Amundsen, with nine fellow explor

his ship, Maud, to float across the

the Arctic.
The expedition, carrying a fuu

These messages will be weather re-

Beside the wireless equipment,
Amunden' party will alo carry two
airplanes, the first ever TO enter the

The planes, he said, will be used 10

John II. Bartlett, First Assistant
Postmaster General, today explained
his opposition to extension Of the
Ball rent act.
Mr.. Bartlett is part owner of the
International building on + between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets.
Justification for high rents, Bart.
let's statement declares, is to be
found in the fact that "the tenants
i'm my building are prosperous bust.
ness men and are making far more
money than i am"
The law which limits store rentals
will do the purchasing public no
good, Mr.. Bartlett's statement dc.
clares.
1T will be OF no benefit to them,
unless the law also limits the prices
which merchants may place upon
their goods. II prices are to be
limited on all goods sold in stores,
will cheerfully waive any objec.
ton I may have to the limitation on
the rent Of a store. But I believe
that rentals should be subject to
competition, the same way that
goods sold in stores are subject to
competition" He continues:

A COLUMN SONG.

For years the deuotees of
Heard and Seen haze urged a
column song. 1t is appropriate,
then, that The Times should
honor the demand Of the innum-
cradle fans, and so neat Sunday,
April g, ,0iu publish a song en-
titled "The Grand Old Column"
dedicated to Fl. and S.
The words of this delightful
song 4Usre Written by the late Joe
Conklin, a brilliant and consistent
contributor to this column, WhO
passed into the realm of higher
understanding feto months ago.
The song Uds one of the last, and
best, contributions from this gift
ed and lamented Writer.
The music Wds suggested by
Mrs. Isabel Haskins and turned
over to Paul Sch,oartz, director
of music at the Shubert-Beldsco
Theater, Who reWrote and ar
ranged it in such splendid, catchy
fashion, that 1t is bound to be a
Uorthy contribution to later day
popular music.
All Heard and Seen fans should
be sure TO get a copy Of Sundays
Times, in Which "The Grand Old
Column" appears.
Mrs. Haskins, Who has Written
so many bright things for this
column under the signature "Pen-
nuts" deserves the thanks Of the
fans for her great interest IN
suitable music for the song.

NO CONTAMINATI TION HERE.

"HOOSIER" fully approves our
reply to c. Fl. It's complaint that
we don't make the column naughty
enough: that we fail to print in 4
some Of the smart (often smutty,
tool things that are frequently
heard in advanced social sets.
"Hoosier" takes a hot fall out of
c. II. T. in rhyme. but as We let
c. II. T. know where to get off"
that ought to be enough. Our con-
trib makes this remark:
Whenever I hear Of an indi.
vidual, with a fostering mind, wish.
ing to contaminate every decent
thing he comes in contact with,
feel that boots are in order"

ASKED BY
COMPANY.
Washington Member of Com
mission Cites Figures to JUS
tify Concerns Claims.

The Washington Market Com
mission appointed by President
Harding has placed a valuation
Of $960,250 on the Center Mar
ket property. It's appraisal of the
worth of the buildings and struc-
lures in their entirety was filed
this morning in the District Court
Of Appeals.
Owners File Appeal.
An hour after the award had been
filed Alexander Wolf and Charles
A. Douglas, representing the Wash
tngton Market Company, which
owns the property, filed an appeal
to the commissions valuation of the
property.
The low award of the commission
has caused indignation from the
owners, it being thought the value
of the market would be fixed at not
less than $2,000,0O0.
Under an act Of Congress the
Department Of Agriculture today
takes over title to the market, pay
Ing rs per cent cash of the commits
sion's valuation, pending outcome of
an appeal.
hC biCillDCIS Vi Tie COIIlfIlSSlOn
appointed by the President include
Frank A. Horne, chairman, presi-
dent OF the Merchants Refrigeratipg
Company Of New York; John NJ.
Walker, Of Delaware, and Louis
Addison Dent, Washington lawyer.
Dent dfssented with his fellow
commissioners, saying he believed
the valuation should not be less
than $1,506, ,201 80. .
Contractors Figures Cited.
Dent said it should be apparent
to any one looking, over the prop
erty both as to size and appearance
that 1T was worth considerably more
than the appraisal placed on it by
his fellow commissioners.
He stated this in view OF the fact
that the following contractors had
appraised the property as follows:
Frank l.. Wagner, $1,908,153; Full.
Ter Construction Company, 81, ,92S,77V;
Essex Witty Company, Government
- assessors, $l,74S,54S.
The work of the commission GOV.
ers the full six months and the public
hearings covered a period of three
months.
Want Not Less than $1,000, 900.
Owners of the market properties
feel that the commissions valuation
is manifestly unfair, and they have
indicated that they will vigorously
fight for not less than $4,000 900.
Under the Congressional act which
gave President Harding authority to
appoint the commission and the De.
partment of Agriculture authority tC
take over the market, either party,
the Government or owners, have the
right Of an appeal within thirty days
after the commission files it's award.

If it was in the minds of the Russian

conditions as would warrant inI est

1t has been said repeatedly by Amer
lean officials Who have a hand in
guiding the policies of the govern
ment, that recognition of the Soviet
government by the United States and
other countries would not set afoot
the economic rehabilitation of Russia.
Secretary Hughes indicated this clear
ly when he informed the Genoa group

Russia's problems must come from
within Russia herself" Administers
fident that the American people would
never approve recognition of the So
Wet regime. and indicate their relief
that the assembled delegates at Genoa
should by now fully understand the
fixed nature of the American policy
of standing wholly aloof from any in
ternational arrangement that might
have the appearance of moving to
ward such recognition.
There seems to have arisen some
misunderstanding in European CAPT
tails, nevertheless, and the very point
ed reaffirmation of the American 20
sition here today undoubtedly was de

prehension in Genoa, or any feeling
that later conversations might induce
the United States to enter d discus
