Friday.
Following termination Of the ha-
beas corpus hearing in which Mrs

Of little Gloria from the childs pate--
nal aunt, Justice Carew announced
he had decided the young heiress
would not have for the future tho
kind OF life she lived from the death
Of her father until June, 1892.
During this period, Gloria was Will,
her mother.

cision. the spokesman said, will b
filed in the appellate division with!r
the next few days, and II Mrs. Van
erbilt Is unsuccessful there, the cas<
will be taken to the court Of appeals

the rule of silence which still bindl
the principals Of the case, that Jus.
tice Carew does not believe the moth
er should be entrusted with hel
child's custody.
Counsel for Mrs. Vanderbilt and fol
her late husbands sister, Mrs. Whit.
ney, conferred Thursday with Justics
Carew on details Of the child's future

The impression was gained, how.
ever. that the court has in mind or
arrangement under which the child
now living with Mrs. Whitney, ma,
eventually be returned to her mother

From comments and Interpretation
that were heard following Thursday,

available, Is to remain with her aunt

Sarles Says Government Has
Promised New Activity
for North Dakota

Grand Forks, N. D.. Nov. l6-R)-
North Dakota's first National Guard
air squadron, expected to be author
lied soon under the recently-an-
nounced expansion program Of the
army air forces. will be stationed 1T
Grand Forks, Adjutant General Earle
sarles Of the North Dakota National
Guard announced here Friday.
1.-THE first new unit Of National
Guard air corps has been promised
to North Dakota" the general said.
1T will be an observation squadron.
In 1922, when the National Guard was
reorganized under the national de-
tense act OF 1920, North Dakota was
allotted one regiment Of infantry and
one observation squadron, the 10th,
and was given five years to complete
the organization. The present l64th
Infantry was organized at that time
but no effort was made to complete
the observation squadron.
THE allotment was then given to
Arkansas" sarles' announcement said.
This is our second chance for an
aerial squadron and we are not going
to muff it. tn application was made
In June but at that time no place was
designated as headquarters Of the
unit"
The adjutant general said he be-
lieved that due to the announcement
Of the expansion program Of aeronau-
tics both in the regular army and the
National Guard. North Dakota will be
called upon In the very near future to
organize the unit. II am making
this announcement In order to give
Grand Forks an opportunity to make
appropriate arrangements, he said.
Outlines Favorable Factors
While several other desirable air.
fields in the state could have been
utilized for the unit, the adjutant
general said he was influenced In
making his decision by the following
factors:
"Grand Forks Is the only city in the
state having population Of over TO-
600 that has only one National Guard
unit. Fargo has B company and the
regimental headquarters company.
Bismarck has A company and the
quartermaster corps, while Minot

lon headquarters company.

facilities for an additional National
Guard unit and has supported loyalty

President Roosevelt Pays Tribute
To ORIGINAL Frontiersmen Of South
utters Pledge to Perpetuate
Spirit Which They Showed
to Attain Ends

Harrodsburg, KY, Nov. l6.-R-
President Roosevelt, standing beside
a monument to old-time frontiersmen.
uttered pledge Friday that we shall
carry on" in spirit Of pioneering for
the fulfillment Of security, Of free
dom Of opportunity and Of happiness
which America asks and IS entitled to
receive.
Swinging into this colonial outpost
to dedicate q 100000 monument to
the folk who conquered wilderness
and made 1t possible for George
Rogers Clark to open the northwest,
the president drew an analogy between
those people and the pioneers Of
1884,
We in these latter years" he said,
throughout the length and breadth
Of our land have come to realiza-
ton Of the pregnant fact that the
accustomed order Of our formerly
established lives does not suffice to
meet the perils and problems which
we are compelled to face. Again. mere
survival calls for new pioneering on
our part"
Speaks Early In Day
He stopped here early Friday on his
inspection trip through the Tennessee
Valley where he has inaugurated 2
pioneering experiment in gigantic
dams, power lines, reforestation and
soil improvement aimed at q more
abundant life" for America.
Senator Alben w. Barley Of Ken
lucky, who advocated the federal act
for the monument, introduced the
president as pioneer"
II indulge IN no unctious flattery,'
Barley said. when I say that as the
head Of this nation, in one Of the most
perilous periods. he has been the most
farsighted, humane, constructive and
fearless pioneer Of them all"
The president in his brief talk re-
marked:
There IS 4 very definite analogy
between those days and ours. TO most
Of the pioneers the necessities Of the
new life called for new efforts and
experiments to which they had not
been accustomed IN their earlier years
Ia the more ordered civilization Of the
Atlantic seaboard. Survival itself
demanded immediate and new action.

Declining to have his name used at
present, he gave his observations as
the board Of directors Of the Chamber
Of Commerce of the United States met
to discuss the business situation.
There were indications 1t would de-
vote considerable time to the question
OF what business itself can do to &C
celerate recovery as q means Of head
ing off legislation which industrialists
do not desire.
Definite action by industry would
be in lines with the desires Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Time and again he
has said that federal activities would
be curtailed as soon IS business itself
starts functioning satisfactorily.
The spokesman gave three opinions
he said were held by even the most
conservative Of business leaders. They
we're:
/. The election showed the presi-
dents great popular strength, al
though there was not the slightest
evidence that business itself had voted
for the president.
