NEW YORK, March 27.-William B.
Leeds, young millionaire sportsman,
has signed as mooring master Of the
submarine Nautilus for Sir Hubert VIII
kins' under-ice polar expedition this
Summer.
Definite decision as to whether he
will make the voyage depends upon
Leeds physical condition after trial
trips of the submarine. He is reported
a sufferer from chronic bronchitis.
Leeds was a passenger twice on

MARCON| STUDIES RADIO MYSTERY
 AKIN ID LIGHT
ITALIAN SCIENTIST FASHION ING KEY TO FIT LOCK
 TO MYSTERIES

LONDON, May 13. (P)-Guglielno Marconi, the Italian scientist who has unlocked many of radoi's sec- crets, is fashioning another key which he hopes will fit the lock to still more mysteries-those of ultra short waves. Whether the key will be suitable, and if so what it will reveal, Mar conf, smiling, doesn't predict. But he says:
 Nothing is impossible"
 One gains the impression that Marconic feels radio may be on the threshold of another great era of development. But that sn't what he says.
 At the moment, in the light of what is known about them, he sees only limited possibilities for ultra short waves.
 They seem to have some of the properties of light waves" he explains. They cannot pass through Instructions, such as buildings, but they can pass thru fog, smoke, darkness.
 May Guide Ships in Fog
 Thus they may be useful in guiding ships and trains-tasks of tha nature. In fog a ship could put short-wave belt about itself, warning all other ships that come within that belt.
 The great obstacle is that they can be sent only for comparatively short distances. They do not seem practicable for commercial use over long distances. Certainly not from here to America, for exam ple."
 He sees some hope for the fu- ture in that some way may be found to bend" them.
