SCANDINAVIA SHY
ON SECURITY PACT
Denmark Indicates Coun-
tries Are Not Likely to
Participate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark.-Par-
ticipation by the Scandinavian coun-
tries in the proposed Eastern European
security pact seems remote, govern
ment leaders have indicated.
The three nations are keenly inter-
ested In developments, but have not
been asked to enter the mutual Sc
curity guarantee envisioned by the So
called Eastern Locarno pact"
I'VE have had no hint that the sig
natures of the Scandinavian countries
are desired" said P. Munich. Danish
foreign minister. But II an invita-
ton is received the nations will confer
before making q decision"
The opinion here is that neither
Norway nor Sweden has any tangible
interest in an Eastern security guar
antee, since Finland serves as buffer
state between them and Russia.
Denmark, however, with a vulner-
able southern frontier, faces the sit
uation from an entirely different
angle.
Despite the desire for security along
that open border 1t is the impression
in many quarters that Denmark should
not allow itself to be drawn into any
guarantee system which is not ap-
proved by Germany.
II Germany enters the agreement
it would be easy for the Danes to go
along. But IL Berlin remains aloof
leaders here believe it would be urwise
for Denmark to sign a pact.
The German government has been
on the most friendly official terms with
Denmark and some officials feel the
greatest measure of security would
come from q bilateral pact similar to
the German-Polish friendship treaty.

The manner in which Mrs. Foltz
broke down the bars, admitting women
to practice law in California, was often
related in legal and political circles.
She sued the directors of Hastings
College of Law at the University of
California to admit herself and other
women as law students and obtained
a writ of mandate from lower and
higher courts forcing her admittance
She was said to have been the third
to be admitted in the United States.

PLAN TO EXPLORE
BRAZIL IN A|RSH|P
Zeppelin Now Under Con.
struction for Trip Over
Unknown Area.
RIO DE JANEIRo R.-President

RIO DE JANEIRo (R.-President
Getulio Vargas has given the neces-
sary sanctions for an exploration Of
Brazil's vast jungle by a Zeppelin
next year.
An airship designed for the trip
is being built at Freidrichshafen. It
is expected that Comdr. Hugo Eek
ener, who now operates the Graf
Zeppelin in trans-Atlantic service to
South America, will take the new
craft over the unsurveyed and largely
unknown regions Of this nation.
Three flights, over the States of
Amazonas and Matt Gorosso and an
unmapped tract of Southern Brazil,
are contemplated. The explorers, who
will include German and Brazilian
flyers and scientific Investigators, plan
to travel more than 10000 miles.
Pass Over Deadly Country.
The airship will pass over forests
in which natives with poisoned arrows
lurk. Many Of them would not OBJ
ject to making q meal Of the explor-
ers. Panthers, ant eaters, alligators
and monkeys Of many varieties will
be among the beasts which will gaze
up at the aerial visitor.
The explorers will be interested
particularly in making a study Of
Brazils savages. It Is estimated ON
cially that there are 1,000, 900 Of them.
Presumably there. are tribes COM
pletely unknown to travellers.
The explorers also will be alert to
note new forms of animal and plant
life. It would not be surprising to
authorities If beasts now unknown,
and plants unclassified by botanists,
are found. 1t is not impossible, they
say, that beasts believed to have be-
come extinct in prehistoric times are
making q last stand in the remote
jungles.
Rondon May Lead.
Gen. Candido Rondon. chief of
Brazils Border Patrol, who Is on leave
as president Of the mixed commission
administering Leticia for Colombia
and Peru, may be the guide Of the ex-
pedition. He is recognized as the
man probably best acquainted with
the interior Jungle. Gen. Rondon ac-
companied Theodore Roosevelt on the
expedition on which the stream now
known as Roosevelt River was discov-
cred.
The extent of the unexplored
region of the interior is not generally
appreciated. According to geogra-
pliers, the territory which must be re-
garded as unknown" is as large as
the New England States plus New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia and
perhaps Kentucky and Ohio.

BIC SAVING SEEN
|NSTEEL PAY CUTS
S10,0O0,0 900 Slash Comes
Too Late to Keep Indus
try Out of Red.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, September 3.-The
retrenchment to the five-day week for
salaried employees in the steel indus
try was estimated in the magazine
Steel today to mean a saving to pro-
July payments.
THAT ($l0,000,000) Is about the
deficit In tile first quarter of this
year, but as the cut will apply to only
one month this quarter" the publica-
tion's weekly review said, ut will be
too late to keep the industry out of
the red.
While retrenchment to the five
day week for salaried employees in
the iron and steel industry reflects
subdued sentiment in the markets, a
moderate improvement in demand is
expected to set in this month and to
gain momentum with the Fall season.
Small Orders Increase.
considered a forerunner of this,
the number of small orders from a
widely diversified list of steel con-
sumers increased during the week, in
dicating depletion of general manu-
featuring stocks.
"Steelmakers do not anticipate an
early and marked gain in require
ments from any of the leading con-
Stunning groups. The trend in Gov
ernment expenditures for construc-
tion work and housing programs. how
ever, will be up as the Winter ap-
proaches. and in the aggregate will
take substantial amounts Of steel,
widely scattered.
"A sharp reduction in automobile
production to barely 10000 units re-
suited last week when Ford and other
manufacturers continued closed. Out
put this week may increase slightly
with the resumption of operations
Tuesday. but during the month sched-
ules will be held down rigidly to the
level of retail demand.
This month may bring the first
test Of steel prices since their advance
three months ago, consumers gen.
orally having operated thus far on
stocks previously acquired. The in
dustry seldom has been so dependent
on stability of prices. -"
Scrap Prices Sink.
Scrap prices have sustained the
sharpest loss this year, steel's scrap
composite being OF Is cents to 90 SO.
'Steelworks operations last week
were reduced 2 points to 1872 per
cent. lowest since the second week
in April, 1888. Chicago dropped 2
points to 271a, Eastern Pennsylvania,
112 to 1872; Youngstown, to ID;
New England, to Is; Buffalo, 4la to
10. Birmingham was up 5 to 30, De-
troit held at n, Pittsburgh, 10;
Wheeling, 26; Cleveland, Is.
"Steel's iron and steel price COM
posite is down 5 cents to $32.l7, while
the finished steel index is unchanged
at $54"

The premier listened, then turned

Premier Okada's fondness for
sakeh and his ability to dispose Of
impressive quantities of that strong

comment by Japanese newspapers.
Okada started building his reputation
as . drinker when he was young

WILEY POST HOPES
FOR NEW RECORD
Holds Main Interest, How
ever, Is to Double Speed
of Airplane.
BY WILEY POST.


CHICAGO, September 8 CN.A.N.A).
There Is every reason for me to be-
heve that the Lockhsed Vega air.
plane. the Winnie Mae, In which I
shall attempt soon to set q new plane
altitude record, will fly $4,000 feet
into the air, and safely. If 1t does
that thing, 1t will break the present
altitude record Of 47,352 feet.
Although this altitude record sub
ject Is the spectacular part Of such a
flight from q public standpoint, my
interest has much more to do with
doubling the speed Of the airplane,
with the same horsepower. OF course,
! hope to set q new altitude record
for airplanes, but I shall not be dis
appointed at all II I fail to do so,
because know have increased the
speed Of the ship to $50 miles an hour,
or more, at an altitude Of $4,000 feet
and could carry q load very efficiently
at that altitude.
My plane was not originally developed
to set q record, but to climb to the
rarified air, decrease resistance and
thus gain speed.
To Make Flight This Week.
It has taken two or three times as
long as expected, at first, to get the
plane together. Some plane parts
which needed to construct the ship
as knew it must be were at one end
Of the country, some at the other,
and, quite naturally, couldn't be at
both places at the same time.
It Is my present intention to make
the altitude flight tomorrow or We'd
nesday. Weather requirements for
such an endeavor are not similar to
the requirements for balloon flight
into the higher attitudes. They are
not nearly as strict in the case of
my airplane, or of any other airplane,
for that matter. But want to come
back to earth at the same place where
l make my start. IF I were to sail
through the clouds for an hour or
two. in a high wind, might not know
where was, and might not have suf-
ncient gas to fly back to the exact
point where I started.
Wants Clear Day.
Therefore I want O clear day for
my flight, SO I'll know where 7 am
at all times. That's all I ask. On
day when there Is high barometer,
and the weather is cold, I can prob
ably ny the plane 2.000 or 5000 feet
higher than could on a day when
the weather is warm and there is
q low barometer.
l shall take no food or drink with
me. expect to be UP only two or
three hours at the most. The spe-
cially built suit which I shall wear is
lined with flexible rubber, with a rein
forced canvas cover and a duralumin
helmet very much on the order of those

DETROIT TITANS PROVE REAL TEST
 FOR VILLANOVA

Villanova, Pa, Oct 17-villanova will oppose one of the strongest passing teams in college football next Saturday when it takes on the University of Detroit in its first in- tersectional battle at the Villanova Stadium.
 Co-Captain Douglas Mott, who completed 53 passes for the total gain of 1092 yards for the Titans last season, is the player around whom the Detroit's serial game is built. It was the right-handed as well as the left-handed passes fired by Mott that gave Detroit 2S to 12 triumph over Villanova in their game here three years ago.
 Mott is one of the few college backs who fires passes with either hand. For this reason he and his mates have been able to outguess their opponents on many occa- sions. A pet trick of Knott's is to fake a forward with his right and then quickly transfer the ball to his left. In this manner he is able to upset the opposing teams pass ing defense, and to which half the time can only guess with which hand Knott will pass.
 In their appearance here in 1881, Gus Dorias Titans had the villanova gridders running around in circles every time a play was called. Out of 14 tries, the Vest ern eleven completed 10 aerials with Knott on the firing end of almost every one.
