BRITISH CLAIM TO ANTARCTIC FACES DISPUTE U. S. Unwilling to Give Up Whole Region on Basis of Earlier Exploring. BY LYLE C. WILSON I'niUd Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 14.—Adiiiiral Richard E. Byrd's reported lack of interest in American sovereignty over Antarctic areas apparently does not coincide with views of American officials. The state department some time ago prepared a thorough going repudiation to some all-inclusive British claims to the south polar regions. This document was drafted after receipt oi a British note in November, 1929, in which the British government expressed interest in the Byrd expedition and directed the state department's attention to forma] and detailed British claims on seven specific Antarctic areas, w'hich, upon examination of the map, are revealed to represent mast of the south polar continent. About the time this vigorous document was to go forward the idea for an Anglo-American naval understanding began to develop. Disadvantages of precipitating a row over Antarctic sovereignty at such a moment are obvious and the note was held up. Several months after entering office. Undersecretary of State Cotton learned of the unanswered British note and the unsent American repudiation. He ordered a reply to the British note which was sent Nov. 15, 1929. Cotton evaded immediate discussion of the problem of sovereignty but left the question open in such manner that the United States could raise its claims at any time. FIREMAN SUSPENDED IN MISCONDUCT CASE Karl Snyder on Probation 50 Days Without Salary.

Scientist to Explore Unknown Atmosphere With Huge Rocket

Instruments in Projectile to Record Story of Sky Journey. BY FAIX HARRISON NFA Service Writer AYER. Mass . March 15.—1n an isolated spot at Camp Devens, the government reservation near here, Professor Robert H. Goddard, “the moon man,” is completing his preparations to explore the earth's outer atmosphere at a height far beyond that which any man-made device ever has attained. His previous experiments having proven entirely successful, he now is ready for the greatest attempt ever made to penetrate space. One of these nights, when there is little wind, but enough snow or rain to lesser, the danger of fire, he and his corps of assistants willplace a heavy metallic projectile, twice the height of a man and beautiful in its workmanship and .ymmetry, in the base of a sixtyfoot steel tower. 5,000 Miles An Hour Then they will retire to a safe distance and will ignite, electrically, the powerful explosive within the cylinder. With a long-drawn roar, finally diminishing like the reverberations of a thunder-clap, and a tall of w'hite flame which will illuminate the countryside for miles around, the rocket will launch itself into space. Its speed probably will be about 5,000 miles an hour. Within a few seconds the giant, rocket will have passed the highest altitude man ever has reached—eight miles. A few seconds more and it will have exceeded the farthest soundings made by instrumentcarrying balloons about twenty miles. The temperature there will be approximately 60 degrees below zero. Not Aiming at Moon From that point on, Goodard’s rocket will be in an unknown world. What it will encounter, or just how far it. will go, the scientist declines even to guess. But it is equipped so that after its return to earth the instruments in its nose will tell the whole thrilling story of the flight. If all goes well, and Professor Goddard seems confident that it will, the next rocket he la/onches may reach the moon. “Many people believe we are aiming at the moon on this attempt,” he said. “But that is fiction. Science wants to know- what lies beyond our atmosphere, and this is the only way of finding out.” PASS CANADA RUM BILL Measure Prohibiting Export to U. S. Awaits Final Action.

White Charges Salute to Haitian Exaggerated

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

political significacne was attached to his salute to the woman whereas, in reality, it merely was a gesture of personal kindness. When the commission landed, a throng of Haitians acclaimed the members and the aged peasant woman approached White with a patriotic appeal. “Deliver us,” she said. White was deeply touched by the woman’s attitude, and in deference to her age and pathetic manner, touched his hand to his lips and blew a salute to the woman. During the excitement, reports circulated that White had kissed or caressed the woman. The Haitian crowd responded enthusiastically to White's salute, but newspapers here attached no political significance to the act.

MONTE CARLO'S MANAGEMENT FACING FIGHT Monaco Residents, Led by Powerful Ward Boss, Want More Money. Bv United Press MONTE CARLO. Monaco. March 15.—An American-style ward boss, who controls 650 of the 700 votes in the principality of Monaco, declared uncompromising warfare today against the directors of the famous Casino of Monte Carlo. He is Eugene Marquet, patriot, loyal monarchist, former president of the national council, and, until a few days ago, mayor of Monaco. Six hundred and fifty Monegasques from the neat houses which spread over the Monaco valley and upward to the bald rocks flanking it, will follow him to the polls in the coming elections and vote blindly—as he instructs. Profits Lessened Marquet's chief political foe is Rene Leon, successor to Camille Blanc as administrator of the Casino. The Casino has not profited as greatly under Leon's, control as it once did. and the Monegasques, who derive their support from it, have been dissatisfied. They also have objected to Leon’s mixing in local politics to circumvent maneuvers launched against him. The unrest was so evident to the ruler, Prince Louis 11, and his attempts at compromise proved so effective, that he called for election of anew council. The domestic troubles of Prince Louis’ daughter, Princess Charlotte and her husband, Prince Pierre, also have proved troublesome because Charlotte’s son, Prince Ranier, is heir to the throne. Prince Pierre has filed suit for separation after taking the children to France. No Clew to Course But Prince Louis, sad and alone in the big castle overlooking the town of Condaminee, can depend upon Marquet and his 650 Monegasques to support the throne. As for Leon and the powerful directors of the Casino, there was no definite indication of what course they would follow after the election, which Marquet probably will wifi. “My party is entirely loyal to the prince,” Marquet said. “If I am elected, we will not ask any change in the cabinet, but we will insist upon drastic changes in the casino management. The opposition (casino directors) stops at nothing. They bought the only newspaper in town and we now must use posters to put our program before the people.” ASSAULT IS BALKED Cops Seek Man for Car Theft and Accosting of Woman, Police today sought an auto thief who abandoned a stolen car after he attempted to attack Mrs. Marie Story, 40, of 2146 South East street, in Garfield park Friday afternoon.

The car was stolen from North and Meridian streets, Friday afternoon. It is the property of Albert S. Ward, 5010 Washington boule- 1 vard, former United States district attorney.
