BYRD BARK SPEEDS
TO LITTLE AMERICA
City OF New York Is Due at
Camp Wednesday if
Weather Holds.
BY RUSSELL OWEN.

BY Radio TO The Star and New York Times.
LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, Feb
ruary s-The City Of New York is
headed for Little America now with
wind on the quarter and making
good speed.
With good weather she should reach
here Wednesday. They are having
fair weather at present, although an
occasional snow furry obscures the
view.
Haven't seen any ice for a long time
except some mush," they say, although
late yesterday they apparently ran
through some new mush ice which
caused them some anxiety as it would
cause trouble If it froze.
The report to Admiral Byrd said that
while they were lying in the lee Of the
pack the wind blew 100 miles an hour.
The ship was hove to with engine full
speed ahead so as not to come out
with the north end Of the ice pack
again." They said jokingly, with en-
CINE stopped, they made more than six
knots astern under bare poles, and then

ton tonight is about II south.
In the meantime, every one here is
packing as fast as they can and the
whole camp is turned upside down as
men get out the things which must 60
and other valuable
gear-and in between try hectically to
pack their own things.
There probably will not be much time
to load If the weather stays bad, so
everything is being prepared so that the
most valuable things may be sure of
getting on board with the other ma
terials which it would be well to re-
turn in deferred class. The souther-
ly blizzard died down last night, but 1t
Is now blowing from the east.

Washington, March 20 CP-Income tax receipts from the March 15 col lectons shown by the treasury today totalled $314,20o,55S. exceeding by more than $4o,OO0,oQ0 collections for the same date last year.
 This sum was the total for the month of March as shown in the treasury statement for March IS, made public today.
 It represented the total amount turned in at the close of business of the preceding day.
 Although yesterdays statement showed receipts running about sl0,- 00O.000 behind those for the same period in the preceding year the re- ccipt of $214.534.54S added 10 the treasury balance on March s more than offeset this shortage. Tho col lection on the same day in 1929 amounted to only about $161, ,000,o GOO.
 Receipts so far accounted for to- talod very near three-fifths of the budget expectations for the first quarterly income tax collection.
 Treasury officials, however, still held that this was no definite indi- cation that the expectation would be met.

 The British prime minister, who is now beset by numerous vital prob lens in connection with the confer ence, was relieved to a great extent from domestic political worries by announcement of the liberals that they would not press amendments to the coal bill while the present con- ference crisis was on.
 David Lloyd George, the liberal leader, in announcing the position of his party said he understood that the fate of the conference was hanging in the balance and that it was "a question of life or death"

Explains How to Use
 First Aid Bandages

Dr. Ota C. Loud demonstrated the use of bandages as a part of first aid at the meeting of the Mothers club of the Trinity M. E. church last evening.
 According to the doctor, first aid should aim to prevent infection. She advised mothers to have bad wrist and ankle sprains X-rayed to disclose any possible fracture and prevent infection. The natural re- action in the case of dog bite, Dr. Loud said, is to shoot the dog and have it examined for rabies after ward. She explained that in such circumstances, decomposition sets in and the analysis is not as cer- tain as it would be if the dog were sent to the authorities alive.
 Her talk was followed by a ques- tions and a general discussion.
 The following committee was ap- pointed by President Mrs. Willis Marsh to nominate officers for the coming year: Mrs. H. C. Barlow, Mrs. Arthur Mahan and Mrs. Will liam Buechner.

GYPSY MOTH AREA
 FOUND IN MER|DEN
West Peak Insects May Be Blown
 Miles in Heavy Wind

New Haven, March 20 P-With all it's troubles over European corn borer and Japanese beetles, the Con- necucut Agricultural experiment station has more worries ahead be- cause scouts have discovered a bad infestation of the gypsy moth in the state park on west peak near Meri- den.
 we haven't finished scouting and we don't know how many acres the infestation covers,' said John T. Ashworth. station deputy in charge of the work today. The condition is serious because of the location. Fror1 that height moths can be blown many miles and infest a country side. A southeast wind would drive the insect even over to Portland and Glastonbury"
 Newly matched caterpillars have aerostatic hairs on their bodies and have been carried more than 20 miles when wind and weather were favorable. The wind is the greatest factor in spreading the pest which in 1928 defoliated large areas in Massachusetts. New Hampshire and Maine. It attacks nearly all green leaves but in New England the dam age has occurred mostly on trees. Two crews of five men each are searching the Meriden timber for egg clusters which arc killed by appli- cation of creosote. Three crews are at work at Simsbury, Harrington and East Hartford.
 Two infestations have been found in West Simsbury. Control of gypsy moth involves rigorous measures 12 months in the year.
 In winter crews creosote egg clus- ters; in the spring they spray infest- ed trees and in the summer and fall they scout for infestations.
 The work has been carried on by the station in infected areas in north and eastern Connecticut.

Conference Held

London, March 20 LP) - Naval conference circles today wondered just what significance to attach to an obviously impromptu meeting of Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald and the French foreign minister, Aristide Briand, at the Hotel Carl ton last evening.
 At the conclusion of the confer ence, NJ. Briand said:
 I've have been talking about means to bring the conference to a successful conclusion and we are going to apply those means as quickly as possible
 There were those, who heard M. Briand's word, who imputed to them a prospective solution of the Franco Italian naval ratio problem, one of three or so major problems which may bring disruption of the conference activities. Others re- calling that the French idea of what would constitute conference success has always been at variance with that of the United States and Great Britain were dubious.
 The meeting between the two statesmen apparently had little pre- arrangement. Mir. Macdonald, ac- companied by his daughter, Miss Ishbel, appeared suddenly at the Hotel Carlton, where M. Briand puts up, in evening clothes. Mir. Macdonald was heard to ask Miss Ishbel to wait until he returned. Waits Two Hours and Half She waited, for two hours and a half, before her father emerged smiling into the lobby again. It was understood that calling upon M. Briand for a few minutes he had stayed to take dinner in the French mans room, while his daughter amused herself below.
 Rene Massigli, expert of the French delegation, and Robert l.. | Craigie, of the British delegation, both were present during the con- | ference.
 It was understood the visit of Macdonald to Briand was the result of notification by M. Briand of his rather sudden decision to leave for Paris. After the meetings he quail | flied the trip with the explanation, not given before, that he wished to talk with Premier Tardieu and con- | fer with the senate foreign affairs committee, returning to London with Premier Tardieu Sunday or the next day.
 | Reports were current in some quarters that events of the day had seemed to Briand to be taking a course unfavorable for the French viewpoint, and that back of his sud- den decision to visit Paris was a conviction of the futility of remain ing here longer. Mir. Macdonald, told of this, sought him out, and by some process secured at least q profession of modification in his at- titude.
 Says Way Out Possible
 After the meeting he told the newspaper men: Always when things seem at their worst, one finds q way out. That is true noW.'
