ABOARD U. S. S. LOS AN
GELES, Feb. 6.-Bucking moder-
ately high winds and intermit-
tent thunderstorms which were
impeding our progress somewhat,
we of the naval dirigible Los
Angeles we're cruising down the
east coast of Florida today, we'll
over the halfway point to Guam
tanamo Bay, Cuba, our first stop.
The Los Angeles, bearing 13
officers, "a enlisted men and two
passengers, is en- route to the
Panama Canal Zone to partici-
pate in fleet maneuvers to be
held there.
Hit ROngh Weather
The rough weather off the
coast of Florida was the first we
struck since hopping off from
the Lakehurst Naval Air Station,
N. j., at $50 p. m. yesterday.
Flying at an altitude of 1000
feet, we had comparatively
smooth sailing through the night,
with the dirigible's motors push
ing the big silver hulk through
the night sky at a speed Of
about 70 miles per hour.
Islands Invisible
Nassau and the Bahamas lie
not far off to our starboard.
invisible through the mist and
the rain. The towns and cities
of Florida's east coast, off to our
port so or 10 miles, also are in
visible from our position.
We had anticipated arriving
at Guantanamo Bay about sunset
this evening, but the contrary
winds and thunderstorms have
slowed our speed to 80 miles per
hour, or less. so our arrival may
be somewhat later in the even
ing.

EXTRA SESSION
NOW BELIEVED
UNLIKELY
Congress Afraid Conditions
Will. Grow Worse If Session
Continues; See Compromise
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
The proposed extra session of
Congress, which no one seems to
want but which many consider
necessary, has assumed the on
Observation-Disclosures stage.
Several days ago when the
Senate was shouting defiance at
the White House an extra session
after March appeared inevitable.
Members stood on the floor and
belJigerently declared their un-
dying determination to stay in
washington all summer, if neces-
sary, to compel Mr.. Hoover to
accept things which he has re-
fused to accept.
Extra Session Unlikely
But tempers cool and passions
recede in Washington, and today
it appeared that the extra ses-
sion, which business considers
with misgiving and which Presi-
dent Hoover regards with acute
dislike, would be avoided. OF
course, the situation may change
again-and probably will, several
timeS-before March 4. But the
missionaries of peace were busy
at both ends of Pennsylvania
Avenue today, and they appeared
to be making headway.
A compromise on the food re-
lief controversy, now in the max
ing, VIII go far toward obviating
the special session, which every
body processes to dread.
Would Retard Business
Business interests are opposed
to the extra session almost 100
per cent. A survey just com.
pleted by the United States Cham
Der of Commerce shows that
about SO 44-100 per cent of the
chamber membership believe an
extra session would be "unsettling
to business" would "retard recov.
cry" and disturb conditions"
Members of Congress are sensi-
tive to such opinions. Particu-
larly do they dread leaving them
selves open to the charge Of de-
laying the business recovery;
which steady stream of finan-
ciers and bankers have assured
Washington this week is on the
way.
Others Voice Opposition
Almost without exception, these
bankers and business leaders who
came to the Capital to inveigh
against the proposition of paying
off the war veterans, have an
nounced their opposition to an
extra session.
Despite all the talk and all the
threats, the leadership of neither
party wants an extra session.
The next Congress is so evenly
divided between the parties that
no one can tell at this stage
which party is going to be able
to organize.
Picture May Change
The picture may be changed
by the time December rolls
around, and both parties would
rather take their chances on
what fate holds in store in the
way of deaths, designations and
retirement, rather than to grab
the dilemma by the horns next
month.
Yeoman work, however, will be
necessary to complete the sched-
ule of the present session in the
Scant % working days left.

EXPECTS LOCUST
 INVASION OF OHIO
Seventeen=Year Species Is Due This Month, Says
 Prof

Wooster. O., UP)-An invasion of Ohio by the "17-year locusts" or cicadae is expected this month by Dr Warren Spencer, professor of biology at Wooster college.
 The last general appearance of the locusts was shortly before the be- ginning of the World War. Their return can safely be expected this year, according to Dr Spencer.
 Their reappearance will mean their return to open air and light after a 17-year period of dormant life. Through this long stage, they have lain in the soil their mouth parts sunk into a rootlet from which they have hatch their eggs to pro duce young somewhat ant-like in form. The young will make their way out to the end of twigs and re- main until tn elarvae is shaken off by the wind. The cicadae will fall to the ground and crawl about until 1t locates crevice into which 1t can remain for the next 17 years.
