SAM LOVE, OF NEWS FAME, TO TURNJXPLORER Noted Writer and Wife to Dare South American River in Cruiser. BY PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correapondent NEW YORK, May 31.—Sam Love, slight, prematurely gray and an Incorrigible romanticist who somehow never sees things as they commonly are seen, announced today that he had turned explorer. A varied newspaper career behind him, which includes several years as a well-known staff correspondent of the United Press, Love and his wife, Virginia, will pilot a twenty-seven-foot cruiser up the shallow and little-known Guayas river in Ecuador. He chose Ecuador, he said, because there are no tourists. But his choice of scenery, he added later, shortly after thi christening ceremonies for his small boat had ended, in reality was occasioned by quite a different factor. It has to do with a snake, a particularly rare snake, so rare indeed that it may not exist at all. Not on the Map The particular habitat of this reptile, if any, is in the Andean foothills bordering the Guayas. You won’t by the way, find that river on any ordinary map. It is the Guayas, all right, just outside of the city of Guawaquil but before it comes to an indeterminate conclusion some 300 miles northward, it has a dozen different aliases. No pleasure boat ever before has attempted to navigate it. But this is getting away from the' snake which after all is the object of the expedition. It has no name, but it nevertheless is vicious, the legend is, in fact, that one bite means instant death. A number of other explorers have brought back tales of the reptile but no tails. The distinction is tremendously important. Signed to Write Book Sam and Virginia Love intend to seek out this slinking species and kill it. The object is to supply a title for the book that Sam already has signed to write upon his return. Bearing the carcass of his victim, the author will then be able to name his volume, “Ex-Snake.” That, he believes, will bring an end to all .of the ex-books and make worth while the three-month journey into aboriginal country. The “Byline” of Sam Love long was familiar to readers of newspapers served by the United Press. Among the stories he covered were the “Daddy” Browning trial, the Snyder-Gray trial and electrocution, and the revolution in Haiti last year. At the time of the revolution, he was well launched on an air tour of Central and South America and his itinerary landed him in Port Au Prince in time for the hostilities. Love is 34 years old. His newspaper experience included work on the Boston Post, the Huntington (W. Va.) Herald Dispatch, the Huntington Advertiser, the Charleston, (W. Va.) Gazette, the Christian Science Monitor and the Chicago Daily Journal.

Vacation Throng Soon to Visit Cradle of Aviation in Carolina

Highway Is Projected to Reach Site Where First Flight Was Made. It If XfJA S'rrrire NORFOLK. Va„ May 31.—A tour to cradle of aviation, Kitty Hawk, N. C., soon may be possible over a projected highway to the site near that town where the Wright brothers made their first successful flight. The proposal for this highway has come about after the recent stabilization of Kill Devil hill, one of the world's largest moving masses of sand, at the crown of which the proposed monument to the Wright brothers is to be erected, memorializing their first flight. Assurance that the monument will be installed permanently, now that the hill has ceased shifting, has caused both North Carolina and Virginia to announce they will cooperate in running a fine highway to this site. North Carolina has announced it will authorize a fine boulevard along the barrier beach from Nag’s Head in the south past Kill Devil hill to Kitty Hawk. Nag's Head is already connected with Roanoke Island by anew road and bridge, while construction of a bridge over Currituck Sound from Point Harbor to Kitty Hawk will be started soon. It also is planned to extend this highway north to meet the Virginia state line, and enthusiastic Virginians propose to construct a connecting road from this point on to Virginia Beach and from there to Cape Henry, where Captain John Smith and his Virginia Cavaliers landed in America and where the first lighthouse in the United States was built. PLAN FREE MEMORIAL 10,000,000 Would Honor Birthday of George Washington. Bn United Preit* WASHINGTON, May 31.—A living memorial of 10.000,000 trees to be planted in honor of George Washington’s 200th anniversary, Feb. 22, 1932, is the plan of the American Tree Association, according to an announcement by President George Lathrop Pack. A handsome certificate will be awarded every person who plants a tree and lists it on the association's honor roll. RUSSIANS SEIZE CROPS Montana Emigrant Receives Pitiful Letter From Brother. Bu l nitcti Prc*K MILES CITY, Mont., May 31. It’s not all "cakes and ale” in Soviet Russia, according to Zachary Braunbeck, who has just received a pathetic letter from a brother in Okruc, Siberia. The brother wrote that the government had appropriated his wheat crop, bedding and furniture, leaving only twenty bushels of wheat for his family’s use.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

These plans will make it easy to visit the monument. The only practicable route now is from Norfolk to Kitty Hawk by way of Great Bridge, Currituck, Point Harbor and by ferry from there to Kitty Hawk. This is only a part of the proposed barrier beach highway, however. The reef which protects the main coast of North Carolina from the buffeting of the Atlantic is more than 250 miles long. Plans are being brought up to extend the road from Nag’s Head farther down the barrier beach,

NO ALIMONY THOUGHT OF IN FIRST DIVORCE St. Louis Separation Recorded in 1785, Papers Show. Bit United Prow ST. LOUIS, May 31.—Record of the first divorce in St. Louison March /, 1785—has been brought to light, through examination of old papers of the Benoist and Charleville families loaned to the Missouri Historical Society. The act of separation recorded was entered into “by Joseph Verdon and Marianne Richellet, his wife” before Francisco de Gruat, commandant of St. Louis and lieutenant-governor “of the western part of Illinois.” After many years, according to the document, the couple found themselves not “congenially mated,” and “wishing to make an end of their disunion” jointly decided ‘‘of their own free will” to separate. Apparently there was no such thing as alimony for Verdon reserved for himself; “his rifle, his bed, his clothing.”

RELIGION EXPENSIVE UNDER GRUNDY BILL

Almost Everything Used by Worshipers to Cost More, Is Estimate. By Scripps-llaward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 31.—Secular or sacred, it makes no difference to the Grundy billion dollar tariff bill. In deference to a quaint old custom, Bibles have been kept on the free list. Otherwise with the exception of joss-sticks and joss-lights used by Chinese churchgoers in San Francisco’s Chinatown, everything the worshipper uses will cost more under the bill than before. On the theory that the better the day the better the deed, the Grundy law will work hard all week and then just a bit harder on Sunday. According to figures from the Raleigh Tariff bureau experts, all altar draperies and vestments show increases under the new schedules for wool, silk and cotton. “Rosaries, chaplets, etc.,” come in for rates ranging from 30 per cent higher on cheap articles to 50 per cent higher on expensive ones. Wax candles and wicks are under 20 per cent increases. There is a type of black marble used by Jewish mourners as headmarkers in their cemeteries. It comes from Sweden and is almost universally preferred. A certain quarry-owner in Pennsylvania thinks his marble, though inferior, should be used by patriotic Americans in preference to the Swedish imported article. Unable to get an Increased rate here he had a joker slipped into the bill to the effect that if marble is “pitched” it is a manufactured article. In this

MOVE TO KILL EXCLUSION LAW ON JAPANESE State Department Backing Is Seen for Measure in Congress. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Stsff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 31—Stalff department support for a movement to lift the immigration exclusion bar lowered against Japan In 1924 is assured, but today there appeared small chance of action on the matter at this session of congress. Chairman Johnson of the house immigration committee has announced his intention to introduce legislation to change the exclusion law, considered by Japanese an insult to their national honor. Passed Over Hughes' Protest The original legislation was passed over Secretary of State Hughes’ protest. But publication of a letter written to Hughes by then Masanao Hanihara, Japanese ambassador fortelling “grave consequences” if the legislation were enacted, contributed considerably to its adoption. Many votes in congress apparently were won to exclusion as a means of protest against Hanihara’s alleged interference in a domestic question. Johnson led the fight for exclusion in the house. The late Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, then chairman of the foreign relations committee, was its champion in the senate. Johnson told the United Press he changed his mind regarding exclusion three or four years ago. Chance to Correct Mistake When Hanihara last week made a -speech renewing Japan’s protest against the act, Johnson said he saw an opportunity to correct a mistake. Under the exclusion law, Japan was removed from the list of quota countries and allowed an arbitrary 100 immigrants a year. Johnson’s amendment would put Japan on the same basis as other countries, whose quotas are assigned in proportion to number of their people residing here at an agreed time. Under this calculation Japan’s quota would be 180 or 190 persons annually. ermany, thinks differently. She adSAVES TRUNK IN FIRE Two Men Needed to Return Luggage Carried Out by Woman.
