V VIKINGS were sissies stacked up
~ against Hardy Nurmsen, 28-
" year-old New Yorker, who
put his 15-foot canoe up the
Potomac to the Capital yesterday, after
putting some $500 miles behind him
since leaving home nearly a year ago.
Hardys trip dates back to last July
4. when he decided to take year off
from his job of painting and decorat-
ing to see something of the country
he adopted in preference to bis native
Estonia.
His employer, a sea-going man him.
self. agreed to the furlough and said
Hardy could have his job back if he
didn't stay away more than a year
so that's Hardy's big problem, getting
back in less than a week.
Only 500 miles separates the young
voyager from New York City-just a
breeze" after what he's gone through
but he can't possibly make it by
keeping up the 20-mile day average
he has stuck to.
Padded Down Mississippi.
Down the Hudson, across the Great
Lakes, through the Illinois waterway,
down the Mississippi. over the Gulf
Of Mexico and the Florida Keys and
up the Atlantic Coast-that's rough
sketch of Hardy's itinerary.
He endured October and November
in the Great Lakes: lost his canoe and
had to swim two miles during blow"
on Lake Erie; nearly froze on the
Mississippi in December, and was
nearly stricken by the sun in Southern

EUROPE HARD HIT
BYETH|0P|AN WAR
Cost, Excluding Italy, Esti.
mated at More Than
$500, 900 Per Day.
Py the Associated Press.

LONDON. June 30-Premier Musso-
lini's conquest Of Ethiopia cost Europe,
excluding Italy, more than 100000 a
day.
Italy's own bill for the East African
war remains largely secret. But her
extraordinary appropriations alone
amounted to almost s1.o00,o00. 900.
Italians, in public statements, have
sought generally to minimize the effect
of sanctions.
1t is known, however, the measures
have meant loss of some foreign mar
kets. which may be regained later; a
tremendous effort to develop Italian
raw materials and substitutes; a
change in the nature Of Italy's i'm
ports, which has eliminated luxuries
and non-essentials almost entirely;
elimination in the trade deficit corre-
spending to the decrease in imports
and exports. and an appreciable drop
in tourist expenditures.
League of Nations figures made
public last month showed exports from
Italy to % countries fell from a gold
value of s131, 200, 900 in March. 1885,
to S6,200.000 in March, 1896. The
non-sanctionist nations Of Germany,
Austria, Albania and Hungary were
included in the compilation.)
Estimate Based on Survey.
The cost of more than half a mil
lion dollars daily to Europe, estimated
from an Associated Press survey, ex-
tended from the time of the Italian
invasion of Ethiopia to the fall of
Adds Ababa.
Europes burden has been felt in
many ways, from triple increases i'll
prices of lemons in Denmark to disap-
pearance of lucrative coal market in
Wales.
Great Britain, occupying the dual
role of important trader and mistress
of the Mediterranean, shouldered the
brunt.
In seven months, the Italo-Ethio-
plan conflict cost the United King
dom more than $4,000 900, of which
over half was direct charge on the
taxpayer for the cost of special mill
tary, naval and aerial defense pre-
cautions.
From the British taxpayers pockets
also came $45,000 paid to compensate
Yugoslavia for her losses in enforcing
sanctions.
Trade With Italy Dwindles.
On the export side British trade with
Italy dwindled during the six months
ending March 81 to $4,000, 900, COM
pared with 100000 in the same
period in 1934-5.
France was. second in the list of
heavy losers, as business estimated its
losses from sanctions at approximately
s21, 100000.
Exporters say sanctions have:
/. Tied up in Italy $26, 400, 900 due
French exporters for goods sold in
Italy before financial relations were
severed.
2. Cost hundreds of millions of
francs in Cancelled contracts, figured
in the estimated trade loss.
3. Decreased employment. IL
Denmark's losses were figured to be
at least 100000.
Switzerland's exports to Italy in the
first six months of sanctions dropped
approximately $5,100,oo0 under the |
figure for the corresponding period a |
year earlier.
Turkey was regarded as one of the
few countries which profited during
the sanctions period, because she was
able to supply goods, particularly
coal, which was not on the sanctions |
list, due to her $4,000 900 debt to Italy
for two submarines and several sea-
planes previously purchased.

Representative Promises He Will Re-
turn to Capital.

A restrained, subdued Representa-
tive Marion A. Zioncheck, such as
Washington has not known for many
months, was speeding westward today
aboard a train to see his mother, ill
in Seattle hospital, and to start his
campaign to return to Washington,
still as the Representative from
Seattle.
In the spotlight to the last, with
movie cameras grinding and news
cameras clicking away as crowd of
curious onlookers at the Union Sta
tion gaped. Zioncheck bid farewell to
the city he had kept in an uproar
for six months and boarded a train
for Chicago, where he will transfer
TO a plane that will take him more
speedily to the West Coast.
The Zioncheck who left Washing
ton last night, however, was not the
Zioncheck who set the Capital agog
New Year eve by plugging in the
telephone lines helter skelter in
fashionable apartment house in the
Northwest section, nor the Zioncheck
who eliminated whirlwind courtship
with a marriage and stormy honey
moon trip to the West Indies, nor the
zioncheck who climaxed a day of
spectacular exploits a month ago by,
leaving two empty beer bottles at the
White House and winding up in the
psychopathic ward at Gallinger Hos
pital posing jokingly for photog-
raphers.
Refuses to Wave.
Asked to oblige with wave, as he
stood facing battery of twoscore
cameras and news reel photographers,
the Washington Representative quietly
puffed his cigar and replied:
Il think not"
Smile he did, but it was not the
expansive, boyiSh, obliging smile of
a few weeks ago, before he was rorcibly
taken from Gallinger Hospital, where
he had been under mental observation
for three weeks, to the Sheppard and
Enoch Pratt Hospital at Townson, Md,
from which he staked a spectacular
escape Sunday by vaulting over an
B-foot fence and hiding in the woods.
Asked so say something-anything Just

make quick reply:

1UriterS and orators frequently hare
assailed james A. Farley for hold

man and Mem. York Democratic
chairman. Almost as frequently

James A. Farley's dual role as Post
master General and chairman OF the
Democratic National Committeeman
the question whether he may quit the
cabinet post-aroused new interest to-
day as the Autumn election campaign
hit its stride
Farley was reported by one source
to have sent his resignation to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and from another came
the suggestion that he might take a
leave of absence from the Post Office
Department.
Silent on Future Resignation.
In Atlantic City, where he went for
rest, Farley said last night:
"I have not resigned as Postmaster
General and beyond that I have no
comment to make"
He parried question as to whether
he planned to resign later on, repeating
that he had no further comment to
make.
The New York Times, however, said
in Washington dispatch that Farley
had sent his resignation from the
cabinet to President Roosevelt in order
that he might concentrate on the
duties of his political post.
The newspaper added that the
resignation would be accepted and
that william w. Howes, first assist
ant, would become Acting Postmaster
General. Some Democrats were said
by the newspaper to believe that if
Mr.. Roosevelt Is reelected Farley
would be reappointed to the cabinet
post. Opposition to this plan also
was reported along with indications
that the Presidents reelection might
mean a new Postmaster General.
Leave of Absence Suggested.
In Washington some sources sug-
geSted that Farley might take leave
Of absence until after the conclusion
of the campaign.
Should this be the plan, usually
well-informed sources indicated. Far
ley still would be in a position to
devote his entire attention to politics.
This move, it was suggested, would
leave Howes as acting chief of the
