Rescue
Expedition
Goes North
Hope To Save Soviet
North Pole Plane
Grew Before Arctic
Winter Begins

New York, Aug. 10 (AP)-A new
rescue expedition headed by Sir Hub
ert Wilkes, veteran Arctic and Antarc-
tic explorer, prepared to wing north
ward today in search of the six miss
ing Soviet trans-polar filters.
Herbert Hollick-Kenyon, Canadian
flier who accompanied Wilkins on the
Lincoln Ellsworth Antarctic expedl-
ton, directed mechanics as they lab
ored hurriedly to equip the l7-ton fly
ing boat Cuba for the first lap OF its
Journey, an overland flight to Toronto

Working swiftly in race against
arrival of the long Arctic winter, Will

Wilkins said he had been hired by
the Soviet government to direct the
search. He declared flight opera
tons would continue several months,
if necessary, to locate Pilot Sigismund
Levaneffsky, the "Lindbergh of Rus

Wet filters were last heard from Fri

Pole.
Meanwhile airmen of three nations

FULK APPOINTMENT
BLOW TO FARMER
May Not Have Been So In
tended, But Farmer Is
No Longer Head
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
I'm tho Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug 19-Perhaps it was
not intended to be so, but the appoint
ment of Arthur Fulk, director of the
highway safety division, as major
commanding the highway patrol
amounted to direct slap at Captain
Charles Farmer, commanding officer
who must now change his gold leaves
for two silver bars.
Commenting on the new appoint
ments, Commissioner of Revenue A. j..
Maxwell said that Captain Farmer
was not being denoted in rank or
salary, but to the man who has COM
manded the highway patrol ever since
it's organization in 1929 it certainly
could not seem other than practical
if not actual, demotiOn.
The 1887 General Assembly provid-
ed that the patrol should consist of
zone person to be designated as ma
ior and such other additional sub
ordinate officers" as the commission
err should choose. After the law be-
came effective Captain Farmer, act
ing under legal opinion, assumed the
rank of major and donned the gold
shoulder leaves emblematic of that
grade.
Appointment of Lieutenant l.. r.
Fisher to the grade of captain and to
command of the western department
seals with official approval the ia
nous liquor raids that officer conduct
ed in Mecklenburg county early this
year-raids which resulted in much
discussion over whether or not they
were authorized and directed by Cap
tain Farmer and which likewise re-
suited in a lot of trouble for Neck
lenburg's rural police chief, Vic Fes-
perman.
Major Fulk has been head of the
safety division for the past two years
and will continue in that capacity. His
appointment as commander of the
highway patrol simply brings that
unit under his direct personal super
vision.

CONFERENCE GROUP
HAS HOUSING BILL
Senate Moves Swiftly To-
Ward Eliminating Barriers
to Saturday Night Adjourn
ment of Present Session;
Tax Loophole Measure Is
Speedily Enacted

Washington, Aug. 10 (AP)-The
Senate passed the Wheeler-Johnso
child labor bill by unanimous consent
today, and sent it to the House. The
measure would prohibit interstate
commerce in goods made by children
under 16 years of age, and in the case
of hazardous industries Is years.
The same language was incorporat-
ed in the wage and hour bill which
passed the Senate, but the Senate
passed the separate measure today,
when Chairman Wheeler, Democrat,
Montana, suggested action might re-
suit in approval of that part of the
wage-hour measure at this session
of Congress.
The wage-hour bill has been shelv-
eed for the session.
Meantime a committee of senator's
and representatives took over the job
of eliminating House and Senate diff
ferences over the administrations low
cost housing bill.
Within half an hour after it met,
the swiftly moving Senate rejected
changes made in the measure as ap-
proved by the House yesterday and
Vice-President Garner appointed mem
bers of conference committee. Even
before that, the Senate had disposed
of the bill to tighten income tax laws.
The tax measure, which Treasury
experts say will add more than $780,
100000 a year to Federal revenues.
went through without a record vote.
Except to work out differences on
the housing bill, the tax bill, in which
minor changes were made by the Seen
ate, and discover, if possible, way
to unsnarl the tie-up over the sugar
bill action on the third deficiency ap-
preparation was all that remained be-
tween Congress and Saturday night
adjournment.
Passed over to next session were
such matters as general farm bill,
wage and hours control and govern
ment reorganization.
The $98,000,O0O deficiency appropria-
ton bill is slated to reach the Senate
floor Friday or Saturday.

EASTERN Japanese-held district of the
International settlement. Most points
orc near the Whangpoo river front,
,rbOra reinforcements and supplies

landed.
The attacking Chinese came from

thew were trying to isolate several
thousand Japanese marines holding
the Hogkew sector.
rho Chinese braved savage bonn
hordment from the air from japanese
warships on the river and batteries
ashore as they drove their line for

Military experts said if the Chinese
succeeded in reaching the Waterfront
and holding their new lines the posi-

Whangpoo river and Soochow creek,
hitherto the main Japanese land
forces would be precarious. Soochow
creek forms the boundary between
the Japanese section of the interna-
