tiers circular adds, the possible oppor-
tunity of serving as member Of the
State team should further stimulate
interest. Such competitions have the
further benefit of creating an active
interest in rife craftsmanship through
out the State, which will result in bet
ter shots, and make the selection of
team a less difficult problem.
1t was further pointed out that each
State has in its possession one national
trophy to be awarded annually to the
company or similar unit in the State
attaining the highest figure of merit
in its record practice with the rifle.
The minimum requirements are that
80 per cent of the maintenance strength
be qualified before a unit can be con-
sidered in competition for this trophy.
The headquarters points out IN this
connection that competition for this
trophy will invariably stimulate morale
and interest in rife Workmanship and
this award should not be overlooked.

ITALIAN RENTS RAISED
Increases Come After Lifting of 49,
Year-Old Law.

MILAN, italy N9.-After IS Iaw-reg-
ulated years during which landlords
were forbidden to raise rents beyond a
maximum fixed by the government,
Italy has passed into a free period and
the rent of apartments and houses have
gone up.
Enrico Parish, president of the Fascist
Home-building Federation, reported to
MusSolini that the change was made
without complaint by tenants, although
the increases have ranged around 10
or IL per cent.
Perhaps the increases might have
been higher were there not so many
vacant apartments. Here there are
5,766; at Turin, 6,241; at Rome, 5,076;
at Genoa, 3,279, and at Naples, 20a1.

it was said at Providence Hospital

Both victims were closely asSo-

Of the health service have been

effort to isolate the germ or
organism that is the. underlying
cause of the disease.

AY1aelOn Editor
NEW YORK, March 8.-The
six weeks search for Carl Ben
Eielson in the waste lands of
Alaska and Siberia that came to
such o tragic end recently with
the finding of the missing pilots
body was featured by many in
stances Of daring and pathos on
the part Vt the searchers.
Major H. c.. Deckard Of the
Fairchild Airplane Manufacturing
Corporation, who headed the res
cue party, brought back many
stories of bis experience when he
returned 20 New York.
One of the most interesting Of
his tales is the story Of Harold
Gillam's part in the search. Gil.
lam was the pilot who, with Joe
Crosson, discovered the wreck Of
EielSon's plane on the bleak 81.
berian coast.
Gillian, Fairbanks youth,
learned TO fly in Alaska under the
guidance Of Eielson and the two
became fast friends.
W44Cl G1C1OO14 Wdo AOOt dLLN VIC
search was held back by bad
weather, Gillian went to Charles
L. Thompson, in charge Of the op-
erationS of Alaskan Airways, Inc,
IN the absence Of Eielson.
IT want to join the search for
Ben, Gillian told Thompson, "give
me a plane" Gillian had had only.
about 200 hours of solo flying,
mostly in little plane Of his own,
unsuited for the search.
'But, Harold" Thompson told
him, you haven't had enough
time. I can't send you out on a
search like that. You've had no
cross-country experience, and be-
neve me you would need it to look
for Ben"
Nevertheless" Gillian replied,
"just give me q plane. I want to
look for Ben and I'm going to one
way or another. Give me a plane"
Pilots are scarce in Alaska.
There are only a handful, and
pilots were NEEDED in the search.
Finally Thompson gave in as Gill
lam pressed his case and insisted
on being permitted to go. He was
given an open cockpit biplane, and
departed for Teller, the jumping
off place for Siberia.
At Teller he and the others Of
the small group Of pilots were held
to the ground by one Of the most
severe sieges Of weather Alaska
has ever known. AS the days
dragged by with no sign Of letup.
and disbursement came to the
little group, Gillian kept UP the
spirits Of the camp with his good
humor and clowning. He bolstered
the morale.
Then there was a little break
in the weather and the veteran
CroSson and the youngster Gillian
hoped off for North Cape, ST.
IBERIA, where lay the ice-bound
fur ship Nanuk, which EielSon
was trying to reach when lost.
Halfway to North Cape they en-
countered fog and became sep
arated. Gillian drove through
and reached North Cape day
ahead Of CroSson who landed to
await a clearing of the fog.
Meanwhile at North Cape, Gillian
made the first search by air over
the region in which EielSon was
believed to have come down.
With the arrival of CroSson the
search by plane broadened and
eight flights we're made as
weather permitted, and on the
eighth, the wreck Of the Eielson
plane was discovered.
Needless to say, Gillian has
been made a regular member Of
the little group Of Alaskan. Air
way pilots.

JAPANESE HEAR
PARLEY BY BIC
RADIO BEAM
BY ROBERT s. THoRNBURGH

ny International News Service
Virtually perfect reception Of
addresses at the London Naval
Conference, broadcast by radio,
has been reported from Japan.
BY means Of beam radio sta
ton at Dorchester, England, the
progress Of the conference is
being broadcast direct to Tokyo
with satisfactory results, accord
ing to dispatches to the Com
merce Department from its Lon.
don office.
This transmission followed the
great circle route, which traverses
Great Britain, the North Sea be.
tween Scotland and Norway, the
Scandinavian Peninsula. part Of
the Arctic Ocean, Siberia, Man
churia, and the Sea Of Japan"
said the official report. "It Is
an exceptionally difficult route,
lying partly within the Arctic Cir.
Gle and with almost the maximum
time difference between the two
ends"
MarcOni's View
Marconi engineers consider very
large beam aerialS are necessary
for long distance radio telephony,
even more so than in the case
Of telegraphy. The greater the
area Of the aerial, the greater is
the concentration obtained. There
appears to be now no technical
obstacle to telegraphic commlni-
cation between any two points on
the earth'S surface, however far
apart.
American radio listeners soon
may add another foreign station
to their list-that of XIBC at
Reynosa, Mexico. According to
reports to the Commerce Depart
ment this will be the largest
broadcasting station in Mexico.
Studios will be maintained in six
cities Of the Rio Grande Valley.
The station will have 500 watts
power. Announcements win be
made in English and Spanish as
the programs will be designed for
audiences in the United States as
well as Latin America.
Gen. Charles Mckinley Saltz-
man, the new chairman Of the
Federal Radio Commission, is not
a believer IN much publicity as to
the operations Of that body.
SaltZman, once chief signal officer
of the Army. was reared in an
atmosphere of military secrecy
and, Of course, comes by this
trait Of silence naturally. Most
members of the commission take
an opposite view, feeling the pub
lie is entitled to knowledge Of
what the commission is doing and
its decisions.
