BYRD DISCLAIMER
DECLARED INVALID
- ~
Cotton Says u. S. Claims to
Antarctic Land Can Still
Be Pressed.

BY the Associated Press.
American claims to lands discovered
by Rear Admiral Byrd in the Antarctic
area cannot be affected, in the view
of Acting Secretary Cotton, by the ex-
plorer's announced intention Of not
claiming the territory for the United
States.
The State Department Official held
yesterday that whether the Government
later decided to press claim to the polar
areas or to relinquish them, no action
Of the discoverer could bind It.
Byrd was quoted in dispatches from
Dunedin, New Zealand, as saying he
had no intention of claiming his dis
eovery for the United States but that
as much as for his own country.
Great Britain, In November, 1928
sent note to this Government offer
ing assistance to the Byrd party in its
explorations and calling attention to its
claim to sovereignty over practically
the entire Antarctic region by right
of pr0r discovery.
After a years study by the State De-
partment, which Is understood to have
developed substantial grounds for Amer
lean claims to areas near the South
Pole, an acknowledgment of the note
was dispatched to London, worded tc
leave the way open for further dis.
cussion of the question but not ad.
hitting the validity Of the British
claim.
Byrd discovered several new stretche,
of land, one Of which he named Marie
! Byrd Land in honor of his wife. He
was quoted in New Zealand as sayine
| there was nothing In the situation likelS
| to cause controversy, adding that "wI
| are more interested in good fellowship
and craftsmanship with you In oul
common investigation down there thar
we are with any claims In thu
| Antarctic"

GANDHPS ARREST
REPORTED NEAR
~
Indian Nationalist EeadeT
Blamed for Head Men Re-
signing, Says Paper.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March l5.-The Sunday
Times says that well informed quar-
tiers in London regard the arrest of
Mahatma Gandhi as Imminent"
This view Is entertained, the paper
says, because Of the situation brought
about by the resignation of head men
in several villages through which
Gandhi passed on his march to the
sea in connection with his civil diso-
bedience campaign.
THE action Of the head men," says
the Sunday Times, ''is In direct re-
Spouse to Gandhi'S appeal and 10 re-
garded as a defiance Of law which not
even the greatest sense Of official toll
erance can countenance. The authori-
ties are expected to act with quickness
and f1rmnesS'
This view does not seem to be held
generally In London. The opinion
seems to be that the veteran Indian
Nationalist leader will be left at liberty
for time at any rate.

gracious conduct and 0onciliatory spirit,
without which this solution of the diff
cult Haitian situation would have been
impossible"
Two weeks ago today the commits
sioners opened their first day Of public
hearings and met with boycott from
the people, who charged that they were
In Haiti only to rake over the events
Of the past and would do nothing for
the future.
A timely statement from Chairman
w. Cameron Forbes and his colleagues,
saying that the commission was here
with wide powers to solve the Haiti3n
problem, won over the opposition. The
public and private sessions got under
way and the commissions plan was
made public.
The commissions achievements, how
ever, were for q time tmperiled by the
attitude OF President Borno, who re-
fused to modify orders he had sent to
the projects declaring that legislative
elections could not be held until 1882.
News OF this action reached the COM
missioners while they were on their
trip through the interior, which was
seething with indignation over it. When
they returned to the capital they i'm
med1ately set to work to modify the
stand Of President Borno, and heir
f1rmneSS finally trtumphed.
Though there were a few rumblings
Of discomfort among independent ele-
mentS, all sides tonight believed that
the commission by acting with unpre-
cedented raptdity had solved the en-
tire problem Of turning the govern
ment Of Haiti back to the Haitian peo-
pie, which was the chief demand of
most Haitians. :
Gradual Withdrawal Of Marines.
The Withdrawal Of the Marines is
expected to be gradual, giving Haiti
time to set public affairs functioning
smoothly.
Unless there are unexpected &C.
velopments, the commissioners wiz sail
aboard the U. s.. s. Rochester at 10
am. tomorrow, returning to Miami.
Fla. by way Of Guantanamo, Cuba.
En- route they expect to complete their

1t was learned tonight that the COM

On the highest authority it was re-

commission.
Gen. Russell himself also cabled
President Hoover, according to these
report, and told him there was certain
to be bloodShed in Haiti unless the

NAVY WORKERS
ASK RAISE

Helpers general at the Wash

naval yards have been promised
that their plea for increased
wages will be reconsidered by the
General Wage Board of the Navy
Department in the near future,
according to Thomas j. Connolly,
of 1914 Florida Ave. N. E., ma.
tional representative Of these
workers.
The helpers general are asking
an increase from 81 cents an
hour to rs cents an hour. or So
a day. The last raise they re-
ceived was a two-cent increase in
1925. For several years they have
refrained from even asking an
increase because of a desire to
cooperate with the Governmental
economy program.
Connolly has explained to the
House Naval Affairs Committee
the urgent need Of a raise for the
helpers. Wives of some of the
workers are compelled to take in
washing to exc out an existence,
he told the committee. The
average family Of these helpers
consists of five members. There
are 384 helpers general at the
local yard and 96 per cent of
them are eX-Service men.
