TRIP CONFIRMED
 WIND THEORY

San Francisco - (UP) - Con- firmation of his theory that q ma jority of the North American hur- ricanes and winds originate along the desolate Aloutlan islands of Alaska was claimed by Father Bernard J. Hubbard on his return from his 1888 Alaskan explora- tons.
 The "glacier priest" head of the geology department at tho Uni- versity of Santa Clara, said winds often reach velocity of more than 100 miles an hour along the 1900 miles of towering mountains in the Aleutian group.
 "The warm waters of the Japa- nese current and the icy streams of the polar region meet there," he said.
 Attempting to confirm his theo- rieS on eruption of volcanies, Father Hubbard travelled more than 1000 miles among the Alas kan peaks. He visited 20 major volcanoes and 200 smaller ones.
 Action of these volcanoes Is gradually lesgening," he said. VI expect them to flare into action in 1040 or 1941. l intend to be on the ground when this action takes place, to make observations and confirm my theories"
 The breeding place of storms Is a land of desolation, he said.
 Tn his attempt to climb Mount Shishaloin, a major peak of the group, 10O-mile gales blew him about. Six weeks time was con- sumed in reaching the 9,300-foot summit of the mountain.
 On the descent he was lost for hours in fog so dense there was no visibility.
 Mature plays strange tricks in the Arctic" he said. "For exam pie, on Akutan peak, which Is eternally covered by snow and Ice, our canned goods exploded when we tried to heat them in the river of boiling water that circles the base of the peak"

Negro Suspect in City, Girls
Murder Is Executed in
Tennessee.

John Thomas Shaw, Negro, ac-
quilted nearly decade ago of the
murder of Mrs. Helen Hager WHEEL

A letter to Morrlssey from Elkin

to his death in the electric chair at

expense.

was found the morning of Nov. 90
1928, at the Big Four overhead
crossing of the High School road.
Jewelry missing from the body
was traced to Shaw through find
ing part of it in a pawn shop and
the remainder in possession of a
Negro woman who said Shaw gave
it to her.

NEW YORK, July 1O.-Unflled
tonnage of the United States Cor
poration at the end of June showed
an increase of 1886 tons over the
previous month to 2,1O6,671 tons.
1t was the greatest steel backlog
since May of 1882 and is all the
more remarkable considering that
for the last three years June has
shown a decrease from the previous
month.
Private estimates of the steel
backlog had been bullish but none
had exceeded a 1OO,OOO-ton increase
over May
The untitled tonnage at the close
of May was 1,929,815 tons. The low
