ECLIPSE SEEKERS
FACE DIFFICULTIES
Capt. J. Frederick HeIIWeg,
Observatory Head, to
Be in CHARGE.

The forthcoming expedition of the
u4lM 'Gls!ooS o!udsIsosD IeuopeN
which the Navy is cooperating, to
observe the total eclipse Of the sun
on lonely Enderbury Island in the
Phoenix group in the South Seas,
near the Equator, presents many sea-
manship difficulties, Admiral William
D. Leahy, chief of naval operations,
told Nationwide radio audience
last evening, He spoke over Station
WMAL at 6 pm, and emphasized
that Capt Frederick Hellweg, U. S.
N. superintendent of the Naval
Observatory here, who will personally
direct the naval contingent on the
expedition, will solve the problems
awaiting him at Enderbury Island"
The eclipse occurs on June 8.
Wishing success to the expedition,
Admiral Leahy, the highest ranking
officer in the Navy, expressed the
hope that 'our knowledge of the
heavens will be appreciably increased,
not only from an academic or theoreti-
cal standpoint, but also in a practical
sense which will permit utilization in
our everyday lives of the truths de-
rived from their observations"
Must Land Heavy Equipment.
Enderbury Island appears to be
the only body of land in the path
OF totallty from which it is possible
to obtain good observations, the
admiral said. Commenting on the
difficulties to be encountered, Admiral
Leahy asserted that heavy equipment
OF the expedition, as well as supplies
of food and clothing, must be taken
through the usual high surf over
the South Sea Island reefs, and landed
safely on the sand islands in the
lagoon-"a most difficult feat of sea-
manship"
Apparently, said the admiral there
Is no anchorage at Enderbury, as
the sea bottom outside the reef falls
away sharply to vast depths.
DR.. Samuel Alfred Mitchell, noted
astronomer of the University of Vir-
ginia, will head the scientific group.
Admiral Leahy said the scientist has
already observed a greater number
OF solar eclipses than any other person
who ever lived, and who thinks moth
Ing whatever of travelling thousands
OF miles to see another one"
Two Others to Speak.
DR.. Lyman J. Briggs, director of
the Bureau of Standards, and Rev.
Paul A. McNally, director of George
town College Observatory, also ad-
dressed the radio audience. DR.. Briggs
told of the scientific program for
photographing the eclipse with various
types of cameras during the four
minute period of total darkness. Rev.
Mr.. McNally described plans for
photographing the suns corona with
varied wave lengths of light.
The expedition will sail from Homo
lulu May 6. More than 8 tons of
scientific equipment have been shipped
from Washington to Honolulu.

Spring feud and threatening

court before Recorder Walter H.
Oakley, Jr., today.
Riley Welch charged that Will

vowed to. burn or dynamite his

convicted last week on charges of
using a pistol on WEIGH, went to

Welch could not quite convince
the court that he and his family
stood in dire dread of the Hunter
warriors because of their evil
sounding threats or even that they
made threats. So the Hunter boys
went their Way-free men after
the recorder admonished them to

On Court Measure

and entered the realm of congress
to define public policy"
Il can prove to jury he said,
that the court is responsible for
many of the troubles for which
we are legislating now because it
gave unnatural and illogical
meanings to legislation.
Democrats who helped block
the presidents original bill were
quick to maintain their opposition
was not intended to "humiliate"
Mr.. Roosevelt or to split the
Democratic party. Sen. Carl H.
Hatch, D., N. NJ, who voted
against the presidents original
bill in committee but who is sup
porting the compromise, referred
to newspaper articles mentioning
these charges.
Il have letters in my file" said
Hatch, Saying these exact words:
Now is the time to humiliate the
president, now is the time to beat
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
1T has never been my intention
to humiliate the president or to
beat Franklin Delano Roosevelt" ="
Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney. D..
Wyo., another former StalWart
who went over to the opposition,
agreed with Hatch and Wheeler
added:
Nobody on this side of the
aisle wants to humilate the presi-
dent or split the Democratic
party"
After the senate recessed
Wheeler and other steering COM
mittee members met in the office
of Sen. William E. Borah, R., Ida.
Sen. Edward R. Burke, D., Neb,
said later that well talk long
enough to be sure the congress
and the country fully understand
the situation"
The administration claims to
have Sd votes for the compromise
court plan. The opposition, which
claimed enough votes to defeat
the original measure, feels un-
certain of 10 senators if the vote
comes on the compromise.
Wheeler's unexpected meeting
with the president came about
through the efforts of Sen. HON.
er T. Bone, D., Wash, who is fa-
vorable to Mr.. Roosevelt's plan
but who has joined Wheeler in
proposing a constitutional amend
ment designed to provide popu-
lar check on the supreme court.
Wheeler's associates said he
told the president he had won
the decision" against the court
due to its recent favorable decis-
ions and the retirement of Justice
Willis Van Devanter. He urged
Mr.. Roosevelt to withdraw the
bill.
IF were your worst enemy"
Wheeler'S associates quoted him
as saying, Il would help you get
it through. But I'm your friend
and this will kill your popularity.
1t is the difference between your
coming out as a great president
or as a bad one. I don't want to
see that happen to you"
But the president flatly refus-
ed, and Wheeler returned to capi-
tol hill where he conferred with
members of the opposition steer
ing committee and communicated
to them the decision for a finish
fight.
