Miss Wills Denies
Being Involved in
Suit Over Shade
Says She Never Saw Sum-
mons i'm Berlin or Paris
to Appear Before Court

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 11-With a gesture
of unconcern, Helen Wills today de-
MED that she was involved in a suit for
a patent infringement in Germany CEN
tering about special kind of eyeshade
I've heard nothing about it," she
said land it seems to me that If there
were any really legal action / would
be at least an interested party. I never
saw summons in Berlin, Paris or here
believe this is just another OF those
things people like to cook up"
Miss Wills added that she had never
invented an eyeshade and that none
had been given her name with her con-
sent. She threw her hands in the air
and looked very panied at a suggestion
that she was responsible for an eye
shade with hair net attached.
I'D never do anything like that,
she exclaimed. THAT would be an I'M
possible combination. I am sure there
is no new invention for an eyeshade
They've been wearing them at least SO
years."
BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 11.-Helen Wills, Am
erica'S tennis queen, has escaped what
might have been a tedious court action
simply by throwing her summons in the
waste basket.
During her visit here Cologne man
ufacturer named Bruch brought suit for
patent infringement against Miss
Wills in connection with a combined
hair net and eye Shade, which the ten
mis- stars representatives are said to
have claimed she invented.
The summons to appear in court was
received with several hundred other
letters, principally from admirers. Miss
Wills, pressed for time, threw them all,
without being opened, in the waste bas-
ket. leaving for London before court
officials sought her by telephone.
A statement in reply to the suit will
be sought from her there.

STUDY KELLOGG TREATY.

TOXIC, June IL Up).-The Kellogg
anti-war treaty, for which the premier
requested imperial sanction yesterday,
has been referred to the privy council
for elaboration and study.
It was still a moot point today
whether the council would agree to
ratification without reservation or at
least an interpretative addendum re-
garding the phrase, "in the name of
the people" The conservative Japa-
nese contend this conflicts with pre-
negatives of the Emperor under the
terms of the constitution.

Swedish Plane Also to Be Fitted With
Wheels for Land Tour.

NEW YORK, June II R),-The
Statue of Liberty in New York harbor
has been designated as the official goal
of the monoplane Sverige in which
three Swedish flyers are attempting a
fight from Stockholm.
This was decided upon at confer
ence between Police Commissioner
Whalen, acting as chairman of the
mayors reception committee, and Olof
H. Lamm, Swedish consul general in
New York. 1t is planned to take the
flyers off on the municipal tug. Macon.
from which they will be landed at the
Battery. From there, they will pro-
coed to City Hall to be received by

GREENLAND LACKS

Base at Ivigtut Prepared for
Ahrenberg Flight by
Special Staff.

In Charge of Ivigtut Base of Khrenberg
Expedition.
BY Radio to The Star and the New York
Times.
IVIGTUT, Greenland, June 1.-THE
Swedish Atlantic flyers are the first avi-
ators to make a commercial trans
atlantic flight. The only logical route
for such service is by way of Iceland
and Greenland, because, if planes are
to carry mail or freight they need
bases at least within 800 miles of each
other.
Iceland already has a good base for
seaplanes at Reykjavik, created by the
German LufthanSa and the Iceland Air
Mail Corporation. For the last two
years the Lufthansa has had two planes
at Reykjavik for air mail service.
Must Haul in Everything.
Greenland, however, is quite another
question. Here one is still beyond the
tr1ngeS of civilization. Here there are
no bases, and everything must be trans
ported, from airplane motors to matches,
before anything can be started.
l was asked by Capt. Ahrenberg to
take care OF the preparations at the
Greenland base at Ivigtut, which was
used by the American world flyers in
1924 as a base; and so, with wilhelm
Petersen, Danish Royal Air Service
pilot. 1 left Copenhagen May II for
Greenland. where have spent much
of my life.
Ivigtut, situated on the west coast.
Is Greenland's greatest mining town,
Here Is the only cryolith mine in the
world, and the greater part of the prod
uct OF the mine is shipped every year
to a salt manufacturing company in
Philadelphia.
I arrived here by steamer after a
stormy voyage through pack ice that
drifted up from the Greenland east
coast, and have been very busy making
everything ready for the flyers.
Arctic Cyclones in Path.
There is no experience by which we
can appraise this flight The plane
may be forced down by ice forming on
the wings, and the flyers may encounter
terrible Arctic cyclones. The inland ice
Is the home of the storms, and it is i'm
possible to forecast what will happen.
Navigation over this icy wonder of ma
ture is struggle, with instruments only
and no landmarks for guides.
At the head of Arsukejord, near
Isblink. on the top of high mountain,
have made preparations for huge bon
fires, which will throw up a thick black
smoke as guide to the aviatorS when
they are flying across the inland ice.
This smoke should be visible for a dis
lance of $50 to 200 kilometers. At
Ivigtut found suitable hangar in
which the plane can be protected from
the weather.
