FRANKFORT - ON - MAIN, Germany, May 14- (Thursday) — The zeppelin lilndenburg arrived over the airport here at 4.55 a.m. (11.55 p.m. A.S.T.) today, completing its return from Its maiden trip to the United States.

The German dirigible took 48 hours, 27% minute to make its return flight. It took 61 hours, 53 minutes for its crossing from Friedrich- shafen, Germany, to Lake- hurst, N. J.

The Hindenburg bettered existing records for both the eastward and westward crossings.

The best previous mark from the United States to Germany was set by the Graf Zeppelin in August, 1929, when it, flew from Lakehurst. to Friedrichshaf- en in 54 hours.

The previous westward re- cord was set by the Los Anueles, then known as the ZR-Ii. in October,ri924, when Dr. Hugo Eckener brought the nil-Ship across the Atlan- tic in 81 hours, 17 minutes.

speakers strwed the worth while value of "the Exhibition, the im- provements that are being made in it from year to year and the splendid co-operation which every- one is giving towards it. A very pleasant musical program was rendered.

The Exhibition got away to a good start on Tuesday with judg- ing in the morning, races and vaudeville in the afternoon and ii. very fine night program. Large attendances were present every day and evening .the total of Wednes- day, morning. afternoon and even- ing. being the greatest of any day since the fair was instituted. The attendance for the week compared very favorably with that of the year 1031 which was our record breaker. The improvement in the evening programs which featured the horse show put on by the Char- lottetown and Halifax R'dlr.g clubs in the new and brilllailtly lighted arena. the splendid vaudeville pro- gram. good singing. and last but not least, the fireworks effects, drew commendation from the many thousands l. ‘ The Main Building and exhibits were under the supervision of Director Gordon Hiigbes, who made an even greater success or it this year than he did

Request Permission From United States and Japan to Exceed Destroyer Tonnage.

LONDON, May 13—Great Brit- ain has asked,the United Stats and Japan for permission to ex- ceed the destroyer tonnage limit in the 1980 three-power naval treaty.

The request, -disclosed today by Prime Minister Baldwin in the House of Commons. may arise from iicneased naval construction by some country which did not Sign the agreement, naval quarters believe.

Winston Churchill, once first lord of the admiralty. asked the ques- tion whlch resulted in Baldwin's disclosure.

SEE U. S. MENACE

TOKYO. May i3——Naval Min- ister Osami Nagano told a par- liamentary committee today that Japan must build more ships soon or be out distanced by the United States.

Japan has now a naval strength 80 per cent of that of the United States, the Admiral told a bud- get sub—oom.mittee of the lower House of Parliament. But. he add- ed. unless a. new construmiou pro- gram soon is undertaken, the Japanese ratio will fall to 58 per cent of United states strength by

Admiral‘ Nagsno also said it was necessary to "augment the navy's air forces in view of the lnte:nat- lonal situation in the far east." In- creased naval appropriatlrins in the future are “inevitable." he told the sub-committee.

BATES DENIES BUIIGET “TIP”

J. H. Thomas, Secre- tary for Colonies, to Testify Before Tri- bunal Today.

IDNDON, May l3.——'I'he friend- ship of J. H. Thomas, Secretary for the Colonies. and Alfred Bates. ad- vertising agency head. occupied the tribunal investigating the “budget leak" today. ,

Bates, who was one of those who took out insurance against the in- come tax increase announced in the budget. was asked point blank whether the Cabinet Minister had disclosed any of the budget secrets to him.

“Certainly not," Bates replied. In reply to questions Bates stated he did not receive "from any source any prior know‘edge about the con- tents of the budget.

At the morning session. Sir War- ren Fisher, permanent head CT the treasury, testified private secretar- ies and typists in the treasury as well as members of the Cabinet hfid prior knowledge of the budget pro- pwals. Sir Warren said one of his duties was the safeguarding of sec- ret information. He described the duties of secret operatives at the treasury who "see that people aren't getting careless."

"officers of the treasury are so accusto " to dealing with con- fidential information it is their ‘ nature to be reticent," Bir Warren added.

Thomas will appear before the tribunal tomorrow. The investiga- tion was ordered following allega- tions that an advance "tip-off" on the proposed tax increases enabled a group of persons to collect more than si»oo.ooo from Lloyd-s on 1-st- minutc insurance policies.

22 CONVIBTS SHOIIT WAY TO FREEDIIM

Use Foreman as Shield In Getaway—l6 Are Recaptured.

(A.P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

MCALES'I‘EiR. Okla., May 13 -- Twenty-two convicts broke loose with startling savagery from the Oklahoma state Penitentiary today, used a foreman as a shield, then l(il.‘.ed him and dumped his body from an automobile while 10 of their band were being shot down by guards.

Six of the escaping prisoners were recaptured unhurt. Five other desperadoes got away in the motor car, taking a regular guard as a hostage. A lone convict used an ice truck to escape.

or the 10 convicts wounded one was first reported dead but it later was established that he was only critically shot.

The convicts drew knives and seized c. D. Powell, foreman of the prison brickyarrl to which "danger- ous" inmates were assigned. Using him to shield themselves, they for- ced guards at the prison gate and on the walls to throw down their arms.

snatching the weapons they op- ened fire, wounded guard Bob Gos- sett four times and fled in Gcssett-'5

automobile. taking Powell and 'I‘iip Cope, another guard with them.

Shot through the head. Powell's body was dumped from the car as it sped toward downtown McAlestcr.

The hall is not only substantially built. but is provided with all the nttmgs and equipment necessary for the suc- cessful training and devdlopment of scouts and Cubs.

RESCliEM|NER LUSES LIFE

Cars Near Mouth Of Pit.

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

STELLARTON, N. 5., May 13. - A Nova. Scotia. miner who risked his_ life in the suicide shaft at Moose River to save Dr. D. E. Robertson and Alfred Scadding, lost it today in the black cavern of the Mac- Grcgor shaft, 4,000 feet under- ground.

A roaring “coal trip" a string of loaded cars returning to the sur- face, struck Joseph Campbell, 200 feet from the shaft entrance, killing the 27-year old miner almost, in- stantly.

with a group of other Stellartott miners, Campbell was on a fishing trip near Moose River when news of the collapse of the gold mine there and the eritombing of Dr. Robertson. Scaddiiig and Herman Mngill reached them.

"Boys, we'Ii have to 30," Camp- bell told them. The party reached Moose River almost at the same time as did five Sieilarton draeger- nicii led by Louis "l‘iiily" Bnudoux.

Campbell is survived by a wife and one child. The accident was the second in the stellarton coal mines in two days, both from the same cause, a full trip. Yesterday William Hayes received a badly in- jured foot when a trip passed over it in the Allan shaft, which has been the "death shaft" for nearly 200 miners since its opening '75 years Bio.

ments to the League covenan

Would Lift Sanctions -

It was further suggested that by this process the council might lift sanctions against Italy and begin new discussions with Riome, not in the spirit of a. surrender of League powers but rather as a grant of concessions pointing toward a far- reaching program of reform.

Anthony Eden. British Foreign Secretary, is to remain in Geneva for another day for an exchange of views on the Italian question and the problem of reorganization.

Two communications were re- ceived before the League’s admin- istrative group concluded its ses- sions.

Ethiopia sent a letter from the president of the Egyptian Red Cross which characterised as "wretcha" certain Egyptians who made, "purely for gain,"‘ accusa- tions of Ethiopian atrocities.

Italy told the League Lieut. Al'- mand note, a Belgian. had signed an affidavit describing sadistic orgies he said he witnessed while with Ethiopian rtoops.

Future Action Indefinite

ROME. May l3—(A. P.)—Itely's quarrel with the League of Nations. well-informed Fascists predicted tonight, may become a furicl:|ien- tel dispute involving all of Eur-

pe.

Neither diplomatic sources nor government omcials would answer the question whether Italy would definitely quit the League at the Council's June session.

However, an informed commen- tator gave this interpretation of yesterday's precipitate departure of the Italian delegation from Gen- eva:

"The situation is one of suspend- ed collaboration. Itnly considers the League members to be living in a house of faninsy and unreality. They are living in a world of dreams."

Whatever Geneva's eventual atti-

tude. howcvcr, Italy's intention of holding and developing Ethiopia. was stressed in s(‘\'I:‘ral ofliciai an- n- lincements. The ministry of colonies an- nounced lt was ready to receive plans for the development of com- merce and research in the van- quished land.

Diplomatic observers recalled that Baron Aloisi. before his departure for Rome for Geneva, had a long talk with Maxim Litvlnoff. the Sov- ict Foreign Commissar. The diplo- mats said Rusisa patently wanted Italy back in the fold of European collaboration to not as a counter- weight tc Nazi Germany on the Reich's southwestern border.
