HOPEFUL men AT
GENEVA REVUE
DISARMAMENT
Small Group Is Trying to
Put Some Life Into
Forgotten Plan

Geneva, April 10.-(UP)-A lit
tie group of determinedly hopeful
men, comprising the disarmament
steering committee, gathered today
to find means of revitalizing the
world disarmament conference.
The delegates considered call
ing a meeting of the full CONFER
ence for May 20, in an effort to ma
way out Of a complete deadlock.
They hoped to obtain Russian
and American aid to strengthen the
league itself. Many predicted Rus
STA would Join soon, and some were
optimistic enough to discuss the
possibility Of full American adhe-
sion or at least unqualified Ameri-
can cooperation.
Sensing a political angle, Nor
man II. Davis, American d1sarma-
ment delegate, announced from
London that he would not be pres
emit today, The United States will
revert to the unofficial observer
policy for the occasion, with
American minister. Hugh X. VIII
son as the observer.
1t is the first committee meeting
since November. No effective pro-
gress has been made in liquidating
the difference between Germany.
d m q II d ing rsarmament, ana
France, demanding absolute guar
antee of her security before Ger
many .rearms.
The delegates hoped that re-
vised and re-revised British dis
armament program, involving
measure of German rearmament
with q measure of security to
France, might be made the basis
for a full, and successful disarma-
ment conference.
But Yesterday, "a hours before
the meeting, Sir John Simon, Brit
ish foreign minister, announced
that Great Britain was giving
very serious consideration to In
creases in German military expen-
ditures.
Germany retorted with an official
statement that It was not increas-
ing its ornaments but that eX-
penses of it's present establishment
were mounting.
France In turn was reported only
today to be considering drafting
charges against Germany on the
ground she was violating the mill (.
tary clauses of the Versailles
treaty which limited her military
strength.
Paris, April, 10.-(UP)-France
was reported today to be consider
ing submission of charges to tho
league of nations that Germany
had violated the military clauses
of the Versailles treaty. u.
Any such action probably would
be taken only with the approval
and cooperation of Great Britain.

LITTLE AMERICA TO
LOSE VOTING right
State Laws on Absentees Make
No Provision for Casting
Ballot by Radio

washington, Oct. 23.-(P)-Admiral
Richard E. Byrd and members OF his
south polar expedition were ruled
down Tuesday in an effort to vote
by radio in the coming ELECTIONS, be-
cause state laws on absentee voting
make no provision for that kind OF
ballot.
This information was sent the ex-
plorer by Chairman Farley Of the
Democratic national committee. He
acted after governors Ct states from
which the adventurerS come had told
him that under present laws the
novel method Of voting proposed by
Byrd could not be employed.
The Democratic national commit
tee made public Admiral Byrd's radio
message to Farley stating that men,
bers OF the expedition Gesired to vote
because Of their interest in home
affairs.
Farley obtained q statement from
the justice department. pointing out
that the eligibility to vote and the
manner Of voting was governed by
the laws Of the various states, and
expressing an informal opinion that
It was highly doubtful whether any
state permitted voting by radio be-
cause it would destroy the secrecy
Of the ballot.
Replies from the governors and
officials Of II states all state that
for one reason or another votes by
radio could not be counted" Demo-
cratic headquarters said.
Altogether 81 members Of the ex-
pxdition are listed as eligible voters.

card, scientist making the flight with
his wife, Jeanette, was reported by
farmers to have landed in q para

It could not be learned Immediate

First reports said DR.. Picard land-
ed safely.
Detroit, Oct. 23.-lP)-On the trail
of the mysterious cosmic rays, DR..
Jean and Mrs. Jeannette Picard had
surmounted the first hazard of their
stratospheric balloon flight by drift
ing safely across Lake Erie Tuesday
morning, and were reported over
Cleveland, O., at noon.
An overcast sky and low visibility pre-
vented ground watchers from seeing
the sphere, but two United Air Line
pilots who nosei up to $4,000 feet re-
ported the sight Of the company's
RADIO operator In q radio-telephone
conversation.
Mrs. Picard was quoted as saying
they were heading toward the strato-
sphere, but no altitude was given.
Earlier, an American amateur radio
operator reported sighting the balloon,
still over Norwalk, O.
Clouds Screen Flight
Their light metal gondola dangled
from a huge gas bag as tall as large
office building. but low hanging
clouds screened even such q gigantic
object from the view Of persons on the
ground.
They took off from Ford Airport at
6:58 q. M. the gondola barely clearing
q clump of trees as Mrs. Piccard-the
only licensed woman balloon pilot in
the United States-hastily dumped
50 pounds Of lead ballast to clear the
obstacles that might have ended the
flight disastrously within the view Of
5000 spectators.
A radio-equipped car, waiting at the
Cleveland airport to pick up Mrs.
Piccard's signals and follow the
balloons course, if possible. had heard
nothing two hours after the flight
began, and set out for Pittsburgh.
The balloonists expected to be aloft
about IL hours.
The balloons ceiling was estimated
at II miles, but the Piccards expected
to halt their ascent at about 9h miles
to record observations by means Of an
imposing battery Of scientific iastru-
ments carried In the cramped quar-
tiers Of the seven-foot gondola.
At a height of 10000 feet they
planned to seal their gondola and de-

Sometime, if you want to get
really tired without doing any

that has gone into every inch Of

For what?"
Do you realize that every ad.

with just the words 'Holeo

When you look at an adver-

Let us take, for example. an
advertisement for Zmart Upper
