London, Jan. 20.-P-ffench global
tonnage proposals were put at the
head Of the naval conference agenda
today. but italian contemporaries
also win be given their day in court
at the next open session Of the full
conference, called for Thursday morn
Ing at 10 o'clock.
Again invoking the alphabet, the
big five at q meeting in st. James's
palace today decided to call the roll
Of nations at Thursdays session. thus
giving France the right Of way over
her italian neighbor.
France will present her proposal to
limit fleets as q whole and not in sep
arate categories, Great Britain will re-
iterate briefly her preference for cate
CORY regulation, and Italy will then
make her plea that the actual rela-
tivity Of fleets should be decided be-
fore all else.
The United States and Japan have
nothing to propose In this genera
phase Of the discussions. A committee
Cf two from each delegation will b
appointed when the three addresses
are finished Thursday to study the
situation, but It Is fully expected the
arrangement made by the big five will
be approved eventually.
Decision for an open session Thurs
day was reached on q motion intro
duced by Henry L. Stimson, the Amer
lean secretary Of state. Some opposi-
ton had been expressed, but Secretary
StinSon insisted as many newspaper
men as possible be admitted.

journed. Dino Grand. Italian foreign

Opposition to Prohibition Def
mite Handicap to Appoint-
ment Seekers

Washington, Jan. 2o.-R-Habitual
drinkers and those definitely opposed
to prohibition on principle are con-
sidered unsuitable by the Hoover ad-
m~inistration for federal offices d.
rectly connected with the prosecution
Of violators of the dry statutes. 9
In addition, the personal views and
practices Of applicants for appoint.
ment or reappointment as United
States attorneys and marshals are be.
ing thoroughly investigated before

raent.
This was revealed by Attorney Gen.

house expenditures committee, which
Is considering the Williamson bill to
consolidate the governments enforce
ment and prosecuting agencies In the
department Of justice.
Write Views To Friend
The letter, written to q friend Of

was withheld, dealt only with attor-
neys and marshals, although 1t Is as
sumed Mitchell will follow the same

forcement unit when that agency is
transferred to his jurisdiction.
II have not made any hard and
fast rule or the subject" the attor-
ney general wrote, land there are

drinking intoxicating liquor, or who
has definite or pronounced Views a
lopposttion,Sto prohibition, belongs,
during this administration In any
post having directly to do with the
prosecution OF cases under tho ma
tional prohibition act.
II have not made any blare Of
trumpets about this matter. but I am
not at all reluctant to have It known
among those In the service Of this de-
partment that the habitual use Of
liquor and opposition to prohibition
are very definite handicaps> to APP
pcintment or reappointment in this
service"
To Obtain Information
The inquiries about the habits Of
candidates a. to the use Of liquor
and their views on prohibition" he
said. are being conducted at his own
direction.
MY purpose" he continued, us to
obtain Ill information available about
any candidate which bears on his
qualifications for the post and his

With the receipt Of Mitchell's let
ter, the expenditures committee con-
Guided its open hearings on the trans

planned. beginning today. and II was
expected that the measure would be

Teller, Alaska, Jan. 28.-tR-The
far north today awaited reports from
the searching party near North Cape,
Siberia, which has been digging into
the ice and snow about the wrockaee
Of Carl Ben Eielson's airplane expsct-
ing to find the body Of the noted
Arctic aviator and his companion,
Earl Borlald.
Meanwhile, two other flyers who for
weeks have been awaiting m oppor-
tunity to Join In the hunt Tor the
long missing birdmen were ct last on
their way to North Cape. The two.
Pat Reid and Ed Young. Canadian
pilots. took their two powerful planes
into the air here yesterday for Z 100
mile flight to the Siberian coast
where the Eielson-Borland plane vas
found.
Alfred Lomen. director Of the
search for Eielson and Borlaud, after
receiving q report Of the discovery Of
the wrecked plane, expressed the
opinion the bodies Of Eielson and
Borland would be found there.
Four Are Searching
The searching party, composed of
four men, was taken to the scene
Sunday by Joe Crosson and Harold
Gillian. American flyers who located
the wreck Saturday. Since Cruneon
and Gillian operated from the fur
trading ship Nanuk. frozen In the Ice
near North Cape. reports from the
searching party were expected from
that source.
Reid and Young, who came here in
the hope Of flying to Siberia and
finding Eielson and Borland alive.

scene until everything is cleared up."
They also will transport valuable furs
and possibly some of the passengers
Of the Nanuk to the Alaskan msin-
land and will make other trips to re-
turn gasoline borrowed from Russian
sources by American flyers In order
to continue their search for the lost
aviators.
Hunt eliminated Saturday
Eielson and Borland were flying to
the Nanuk, soon after the ship was
frozen in, to take furs and passengers
back to Alaska when they disappear

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 28.-R-
Probable death Of Carl Ben Cielson,
the flyer. is Viewed by vilhjanur
stefansson, arctic explorer. q signal
ling the need Of divorcing science
from international politics. DR.. stef-
ansson Is here on q lecture tour.
Lack OF weather reports available
In Russia and Siberia but not avail
able to Eielson because Of the broken
relations between the United States
and the soviet governments forced
Eielson and other Alaskan pilots ia
fly blind" Stefansson said.
These reports have been made
available during the Eielson rescue
hunt by special order Of the Russian
government and 'some way should be
found to continue this interchange
Of scientific data because aviation l.
the lifeblood Of Alaska" Stefanssou
said.
Appeals For Humaneness
Assuming there are good reasons
for not recognizing the political and
economic systems Of the soviets,
could not humanity and science be
divorced from politics and big bust
ness?" the arctic explorer asked.
President Hoover dealt with the
soviets himself as q Red Cross official
when Russian lives were at stake In
the famine" the statement continued
Gould not the weather bureau do the
same sort Of thing when American
lives arc at stake. For flying Is fast
becoming he life blood Of Alaska and
will not stop through Eielson's deatl
any more than he would have wanted
1t to. !.
why not find some. way for tn.
willing servants Of the Russian
weather bureau to save Alaskan lives
by q steady stream Of weather report,
which they car SO easily supply tc
the United States weather bureau
and will no doubt continue to supply
gladly, If asked.
Flew Without Forecasts
1.-THE death of Eielson is, in one
way Of looking at 1t, the tragic result
Of political difficulties. He had to fly
without the benefit Of weather reports
which he could not get for the Alaska
weather comes from Siberia and the
United States weather bureau was not
receiving any reports from there at
the time.
$50 he had to fly and met half way
to his destination q snow storm and
gale the coming Of which the soviet
weather bureau stations could have
reported to him.
"Eielson," continued stefansson,
who was the flyers close friend, has
nothing 80 much at heart rs the
progress Of northern aviation and
nothing could have gratified him
more than to know that part of the
result Of Secretary Wilbur's and SEN
ator Borahs appeal to the soviet gov
eminent for aid in search Of him has
been that about two months after he
needed 1t the state at Wrangel island

In the Stock Market
nv Thomson b McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-There has
been so much comment on the sub
ject of frozen security loans since
the recent break in the stock market
that it Is refreshing and at the same
time most encouraging to receive
authentic denial of such condition
from one of our largest banking
institutions. Apparently the current
advance in the stock market has
been aided rather than hindered by
the more influential of the banking
element. The small advance in
brokers loans during the past two
weeks, during which time values
continued to gain ground. tends to
confirm the theory that stocks have
been taken for investment purposes
and have passed from weak to
strong hands. Taken all in all. our
business recovery has. been rapid, so
much so, that foreign financial CEN
tiers express amazement at the prog
resS we have made, and We appear
TO be rapidly on the way to state
Of prosperity such as existed prior
70 last October. The action of the
motor stocks is most encouraging
and We regard this as a discounting
process in anticipation of good
spring business. We can not see
anything to suggest modification
of our favorable views toward the
market. We must, Of course, antici-
pate occasional technical reactions,
and these. We feel, should be used
10 accumulate the better class of
stocks.
