 The Irish and American contest 10 hold the interest of the evening with Wee Willie Carroll pressing IWill Tato at will. Both anchor men furnished several hundred specta- tors with many thrills in the sec- Dnd setup, each garnering a twin Btruke and three successive spares. The canto ended with both chop ping in the final pair of boxes. Carroll totaled 147 while his more experienced rival had two less. The Italians sopped the duke however by a score of 615, 606. The 25S Yelled by Louie Piedmonte, 362 by Mike Chisti and 343 of Nick White all went for naught after the open- er had been awarded by the Brook lynites. Johnny Gudonis and Eddie Loftus pinned with brilliance for St Patricks in addition to the feats of Carroll.

FIGHTING Billiards AND COLD.
BYRD PARTY ENDS LONG TREK

LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica,
March 81 Delayed) R.-(via Mac
kay radio)-Back from q month of
struggling in billiards and snowquakes,
the main Southern party Of the second
Byrd Antarctic Expedition came rocket
ing down the slope to Little America
today.
Behind three nine-dog husky teams,
they had ridden their canvas-topped
sledges across the rolling ice barrier,
$50 miles out and back, marking q
trail with orange flags and putting
down food depots so that next Spring
trek can be made to the Edsel Ford
and Queen Maude Ranges.
Capt. Alan Illness Taylor, formerly
OF the Royal FLYNN, Corps, in COM
mand of the expedition, described it as
probably the coolest March journey
in Antarctic annals. On the return
trip they kept a daily minimum tenn

means change in the electoral ma
chinery, reduction in the number of
deputies and shearing the legislative
branch of the government of por-
ton Of its present omnipotence in
favor of strengthened executive.
These are the conditions of the
war veterans. They threaten, If they
are not appli d by July /. to demand
the application of their own program,
recently formulated and apparently
modelled to surprising extent on the
infiationary aspects of the American
new deal"
Political experts think that the
government will take the hint and
begin to produce new results.

PARIS, France, April 13.-Consti-
tutional reform in France Is becoming
a serious issue. This is because, for
one thing, the National Council OF
the National Federation of War Vet
Grams makes such reform the sine qua
non of its accepting, from July l. the
per cent reduction in pensions so
absolutely essential to the govern
ment's economy program.
This federation, uniting all the sew

self governing republic. Nonetheless
it demands certain conditions in re-
turn for It's acceptance Of personal
sacrifices and in view of the govern
ment's policy of deflation, which is
now supposed to 60 about reducing
prices and wages.
Conditions Demanded.
These conditions are the following
l. Re-establishment of public NOR

and July l proper action in the case
of the late Alexandra Stavisky, swind-
ling operator of the $4,000, 00C

of the subsequently murdered Judge
Albert Prince, an important witness
in the Stavisky case. must be taken
by the government, whose very organs
today are suspected of trying to cover
up the crime.
2. Repression of fiscal fraud. This
means that the time may be coming
when Frenchmen of means, holders of
stocks and bonds, will have to begin
to pay their proper share of property
and income taxes.
