a last desperate effort was made and succeeded, but Byrd was found in such a weakened condition that it was two months before he could be taken to the expedition’s base. Motion pictures with which Admiral Byrd illustrated his remarks showed the difficulty of navigation of the ex- pedition’s boats, the blinding snow- storms and other perils which had to be overcome. Yet, as on the first Antarctic expedition, he returned with- Admiral Byrd's lecture was the be- ginning of the forty-ninth series by the Geographic Society. Dr. Gilbert Gros- venor, president, reported last night that since the last lecture season, the society had increased by more than 100,000 members, and the present membership is again greater than 1,000,000. - ROOSEVELT REPLIES TO PROTEST OF K. C. White House Declines to Make Answer Public, but Order May. The protest of the Knights of Co- lumbus that President Roosevelt has been silent on the Mexican religious issue has been answered by the Pres- ident. The reply was sent several days ago to Martin H. Carmody, grand knight, at New Haven, Conn., and while the White House has not made it public, it was understood no objection would be made to Carmody so doing. The Supreme Board of the order had said President Roosevelt had ex- pressed the intention of discussing the Mexican situation in his “first public address,” but had not done so. e Texas Prison Manager Dies. HUNTSVILLE, Tex., November 16 (#)—Dave Nelson, manager of the ‘Texas prison system, died early togey of pneumonia. § He had no new information to offer, Itzel said. Took Number of Auto. A strange combination of circum- stances brought Peddinghaus into the case. Early this week a woman peddler | called on Mrs. M. R. Burroughs, 1200 block of Thirty-third street, and let slip that she knew a lot about the Loring case. The peddler then left and some one at the Burroughs resi- dence took the number of an auto- mobile in which she drove away and communicated it to police. b The license number was that of Peddinghaus’ car. The attendant ex- plained he did not know the peddler, but had picked her up a few minutes before she called at the Burroughs home when she asked for a lift. Tear, Lo Jacono and Corinna's father, George A. Loring, an employe of the Maryland Highway Department, returned to the Upper Marlboro court house yesterday afternoon. Detective Itzel talked for some time to Tear and Mr. Loring, checking up on informa- tion supplied from other sources. Tear said his main reason in com- ing to the court house was to learn if the investigation was “getting any- where.” He said he himself had run down a number of false leads, includ- ing several “tips” given him by cranks and amateur sleuths. Lieut. Itzel said he was going to ‘Baltimore this afternoon to talk to Dr. Woods of Johns Hopkins, a bal- listics expert who worked with him on the Seat Pleasant bomb murders. Itzel is credited with “breaking” that case. Among various clues which have been picked up by searchers scouring Saddleback Ridge since the murder was a woman's yellow kid glove for the left hand. The glove was given to Lieut. Itzel last night. He said he attached no importance to the clue, since it was found after hundreds had trampled through the thickets where the body was found. Lieut. Itzel today was going over a stenographic transcript of state- ments taken from witnesses thus far in the investigation, in the hope of finding some new lead to work on. VAN ALLEN WILL FILED Uncle of Loring Murder Victim Leaves Estate to Widow. The will of Jacob H. Van Allen, uncle of Corinna Loring, who died of a heart attack after learning of the murder of his niece, was filed in Dis- trict Supreme Court today. All his property was left to his widow, Mrs. Ruth Van Allen, who was named executrix. The value of the estate was not disclosed. The docu- ment was executed January 15, 1929. Attorney James K. Crooks represented Mrs. Van Allen in filing the will. Dr. MacDowell to Speak. Dr. E. C.

Der Fuehrer’s assurances were said to apply to Germans and foreigners alike in his reported intention to pre- vent all persons from gathering goods here for movement to Italy. Embargo Effective Tonight. Berlin diplomats regarded such ac- tion as implementing greatly the Ger- man embpargo on Reich exports, which became effec*ive at midnight. The Government had announced its ban on exportation of certain impor- tant foodstuffs and raw materials on the grounds of home necessity, with- out referring to the sanctions voted against Italy by the League of Na- tions. “The export ban is concerned solely with German internal and economic necessities,” the official announce- ment November 12 said. Germany normally imports, rather than exports most industrial raw ma- terials with the exception of iron, the announcement said, and “therefore it injures our economy when, suddenly, these products begin to be exported.” The list of forbidden exports did not include coal and copper. Coal has been the largest German export to Italy. The embargo generally became effective today, except for the ban on iron exports, which will go into effect November 25. The list issued by the Government included aluminum, nickel, magne- sium, manganese, bauxite, hides, yarns, potatods, oils, cooking fats and all raw materials for metallurgical and rubber industries. 5 — Missions Secretary Stricken.

The latest advices from the Somali- land front place the Italian advanced position just beyond Sasa Baneh, about 130 miles from Harar. The recent battle involving Col. Maletti's column occurred considerably in the rear of this advance position, about 200 miles from Harar. (Col.

Advance columns on both the Eritrean and Somaliland fronts ran the risk of sudden bursts of fire which in the last Jfew days have brought death to varying numbers of Fascists before they could route the native warriors. In the Eritrean sector, the Ethio- pian defenders fought at special ad- vantage. having rocky hideouts from which they could surprise the Italian columns. On the southern front, Gen. Ru- dolfo Graziani’s main forces were pushing north from Gorrahei slowly | behind advance troops, variously re- | ported to have penetrated as far as Sasa Baneh and even to Daggah Bur, 100 miles southeast of Jijiga. “JOYS OF CHRISTIANITY” TO BE DR.

A move to amend the social security act In the next Congress was hinted as a possibility today as officials studied over several thorny problems of administration. The legislation gives the Social Se- curity Board the imagination-stagger- ing task of checking the wages of each of the Nation’s 28,000,000 workers after 1936. Tentative plans call for obtaining the data from employers. Whether this can be accomplished through social security tax returns or whether supplemental questionnaires will be necessary has not been determined. Interdepartmental studies have raised the question whether the board | has authority to compel answers to such questionnaires. One official said an amendment may become imperative if supplemental questionnaires are found necessary. They are not authorized by the law. The act directs the Secretaries of the Treasury and Labor, and the board, to “make and publish such rules and regulations * * * as may be necessary to the efficient administra- tion of the functions with which each is charged under this act.” It stipulates that old-age benefits, payable in 1942, must be based on total wages earned after 1936. No provision for obtaining the information was made. Officials are studying whether re- turns for the old-age taxes, which be- come effective in 1937, can be so drawn as to elicit the data If supplemental questionnaires are needed, however, there apparently is | no provision in the act itself for the punishment of employers who decline to answer. Other statutes are being searched to determine whether any would provide the compulsion sought. Methods of identifying applicants for old age pensions are receiving careful study. Census records card-indexed as & work-relief project will assist the board in checking applicants’ ages. CALL J.EDW.CHAPMAN STNSt.N.W. NO. 3609 5248 wisconsin ave.
