SILENT TEN DAYS Base Ship Sailors Smell Rain and Grass on Way to Chile. By Radio to The Star. ON BOARD THE MOTOR SHIP WYATT EARP, Antarctica, Decem- ber 4—It is now 10 days since word | has been received from diincoln Ells- worth, who, on November 23, left Dundee Island, which lies 600 miles south of Cape Horn, to fly to the Ross Bea, south of New Zealand. On the way to Magallanes, the Wyatt Earp, Ellsworth supply ship, is passing by Tierra del Fuego, and the delightful smell of fresh rain on fertile soil and the mellifluous pun- gent scent of budding tussock grass is in the air. It is surprising how keen the sailor’s nose gets for these fecundate things, especially after be- ing for weeks in the frozen deathlike whiteness of the polar regions. On the assumption that Ellsworth and his pilot, Herbert Hollick-Kenyon, would safely complete the flight, the Wyatt Earp might have gone directly to the Ross Sea and most likely found him there, but, if he was not there by the time the boat arrived—some time in mid-January—it would be too late in the season to make arrangements for his relief. He may have reached his goal and he may not. He may be down some- where along the route, waiting for good weather in which to proceed. He may have found some outstanding and interesting geological feature, which he has stopped to examine, or he may be—no one here can tell, for his wireless, since he covered half the journey, has been consistently silent. So his ship is on the way to Magal- | fanes to pick up an airplane to be uged in laying depots or reaching Ells- worth, if he is down somewhere and unable to proceed. The swell of the sea south of Cape | $forn has beer heavy enough to in- | eonvenience some on board, but now the Wyatt Earp is in calmer waters and some time on Friday should reach Magallanes, there to await the arrival of the emergency airplane.

Roosevelt was still chuck- ling today about the “First Lady” she met last night over the footlights. She “recognized many funny little things” in the Washington political satire “First Lady,” which she saw ata Broadway Theater, but thought it w “a take-off of situations—not people.” | That was her answer to friends who | asked if Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Dolly Gann or any other high figures | from Capital life had been character- | ized in the comedy.

Reveals $100,000 to $200,000 Paid Ranking Officers Annually. By the Associated Press. General Motors' topflight salary list, showing total payments of $100,000 to $200,000 annually to ranking officers, has been made public by the Securities Commission over the company’s pro- test. It revealed William 8. Knudsen, ex- ecutive vice president, «drew $211,128 in salary and bonus last year, and Al- fred P. Sloane, jr., president, $201,- 743. Twelve others received more than $70,000, with a sharp drop from that figure to $25,000 or less for some 20 directors. This information was filed months ago with what commission officials sald was a request that it be held con- fidential. Several hundred companies similarly asked secrecy for specified details of their business which the law required that they furnish in register- ing their securities. Revealed in 250 Cases. Considering each case separately, the commission recently decided that in about 250 instances it was to the public interest that the information in question—dealing sometimes with sales totals, net income and the like, as well as salaries—be made generally avail- able. About 20, mostly minor, were made public last night. At the same time, the commission issued its monthly report on stock- holdings and transfers of officers, di- rectors and principal stockholders of registered corporations, showing a con- | tinuation—but in decreasing volume— of the practice of large gifts of securi- ties. ‘This practice was noted after passage last Summer of the revenue bill, im- posing heavy taxes on such gifts to prevent evasion of estate taxes. The levies become effective January 1. Knudsen's total remuneration con- sisted of $120,000 in salary and $91,128 in bonus. Sloane’s included $118,800 salary and $82,743 bonus.

Pratt, $134,527; Charles F. Kettering, $140,495; Lawrence P. Fisher, $124,- 218; John Thomas Smith, $125212; Richard H. Grant, $118,802; James D. Mooney, $118,306; William A.
