been packed by debutantes. who for
various reasons are cutting of their

These marriageable daughters will

NEW YORK, August 22.-Anthony

because they "squealed," and clashes

Air Shield Blocks
Radio From, Mars,
Experts Declare

A heavy atmospheric shield en-
casing the earth and through
which radio signals cannot pene-
trate would prevent radio COM
munication with Mars If it were
otherwise possible, in the opinion
of scientists at tie Bureau of
Standards.
The shield. according to J. n.
Dellinger. chief of the radio labora-
tories of the bureau. is an ionized
zone. which has the effect of a
heavy copper ball completely en-
casing the earth and atmosphere
for miles around. The principle,
he explained, is much the same as
that of the metal shield placed
about receiving sets to prevent the
inductive capacity of the human
body from interfering with the
sensitive instruments and their ad-
justments.
DIR. Dellinger made it plain, how
ever, that the bureaus theories
have in no way been conclusively
proven and he expressed the
opinion that scientists everywhere
should make the most of tonight's
opportunity to study Mars in every
possible way.

BY the Associated Press.


PEkING, August 22.-The Russian
Ambassador to China, L. NJ. Karak-
han, has refused to comply with the
request of X. Yoshizawa, Japanese
Minister to .Peking. that the Russian
note dealing with the return of the
Russian legation here be redrafted
by Karakhan. The note. which was
in reply to one sent by the diplomatic
corps here. still was in Yoshizawa's
hands today.
The attitude of Ambassador Karak-
han was described as one in which
he is unwilling to modify the Russian
note to the extent OF placating Yos-
hizawa. The basis of the refusal
of Minister Yoshizawa, as acting
senior member of the diplomatic
corps, to circulate the Russian reply
among members of the corps was that
it contained irrelevant matter and
personal illusions.

DELAY IN NEXT HOP

Navy's First Word Says Ital-

The first word to be received by the
Navy from any of its ships along the
route of the world flight in the North

tor, Lieut.. Locatelli.

via London.

mo news of Locatelli." said the
dispatch. Thick fog after leaving
the last station ship 217 miles off
Cape Farewell. To await better
weather"
The message seemed to indicate
that the American flyers might have
decided to delay for the present their
next hop across the lower tip of
Greenland to Ivigtut.
1t appeared to have originated on
some ship other than the Richmond
and to have simply been forwarded by
her. The full text follows:
Wants Envoy Informed.
Deliver following air attache, Ital-
ian embassy, Washington:
"'No news from Locatelli.'
Encountered thick weather after
leaving last station ship 217 miles
from Cape Farewell. To wait clear
weather.
Raleigh and Barry searching now,
Richmond proceeding to join search.
'Hampered by unpleasant thick
weather. Four planes from Rich
mond and Raleigh will assist when
visibility permits. Admiral lending
every possible assistance. Fog con-
tinues, sea rough"
After studying the dispatch, Navy
officers were uncertain whether the
reference to wait referred to the
American flyers or was simply an
elaboration on the report of difficulties
encountered in the search for Lo-
catelli.
Service officials broke their vigil with
expressions of gratitude and relief as
details Of the feat of the flyers began
to come in piecemeal in news dis
patches.
IT was no secret that the long flight
through the ice-dotted Northern At
lantic had been a. source of much
anxiety here, and the long delay in
receiving direct and circumstantial
confirmation of the safe arrival had
sharpened the feeling OF suspense
IN the group of Air Service officers
in charge of the flight.
Last Hazard Passed
With the s25 mile stretch of water
between Iceland and Greenland behind
them the belief here is that the avi-
ators have passed their last really great
hazard. Counting on an even break
from now on, it is felt they can regard

an accomplished fact.
