b. wireless to The Evening Star
I'm ROUTE TO OTTAWA. Can
- ada, November 27.-'All aboard
for Ottawa"
- That was the remark I made
this morning as We loaded into
The Star expedition plane and pre-
pared TO take the air on another leg
Of our return trip
The storm which threatened to de-
lay US late yesterday veered off on an
other course and swept the sky clear
and bright for our-taKe-off We were
lucky, for We knew that We had to
make good time this day in order to
keep our schedule and arrive at Min
nicola Airport tomorrow night in time
to rush the movie films to Washing
ton by special train for the opening of
the Metropolitan Theater on Thanks
giving morning.
The Eskimos did not want US to
leave. They enjoyed having US and
listening to all that We had to tell
them about Santa Claus and his Won
derful palace and toy factories. They
we're very hospitable and gave us
every attention
But the time came to leave and we
had to start on We really stayed in
the little village at the north tip of
Hudson Bay longer than We had ex-
pected to. But we had such a pleas
ant time, in spite of the intense cold,
that We could hardly get away.
We had good take-of with the aid
of some of the Eskimo men who helped
turn the plane into the wind, and
after circling the village twice while
We gained altitude we headed south.
We have been flying over dangerous
territory today. The ground is un-
even and the ice peaks are rough and
jagged. 1t isn't at all an inspiring
sight when you are high up in the
air and have only the wings and
motors Of your airplane on which to
depend But the ship has worked so
well during the entire trip that we
have great confidence in it.
Mrs. Kleinschmidt is looking better
than she has at any time since we
left Santa Claus at his home The
fact that We are nearing home again
after most successful expedition,
bringing with US one of the most
amazing moving pictures ever made,
seems to have filled her with enthusi-
asm. OF course, this kind of trip
is pretty strenuous, but she has stood
it very we'll
"Just think what we are bringing
back for the boys and girls in Wash
ington to see," she said to me this
morning. Won't they be thrilled!
And wasn't it worth all the risk and
danger of this trip. I don't think

PHONE AGREEMENT
IS SOUGHT AGAIN
Second Effort to Reach Accord
in Reducing Rates to
Be Made.

A second effort to arrive at an
agreement on reducing telephone bills
was to be made today by the Public
Utilities Commission and officials of
the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co.
The company is expected to bring
In second set of reduced telephone
rates and ask for the commissions
approval. The first set was definitely
turned down by the commission only
last Thursday. Subscribers of the
company are anxiously watching the
present negotiations in the hope Of
receiving a return OF approximately
100000 in cash impounded since
October, 1882, when the commission
ordered telephone bills cut 10 per
cent.
Since that time, the commission
and the company have been in liti-
cation over the reduction order. The
commission won in the District Su-
preme Court and the company ap-
pealed, but more than a month ago
offered to withdraw its appeal if a set
of new schedules could be arrived at.
There is no contest as to the return
OF the $l,000,000 for past excess
charges. The difficulty in the nego-
tiations has been to agree on a set
of rates for the future. The commits
sion is insisting on rates which will
effect horizontal 10 per cent slash
on all bills except those for private
branch exchange service. The rates
submitted by the company in its
first effort have never been made
public, but it is understood that they
did not adhere closely enough to the
horizontal 10 per cent cut.

going to be overlooked this Christmas.
For when folks see this picture We
are bringing back, they will realize
what big job Santa has on his
hands and how much help he needs
from all of us in order to fulfill his
greatest desire-to reach every child
at Christmas time. whether rich or
poor. / am sure that the good people
OF Washington will help him in his
work Of bringing happiness to ALL"
Mrs. Kleinschmidt. always on the
lockout for something new. asked me
today to teach her to pilot the plane.
She says that it is such an easy
way to travel. gave her a short
lesson this morning and she seemed
to catch on right away. The ship
has double controls so / really wasn't
taking any chance. If she had made
the tiniest mistake / could have COR
rected 1t at once. That is one thing
you have to watch when you are
plotting an airplane-you can't just
sit and snooze or look at the moon.
There are great many instruments
to keep an eye on, the course has to
be maintained and the ship has to be
kept level. OF course. some Of these
things become almost automatic after
a while but at first you have to think
about nothing but the job you have
before you.
From the way Mrs. Kleinschmidt
caught on to the instructions l gave
her think she will make very good
pilot. She is level-headed, and that
helps great deal when it comes TO
driving an airplane. For If your head
is level, you are pretty apt to keep
the plane level.
We are looking forward with great
deal of interest to our arrival at
Mineola Airport. That will mark the
end OF our journey and we will know
then that our mission will have been
completely fulfilled. 1t IS impossible TO
tell at this distance at what hour we
VIII arrive there tomorrow-but We
Will be there in time to get the movies
to Washington for the opening of the
show on Thursday.
Mrs. Kleinschmidt is at the con-
trols. as I am sending this story. We
are speeding along at a great rate.
and everything is rosy. Santa radioed
me today to the plane to remember
him to all his little Washington friends
and to assure them that he will be
with them in spirit on Thursday when
the picture arrives. And when Santa
says he will do something, it is Just
as good as done. He's that kind of
a fellow.
tomorrow Capt. Kleinschmidt will
send his final wireless dispatch from
the plane on the way home)

currency REFORM.
SPLIT IS W|DENED|
Opponents of New Changes
Cheered by Growing
Diversity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Opponents Of further currency
changes took comfort today in q
growing diversity of opinion among
monetary reformers in Congress.
The latest to express his views was
Senator Adams, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO, a silverite, who said the program
under which the Treasury is buying
silver should be speeded up.
He did not agree with Senator King
Democrat. of Utah. who has said the
present silver situation is "satisfac-
tory" but he was less critical of the
present program than have been other
silverites who took issue with King
Among several other ideas already
voiced are these:
l. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, OF
Montana-Free coinage of silver at a
ratio of Is to l with gold.
3 Senator Thomas. Democrat. of
Oklahoma-Further devaluation Of the
gold dollar.
3. Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
acknowledgement of all tax-exempt
Federal bonds with new money backed
by the gold and silver in the Treasury.
Wheeler. Thomas and McCarran are
in agreement, broadly speaking, on a
theory of remonetiZing silver through
free coinage, but have not reached
unanimity on the desired ratio.
Although the attitude of the Roose-
welt administration has not been
stated. it is known to contain high
officials who are cool to further ex-
pansion of the currency
Senator Thomas. widely known as
an expansioniSt, advised monetary re-
formers yesterday to adopt a wait
ing game" in the first days Of the
next Congress to see how economic
conditions would improve as the result
of what he called the recent presi-
Dental mandate to business men.
If improvement does not occur. he
indicated. expansionists will embark
on a finish fight. During the period
of waiting. he said. we will keep our
program consistently before the coun-

order in which those qualified we're
ranked on the register.
Without Proposal.
Meanwhile, Gen. Samuel T. Ansell.
former judge advocate general Of the
Army, who is representing the soon
to-be- -ousted employees, said today
that he was considering having them
write letters to the Secretary Of the
Treasury offering to remain in the
service without pay until Congress
has a chance to act on their case.
Gen. Ansell contends that the Fed
eral statute which prohibits volun-
teer employment sans payment is not
applicable to these workers. He con-
tends that their positions and pay
were fixed by general law and that
Congress in cutting of appropriations
for all who did not qualify by the
recent examinations could not affect
their right to their jobs He pointed
out, as a similar case, that if Con-
gress should withhold the pay of
judges Of the Supreme Court that
body would continue to function. He
plans to emphasize this point when
the permanent injunction with which
he is seeking to restrain Secretary
Morgenthau from dismissing the 900
workers comes up for final action.
This was one of the points that
counsel contended for yesterday in an
unsuccessful effort to obtain a tempo
rary injunction to stay operation of
the law. Chief Justice Wheat of Dis
trict Supreme Court held he was with
out power to intervene, however.
The injunction proceedings will
come up finally within the next two
weeks, the Treasury having the alter
native of either moving to dismiss
or answering the bill of complaint
Gen Ansell said that he was con-
sidering having the workers volunteer
their services in order to keep their
status alive.
A statement today from the Amer
ican Federation of Government En-
ployes also said that some legal action
was contemplated in behalf of the
workers but did not specify its nature.

Boston Angle Confirmed.
John Ellwood Jones of Cleveland

Wednesday on a detour near Lewis
town and identified the three bodies
as the children.
Boston police wired information
that three children and a blond
woman in red-dotted dress we're
carried on bus from Boston to New

B. A. Cook, Harrisburg furniture

These, too. resembled the bodies.

terial clues-similarity Of clothing

and that worn by the slain woman;

near the children: registration of an
adult couple with only 48 cents at an
Altoona rooming house, and num-
bers on the girls coats, made by the
H. g. j. Block Co. of New York.
Investigation Of the California angle
disclosed that Horace Hughes" was
listed in the 1881 city directory. but at
the address given after his name he
was reported unknown.
Others Report Party.
Police at nearby Langhorne reported
seeing a man and woman with three
girls November II In an automobile
bearing California license plates.
Five persons said they saw the same
children and man and woman in a
sandwich shop In Philadelphia the
following night The manager of the
shop, Louis Ellis, said he gave an
advertising blotter to the adults. Such

Cuttings Democratic opponent,
Chavez, really believes he can make
out case in two counties. Also he
will make some charges about hiring
automobile workers on election day in
certain sections.
When an election is as close as
that one it is a simple matter for
the preponderdntly heaDy Demo-
cratic Senate majority to resolue
all doubts in taUor OF the Demo-
Gratis. That uds demonstrated only
a teD years ago in the Brookhart

to do is to find legal pretert for

The latest is that the Vice President
(you may recall his name is Garner)
is not going to Warm Springs, but will
come directly to Washington around
December 10. 1t looks as if ne is not

speakership argument or the bonus

Fox is a nephew Of Treasury Secre-

getting to be a one-man show, not
because the President wants it to be,
but because so few men around him
have the vision and capacity to take
the load from him. 1t is singular
after all the big work done SO far,
that SO few New Dealers have dis
tinguished themselves doing it.
Every one knous that the PreSi-
dent has had to rely mainly on
telU trusted old friends. college pro-
tessors and Army officers He has
practically erehausted those fields
and the results could hardly be
called sensational. II the Ne1o Deal

Jittery Over Raids.
The New Dealers have SHE'D away
from talking about the bucket shop
raids because the New York, Boston
and Baltimore raids involved under
cover tactics. The fact is that the
raiding squad has adopted flying
wedge technique which is the latest
accomplishment Of New Deal reform
activity.
The squad is led by Big Tim Gala
han, former all-American center at
Yale, who knows foot ball philosophy.
When citizens complain of being
gyped by bucket shop, the S. E. c.
turns the complaints over to Callahan.
He descends on the brokerage house
just before closing, locks the doors,
closes the telephone line and estab-
fishes himself in the largest chair as
a magistrate. No word or person goes
in or out until Mr.. Callahan has taken
the testimony of all and looked over
the records.
In Baltimore he kept brokerage
house locked all night.
The idea is to avoid all habeas COR
pus lawyers until Mr.. Callahan makes
a touchdown.
In Error Regarding Green.
This column was wrong in describ-
ing November % particular letter
written by A. F. of L. Chairman
Green to the White House, submit
ting a list of demands. What hap
pened was that Mr.. Green wrote
three letters, November S, to the
White House, submitting the demands
OF the A. F. of L. conyention-not his
own. In these letters he did not ask
for an appointment with the Prest-
dent.
Ten days after Mr.. Green ,Urote
his letters he received three routine
responses from the Presidents
assistant secretary. These stated
the A. F. OF L. resolutions had been
referred to Udrious departments.
That clears up the correspondence
angle, but does not alter the pc
culidr underlying situation eIisting
betueen the White House and the
A. F. of L., as described in that
column. An effort to clear up the
situation may be made nhen Mr..
Roosevelt returns from Warm
