STORM HALTS
ULM'S START

OAKLAND, Calf, Dec. 3. U.P) -
A storm in the vicinity of the Ha-
waiian Islands kept the trans-Paci-
fic plane Star of Australia" earth.
bound today, delaying Capt Charles
T. P. Ulm's takeoff for Australia.
Ulm may make another effort to
get away late today. His plans de.
pended on weather reports from
government forecasters watching
the 2,400 mile stretch over which he
must fly to reach his first stop
Honolulu.
The low-wing, twin-motored mono
plane, made in England, was set
fer the attempt, with 600 gallons of
fuel in her tanks and emergency ra-
tions and supplies in her cockpits.
A condenser, used for making sea
water drinkable, was added to the
equipment yesterday. 1t was ship
ped here from Vancouver, B. c.,
where preparations originally had
been made for Ulm's departure.

SOVIET WILL
EXTERMINATE
IT'S ENEMIES

LENINGRAD, Russia, Dec. 3. U.H
Ruthless determination of ene-
mics of the Soviet regime was pro-
claimed today because of the assas-
sination of Sergio Maronovich XII
rov. one of the high leaders of Com
munist Russia.
A decree of the tzik (parliament)
was made public, ordering prompt
execution of persons found implica-
ted in the assassination.
The tic assembled Immediately
after the assassination on Saturday
and passed resolution evoking the
most important weapon of the dicta-
torship of the proletariat-the sum-
mary red terror" under which
many thousands of potential foes of
the government faced extinction be-
fcre firing squads in the early years
of the revolution.
The resolution precluded the pos
eibility of delaying executions by ap
peals from persons found guilty of
terroristic acts. The foreign office
was instructed to carry out the SEN
tences of the highest measure of
social protection without delay,
and the tzik declared it could not
accept clemency appeals for exam
ination. The utmost speed was de-
Inanded of authorities conducting
the investigation of the assassina-
ton and the possibility of conspir-
acy.
