" SOVIET DISELOSES SPEEDY AR FORCE 11,200 Men Transported Simultaneously and Safely Landed, Says Official. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, November 20.—The quick mobility of the Soviet army's new of- fensive weapon—its parachute and air- | plane infantry—was shown today in | figures made public by War Commis- | sar Klementi E. Voroshiloff. He declared the red military ma- | €hine was developed to such an extent | there was no doubt the Soviet Union would be able to conquer the enemy. 11,200 Safely Landed. Voroshiloff said 11,200 men were transported simultaneously by air dur- ing recent army maneuvers and were | safely landed with full light fighting | equipment. This is more than one division in man strength, although no | artillery was carried. Three thousand members of this aerial army landed with parachutes, coming down behind the lines of a theoretical enemy. They were equip- ped with automatic rifles and light machine guns. Transport planes landing at the rate of 1,000 men every 16 minutes brought to the ground 8200 more soldiers, Voroshiloff's account said. Military missions of three European powers, the commissar stated, watched the landing of 1,200 parachutists and 2,500 other fighting men, while 1,800 more parachutists and 5,700 regular troops came to the ground in another part of the front. More Volunteers Than Needed. ‘Voroshiloff declared the users of the parachutes were drawn solely from among volunteers, who offered them- selves in such numbers that many had to be rejected. The satisfactory performance of tanks, thousands of which the Red Army possesses, was also reported. They were used successfully in travers- ing swamps, fording rivers and cross- | ing bays, the commissar stated.

Prom the top of the high- est point on the northwestern side of | Dundee Island the airplane, Polar | Star, cleared the ground with Herbert Hollick Kenyon. pilot, and myself, as | navigator, and started on what has | been called the last great adventure | in the history of Antarctic explon-:‘ tion. ‘The take-off was successful at 2:50 am. (E.S. T.). The plane is in radio communication with the supply ship. | We are bound across the continent | from the Weddell Sea to the Ross | Sea and, while numerous plans and | many preparations have been made, we are the first to be in a favorable position, with adequate equipment to carry out the trans-Antarctic journey. Shackleton in 1914 lost his ship be- fore he reached the starting point. ‘Wilkins was foiled two years in suc- | cession by failing to find a suitable | airplane fleld from which to start. | ‘Watkins, after much preparation and endeavor, failed to get started from England. Riiser Larsen was carried away from the barrier edge by the breaking up of the ice and did not get | started on the actual journey. Waited for Two Years. In 1933 at the Bay of Whales my | plane was almost ready for the cross- ing when the treacherous ice damaged | 1t beyond immediate repair. Last year 1 waited anxiously at Snow Hill Island for & month and more for decent weather, without avail. This season we have so far had bet- ter luck. We were fortunate in our choice of Dundee Island as a base. Here we have an almost unlimited runway, with a good surface. ‘The plane seems to be in fine con- dition, and as pilot I have in Hul-‘ lick-Kenyon a man who has had years of experience in flying over the Arctic slopes of Canada in temperatures much lower than we expect to ex-| perience on this flight. He is used to landing at the edge of bad weather on untried flelds, looking after his machine and starting up again when the weather clears. I have my navigation problems at | my finger ends, and trusting in Provi- | dence and with faith in the reward | of rerance, we are starting the | flight of 2,140 miles, 1,300 miles of which will be over territory not yet seen by human eyes. For 600 miles we will pass over unclaimed areas and that segment of the Antarctic is thought to be fringed by & coast line | of about 900 miles. The procedure heretofore, because these Antarctic areas have been approached by ship, has been to claim them from: the coast line inward to the Pole, and logically, there is no reason why the reverse may not be done. Will Drop United States Flag. Six hours out and after crossing the eighteenth meridian, which we expect to cross at latitude 77, we will be in unclaimed territory. With the permission of the United States State Department, I will then drop the Stars and Stripes, and so far as that act ‘will suffice, claim the area we discover, even up to the 120th meridiap, for the United States. Following the precedent of other explorers, and to honor one ‘who made it possible for me to make this flight and other earlier efforts in the interest of science and dis- covery, I will name the area James W. Ellsworths Land, after my fathgr, ‘who was himself a ploneer. For the first half hour after our start from Dundee Island, and until we reach Snow Hill Island, we will be over or at the edge of open water, and for the first four hours the route lies along the eastern side of Graham Land, which has already been explored. This part of the flight will give me a good opportunity to check up on ground speed and navigational data. After crossing Stefansson Strait and tering Hearst Land, we will be over great unknown. 4 " Jourteen hours of fiying from Snow 1935, by North American | Alijance, Inc.. and New York | | is below him. And so quickly does perfect functioning of his engine, must take the chahce of ice forcing him down, or of being caught in storms of which he will have no warning, because his proposed landing place is now deserted and he must navigate for long distances over territory where nobody has even been, handicapped by the vagaries of the magnetic com- | pass in high latitudes. If he succeeds he will have per- formed a feat which can only be ac- complished with great good luck, a flight comparable to that which Sir Hubert Wilkins made across the North Polar Sea from Alaska to Spitzbergen. Ellsworth has the advantage of being able to land on the frozen surface in an emergency, either to wait for a | storm to blow by or to repair his en- gine, but experience has shown that landing a plane in the Antarctic is accompanied by many complications and danger. The great thing in Ellsworth's fa- vor this time is that he found a suit- able starting place early in the season, before the snow surfaces of the Far Northern Archipelago became softened by the Summer sun. At this time of the year, also, he is less likely to en- counter the fogs and quick-forming clouds in the interior which make flying there impossible for long in- tervals. Bay of Whales Foggy. His greatest handicap is that he has no way of determining the weather at | the Bay of Whales, his goal, and, in the past. pilots have found it difficult, even with the aid of radio guidance, to reach and land safely at that often foggy spot. Unless he has sufficient fuel at the end of his long flight to turn around and get back into the clear interior, he may find himself caught in a position where he can only feel his way down to a landing, with no indication of what the surface the sky become overcast for long di: tances near the Ross Sea that even a hasty flight toward the interior might not extricate him. | ‘The reason for this danger is that | when fog sets in, or the sky is heavily overcast, it is impossible to see the surface of the snow. It is a condition which exists in the barren lands of Northern Canaeda and in a few other places around the North Polar Basin, where the terrain is flat and land- marks are obliterated. But in the Antarctic the entire surface, except in the mountains, is white and when the sky is covered with low clouds nothing shows below in the diffused light and often pilots of Admiral Byrd's expeditions were prevented from flying out to sea only by a glimpse of a| shadow below them marking open | water at the edge of the bam". Ellsworth’s course is elmost a straight line between Dundee Island, where he takes off, and the Bay of ‘Whales. It will carry him over about 600 miles of territory which has never been seen and should extend to the east the survey of the plateau end mountains explored by Chief Pilot Harold June of Byrd's last expedition. When June was forced to turn back he could see high, isolated mountains along the coast to the east and many peaks farther inland. North of them was & plateau which apparently reached an altitude of 3,000 or 4,000 feet and extended to the Queen Maude range, at the southern edge of the high polap plateau. Trough Theory Held Disproved. Ellsworth's original intention was to determine whether there was a frozen strait or trough south of the Queen Maude range, and running be- tween the Ross and Weddell Seas. But the discoveries by Byrd and June Darans Fitting the propeller on the Ellsworth trans-Antarctic plane on & The Wyatt Earp, ship which carried the Ellsworth expedition ption Island. —Copyright, N. A. N. A. Photos. HERBERT HOLLICK-KENYON, ‘Who is piloting Ellsworth’s plane. apparently disproved that old theory. Ellsworth’s discoveries, if he has clear weather, may be just as valu- able in showing how far the moun- tains behind the Edsel Ford range extend to the east. It is possible that the mountains of which the Ford range is a part run all the way to the archipelago explored by Wilkins. Flying over these mountains, or skirting their southern edge, as Ells- worth apparently plans to do, will be | dangerous if he has bad weather. He apparently intends to land, if he meets fog or storm or overcast sky, not only for safety, but also to wait for clear weather that will enable him to see the terrain and take positions to fix it upon the map. Such a risky pro- | cedure has never been attempted, but | the nature of the flight is such that | he may have to attempt things which ordinarily would be foolhardy. } Navigating on such a flight also| will be difficult unless he is able to get constant sun sights, for, although the compass will be fairly reliable on the first half of the flight—the time when he will need 1t most, by the way —it will become increasingly erratic as | he approaches the Magnetic Pole. Possible Hunt Held Risky. Although Ellsworth has left in- structions specifying various places for searchers to look for him if he is forced down and attempts to walk out, there is no way they will be able to tell what place he may make for except by the elapsed time of his flight up to the moment his radio signals cease. It would be an almost impossible task to find him, even, if the ship were successful in quitkly reaching some of the places he has indicated as possible objectives. And, as he will be several hundred miles from the coast during most of the flight, it is a question whether he could walk that far. A walk of 100 miles, car- rying what food is necessary, is be- lieved to be the extreme limit of travel in the Antasctic, and, even with a light sledge, it is doubtful if two men would get very far on foot with meager equipment. Ellsworth does not’ use skis, and they are in- dispensable for fast travel on that surface. : Altogether, his flight may be looked upon as one of the most haz- ardous ever undertaken in the polar regions, and one which will require the greatest skill and luck to carry through. If he has good weather most of the way, he should make it and add a good deal to the knowledge of the sector where is still the longest unexplored shore line in the Antarctic. It is in many ways the most interest- ing part of the continent yet to be explored. (Copyrioht, 1935. by the North Americ an Newspaper ' Alliance, Inc.. snd the N York Times Co.) i Hill Island should put us within a few miles of the Bay of Whales. However, we hardly expect to be so fortunate as to find good weather right across the continent on the same day, and, since my object is not to hurry from one side to the other, but to see and reconnoiter the region over which we fly, we may find it necessary, if fog or low clouds are met, to land and await the clearing of the weather. We will carry with us 150 pounds of highly concentrated dried foods, enough for one full ration of 34 ounces per day per man for five weeks. If necessary we could make the food last eight weeks, at 24 ounces per day per man, and this would not be a hardship, for the dried food when cooked with Water makes a con- siderable bulk. Other explorers in the past have fared very well with less than 20 ounces a day, even when on forced marches and over a period of several weeks. | I estimate that we can complete g / flight within five weeks, even if we make several stops and, if we find it necessary to abandon the plane, we hope from any point along the jour- ney to be able in less than five weeks to walk to the coest and find food in the form of seals and pepguins. Between the tenth and eleventh hours out will be the most critical period, should an accident occur, for then we will be more than 400 miles from the estimated coastline and pos- sible source of fresh food supply. But, even so, we should be able to make the journey in five weeks by averaging 12 miles a day. Excepting this part of the journey, we will be less than 350 miles from the edge of the land- fast ice and the possible source of food. Wear Light, Warm Clothes. In the plane I wear light but warm clothing, a suit of camel-hair under- wear, two pairs of socks, woolen breeches, squirrel skin parka, Indian moccasins covered with canvas, topped rubber soled boots. I carry a reindeer skin parka handy in case I need 1t, also a chamols face mask and a pair of dogskin mitts, but I expect a pair of silk gloves covered by woolen mit- tens will keep my hands warm. Hollick-Kenyon is dressed in a simi- lar manner except he wears a reindeer skin parka over a woolen shirt. As mascots I carry an ox shoe from the trail of 1849, which I picked up 1n Death Valley, a St. Christopher medal and a Mickey Mouse given to me by my wife. The flags I shall have with me are the Stars and Stripes and flags of the National Geographic Society, Yale, New York Athletic Club, a small American flag from the Hill School, Potgstown, Pa., which I attended, and the flag of thHe Quiet Birdmen. My revolver, which I might need to kill seals when we arrive at the Bay of ‘Whales, is carried in the holster used by the famous Marshal Wyatt Earp, who was my boyhood hero, and I wear one of my most treasured possessions, which is a gold Wng worn by Wyatt Earp throughout the days when he was 50 successfully conspicuous in helping to pioneer the West. Our spare gear packs include extra clothes and such thihgs as soap, comb, toothbrushes and razors, which our civilization seems to consider essen- tial. Leaves Data on Plans. ‘To provide for emergency, I have left the following instructions on board our supply ship, the motorship ‘Wyatt Earp: “To whom it may concern—It is my intention to fly from Dundee Is- land to the Bay of Whales, Ross Sea, on a more or less great circle coumse. If a forced landing from which no communication by wireless and no further progress by our own plane can be made before reaching latitude 69.30, I would expect to follow the Larsen Ice Barrier to Robinson Is- land and Robertson Island, then fol- low through Crown Prince Gustav ©hannel and Breach Hope Bay as rendezvous, possibly looking for de- pots and leaving notes on the south- west corner of Robinson Island and on the northeast corner of Robertson Island and Cape Longing. “If a forced landing is made after passing latitude 69:30 and before reaching latitude 72, I would make for Cape Pierre Baudin, Marguerite Bay, passing through Bourgios and Lalleman Fjords, then along Matha Bay, Cape Evensen and make Pitt Island the rendezvous, leaving notes on Cape Pierre Baudin and the north- west tip of the cape opposite Baird Island and Cape Evensen. “If by chance the route to Pitt Island is impassable on foot, I should expect to make the southwest corner of Beascochea Bay the rendezvous. If a forced landing is made between lati- tudes 72 and 75, I shquld expect to make for Martha Charcot Island and remain there until relieved, looking for a depot on the southeast corner of Charcot Island. If a forced land- ing is made between latitudes 75 and 80, I would turn north to the edge of Landfast Ice and then eastward to Monique Charcot Island, expecting to remain there until relieved, looking for & depot on the southwest corner of the Charcot Island. Another Alternative Course. “If a forced landing is made be- tween latitudes 80 and 81 and before reaching longitude 130, I would make for Mount Mabelle Sidley to leave a message and look for a depot and possibly remain there with the ex- pectation of being relieved. If, how- ever, there is no food obtainable at Mount Mabelle Sidley and we have food sufficient to enable us to reach Mount Grace McKinley, I might de- | cide to leave & note at Mount Mabelle Sidley and proceed to Mount Grace McKinley. If a forced landing is made after passing longitude 130 I would make for Little America, fol- lowing the course laid down for the airplane. “At Little America last year, through the courtesy of Admiral Byrd, I laid down 500 gallons of gasoline and some lubricating oil. With these supplies there are 20 or 30 days of food rations. I have no information from Admiral Byrd as to the amount or disposition of his supplies, or if any were left at Little America, and I am not much concerned with that, for once we are at the Bay of Whales we will find many seals and penguins and, with our own supplies, we will be able to live until the latter part of January, or later, if the Wyatt Earp should be delayed in reaching us.” (Copyright, 1935. by the North Amel‘lfiifi Newspaper Alliance, Inc., and New ¥or.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, No- vember 20.—The weird cosmic para- dox of retreating universes holds throughout creation. Dr. M. L. Humanson, astronomer of the Mount Wilson Observatory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, today reported to the National Acad- emy of Sciences here results of obser- vations of 100 extra-galactic nebulae rushing outward with speeds increas- ing in strict comsistency with their distance from the observer. These extra-galactic nebulae are enormous aggregations of stars lying across gulfs of thousands of light years of empty space from the 30- billion star conglomeration of the Milky Way system, of which the solar system is a part. For the most part, as seen from the earth, they are speeding away into further and further reaches of space. The further away a nebula is the faster it moves outward—the speed increasing ap- proximately 560 kilometers per sec- ond for each million parsecs—a par- sec being approximately four times the distance light, traveling at 180,000 miles a second, covers in a year. Speed of Retreat Measured. ‘This paradox, Dr. Humanson told the academy, no longer depends upon isolated observations but holds throughout the range of observation and for all serts of extra-galactic ob- jects. The Mount Wilson astronomers have measured the speed of retreat— as it is revealed in the shifting of lines in the spectra of the nebulae—for six clusters of galaxies, five smaller groups, and 56 isolated ones. The speed of outward motion varied from a few hundred kilometers a second for a few nearer and brighter extra- galactic objects to approximately 40,- 000 kilometers a second for certain groups in the constellations of Boetes and the Big Bear, which are at an average estimated distance of 70,000,- 000 parsecs from earth. In one cluster alone 25 new velocity measurements were made, averaging 1,200 kilometers & second. In six cases, Dr. Humanson reported, evidence was found of slight negative velocities. The extra-galactic aggrega- tions of stars are moving toward the Milky Way system instead of away from it. These are the nearest of all the nebulae and the contradiction may be due to errors of observation due to stars or groups of stars intervening between the spectrascope gnd the ex- ternal objects. Paradox Is Unexplained. Astronomers are as far as ever from any commonly accepted explanation of this strange paradox of space, it was pointed out, but all are agreed that the speed increase relative to dis- tance from the observer is a fact which no longer can be disputed. A puzzle of the Milky Way system itself was presented by Drs. P. van de Kamp and A. N. Vyssotsky of the Uni- versity of Virginia, who reported on the relative proportion of giants and dwarfs among certain classes of stars. They found that while dwarfs, such as the sun, are much more abundant in the universe, nevertheless more than nine-tenths of all the stars visible to the naked eye are giants, since they can be seen for much greater distances. They also found that the white giants, | the hottest of all stars, are concentrat- | ed around the plane of the Milky Way, while the yellow and red giants are fairly dispersed throughout the uni- verse. The significance of this is a puzzle, since none of the dynamic theories of the Milky Way system of- fers any explanation of it. Many “Giant” Suns Surveyed. ‘They also found that there are many giant “suns” scattered through the universe. These are stars with about the same spectrum and at about the same temperature as the sun. It formerly was supposed that all were dwarfs. They found that about half of those surveyed were giants. When Gallileo first looked on the face of the moon through a telescope more than 400 years ago he said it looked “like the tail of a peacock” be- cause of the numbers of deep craters ‘with which it was covered. Dr. F. E. Wright of the geophysical laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washe ington, chairman of a special commit= tee which is studying the physical fea- tures of the moon, told the National Academy today that these craters have a remarkable distribution according to size. Starting with those about two miles in diameter, those of progressive- 1y larger size up to a maximum diame- ter of about 150 miles show a constant dimunition in numbers. This, it was pointed out, indicates that all the moon’s craters are due to a single cause, but brings astron- OIL BURNERS, . ] R;lph J. Moore Coal Co. 1401 N. Cap.

A probable neurological basis for certain effects of drugs—such, for ex- ample, as incoherent speech and stag- gering gait due to excess alcohol— was advanced in an interview by Dr. C. C. Speidel of the University of Virginia in the form of a hypothe- sis of “jumping synapses” |, From the nucleus of a nerve cell extend thread-like fibers along which the impulses travel. The threads of one nerve cell are in contact with, but not joined to, the threads of the next cell so that there is a continuous nerve path from the outside of the body to the brain, made up of dis- continuous elements. The break between threads of dif- ferent nerves is known as a “synapse.” In the past it has been held that there was actually an extremely nar- Tow space over which the nerve im- pulse must jump, somewhat as an electric spark will jump over a gap. It now is generally believed, however, that in their normal condition the edds are in loose contact so that there is no real break in the path. Experimented on Tadpoles. Dr. Speidel’s observations on tad- poles, in which @me of the nerve action can be watched through trans- parent bodies, show that the free endings of nerve fibers in the skin tend to retract when they come in contact with alcohol or, it is likely, other drugs or an electric current. The implication is that the nerve endings in the nerve paths do the same. Thus the “synapse” becomes a real gap over which the nerve im- pulse must jump. It fails to make connections or makes them with difficulty. It is probable the production of these widened synapses in the cere- brum, Dr. Speidel believes, that is re- sponsible for the less coherent talk of a drunken man. The paths from brain to tongue are broken. Production of wider synapses, probable in the cere- bellum, may be responsible for the un- steady gait. The same phenomenon, he believes, may have an important function in the production of analgesia by local anesthetics. The anesthetic acts on the free nerve endings. They jump back from the surface of the body so that they are not there to pick up pain impulses. Once picked up the pain stimulus cannot be carried along the nerve path so efficiently. In so far as this applies to the synapses, Dr. Speidel explained, it must be considered as an hypothesis, since it is impossible, at present, to observe what actually takes place at the nerve endings. He has experi- mental work in view, however, which may clear up the subject. Giant Sloths Discussed. Gigantic creatures with scimitar- like claws, so clumsy that they could- n't travel much more than a mile & month, constituted the dominant ani- mals over the whole South American continent for millions of years and, toward the end of their existence as a race, invaded North America, Dr. W. W. Scott of Princeton University, fore- most living authority on the extinct mammal life of the New World, told the academy. These fantastic animals were the glant sloths. Their nearest living relatives are the armadillos and the clumry tree sloths of South America. They belonged near the foot of the family tree of warm-blooded animals. Judging from the representatives of the race today they were quite reptile- like. Their temperature tended to ad- just itself to that of their surround- ings, over a range of about 30 degrees. In the course of about 10 million years they attained enormous size. In spite of their clumsiness their great claws gave them dominance over their world. Largely because of these claws they could walk only on the sides of their feet, so that their progress was| very slow and clumsy. These creatures existed, Dr. Scott said, through the ice-age period and well into the time of human occupancy of the new world. In one cave in Patagonia there has been found the Temains of a giant sloth which, it is apparent, actually was kept in cap-| tivity by men and finally was killed with a blow from a stone club. Then| its captors cut away portions of its skin. ‘The most recent developments in the Ods relationship between terrestrial weather changes and the cyclic changes in the radiation output of the sun were de- scribed to the academy by Dr. Charles G. Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Willlam Bowie, chief of the geodetic section of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, de scribed the national mapping plan oute lined by the National Resources Board. Dr. Isaish Bowman, president of Johns Hopkins University, last night told the academy freedom of scientific inquiry is threatened through governe mental expenditures for education. “Today the threat to freedom in scientific inquiry takes on a new guise,” he sald. “Government has taken advantage of our perilous need to give direction to the education of youth through the expenditure of public funds administered by men who are but sounding boards for po- litical leaders.
