ferences with officials Of the Aeroarctic
Society before sailing on the Graf. from
Friedrickshafen, Germany. July 10.
Systematic Study Of Arctic.
The purpose Of the trip, briefly. he
explained, Is to make q systematic
study ofIthe Arctic regions from the air"
The trip was originally planned for 1880
by DR.. F. Nansen,, Swedish explorer. who
has since died.
Photographs will be made from the
Graf Zeppelin to record the appearance
of the ice cap on top of the world,
Smith said, the concentration of the
ice, how open it is in spots, and how
1t may be moving. Science will resort
to the use of pilot balloons from a plat
form on top the dirigible to carry in
struments high into the Arctic air.
This will be for the purpose of observ-
ing air currents for the benefit of future
aviation over the polar regions.
Plans have been made, he added, to
record the depth of the Arctic waters.
Bombs will be let down into the water
exploded by electricity, and records kept
of the time the noise requires to travel
to the bottom of the ocean and back
again. These are known as electrical
Soundings.

States Coast Guard to send q repre-
sentative. The trip this Summer Is a
preliminary voyage to the Pole, Comdr.
Smith said, to test instruments and
personnel in preparation for q longer
voyage in 1882. In 1892, Interna-
tional Polar Year, he explained more
than 80 nations will cooperate in the
establishment of scientific research
stations in the polar regions. The two
American stations proposed are at
Fairbanks, Alaska. and at Fort Conger,
on Ellesmere Land above Baffin Bay.
The United States Navy and the United
States Weather Bureau are two Federal
organizations which have made tenta-
tive plans to cooperate in Internatlon-
al Polar Year.
Graf Leaves in July.
The Graf Zeppelin will leave Ger
many for the Pole in July, with her
large party of scientists and explorers.
The trip will include the voyage to the
North Pole and return to Germany.
The 1882 voyage will, according to
present plans, include longer trips
across the entire region to Fairbanks.
Alaska. Refueling at Fairbanks, the
big dirigible will make shorter ex-
cursion through the unexplored Polar
region, and then return to Fairbanks.
After refueling again and taking on
new supplies at Fairbanks the snip
will return to Germany by way OF ST.
IBERIA.
Should the first trip this Summer
prove a success, Condr Smith said the
international Aeroarctic Society plans
to take the same personnel on the 1882
voyage.
The Coast Guards interest in the
Arctic expedition of the Graf Zeppelin
is prompted by the important duty OF
International Ice Patrol. The Coast
Guard maintains this patrol for all ma
tions using the North Atlantic steamer
lanes, in order to protect transatlantic
shipping from the icebergs drifting
into the North Atlantic.
Ice Patrol Veteran.
Comdr. Smith is q veteran Of this
ice patrol OF the Coast Guard. A veteran
of the World War, Comdr. Smith was
ordered as scientific observer ana
navigator with the international ice
patrol in 1920. It was largely through
his efforts that there was introduced
the practice of officers transferring be-
tween patrol ships, and remaining con-
tinuously at sea during the iceberg
season.
It was on a special expedition, how
ever, into Davis Strait and Baffin Bay,
of the coast of Northern Canada in
1928, that Comdr. Smith, in charge of

Few Here for Football Game
Yale=PrincetOn Battl c Fails to Attract An-
 nual Crowds

Members of the traffic squad and the afternoon platoon of the Waterbury Police department who had received special instructions Saturday for handling anticipated heavy traffic had things very easy compared to former years. Lack of public interest in the Yale- Prince ton game played Saturday after noon in the Bowl was responsible for big decrease in the number of out of town autos passing through this city. The Yale-Army and the the Yale-Dartmouth game provided greater interest and more work for the police.
 Not single accident of serious consequence occurred in Waterbury Saturday. There were no tie-ups along the principal routes to New Haven.
 The Elton was host Saturday night to a big gathering of foot ner dance was held. The pro- gram of music included a number of college songs. particularly num- bers familiar and popular with Yale and Princeton men.
 Hotel Waterbury entertained its guests with a special dinner party.
 A Yale-Princeton game Is usually a big attraction in New Haven, but due to the fact that Old Nassau's gridiron representatives had ex- perienced one of the poorest sea- sons in many years, general inter- est was noticeably missing with the result that Waterbury establish ments failed to profit as hand somely as in by-gone years.

Brickel Returns T0
 Duty, Absent Months
Popular Sergeant Gets Housing Welcome From Court
 Officials and Brother Officers

After a leave of absence of five months Sergeant John F. Brickei, Waterbury's senior police officer, returned to duty this morning and officiated in his customary posi- ton as officer of city court. The popular sergeant was welcomed back to his post by Judge T. V. Meyer and various court officials. members of the bar association and scores of others who had occasion today to visit city court or the City Hall. Superintendent of Police Joseph H. Mclean also had the glad hand of welcome for the vet eran.
 Sergeant Brickel underwent an operation for appendicitis several months ago. He was taken i'll shortly after recovering from an injury to his knee, mishap he suffered while taking prisoners to the county jail in New Haven. It was the longest period of absence from duty in his forty years Of service as a member of the Water bury Police Department. Sergeant Brickel was named regular on August 4, 1891. Incidentally to- morrow marks the 10th anniver- sary of his promotion to sergeant. He appears today to be in splendid health and fit for another try at the departments all-time record for continuous service.

|Sixty-Fourth
 Anniversary
Allen Larkin and O'Brien Remembered in Water-
 bury November g

November 23 marked the 64th anniversary of the Manchester Martyrs, Allen, Larkin and o. Brien, who were executed on a charge of participation in the res- cue of Colonel Thomas Kelly and
 Captain Deasey, Fenian leaders, from 0 prison van on Hyde road at Manchester, England. Five men were arrested. Of these Edward O'Meagher Condon was pardoned on account of this con- nection with the British marines.
 The alleged crime for which AL len Larkin and O'Brien were hanged consisted of the accidental shooting of Sergeant Brett, who was in charge of the prison van, containing Kelly and Deasey. Ser geant Brett refused to open the door and it was finally decided to blow off the lock. While this was being done, Brett, who was looking out through the key hole got the contents of pistol and was killed, The man who fired the shot escaped, but three of his as- sociates paid the penalty with their lives. The courage with which they went to their death was made the subject of T. D. Sullivan's popular song entitled "God Save ireland" rendered all around the world since at gatherings in honor of the Manchester Martyrs. This and other popular Irish national songs, including "The Soldier Song'' and O'Donnell Abu" were rendered at a meeting of the Club and Clan-na-Gael and I. R. A. Fri day night. In addition to songs several addresses suitable for the occasion were delivered. The ses- sion was largely attended.
