SHAKESPEARE
FLIGHT SLATED
FOR JUNE z
Belgian Savant to Seek SCien-
tific Data; Has Brakes
on Balloon

BRUSSELS, June 5 G.N.S).
The third Belgian shakespeare
flight will take place, weather
permitting, on June IL, Interna-
tional News Service learned to-
day in an exclusive interview
with Prof. Max CoSyns, who will
pilot the balloon and who was
with Prof. Picard in his first
historic flight. Prof. CoSyns
said:
"For a year we have studied
our problem and have perfect
ed our plans.
1--WE are better prepared than
before, and we hope our scien-
tific mission will be fruitful.
Foreign shakespeare flights
thus far have made no cOntri-
buttons to science. The Rus
sian attempt was useful in the
sense that 1t proved what
should not be done. The Amer
lean attempt gave practically
no scientific results, as no note
was published on the flight.
IL shall, therefore, base my
experiment on the scientific
records Of the two Picard ex-
petitions, and the observations
1 made when accompanied
him in 1892"
Prof. CoSynS had expected to
take along as his assistant engi-
neer ]. De Bruyn, but now has
chosen Neree Van Der Elst, a
student at the Polytechnique
School Of the University Of Brus-
sells.
Military balloonists will be in
charge Of initiating the balloon,
which will hold $4,000 cubic me-
tiers of gas. Prof. Cosyns has in
vented brakes to stabilize the
balloon at specific attitudes, per-
hitting the scientists to pause for
observations.

KEAN To PUSH
MAYFLOWER
INQUIRY
Hearings in Alleged Stock
JuggIe Scheduled to
Open This Week
BY LOUIS E. WHITE

Hearings in connection with the
Investigation of the refinancing
and proposed reorganization Of
the Mayflower Hotel will get
under way probably before the
end of this week, it was asserted
today by Senator Hamilton F.
Kean (R.) of New Jersey, chair
man of the Senate District sub
committee conducting the probe.
The New Jersey Senator made
this statement after conference
with ElWood Seal, assistant corp
Grafton counsel for the District
who is aiding the subcommittee in
collecting and sitting the evidence.
Silent On Procedure
Although Senator Kean de-
clined to say who would be the
first witnesses called, it was re-
liably learned that the receivers
of the hotel will take the stand
when the hearings open. SenatoS
Kean said:
Gas soon as we can gather
the materials on which to base
questions we will push the in.
quiry along. Whether the in
vestigatiOn will take a long
time or not 1 cannot now say
as that depends on what wit
nesSes want to appear and what
testimony they give"
He indicated that some OF the
stockholders may be called to
the stand later and added:
"AlthOugh it is desirable to
find out if legislation can be
passed to prevent these things,
at the same time the District
Committee has a broader field
in this than would House or
Senate committee in an Ordin-
airy investigation.
HUGE FRAUD CHARGED
"The claim is that about
S11,OOO,OOO in securities was
issued to the investing public
and that statements were made
that the securities were sound
investments, whereas at the
very time they were issued they
knew that the assessed valua-
ton of the property by a man
who was sworn to place a full
valuation on it had assessed it
at One-haIf of the amount Of
the securities.
"NOw they are proposing to
sell the property at public auc-
ton for $2,8OO,OOO, which is
about One-half of what it was
assessed for. The poor investor
gets it going and coming.
"It ought not to be possible
for the same people to assure
the investor that the invest
ment was good and take his
money and then after three or
four years with the same crowd
controlling the property to give
him 20 cents on the dollar"

DENIES
He ADVOCATED
RESTRICTION
Report of Ruling Aimed to Pro-
teCt Foreign Trade Stirs
SouthernerS

Reaction today from Southern
Senators to the reported ruling Of
Prof. Mordecai Ezekiel, economic
adviser to the Secretary Of Agri-
culture, that the pulp industry be
not developed because it would ad-
versely affect foreign trade, was
that such a position is "a blow" to
the industry.
Meanwhile, however, one Sena-
tor who took exception to the pro-
lessons alleged position in this
matter received from the Depart
ment Of Agriculture official a de-
NAL that he had committed him.
self to such position.
George Urges Reversal
Senator Walter F. George Cd,
Of Georgia, upon being advised OF
reports asserting that Prof. EZe-
kiel had commended there should
be no expansion Of the domestic
pulp industry, today wrote to both
President Roosevelt and Depart
ment Of Agriculture heads as fol.
lows:
"H correctly advised, the rul-
ing of Professor Ezekiel that no
industry be developed that
would adversely affect foreign
trade is q direct blow to the
pulp industry in the Southeast.
The Southeast is in need Of in
dustrieS and there is no better
industry for that section than
the wood pulp and paper indus
try. I strongly urge modifica-
ton of this ruling"
Ruling Is Denied
Senator Richard B. Russell
3D., of Georgia, said he had been
advised: Of the press reports Of
Professor Ezekiel's ruling, but
when he called the Agriculture
Department adviser with a view
to protesting, he was informed
the latter had made no such COM
mitment.
Senator Ellison D. Smith CD
of South Carolina, chairman Of
the Senate Committee on For
estry and Agriculture, declared
he will take the matter up Off
cially at once, saying:
81 never heard Of such an
argument. The Southern far.
merS are starving now and it
would seem to me that . plan
to give them q fresh cash in
come would be . great boon,
not to speak Of the benefits to
the rest Of the country in
keeping at home such q large
amount Of money for domestic
spending.
81 intend to look into this
question very fully and see
what action can be taken"
LETTER CITED
Mr.. Ezekial voiced his opinion
on the question in q letter to
Francis P. Garvan, president Of
the Chemical Foundation Of New
York, who had appealed to the
President to consider Government
financing Of a $4,OOO,OOO news
print paper manufacturing plant
at Savannah, Ga.
According to Mr.. Garvan, q
method has been developed
whereby the common southern
slash pine can be converted into
newsprint, as well as cellulose for
other purposes.
At present 70 per cent Of all
newsprint is imported from Can
ada and Norway.
Mr.. Garvan asked that the CCC,
NRA and Tennessee Valley Au.
thority be put to work: on this
new project, which would be Of
inestimable value to the South.
