The TuvelerS Notebook
By Jacques Futrelle, Jr.

"HE request of an airline pas
senger to "hold the plane q
few minutes for me" has been
i reduced by exacting business
statisticians to dollar-and-
cents cost basis. The strict adher-
ence of transportation companies to
schedules is not q senseless fetish;
delays cost money, and Eastern Air
lines has compiled a chart to show
the public that some late take-offs go
so far as to nullify the payment a
passenger has made for his trans
portation.
The public goes on the theory that
few minutes lost time can be made
up by the pilot. AS a rule 1t can be,
but at an extra cost. Air schedules
are based not alone on the speed Of the
plane, but on the most efficient or
economical speed. Capacity speeds
are wasteful, not only in fuel and oil,
but in overhaulS, wear and reliability.
The chart made up by Chief En-
gineer Eddie Allen of Eastern Air
lines Is based on the Newark Wash
ington flight. On a 300-mile trip,
a three-minute delay requires per
cent more power to make up lost
time. The additional cost required
has been figured at $3.50. On a
200-mile flight, a seven minute delay
requires Is per cent more power and
costs SIG. A six-minute delay over
this distance costs $13, or the entire
revenue from one passenger.
A IR-conditioned trains of the West
ern railroads are expected to use
100000 pounds Of ice this coming
Summer to cool their passengers. The
ice on many of the trains is stored in
"bunkers" under the cars, between
$500 and 4,8OO pounds being loaded
on before the start Of each trip. Out
side air is pumped between the sheets
of water that comes from the cakes,
and cool breeze then goes into the
cars. The air is withdrawn as 1t is
used.
In connection with the air -condi-
toned trains, the Western Associs-
ton of Railroad Executives makes
the humorous observation that after
all these years, railroad windows now
cannot be lifted. They tested the
biceps of strong men before; now
there is no hope of lifting the win
dows, and. furthermore, no desire.
It's nicer to leave them closed.

France, still anxious over German
rearmament, has rushed colonial
troop reinforcements to the Rhine

Colonial army units already in

were in areas close to the German
border, reinforcing regiments re-

to answer Adolf ,Hitler's threat.

EAST AFRICAN
WAR THREAT
MORE ACUTE
Italians Warned "None
Can ForetelI When War
Will Break Out"

ROME, March 30.-(UP).-
Threat of war between Italy and
Abysisnia over border disputes in
East Africa increased last night
when it was announced Abyssinia
had abandoned direct negotiations
with Italy.
simultaneously, Gen. FREDERICK
Baistrocchi. under-secretary Of
war, told the senate that war may
be expected at any time and that
"Italy will have 100000 men
fully equipped by the end Of
April"
"None can foretell when war
will break out" Baistrocchi said,
"but it is safe to say it will occur
most unexpectedly. after a few
days of political strain. The pos
sibility of sudden breaking Of
war impels us to be ready to do
our utmost in order to be able to
take the initiative and prevent the
enmey from imposing It's will upon
u.s."
Abyssinia's ending direct nego-
tiations brought the two countries
to a fresh deadlock, with Abys-
sinia insisting en- action by the
League of Nations. Italy opposes
intervention by Geneva, insisting
on resumption of direct negotia-
tions under terms of an Italo-
Abyssinian treaty.
This turn in already badly
strained relations occurred when
the Abyssinian foreign ministry
refused to hold further converse
tions with the Italian Minister in
Adds Ababa, according to ltaly's
version of the friction.
Referring to the threat of con-
flict in Africa with Abyssinia over
border disputes, Baistrocchl said:
"The names of the divisions
sent to East Africa, namely, Gavl-
mana and Peloritana, have become
household words among our peo-
pie, as will the name of Sabauda
in the near future"
The remark was interpreted to
mean the Sabauda division sta
toned at Cagliari, Sardinia, soon
will be detailed to East Africa.
Another indication of more Sc
rious trouble shortly was seen
when the war department ordered
families of officers resident in the
East African colonies to evacuate
ain case of necessity"

MOSCOW, March 3O.-UP)-
As the results of two days of con-
versations between the British and
Russian statesmen became appar-
emit last night, the talks, at least
from the British viewpoint, are
purely exploratory and, barring
miracles, are not likely to produce
concrete agreements on any
points.
Capt. Anthony Eden, British
Lord Privy Seal and peace envoy,
devoted yesterday to an hour and
a halls talk with Foreign Com
missar Maxim Litvinoff and an
hours informal interview with
Josef Stain, the Soviet Unions
strong man.
The results remained their Sc
cret, and earlier rumors of a Far
Eastern security pact involving
Russia, Britain. the United States
and Japan, were officially denied
by a government spokesman.
The Eden-Litvinoff conversation
was devoted mostly to outstanding
Anglo-Russian problems, while his
talk with Stain ranged over the
general field of international poll
tics.
The conversations were con-
tinued today at Litvinoff's coun-
try estate, "Dascha," outside Mos
COW. In the view of observers
here, the conversations may be IN
terpreted as follows:
Britain realized the Soviet
Union was becoming increasingly
influential in European politics
and growing more powerful as a
military nation. hence she sent
her outstanding diplomat to make
a first-hand investigation to pro-
vide fresh information for fu-
ture policy. .,
From the Soviet viewpoint 1T
was important to know accurately
the British attitude toward the
Litvinoff-sponsored eastern Euro
pean security pact, as well as Ger
man rearmament and the results
of the British conversations IN
Berlin carrier this week.
The Soviet leaders are partlcu-
larly interested in the British at
titude toward the proposed "Eas-
tern Locarno", for while Britain
is not expected to sign 1t she can
exert a powerful influence on
other nations such as France and
Poland, whose signature is desired.
