Friends Say Wheeler Would Reject Bid For Vice Presidency But Thomas Declares He Would ‘Love to Run’ With President By the Associated Press. A definite statement by friends of Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana that he would not accept the Democratic vice presidential nomination put a check today on capital speculation over a possible Roosevelt-Wheeler ticket. Senator Wheeler himself has said repeatedly that he was not available for second place, but recent callers at his office have led some Demo- crats to believe he was being sounded out for the vice presidency on a third-term ballot. i Senator Wheeler has an invitation to see President Roosevelt on the latter’s return to Washington. The Montana Senator, who was the late Senator Robert La Follette's run- ning mate on a third party ticket in 1924, is expected to seek the Democratic presidential nomination if Mr. Roosevelt does not run. Thomas More Receptive. But another Western Senator was more receptive to vice presidential discussion. Senator Thomas of Utah said that he would “love to run with the President and battle for his| cause in the West.” Senator Thomas, recently indorsed for the vice presidential nomination by the Utah Democratic Convention, said that a Westerner should be on | his party’s ticket. ‘While Democratic speculation con- tinued to center on Mr. Roosevelt's intentions, a new Republican presi- dential possibility—Gov. Arthur H. James of Pennsylvania—was ready to strike what some party men described as the keynote of his pre- convention campaign. James Speaks Tonight. Gov. James, elected for a four- year term in 1938, will address the Indiana Republican Editorial Asso- ciation at Indianapolis tonight. It will be broadcast (over an N. B. C. hookup at 10:30 p.m.), and Penn- sylvania Republicans here expressed the belief that it would include an {ndictment of the New Deal. Gov. James was not entered in his home State's presidential primary Tuesday when 72 cunventio_n dele- gates were selected. While not pledged to any one, these delegates are expected by leaders here to go for the Governor as a “favorite son” despite the 6-to-1 margin registered for Thomas E. Dewey by write-in voters in that primary. Both parties arranged today to| pick more convention delegates— | 8 at large for each party in Illinois, | 11 Republican in Mississippi and 4| Republican in Missouri. Philippine Republicans Chosen. Philippine Island Republicans those two uninstructed delegates at Manila yesterday. Exclusion of Senators George and Russell from the pro-Roosevelt dele- gation named yesterday by the Georgia State Demccratic Commit- tee caused some surprise among pol- iticians here, but neither Senator would comment. In some Georgia quarters it was| said neither Senator was particu- larly interested in being a delegate, although it was customary for them to be named. Both Senator George, who won fenomination two years ago despite presidential opposition, and Senator Russell had favored a State primary instead of hand-picking the dele- gates by the party committee. The delegates—172 in all, who will cast 24 votes as a unit—adopted a resolution saying “it would seem as 10 20 MILES 30 —aostsssss- RAILROADS e ey = S TRONDHEIM FJORD o N & & Strategy of both sides in the the destroyers.

About the year 1492 began a new | ice age that reached its peak in the | first half of the 18th century. Now it is in a process of very rapid recession, according to evi- dence presented to the American Geophysical Union today by Dr. F. E. Matthes of the Geological Survey, head of the union’s Committee on Glaciers. It has been supposed hitherto that the last ice age ended approximately 10,000 years ago with the close of the pleistocene geological era in North America and Europe. During the past year, Dr. Matthes said, evi- dence has been accumulating from all over the Northern Hemisphere of a zig-zag movement of the ice. This confirms data gathered by Dr. Matthes himself last year on ad- vances and recessions of the glaciers of the Rocky and Sierra Nevada Mountains. One of the most striking bits of unwise to deprive ourselves of the asset of our Army and Navy or air | force as to deprive this Nation or; the asset of Franklin D. Roosevelt.” | Legion Post to Award Medal to Hoover Tonight J.

MADRID, April 26.—Despite the toll taken by civil war, the govern- ment statistical department esti- mated today that Spain’s population has grown from 23560975 to 26,- 000,000 since 1930. The estimate was based on preliminary work for the 1940 census. The population of Barcelona, the largest city, was estimated at 1,399, 000, an increase of 393,000, and Madrid’s at 1,194,000, an increase of 150, Too Late to Classify AUTOMOBILES FOR SALE.

ARTTOL EADILLAC 1222 23nd St. N.W, oistery spotiess: used about cit evidence, he says, comes from the | report of a Canadian geologist on the delta of the Bear River which empties into a fiord almost on the boundary line between British Co- lumbia and Alaska. It has been de- termined that this delta is made up entirely of glacier-carried debris and that it is less than 4,000 years old. This means that previous to 4,000 years ago there were no glaciers at the headwaters of the Baer and that they returned following a warm interval after the pleistocene. Evidence from Iceland. Other striking evidence comes from Iceland, where geologists have determined that new glaciers came into existence about the beginning of the 16th century, New glaciers, Dr. Matthes found, appeared on the western mountain tops less than 4,000 years ago, when the areas be- low the mountains already were in- habited. They receded and ad- vanced again about the time of the discovery of America. Somewhere around 1890, Dr. Matthes said, the present reces- sion started, but it proceeded at a snail's pace, so gradually that it escaped the attention of geologists until the early 1920s. Then the great retreat started which has been gain- ing momentum ever since. The last winter, in spite of the extreme cold in most parts of the country, saw an accelerated continuation of this recession. Meanwhile, Dr. Matthes said, an international committee of scientists has been organized to study the mechanics of glaciers, and mountain laboratories have been established in the Alps and on Mount Rainier. Already striking differences have been found between the structure of glacial ice and ordinary ice. The latter is a loose aggregate of ice crystals. The latter is “transparent rock,” with large, interlocking crys- tals. A glacier, Dr. Matthes said, acts like a very viscous liquid and obeys the laws of liquid mechanics. Weather and Earthquakes. A definite relation between earth- quakes and the weather was sug- gested to the Geophysical Union by Dr. H. Landsberg of the University of Pennsylvania. A statistical study, he said, shows a strong tendency of earthquakes with focuses deep in the earth to occur in spring and fall. These are seasons when great masses of air are shifted across the equator to the neighborhoqd of the poles. It is highly possible, Dr. Lands- berg said, that this extra weight on the poles may be just sufficient to throw the earth slightly off balance, C. | resulting in a very slight change in the position of the poles. This would be sufficient to cause very great disturbances in the earth’s interior, A new type of ultracenirafuge, a large metal cylinder which spins with enormous velocity in a vacuum chamber without visible means of support, is heing used at the Uni- :5e | versity of Virginia in the study of new chemicals and the preparation of vaccines to fight disease. Dr. J. "ty 305 Bl B0Y0, You BL. Foui Siios, " W. Beams of the Virginia faculty y ] New Ice Age Began About 1492 Is Ending Now, Scientists Told Had Believed Last 10,000 Years Ago told the American Physical Society today that the speed of his new high speed rotors is limited only by the binding strength of the metals used. Standing in Air. Dr. Beams floats a seven-pound cylinder in a vacuum by support- ing it magnetically. Thus it seems to be defying the law of gravity by standing in thin air. Then, he ex- i plained, by applying current to an electrical motor armature wound around the outside of the container it is possible to whirl the cylinder at the top speed it will stand. Fric- tion is virtually absent, the vacuum constituting an almost ideal bear- ing. The cylinder, Dr. Beams said, has been spun at 1,000 revolutions & minute using only a half-horse- power motor. This power later can be reduced practically to zero and the speed of the rotor maintained. | The instrument is potentially dangerous to those in the imme- diate vicinity and Dr. Beams and his assistants work behind brass, steel and wooden barriers for fear of possible bursting of the metal. With the rotor, Dr. Beams said, it is possible to separate the various isotopes of the chemical elements The heavier fractions fly outward first and any fraction of the whole can be drawn off separately in the same way that cream is separated from milk in a cream separator. Berlin (Continued From First Page.) were reported gaining more ground, with fighting proceeding “in several places.” DNB said the German Army had rendered “illusory” any attempt by the allied forces to gain fnfluence .{in the southern part of Norway— from the west coast of Trondheim on down. DNB said that the Germans yes- terday succeeded in occupying the entire narrow region from the coast at a point north of Trondheim across to the Swedish border and were pushing up to positions farther northeastward. It claimed that any enemy attack on the rail line which cuts across Norway from Trondheim to Sweden would be doomed to failure and any northward thrust into the Narvik region would also be futile because of the difficulties of the terrain. It therefore questioned the task of al- lied forces landed north of Trond- heim. - Allied forces are both north and south of the Trondheim rail line to Sweden Text of Communique. Today’s communique said: “British naval forces on April 25 again bombarded the port of Narvik. “Our troops, were reinforced and equipment arrived at Trondheim. “In the Bergen sector German troops were busy cleaning out Nor- wegian troops from ‘the region around Voss. Localized enemy re- sistance was broken. “Strong German units advancing in several columns from Oslo north and northwestward on April 25 gained more ground in collaboration with the air force. Fighting still is going on in several places. “Air force fighting units bom- barded troop concentrations, march- ing columns, traffic points and trans- ports. Harbor facilities used by the enemy were destroyed by bombs. “Eleven enemy airplanes were de- stroyed in an auxiliary airport be- tween Dombas and Andalsnes. Ships Attacked With Bombs. “In the sea region off the Nor- wegian west coast several British ships were attacked by bombs. One minesweeper and one transport were beached after they were struck by bombs, “One torpedo boat showed heavy smoke ' clouds and stopped. One tanker listed heavily after a bomb hit and was abandoned by the crew. The boiler of another relief ship exploded after a bomb hit. “Several planes were damaged by splinters during a British air raid on an airport near Trondheim. “Oslo was attacked and bombard- ) b Civil Aviétioh Schools Boost Pilot Output | Fourfold, Fickel Says Southwest Flyers Hear 2,300 Will Be Added to Army in Two Years By the Associated Press. TULSA, April 26—With the help of civil aviation schools, the Army Air Corps has been able to boost its pilot output more than fourfold under the $300,000,000 air defense program, Brig. Gen. Jacob E. Fickel, assistant chief of the corps, said today. Speaking before the third annual Southwest Aviation Conference, Gen. Fickel said that whereas the graduates of Randolph and Kelly Fields, in Texas, used to number only 250 a year ,the output under the recently instituted speedup program will add 2,300 pilots to the corps in two years. He emphasized that the “stand- ards of training have not been low- ered. “The Air Corps is especially pleased with the quality and num- bers of the students graduated from the civilian flying schools,” he said. A description of what he called the “vertical envelopment attack,” & new tactic in warfare used by the Germans in occupying parts of Norway, was presented by Wayne W. Parrish of Washington, D. C., editor of the magazine American Aviation. “Vertical envelopment,” Mr. Par- rish explained, has as its basis the swift transportation of troops by transport planes. “A streamlined German division today,” Mr. Parrish related, “has only about 10,000 men. “In a country like Norway with a population of half of that of New York City and scattered over a mountainous area, a streamlined fighting unit of 10,000 men is a for- midable enemy force. “If 20 men were transported in one plane, it would require only 100 transport planes to infiltrate this division of 10,000 men, including each man’s side arms, into another country in 24 hours, assuming the distance is not too great. That means only five round trips per plane in one day. “It can be seen how relatively easy it would be to transport five divisions, 50,000 men, into Norway within a week. Imagine the swift- ness of infiltration if 500.instead of 100 transports were used..” William T. Piper of Lock Haven, Pa, who makes more non-military airplanes than any other manu- facturer in the world, told the con- ference that Japanese buying of American spruce—prized for its strength, lightness and freedom from knots—has made the price to American aircraft makers “three or four times” as much as it was in 1934. A leading aviation insurance exec- utive told the conference that one out of every three light airplanes in the United States crashes each year —and that manufacturers were tak- | ing steps to remedy it. “Ninety per cent of these crackups involve a major overhaul or the re- placement of a major assembly,” said Jerome Lederer of New York. “Most of the manufacturers are studying this problem.” He said better designs, incorporat- ing spin-proof characteristics and tricycle landing gear, would help re- duce the accident rate. But, he added, “a so-called ‘safe’ airplane does not make a safe pilot.” John Henry Newman, 85, Dies in His Home John Henry Newman, 85, of 1719 Thirty-fifth street N.W., died yes- terday after a brief illness at his home. Funeral services will be held at 11 am. tomorrow at the Cham- bers’ funeral home, 1400 Chapin street N.W., with burial following in Glenwood Cemetery. A lifelong resident of Georgetown, Mr. Newman was active in church work until recently, and was the oldest charter member of West ‘Washington Baptist Church.

The British yes- terday reported that the fortress had been bombed from the air. ‘The same paper also asserted that the British have established a secret airbase somewhere north of Trond- heim, that their aircraft carriers are off the Norwegian coast and that they now are prepared to chal- lenge German supremacy in the air | —one of the biggest factors in Nazi successes in Norway to date. Penetrate Beyond Roros. Mechanized advance units of the flying Nazi column were said actu- ally to have penetrated several miles beyond Roros to the vicinity of Jensvoll yesterday, but the Ger- mans made no attempt to establish a position there. The Norwegians, retreating up the valley, impeded the German thrust by dynamiting bridges along the way. The head of the German column, according to Swedish correspondents, consisted of six tanks, eight armored cars and 25 motor cycles. The main Nazi force apparently was not large, and only small details were posted along the way to keep the lines of communication open. A steady stream of refugees from the Roros district was pouring across the Swedish frontier, about 25 miles away. Twenty ambulances passed the border at one point. Four hundred fugitives—including 300 Norwegian soldiers who were interned—crossed at another frontier station. Withdrawal Strategic. The Norwegian high command said the German advance up the parallel Gudsbrandsdalen Valley was supported by artillery and light tanks. The Norwegians described their withdrawal from Lillehammer under this pressure as a strategic maneuver.

The Norwegian telegraph agency said that German warplanes were unusuully active yesierday, bomo- ing and machine-gunning objectives in Western Norway. Andalsnes, a British debarkation point 100 miles southwest of Trond- heim, again was the object of at- tack. The telegraph agency said, however, that although numerous incendiary and high explosive bombs.were dropped, the only build- ing destroyed was a cowshed. Four Planes Raid Molde. Three wooden houses were set afire when four planes raided Molde at the mouth of the fjord leading to Andalsnes and two persons were believed. to have been trapped in the blazes. Several civilians were reported wounded at Alesund, southwes} of Molde, where a school used as a first-aid station ‘was fired by an incendiary bomb. The Norwegian government, mean- while, issued a provisional order stipulating that British and French money should be accepted as legal tender in Norway, There were reports here that two German steamers of 3,000 to 5,000 tons had been sunk in the northern part of narrow Oresund Strait, which separates Sweden and Den- mark. The vessels were reported to have gone down a little west of the passage, leaving the channel open. The cause of the sinkings was un- explained. McNary Wins ‘Nomination’ at W.-L. Convention By the Associated Press. LEXINGTON, Va., April 26— Senator McNary of Oregon, won the presidential “nomination” of the Washington and Lee mock Repub- lican convention yesterday on the 17th ballot. The “darkhorse” walked away with the nomination with 624 of a possible ~ 877 votes after many southern delegations in the minia- ture convention switched to the Senate minority leader. Senator Bridges of New Hamp- shire was chosen on the third ballot for Vice President. Westerner’s six - shooters and southerners’ yells resounded through the hall as the break in the three- day-long meeting came with the | shift of votes to Senator McNary. Washington and Lee students have been holding similar mock conven- tions each presidential election year, except once, since 1908. It has been the custom to hold the convention of the party out of power. There was one harmonious theme throughout the three days of nom- inating speeches, parliamentary maneuvering and back-stage polit- icking—"keep out of war.” The Pi Phi High School Frater- nity dance tonight at the Almas Temple will feature the Dutch Dancers of the Tulip Festival, from | g Holland, Mich., as guest entertain- | ers.

Star Staff Correspondent. WARM SPRINGS, Ga., April 26— Georgia’s “draft Roosevelt” move- ment, manifested in yesterday’s selection of a Democratic convention delegation committed to a third term for the President, drew no reaction from the Chief Executive today as he held a brief press conference just prior to making a long automobile trip through Pine Mountain Valley. Smiling broadly when asked how he felt about the State Committee’s action yesterday in Atlanta, Mr. Roosevelt said all he knew was what he had read in the papers, and there his comment ended. During his automobile jaunt, the President planned to inspect a rural resettlement project. Basil O'Con- nor, former law partner of the Presi- dent, and Miss Marguerite Le Hand, his personal secretary, were to ac- company him on the trip. Tanned from six consecutive days of Georgia sunshine and looking better than he has for many weeks, Mr. Roosevelt announced that he would leave here tomorrow after lunch, arriving in ‘Washington in midmorning on Sunday. He offered little in the way of news during a 15-minute chat with reporters, but said he was keeping in touch with the Capital daily by telephone, foreign developments pre- sumably drawing his closest atten- tion.
