on the major points of a consolida-
ton plan, were in conference here again
today.
There was no announcement as to
the subject of the discussion, but it was
believed that ratification of the agree
ment's terms, which have not been
made public oficialIy, was being con-
sidered. Il is known that the executives
desire to get their proposals before the
Interstate Commerce Commission as
soon as possible, perhaps by the end of
this month.
Several details, including the price
the Van Sweringens will pay the Penn
sylvania for the latter's interest in the
Lehigh Valley and the rental to be paid
by the Pennsylvania for trackage rights
over the Nickel Plate between Buffalo
and Chicago, remained TO be settled
when the agreement was announced on
Tuesday.
1t had been understood that there
might be recourse to arbitration to de-
termine these points, but there was a
feeling in railroad circles that any diff
ferenceS would be Strengthened out
among the executives themselves.

IN DROUGHT RELIEF
Ex-GOv. Byrd of Virginia Asks
President to Allot Sum to Rural
Road Building.
BY the Associated Press.


WINCHESTER, Va, January a.
Former Gov. Harry F. Byrd, chairman
of Virginias Drought and Unemploy-
ment Relief Commission, in a letter to
President Hoover expresses the hope
that the President will use the power
vested in you by the terms Of the
relief BILL" to divert $50,000,o00 to
drought States to be used on cheaper
type road construction.
Mr.. Byrd said that in the relief meas
ure signed by the President there was
no fund available for the relief of I'M
employment in the rural districts where
the drought has occasioned hardship
and suffering. He said the $l,500,000
allocated to Virginia must be expended
on roads in the Federal system and on
construction types approved by the
Federal Bureau of Roads.
If the States were allowed to spend
the money on farm to-market" roads
and cheaper types of construction, he
said, employment would be furnished to
farmers in the vicinity of such roads,
thus enabling them to remain at home
and support their families.

Make Solo Flight to China
Despite Objections.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLOGNE, Germany, January a.
Miss Amy johnson, British girl flyer on
a flight to Peiping, China, landed here
at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. She
plans to fly to Berlin tomorrow.
General establishment has been
aroused in Great Britain by departure
of Miss johnson to fly across snow
severed Northern Eurasia to Peiping.
Leaving Hendon Airdome yesterday
forenoon, she stopped at Lympne mo-
mentarfly and proceeded to Liege. Bel
GUM, for the night. She expects to
continue to Berlin, then to Moscow,
where equipping her plane with skis
she will fly across barren Siberia and
Mongolia to Peiping.
Flyer Believed in Ill Health.
In addition to general fear for her
safety in view of the extreme hazards
of such a journey her friends were rep
resented today as feeling considerable
anxiety on account of her health.
The Daily Express said she was in
Ill health and had become a neurotic
from the strain of her flight to Aus
tralia. The papcr quoted an airman
friend, George Campkin. as saying that
she had never recovered from the Aus
tralian ordeal and is overstrung. irri-
table, depressed and restless and does
not realize what Winter flight over
the sub-Arctic srowfields involves.
The Soviet embassy at London told
the Daily Herald that such a flight as
she contemplated would be difficult and
that she must be prepared for intense
cold with the ground perhaps several
feet deep in snow, adding that she
would be all right II she reached an
airdrome at every landing but that she
did not know what hazards she might
have to face.
Phases of the flight were the basis
of conflicting reports in some of the
LONDON newspapers. Wednesday Miss
johnson was charged in London police
Court with having left an automobile
unattended in the street but she OBJ
tanned dismissal of the charges by re-
vealing a mysterious employment in
government service
While tho Daily Mail said that Amy's
parents had been kept in ignorance of
her intentions to make the fight, the
Daily Express quoted the mother as
saying. I'VE approve the flight because
we must After what she has gone
through this adventure will be relief
and soothing influence for her She has
shown restlessness at home for months. "

Mr.. Farrell was named Commissioner

more than three years ago.
Mr.. Farrell came to Washington as
an associate of c. A. Prouty, from New

rell has held many important posts in
the commission. numbering among
them general solicitor IN charge OF

At that time. DR.. Greene said, he
found everything in perfect order. The
girls body was composed, face upward;
her face had been powdered, her hair
combed, her arms folded across her
breast. There were clean slips on the
pillows, clean sheets on the bed and no
blood stains except at the corner Of
the girls lips he said
He explained that he found the girl
dead. pronounced her SO and reported
to the coroner. DR.. Joseph d. Rogers
then authorized the removal of the
body. The police incidental report was
made out and sent through with the
notation mo suspicious circumstances"
The undertaken, w. w. Deal, told
him, DR.. Greene said, the hole In the
back of the girls head apparently had
been plugged up with strand Of her
bobbed hair.
The bullet wound was discovered
some six hours later, about O'Clock
wednesday night, when the undertaken

notified police and the investigation
followed.
Headquarters detectives say they
found the bloody pillow slips and blood
stains upon the sheets when they beg n
their investigation. The bedding was

sideration only in the case of Commits
sioner Draper.
He voted against confirmation of the
nominations of the chairman OF the
commission, DR.. George Otis Smith and
Commissioner Garsaud. In order to
move reconsideration a Senator must
have voted in favor of confirmation.
Senator Brookhart said there would be
conferences of those Senator'S desiring
to recall confirmation of the three COM
m.ssioners before Congress msets next
Monday. He said he expected that
motions would be made to reconsider
the confirmation Of all three OF these
commissioners.
Couzens on Sidelines.
Senator Couzens of Michigan. chair
man of the Committee ON Interstate
Commerce, which had charge of the
nomination of the Federal power COM
missioners, said today he believed the
law creating the new Federal Power
Commission automatically swept the
board clean and that the commissioners
had been correct when they declared
the employees in question were OUT OF
Office It was indicated by Senator
Couzens that he did not intend to take
part in the fight to reconsider the ac-
ton Of the Senate of there commits
sionerS' nomina tionS.
From other sources, 1t was learned
that the probability of reconsideration
of these nominations, was very slight.
The row over the Federal Power
Commission, however, is likely to take
up some of the time of the Senate as
soon as that body reconvenes. Discus
sions of the proposed consolidation of
the eastern railroads, as announced by
over Robert H. Lucas. executive Gil
rector of the Republican National Com
mittee, also are likely to consume time.

E|NSTE|N TO STUDY
HEAVENLY SPACES
Worlds Largest Telescope
Attracts Scientist at Cali
fornia Observatory.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, January DIR.
Albert Einstein today joined the men
studying the behavior Of a universe to
the structure of which they say his
RELATIVELY theory appears to offer
clue.
These men, earnest workers Of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
have the worlds largest telescopes
10O-inch rejecting mirror-at Mount
Wilson.
This observatory. an attraction for
the master mathematician and physi-
cist, is investigating the universe, study
ing its parts, its structure and its be-
hayior, Since no one institution can
hone to cover the whole of the subject,
Mount Wilson, having the worlds
largest telescope, devotes most Of its
time to the remote regions.
The moon and planets are studied as
members of the solar system, to which
the earth belongs.
The sun, a typical star and by far
the nearest of them all, is studied In
tensively.
The stars are known to form def
mite system, isolated in space. Other
similar systems, the nebulae, are scat
tered as far as the telescopes can reach,
and perhaps farther. With the great
refiectors and accessories 1t Is possible
to study the whole of the observable
region of space.
DR.. Einstein at one time formed a
mental picture of the cosmos, mathe-
NAUTICAL concept developed by calcula-
ton. Here he finds a man who has
seen and studied physically the OBJ
servable universe, and who has found
that observable distances Of 100000, 900
light years are apparent.
This man is Dr. Edwin P. Hubble OF
Mount Wilson. He has much to show
to DR.. EinStein.
