Approximately 300 candidates will
answer his call to arms this Fall, but
cold figures point to nothing but an
interesting team of juniors with a lot
of fire and not lot of experience.
Big Winner Not Expected.
AIOTRE DAME doesn't expect a
big winner this Fall from Lay
den, who has had his share of
troubles already with bad breaks, in
eligibilities and the stunning death
of Johnny "Tex" Young, his key man
of the backfield, but the team of mostly
juniors should develop fast, lose three
or four games probably because of
weakness in the line, and make a
successful season out of it with a
brilliant finish.
Graduation took 13 lettermen while

F|DANQUE K|DNAP
STORY IS DOUBTED
Police Say Los Angeles
Woman May Be Victim
of Amnesia.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. June 25.-Federal
authorities, expressing doubt OF Mrs.
Sibyl Fidanque's story that she had
been kidnapped, advanced the theory
today that the singer may have been
an amneSia victim.
Mrs. Fidanque, who claimed she
was abducted at San Jose by man
named Jim and a woman called
Maize and taken to Ell Paso, was pale
and trembling as her train brought
her here from El Paso. She clung to
the arm of her son, Jack Ffdanque.
Department of Justice agents con-
fronted her with Mrs. Eva Schurr,
Santa Monica beauty parlor operator,
who identified Mrs. Fidanque as the
woman who spent six hours in the
beauty parlor last Monday having her
black hair dyed a deep copper color.
Police Chief Dan Black of San Jose
previously had said he believed Mrs.
Fidanque left there voluntarily.
She is scared to DEATH" her son
said. Something awful has hap
pened and I don't know what it's all
about.
Mother actually doesn't know
what happened to her. It's all blur.
She remembers a man and a woman
coming to the house in San Jose. but
after that she doesn't know what
happened. We don't know whether
she was drugged or not"

Cosmic Rays.
BY the Associated Press.

RAPID CITY, S. Oak, June 25.-
Progress toward that elusive goal of
atom-may result from the National
Geographic Society Army Air Corps
stratosphere flight expected to start
near here during the first half of
July.
DR.. w. F. G. Swami, director of the
Bartol Research Foundation, Swarth-
more, Pa, and member of the Scien-
tific Committee cooperating in the
flight, today described plans to probe
secrets of the atomic structure by re-
cording activities of the mysterious
cosmic rays.
Careful Recording Needed.
BY carefully recording the actions
of cosmic rays, and studying what
appear to be explosions" of atoms or
at least violent encounters between
atoms and cosmic rays. DR.. Swami
and his associates hope to learn more
of the atom, its composition and con-
troll.
Assisting him are DR.. G. L. Locker
and Dr. C. G. Montgomery Of the
Bartol staff.
In the protected bowl in the Black
Hills from which Maj. William E.
Kepner and Capt. Albert w. Stevens
will take off, perhaps shortly before
or after July 10. technicians are as
sembling the most elaborate instru-
mentS ever devised to study cosmic
rays.
Ingenious instruments Used.
Delicate electroscopes designed to
record rays of varying intensity will
be installed in the gondola, as will in
genious coSmic ray counters" never
heretofore used successfully in strato-
sphere.
Because heavy air absorbs cosmic
rays of power energy which are of
particular Importance to DR.. Swann's
project, better results can be obtained
in the stratosphere.
officials announced yesterday that
preparations will not be complete
until probably July 8. The exact flight
date will be determined by weather

BROTHER AYERS
He HAD No
MONEY
Father Says He Was Wealthy;
U. S. Detective En- Route
To Germany for Probe

LEIPZIG, Sept. "a O.N.S0.
Pinkus Fisch, brother of Bruno
Hauptmann's deceased "alibi" in
the Lindbergh ransom case, was
back from a business trip today
with a story that added further
confusion to the question: Was
the late Isidor Fisch a poor man
when he turned up in Leipzig last
December, or did he have a mys'
teriouS source of affluence?
Pinkus Fisch, "a, Square-shoul-
dered, healthy contrast to his
coughing brother, told 1nterna-
tional News Service:
"Isidore never gave me any
money.
"He must have had bad luck
In the United States. At his
request 1 once sent him $1OO,
but he never paid me back"
Pinkus' account of ISidor'S
want of funds tallies in most re-
spects with the stories Of his
brother, Paul, who also said that
Isidor was in debt when he died,
and of his sister, Hannah.
Father Disputes Story
Solomon Fisch, father Of the
family, made an entirely differ
snt statement to international
News Service:
From 1882 on IsidOr sup
ported Pinkus and Hannah.
This enabled Hannah to fur
nish q new three-rOOm apart
ment, and Pinkus to move from
his obscure and small fur shop
TO q big establishment"
But Pinkus insisted:
'sIt is absolutely impossible
that my brother should have
loaned any money to Haupt-
mann. If he had had any
money he would have given it
to me to invest in my business.
"The idea of exhuming my
brothers body is ridiculous. The
cause Of his death is perfectly
clear. have the death certifi-
cate signed by the doctor who
treated him for several months,
stating that he died of tubercu-
1Osis Of both lungs"
Isidor had told him that he
placed great trust in Bruno Haupt-
mann, PinkuS said, declaring:
"He said he had left every
thing he owned in the United
States in Hauptmann's care.
Hauptmann should know my
brothers banking connections
and where the stock Of furs he
left in New York is.
WONDERED AT WEALTH
'"There is one thing, however,
that my brother wondered
about: According to IsidOr,
Hauptmann lived very modest
life, but suddenly he showed up
around 1892 with $4,000 Isl
dor asked him where he got so
much money. Hauptmann said
that he had won it in the stock
market, but IsidOr was puzzled,
because he knew that Haupt-
mann never Speculated."
Pinkus AYERS that Isidor had
only $500 marks when he came
back to Germany to die. Other
members of the Fisch family,
however, agree that he paid at
least 1000 marks to the doctor,
bought a new suit for $50 marks,
and gave his father $50 marks for
o new set of teeth, besides pay
ing a hospital bill.
Arthur Johnson, the New York
detective who is expected here to
work on German angles of the
case, has not arrived from Vienna.
Frau Pauline Hauptmann,
mother of the accused man, is
so worried over Bruno's arrest
that she packed hurriedly and
left the small town of Kamenz
and went to Dresden to talk
things over with another son,
Fritz, who is tailor there.

The wave of influenza that has

There has been an incidence of
respiratory infections during the

The influenza is not of the type
that scourged the country in
1918, he said, but the prevalence
of pneumonia cases has occurred
earlier this winter than is usual.
I'VE do not expect that any
pneumonia history will be estab-
