be unfavorable.
We are still under the glamor of oul
flight over the Baltic Sea to Leningrad
During that part of our journey. the
land and sea below as seen from tho
Graf appeared almost fairy-like.
Comdr. Eckener steered our flying
laboratory north by east. After passing
lovely East Gotland, leaving behind us
Aroe, the northernmost point, we
shaped our course out over the Baltic,
turning eastward over the Gulf Of Fin
land.
Early yesterday afternoon we flew
over Reval, the capital of the potato
republic" as the Russians call the little
state of Esthonia. Then We crossed
over the gulf to the old city OF Helsing-
fors, the capital of Finland, where the
bathing beaches on the outskirts of the
city looked like outlying islands of the
Finnish Skerries.
All of us were thrilled by the en-
chanting beauty of the scene below. 1t

Helsingfors lay beneath us like a
dream city, ringed with miniature forts
that looked as though they were armed
with toy guns, served by toy soldiers.
Over City of Narva.
Flying east, a little to the south. We
passed over the Russian frontier city of
Narva, crossing the Russo-Esthonian
border, and followed the railroad line
from Narva to Leningrad.
A huge red triumphal arch appeared
to rise suddenly from the ground, and
there we saw two tiny sentry houses
one blue and white, the Esthonian col
ors, and the other red, the Russian
color. I do not know what the arch
signifies, but its proximity to the Estho-
MAN border, close to the blue-white
Esthonian sentry box, made 1t marked
feature in the landscape.
Two big Soviet military planes, each
manned by eight men, met us at the
frontier. Cheering and waving hand
kerchiefs, these aviators accompanied

KELLOGG ON WAY
HERE TOCONFER ON
HENDERSON WILL
Move May Be First in Fight
to Break Final of Six
Documents Left.
PREVIOUSLY ASKED
STUDY BY COUNSEL
Battle Creek Sanitarium, of Which
Visitor Is Head, Among
Benefciaries.

What may be the first move IN the
expected legal battle to break the last
will of Mrs. Mary F. Henderson, wealthy
dowager, was foreseen today in the
announcement that DR.. John Harvey
kellogg of the Battle Creek Sanitar-
ium was on his way to Washington
for a conference with counsel who have
made study at his request Of the six
wills left by Mrs. Henderson.
DR.. Kellogg whose sanitarium was
the principal beneficiary under one OF
the wills, was expected to arrive here
today.
Announcement Likely.
DR.. Kellogg is expected to go i'm
mediately into conference with his at
torneys. After this conference an an
nouncement probably will be made as
to what steps, if any, he will take to
contest Mrs. Henderson's last will,
which makes no provision for the sani-
tarium.
Although it has been expected that
Mrs Beatrice Who'ean, reputed grand
daughter of Mrs. Henderson, would be
to break the will, her attorney, H.
Prescott Galley, said she has not as
yet discussed the matter with him.
DR.. Kellogg. it was pointed out, may
decide not to attack the WILL but 1t
was generally believed he would instruct
his attorney to proceed Immediately.
Gift to Biology.
Under Mrs. Henderson's will of July
10. 1927 virtually her entire estate was
left to Dr. Kellogg's Battle Creek SAM
spreading of biological ideas"
Throughout the will Mrs. Henderson
was lavish in her praise of DR.. Kel-
logg's work and ideas. It was generally
known that she attributed her long life
in large measure to strict adherence to
rules of living similar to those Spon-
sored by Dr. Kellogg.
Any attempt by DR.. Kellogg to break
the last will, it was believed, must of
necessity be based on the theory that,
because of her advanced age and ILL
ness, she was not competent in 1881
to make a valid will. The will leaving
pointed out, was made four years
earlier.
Contrast Of Interests.
Mrs Wholean, it has been contended,
may attack the will on the theory
that Mrs. Henderson, under the terms
of the wills of her son and husband,
could not legally bar the grand
daughter from participating in the
estate. The case for the sanitarium,
however, it was said, must rest upon
and entirely different premise. namely,
the possibility that Mrs. Henderson
might not have been capable in 1881
of executing a valid will.
If both Mrs. Wholean and DR..
Kellogg should contest the 1881 will,
their interests would be antagonistic
If either is successful In breaking the
will, their respective claims might we'll
result in second court battle, with the
scientist and granddaughter opposing
each other, it was pointed out.
The 1881 will. after q 100000 be-
quest to Jesse Shima, Mrs. Henderson S
japanese secretary. and other small be-
guests, leaves the bulk of the estate to
Frances and Henry Arnold of New York
City, niece and nephew Of the society
leader.

ton, The Star learned today.

Government from unofficial sources
The sworn statement was sought after
the former policeman had accused
certain Federal and District officials"
OF corruption In a letter addressed to
Representative Thomas L. Blanton of
Texas. A copy of the letter was sent
here from Kentucky by an anonymous
person. Schenck previously had made
somewhat similar accusations in an I'M
signed statement which he typed at the
District Jail in 1929.
The Bureau of Investigation, of which
J. Edgar Hoover is director, is confin-
ing its inquiry to specific charges
against member Of the district at
torney's office. The bureau has no au-
thority to investigate the statements
Schenck has aimed at high police OFF,
Gals, as the latter are not Federal
officers.
Several members of the Police De-
partment were questioned today by bu-
reau agents, 1t was learned. The list of
persons to be interviewed is said to be
long one, including numerous police
men who have been engaged In vice and
prohibition raids, proprietors of alleged
resorts" and others. Most of these are
expected to be called to face the grand
jury.
Court Writ Obtained.
/. Meanwhile, Acting United States At
torney John w. FINELY today secured
from Justice o. r. Luhring writ Of
habeas corpus ad testificandum for the
appearance before the grand jury of
Schenck
The writ Is directed to Edgar c.
Snyder, United States marshal for the
District, and Thomas B. White, warden
Of the Leavenworth Penitentiary, and
directs them to have Schenck before
the grand jury at the appointed time.
Finely told the court in his petition
of the tendency of the inquiry before
the grand jury and that Schenck is
serving q I sentence at Leavenworth
prison as United States prisoner. He
also pointed out that he is informed
and believes that Schenck will testify
to material facts concerning the
testimony will relate to facts, circum-
stances and conditions of which he
alone is capable Of testifying.
