The automobile industries in Germany
decided not to compete with foreign
cars at Leipzig. preferring to hold
their own exhibition at Berlin.
Most of the American types of cars
are represented. General Motors and
Ford exhibiting full lines of vehicles
of every description. Goodyear tires
and rubber goods also are con-
spicuous. Several large exhibition
halls contain special exhibits, one of
them sporting goods.
A principal center Of attraction is
an exhibition of Soviet raw products,
pre-eminent among them a remarkable

Among the other new features are a

tobacco monopoly and an exhibit OF
Greek manufactures. The latter dis
play was organized by the Greek

RAILROAD TEST CASE
IS DECIDED FOR U. S.
Government Wins Fight Against
Claims Of Short Lines Under
Wartime Control.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Government won today
in test case in the Supreme Court
to determine it's liability for compensa
ton of short.line railroads, as a result
of wartime control Of railroads.
The Marion and Rye Valley Rail
way, a West Virginia short line. made
the fight for compensation. In the
Court of Claims the Government won
in it's contention that the blanket proc
lamation of President Wilson, by
which all railroads were placed under
Federal control did not obligate the
Government to pay any compensation
to the 400-odd short line railroads
which were permitted TO operate with
out Government interference.
The Governments liability turned
on the point whether the President
proclamation constituted an actual
taking. and If so to what extent the
taking had obligated the Government
to compensate. A board of referees
appointed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission awarded the short lines
compensation. but the director of rail
roads refused to accept the board s
findings as a basis for settlement.

The inspiration of the expedition,
according to DR.. William NJ. Mann,
superintendent of the Zoo, who will
lead the party. is the lack of either
giraffes or rhinoceri here. From that
point the plans have expanded so
that they not only include the col

but have given the expedition a broad
scientific scope. DIR. Mann is a natu-
ralist and collector with field expert

BYRD PLANS ANNOUNCED.
Only Veterans Of Long Service to Be

The Byrd expeditions dash by air
for the North Pole will get under way
from New York late this month, with
It's leader. Lieut.. Comdr Richard E.
Byrd, expecting to land his plane at
the pole and be back in this country
before Summer ends.
With his ship and airplane crews
selected largely from volunteers from
commissioned and enlisted men Of the
Naval Reserve, Comdr. Byrd will de-
pend on a threeengined Fokker plane
to carry him over the icy wastes at
the top Of the earth. The Shipping
Board steamer Chantier will be used
by the expedition. which Is being
financed by John D. Rockefeller, jr.;
Thomas F. Ryan, Edsel Ford and
Vincent Aston.

MILAN Arctic expedition, BYRD plans
to base at Kings Bay. Spitzenberg.
In the event that ice prevents the
ship from reaching Kings Bay, the
flight for the pole will begin at some
southerly point.
Plane of Special Type.
Cape Morris Jessup, at the extreme
northern tip of Greenland and 400
miles from Kings Bay. will be the first
stop of the plane. A return trip to
bring supplies will he made before
undertaking the second 400-mile lap
straight for the pole. Although the
plane has q ,200-mile cruising radius,
Comdr. Byrd feels that the dangers
of the trip will be minimized by cut
ting the fight into two short hops.
In addition, the craft is able to re-
main in the air with any of it's three
engines out Of action.
On most of the flights Comdr. Byrd
will be accompanied only by Floyd
Bennett. chief petty officer in the
Naval Air Service. and who flew with
him while with the Macmillan expe-
dition. George f. Pond and Frederick
H. Becker naval reserve lieutenants
with much flying experience, are be-
ing considered for the third pilot seat
in the plane.
Fuel and engine problems to be en-
countered in the low temperatures of
the north will be handled by G. o.
Neville of the Vacuum Oil Company,
while an "ice skipper" and a sledge
work expert will be added to the eX-
petition from civil life. The remain
der of the Chantier's personnel will
come from the reserve list of the
Navy, men Of from Is to 20 years
experience being selected.
To Carry Second Plane.
A second airplane to be in readiness
in case of mishap to the Fokker will be
packed aboard the Chantier, along with
the most modern navigating and scien-
tific observation equipment. Gasoline
sufficient for 10000 miles of air flying
and food for six months will be taken.
A special low wave length radio set
will keep the plane and ship in commu
nication, and a high wave-length out
fit aboard the Chantier will keep the
expedition in touch with the world.
Comdr. Byrd believes that the sue
cess of the Polar exploration by air
plane depends on avoidance by land
ings on the ice or water. He does not
expect to come down except on land,
