kins' submarine Nautilus was
pushing northward through pack
ice today, rapidly approaching the
point where it will dive under
the ice on the last lap Of the

Dispatches told of the submer-

Bottom has been found at some

An attempt to humiliate Gov
ernor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsyl-
vania was seen here today as the
explanation for President Hoover'S
treatment of the Governors open
letter to Mr.. Hoover asking for a
special session of Congress to deal
with unemployment relief.
White House tactics have been
to ignore the PinchOt letter, thus
attempting to classify it on a par
with publicity seeking cOmmunica-
ti0nS addressed to the President
from time to time by persons who
have no other object in mind than
getting their views into the news
papers.
Early in the Hoover Admin
stration it was announced that
letters to the President made pub
lie by the Senders would not re-
ceive the courtesy Of an acknowl-
edgment. This was to discourage
the practice Of using the White
House as sounding board for as
sorted publicity schemes.
No White House Comment
So far as is known this course
is being pursued with respect to
the Pinchot letter which was re-
ceived more than a week ago.

SURPLUS
GRAIN TOPO0R

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-That
some of the vast surplus Of wheat
now on hand be used for distribu-
ton to the poor and unemployed,
and how it could be used effec-
lively. without milling, to provide
a satisfying and appetizing food,
was suggested yesterday by DR..
Ernest H. Lines, chief medical di.
rector Of the New York Life In
surance Company. He asserts:
'Wheat is one Of the. most
highly nutritive foods known to
man and when cooked whole
and served with the addition Of
a little sugar and fat, as in
milk or butter, is very paIatabIe.
A pound or two Of wheat per
day per person prepared in this
way furnishes q pretty Well.bal-
anced food sufficient for sub
siStence. ~
Besides, such a meal would
be filling, or as we sometimes
put it, will stick to the ribs
OF course, If some green vege-
tables or q little fruit could be
added, SO much the better"
The complete cost of each meal
Of whole wheat cereal with but.
ter or milk and sugar, especially
if prepared In central kitchens
or in quantity, said DIR. Lines,
would be only a few cents, rep
resenting a minimum cost for q
balanced ration containing a
proper number Of calories and
vitamins. At present market
prices, the wheat itself would cost
less than / cent a pound, less
than 2 cents per person for a
days supply Of three meals.

that their only answer to in,
quirieS is there Is no comment
to make"
It is unusual for President to
ignore a formal communication
from the governor of a State, al
though President Hoover came
close to such procedure recently
in his handling of the letter from
Gov. Franklin Roosevelt, Of New
York, asking about the status, of
negotiations with respect to the
st. Lawrence Waterways. The
Roosevelt letter, which finally
drew a very informal reply from
Acting Secretary of State Castle,
was not made public by the gov
ernor until after the quasi-reply
had been received.
Reed In Michigan
While the White House has
seemingly ignored the PinchOt
letter there was a reply which
might be taken as expressing the
Administration viewpoint. That
was the statement issued in the
name of Senator David A. Reed
CRD Pennsylvania, declaring
Pennsylvania is well able to take
care of her own unemployed and
opposing an extra session of Con-
greSS.

Held Intent of Hoover In
Ignoring Pinchot Letter

this statement was issued. it was
distributed through his office
here after his secretary had
called at the Executive Offices
which led to the impression the
Senator might be reflecting the
Administration views. Whether
Governor Pinchot is expected to
consider Reeds statement to the
newspapers as a reply to his let.
ter to the President is not clear.
Governor Pinchot is a member
Of the Republican Progressive
group which is endeavoring to
bring on an extra session in
which there, will be an attempt
to put through legislation for
direct Federal aid for the UNI
employed. There has been q
long standing coolness between
him and the President and there
have been hints that the gov.
ernor may endeavor to corral the
Pennsylvania delegation to the
next Republican National Con-
vention which would amount to
direct attempt to prevent Mr..
Hoover's denomination.
It is considered a coincidence
that the Presidents recent diff
ficultieS growing out Of letters to
him by governors have involved
two men who may contest with
him for the Presidency in 1882.

IN TOKYO
Colonel Tells Japanese U. S. Is
interested in North Pacific
Route for Air Mail Planes

TOKYO, Aug. 26 (IN.S0.
Recovering from the effects Of
the most uproarious welcome ever
extended by the Japanese public
to any foreign visitors, Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh sur
.veyed the practical side Of their
vacation flight to the Orient this
afternoon and predicted that
possibly within three years" re-
gular air mail service would be
established between America and
Japan.
The Lindberghs granted an
interview after they had reached
the home Of DR.. II. b. TeuSler,
their temporary Tokyo host, but
before they got there they had to
battle their way through 10 miles
Of streets jammed with cheering
japanese.
100000 Swell Cheers
It was estimated that at least
100000 residents of Tokyo turned
out to greet the visiting fliers,
lining the entire route from the
Kasumigaura Naval Air Station.
where the LindberghS landed
after the last lap of their flight
from Nemuro.
Standing three deep on the side
walks and in the street, the crowd
waved Japanese and American
flags and roared thundero6s
"banzais!" the Japanese cheer of
welcome and adulation, as the
Lindberghs rode through the
streets to the center Of the
capital.
FOreSeeS Air Mail
Discussing his flight, Colonel
Lindbergh said:
"The radio is invaluable in
the North Pacific" particularly
on those recent fOggy days over
the hazardous Kurile Islands.
America is interested in this
route for air-mail purposes. L
think it will be possible to carry
out those plans with large air
planes equipped with good radio
sets to enable complete radio
reports"
Death May Mar Fete
The eagle and his wife smiled
in return and shook hands with
the looming committee.
Escorted to the microphone set
up nearby, he radioed his greet
ings to Japan.
He had no sooner finished
speaking than the announcer
gave the news of the death of
former Premier Hamaguchi, who
was shot by an assassin last
November. The death of the
premier may interfere with the

neck could not have been
sustained in one fall.
Her Son, 1S, Sought
AuthoriNes announced that
they were seeking the woman's 18-
year-old son, William.
They believe he will throw
light on the mystery" deaths.
Mrs. VereS was SulIen and silent

AS is the case whenever officials anywhere permit selfish motives to sully sta tutes, mob revolt follows. Imple- ments from dainty polished femi- nine nails and hardly less polished and soaring feminine wits, to the bone-crushing power of man-brute hands and the reverberating blast of bulk-charge dynamite, are brought into play before gold-craz- ed men and their women-one kind or another-relax to the less chop py harbors of sane conclusions. Large Number of Extras Five hundred extras, the largest number ever taken on location Of this sort since the advent of sound pictures, were used by Paramount at its big camp and set at Point Hueneme, Cal rnia, for The Spoilers.
 | The set, mile long and quar- ter-mile wide, duplicated in every detail the boom town of Nome, as it was 30 years ago at the time of Rex Beach's classic story.

The General Manager of the AL aska Railroad, in writing to Sec retary of the Interior Wilbur on the activities of the railroad, among other things says: Ut seems that the merchants of Fairbanks and other points made haevy shipments, anticipating the increase in rates, which resulted in less traffic for the following months until the surplus had been consumed. The month of July, 1881, however, shows an increase in freight revenue of $20.0OO, or 29 per cent over July, 1930. The passenger revenue for the months of May, June and July, 1881. was about the same as for the preceding year The rates appear to have affected local more than tourist travel, although tour ists. are fewer this year. Some passengers formerly travelling by railroad are now using airplanes, bus lines and private cars, be- tween Fairbanks and the coast and some perishable freight is nov ing by truck from Valdez to Fair banks"

DELEGATE WILL SPONSOR BILL
 FOR AIR MAIL
Plans to Introduce Measure for Air M all Route
 from U. 5. to Asia

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. "A Special Correspondence)-Delegate Wickersham is interested in estab- fishing a new air mail route be- tween the United States and Asia, which seems perfectly feasible since the Lindberghs and Post and Gatty blazed the trails in their recent successful flights. A bill for the establishing of route to join the two continents by air mail will likely be introduced by the Dele gate in the next Congress, with the expectation of having these celebrated fliers appear before Con- gresslonal committees to outline their experiences in Asiatic flying. A recent issue of one of the Washington afternoon newspapers in referring to the proposed effort of the Delegate to have new air mail service established quoted him at some length, and among other things said:
 "The air route is not as hazard ous as many believe; certainly it is not as hazardous as flight across the North Atlantic Ocean. The great circle route from Europe 70 Asia cuts right through Alaska. It is easy to reach Alaska, and flying already is firmly and safely estab- lished there.
 If Boring Strait is crossed at Wales, northwest of Nome, there is an ocean flight of but 56 miles on the entire aerial journey to Asia and Europe. There are sev- eral routes through Asia. While Lindbergh could have flown entire ly above land, he hopped from Nome to Cape Naravi1, and then skirted the Siberian coast.
 "A direct route, which involved much ocean flying. also was taken by Post and Gatty. In Asia the route could follow the Siberian Rail- road into Northern and Central Europe, or it might cut through the Kurile Islands to Japan"
