NAPLES, Italy, Aug. ID. (UP).
A plan to utilize heat from the
fiery depths of Mount Vesuvius
to warm the, buildings of Naples
will be studied by scientific ex-
petition proceeding to the crarter
of the famous old volcano.
The scientists believe they can
discover a practical method for
Harvesting the terrific heat from
the bottom of the crater whence
for centuries great rivers OF lava
and ashes have flowed over the
countryside, spreading death and
destruction in its path. =,
The daring Group was named
by the national council OF re-
search to descend into the crater,
quite temporarily, and make a
survey of its SCARED interior.
They will study.

tube Of the Volcano which ex-
tends down into, the earth's IN

Second, The depths from which

The study of the central tube
was regarded of primary impor!-
lance. One theory is that it is
curved, causing the lava to block
up until, under terrific pressure,
it explodes, flooding over the
crater and down across the plains,
sweeping everything in its path,
as it did in 70 BE-, when Pom
peii, Herculaneum and StaDlae
were destroyed.
Hope is raised that science
may be able to utilize this force
which has caused such tremend-
Gus destruction for generations:
They hope to find a way OF
transferring the heat to central
heat stations for distribution.

RELIEF POLICY
WILL SOON Be

Roosevelt Studies Situation
and Some Immediate
Steps Planned
POLITICS BANNED in
RELIEF ACTIVITIES

WASHINGTON, Aug. ID. CUP
President Roosevelt offered in
creased federal relief for the
drought ravaged west today.
Recognizing that the nation is
beset by a major calamity the
chief executive summoned relief
officials to the White House and
outlined a hard-hitting program
for succoring the sun-blighted
areas. y
He directed Aubrey Williams,
acting federal emergency relief
administrator, to begin immediate
purchase of surplus fodder and
fruit crops. The fodder will be
distributed to hundreds of thous-
ands of starved cattle.
The fruit will be canned, and
with millions of pounds of meat
and other foods, will be distribut-
ed to the impoverished this fall
and winter as bitter weather in
tensifies. the need for relief.
Further details were not imme-
diately revealed but the president
went over the situation thorough
ly with Williams and Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace.
On leaving the White House
Wallace said Mr.. Roosevelt has a
clear picture of the emergency
and that within the week the ex-
ecutive may enunciate a definite
relief policy.
Meantime the agriculture ad-
justment administration will
guard the nation against food
profiteering. There is no food
shortage. Administration officials
repeatedly have said this. But the
drought has destroyed billions of
dollars worth of crops, food prices
are going up, and food boarding
is reported.
The AAA will stand by to see
that prices don't go too high. If
they do, the gougher will be
smashed.
President Roosevelt has issued
no public utterance in this connec-
tion but he is known to have an
intense distaste for those who
prey on the public in times of dis
aster and is thoroughly in accord
with the AAA's program.
Also the chief executive made
it plain yesterday, Williams said,
that politics has not and will have
no place in relief activities. This
was indirect answer to politicians
in some states who have insisted
the patronage system be invoked
in handling out relief jobs.
Williams said that in carrying
out Mr.. Roosevelt's new relief Or
ders the FERA will buy SURPRISES
which normally go to waste. He
cited California orchards as an
example. There, when market
prices are low, thousands of tons
of fruit drop to. the ground and
rot. These probably will be pur-
chased.
Fodder such as, hay and alfalfa
will be acquired in lots as small as
a carload Much of it may be con-
served until the winter months
when, with snow covering the
ground, natural forage is unavail-
able.
The livestock situation is one
of the most acute confronting re-
lief officials. Thousands of cattle
have died from starvation. More

TOKYO, Aug. 14.-(UP).-
Breach of negotiations between
Moscow and Tokyo for sale OF
Russia's interest in the Chinese
Eastern railway precipitated a
new crisis in tense Russo-Japa-
nese relations yesterday,
The railway crosses Manchu-
kuo, Japanese-controlled state and
formerly was owned jointly by
Russia and China. Manchukuo
seized the Chinese interest and
sought to purchase the Russian
portion.
The negotiators failed to reach
an agreement on price and the
Manchukuo delegation announced
their departure was booked for
Thursday.
Chuichi Ohashi, vice-minister
for foreign affairs in Manchukuo,
head of their delegation, said he
was ready to return to Tokyo to
continue the conversations any
time Moscow reduced the price.
The breakup followed a lengthy
conference between the Soviet
ambassador, Konstantin Yurenev,
and 0hashi. Little came of the
meeting, and, as forecast by the
United Press, Ohashi announced
the Manchukuo delegation would
90 home before the end of the
week.
Bitterness has developed on
both sides during the futile par
leys under the supervision IF
Tokyo. A Russian official of the
c. E. R.-a strategic railway in
north Manchuria owned jointly
by Russia and Manchukuo-blunt-
ly charged that bandi&ry and other
forms of terrorism along the line

Goering referred to recent
statement by Stanley Baldwin,
acting prime minister Of Crest
Britain, in parliament, that Bri-
tain's frontier is now on the

"If statesmen no longer recog-
nize political frontiers as the

curity," Goering said, 1--WE should
be excused If we, too, think OF
security frontiers"
Referring to Austria. Goering
added: "Close to this city lives q

NEW YORK. Aug. ID. (UP)-
A traveller in the far east and in
Siberia hears many reports about
the concentration of troops on
both sides of the Manchurian-
Soviet border but it is impossible
in a hasty trip to verify any of
these. For example, l was told in
Mukden that the Soviets have
100000 troops along the Soviet
frontier from Manchui east. On
the other hand, I heard in Mos
cow that the Soviets have only
about 100000 men along that
frontier. I heard in Hardin that
Japan has ten divisions of $4,000
men each in Manchuria and in ST.
IBERIA I heard that Japan has over
100000 men in Siberia. Apparent
ly what you heard depends on
where you are when you hear it.
During the trip by rail through
Manchuria and Siberia last month,
soldiers were in evidence on both
sides of the frontier in every sta
ton through which our train pass
ed. In Manchuria, from Shan
Hai-Kuan, at the end of the Great
Wall, northward, Japanese and
Manchukuo soldiers in arms were
in evidence at every station
through which the train passed.
From Hardin to the Manchurian
border at Manchuli. At each sta
ton armed soldiers were on the
platforms. Usually, in the middle
of each platform was a squad of
