Germs Die, Men
Must Live in Cold
Antarctic W astes
Film-Record of Byrd's South Polar
Dash Shows Terrors of the
"Great Unknown"
Little America, on the Bay of
Whales, 750 miles from the South
Pole, is the most perfect health re
sort in the world. There are no
germs there, for germs cannot exist
in a temperature of from 65 to 70
degrees below zero. The air is brae
ing and vital. The continent is a
great plateau, 10,000 feet above sea
level.
"The only drawbacks are the ne
cessity of continued snow-shoveling
and the lack of convenient transpor
tation," says Joseph Rucker, Para
mount cameraman with the Rear Ad
miral Richard E. Byrd South Pole
expedition, who brought back to the
United States a film-record of the
expedition, "With Byrd at the South
Pole," which will show at the Par
mele theatre Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday.
Antarctica is 15,000 miles from
New York and the trip requires from
4 8 days to three months.
"Winds attain a velocity of 150
miles an hour on the Rockefeller
mountains, near the Pole," Rucker
says," and pile the dry powdery snow
in vast drifts. The hardest Job of
the expedition was not flying over
theole, exploring or keeping alive.
It was the continuous shoveling of
snow, 365 days a year.
"For instance, when we dug out
our Ford airplane for the flight over
the Pole, we had to remove 42 tons
of snow which had accumulated
about it. All of the 42 men in the
expedition turned out for the work
in shifts and completed it in 24
hours. Each time we prepared a
plane for flight, the same thing had
to be done."
The terrific velocity of the wind
caused the wreck of one of the Byrd
planes while it was exploring the
Rockefeller range. 175 miles from
the base camp at Little America. Al
though buried in snow, tied down and
filled with blocks of ice, the plane
was swept away and smashed against
the mountain side three miles dis
tant. Only the daring of Admiral
Byrd, who instituted a search in an
other plane during a three-hour lull
in the blizzard, brought about the
rescue of the four marooned men on
the mountain.
British Trade
Termed Key to
India's Problem
Economic Cooperation Is Sought by
Business Men; Politi
cians Disagree
Madras Nothing Is more notice
able than the difference which exists
between the viewpoint of the Indian
politician and the Indian man of bus
iness. The politician has little but
criticism for everything British. The
business man, as a rule is frank in
his acknowledge of what India owes
to Britain, and of the necessity for
cooperation.
A typical address was that deliver
ed recently in Delhi by P. Mukarji,
chairman of the Punjab Chamber of
Commerce, who urged closer coopera
tion between British and Indian in
terests to eliminate the problem of
racial discrimination in commerce
and industry.
"Commercial men of known worth
and repute, both British and Indian,"
he said, "should be brought together
in real partnership to build up the
muntry's industries. A start could be
made in new ventures and could be
gradually extended to existing indus
tries. This will not only bring about
industrial prosperity but will solve
the complicated problem of racial dis
crimination." Mr. Mukarji quoted the speech of
Sir Frederick Sykes, Governor of
Bombay, who had said that 500
crores (5.000.000.000,000) of rupes
was being lost in India annually ow
ing to the failure to take full advan
tage of the soil. Efforts of the Cen
tral and privincial Governments to
give effect to the recommendations
f othe British Agricultural Commis
sion, appointed to advise on Indian
crop production, were lauded by Mr.
Mukarji. lie pleaded for further ef
forts in this direction.
Mr. Mukarji also suggested a sepa
rate Asiatic conference under the aus
pices of the International Labor Or
ganization for discussion of lahor
problems in Oriental countries with
a view of standardizing labor con
ditions. ASKS $350,000 DAMAGES

Aloft 553 Honrs
Finish is Forced
by Oil Stoppage
Wild Throngs Crash the Ropes and
Surround Plane and Crew;
Oil Screen Clogs.
Chicago, 111.. July . Twenty-three
days from the June afternoon when
they roared out of the dust at Sky
Harbor, just a couple more would-be
endurance fliers, unnoticed by anyone
but a few mechanics, two Sparta, 111.,
farm boys skimmed down into the
same dust tonight to hear thousands
acclaim them as champions.
John and Kenneth Hunter had been
n the air for 553 hours and 42 min
utes, and even then they were wili
ng to go on, but a clogged screen
filter kept their motor from getting
oil and they had to make a hurried
landing, touching earth at 5:22 p. m.,
central standard time. 133 hours and
12 minutes longer than the St. Louis
Robin's previous record.
Their second hand monoplane still
was serving them well at the end, and
the motor was still droning out the
monotone it had taken up through
the long days and nights of flying
n darkness and light, in fair weath
er, in wind and rain.
But the frequent pouring of oil into
the engine had clogged up the screen
and when the last contact was made
five minutes before landing, no oil
would enter. There was no choice but
to come down, and they pulled away
from the faithful Big Ben, the refuel
ing ship piloted by brothers Albert
and Walter, and swung down to the
field.
Throngs Lose Control.
The holiday thousands, who pack
ed the grounds back of the ropes, lost
control as the sturdy City of Chicago
whirred toward the hangar. Ropes
fell before their onrush and police
were helpless before them.
So dense was the rushing mob that
John, at the controls, had to do a
ground loop to avoid hitting them.
He taxied off again toward the han
gar, with the milling thousands In
pursuit. All around the ship they
crushed, while observers for the Na
tional Aeronautical association bat
tered their way through to get the
barograph.
A radio man managed to shove
through the pack and hand a micro
phone Into the plane, where the erst
while coal miners called their
"Hello, world, sorry we couldn't have
stayed up longer."
Newspaper reporters and camera
men were not so fortunate. They
had no chance against that surging,
hysterical throng. It was only by
luck that the first "flash" telling of
the landing clicked over the special
telegraph wires before the uncon
trollable spectators managed to shove
their way into the hangar and tear
away the wires. They were speedily
repaired and the harried writers
were able to get their stories of hte
landing and the subsequent bedlam to
the hundreds of newspapers.
Ten minutes after landing, police
managed to clear a path and drag
the two fliers into an office, where
they posed for pictures and had their
first chance to relax.
Kenneth, oil splattered, unshaven,
but smiling, said it was a keen dis
apointment to have been forced down,
but added that it would have been
too risky to attempt staying up any
longer.
"We had hoped to keep going at
least until tomorrow," he said, "but
when the oil screen clogged and the
gauge quit, we thought the only
thing to do was come down. The oil
was spurting back on us pretty bad.
"We sure are tickled to death with
our new record, but what we want
most right now is a bath and rest."
Neither of the fliers had any defi
nite idea concerning their future.
"Just give me a bath," exclaimed
Kenneth. "You don't know how much
you miss one until you do without
for three or four weeks." He reveal
ed that neither he nor John had
bathed during the whole of their
flight, although he said they had
shaved occasionally.
After a brief rest, the two pilots
and their brothers, Walter and Al
bert Hunter who manned the refuel
ing plane, were escorted to the top of
the hangar and introduced to the
crowd amid cheers. It was announc
ed that they would be taken to a
Chicago "loop" hotel for an over
night rest and the holiday crowd was
invited to join in an automobile par
ade to the loop.

M'Kelvie May
Enter Race if
Field Cleared
Issues Statement Saying He Might
Be Candidate Against Norris
Field Must Be Cleared.
Should Nebraska G. O. P. leaders
convince State Treasurer Stebbins
Lieutenant Governor Williams, Aaron
Read and Beatrice Fenton Craig that
they should hie themselves out of
the senatorial race, leaving George
W. Norris in alone, former Governor
McKelvie might undertake the task
of defeating him, he indicated Thurs
day night.
At least. Mr. McKelvie states,
should the field be cleared of all ex
cept Norris and Norris be unwilling
to get out and run as a democrat or
independent, McKelvie would leave
it to "the largest practical number
of republicans" to agree upon the
one republican to run against the
senator. If Norris should quit, Mc
Kelvie says he would not permit his
name to be considered as a candi
date.
All this is in line with E. P
Brown's early suggestion for a "gen
tleman's agreement" among candi
dates to leave the selection of Nor
ris republican opponent to leading
republicans.
Real Work Is Ahead.
Now that the time for filing nom
inations has closed, the real work
of clearing the field is expected to
commence.
McKelvie, being a nominee by peti
tion, has until July 18 to file accept
ance of this form of nomination con
ferred upon him by twenty-five or
more republicans. The farm board
member states that he does not want
to run for senator. He said more
than two weeks ago that he did not
intend to be a candidate.
McKelvie's statement concerning
the clearing of the field and his views
on Norris' republicanism are em
bodied in the following statement is
sued by him Thursday night:
"In filing petitions for me to be
come a candidate for United States
senator, Nebraska republicans evi
dently are making a further protest
against the candidacy of Senator Nor
ris. Suggests Better Way.
"I agree with them, but there Is
a better way to clear the situation
up. Th senaotr could withdraw from
the republican primaries. He is not
a republican and for years has not
been. This was most clearly shown
when he deserted the party candi
date for president and supported a
wet, a Tammany democrat, after hav
ing been a candidate for the repub
lican nomination himself.
Having done that, he should not
impose himself further upon republi
cans by intruding himself into their
nominating primary. He should run
as a democrat, or as an independent.
This would not Jeopardize his chance
of being re-elected if the voters of
the state want him, and it would give
republicans a free hand in selecting
an out and out representative of the
party for their candidate. That
would be honest politics. His meth
od is not.
No Desire to Run.
"I have no desire to be a candi
date, and if Senator Norris will fol
low my suggestion I will not permit
my name even to be considered for
the place. I have sought no public
office since I retired from the gover
norship. The place I now have on
the federal farm board was accepted
primarily because I thought Nebras
ka should be represented on the
federal farm board, and if I could do
anything to assist in carrying out
the purpose of the law, the sacrifice
entailed would be justified.
"I had intended retiring from the
farm board ere this, and still intend
doing so. My only thought In con
nection with my possible candidacy
for senator is that the agricultural
marketing act needs friends in the
United States senate if it is to have a
fair trial, and Senator Norris cer
taintly has not shown himself to be a
friend.
Field Must Be Cleared.
"If Senator Norris is unwilling to
withdraw from the republican pri
maries and my name is to be consid
ered, it must be with the understand
ing that the field must be cleared for
one candidate to run against him.
Furthermore, that must be accom
plished without injustice to those
who have already filed. They must
agree heartily to it, and the largest
practical number of republicans
must agree upon the one to make
the race. It must be a fair, unpre
judiced effort to have a candidate
that has proven himself worthy and
faithful to the principles and the
leadership of the party.
"So far as I am concerned, the mat
ter is in the hands of Nebraska re
publicans who are willing to give
some time in seeing that the party
is purged of one who has proven
himself faithless to party government
and all that it stands for."

Rivers Bill
is Signed by
Mr. Hoover
New Waterways Improvements
Put Omaha on Route to Gulf,
Chicago, East.
to
Washington. July 4. President
Hoover Friday signed the $120,000,
000 rivers and harbors bill and out
lined a vast development of the in
land waterway transportation sys
tem connecting the lakes, the gulf
and the great inland cities.
The president, in a detailed state
ment, said that with the money au
thorized, army engineers could build
the remaining segments of a definite
canalization of the rivers so that
barge trains of 10,000 and 15,000
tons could operate systematically be
tween the cities of the midwest and
the gulf.
Among the more important items
for immediate construction are the
Los Angeles-Long Beach breakwater;
deepening of the channels in the
Great Lakes, the upper Mississippi,
Missouri, Tennessee and James rivers
and the acquisition and improvement
of the Erie Oswego canal.
Begin Work Soon.
While the bill carries only an au
thorization of $120,000,000, the to
tal to complete the various projects
is estimated at about $350,000,000,
to be appropriated by other congress
es. President Hoover plans to issue
orders Monday to begin work as early
as possible to relieve unemployment
The president's statement follows:
"It was with particular satis
faction that I signed the rivers
and harbors bill, as it represents
the final authorization of the en
gineering work by which we con
struct and co-ordinate our great
systems of waterways and har
bors "We can now build the many
remaining segents of a definite
canalization of our river systems
through which modern barge
trains of 10,000 to 15,000 tons
burden can operate systemat
ically through the midwest and
to the Gulf of Mexico, and thru
the lakes to the Atlantic.
"The system, when completed,
will have 120,000 miles of wa
terways and will give waterway
connection between such great
cities as New Orleans, Memphis,
Knoxville, Chattanooga, St.
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and
Sioux City, Keokuk, Minnea
polis, St. Paul, Chicago, Evans
ville, Cincinnati, Wheeling and
Pittsburgh. And through the
Great Lakes and the Erie canal
many of those points will have
access to central New York and
the Atlantic.
"By its authorization for deep
ening of lake channels we shall
support the present commerce of
the Great Lakes and make pre
paration for ocean shipping by
the ultimate deepening of the St.
Lawrence
"It is a long-view plan for
the future. It will require many
years to complete its construc
tion Aid to Unemployed.
"Some of the items author
ized have not yet been recom
mended by the engineers, and,
of course, they will not be un
dertaken unless they are so re
commended. "The bill does not call for
any increase in the budget for
this fiscal year, the appropria
tions having been provided by
which work will be pushed at
all available points in assist
ance to the temporary unemploy
ment situation.
"I have, in co-operation with
Secretary Hurley, established
during the past year, a new or
ganization for the conduct of
these works. In this organiza
tion we have created under Gen
eral Lytle Brown eight separate
divisions, headed by responsible
directing engineers.

"As one result, it seems that
none can be elected to office
without being wealthy," he
said. "Though a well-financed
organization and expensive ad
vertising, the rich are acquir
ing a monopoly on the impor
tant public offices.
Wealth Wins Office
"Every governor of Nebraska
for the past 15 years has been
a very wealthy man. It does
not speak well for the future.
But we should not blame these
men who aspire to office It is
the voter who is at fault.
"As a newspaper man, I am
of course anxious to see plenty
of advertising, but there is sure
ly something wrong with a
political system which selects
its public officials on the basis
of well-advertised names."
Need Democracy
A hundred and fifty years ago,
he concluded, the problem was to
make America safe for democracy,
while today it Is to make democ
racy for America. And the pres
ent problem Is harder because the
example of bad government is not
so vivid as it was to the men who
were just casting off the rule of
the British monarch.
