Ellsworth and His Pilot
Rescued in Antarctica

\ LII the world rejoiced over the
1 \ news that Lincoln Ellsworth,
noted explorer, and his pilot, Her
bert Hollick Kenyon, had been
found safe and we'll in Little Amer
lea and were on board the rescue
ship Discovery II which was sent
Jointly by the British and Austria
liam governments. The two men
had been missing since November
% when they started on a bold air
plane flight across the Antarctic
continent. In this they succeeded,
but they ran out of fuel and were
forced to land at the bay of Whales.
They had a considerable supply OF
provisions, but this was almost ex-
hausted when they were found. No
word had come from them because
their radio transmitter was disa-
bled

money would be appropriated for the
investigations which Nye's NUM-
tions committee has been carrying
on.
Carter Glass, the fiery old Virgin
ian who was Wilson'S secretary of
the treasury, was especially bitter
in his attack on the North Dako-
tan and by skillful direction man
aged to express his opinion of his
fellow senator without violating the
senate rules. Said he:
IF it were permissible in the SEN
ate to say that any man who would
asperse the integrity and veracity
of Woodrow Wilson is coward If
it were permissible to say that his
charge is not only malicious but
positively mendacious, that | would
be glad to say here and elsewhere
to any man, whether he be a Unit
ed State senator or not, because the
charge would be not only destitute
Of decency but it would be such a
shocking exhibition as never has
happened in the 50 years ! have
served in the congress of the Unit
ed States"
The attacks on Senator Nye were
not confined to his charge that
President Wilson was falsiher. He

denly and unexpectedly, because he
did not agree with all the policies
Of the administration. At the same
time Assistant Secretary Lawrence
w. Robert resigned. President
Roosevelt accepted both resigna-
tons. 1t was understood there was
no connection between the two
Withdrawals. Mr.. Robert had been
expected for some time to quit his
post.
In his treasury position Mr.. Coo
lidge, long a New England banker,
has been in charge of such govern
ment financial affairs as the huge
borrowings of money to meet heavy
government expenditures. He was
understood to be in accord with
most Roosevelt policies but felt he
was unable to give his full support
to the general New Deal program.
1t was not learned what specific
objections were raised by Mr.. Coo
lidge but they were believed to re-
volve around such constitutional
questions as federal versus state
rights.

Seventeen Persons Die
in Airplane Crash

EVENTEEN persons met a tragic
" fate in the worst airplane ac
cident that the United States has
had. A big transport plane of the
American Airlines, en- route from
New York to Los Angeles, crashed
in swamp near the village of
Goodwin, Ark, and it's IA passen-
gers, two pilots and stewardess
were killed. With great difficulty
the bodies of the victims were
brought out Of the marsh where
their bodies were found scattered

Supreme Court Orders
Process Tax Return

CUMMARILY overruling the gov
- ernment's petition for a rehear-
ing of the Louisiana rice millers
cases, involving the refund of some
200 million dollars in processing
taxes held in escrow, the United
States Supreme court issued it's
mandate ordering the return of the
funds to the taxpayers.
The court also issued it's mandate
in the Hoosac mills cases, in which
the Agricultural Adjustment act was
held unconstitutional and thereby
closed the door to petitions for
rehearing in that case. In third
action the court ordered arguments
on February 4 on the New Deals
motion to dismiss suit brought by
the state of Georgia to test the con-
stitutionality of the Bankhead COM
pulsory cotton control act.

Russia Ready for War With
Japan and Germany

COVIET RUSSIA expects to be at
" tackled on both TANKS, and is
making ready for the conflict, feel!
ing that it can count for defense
only on it's own forces. The govern
ment's newspaper Journal de Mos
cou, asserts that Germany and ia
pan have completed a military coali
ton or are about to do so, and that
it appears Italy wishes to join that
alliance.
The Soviet Union already has de-
livered it's answer to alleged war
threats With the announcement that
it's army-the greatest in the world
has been increased during the
last year to 100000 men. The
Bolsheviks estimate they also have
trained reserve as large as that
under the cars, when 100000
were called to arms.
If this expected war comes in the
east it will start because Of the at
tacks by Manchukuo on the Mon
golian frontier, where there have
been repeated clashes. In the west
| it may begin with an attempt of
Germany and Poland to conquer the
| Ukraine.

Japan Quits Naval Farley,
Others Garry On

"
FAILING in their demand for the
= right of full equality of naval
strength for Japan with Great Brit
tain and the United States, the Jap
anese delegates withdrew from the
conference in London and prepared
to go home. The American, British,
French and italian delegates, how
ever, refused to let the parley col
lapse and constituted themselves
four-power conference. Their hope
is that they may arrive at some
agreement on the size of Warships
and on limitation of gun calibers;
but any real building limitation
agreement is admittedly impossible
without Japan. 1t is the intention
to invite Germany and Russia to
take part in the deliberations, and
later the Balkan nations may be in
vited to participate.
