Eleanor Callan Craun and Jes-
sic Blaisdell, pupils of LaSalle
Spier, were given Friday evening in
the auditorium Of the American As
sociation Of University Women club

and Fugue," the first movement of
the Schumann Sonata, G Minor"

the Brahms "Scherzo Op. 4" and
two movements Of the Beethoven
&C Minor Concerto" She has a great
deal Of natural ability and plays with
facility and ease. Her phraSing,
tone-color and clear ripping runs
are especially commendable. Her
best work was in the Brahms

parture of the well-loved brother,
the flrst movement of the Schumann
"Fantasie, C Major" three modern
French compositions, by Ravel and
Debussy and the first movement of
the Chopin Concerto, e Minor"
She is a mature and gifted pianist,
whose natural aptitude is fortified
by a remarkable memory. Her inter-
pretations were characterized by
breadth OF style, intensity of feeling,
brtlliance and power. Her entire
program was beautifully played.

BERLIN, June 2O.--Prof. Rodolphe
Samoilovitch, who came here from Rus
STA to confer with DR.. Hugo Eckener
about details of the Graf Zeppelin's
forthcoming Arctic flight told the As
sociated Press that observations made
on the polar flight would probably show
the feasibility Of an airship route be-
tween Russia and the United States via
the North Pole.
Whether such O route will be estab-
lished some day, depends on the Yep
pelin's air worthinesS under Arctic con-
ditions, he said.
Samoilovitch, who will be scientific
pilot on the Graf Zeppelin flight, was
confident the big airship which sailed
around the world, would prove equal to
the task.
Anyway" he said, 1--WE are provis-
ioned with supplies enough to last three
months If the worst happens. Never
before has there been an expedition
so extensively and so carefully equipped.

unnecessary risks II the weather is bad.

BALCHEN FOUGHT
IN NATURALIZATION
U. S. Commissioner to Object
to Byrd Flyer Being
Made Citizen.

RAYMOND F. Crist, United States
commissioner Of naturalization. yester-
day reiterated that the Government wiz
enter a technical objection to Bernt
Balchens application for citizenship on
the grounds that he was outside the
territorial limits of the United States
while a member of the Byrd Antarctic
expedition.
Crist said he had been advised by
Harold P. Woertendyke, divisional di-
rector of naturalization at Newark, N.
j., that the latter had issued no state
ment to the effect that the time which
Balchen spent with Byrd in Little
America would count as part Of the five
years residence necessary to naturali-
cation.
Five Years Not Up.
"Woertendyke denied making such a
one an interview" Mr.. Crist said. THE
one an Interview" Mr.. Crist said. The
situation with regard to Balchen is
just this: Balchen entered this country
June %, 1926. so that his flve-year
period ordinarily would expire on June
% next. At that time he may apply
to the courts for his final papers.
The department, however, cannot
recommend that citizenship be granted
Balchen until he he's spent five years
of continuous residehce in this country,
according to law. We intend, at the
proper time. to give to the court all the
data we have on the Balchen case and
to call specific attention to the fact
that Balchen was out of this country
with Admiral Byrd during the five years
since his entry.
Court to Decide.
"If the court should see fit to con-
strue Balchen's stay in Little America
as legal residence within the United
States, that will settle the question"
The Governments objection in
Balchen'S case will be wholly a techni-
cality. There are indications that Fed
eral officials would like to see Balchen
admitted to citizenship.

Reduced Exports Hit q. S.

60 much has been written about the effect
Of curtailed American exports on the busi-
ness depression that figures made public by
the Department of Commerce are interesting.
In normal times the expectation of goods repre-
sents only about 10 per cent of total produc-
ton During 1929 there was a decrease Of
Is per cent, which meant only a loss of "a
per cent Of normal markets. Other countries
have suffered as much or more than the United
States in world trade. Great Britain reported
loss Of % per cent, Japan, 81 per cent:
Canada, "a per cent, and Australia, 81 per
cent. AS these countries are much more de-
pendent upon their export trade than the
United States, they suffered far worse in reality
than the United States.
In an effort to stimulate foreign trade, the
foreign representatives Of the department per-
formed total of 100000 services of various
types for $4,000 American firms. These serv-
ices were of many natures, such as the inquiry
into market possibilities for various products,
the locating of American companies to fill de-
mandS found to exist, the supplying of data
on many subjects, such as tariff rates, freight
charges and the other items which enter so
vitality into foreign trade.

World Crops Hard Hit.

THE American farmer is not alone In feeling
the distress Of poor crops and hard times.
Reports gathered by the Department Of Agri-
culture from Australia, Argentina and India
indicate that the agriculturists of these coun-
tries have suffered also.
In Australia rains have delayed the wheat
harvest and at the same time have affected
other crops adversely. The apple crop. too, has
been hard hit, and instead of the usual 100000
boxes for export only about 1000 900 boxes win
be available.
Argentinas faxseed crop Is expected to DO
on more than 40 per cent, while midas cotton
output win be down about per cent.

processes require smaller purchases of crude OIL
by the ref1ner
From the refinery to the bulk station, pipe
line and waterway methods of gasoline trans-
portation effect considerable economies. The
present year win see the completion Of two
major gasoline pipeline projects. The greater
of the two is the 1,350-mile development of the
Great Lakes Pipe Line Co.. whereby six major
integrated oil companies win ship gasoline from
their reflneries in Kansas and Oklahoma to the
great market centers and waterway terminals
in the Great Lakes region. Lake terminals at
Chicago, Ill, and Milwaukee Wis, will permit
tanker transportation of gasoline to Eastern
points on the Great Lakes. The other major
project under construction is that Of the Phil
lips Pipe Line Co, extending from refineries
at Berger, Tex, and Wichita, Kans., to st.
Louis, Mo.
Cost of moving gasoline through pipelines
under the most favorable economic conditions
Is placed at about one half that charged for

costs will aid the marketer to maintain present

Laughing was something that he didn't do ex-

thought that since wasn't laughing with him
