Exfortion Attempt
By Fake Officer CHARGED

A 33-year-old bus driver was un-
der arrest today on a charge of at
tempting to extort money from a
young woman under the guise of a
detective sergeant"
The man was seized last night by
members of the pickup squad after
the woman had informed police of
the attempted bribery and a trap
had been laid.
The woman said the man picked
her up on the street Saturday and
drove her to the second precinct,
threatening to Jail her on a So
liciting charge unless she paid him
$25. The woman said she arranged
to have him call by her apartment
last night for the money.
Marked money was given her by
police, who waited in the apartment
for the arrival of the alleged ex-
tortionist. The man was arrested
when he took the cash from the
woman.

u. 5. Military Attaches
In South America
May Be Doubled
War Department to Ask
Congress for Funds
To Garry on Work
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The War Department will ask
Congress, it was learned today, to
double the number of United States
military attaches in South America.
The action will provide another
link in inter- American protective
bonds. 1t follows steady increase
in Latin American military and
aviation attaches in Washington,
and in the number of special military
and naval missions being sent from
the United States to neighboring
republics.
Because of lack of funds, the War
Department now maintains only
six military attaches below the Rio
Grande. They are on duty at the
embassies and legations in Argen-
tina, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and
Costa Rica.
Duties Widely Scattered.
Some of these attaches are ac-
credited to four or five countries,
often widely scattered. They have
little opportunity to remain long in
any one place and thus familiarize
themselves with military work in
those countries.
The War Department wants to
increase the number of attaches so
that no single officer will have to
visit more than two countries.
A special mission of military and
naval officers will leave soon for
Colombia to advise that nations
War Department on defense prob
lens. Requests from some other
countries are expected to be granted
soon.
Similar missions now are on duty
IN Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Haiti and
Guatemala. Two Argentine naval
officers are taking advanced courses
at the Annapolis Naval Academy,
and two Brazilian officers are re-
ceiving training at the Naval Air
Station at Pensacola, Fla.
Trained In Schools.
Three Ecuadoreans attend West
Point, and Nicaraguan is receiv-
ing training at Randolph Field.
Numerous Cubans have received
military or naval training here in
the past.
Officials expect the new military
attaches, if Congress approves the
funds, will offset various proposals
by German and Italian military de-
partments to send missions to Latin
American republics. Such moves
often are followed by sale or barter
OF European military or aviation
equipment to those countries.
American armament sales, par
ticularly of aviation equipment, fell
of in Latin America after the 1884
munitions inquiry, and only recent
ly have shown improvement. This
has led to renewed Latin American
demand for United States advisers.
A request of Brazil to lease sew
eral over-age American destroyers
for training purposes has been pend
Ing for well over a year, and there
were some predictions it may be
revived. The original PROPOSAL was
opposed by Argentina.

Denial on Degree Award
Is Upheld by Court

The Board of Education was up
held yesterday in District Court by
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue in its
ruling denying the John M Lang
ston School of Law of Frelinghuysen
University a license to award Bache-
lor of laws degrees.
The jurist declared that the in
stitution could continue to give
training in law, and if students were
ambitious enough, could go and Sc
cure their desired degrees at aca-
demic halls authorized to confer
them. The John M. Langston School
OF Law brought suit in District Court
some time ago for a review of the
action of the Board of Education.
In December, 1886, the court was in
formed, the plaintiff filed with the
board an application for a license to
award bachelor of laws degrees, but
after investigation the board de-
clined to grant this power.
Under an act of Congress, the
Board of Education is authorized to
pass on the qualifications of educa-
tional institutions in awarding de-
grees.

 Hurling choices for tonight will likely be Abramson, Elk left-hander, and Jensen for the Islanders.

FRED ASTAIRE
 | STARS IN NEW | SWING MUSICAL
Burns and Allen Also in "A Damsel in Distress"
 at Capitol

Sparkling from start to finish with a merrily romantic story, a group of spectacular dances and captivating Gershwin tunes, Fred Astaire's and Burn and Aliens new starring vehicle for RKO Radio, "A Damsel in Distress opened at the Capitol Theatre yesterday as a strong contender for top popularity honors of the year.
 The story is based on one of P. G. Warehouses best-known humor- ous tales of English life, with As taire in the role of an American dancer who seeks to rescue titled British girl from her impending marriage with man she detests. It is complicated in uproarious fashion by the activities of half dozen other principals.
 Much of the tangle evolves from the conflicting royalties of the ser wants, of whom a stately butler and a romantic young page-boy are the most active, while Astaire's press agents endeavor to free him from the affair and get him off to Paris to fill dancing engagement. And the result is a continuous panic for the audience.
 Burns and Allen, as the busy pub licists, are at their hilarious best, and Miss Fontaine is both lovely and convincing as the distressed damsel. Montagu Love, Constance Collier, Ray Noble, Reginald Gar diner, young Harry Watson and Jack Carson help to make the film a brilliant piece of screen fare.
 The catchy Gershwin songs, As taire's several spectacular dancing routines, and the picturesque set tings, including huge reproduction of Tudor castle, are big features of the production.

Finds Nippons Gone from Bristol Bay Salmon
 Fishing Areas

H. H. Wiltshire, writer for Hearst publications and the Christian Science Monitor and the magazine Fortune, was back in Juneau today after more "discourteous treatment" from the Japanese.
 Wiltshire, who was tossed out" of Japan few months ago for trying to get too much information into his stories, went to Bristol Bay to see the Japanese at their back door.
 "There weren't any there when I got to Bristol Bay" Hillshire said. "They had very discourteously left"
 While in the Westward and In terior, Hillshire went to Fairbanks and also flew to Nome.
 He will spend a few days in Juneau, studying the Alaska Juneau Gold Mine for material to be used in a story to come out in Fortune magazine.
 While in Fairbanks, Wiltshire said he visited Joe Sterling and reports him good as ever except for a sling on his broken arm" Worse than the broken arm, suffered when hit by an airplane propeller, Joe received orders, Hillshire said, to cut off his Moscow beard he had so carefully nursed to full life.
 His Dad saw it and told him to shave it. Hillshire laughed Tt cost his dad $1.50."
