LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica,
April 2 (via Mackay Radio With
the temperature at 60 degrees below
zero, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd
was of today on a seven-month solo
study of weather in the Antarctic.
"All is we'll" he reported in a radio
message assuring the main camp that
he had settled himself "as comforta-
bly, as could be expected" in his little
one-room shack 1913 miles south of
Little America.
The tractor party which hauled
supplies to this world Southernmost
weather observation post started the
return trip Saturday, leaving Admiral
Byrd alone.
The leader minin1ized the hazards
OF his lonely existence.
THE Winter night is a period of
tranquility Of sort you will never
achieve in civilization" he said.
Admiral Byrd said he expected to
keep busy maintaining a continuous
meteorological record and doing much
writing in the now almost completely
snow-covered hut.

Under the proposed amendment,

It would mean the Democrats would
get electoral votes out of their mi

GAS Co. MUSTPAy,
THOUGH DEAL FAILS
Loses Fight to Avoid $500
Fee on Sale That Was
Dropped.

Although the Washington Gas Light
Co. didn't buy the gas plant at Charles
Town. w. Va. in 1880, it will have to
pay $4,000 to the estate of Wallace
Damn. who secured an option on the
plant for the local concern.
Damn came here in 1880 seeking
employment. He was sent to the COM
pany's chief angineer and in the
course Of a conversation mentioned
ne thought the gas plant at Charles
Town could be purchased.
Officials of the local concern were
interested and decided they would pay
as much as s32 500 for the West Vir-
ginia plant. Damn was commissioned
to negotiate for the purchase and it
was agreed he should keep as COM
pensation the difference between the
actual sale price and $32,500. To the
surprise of everybody concerned, how
ever, he secured an option on the
stock and bonds of the Charles Town
plant for $25,700 The chief engineer
of the local company decided this was
too much compensation and insisted
it be reduced to a fiat commission OF
$4,000. Damn agreed to this, but
shortly thereafter the local company
decided not to go through with the
purchase and refused to pay him any
commission.
The company commended its charter
did not authorize it to purchase out
of-town plants and its chief engineer
had acted beyond the scope of his
authority.
In the meantime Damn died and his
widow, Mrs. Gladys H. Damn, brought
suit in District Supreme Court for the
commission through Attorney Joseph
D. Sullivan. The jury awarded her
the $4,000 and this award was af-
firmed today by the Court Of Appeals

Hull's Mild Exterior

BY PAUL MALLON.

-HE mild demeanor of State Sec
rotary Hull is deceiving.
Behind it he hides the heart
of a Canadian Northwest po-
liceman. He always gets his
man.
This time the man is none other
than President Roosevelt's own special
foreign trade adviser, George Peek
When Mr.. Peeks appointment was
announced. it was generally assumed
around the State Department that
Mr.. Hulls influence on that subject
was on the wane. Mr.. Peek was sup
eign trade, overriding the Executive
Commercial Policy Committee started
by Mr.. Hull.
Mr.. Hull said nothing, but was an
noyed. A week ago the White House
gave out an executive order formally
installing Mr. Peek and giving him
100000 to work with.
The laugh was on Mr.. Hull-but
not for long.
Barred From Interfering.

on his fishing trip, Mr.. Hull's State
Department made public supplement
tai executive order the President had
signed before he left.
Why its announcement was delayed
48 hours was not explained, but the
fact is that by that time Mr.. Roose-
welt was out on the Aston yacht. out
of reach Of Mr.. Peek and every one
else.

RETURN is CONSIDERED.

To expedite the return of Samuel
insult to the United States, President
Roosevelt may deputize an American
citizen in Turkey to act as a special
police officer and bring him home.
This is possible under American
law, it was pointed out today in off,
cial circles. No indication has been
given Of what action is contemplated.
No duly authorized United States
police official IS now in Turkey and,
unless special action is decided upon,
1t may be necessary to send Depart
ment of Justice agent or an Illinois
officer to take custody Of the Illinois
fugitive. That would cause a delay.
Meanwhile, State Department off,
cials studied the many ramihcations
Of the insult problem.
They emphasized the entire ques-
ton Of insults arrest was in the
hands Of Turkish authorities.
The United States, they said, would
make no move to take insult into Gus
tody until this country had been noti-
fed officially by the Turkish foreign
office that it was prepared to hand
him over.
Among the diplomatic and legal
questions to be clarified before definite
action is how the presidential war
rant. signed by President Roosevelt,
will be delivered
Warrant Delay Likely.
To avoid delay in sending the
actual warrant to Istanbul. officials
hoped it could be certified by the
Turkish Ambassador here and. through
the embassy. cabled to Turkey.
Some delay in securing the presi-
dental warrant was expected, as Mr..
Roosevelt is on a fishing trip off the
Florida coast.
1t would be possible for a warrant
to be signed by the President on his
yacht and brought to Washington by
airplane.

j. s. LOAN DEMAND
ESTIMATES
Jesse H. Jones Declares
Money Is Getting Easier
to Borrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Jesse H. Jones. r. F. C. chairman,
told reporters today indications are
that money is getting easier to Dor
row over the country and that the
demand for Government loans is less
than anticipated. The corporation
still has unused borrowing power of
81 900 100000.
Bankers are seeking to make .oans.
he said, and he looks for a pickup
after Congress adjourns.
The fact that the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation expects to run
more than s50o000. 900 under budget
estimates for the fiscal year ended
June 80 he ascribed to better business
conditions.
Loans Being Repaid.
Jones said in the Southwest men
who have made cotton loans were re-
paying them and people generally
appeared anxious to get out of debt
where they could. Total repayments
to the corporation since January |
have been about s250.000, 900. This. It
was pointed out. would indicate around
81 600, 100000 repayments during the
year.
The situation gives the corporation.
with its unused borrowing power, funds
which appear to its officers to be
adequate to carry it through the year
without difficulty.
Jones plans to discuss with the
Banking Committees of the House and
Senate this week the proposal that
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton lend up to 70 per cent of funds
necessary to carry on Public Works
Administration work. Under this plan
the Public Works Administration
would use its money for the 80 per
cent grants the Government makes to
municipalities and counties and the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
would lend the remainder.
Jones said he did not believe the
plan would cost the Government a
great deal of money because the
corporation would buy only high
grade bonds which it could resell as
soon as the municipal bond market
improved.
There has been no consideration
he said, of the purchase of State
bonds. because the corporation feels
that the States should be able to
handle their own financing.
Up to April l the corporation had
authorized the purchase of preferred
stock and capital notes in 6,452 banks,
the value of the stock and notes be-
ing placed as 81 ,061 ,234, 600. The
corporation has actually taken over
stock and notes of 2,697 banks and
paid to them $593, 578, 900.
Loans to closed banks for liquida-
ton purposes have totaled S7l8,-
1000. which has gone to 1892 in
situations. Actual disbursements on
these loans has been $47o,559, 5000.

This procedure. the newspaper

would limit trial of insult to the spe-

Deportation, the newspaper said,

Extradition would probably be on the
specific charge of violation of the
bankruptcy laws.

Those on The inside at the N. R. A.
are talking among themselves about
the radical changes which have been
quietly going on within the organiza-
ton.
For instance, w. Averill Hartman
has virtually taken the entire routine
off Gen. johnson during the last few
weeks. He appears to be running the
show, since he was made first assist
ant administrator
One job Gen. johnson has taken on
recently is the writing of office orders.
They are supposed to be more secret
than supreme court decision. II
any one is caught disclosing an order
outside the organization, it constitutes
grounds for dismissal.
Lately the orders have been more
picturesquely worded than when they
were written by Executive Director
Alvin Brown.
Industry Fights Back.
These and other signs have led to
considerable discussion as to the fu-
ture of the N. R. A. Some wise boys
are saying the outfit will grow less
and less important They expect a
compliance drive will be started soon
by the legal division. The show will
then center around technical indi-
vidual cases Of enforcement. Any
broad further curtailment of hours
seems to be out of the question.
The tendency of the administration
is to temporize with the existing set
up and await developments in hopes
that more reforms may be forced

and three tons Of flour.
The citizenry formed 4 bucket
brigade to stop the spread Of fire
which reached two nearby houses
