ADIYAMAN, Turkey, January a.
Now that communications have been
opened partially in Turkeys long-iso-
lated turbulent eastern provinces, travel
ere are bringing to the world news Of
the existence of a hidden and dreadful
village the village of the
blind.
In the dusty, sandy district Of His
nimansour, not far from the City OF
Malta, lies this village, Of whose 1000
inhabitants 6,791 are wholly or partially
sightless through the ravages Of
trachoma.
1t is a village without sound except
for the tap, tap of hundreds of canes
on cobbled roads as the population
gropes its way through a ghostly life
from blind childhood to blind old age
and death. Through Adiyaman's squalid
dung-thatched huts and dust-polluted
alleys squalid dusty human beings
crawl like animals without eyes.
Utterly disregarded by the old regime
OF the Sultans, the village has for CEN
turtles been without a school or hospital.
Without solace or help, its peasant pop
ulation. stricken generation after gener-
alton by trachoma, has made its living
painfully and half blindly through
farming and herding.

P. Garvan, president OF the Chemical
Foundation. in a statement published

ing that he and others tried to defraud

Tells Of Collecting Evidence.
Garvan said in his statement that
during 10 years he had assembled EVIL
dence of the German penetration of
American industry, involving cabinet
omcers OF the Harding regime and Sem
ator Moses of New Hampshire as allies
OF the German interests in their at
tempt to regain control of the American
situation.
The only reason I make this state
ment Is because after this case has
blown up, the fight goes on today. Some
OF you saw the other day that Senator
Moses had appointed Otto Kahn as
treasurer for the election of new SEN
ators. You did not associate the fact
that his friend and partner Warburr.
Is head and front Of the American in
terest in the American Unforeseen
Gemeinschaft in its attempt to destroy
our chemical industry"
Mr.. Kahn and Felix Warburg are
partners In Kuhn, Loeb g. Co..
Charges Salary Is Illegal.

Ee~fs, former attorney general of New
York, as an American official aiding
German dye interests. Mr.. Garvan said
that salary of $4,000, which is being
paid Mr.. Lewis as a special assistant
OF the United States Attorney General.
was being paid in violation Of the Fed
eral law, as the amount was being paid
from German funds held by the alien
property custodian by and with the
consent of Germans.
Mr.. Garvan said the suit against him
was instigated by CASTOR b. Means, who
later was sentenced to the Federal
penitentiary at Atlanta.

that the men engaged in the search
would be able to report their progress
for some time.
Only the parents Of Borland, among
relatives Of the two airmen, appeared to
retain hope that they may have escaped
alive. Absence of skis from the plane
and the fact that the two were reported
to have been equipped with parachuteS
was the principal basis for their hope.
Provisions in the plane we're UNI
touched, a circumstance which appar-
emily confirmed the belief that Borland
and Eielson were killed.
EielSon was noted for his work with
aerial exploration expeditions in the
Arctic and Antarctic. He piloted the
plane of Sir Hubert Wilkins on its 1000
mile fight over the top of the world
and on his flights across the Southern
ice cap.
Flew Early Air Mail Route.
Lieut.. Eielson was one of the first
flyers in the United States to conduct
a regular air mail route, this service
being between Anchorage and Fair
banks, Alaska, in 1921. He also was
one of the first flyers to successfully
pilot plane with skis replacing land
ing wheels.
Because of his efforts In establishing
the air mail route he was made an hon
orary life member Of the Order Of Pho
