Police inquiring into the murder Of

dictaphone records, used by the pretty
public stenographer, in an effort TO
cast additional light on her business
associates and possible enemies.

Georges County police went to the Of

ing where Miss Loring had been en-
played and scrutinized the records.
The stenographer, however, had
cleaned the surfaces of ali the records
for reuse.
Lieut.. Joseph Itzel of the Baltimore
homicide squad reiterated today that
the murder investigation would be a
long drawn out affair. Although he
has the typewriter statements of a
score of persons relating to Miss Lor-

LONDON, November 2f-The halt
in plans for the establishment of an
autonomous North China was said by
an authoritative source today to hava
been due to pressure brought by Great
Britain.
1t was indicated that the British
used their influence to stiffen the
stand of Generalissimo Chang Kai-
Shek, Chinese national leader, in op-
position to North China's split from
the Nanking government.
At the same time, it was said, the
British played strong diplomatic
hand in Toxic to check the handling
of the situation by Mai. Gen. Kenji
Doihara, commander of the japanese
Army on the Continent.
In well-informed quarters it was
stated that the British had assured
the Chinese they had no desire to
interfere with normal, pacific jap
anese economic penetration of the ter
ritory involved.
The foreign Office today announced
Great Britain and the United States
have exchanged views regarding the
situation in North China.
They are keeping in close touch
with the incidents there, the an-
nouncement added, pending clarifica-
ton of the situation. which the British
foreign Office described as more hope
fui."
Reports from Toxic that Japan is
not bringing military pressure to bear
in North China gave satisfaction in
authoritative quarters here.

DUNDEE ISLAND, Antarctic Ar
chipelago, November 20 (By Radio)
(NA.N.A1.-We are back at the
Wyatt carp, our base ship, after three
hours and eleven minutes of flying in
our attempt to span the Antarctic
Continent from the Weddell Sea to
the Ross Sea. In spite of ideal
weather and a favorable take-oh
field, bad luck seems to dog us.
We took off this morning at TAG
Greenwich mean time (2:46 am. East
err standard time), which is about 4
am. by our ship time, and everything
seemed to be in our favor. The engi-
neers and the crew had been busy
since before midnight hauling gas and
preparing the machine, and we needed
their help to move the machine from
where the skis froze to the snow last
night.
Once started, however, the machine
TAXED well and continued up the slope
of Dundee Island, from where We
reached a point from which we had
a runway of more than mile in each
direction. There was fresh north by
westerly breeze blowing at about IS
miles an hour, and we headed into this
and fortunately toward a slight down
grade.
The Polar Star did remarkably we'll,
for, even though the temperature was
degrees below zero centigrade (about
1S degrees above zero Fshrenheit) and
the coarse grains Of the snow, drifting
with the wind, made the surface gritty,

1000 pounds into the air in less than
a half-mile run.
It was a great moment and a thrill
to feel that at last, after three years
of effort, we were of with full load
of fuel, good weather and apparently
every prospect of success.
We climbed Immediately to 2,4O0 feet
and headed for Snow Hill Island. our

sun was skimming along few degrees
above the horizon, its rays tingeing
the mountains of Graham Land with
gold.
TIC the southeast a small atmos-
pheric disturbance with its center to
the west and beyond Graham Land
was indicated by a long string of
stratus clouds, leaving a dark-hued
area. It was not far from blocking
our way, but to the eastward and
along our course the way seemed clear.
We passed to the west of Snow Hill
Island, at an altitude Of 4,500 feet,
and were over the Larsen ice barrier
at $50 am, Greenwich time. AS far
as we could see to the southeast the
Weddell Sea was open. The engine
