AIDE GETS
PROMOTION

For his excellent York as
.ember of the Byrd Antarctic
Expedition attested by Real
Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Secre.
tary of War Hurley has waived
certain Army regulations in the
case of Technical Sergt. Benjamin
Roth and today authorized his
promotion to the grade of master
-ergeant.
Army regulations provide that
appointments to the grades OF
master and technical sergeants,
Air Corps, must be by competitive
examination. On account OF
Sergeant Roths absence from
the United States with the Byrd
expedition, it was not possible
for him to take the examination
wherefore it was waived.
Sergeant Roth was selected
upon request of Admiral Byrd
and assigned in 1928 for duty
with the expedition. At that
time he was a staff sergeant of
the Air Corps. On May 6, 1880
he was appointed technical
sergeant. Air Corps, which
appointment he would have re-
ceived had he remained on duty
at his regular station, Mitchell
Field, New York.

PRESBYTERIANS
i. DENY MERGER

Rumors that the First and
Washington Heights Presbyterian
Churches have reached an agree
ment to merge with the Church
of the Covenant were declared
false today by Clarence A. Aspin-
WALL president OF the Board OF
Trustees of the Church OF the
Covenant.
The Church of the Covenant
has agreed with the National
Presbyterian Church to take in
sponsors of the proposed new
national churcn within 5 years
to form a National Presbyterian
Church in Washington, providing
that the National hackers raise
$l,000,OOO by that time, AspinwaH
stated.
The enlarged Church of the
Covenant, which would then be-
come the National Presbyterian
Church, would then take up the
questions of a new edifice and its
site, after the merger had been
made.
There have been several discus
sions between representatives OF
the Church of the Covenant and
the First Presbyterian Church
regarding merger possibilities, but
none between the former AMI
the Washington Heights Church,
he said.
No agreement between the first
two can be reached until propo-
sal is submitted to the respective
congregations, he said. Aspinwall
also refuted reports Of a tri-
party discussion and agreement
between all three churches.

Campbell Defense Attempts
To Prove Innocence by
Gun Testimony

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23-P-
Scientific crime solution was bal
anced today against an alibi in the
trial OF Herbert M. Campbell. vir-
ginia real estate dealer. charged with
numbering Mary Baker. government
clerk.
Should the jury attach little
weight TO the testimony OF ballistics
experts who say Campbell's gun
was the weapon which fired three
bullets into the girls body, on the
mis- hit of April IL, and TO a chain OF
circumstantial evidence forged In six
months investigation. the acquittal
OF Campbell seems assured.
II 'ecesSary. to sustain his alibi
-attested by numerous witnesses
Campbell will be called upon by his
attorneys TO confess himself a liar
and a foolish publicity seeker. His
Own story and voluntary production
Of the weapon brought him into the
case.
Today the government summoned
Samuel Hardy. justice department
agent. to tell the jury that two lead
en- slugs produced yesterday were
those taken from the body identi-
fled as Miss Bakers after IL was
found In q culvert near Arlington
cemetery. These will be identified
as bullets only Campbell's pistol
could discharge.
The defense may present gun ex-
perts TO testify they believe his gun
could not have fired the shots.
Chiefly, however, counsel will rest
on Campbell's assertion, and other

REBELS CLAIM
BIG ADVANCES
Reports from Brazil Give
Rail Center, 3 States
To Insurgents

CURITYBA, Parana, Brazil, Oct.
c3.-P1-The Brazilian revolution
ary command was informed today
that the nineteenth battalion OF
Chasseurs, stationed at limbo.
state OF Bahia, had revolted and
joined the insurgent movement.
limbo is a railroad center about
100 miles from Bahia, third largest
city of Brazil, and the insurgent
advices claimed that the federal
detection opened the way for their
advance directly into Bahia on the
-ailroad line.
It was presumed here that the
army Of Captain Juarez Tavora,
which within the past few days
has invaded and over-run the
states OF Pernambuco, Alagoas and
5ergipe, cannot be far from TlmpO
Il it has not already reached this
point in its advance down the
coast toward Bahia or Sac Saliva
dor.
Rebel troops claimed yesterday TO
have repealed a strong federal at
.empt to destroy Senges bridge.
across the Rio Taguary, just south
Of Itarare. The effect would have
been to cut the line Of communi-
cation OF the i%nsurgent vanguard
which has advanced beyond TIA
rare into Sac Paulo. and to have
stranded ID north OF the river with
out means OF getting supplies.
The attack was said TO have been
made near the headquarters of
General Miguel Costa, command
ing the vanguard. His troops. the
advices claimed, routed the federals.
There was a new element occa-
sioning some surprise IN the repeI
statements today. This was that a
considerable quantity Of war mate
rial had been captured at Ponta
Grossa. Ponta Grossa Is Just west
OF Curityha and far within a terri
tory which heretofore had been re-
garded as exclusively occupied by
rebels.
