Byrd” and 38| \NDON INSISTENT Perish at Sea in Hurrwane AGAINST INVASION War Commissar Says En- zemy Will Be Defeated * _on Own Territory. By the Associated Press. KIEV, Russia, September 17.—Amid wild cheers, ‘Klemti E. Voroshiloff, Rissian commissar of war and navy, promised inhabitants of the Ukraine, in a speech made public today, if war cqmes it will not be fought on Soviet soil. “We reaffirm if the Soviet's enemies aftack the Ukraine, White Russia or any other part of the union,” Voros- hiloff declared, “we not only will stop him from entering the socialistic fatherland, we will defeat the enemy o8 the territory he came from.” (Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler de- clared, September 12, at Nurnberg, Germany: “If we had the Urals, if we possessed Siberia, if we had the Ukraine, national socialist Germany | uld be swimming in surplus prosper- ity.”) “The defense minister's speech, at the conclusion of army maneuvers on Russia’s western frontier, was ad- dressed to all inhabitants, even in- cluding the “octobrists” — children under 7 years old. Recalls Civil War. #That won't happen again, I assure you,” he shouted, reminding the Ukrainians Kiev was occupied 15 times during the civil war of the early 1920's. “The next war,” Voroshiloff warned, “will be furious and flerce. The most horrible devices ever seen will be used for destruction. You can imagine what havoc that would in- flict on your territory. “It is your duty to organize and help so that we can administer such a defeat to any enemy mad enough to try to invade the Soviet Union that his grandchildren won't forget the lesson we will teach them. “Remember the past and study it, but remember the past will not return, even though gentlemen abroad may dream a lot about setting foot on Soviet soil. They will never do it.” Willing to Disarm. Voroshiloff recalled the declara- tions of Dictator Joseph Stalin of the Boviet's desire for peace. He reiter- ated Russia's assertion it still is ready and eager for complete disarmament if other nations would consent. “As much as we love our army,” he said, “we would send them back to the flelds and factories if disarma- ment were approved. But our class eaemies refuse to stop. They won't disarm because they fear their own | people, their own workers, tomorrow.” They tear (Continued From First Page.) dent the desirability of certain fixed Tesponsibilties of this nature. The necessity for co-operation be- tween officials and private relief and welfare agencies was strongly urged by members of the National Women's Committee of the mobilization in a meeting in the East Room of the White House. Members were disappointed at the #bsence of Mrs. Roosevelt, who was prevented by illness from attending. They voted their gratitude for her “private interest, knowledge and un- tiring efforts” in behalf of their work. Mrs. Harper Sibley, Rochester, N. Y., said “the tremendous desire to see co-operation” between the two types of agencies was the most significant out- growth of discussion, and that such ©o-operation was essential. At the suggestion of Miss Katherine Lenroot, head of the Children's Bu- reau, the group pledgsd its efforts to encourage a development of ‘“under- standing, informed support and con- structive criticism of public service.” Mrs. Margaret Culkin Banning pointed to .this support as a means of ending confusion in relief work. Members will meet again tomorrow at the Mayflower Hotel to formulate a definite plan of organization. This afternoon the specific respon- sibilities of Chest organizations will be outlined in addresses by Newton D. Baker, honorary president of Com- munity Chests and Councils, and Still- man F. Westbrook, president. Dorothy Thompson, author and syndicate writer, and Charles P. Taft, vice president of the Y. M. C. A. in Cincinnati, will speak at tonight's dinner session. The business meeting of the con- ference is scheduled at a breakfast session tomorrow and the issue of corporation contributions will be taken up at a general session at 10 a.m. At this time, Donaldson Brown, chairman of the Finance Committee, General Motors Corp., will outline the basis for attacking the problem and discussion of it by industrial groups will follow immediately in four sectional meetings. At the same time the women will meet to consider their particular part in attacking the welfare problem. Reports from all groups will be sub- mitted at the luncheon session, clos- ing event of the conference. PUT POWER IN YOUR PENNIES § o for quality, service and econ- omy.

BLACKBURN 700 Conn. Ave. 2ad Floor The exploration ship, Pourguoi-pas, which gale off Iceland with the loss of 38 men and Capt. the “Admiral Byrd of France.” By the Assoclated Press. REYKJAVIK, Iceland, September 17.—A single survivor told today of the tragic fate of 39 scientists and sailors who drowned after the ground- ed French Polar exploration ship Pourquoi Pas was ripped to pleces by a hurricane off Iceland. He was Eugene Geonldec, ship's petty officer, whom the raging waves cast up on the rocky shore. Farmers found him on the rocks—unconscious, half-frozen and tied to a piece of wood. Near the spot where he was thrown the pounded bodies of 30 of the vic- tims were recovered later. Among them was Capt. Jean Baptiste Charcot, distinguished Arctic and Antarctic ex- plorer, whose leadership of scientific expeditions won for him the title of “Admiral Byrd of Franc Geonidec was taken to a farm house where, after being given coffee and wrapped in warm blankets, he recov- ered consciousness. He fell into a deep sleep for many hours before he awoke to tell the story of the disaster. The Pourquoi Pas, returning from & five-month expedition, ran into the hurricane yesterday, he said. The ship with its crew and scientists were en route to Copenhagen, where the ex- plorers were to be welcomed by the Royal Danish Geographical Society. The 449-ton wooden sailing ship tried to beat her way back to Reyk- Jjavik, but ran aground early Wednes- day, the survivor declared. The ves- sel began to leak, and its auxiliary en- gine was stopped. The crew tried to launch lifeboats, Geonidec asserted. Their efforts were repulsed by mountainous waves breaking over the little vessel. The high seas even washed away all life- belts, he declared. Escape “Miraculous.” Geonidec, who described his own escape as “miraculous,” said the ex- pedition members and crew then tried their only chance—to swim to safety. But only Geonidec was able to reach the shore alive. On the cosst, residents of the dis- trict watched the men sink in the battering waves. A short time later the Danish gunboat Aegir found only the mast tops of the doomed ship protuding from the water. The voyage, ironically, was to have been the last for both the polar ship and Dr. Charcot. The expedition was sponsored by the Paris Trocadero Museum of Ethnography and sailed from Copenhagen April 25. Dr. Charcot, 69, led numerous ex- peditions into the North and South Polar Seas and won decorations from | both the French and British govern- ments, Inherited Tastes. Capt. Charcot inherited his scien- tific tastes from his father, Dr. J. M. Charcot, who was one of the world’s leading neurologists at the time of his death, in 1893. The Pourquois Pas, built for Capt. Charcot at St. Nalo, France, was al- most constantly in the Antarctic or oundered in a Jean Charcot, —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. the Arctic, exploring coasts and cur- rents. Capt. Charcot, an officer in the French Navy, made his first voyage to polar seas at the head of a French expedition to the south polar regions in 1905. Unheard of for months in that day of no wireless communication, the expedition was feared lost and rescue crews were being recruited in France when the Charcot party showed up at Puerto Madrin, Argentina. The com- mander was decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor for his voyage. He led another similar expedition in 1908, backed by the Prench govern- ment and by the Rothschilds, who sub- scribed $8,000. Capt. Charcot made more voyages before the World War, and after that conflict he renewed his studies in the polar regions nearly every season. Searched for Amundsen. In 1925, when one of Roald Amund- sen’s north polar expeditions was missing, Charcot searched the east coast of Greenland in the Pourquoi- Pas. Three years later, when Amundsen and Rene Guilbaud were lost while piloting a seaplane to the rescue of the survivors of the Nobile dirigible disaster, the Charcot boat again was sent north. One of Capt. Charcot's latest sig- nificant reports was made to the Prench Academy of Sciences in April, 1931. It embodied findings by two scientists who had accompanied him m the northern seas which indicated & complete reversal of magnetic in- clination and declination. Charcot was & member of the Prench academies of science, marine and medicine and wore decorations of both France and Great Britain. He was twice married. His wife sued for divorce while he was in the Ant- arctic in 1905. In January, 1907, he married Marie Clery, daughter of a prominent attorney. Charcot was a lifetime resident of Neuilly-sur-Seine. His widow and two daughters survive, Rhodes Associate Dies. LONDON, September 17 (#) —Sir James Tennant Molteno, 71, former associate of Cecil Rhodes in South Africa, died yesterday.

Landon, preparing to carry his presidential campaign into the agricultural Middle West, said to- day the Republican party offers a “de- pendable, permanent program” to re- place “present stop-gap policies of this administration.” He left details for discussion at Des Moines September 22, in the first of three major speeches to be made on the tour. “I am happy to accept invitations to speak at Des Moines, Minneapolis and Milwaukee,” the Governor said. “The present stop-gap policies of this administration need to be re- placed by a dependable, permanent program that will give farming the equality it deserves. The Republican party has such a program. “The policies by which this ad- ministration is trading off the mar- kets of the American farmer must be changed. Droughts and floods have made imperative a proper Federal- State water and soil conservation pro- gram, so far neglected by the present administration. A well-worked-out land-use program has become a ne- cessity. The Midwest campaign swing will be through Iowa, Minnesota, Wiscon- sin and Illinois. He will speak Sep- tember 24 at Minneapolis and Sep- tember 26 at Milwaukee. (All three will be broadcast, each scheduled for 9:20 p.m., Eastern standard time.) Tomorrow at 3 p.m., Eastern stan- dard time, the Governor will address a national conference of Young Repub- lican leaders here. (The address will be carried over the National Broad- casting Co.’s Red network.) Fred A. Seaton, head of the Kansas Young Republicans, emphasized that the meeting will be open to all young voters, regardless of past political af- filiations.
