BORISPUTS ARNY - LIST IN' DISCARD New Steps to Remove Mili- tary From Politics Follows Cabinet Shake-Up. By the Associated Press. SOFIA, Bulgaria, November 24.— King Boris took another step early today toward eliminating the army from the politicgl affairs of the na- tion, shortly after a cabinet shake-up which elevated George Kosseivanoff, former minister of foreign affairs, to the post of premier. The King, in a royal decree, an- nounced the retirement of Gen. Rach- ko Athanasoff, Gen. L. Tzanoff and Gen. Todor Radeff, ministers of in- terior, war and education, respectively, in the cabinet which resigned yester- day. Police Chief Relieved. Sofia’s chief of police, Col. Bakar- dijeff, was also relieved of his post, which was given to a brother of the new minister of war. After a four-hour conference with King Boris, Kosseivanoff announced | formation of a cabinet with intense loyalty to the monarch, following the resignation of the government of Andrea Toscheff because of disagree- ment on' internal policies. Political observers expressed the | opinion Kosseivanoff would speed up | Borls' plan for a new constitution | which would eliminate political par- ties and create the guild form of the state. Cabinet Names Announced. ‘The new premier, once director of the Bulgarian Military Academy, named several reserve generals to his cabinet. He asid, however, the ministry was one of experts in financial, labor and agricultural matters instead of men who reflect the attitude of the army, | which in Bulgaria frequently exercises | political influence. The new cabinet is made up as follows: Premier and foreign minister, George Kosseivanoff; minister of interior, Re- serve Gen. Sadoff; minister of war, Gen. Toukoff; minister of education, Jovoff; minister of justice, Dimitri »Peschefl; minister of finance, Kiril Gouneff; minister of national econ- omy,, Dimitri Valeff; minister of rail- ways, Stoyanoff; minister of public works, Ganeff. Ellsworth __(Continued From First Page) functioning well and, so far as checked, was averaging about 125 miles an hour against & head wind. The plane’s wireless was ot giving very good results. Hollick-Kenyon, who was operating the set, either had the coupling too close or else his an- tenna was not in resonance, in the opinion of Walter Lanz, wireless oper- ator on - board the Wyatt Earp. Until the signals ceased they were fairly strong, and Hollick-Kenyon's sending, while not always clear, was generally understeadable. If their plane is down their signals from the emergency wireless set should be heard at prearranged times. At the time of filing this dispatch they had been away for about 14 hours and 15 minutes. Since they have gasoline for about 20 hours at the consumption estimated, they may still be flying through the polar skies on the way to the Bay of Whales, to com- plete the first crossing of the Antarctic Continent. If they maintained the speed they set at the start, it would take them at least 17 hours to get there. Sent Series of Messages. Soon after Ellsworth left Dundee Island he ran into a low fog, but he soon got over it and recognized Cape Framnaes and Robertson Island. At 9:17 (Greenwich meridian time) he messaged: . | “Would like to name the range we | discovered (on the second flight, ‘Thursday) Eternity Range, and the three highest peaks Mount Falth, Mount Hope, and Mount Charity.” At 10:48 he said: “Coming to Cape Northrop. Hazy toward coast, but clear ahead.” At 11:23: “See Cape Eielson and Stefansson Strait ahead. We are a bit too far to the east. There is quite a wind up here now at 10,000 feet, and we are still climbing. It is overcast here, but seems clear to left ahead.” At 11:54: “Can see Lurabee Channel and Stef- ansson Strait parallel on 240-250 com- pass. Thirteen thousand feet now and atill going up.” Feels Height Somewhat. A few moments later Ellsworth mes- saged: “It is cold up here, 22 below zero. Feel height a little. Haven't much breath. There is a cloud over the mountains to the left and ahead. The coast rises slowly from Cape Eielson upward to the mountains.” At 12:15 came five words: “Cape Eielson in three minutes.” At 12:38: “Lots of clouds over mountains to left. Looks as if there is no break | ahead.” At 12:55: “Would like to get under clouds. Machine seems suddenly buoyant. May be summit. On right of track can see & break.” At 13:10: “Low country to right. This range comes from head of Wetldeli Sea to Graham Land, then north, judging by clouds there. The range and plateau must be fairly wide. Am still over it, but think the ground slopes away Sees Big Peaks in Distance. At 13:28: “There is a break ahead and to the right. It looks ar if ground slopes down that way.” At 13:47: “We are over vast circular (jumbled word) with several domed (jumbled word).” At 14:04: “On left front is still another range of mountains. See big peaks in dis- tance. The country between peaks seems to be flat. Looks good for land- Ing, but am not landing now while the going is good.” At 14:14: “Pipe going well, but it takes a lot of breath in this altitude to get it " At 14:30: g “Getting better all the time, Not much wind.

Miss Helen Heckler, secretary to Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physi- cal anthropology of the Smith- sonian Institution, poses with an ancient trephined skull discovered in Alaska by Dr. Hrdlicka, which is | believed to prove that brain surgery was practiced there as long ago as 2,000 years. Dr. Hrdlicka made his discov- eries from the lower strata of an ancient settlement on Kodiak Is- land. He believes trephining among the Indians was a practical surgi- cal operation, designed to relieve pressure against the brain from a skull fracture, and to remove bone splinters. It also is believed possi- ble that the holes were bored in skulls, at times, to let out evil spirits causing headaches. —Harris-Ewing Photo. the hinterland south toward the sea. right north The mountains here | are sedimentary stratifications.

At this time the plane’s signals were becoming harder to read and the sending was more jumbled. At 15:30 Ellsworth signaled: | “Course 185. Will have to think of | changing it soon.

It may be that Wls- worth is now at the Bay of Whales or even on his way back to Dundee Island. But the likely, for this morning he took on board the plane enough provisions to last three weeks more, making a total supply for eight weeks at more than a full ration of 34 ounces a day for each man. His gasoline and oil will give him 20 hours or more of flying, and it is possible that, having ar- rived at new and unclaimed territory beyond longitude 80, he has decided to land for the night, latter is hardly | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

CLARENDON, Va., November 23.— Efforts of Arlington County residents to secure reduced electric rates were advanced today by indications that the Arlington County Civic Federation and the County Public Utilities Commis- sion will lend full backing to the cause, It appeared certain today that both groups will request the County Board to petition the State Corporation Com- mission for extension of service throughout the county by the Brad- dock Light & Power Co., a subsidiary of the Potomac Electric Power Co., which is now serving a limited area 810-818 Seventh St. NGS PAL Free Parking—Eye St. at Tth at rates substantially less than those of the Virginia Public Service Co. A ‘special committee of the Civic Federation voted today to recommend such action, following & conference with Willlam McClellan, president of the Potomac Electric Power Co., and other company officials, at which Mc- Clellan reiterated his unwillingness to petition the commission for extension of its lines in the'face of a recent re- port by counsel of the corpany that members of the commission were not disposed to grant the request., . ‘The committee, headed by I. Chance Buchanan, will make its recommenda- tion to the Civic Federation at the next meeting of that organization, on December 6. Similar Recommendation, Calvin I. Kephart, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, when in- formed of the committee’s action, said the commission undoubtedly would make similar recommendation to the County Board at its next regular meet- ing December 2. ‘The Braddock Light & Power Co., now serving Fort Myer, Rosslyn, S8outh Washington and the recently com- pleted Colonial Village, has been re- peatedly petitioned by residents and | civic associations in the county to ex- tend its lines to other sections. APPEALS TO MISSION EXCEEDING BASKETS Supply Expected to Be Short First Time in Central Union Ac- tivities. For the first time in the history of its Thanksgiving activities, the Cen- tral Union Mission is doubtful whether it will be able to fill all requests for baskets of food which are to be given to needy familles in the District. 8o far, according to Supt. John 8. Bennett, requests for aid have far exceeded all previous records. The deluge comes at a time, he pointed out, when the mission's emergency funds are insufficient to take care of all needs. “Alarmed over the action which takes: away their Federal! relief, families are coming in droves to the mission for food and clothgs,” Bennett | declared. “The situation 1is most | eritical—the most desperate in all mission history. » | “We do not know how we are going to take care of them all, but are hope- ful that our friends in the city and 48- Pair ® Priscillas { ® 6-Piece Cottage Sets A really wonderful curtain opportunity—offering high-grade curtains at a bargain price.
