u. S. CLAIM TO
ANTARCTIC LAND
Senator's Resolution May
Pit Byrd'S Discoveries
Against Britain's.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July "A reso-
luton which would pit the claims
of the United States against those
of Great Britain in the vast con-
tinent of Antarctica today awaited
senate action.
Senator Tydings Dem, Md
introduced the resolution which
would direct President Hoover to
LAY claim to areas in the Antarctic
which have been discovered or ex-
plored by Americans"
State department officials said
congressional action would not be
necessary to make an American
claim to Antarctic territory valid.
Officials said Byrd has made no re-
port to the department regarding
American claims.
Chairman Borah of the senate
foreign relations committee to which
the resolution was referred. did not
indicate he would bring the reso-
luton up for early action.
If adopted the resolution would
precipitate a controversy which the
state department carefully side
stepped last year when it was de-
cided to pigeon hole a vigorous draft
note object:ng to all-inclusive
British claims in the area.

The part it played in Riley's
adolescence is told wildly by Will
Meek, 70, of 1888 Grand avenue, In
dianapolis.
Meek, wnite-haired now and
hite-bearded, was a crony OF
Riley's. His roundabout coat
dangled on sycamore limbs with the
poets. He held his nose to duck
his head under water in the "Old
Swimmin' Hole" just as Riley did,
Many a time we'd start undress-
ing bout the time we hit the Ma
tional road. jim would sneak off
plugs of tobacco from his daddy and
the rest of us smokes and we'd go
down to the Old Hole and bask in

planned.

"We'd stay away all day. We'd
throw mud at eacn other, tie knots
in the clothes of the fellow that
was last gettin' in. And Jim was
just real boy, like the rest of us.
I 'spect he played hockey from
school as much as any of us did,"
and he paused.

The clatter and noise of 1890
broke in as radio in the Meek

cinnati, Frey and Sukeforth.
The aged man looked far out the
window, looked as if he saw a
funeral procession passing by and
requiem being sung like this:
Oh! the old swimmin' hole! When
last saw the place.
The scenes was all changed, like the
change in my face;
The bridge of the railroad now crosses
the spot,
Where the old divin'-log lays sung and
forgot.
And I stray down the banks where the
trees ust to be-
But never again will theyr shade shelter
me!
And 1 wish in my sorrow 1 could strip
to the soul,
And dive off in my grave like the old
swimmin' hole.

JADWIN HEADS
new FEDERAL
POWER BOARD
Four Other $10,000-a- Year
Commissioners Will Be
Named Soon.
BIZ United Press

By United Prcss
WASHINGTON, July IA re-
tired army engineer whose name ha;
been connected in the public mind
for several years with Mississippi
food control, Major General Ed
gar Jadwin, was named by President
Hoover late Tuesday as head Of the
recognized, acknowledgements
sored federal power commission.
The power chairman, who with
four other s1O,OOO-per-year commits
sioners, shortly TO be named, will
control development of the nations
power resources, brings to his new
job years of experience as chief of
the board Of army engineers for
rivers and harbors.
Years of Experience
In his late position, from which
he was retired last year, Jadwin re-
viewed and passed upon thousands
of rivers and harbor projects.
These ranged in extent and cost
from the vast and highly compl-
Gated system of Mississippi flood
control to minor schemes for bridg-
ing creeks and dredging small
canals.
Work on the Panama canal,
though, as a minor official, was one
Of Jadwin's first big engineering
jobs. Later, in the World war, he
served as director of light railways.
Several years after the war closed
he became chief of engineers.
Reorganization of the power COM
mission will place the control of
power sites in the hands of five full
time commissioners. Since its crea-
ton in 1920 the commission has
been Differed by the secretaries of
war, interior and commerce.
Hurled Trust" Charges
Having little time to devote to the
commission, these officials delegated |
many responsibilities to a paid ex-
ecutive secretary.
This policy led to frequent |
charges on the senate floor that the

RICHES FADE; LOVE, TOO
GATE GiUen Mr.: Lee, E1nnSUille LeIi

By Times Special
r OS ANGELES, July 2S.-How-
l. ard Lee, born Levi, awoke
this morning with a headache.
It wasn't his first headache, but
this one was different-not the
kind you cure by reaching Tor an
aspirin instead of a sweet.
Maybe it was the head, maybe
it was the humidity, maybe it was
Just the moonlight-or the moon
shine. Anyway, when Howard
made his way to the shucks last
night, he was married. When he
cooked one inquiring eye out at
the California sun this morning,
he was we'll on the way to being
otherwise.
Howard came out OF Evansville,
Ind, with a rush. That was
Towards way. Down on Fulton
street and up on some of the
more prominent boulevards, he
had tipped at high speed, until
the old town palled on him. 1t
made him weary to look at the
Levi department store, down on
Fulton street, so he came to
HOLLYWOOD and Los Angeles.
To Los Angeles, also came Mrs.
Eugenia Bankhead Hoy Butt,
daughter of Congressman William
B. Bankhead of Alabama and
sister of Tallulah Bankhead, the
famed actress.
Eugene had been married so
many times that she had cut-rate
privileges with the railroads run
ming from Hollywood to Reno. she
looked over the flaming Howard
in musing way and so, in an
absent minded moment, they
were married.
It was careless of Eugenia, but
when Howard breathed into her
shell-like, pink ear the story of
his wealth and social standing,
she believed him. Hence the head
ache for Howard this morning.
Mrs. Eugenia Bankhead-Hoyt-
Butt-Lee appeared in court today
with a plea that the latest Of her
matrimonial dives be made null
and void and otherwise wiped of
the map, this time without even
making her customary seasonal
trip to Reno.
Mr.. Lees social standing stood
at exactly zero, to quote the fair
Eugenia, and his financial stand
ing was only a couple of zeros
better, she stated in bitter tones.
So Howard, blinking up at the
California sunshine this morning
with bilious eye, vowed that the
next time he would choose some
unsophisticated lily of the matri-
monial fields, like Peggy Hopkins
Joyce, for example, before STEP
Fig proudly to the altar.

Alonei n the room, he examined
the gun and pulled the trigger
again. The second cartridge ex-
ploded and the bullet was buried
