(By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES, CALF., July 20 Harry Pidgeon who singled-handed sailed a 34-foot yawl from Los Angeles harbor to Honolulu and back last summer is preparing his craft for a voy

age to . the South Sea Islands, 3,000 j mile3 south-west of here. He plans

to set sail for the Marquea3 within-.

the next month or so.

Pidgeon is an amateur manner. Without previous experience, he built his boat himself, he got his plan from the 25-foot yawl "Seabird" in which Thomas Flemming Day made a trip across the Atlantic 12 years ago, but made his boat nine feet longer. When he had finished his hip building last summer, he obtained a sextant and picked up a little navig-ation then he set sail alone and made Honolulu in 26 days after a fairly rough trip. He also sailed the boat home, but took a shipmate along to give him a better opportunity to sleep.Pidgeon plans to take supplies and water sufficient for two or three months, to carry him through the Doldrums in the South Pacific. A sea anchor will furnish a valuable part of equipment for use in heavy weather and when he sleeps.

IMMIGRATION LITTLE AFFECTED BY NEW PERCENTAGE MEASURE (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 20 The restrictive immigration law which went into effect June 3 thus far nas barred no newcomers who have been able to reach these shores. Officials at the Ellis island immigration station said today that while

European embarkation had been somewhat curtailed and there had been some delays in admission of immigrants, none had been turned back here because his country's quota had been filled. The only persons excluded have been those unable to meet the usual physical, mental and moral tests. At present there is a surplus of only two nationalities. The July

quota for Greece of 657 already has been filled with an excess of 49, while Palestine has sent two more than its quota of 11.

Extras Await Decision These extra immigrants have applied for a hearing before they are deported. As there are no ships sailing for Greece from New York this

month the 49 at least wilf be here in August and it will be up to Washington to decide whether they are to be admitted in the quota for that month. Ellis island faces the prospect of being caught long on Poles and Turks

for the July quotas are filled and large numbers from these two countries are on the high seas and due before the end of the month. Therefore rulings from Washington are being early awaited here on whether these Poles and Turks are to

be held over for charging against the August quotas or shipped back home. Officials pointed out that if premature arrivals were admitted, quotas for the last few months of the 13 that the restrictive law is in effect soon would be used up.
