 The ice-breaker Sadko was sent to the vi- cinity of the Novosibrsk Islands to solve a century-old Arctic mystery--the existence or non-exstence of Sannikov Island. The island was first described by Siberian merchant of the eighteenth century, and included in the Arctic maps of 1911 Nansen, in his drift " the Tram in 1893, reported that birds hov-, cred over his masts in the locality where San nikov was supposed to be, but he could not see land. An expedition sent out in 1SJ0 met with failure with many of it's members dying of starvation.

All Hail 50 Joe
(New York World Telegraph


 Altogether apart from the issues involved in the Supreme Court question: desire to congratulate Senator Joseph Robinson for doing a remarkable thing.
 Upon the Presidents return from Texas the ma }Joriy leader among the first to confer with him. Following the meeting the Senator speaking of the court controversy which has split the Senate wide open as an alligator pear said that, while the battle will go on nevertheless the vote will be close and that the packing proposition had fair prospect" of passage.
 Now, in the light of all past observation of political claiming we submit that something that classifies for the first time in history For it has the hitherto unalterabe custom of political leaders to claim everything, high, low, jack and the game five honors what have you and then let the bur- den of proof fall where it may It is only necessary to recall the 'n-th the-bag' prophecies of John Hamilton ct al to refresh the ory of how the claiming technique has operated in matters political
 But now comes who for rugged honesty and is entitled to medals and memorials such as seldom have honored either the living the dead Uncle Joe faces the realities His Arkansas ob- jectivity appraises the situation. And answering to higher impulse than is customary in public affairs he abandons the landslide strategy and frankly admits that the of the administration for which he close and that prospects for victory only fair Refreshing this, as a sunrise in the Ozarks. And we say, all hail to this breaker of precedents

amendments and repeal of the States
22-year-old prohibition law. closing an
off-year political battle between Gov.
E. D. Rivers and former Gov. Eugene
Talmadge.
Talmadge urged defeat of the New

the State on behalf of the amend
ments, vital to his Rooseveltian pro-

APPEAL IS MADE
FOR REMPLOYABLES
Mrs. John A. Se|by, Chest
Trustee, Broadcasts Plea
for Definite Aid.

An urgent appeal for definite aid
for the 5000 unemployed employ
ables" on the rolls of the Community
Chest was made to Washington last
night by Mrs. John A. Selby, men,
ber of the Chests Board of Trustees
AS if in echo to her plea, relief
officials said today they were power
less to grant the demands of the
Workers Alliance for relief or jobs"
for Washington's employables, which
the alliance estimated at 5000
Mrs. Selby spoke over Station WJSV
on another of the series of Help
Wanted" broadcasts arranged by the
Chest and the Public Welfare Board
in the interest of employables unable
to obtain either work or relief.
Burden Held Too Great.
Citizens of Washington, you have
heard our case. The evidence is in.
The fate of hundreds of these men,
women and children is now in your
hands," she said. But before you
decide, let us view the record"
She pointed out the Public As
sistance Division has been forced to
discontinue all relief to unemployed
employables. That means, she said,
that if a man can work and wants
work, but cannot obtain it, there is
no public relief available to him.
The burden is far too great for
private agencies, she contended. Fam
lilies are being evicted from their
homes here daily. Children are stay
ing home from school for lack of
clothing and shoes.
These people must have help, and
they have faith enough in Washington
to believe that when the citizens know
the situation they will respond as gen.
erously as they did to the flood VIC
Tins" she said.
Broadcast Tomorrow.
The last broadcast in the series will
be given at pm. tomorrow when
three prominent welfare officials will
summarize the situation and give
concrete suggestions as to what can
be done to fight the trouble at the
source. The speakers will be Herbert
l.. Willett, jr., Coleman Jennings and
Dr. Frederick w. Perkins.
The Workers Alliance presented a
petition to Commissioner George E.
Allen yesterday while pickets paraded
in front of the District Building pro-
testing against the inadequacy of the
relief program. In seeking relief OF
jobless employables, the alliance want
ed as many of them as possible to be
placed in the additional 1000 W. P. A
jobs provided for the District.
