MOVES MADE
ON POLLUTION
Governor Acts with New York
-AppIeby Calls Attention
to the New Law

TRENTON, Aug. 5:-Protesting
that New Jersey beaches have been
strewn with refuse of all kinds in
the past few days, Frederic M. p.
Pearse, secretary to Governor Silzer,
has telegraphed to P. N. Olmsted.
superintendent of New York harbor,
formally registering the governors
inquiry as to the cause of the debris.
Littering of the beaches is harm
full and dangerous to bathers, Mr..
Pearse declared. He ventures the
opinion that proper inspection of
barges, carrying the refuse out to
sea, has not been made. He requests
Mr.. OlmSted to communicate with
Governor SilZer to make certain that
the barges are going the required
distance before emptying their re-
fuse cargoes.
Governor Silzer has been active
in the campaign to relieve the New
Jersey beaches of the refuse menace.
He has had the support of the New
Jersey State League of Municipali-
ties in this work.
Several months ago the New York
authorities informed the governor
that the municipal barges were COM
plying with regulations as to the
dumping of the scows.

MONEY CONDITIONS DELAY
PAYING NATIONAL DEBT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Money
market conditions are now having
the peculiar effect of delaying slight
ly the process of paying off the pub
lie debt of the United States.
Treasury statements of finance op-
erations today showed that last year
between July 1 and August 5, the
government spent s35,470,S00 in
paying off its outstanding debts to
the sinking fund. For the same
period this year no money was ex-
pended.

Bad Ice Conditions

ON BOARD SUPPLY SHIP GER.
TRUD RASK, Near Angmagsalik
Greenland, Aug. (By Wireless tc
the Associated Press):-Ice condi-
tions along the coast of Greenland
are worse than they have been in
many years and are so bad that the
American round-the-world f1iers
probably will have to refuel on the
North Atlantic on the edge of the
Ice field or land in the open water
near their supply ship, the Gertrud
Rask. or fly directly from Reykjavik
to Ivigtut, Greenland.
After encountering an ice field "a
miles wide along the east coast of
the Gertrud Rask stuck
fast in the heavy polar ice 15 miles
from shore and now is unable to
move or withdraw. Unless the ice
Is scattered by q westerly wind the
vessel probably will not be able to
free herself from the ice for several
weeks.

At 1925 o'clock, the fliers passed

flight.
1t was the best day since the
Raleigh arrived with the sun shin
ing brightly over the glaciers and
no trace of fog From the north
came a stiff breeze which 1t was fel,

gress of the planes but the reports
from the destroyers stationed along
the route indicated excellent visi-
bility with a generally calm sea.
AS on the day the planes arrived,
the entire population of the little
village gathered today to wave fare
we'll to the fiiers and the only hotel
in town was filled to overf1owing

TRIAL DATE FILED
F0R0|L LEASE SUIT
Elk Hills District Cases Will
Come Before Federal Court
in October.
PLEA FOR EARLY HEARING
Pomerene Declares Contracts Were
Prompted by Fraud and De-
feat Conservation.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Los ANGELES, July 22.-Federal
Judge Paul J. MacCormick here yes
terday set October 90 as the date for
the opening of the trial of the gov
ernments suit against the Pan
American Oil interests for cancel
lation of naval oil reserve leases in
the Elk Hills district.
The date set was later than the
date of September ,, suggested by
Atlee Pomerenee, special government
counsel, but also was earlier than
the time of trial asked by attorneys
for the defense.
In his vigorous plea for an early
trial Pomerene declared that it had
been the policy of the government to
preserve and conserve the naval oils,
but to conserve them in the ground
and that this policy had been
changed to exploitati ton.
Pomerene charged III his prelimi-
nary address that the contracts and
leases in the Elk Hills controversy
were made without legal authority
from the government and secondly,
he stated they were prompted by
fraud.
The defense counsel suggested the
trial date for the hearing of the case
in Los Angeles 20 be determined in the
NoVem Der session of the Federal
court at Fresno. He declared that
the civil action should be postponed
until after the completion of crimi-
nal action in District of Columbia
courts against Edward L. Doheny,
Edward L. Doheny, jr.. and Albert
B. Fall.
The attorney charged that the tes-
timony that his clients would be
forced to offer at the civil hearing
here would be used against them by
Pomerene in the criminal action in
the eastern courts. He character
lied it as stripping the mantle of
protection from the Dohenys and
Fall that the law afforded them"
