CHAPLIN CASE NOT
 NEAR SETTLEMENT
Parties Unable to Reach Agree.
 mcnt Out of Court

Los Angeles. June 22.-LR-An- nouncing the definite failure of all efforts to settle the Chaplin divorce alimony suit out Of court. attorneys for Lita Grey Chaplin declared to- today that they were concentrating on preparations for the trial of the case.
 Peace negotiations were reported definitely under way two weeks ago. They have ended definitely. Lyndol Young and Edwin McMurray, Mrs. Chaplin's attorneys announced, be- cause neither they nor their client desire q settlement. no matter how large, at the price of perjury"
 The statement of the attorneys was made as the reply. they said, to an announcement to the press in New York city last night by Nathan Eurkan, personal representative of Charlie Chaplin. Burkan was quoted as saying that the film comedian would never settle with his wife uuIh olC soobCo O. pupiiC saying the charges in her divorce complaint regarding his moral con- duct during, their life together, were untrue. Chaplin would fight and fight" to remove the stain upon his children and himself.
 The McMurray- Young statement said:
 Lloyd Wright and Gavin McNab, Mir. Chaplin's attorneys of record. have for several weeks endeayored to bring about a settlement of their clients difficulties. They submitted definite proposal to Mrs. Chaplin, and We had indicated it would re- ceive very serious consideration. Both the attorneys gave assurance that 1t was authorized by MT. Chap lin. and number of conferences looking toward settlement were conducted.'

MINERS ASSERT
 POLICE BLOCKADE
Prevented From Getting Food,
 They Declare

Pittsburgh, Pa.. June g R- Leaders of the United Mine Work CTS today prepared to combat a flood blockade" they alleged police of the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation have established at Mol lonauer, a mining town. in an effort to oust union miners from houses owned by the company. Proceedings brought by the company to evict the miners are pending in state superior court with possibility that no de cision will be reached before next winter.
 Philip Murray, international vice president of the United Mine Work CTS, declared yesterday that the com Npany police have declared an en- oargo against all deliveries from Pittsburgh merchants and that miners at Mollenauer are forced to buy at Castle shannon. more than a mile away. Electric lights, he said, have been turned off, nocessitating the use of oil lamps and lanterns.
 Asked for statement. Horace F. Baker. president of the company. said it had been found against our interests to have everyone going on our property where there were both union and non-union miners. and therefore we laid down rules to ex- clude them."
 The Terminal Coal Corporation. which owns eight mines m the Pitts burgh district, for months has been seeking to. regain possession of its houses. With the suspension of op- eration in union bituminous mines April 1. the company announced it

would reopen it's mines non-union. It's Coverdale was reopencd April 2S.
 The legal fight over occupancy of the houses began April 20 when the company filed eviction proceedings against 10 union miners at Cover- dale. Spokesmon for the corporation at that time said the company would ,Gl fimilar proceedings against some
 union miners and their fam iEI who were occupying the corpor- ation's 1,200 houses. Subsequently such proceedings were filed against about 100 miners.
 With the filing of the first 10 suits. the union began it's fight to prevent eviction of the miners. As each new batch of eviction suits was filed. union counsel gained respite through some counter-court action.
 Eventually all of the ejectment proceedings were carried to the su- perior court by the union. The court will not convene until fall and de- cision may not be handed down for some time after the session begins.
 The terminal corporation. however still hopes to bring about q decision in the case before winter.

 This tribe. the Walsertal. has long been known to exist but was almost forgotten as no outsiders are allow cd to settle in its valley. and the people shun contact with the world. One person is chosen to do whatever business is necessary with civi,iza- tion and this contact" job descends in the family.
 The language of the tribe is q dialect unintelligible to German speaking Austrians. Outsiders they regard as 'beggars" and so describe them, because the only persons who ever venture into their region are those seeking something. if only in- formation about roads.

FLIGHT TO TEST RADIO ALSO
Will Flash Signals Ten Times a
 Minute a.

Washington, June 2e.-R-The prospective Atlantic flight by Com mander Richard E. Byrd is expected by scientists to furnish valuable in- formation on radio transmission as his plane, the America, is equipped with radio set designed to signal the call letters of the plane ten times each minute.
 When the radio is not in use for other purposes an automatic at tachment will keep repeating the call letters WTW. As the code for these letters is composed principal ly of dashes. detection of the signal should be easy.
 The National Geographic society said that this signal should enable ship radio operators to know eA- actly where to pick up on their dials the messages that would tell that the plane was safe. Should the sig nals cease abruptly without explana- tion it would be inferred that some- thing had happened and ships could start at cnce for the Americas To- cation.
 The set, designed by Malcolm P. Hanson and L. A. Hyland, of the Naval Research Laboratory at Washington. has a weight of 120 pounds including all equipment and the switches and telegraph instru- ments are enclosed in a gas and flame proof box to prevent pos sible spark isniting the planes gas supply.
 The set send only telegraphic sig nals but can receive either signals or spoken words, the ear receivers for the latter being equipped with specially designed soft rubber ear pieces inclosed in a helmet to drown out the noise of the plane. The send ing range of the set is between 250 and 750 miles in daytime and an estimated double range at night.
 In addition to the main set the America carries an emergency ap- paratus on the tail, the part of the plane that probably would remain afloat longest in event of a nlishap. This set is SO equipped that it can be used under. water which would enable 1t to operate if the tail of he plane were awash.

kaibab Deer Case
May Be Appealed

Unofficial reports are current IN
federal circles at Phoenix that both
the United States government and
that of the state Of Arizona are TAX
ing steps looking toward an appeal to
the United States supreme court from
the Kaibab forest decree recently en-
tered in the federal district court
there. Although it was impossible to
confirm the report from anybody dl-
rectly concerned in handling the case,
the nature of the information was
such that it was generally accepted as
correct.
Neither the state nor the forest
service, it is known, was satisfied with
the character Of the decree Arizona
officials regard it as an encroachment
on the sovereignty of state laws, and
the forest service feels that the prac-
teal effect of the decree is to tie its
hands.
In substance, the court held that Of
ficers and employees of the forest serv-
ice may kill as many deer as they
deem necessary to protect the Kaibab
national forest from overgrazing, and
that the earcasses of slain deer may
be transported to points without the
state for disposal, but that in all
other respects the state game laws
are supreme.
