 Miss Millette," the young brother said, had nothing what ever to do with Paul's death. She was in the west, registered under her own name in a San Francisco hotel which she left when she re- served passage on boat TOT Sacramento"
 ships officers discovered, how ever, that Miss Nillette never oc- cupied the berth reserved for her and registered in her name. They found the room in disorder, her clothing scattered. They ex. pressed the opinion that the girl who once lived in New York as Mrs. Paul Bern" had leaped naked into the water.

FALL LOSES
 LAST CHANGE

Federal Parole Board Re- fuses to Shorten
 Prison Sentence

 WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. g. Albert B. Fall yesterday lost his last hope for freedom before the end of his sentence for accepting a $100,000 bribe from E. L. Doheny when the Federal Parole Board de- clined to shorten the imprisonment of the former Secretary of Inter- for. The members of the board issued a statement saying such ac- tion would be 'unjustifiable and incompatible with the welfare of society,"
 Fall is confined in the New Mex ico State Prison.
 Mrs. Jouett Elliott, Falls daugh- ter, said the family had been pre- pared for such decision through reports of friends here.
 Fall is the only one who has been convicted in oil land lease scandals of the Harding Admin istration. His year sentence ends on May 8 but the $100.000 fine is unpaid yet. Should the fine remain unpaid. Fall must serve an extra 30 days and then must take the pauper's oath to be re- leased.

Compton WW Hunt Secret : of Cosmic Ray; Worldwide
 Study from High Mountains;
 Expedition Comes to Alaska

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 3.-A world wide expedition bent on discover ing the baffling secret of the cos mic ray will be undertaken this year by Dr. Arthur H. Compton Professor of Physcs atthe Univer- sity of Chicago, Nobel prize win ner in 1927 and distinguished for his research in this field Lofty mountain ranges scattered around the earth will be scaled for studies by physicists in a two-year survey directed by Dr. Compton.
 Prefssor Compton intends to find out what the cosmic rays consist oi and where they come from, whether from the sun or from intergalactial space, hundreds of millions o1 light years from the earth.
 He will start in March on a six months expedition to Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii and Alaska to continue experiments al- ready begun in the Rockies and in the Alps. Three other cooperate ing expeditions will be organized for a world survey, one in South America, another in South Africa and third in the Hin1alayan Mountains.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-02-03

The work is made possible by a grant from the Carnegie Founda- tion.
 Measurements of the rays will be taken in standard ionization cham bers at eighteen widely distributed stations and at heights varying from 1000 to 10000 feet. North and South polar expeditions will also carry the measuring instruments.
 "A survey such as this" said Pro- lessor Compton, should give the most adequate test that has yet been devised to distinguish whether the cosmic rays are photons, as are light and x-rays or electrons such as give rise to the earth's aurora.
 Geographic Location
 Because of the effect of the earth's magnetic field electrons should give less intense rays near the Equator than near the Pole. Likewise if the cosmic rays have their origin in the earth's atmos- phere there should presumably be variations with the geographic To- cation.
 The cosrnic rays are a type of radiation that strikes the earth

 Dr. Bevan said large number of doctors are unable to resist the temptation of selling prescriptions. Some doctors, Dr. Bevan stated. are selling a whole quota for $100 yearly and this makes sit possible for doctor to make $l 200 a year.
 Out of 100000 medical men in the United States, half of them make legitimately less than $2,500 a year, Dr. Bevan said.

CHILE UNCOvERS
 VIDE RED PLOT ON WEST COAST
Government Seizes Docu- ments Indicating Well-
 Laid Plans
Associlted Press Phofo
By HAROLD P. BRAMAN

SANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 3-Secret investigations, made after the sci zure of documents in communist headquarters in various cities have convinced the government that 6 genuine red plot to establish soviet republics on the west coast of South America still exists, despite the recent defeat of the extremists in northern Chile.
 The Government is making a cool, methodical study of the situ- ation and intends to present in full the ramifications of communist &C., tivity on this coast since early in 1881.
 The documents, it is learned, re- veal that the move to seize the government of Chile in the Sep temlber naval revolt was mere child's in comparison to the exist ing plots.
 It further is known that Chile has been the center of the coast agitation, with agents of the forces here operating in the neighbor- ing countries.
 Some doubt exists as to the exact source of the plans. While some documents, officials admit, were written in Montevideo, Uruguay, 1t is believed that other instructions came from Moscow. Proof is said to exist that since the failure of the naval revolt, explicit orders for future action were given out in the capital of the U.S.SiR.
 The Russian communists, 1t is explained, wished to gain foot hold in Chile first, because Of the nitrates and copper which would be very valuable to Russia. Then the move would be on to Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador.
 One person who was questioned, and who has wide influence among the youth of Chile, said flatly that Raul Haya de la T'orre, the Peru vian extremist, who has many fol- lowers in northern Chile, is work ing with the communists in the youth movement along the coast Officials had been assured pre- viously that Haya de la Tore was not a communist.
 Communism in Chile is under control of two opposing factions Moscow is said to have tried to heal the breach by consolidating the groups under new leadership The attempt failed because the ri- val group leaders detest each other
