Shook Hands Again
When death quivered over them

Casual Viewpoint
So casual were their viewpoints
on their misadventures in the air
that they were only revealed
when Otto Hillig showed his per-
sonal diary to the International
News Service correspondent.
The diary read:
'When the gasoline can
stuck in the rudder, it inter
fered with the steering of the
ship and worried US to death
for fear of cracking up the
plane"
Hillig amplified:
''It was 4 a. m. and we were
about % hours out. I had
climbed on the wing of the
plane and thrown an empty

was a jolt to the ship and
there was the can stuck in the

admitted ingenuously:
'T made a mistake doing
that. Lost some fuel because
the altitude made navigating
uncertain. We saw our first

Hillig interrupted to tell how
he felt when they came down
from 10000 feet to 5000 feet and
then through a hole in the

Louisville and NashViIIe's
Chief Tells |. C. C. Rate
Increase Is imperative

Characterizing the present situa-
ton Of the railroads as "a po'
tential threat to the entire finan-
cial and industrial structure of
the nation" w. r. Cole, president
of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, and chairman of the
special committee of presidents
representing the Southern group
of carriers, today urged the In
terstate Commerce Commission
to grant the roads petition for q
is per cent rate increase.
He said:
with the enormous decrease
in railroad earnings during the
current year below those Of
1880, 1t is evident the avail
ability of most railroad bonds
for investment Is not only Sc
riousIy threatened, but will GER
tainIy be destroyed if some way
Is not found to improve railway
earnings"
Receiverships FOreseen
He said a railroad was abso-
lutely dependent in obtaining
new capital upon the earning
power Of the property, and earn.
ing power was in turn dependent
rpon the rate levaI and the volume
Of traffic. He added:
"The inadequacy of the
present rate level is amply
demonstrated by the inability
Of the railroads to earn a fair
return upon an unprecedented
volume Of traffic generally
during the period 1926-29, in
elusive.
I'm the present emergency, it
Is no longer a question Of q
fair return, but of a return
sufficient to avoid the disaster
Of receiverShipS in the case Of
many railroads and the mainte-
nance of reasonable credit on
the part Of all of them"
1.53 Per cent Return
The railroads in the Southern
region are earning a return upon

per cent, he said, and even this
meager showing has been made

CAROL IN CHIEF ROLE.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

By Gable to The Star.
VIENNA, April 6.-Once again, just
IS in the fervid days following his
dramatic return to Bucharest. King
Carol Of Rumania Is taking the chief
role in the Rumanian political drama,
again with the tenacious. butcher,
faced leader of the National Peasants
party. julius Manu-, as his antagonist
King Carols candidate for the new
premier is Nicholas Titulescu. present
Minister in London. He is Rumania's
best known non-party diplomat and
is distinguished for many services at
Geneva and Paris. Mr. Titulescu has
been ordered from London to Bucharest
today and Mr.. Manu- also is leaving
his refuge on the Italian Riviera for a
return 10 the capital. The Easter holi
days ara paralyzing the negotiations SO
far, but King Carol is expected TO re-
cefye all corners Wednesday.
Mr.. Manu- is said to want to return
TO power. His deputy, George Mirones-
GU, whose cabinet crashed Saturday,
has simply been keeping his seat warm
for him.
Since the Manu- party holds Ave-
sixths Of the seats in Parliament, Mr..
Manu- is unwilling to consent to the
coalition government that King Carol
wants Yet economic affairs are in
such a terrible state in Rumania that
the King feels himself fully justified in
demanding a change. The salaries of
thousands of officials, functionaries and
clerks are in arrears and most of the
proceeds of the recent loan went to
cover outstanding foreign obligations.
King Carol thinks the best hope is TO
forget party politics and personal
tealousies and unite all leaders as one
team under a neutral like Mr.. Titulescu.
Only last month, in fact, Mr. Titulescu
visited Rumania at King Carols re-
quest and looked over the ground with
the idea of taking the job But after
two or three looks he declined the post
and returned TO the calmer vantage
point Of London.
Now King Carol will urge Mr.. T1tu-
lescu TO make a new attempt
Mr.. Titulescu wants guarantees of a
reasonably long tenure of office He
does not want TO head mere stop
gap ministry. like the last.
King Carol himself helped TO pro-
woke the crisis which three Mr. Miro
nescu out. It was at least his foremost
henchman, Mihail Msnoilescu, who
made the government tumble, and Mr.
ManoileScu would hardly have acted
without King Carols knowledge.

POLAR EXPEDITION

May Be Retraced.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The icy trail over which Ill luck
logged the Greedy Arctic explorers of
nearly half century ago may be re-
traced next year by a private American
expedition.
John A. Fleming, acting director of
the Carnegie Institutions terrestrial
magnetism department, said today
plans for American participation in the
second polar year program of interna-
tional scientific investigation include re-
occupation of Fort Conger 0Ady
Franklin Bay, on frozen Ellesmere
Island.

It was from this lonely white land
that Adolphus Washington Freely and

after two other relief efforts had failed.
I'VE are hopeful an expedition may
be arranged through private assistance
to supplement the Governments part
in the program" Fleming said. "If
plans go through, Fort Conger might be
occupied for two years.
1T will be expensive and will involve
more risk than the other part of the
program, because the expedition would
be dependent entirely on itself in this
absolute isolation. But 1t would be par
ticularly desirable because of the loca-
ton with respect to stragetic, geopraph-
ic and magnetic points"
Plans for American participation In
the polar year program, call for an ex-
petition to College, Alaska, 8 miles
north Of Fairbanks, where an auroral

and he indicates other directions
IN a simple and ingenious manner.
Suppose you we're from Sari and
we're travelling from the ice grit sea
above Korsar to any point upon
Pellucidar. you would set and main
tain your course in this manner. Ex-
tend the fingers Of your right hand
and hold it in a horizontal posi-
ton, palm down, directly In front
Of your body, your little finger
pointing in the direction Of 5ari--
direction which you know by in
stinct-and your thumb pointing to
the left directly at right angles to
the line In which your little finges
is pointing.
Now spread your left hand In the
same way and lower ii on top of
your right hand, so that the little
finger Of your left hand exactly
covers the little finger Of your right
hand.
You viii now see the fingers and
thumbs Of your two hands cover an
arc Of 100 degrees.
q -
Carl lies southeast Of Korsar
- while The Land Of Awful
Shadow lies due south. Therefore
a Sarian pointing in the direction
toward The Land Of Awful Shadow
would say that he was travelling two
left fingers from Sari, since the
middle finger Of the left hand would
be pointing about due south toward
The Land Of Awful Shadow.
If he were going in the opposite
direction, or north, he merely would
add the word 'back," saying that he
was travelling two left fingers back
from Sari, SO that by this plan every
point Of compass is roughly covered.

The fact that when one Is travel
