the rainy air. AS If trigger had

forward, gathered speed and raced
along the one-mile runway. 1t

forward alta terrific speed. It just
cleared the trees at the end of the
field.
Word Flashed Quickly
The plane had not gone out Of
sight in the rain before wireless
stations were flashing word to
four icebreakers and 10 planes In
the Soviet Arctic that the flyers
were off. Weather stations were
advised and the exchange OF mes
sages that will continue until the
end of the flight was intensified.
Success will mean that the plane
has made not only the most dan

straight flight in point Of dis

 Included in the clubs program were college songs, sea chanteyS, plantation songs, and 8 more or less popular group.

Was Help of Peace

London, Dec. 7.-(UP).-Disclos- ure in American newspapers Of a deal between Italy and the sub- sidiary of an American oil company was a real service to world peace, Sir Walter Layton, British econom- ist, sald in an interview today.
 "The revelation of a plan to cir cumvent any embargo upon oil shipments to Italy which the League of Nations might order was also a display of great fearlessness," he added.
 Exposure of Italy's efforts to as- sure herself of the oil supply she needs for prosecution of war in East Africa probably will cause the "gentlemen's agreement" to tal through, Sir Walter believed.
 The oil company's agreement te pipe oil into Italy from wells which 1t control soutside of the United States, the economist said, was con. trary to the spirit and policy o1 the administration at Washington and calculated to prolong the Italo' Ethiopian war"
 It may be hoped" Sir Walter said, that the disclosure will render the attempt abortive, and at leas strengthen American opinion in 1t! determination that America shal not assist, either directly or indi' rectly, in making possible the con tinuance of war.
 "The scheme shows how vital oi is to Italy. Knowledge that the ne gotiations were in progress perhap explains Mussolini's statement tha imposition of an oil embargo 'woule not affect in any way his conduct O. the campaign in East Africa"

 But even more important is the prospect that the conference will end tonight with the two old allies ready to work together not only as regards Italy but as regards all Europe.

MYSTERY PARKER

s<Trenton, N. J., Dec. 7-(UP)- Mysterious activities of Ellis How ard Parker, graying detective of the HaIl-Mills case and 300 other major crimes, substantiated reports today that he believes he can prove Bruno Richard Hauptmann innocent of the murder of the Lindbergh baby.
 Parker secretly deserted his home in Mount Holly and was discovered living in the Elks club near by, Protected from all questioners by fellow members. He had disappear ed Thursday when Gov. Harold G.. Hoffman revealed that he was con- ducting a private investigation of the crime for which Hauptmann is condemned.
 Parker's secretary had said he was hunting. He went to the Elks club late, last night and no explanation was available. Gov. Hoffman de- nied published reports today that Parker had made an arrest or had told him the name of the person he suspected of the Kidnapping.
 If the United States supreme court refuses Monday to review Hauptmann's conviction on con- stitutional grounds Hauptmann will ask the court of pardons, as his ! last hope for life, to pardon him, parole him or commute his sentence ,ko Imprisonment. Until Thursday there was no thought that the court would consider a pardon or parole. Today it seemed possible Haupt- 1nRnn'S mercy request would be Riveu serious consideration.
 .1 Long Work on Case
 United States Senator A. Harry Moore, governor at the time the : Iaindbergh baby was Kidnapped and murdered, said Parker had worked Independently on the case since its inception and had talked with him about 1t several times. al Parker is chief of detectives of rural Burlington county. He is 63, efizzled of hair and mustache and 80 heavy that he rolls when he walks, but his eyes squint keenly. County records show he has solved 200 of 238 murder cases on which he has worked.
 ]. Hauptmann, his slight blonde wife and their chief attorney. c. Lloyd Fisher, were jubilant over the swift change in attitude toward the Ger man carpenters long fight for freedom. Mrs. Hauptmann smiled In q cold wind outside the prison sesterday, after a visit to her hus- Aand. and said she found him "very cheerful, indeed"

 Dotted through the chamber were empty seats of Fascists who have gone to war.
 Until the last moment officials refused to say specifically that Mus solini would make. real speech. But arrangements were made to seat the entire diplomatic corps, a na- tional wireless broadcast of the chamber proceedings was arranged and it was accepted that only de- velopments of urgent importance in the diplomatic field could cause a change in the unofficially admitted plan for a pronouncement of world importance from the man who holds Italy's immediate destiny in his hands.
 In Fighting Mood
 It was known that MusSolini was in fighting mood. He is not going to close the door to real peace ne- gotiation, but it was apparent that he was not ready to yield in his de- mand that Italy'S desire for ex- pahsion must be recognized by the powers.
 His attitude, as outlined in ad- vance of the meeting, was:
 That he warns members of the League of Nations against imposing additional penalties against Italy for its war on Epthiopia.
 2.-That he regards the high light" peace proposals sent him unofficially by Premier Pierre Laval in behalf of France and Great Brit ain go little further than those of the league councils committee of five which he summarily rejected months ago.
 3.-That he is proud of the man. ner in which the country is back ing him in his fight against the league.
 Complete Pessimism. On the diplomatic front govern ment spokesmen maintained an air of complete pessimism. It was ap- parent that in depreciating the im- portance of the French British peace effort they were thinking simultaneously of the possibility that 8 date for an oil embargo may be set when the leagues general staff meets at Geneva next Thursday. The League of Nations want peace talk first; Italian want peace talk pre- ceded by a more peaceable and conciliatory attitude as regards pen- alties.
 The fight on the home front against league penalties continued to gain. Crown Prince Humbert and Grown Princess Marie Jose followed up the gift of their wedding rings to the gold fund by a gift of bar gold obtained by melting down per- sonal jewelry.
