Russian Icebreaker Draws Near Stranded Scientists

ShirShov and Eugene Fedorov.
 They found within & few days that their hope of permanent North Pole station was vain. The great ice foe on which they estab- lished their base began floating steadily southward. It pursued a course, zig tagging somewhat but always in southerly direction, of more than 1000 miles.
 Several weeks ago, the foe began breaking. At first there was no con- cern; breakage was to be expected. But the foe broke more and more, Hurricane winds whistled over the area. Ice foes a mile or more ill area broke up, separated, smashed together in a churning mass. The danger became considerable. Professor Papinin, leader of the polar party, wirelessed that he had found a spot near his foe where one of the small planes from the Taimil could be landed.
 The Taimir's master decided tc play safe. When, at least, the smoke from the scientists camp fire coult be seen, eager volunteers asked per mission to proceed ahead of the ice breaker and try to bring back tht scientists and their equipment. Int captain refused. Instead, he ordered out high explosives and prepared tt blast his way through the thick grinding ice.
 Thus yard by yard, the explosion shattering the dead quiet of the Fai North, the i>abreaker approaches the foe, of Scoresby Sound on tn east coast of Greenland, where tn l four scientists awaited rescue.

 Moscow, Feb. IA (U.P0 - A Russian icebreaker, blasting a path yard by yard through the Arctic ice, fought the last few miles today to- ward the foe on which four Russian scientists are floating of the Green land coast. Moscow newspapers maintained staffs on duty nearly all night, hop ing that the word would come that the icrebreaker, the veteran Taimir had reached the scientists and taken them aboard.
 At 10 D. III. Saturday, the Taimir was but 20 miles from the Hoe. Flashes of the ships searchlight and smoke from its funnel. could be seen on the foe; those on the lce- breaker could see the smoke drift ing up from the snow house ln which the four scientists were housed.
 At noon yesterday, after IA hours of constant fighting, the icebreaker had made 5 miles and was 15 miles from the flee.
 For some days, the four men on the ice foe had been able, at mo- mentS, to see the Greenland coast to the west. But when they saw the first white flash from the icebreak- CTS searchlight. they had their first real contact with the world since, on May p last. they were landed by airplane at the North Pole to estab- lish the first polar weather station
 On the ice foe were Professor Ivan D. Papinin, leader: Ernest T Krenkel. wireless operator; Pyotr

JURY MEETS TO
 DISCUSS WRIGHT

Los Angeles, Feb. 14 - U.P0 - The jury which found Paul A. Wright guilty of manslaughter for killing his wife and John B. Kimmel convened again today to decide whe- ther he was sane at the time of the slayings. The 38-year airport president enjoyed his first sound sleep ill several weeks last night. His collapse after the verdict Saturday was due to the mental relief of learning that he had been convicted of manslaughter rather than mur- der. He spent the night in the coun- ty jail hospital, under treatment for a chest cold.
 Two pleas had been entered for Wright, not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity, and the proceed ure required that the same jury which found him guilty also decide his mental responsibility at the time of the crime.
 Wright was found guilty on two counts of manslaughter, for which the sentence may be one to 20 years imprisonment.
 If the jury finds that he was in- sane at the time of the killings, but is sane now. Wright will go free. Ii it decides that he was insane then and is still insane, he must be sent to an asylum. Or if it finds that he was and still is sane, he must go to | prison.

 Made Speech

Buffalo, Feb. IA - (UP) - War veterans intimated privately today that they had undertaken a cam- paign against the German American Bund. an organization sympathetic to the Nazi regime in Germany, on the grounds that it was opposed to American ideals.
 Approximately 150 of them at tended Bund meeting last night that, following heckling by American veterans, broke up in a riot. It was the third Bund meeting disrupted by war veterans in upper New York since last Thursday.
 Five squads of police responded to the riot call from the hall where some 100 members of the local branch of the German American Bund had been listening to a speech by G. Wilhelm KunZe, a national leader. They found the hall filled with fighting men, punching, wrestling and bludgeonng one another. Black eyes and swollen noses were numer- ous, but apparently no great damage was done. The hall was cleared without difficulty.
 Kunze Heckled From Start
 Kunze was heckled without let-up from the moment he started his speech. The war veterans, who had among their number members of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Jewish War Veterans, undertook to question him on whether Bund members felt their first allegiance was to the United

 Each Day

Payments of the old age assist ance tax amounted to approximately $24,000 today, with half of the month when the $3 rate prevails gone and a last-week rush in the off1ng, according to Tax Collector William A. Ennis. He remarked that payments are about as usual, at the rate of $2,000 a day, but that ap- proximately $l11,0o0 remains to be paid in the same period of time which remains in February.
 "Of course, there are numerous Implications and mistakes in the listing which will necessitate revi- sion of the list of approximately 55,- 900 persons subject to the taX," MT. Ennis commented. "Still, the fact remains that payments are at rate far below requirement. to see the to- tai tax paid within the time set to avoid the $1 penalty. The penalty is imposed after March 4th."
 The office was busy today with taxpayers, however, the average of $200O was anticipated to maintain

MARY O'CONNOR
 GOES ON TRIAL

Philadelphia, Feb. IA (UP)- Mary Keenan O'Connor, 19 year old college athlete, goes on trial today for the staying of five year old Nancy Glenn last Labor day. The testimony of her girl friend may send her to prison for life. The state, accusing Miss O'Connor of killing the child because she had begged for pennies and a bicycle ride. was not expected to demand the death penalty.
 William A. Gray, attorney for the husky, curly-haired girl athlete. said that her defense would be "un- usual" but refused to divulge its nature. Oddly, Miss O'Connor's $ friend, Mrs. Marie Phillips, 25, a 1886 Olympic gymnast, was ex- pected to be the prosecutions chief witness. Mrs. Phillips told police that Miss O'Connor admitted to her that she had killed Nancy in a fit of anger.

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, Feb. 14-CUP)-Britons waited today for clarification of re- ports that there were serious differ ences in the cabinet regarding ef- forts to settle problems outStand- ing between Great Britain and Italy. Reports centered around Anthony Eden, foreign secretary, and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. It was asserted that Chamberlain de- sired a rapid solution of disagree ments with Italy and that Eden in- sisted that caution was necessary in any such effort. There have been similar reports before on occasions when the cabinet was seeking pos sible approach to Germany or Italy. Today, the wide range of reports on new differences showed the extent of confusion and the paucity of au- | theatic information available.
 The Daily Telegraph, conservative, asserted on the highest authority that there were no differences at all. The Daily Express, independent con- servative, reported the situation eased. It said that strong influences had been at work to persuade Eden to modify his attitude and that though there still was anxiety, there was hope that the cabinet differ ences could be composed.
 The Daily Herald, labor party or gan, asserted that Chamberlain still had confidence in Eden and said editorially that it seemed someone either was trying to sabotage nego- tiations with Italy or to extract from he negotiations results more &C.,

JOHN VARNELLI
 SEEKS FREEDOM
Appeals to U. s. District Court; Wants to Escape
 State Prison

John Varnelli of this city, who is serving time in the states prison for a statutory offense, has taken his fight to the United States Dis trict Court of Appeals, in an at- tempt to gain freedom on a writ of habeaS corpus
 Several months ago, Judge Edwin S. Thomas, holding district court in the prison, denied Varnelli's ap- peal. It is from Judge Thomas denial that the appeal has been taken. Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald appeared in opposition to the issuance of the writ, when the case was heard at Wethersfield.
 No Jurisdiction Claim
 Varnelli's claim is that the state has no jurisdiction in the charge against him. He claims that the government should prosecute him for an alleged violation of the Mann act. Assistant States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald said today that Varnelli's conviction by the superior court had nothing to do with the Mann act. He was convicted on a charge of keeping woman in Wa terbury for immoral purposes, ac- cording to MT. Fitzgerald. The ap- peal will be heard by tribunal including Judges Martin T. Manton Learned Hand and Augustus N Hand of New York.

ceptable to diehard Fascism". It advised Chamberlain to make pub lie statement.
 The Daily Mail, Independent Con- servative and pro-Fascist, expressed belief that the situation could be solved but added that reshuffling of the cabinet became possibility several days ago because of differ ences in the cabinet. It urged chamberlain to restore harmony in the cabinet-perhaps suggestion to eliminate Eden.
 The Daily Mirror, like the Daily Mail owned by the Rothermere in- terests, forecast cabinet crisis and asserted that if Eden continued" to defy" Chamberlain he would "have to go". It quoted members of par lament as asking whether Eden would resign and form his own party group.
 AS regards Italy, Eden was said to have insisted that as part of any agreement Italy must stop aiding the Spanish NationaliStS, and to have resisted Italian efforts to bpr- row money here.
 Regarding Germany it was said that again Chamberlain wanted a quick agreement and that Eden ad- vised marking time until Germany $ own situation became claerer, par ticularly advising nothing be done at all before Fuehrer Adolf Hitler made his speech to the German reichs . next Sunday. In this con- nection, Chamberlain was ssfd to feel that talks of some kind this week before Hitler made his speech, might be valuable.

Mcintyre applied to New York the principles he learned when he was reporter for the Gal lipclis Journal in 1902. At his death his column, New York Day by Day." was syndicated in 380 news papers, earning him a huge salary. Mcintyre gained his great popular ity by personalizing New York, by treating its masses of stone and steel and its millions of inhabitants as though they were places and people whom he knew intimately and whom his readers wanted to know.
 Birth, Education
 He was born ill Plattsburg, Mo, Feb. 13, 1884. and was educated at Bartlett's college in Cincinnati. From the Gallipolis Journal he went to the East Liverpool, O., Tri- bune as a feature writer and in 1906, when he was 9, he became po- litical writer and later managing editor of the Dayton, O., Herald.
 From the Herald he went to the Cincinnati Post as Successively tele- graph editor, city editor and as- sistant managing editor and became also an associate editor of Hamp- tons magazine.
 In 1912 he took the big leap-he came to New York where his lite erary flare brought him the coveted job of drama editor on the New York Evening Mail. Not long after his arrival in New York he started the syndicated column which he continued until his death.

 Reports Tn Circulation
 Numerous reports circulated re- garding the audit by the firm en- gagged through the mayors office after the concern was nominated for the work by States Attorney Law renee L. Lewis. One was to the ef- feet that the accountants had found the city affairs shipShape as to accuracy but that numerous items had been charged or credited to wrong departments, creating what one of the accountants termed "a mass of detail work"

Silence of COngressmen Who Have Fought ROOse= welt Is Very Significant SEEMS TANTAMOUNT
 TOPLAN'S REJECTION Some G. 0. P. Officials Are Also Resentful of Views
 of Governor Aiken

Washington, Feb. 14 - (UP) - Conservative Demo- crats who have been con- sistent critics of the New Deal refrained from com ment today on week end proposals for a coalition of Republicans and anti-Roose- welt Democrats. The silence of Democratic CongreSSmen who have fought the admin istration's program was ac. cepted as tantamount to rejection, of any plan for uniting dissatisfied Democrats with the c. O. P. in an effort to defeat the New Deal at the Congressional elections this fall. The coalition proposal-advanced by Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg. R., Mich, and other ranking Republicans at Lincoln Day dinners throughout the country-was not new. Vanden- berg, himself. has been toying with it for sometime.
 Sen. Bailey Is Quiet
 Particularly significant was the refusal of Sen. Josiah w. Bailey, D., N. O., consistent critic of the New Deal, to comment either on the coalition proposal or on the warn- ing of Gov. George D. Aiken of Vermont that a third party would result from the failure of Republi- cans to purge their leadership of ultra conservatives.
