Aimee's Birth in Reply
To Mothers Charges
BY International News Service

LOS ANGELES, Cal. July IL
A check on the birth record of
Aimee Semple Mcpherson at lnger-
sol, Canada, to determine definitely
whether she is the daughter OF Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy, was the answer 20
day of Mrs. MCPHERSON followers
at Angelus Temple to Mrs. Ken
nedy's newest charges against her
daughter.
Mrs. Mcpherson, previous to her
departure last night for Lake Tahoe,
where she intends to conduct evan
gelist services, said she knew the
inquiry was being made by her
followers. but did not think there
was any foundation for it.
Some of the members Of my con-
gregation have been circulating the
question as to whether or not Mrs.
Kennedy is really my mother. but
l stopped them" she declared.
Mrs. Kennedy. the committee has
been informed, was Minnie Pierce
and was married to James Kennedy
in Lindsay, Canada. She was sup
posed to have been 10 years of age
when Aimee was born, and Kennedy
was then sai6 to be SO years old.
Mrs. Mcpherson is 81 and was born
at Ingersol. Canada.
Mrs. Mcpherson said she was
going to spend two weeks and was
taking a "red bathing suit this
time" Afterwards; she said, she
will make a three months preach

Six Men Blown Away

MOSCOW, Russia, July 17.-With
six members of the Mobile expedi-
ton and six members of the Amund-
sen relief squad still missing, the
100 ,00O-ton Russian e-breakcr kras-
sin was on its way to Spitzbergen
today to refuel and to transfer TO
the Citta di Milano the seven MEM
bers OF the Mobile party that had
been rescued from the ice.
There are Is rescued men in all
aboard the Krassin, the other nine
being members of relief groups
that had been searching for the
lost explorers. All on board the
ice breaker were described as being
in good health and spirits save
Alfredo Mariana who is still suf-
fering from his frozen leg. AS re-
ported by wireless last Thursday,
the ships doctor fears gangrene
may develop
Fears the Expense
The Soviet relief committee met
this afternoon to decide whether
the kraasin should continue the
search for the Alessandri and
Amundsen parties.
The committee is inclined to
press the search until there Is
definite ground for abandoning all
hope, despite the limitations from
Premier Mussolini. OF Italy. and
Gen. Umberto Mobile that further
aid from the Soviets is not desired
evidently on account of the cost.
1t was indicated that there is an
nnwillingness to pay further ex-
penses for the work of the krassin.
Believe Men Alive
A radiogram from the Krassin
quoted f. Behounek one of the
Mobile survivors, as saying he saw
neither flames nor smoke when the
Italia's envelope was carried away
In a gale on May IS. He believes
there is a possibility that the six
men carried away with the gas bag
may still be alive.
General Mobile was quoted after
his rescue from the ice as saying
that he saw smoke and flames and
believed the envelope was on fire
when it disa ppeared over the hori.
