POLAR AREA VALUE
TO AVIATION Barred
Warner Stresses Importance
to Powers of Claims on
Desirable Sites.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOclatSu FIebo,
WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, August 4.
The advent of the airplane has given
new significance to polar territory and
aroused interest of all great powers in
areas to which they previously gave no
attention, Edward P. Warner, editor
of Aviation and former Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, told members OF the
Institute of Politics today.
Speaking before the conference on
problems of Sovereignty in the Arctic
and Antarctic" he pointed out that the
shortest international air routes lie
over the Arctic, although difficulties OF
operations in the region are acute. A
number of years will probably elapse
before regular air routes can be organ
lied across the Arctic zone, he said,
but the prospect is sufficiently real to
have awakened the attention of great
powers to areas to which they previously
gave scant attention.
He mentioned Wrangel Island, Spitz-
bergen, Northern Greenland and Ice
land as sites of possible future bases
and said that where such areas are in
doubtful legal status, they. deserve the
|, vigorous" prosecution of any valid
national claims.
Dr. Laura Martin, geologist and geo.
grapher of Washington, D. C., dis
cussing Stefansson's claims to Wrangel
Island on behalf of the British and
his assertion that America was next in
point of discovery and exploration, said
British claims were surrendered by the
Macdonald government, American
claims never were officially advanced,
and the Soviet Union now has been in
continual occupation for nearly seven
years"
Declaring that the increase of scien-
tific agriculture, the march of civiliza-
ton nearer the Poles and the increase
in aerial navigation has increased the
necessity for scientific observations in
polar regions, Dr. Martin told the con-
ference that movement now is on
foot to organize next year another polar
year on the fiftieth anniversary OF the
first one.
THE program was discussed in
Copenhagen September, 1929, and
brought before scientific bodies and
governments, and there will be another
meeting in Stockholm this August" he
said. The plans so far include re-
establishing the old stations and adding
new ones in places adequately covered
before particularly in the Soviet. All
must have Greenwich time. In the
Antarctic it is hoped to have three def
mite stations, and it is hoped that the
whalers will cooperate by providing
transportation, as they have to scientific
parties before.
when these observations are in and
the results correlated and studied, one
may safely say that great many prob
lens in meterology and earth science
will be cleared up, and 1t is hoped that
feeling of interdependence between
the nations will be set up which may
coupterbalance in part the nationalistic
claims in the polar areas"

BROUN WILL SEEK
SEAT AS SOCIALIST
Newspaper CoIumnist to Run
for Congress on UnempIoy-
ment Aid Platform.
Special Dispatch to TIE Star.

Special Dispatch to TIE Star.
NEW YORK, August 4.-Heywood
Broun, author, literary and dramatic
Telegram, announced his candidacy for
Representative in Congress from the
seventeenth district on the Socialist
ticket yesterday.
In his campaign he will oppose Mrs.
Ruth B. Pratt, Republican incumbent,
and take the unemployment problem to
Park avenue. His Democratic opponent
will be Magistrate Louis I. Brodsky.
In the eyes of political observers the
immediate importance of Mr.. Broun'S
candidacy lies in the possibility that
he may split the Republican vote and
cause considerable embarrassment to
Mrs. Pratt, and also to State Senator
Samuel H. Hofstadter, since the So
cialistS plan to place a. strong ticket in
the field for other offices.
Capitalize on Thomas.
In offering Broun for Congress the
Socialists are undertaking to capitalize
the vote which Norman Thomas re-
ceived from Republicans in his race for
mayor on the Socialist ticket last Fail.
At that time it was estimated he re-
Republicans who refused to vote for
Representative Fiorello H. La Guardia,
the Republican nominee. The fifteenth
assembly district, lying between Central
Park and the East River and the back
bone of Mrs. Pratt's electoral strength,
furnished the outstanding non-Socialist
vote for Mr.. Thomas.
Republicans do not expect that Broun
will fall heir to similar disaffection,
since Mrs. Pratt is acceptable to the
Republicans, while Representative La
Guardia was not. But Broun's entry
was the occasion of some concern, be-
cause it is contributory factor to an
admittedly hard fight for Mrs. Pratt's
reelection.
Tammany Hall has chosen Mrs. Pratt
as a target this Fall, among other rea-
sons, because John F. Curry, leader Of
Tammany Hail, lives in Mrs. Pratt's dis
trict and is anxious to send Democrat
to Congress from his home bailiwick.
Moreover, Herman Hoffman, whom
KeyeS Winter, Republican leader of the
fifteenth, recently refused to designate
for justice of the Municipal Court. has
announced his intention of taking the
stump against Mrs. Pratt.
Broun announced his acceptance of
the Socialist designation yesterday. In
his statement he said that unemploy-
ment relief and unemployment insur-
ance would constitute the principal
issues of his campaign. He plans an
intensive speaking campaign, with
President Hoover and Mayor Walker,
in addition to Mrs. Pratt, as subjects of
his criticism.
The Socialist State Committee at
yesterdays meeting decided to make
the unemployment situation q State
issue and also to emphasize the need
of reapportionment giving New York
City proportional legislative representa-
ton. An additional plank agreed upon
was war against high rates of public
utilities companies.
In forwarding the Socialist campaign
radio and talking pictures will be used
weekly and non-party members will be
included on committees to mobilize
independent voters. 1t is expected
that the Socialists will offer a ticket
in each county of the State.

telling what he knew about the asssas-
sination of Alfred (Jake) Lingla,
Tribune reporter.
It was a woman, the police were con.
WINGED, who arranged the staying of
zuta Friday night in a lake resort

zuta, the head of the Northside
Moran-Aiello gangs vice business,
talked plenty" when he was questioned
several weeks ago about the Lingle
Staying, Pat Roche, chief investigator
for the States attorney, said.
The vice chieftain feared an attempt
on his life. He asked Lieut. George
Barker to escort him through the Loop
to his own Northside territory. The
attempt was made-at State and
Jackson streets, the traffic crossroads
of the loop. zuta escaped, but a
streetcar motorman was killed by stray
bullets.
Then zuta hid out in wisconsin.
He had several telephone conversations
with a Mrs. Laura Nelson, living on
the Northside One was just few
hours before five men entered the
dance hall and shot him down.
Police today went to Milwaukee to
see If Mrs. Nelson was one of three
women held in jail there for question
ing in the Zuta murder.
The women, arrested at road house
between Delafield and Milwaukee,
identified themselves as Mildred Tosch,
all of Chicago.
None of the women would talk, other
than to admit they knew Zuta. One
of them, Roche was convinced. notified
Zuta's enemies of his whereabouts
Lingle Roche said, had at several
times crimped the Northside gangs
vice and gambling rackets Zuta, when
questioned, talked freely about the
murder to save himself, Roche added.
Another angle was pursued in the
Zuta investigation-the reported return
they had learned Capone planned on
expanding his business to take over
the Northside territory.
Solly Vision and Albert BratZ, two
of Zuta's henchmen, have been sought
since the vice lords DEATH but cannot
be found. Police said they, too, have
been slain.
Sam Hunt, who totes his guns In
golf bag, was sought today.
Three miles from the Delafield Hotel,
where Zuta was slain, golf bag, con-
tanning five discharged shotgun shells,
was found Experts examined 1t for
fingerprints.
Weeks ago Hunt was dragged from
the running board of an automobile as
it started away. Hunts comrades,
never apprehended, had pulled the
body of some undetermined victim into
the car and were driving away when a
policeman tore Hunt from the car. He
was carrying golf bag as CULVER"
for his shotgun.
