 "On our first arrival in the Bay of Whales an orange colored (clothO with Q tent was observed on the bar- Tier face (the ice barrier that is the shore). A rocket was fired from the ship and not answered.
 "Our Moth airplane flew to Little America, five miles distant.
 "Hollick-Kenyon emerged and food parachute was dropped with letters.
 Pilot Advanced
 "Iiollick-Kenyon advanced to meet . party from the ship. He was received abroad at i2:60 c. El., Jane uary i6, and reported Ellsworth alive but suffering from Q slight cold.
 "The ships party is advancing to meet Ellsworth.
 "rhe American airmen say they ran out of fuel 20 miles from Little America on bearing of 18D degrees and Sledged in.
 (The bearing would indicate they were flying almost due south-so'ith by east.)
 Kenyon is very fit.
 "A transmitter switch caused tho radio failure"
 Lost Since November 2S
 Missing since November g on Q flight across Antarctica, they were found on the leo shelf shore of the Bay of Whales on the Antarctic continent.
 They told the crew of Discovery II, sent from New Zealand to search for them, that their fuel gave out 20 miles from Little America, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd's former base on the Bay of Whales. They gledged in to shore on the packed fec.
 Both American explorers, the mes- sage from Discovery II said, were in excellent condition. They took their flight knowing that they might bc isolated from tho world, in the bleakest part on tie globe, for many months.
 Ellsworth and Holllck-K Kenyon left Dundee Island, 600 miles south of Cape Horn, November g, to fly across Antarctica to the Bay of Whales.
 Attained Destination
 Thus Ellsworth attained his des. tination in his daring flight across Antarctica.
 Discovery II reached the Bay of Whales Wednesday night, after c voyage from New Zealand in search of Ellsworth. It sent wireless message which indicated that 1t had seen Q man and on airplane. But the message was 50 garbled it was impossible to say with certainty that the man seen was Ellsworth or fIollick- Kenyon, or that either was safe.
 officials of the Colonial office, cooperating with members of the committee in charge of Discovery ITS work, stayed up oil night await ing additional word from the ship. Today's message meant that there need Do no worry about the ex- plorers.

 Tho federal government, through the REC, is willing to advance funds to the Beardsley and Wolcott Co.,, and had 0 representative from Bos- ton ct Wednesdays conference.

 The factory now has 0 skeleton force of some 90 odd employees at work, but would hire considerable additional help if normal operations were renewed.

 The city is willing to compromise on it's tax claims against the coin- pany only if the factory resumed regular schedules and remains here. Such 6 procedure would give em- ployment to Q large number of los cal people, many of them former employees of the factory.
 The petition for reorganization of the company is based on Section 77. D, the new federal statute, which gives stockholders the right to seek reorganization.

|''S principal prosecution witnesses 61afnst Hauptmann. pr. Condon, H1W un route to South America, will t1 home before JIauptmanns re-
 rlevo expires.
 Third. Gov. Hoffman was said to have grave doubts that the body Nnl. charles A. LindbNgh identified
 s that of his son, actually was. It Mna learned that he had expressed #is personal doubt that Col. Lind-
 6rRh's Identification was correct.
 Hoffman talked freely but, on the 1nestion of his motivation for Ernnting Hauptmann a 30-day re- 1rieve, he chose evasive language. m New York last night he said he had issued the reprieve because he Nlnst had to do It." "What will Mo In the next 90 days is something mat even I don't know" he said.
 IHauptmann May Change Story
 The report that Hauptman now &'as reday to change his story cen- tered on visits of his wife, Anna. First to Gov. Hoffman, then to Eauptinann in his death cell in state prison, then to the governor again. These occurred few hours before Hoffman dramatically announced ne reprieve "for divers reasons &nown to myself"
 Mrs. Hauptmann went to Hof1- nam to plead for her husbands life. zIe told her there would be no rec Efieve and to tell her husband that hIs one chance was to tell the <Euth." Mrs. Hauptmann carried fliis message to the death cell, and ibs was reported that Hauptmann told her to tell the governor he wanted to see him. Gov. Hauptman did not visit Hauptmann then and refused to say whether he would.
 The reprieve postponed Haupt- snnnn,s execution by at least two months, though there seemed little dpubt that eventually he would die ln the chair. Under New Jersey law. he now must be resentenced by Judge Thomas w. Trenchard, who nresided at his Remington trial. TKenchard must set new date Of execution not less than four weeks and not more than eight weeks from the expiration date of the reprieve.
 No Challenge To Reprieve
 While grave doubts of Hoff- mans authority to issue the rec nfieve remained, there will be no challenge. Attorney General David n. Wileptz, who had given as an ofilcial opinion that the governor aid not have the power, said he not question his authority. It was the attorney generals function to advise the governor, not to overrule

(Contlnued from Page 1) the measure regardless of the White House position.
 After Harrison'g opening speech and brief attacks upon the bonus bill from the republican side, prog ress toward senate passage was inc corrupted by resumption of the row over conduct of the senate inuitionS inquiry.
 Would Increase Debt
 Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., told the senate fi- nance committee, which favorably reported the bill, that cash payment of the bonus would increase the national debt to 93D,600, ,OOO,0 900.
 Passage, Morgenthaii said, would raise to e1i,0O000O,CO0 tho amount which the New Deal would bc re- qiired to borrow between now and June 90, 1037, Approximately halt would be for new financing, iii. creasing the national debt by sb.s OOO,OO0,OO0.
 T'he president in his budget mes- sage estimated c national debt Of 93l, ,3Oi, 100000 by June 90, 1OJ7. This, however, did not include prcb- able new relief appropriations, farm benefit payments and tho bonus.
 Daniel ". Bell, acting director Of the budget, testified before the cOflt-

him, he said. While the state con- stitution specifies that the governor Issue Q reprieve only within a 90 day period following conviction, number of Hoffman's predecessors had interpreted the clause differently, and he followed rneir precedent.
 Criticism came from all parts of the country, but in New Jersey it took the form Of a demand for Hoffman's impeachment. Hoffman, informed of the demands, said they were "a newspapermans dream" The Trenton Times, an independent newspaper, led the demand, which was said to have some support in the lower house of the legislature. His political enemies were planning to introduce impeachment proceed ings when the legislature recon. venes Monday night, unless polit- ical factors cause Q change in plans.
 Baby's Body Doubted Again
 The Identification of the body of the Lindbergh baby has long been an issue, despite the fact that state and federal officials were convinced that Lindbergh's Identification clear ed up all doubt.
 At Hauptmann,s trial in Fleming ton Lloyd Fisher of defense counsel began in an attempt to show that the body might have been that of an inmate of an orphanage asylum a mile from the wooded spot where 1t was found.
 Fisher was in the midst of this when Edward J. Reilly, chief de- fense counsel, announced that the defense conceded Identification of the body. Announcement was the be- ginning of defense counsel breach which ended with Reilly's dismissal.
 More Than One Person
 Also figuring in Hoffman's de- cision were several letters purport- ing to give evidence that more than one person was involved in the kid. naping and murder. Not all of these letters have been checked, and the governor was believed to want time to complete investigation.
 Members of the state senate, which would act as court in event of Impeachment proceedings against Hoffman, were reluctant to com- ment. A check of leaders of the as- sembly also resulted in only for- mai comment. But one powerful member of the legislature said: Tt (the Impeachment proceedings) will come before expiration of the re- prieve."
 Hauptmann waited in his cell to- day for official word of the re- prieve. Fisher told him yesterday that 1t had been granted and said his face lighted with pleasure" But today the ofilcial reprieve will be sent to the prison.
 Mrs. Hauptmann, who brought her baby, Mannfried, here, planned to return to New York soon. She may not sec her husband again be- fore she leaves.
 Evidence Must Be Clear
 All observers agreed that only the | nost sensational evidence tending

 mittee that he believed that Q $l,- 900, 100000 or $i,600,000,000 thrown on the bond market would have some depressing effect"
 "Whether 1t (the bond markeD would go down five thirty.seconds or fifteen thirty-second ts any, body's guess," Bell said. Tt would depend upon conditions at the time whether or not the money rates are tightening or whether they are the other way"
 Bonus forces in both houses claimed--and 0 check of the mem bership seemed to support them that they have sufficient strength for the necessary two-thirds vote to override 0 veto. Congressional leaders are anxious to dispose of tho issue aS early as possible.
 House bonus leaders and heads of the principal veterans organiza- tons have agreed to the bond plan instead of the immediate cash pay ment proposed fin the united fronp bill passed 256 to 50 by the house last week.
 Some Opposition
 Some senate opposition appeared to be developing from supporters of a substitute bill offered by Sen. William II. King, d., Utah, provid- ing for payment of tho adjusted service certificates at their surren- der valuation rather than par. King estimated his bill would save the government $i,000, 100000.
 If Nye decides to reply to Sen. Tom Connally, d.,sTex, who assailed tho munitions committee criticism of wartime President Woodrow Will Don, 6 vote on the bonus may not be reached until next week. Such a reply might develop into an exten- sive debate.
