GIRL KILLER IS
 VERY TRUTHFUL
Admits He Might Have Killed More If He Had
 Not Been Caught

Augusta, Me, May 11-(U.P)- James H. Folsom, 35, confessed slayer of two girls, possibly" would have killed other children had he mt been arrested Friday. This al- legged admission came during queS- tioning of the itinerant 6kowhegan farmland by State Detectives al the cell in county jail where he awaits trial charged with the nlur- der of 7-year-old Mary Proulx ot Watervilqe. Though he also alleg- edly signed @ detailed confession tc the staying of Annie Knights, 12, ot Fairfield, this charge will not be pressed immediately. Both children had bee ncriminally attacked. Might Kill More
 eff you had not been captured, the detectives asked, would you have continued to kill children?" Possibly" Folsom reportedly re. piled. "Then don't you think I would be better if you were put some place where you would not have the opportunity to murder children?" lle was asked. Absolute. ly," was the alleged reply.
 Desire to Kill
 Detectives said Folsom explained the desire which prompted him to commit the murders came pertodi- cally and was overwhelming. T am in another world then" they quoted him. Though he admitted he was in Athol, Mass, at the time, Folsom denied he was the man who at- lacked Barbara Wilson, 6, in that town last october. If did, I would tell you" he said. Tt wouldn't make any difference now"

Continued from Page l) aboard while the Hindenburg still is in its hangar.
 Airship men believe that if the Hindenburg takes advantage of the tail winds, 1t will break the present record of 55 hours and p minutes for the eastward crossing held by the Graf Zeppelin, whose westward record was shattered on the new dirigibleS maiden trip to this coun- try.
 pr. Hugo Eckener, veteran dirig- ible expert and designer of the Hin- denburg, Capt. Ernst Lehman, her commander, and her officers and crew were honored at dinner in New York city last night. German Ambassador Hans Luther spoke.
 pr. Eckener Praised
 Though Dr. Eckener has had some difficulties with the nazi government and for Q while German newspapers were not permitted to mention his name, Luther was almost rhapsodl- cal in praising him. He referred to him as Dear pr. Eckener."
 The task of replenishing the lift ing gas and fuel oil supply will be completed shortly after sundown. It was begun Saturday night when H. 100000 cubic feet of hydrogen were pumped into the Hindenburg's bulg- ing silver skin and 8,666 gallons of Diesel oil were poured into It's tanks. Approximately 100000 additional cubic feet of hydrogen and about G. 900 gallons more fuel will be added. This task was left for tonight be- cause the temperature will be more nearly what 1t will be when the Hindenburg departs. During the day the warmth of the sun expands the gas.
 What Ship Requires
 The Hindenburg requires some 7,- 063,00 cubic feet of gas to carry its full complement of 54 crew and 50 passengers. Its tanks hold approx imately l5,000 gallons of fuel oil.
 Sometime during the day the ship will be reprovisioned.
 Approximately 100000 visitors came here yesterday to view the huge ship as 1t lay snugly in the hangar. Nearly 15000 were turned away after the gates were shut shortly before seven p. m. The pub lie was given another opportunity to see the Hindenburg today.
 The passengers for the return voyage were expected here in the afternoon. Among them will be Dr. Bolivar Lang Falconer, 65, retired senior civil service examiner, of Marlin, Tex, who aspires to be the first person to make a commercial airline flight around the world.
 The U. s. Navy will have two men aboard as observers, Lieut.. Com mander J. M. Thornton, mooring of- ficer and Lieut.. H. T. Orville, aero logist at the naval base here.

PASSENGERS ON
 PLANE ARE LUCKY

North Andover, Mass, May H. (UP)-Three passengers who paid $l apiece for an airplane ride were giv- erl a thrill not on the program yes- terday when the plane crashed in a grove of pine trees. None was in- jured.
 The monoplane was circling over Lawrence and Andover preparatory to landing at Lawrence airport when 1t developed motor trouble Pilot John Darcy, 24, of Chelsea at- tempted to maneuver the plane down on Q pasture, but 1t scraped tops of zine trees bordering the field and crashed to the ground.
 Shaken, but uninjured, were Darcy George Kelliher, 9, Roslindale; Howard Lannon, 8, West Roxbury and an unidentified boy who scam- pered away as soon as the plane hit ground.

alties now in effect against Italy and declining to recognize Italy's conquest.
 Leaders postponed until 5 p. m. (11 a. m. EST) 8 meeting of the council that had been called for this morning, 50 that Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden of Great Britain and Joseph Paul-Boncour, chief French delegate, might confer privately and consult toher leaders.
 Soon after Eden and Paul. -Boncour conferred, the program for the coun- ell meeting was published. It made no reference to the Italian or Lo- carno problems but dealt with minor administrative matters.
 Delay in deciding on the Italian problem would give league members time to decide on a definite policy.
 Locarno Problem
 As to the Locarno problem, delay would permit continuance of nego- tiations between the Locarno powers Britain, France, Belgium and Italy -and Germany.
 Italy is not cooperating with other nations in the Locarno negotiations because of the league penalties. But in the European scheme the Locarno problem, affecting all the continent, is of more real importance than the Italian one, for Germany is the key nation of Europe and has been tho key nation all during the 1taliarl- Ethiopian crisis.
 Italy, through Renato Bova- Scoppa delivered to Joseph A. Ave- mol, league secretary general, formal copies of the annexation decrees.
 The promptness of this notifica- ton led many to believe that Italy herself might seek aggressively to bring the Tthiopians matter into the open.
 Wolde Marian was delegated by Emperor Halle Selassie to repre- sent Ethiopia. Marian IS the Ethiopian minister at Paris.
 Orders of Selassle
 Halle selassic reached him by tele- phone yesterday from Jerusalem and ordered him here to reaffirm that Ethiopia still exists, that tIaly oc- cupied but two-fifts of the country, and that there is @ secret Ethiopian government in the southwestern part of the country with Ras Desta Demptu, the emperor's son-in-law, as its chief.
 Neutral nations, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, Spain and Switzerland ended Q two day conference here last night in preparatoin for the council meeting. Denmark and Spain are council members. These nations, called the conscience of the league, decided with the exception of Switzerland that penalties against Italy ought to continue.

salem was the first Ethiopian meS- sage to the league since Wolde Marian, Ethiopian minister to Paris and delegate to Geneva, appealed to the council on April 20 when he la- mented the league failure to aid Ethiopia effectively.
 Coincident with publication of the Jerusalem telegram Marian arrived from Paris. His first act was to ad. dress a note to the league, reportedly insisting that he be invited to any council session at which the Italo- Ethiopian situation is discussed.
 Action is Deferred
 It was indicated that, on the joint motion of Great Britain and France, the council would defer &C., ton on both Italy and the Locarno problem, until 8 meeting in nlid- June, meantime continuing the pen-

 about him beyond the fact that he heads the justice departments bu- reau of Investigation. His name probably has made more headlines than any other except President Roosevelt but those who know that he is @ stamp and antique collector, that he is a baseball fan and an ex- pert fisherman could be assembled in Q small drawing room.
 Efficient Manner
 On first meeting this man who directs the "G-men," one character istic that stands out above all others is his efficient manner. A youthful, efficient business executive? Yes. A detective--a man who gumShoeS around, chasing criminals2 Never.
 Hoover is of medium height, in- clined to stoutness, sharp-featured, with coal-black curly hair. He speaks with sharp, clipped, staccato phrases. He dresses like a magazine fashion-plate.
 The boss G-man is one of that rarest of species, a native Washing tonian. He was born here Jan. 1, 1895, attended Washington public schools and was graduated from Washington's Central high school in 1913. He got his first job as 0 clerk In the congressional library.
 He Likes Lawyers
 One of the most rigid requirements which Hoover has set up for men aspiring to join the bureau of inves- tigation as special agents is that they must be lawyers. Many people wonder why @ man must be e law yer to be @ detective. Hoover cites the answer from his own expert. ence. He gives credit for many of his innovations in the bureau to the fact he was trained as Q lawyer.
 He won his law degree in 1916, by studying nights at George Wash. ington University Law School while he worked days in the library. He holds that law training invaluable. In 1924, with the bureau still . minor united engaged solely in in. vestigative work, William J. Burns resigned as dt ector. The then-At. torney-G General John c. Sargent, chose Hoover to succeed him.
 Visions of Q day when the bureau would be Q powerful, crime fighting authority, capable of coping suc- cessfully with organized gangsters took shape in his mind early. Hoov- CT took over the task with enthusi- asn. Since then he has served under three administrations -confounded politicians who believe firmly that the job should be a political plum.
 Few Intimate Friends
 Hoover's acquaintanceships are innumerable but those who could be classified as intimate or close friends probably could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Privately he admits that his position, with hum dreds of criminals ever on the alert to "get" him on any pretext, keep him ever on guard.
 He lives in Q small, unpretentious frame house at 4l3 Seward Square in southeast Washington. He spends his evenings there with his mother on the rare occasions when he is not out in the field inspecting FBI offices or leading raids, or directing via telephone from his ofilce-the closing in of network of federal agents about some criminal wanted for violating federal statutes.

OUINTUPLETS TO

Callander, Ont, May 1l.-(UP)- The Dionne quintuplets and the Keys quadruplets of Texas meet to- day.
 The 2l-year old Texas quadruplets, Mona, Mary, Leota and Roberta Keys, arrived this morning, accom- panied by President Patrick M. Neff, of Baylor university, Waco, Texas, where the girls are undergraduates. They brought presents for the 23- months-old quins, for themselves, the State of Texas, and Baylor uni- versity.
 After spending the morning at the Dafoe hospital, home of the quins, the Keys sisters will visit a fishing camp, and return to Toronto to- morrow.
 Differing from the quins in that they don't even look alike, and were brought up by their parents, in- stead of under governmental con- trol, the girls expressed the great est interest in seeing the Dionne babies.
