NAME FOR BABY
STUMP L|NDY
BY DOROTHY DUCAS
Copyright. 1882

ENGLEWOOD, N. j., Sept. 3
G.N.SO The Lindbergh baby still
is without a name.
Eighteen days after his birth,
the little fellow is called anony-
mously baby" and his parents,
Colonel and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh, are as far from hav-
ing decided on christian name
for him as they were on All
gust 16.
Then they were very much sur
prised to be the parents of an
other little boy, it was learned
today. They had been so sure
the second child would be a girl
whom they would call Anne after
her mother that they were caught
without any suggestions for a
boys name.
The much-discusSed probability
of calling the child Charles, the
name of the first little boy who
was kidnapped and murdered, has
never teen entertained by the
Lindberghs, close friend said.
AS for Dwight Morrow Lind
bergh." after the late father of
Mrs. Lindbergh, that, too, would
bring grief to the members of the
family, who are still mourning
the Senator's sudden death, it
was said
The new Lindbergh boy looks
remarkably like the first child,
friends say. He is chubby, happy,
healthy with wisps of darkish
hair and infant-blue eyes. Charlie
Lindbergh had dark hair, when
he was born, but it grew out and
blond curls took its place.

ON MARS
CALLED SIGNAL .

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 3
GN.SO.-People of Mars-of
higher intelligence than mere
earthlings-have been sending
signals for some time in an eff.
fort to communicate with the
earth.
This was the assertion today of
Prof. William H. Pickering, for
mer Harvard astronomer, as
members of the International AS
Economical Congress gathered in
convention.
Markings on the planet changed
when Mars was nearest the earth
to a five-pointed star, a probable
attempt at communication, Pro-
fessor Pickering said.
An indication of the engineer
ing achievements of the Mar
tians, according to the scientist,
was one marking 1000 miles long
and five miles wide, which may
be a huge canal built for irriga-
ton purposes.
Conditions on the planet are
all conducive to inhabitants, he
declared. The temperature is
similar to that on earth, the air
not much different, and there is
proof vegetable life exists.

The British challenger's Miss
England III appeared hopelessly

ately held the America a mile

CLEVELAND, Sept. 3 G.N.S.).
Major James H. Doolittle, of

Doolittle wasn't satisfied with
-four laps. He continued to run
his stubby, Wasp-powered Gee
Bee esuper-sportster back and
forth before the grand stand.
On his fifth lap he hit 3O6 800
miles an hour. On his sixth the
speed was 286.156.
At the end of the six laps,

Gar Wood Annexes First
Heat in Speed Classic

Then, with tremendous burst
of speed, the Miss America lifted
her nose out of the choppy sea
and thundered down the course.
The space between the two
boats disappeared in a few Sec
onds. The Miss America, a black
stream at the head of cloud of
spray, caught the British boat
and passed her.
For a few seconds more the mag
nificent burst of speed continued.
Woods lead widened to mile,
then to a mile and a half.
And then the thunder of the Miss
Americas exhaust died down,
the speed slackened. and Wood
leisurely proceeded to the finish
line and victory.
Don, the race lost, throttled
down and came in slowly, his
famous smile for once obscured
in the gloom of unexpected de-
feat.
Wood said:
ut all went off just as I ex-
pected. I'm glad to have won
for America, and want to
say the boat performed per.
fectly."

words:

turning, he added:

cessfully transmitted by television
from Chelmsford to Sydney,
Australia, 1000 miles away, to-
day after two years of secret ex-
perimentS carried out under the
direction of Marconi engineers.
A tiny wooden hut here housed
the apparatus set up at this end.
The messages were written with
an Observation-Disclosures type

tape which passed through the
televiSion transmitter.
On the receiving end, the
messages appeared on an elong-
ated screen at a maximum Of 120
words per minute.
The system is said to be free
from jamming due to atmospheric
conditions.
Engineers now are working on
the details of an automatic
recording apparatus to preserve
copies of the messages after they
are received.

FUSION FOES
CONFRONT
WALKER
'Vindication' Plan Faces Fight
In Courts and at Polls;
Ruling Due Today

NEW YORK, Sept. 3 I.N.S.) },
While former Mayor James j
Walkers friends in Tammany
Hall were paving the way for
him to seek reelection in No
vember, stiff lines of opposition
began to form today with the
avowed intention of keeping
him in permanent retirement
Out of the political chaos which
has developed there emNged con-
siderable talk that independent
Democrats and Republicans would
unite on a fusion candidate to
oppose Walker in the event he
cannot be stopped in the courts
from running on mayoralty
ticket in the present "off" year.
Civic Groups Unite +
Civic organizations which backed
Samuel Seabury in his battle
against Walker in recent months
were lining up to test the le-
gality of a mayoralty election
this fall.
BY court action they hope to
prevent the ex-mayor from sub
mitting his case to "the supreme
authority, the people"
Thus Walker, now recuperating
from the strain of his long battle
with Seabury, faces three hurdles
in his fight for vindication."
He must get the support of the
five Democratic leaders of the
counties comprising New York
City; he must overcome litigation,
and he must be physically fit to
run.
Opinions At Odds
Opinions among lawyers who
specialize in political law we're far
from unanimous on the question
of whether Walkers resignation
created a vacancy in the office
which must be filled at special
election in November.
City Clerk Michael j. Cruise, a
Tammany district leader. has de-
clared, however. that such va
cancy exists, thus preparing the
way for a mayoralty election,
which Tammany is determined to
hold November 8.
Yet one Democratic leader, John
H. McCooey, OF Brooklyn. threw
an element of uncertainty into
the Tammany plan by asserting

Col. George Hutchinson, of Bal.

take his family across the At

the course of his flight over
Greenland if necessary to meet
objections raised by the Danish
government, it was announced
today by Hubert Malkus, his New
York representative.
Advices from Copenhaven had
stated that the Danish govern
ment instructed Greenland au-
thorities to supply no gas to the
flying family" who arrived at
Godthaab, Greenland, last night
from Labrador.
Only government gasoline is
available and it was thought
that meant the cad of Hutchin-
sons journey.
Hopes For Adjustment
Denmark controls Greenland.

points on Hutchinson's line of
flight.
Malkus said he had taken the
matter up with the State Depart
ment, making formal application
for a Greenland landing, and he
hoped the difficulty would be
quickly adjusted.
Originally, application had been
made for permission to land in
