 This was not an accident. The schedule was deliberately planned that way, in order to duplicate III reverse the American Friendship Train which required II days to travel from Los Angeles to New York.
 Not only was the schedule pur- posely slow, but the French train carried the same type of flatcar equipped with a loudspeaker as the American train from which we made speeches at railroad sta- tions across the U. s.
 Because the Friendship Train came from the American people, not the Government, Godfrey Parsons, editor of the Paris edi- tion of the New York Herald Tri- bune was asked to accompany the train as chairman and master of ceremonies.

ABOUT SEAL HERD IS
 STILL UNS0LvED
Fish and WiIdIife Service Admits Winter Quart
 CTS Sill Unknown

WASHINGTON Dec. 30-iP- The Fish and Wildlife Service ac- knowledged failure today in an at tempt to solve the mystery of where the Alaska fur seal spend the winter
 The agency made some headway, however, in determining the food habits of the strange, sea- a-going mammal which summers exclusive ly on the Pribilof Islands, north of the Aleutians.
 And next spring, it may get rid of some of the old bulls that dom mate the herds year after year. It would do this with the supposi- ton that younger bulls might be more prolific, and might produce stronger stock.
 The seals food of choice is squid," said Seton H. Thompson, director of the Services Division Of Alaska Fisheries
 Spring Diet
 On their spring m.sra,lon northward. seals off British Colum- bia also eat some herring and hake and a fish that has never been identified because it has been found only in the stomach of seals We call it the sealfish."
 Thompson said the agencys mo- tcrship Black Douglas. assigned to track the seals on their winter travels, gave up the search early this month and put into Seattle for repairs.
 The former schooner yacht had been scheduled to follow seal herds fall and winter--as far as the international dateline if necessary to determine whether they cross over into Japanese or Russian wat CTS.
 Seal Herd Lost
 Japan in 191l ..Sed the cnarge that Prifilcf seals were damaging Japanese fisheries as an excuse to abrogate the Russo British American fur sea- treaty of 1911. That treaty prohibited killing seals at sea.
 Thoplpson said the Black Doug las went as far at Attu, at the western tip of the Aleutians, but found the seal herds so small and so few in number that it was im- possible to follow them in the con- tinually stormy weather and rough waters.
 Mechanical difficulties. stemming from the vibration of the vessel, added to the decision to call off the search.
 Even when killing at sea was legal, sealers never could find the animals in December and January . Thompson explained.
 "The first seals reappear in Feb ruary off Southern California. From that month onward, we have good records Of their migrations up to the Pribilofs. We're planning another survey in February or March and we still hope to gather more information some other year on the winter routes"
