full support to the party's State
and national tickets.

AngmagsaIik Ice-bound Pilots
May Head for Cape

ON BOARD u. S. S. CRUISER
, RICHMOND OFF REYKJAVlK,
ICELAND, Aug. 12.-Lieutenant
Lowell Smith and Lieutenant Erik
Nelson, only two United States
army air pilots of the four which
started from Los Angeles upon
their world-girdling flight, had
virtually decided today upon the
desperate chance of attempting an
8OO-mile hop in the next stage of
! their journey homeward.
No Base In Greenland.
Hope of establishing a landing
base at Angmagsalik. Greenland,
the next charted stopping place on
the route, is dwindling, owing to
the heavy field Of ice lying off that
harbor and it probably will be
necessary for the airmen to elm
mate this port and continue on to
Cape Farewell
The planes have a capacity for
slightly more than 900 miles so it
can be seen the aviators will be
embarking upon a daring venture
If they attempt to reach Cape Fare
we'll, 500 miles away, without an
intermediate stop.
1t is suggested that the men
fly, II possible, to Julianehaab or
Fredericksdal. There is no base
at the latter place but one may
be established. Julianehaab is
ninety miles northwest of Cape
Farewell and appears to offer a
haven.
To Make Decision.
A definite decision as to whether
to attempt this long flight will be
made within forty-eight hours or
seventy.two hours at the very
latest.
A trawler filled with steam coal
has been sent out by Lieutenant
Cummins, of the American patrol
fleet, to fuel the Danish supply
ship Gertrud Rask, which was
caught In an ice floe and carried

break through the ice at Angmag.

After fueling the Rask will make
another effort to pierce the ice

Prosecutor viii Introduce
Medical Testimony To
Refute Defense Claims
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
international News Service.

CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO,
Aug. IA fresh attack, plenti-
fully peppered with sarcasm, on
the conclusions of DIR. H. S. Hull
bert that Nathan F. Leopold, jr1
and Richard A. Loeb were "men-
tally diseased" when they killed
young Bobby Franks, was launched
today by States Attorney Grove
as the twenty-first day Of the
Leopold-Loeb trial got under way
in Judge Caverly's court.
The States attorney seeking q
hanging verdict for the youthful
slayers, also prepared today to
combat expert testimony with sx-
pert testimony concerning the
glandular disorders that Hubert
has declared afflicts Leopold.
To Testify On Glands.
For this purpose, there was in
court today Doctor Rollin 7.
Woodyatt. an endrocrinologist,
who listened carefully to Doctor
Hulbert's gland theories. At the
proper time, it was said, Doctor
Woodyatt will be placed on the
stand to break down, il possible,
the Hubert theory that 1eopold's
connection with the Franks crime
was largely the result of disordered
glands.
Again today, as for hours yes

medical terms, and explain his
conclusions in the most minute de.

One Of the first definitions asked
by Grove was that OF "neuro-cir.

which the alienist said afflicted
Leopold. Doctor Hubert said 1t
consisted of a weakness of the
circulatory blood system. a weak.
ness IN the sympathetic nervous
system that controls the blood
vessels, causing profound exhau.

to her suggestion that the pres

Mrs. Weed was member Of

MARK URGES RADIOS
FOR LOCAL SHUT-INS
Broadcasts to Fans Plea for In
stalling Sets in Hospitals and
Charitable Institutions.

Washington radio fans were urged
by Leroy Mark. in a speech broadcast
last night from WCAP, to put their
heads together and devise some scheme
TO raise $34.000-the amount needed to
insure the installation of radio receiv-
ing apparatus, in every hospital, chari-
table institution and orphan asylum in
tne Nations Capital. Mr. Mark has
given the broadcast listeners two
weeks in which to work out the idea
meantime. he wants those financially
aDie TO continue to send in contribu-
tlons to the Washington hospital radio
fund.
The concert given at the American
League Ball Park Sunday afternoon,
september IA, by the combined Army.
navy and Marine Bands, raised a lit
tie more than $4,000 of the 100000
estimated as the cost of installing
radio sets in the institutions, Mr..
Mark told the radio audience. The
ball park gate receipts were sSO5. The
collection at the park amounted to
$999.09. Added to the money received
from the sale of tickets and voluntary
contributions, the total funds stands
at $6,247.76.
I'VE must have S34 900 more and we
are going to get it," said Mr.. Mark.
And remember there is no overhead.
We are striving to complete the won
derful work without any compensa-
tion other than the feeling that it is
a good work, well done"
Mr.. Mark thanked the band leaders
and the numerous others who con-
tributed their services to the rnassed
band concert.
