SOCIAL SECURITY .
ACT MAY CHANGE
Amendment May Be Asked
to Dull Several Thorns
of Administration.

BY the Associated Press.
A move to amend the social security
act in the next Congress was hinted
as a possibility today as officials
studied over several thorny problems
of administration.
The legislation gives the Social Se-
curity Board the imagination-st
ing task of checking the wages Of each
of the Nations 2S,OOO,0OO workers
after 1886.
Tentative. plans call for obtaining
the data from employers. Whether
this can be accomplished through
social security tax returns or whether
supplemental questionnaires will be
necessary has not been determined.
1nterdepartmental studies have
raised the question whether the board
has authority to compel answers to
such queStionnaires.
One official said an amendment may
become imperative if supplemental
missionaries are found necessary,
They are not authorized by the law.
The act directs the Secretaries of
the Treasury and Labor, and the
board, to make and publish such
rules and regulations as may be
necessary to the efficient administra-
ton of the functions with which each
Is charged under this act"
1t stipulates that old-age benefits.
payable in 1912. must be based on total
wages earned after 1886. No provision
for obtaining the information was
made.
officials are studying whether re-
turns for the old-age taxes. which be-
come effective in 1887, can be so drawn
as to elicit the data.
If supplemental questionnaires are
needed, however, there apparently is
no provision in the act itself for the
punishment OF employers who decline
to answer. Other statutes are being
searched TO determine whether any
would provide the compulsion sought.
Methods of identifying applicants
for old age pensions are receiving
careful study.
Census records card -indexed as a
work-relief project will assist the
board in checking applicants ages.

BYRD DESCRIBES
TRIP TO ANTART|C
10000 Square Miles Added
to World Map, Admiral
Tells Audience.

Hardships and scientific achieve
ments of the second Byrd Antarctic
expedition were described by Rear
Admiral Richard E. Ryrd last night,
addressing the National Geographic
Society in Constitution Hall.
Twenty thousand square miles were
added to the world map by the expe-
dition, the explorer said, and proof
was gathered to indicate Antarctica
IS one vast area of land, rather than
two. as was formerly believed.
Although four years intervened be-
tween the two trips to the Antarctic
Admiral Byrd said that on the second
expedition, which was completed a
year ago, his party found everything
much as it left it four years earlier,
except that drifted snow had covered
the entire settlement. Only the radio
towers were visible. Food left on the
stove had frozen. but on heating was
found to be good for consumption.
Lights in Tunnels Work.
Because of the severe cold and pro-
tecting snow. Admiral Byrd explained.
there was little damage to Little
America. The Floyd Bennett, the
plane in which he flew to the South
Pole during the first expedition, was
found intact when dug out OF the
snow, When his men pulled switch,
electric lights family appeared IN
tunnels and huts.
"Antarctica," the explorer declared,
'is the home of the blizzard ana an
example of conditions existing In
North America some 10000 years ago.
Because it is in the throes OF an
ice age it is a most fertile fleld
for. science, and % branches OF
science were represented on the ex-
pedition."
Scientists who accompanied him
discovered that in the clear SKY OF
Antarctica one can observe a shoot
ing star every second, Admiral Byrd
said. Parties moving from base by
tractors. dog sleds and airplanes re-
turned with valuable scientific data.
Mountains never before seen by men
were mapped. 1t was discovered that
one range of mountains contained
vast supplies of coal.
Tells of Lone Vigil.
Admiral Byrd told his audience of
a personal adventure in the Ant
arctic. a lone vigil l23 miles from
Little America. which nearly cost his
life. Living in a snow-buried hut
and making meteorological observa-
tions, he was cut off from the rest
of his party by dangerous crevasses
over the 1913 intervening miles Of ice
and snow. Repeated attempts by the
explorers to reach their marooned
leader failed. When the admiral's
radio signals became weak, however,
a last desperate effort was made and
succeeded, but Byrd was found in
such a weakened condition that it
was two months before he could be
taken to the expeditions base
Motion pictures with which Admiral
Byrd illustrated his remarks showed
the difficulty of navigation of the ex-
petitions boats, the binding snow
storms and other perils which had to
be overcome. Yet, as on the first
Antarctic expedition, he returned with
out the loss of a man.
Admiral Byrd's lecture was the be-
ginning of the forty-ninth series by the
Geographic Society. DR.. Gilbert Gros-
venor, president, reported last night
that since the last lecture season, the
society had increased by more than
100000 members, and the present
membership IS again greater than
100000.

White House has not made it public,
it was understood no objection would

BORAH OHIO ENTRY
HIT BY LEADERS
Say Plans Call for Unin.
structed Delegation
Next Year.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
XENIA, Ohio, November 10
Speculation on the possibility OF SEN
ator Borah of Idaho filing in Ohio
for the Republican nomination for
President prompted G. o. P. spokes-
man to declare today that would be
contrary to the plans of most lead
erS here
Representative Leroy T. Marshall
recalled the agreement made by 81
prominent Ohio Republicans October
4 to send an uninstructed delegation
to the national convention next year.
I'VE have refrained from discuss
ing candidates, of course" Marshall
said but if outside candidates, in
Guiding Borah. came into Ohio and
attempted to file names of candidates
for delegates, it would be contrary
both to the wishes and the plans of
most of the leaders"
Young Republicans Vote.
Yet it was recalled that young
Ohio Republicans recently divided al
most evenly in poll on favorite
presidential possibilities between Sem
ator Borah and Gov. Landon of Kan
sas, giving Borah % first choice votes
and Landon 90
But Marshall reiterated emphati-
cally, "Ohio is hoping for unattached
delegates"
A resolution adopted by the 81
leaders said that because of the pres
ent lack of crystallization of senti-
ment as to Republican presidential
possibilities it will probably be advis-
able that the Ohio delegation to the
convention be a favorite son delega-
ton.
The State Central Committee still
has to act on the resolution. but
Chairman Ed D. Schorr of Columbus
has predicted ratification.
Favorite Son Movement.
The leaders made no effort to select
favorite son to whom the delegation
would be pledged to conform to Ohio
laws They await recommendations
from the State Central Committee.
Should he decide to file in Ohio,
Borah would have to file candidates
for delegates in each congressional
district early in March, 1936-60 days
before the primaries in May.
Marshall said he believed other
Ohio Republican leaders would well
come Borah on speaking tour.
"A speaking tour would not be con-
trary TO plans" he said, but can
didacy in Ohio most certainly would -

GERMANS OPPOSE
EXPORT VOUCHERS
Resentment Flares Up at
Britain's Demands to
Insure Italy Curb.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN. November 1e-The Ger
man Government, informed by Great
Britain that German goods exported
to England after November 18 must
be accompanied by certificates of
origin. protested today that this re-
quirement contravenes the Anglo
German trade agreement
The date fixed by Great Britain is
that upon which economic and finan-
cial sanctions, as instituted by the
League of Nations. go into effect
against Italy. Great Britain is max
ing certain that imports into that
country do not originate il. Italy and
enter England by way of non-League
countries.
The official German communique
announcing the protest declared:
In the opinion of German official
quarters, the demand for certificates
of origin for German goods is, in this
case. not in harmony with certain
provisions Of the German British
trade agreement"
DNhhcos
Another point of irritation was con-
Sidered by observers to be the report
that Reichsfuehrer Hitler had given
verbal assurances to both Great Bri-
tain and France that he would prevent
Germany from being used as an as
sembly point for foreign goods des-
til ed for Italy.
This pledge, understood to have
been made several days ago. was re-
ported by spokesman for diplomatic
quarters with only one day remaining
before the League of Nations under
takes to put an embargo on shipment
of certain key products to Italy as a
penalty for the Fascist nations cam
paign of occupation in Ethiopia.
Der Fuehrer's assurances were said
to apply to Germans and foreigners
alike in his reported intention to pre-
vent all persons from gathering goods
here for movement to Italy.
Embargo Effective Tonight.
Berlin diplomats regarded such ac-
ton as implementing greatly the Ger
man embargo on Reich exports, which
became effective at midnight.
The Government had announced its
ban on expectation of certain impor-
tant foodstuffs and raw materials on
the grounds of home necessity, with
out referring to the sanctions voted
against Italy by the League of Ma
tions.
THE export ban is concerned solely
with German internal and economic
necessities" the official announce
ment November IL said.
Germany normally imports, rather
than exports most industrial raw ma
terials with the exception of iron, the
announcement said, and therefore it
injuries our economy when, suddenly,
these products begin to be exported"
The list of forbidden exports did
not include coal and copper. Coal
has been the largest German export
to Italy.
The embargo generally became
effective today, except for the ban on
iron exports. which will 60 into effect
November Is.
The list issued by the Government
included aluminium, nickel, magne-
SUM. manganese. bauxite, hides.
yarns, potatoes, oils. cooking fats and
all raw materials for metallurgical and
rubber industries,

fatally wound her husband whom
she married nine years ago in Bal
timore, and who in spite of his
treatment and abuse she still
loved.
Mrs. Cedar told officers again

elimination of numerous assaults
which reached the point that she
often was in fear OF her life. She
claims that her husband, intoxi-
Gated, threatened and attacked
her so viciouSly that she grabbed
the revolver which she had kept
in the house for several months
and fired.
The deliberately furnished little
bungalow, the home of the Co
dar's, which has been closed by

opened yesterday by members of
the Cedar family. A Washington
Times reporter, who accompanied
member of the family, found
the breakfast room in great dis
