According to Rumanian shipping circles the party, having registered as tourists, left Varna, Bulgaria, two months ago aboard the Velos. They planned, it was said here, to land in Palestine under the cover of night but were prevented from doing so by British authorities.

After their arrival in Palestine waters, a British warship halted th Velos and arrested the captain an second officer on charges of havin previously smuggled 500 Jews int Palestine. Since then the party ha suffered the greatest hardship, it members trying in vain to return their native countries. Thus far the; have been permitted to land in port. -J X. rx '(- i TOKIO HAILS THE HONORABLE MR.

BABE RUTH Tens of thousands of Japanese welcomed Babe Ruth to Tokyo with a frenzy of enthusiasm that sports celebrities seldom have encountered anywhere in the world. The milling mob swarmed in the streets, surrounded his car and practically brought it to a standstill. Babe is shown at right, vociferously greeting his welcomers with shouts and waving hand in reply to their "Banzai!" which means 'may you live 10,000 years." He went to Japan as a member of a team of barnstorming baseball players. Constanta, Rumania CD The wanderings of 318 homeless Jews, who for two months had sought a country in which they might live, were ended here today when word came from Warsaw that the Polish government consented to their return to Poland. As a result, harbor authorities permitted them to land from the S.

King Carol and to enter a special train which will carry the travelers homeward. To prevent any of them leaving the train enroute, the coaches were ordered sealed and guarded. Until the action of the Polish government, the situation of the Jews was desperate for, after an unsuccessful attempt to land in Palestine, they had been refused permission to come ashore in Rumania. Arriving here aboard the Rumanian steamer King Carol, to which they had transferred from the Greek steamer Velos at Piraeus, they were informed by authorities they could not land until guaranties had been received that they would be permitted to return to their respective countries. The party consists of 239 men and 79 women, of whom 249 are Poles, Reelect Thiede Philatelic Head Jake Liebl, Menasha, Again Vice President Of Society W.

O. Thiede was reelected president and Jake Liebl of Menasha vice president of the Appleton Phil-tellic society at a meeting at the Conway hotel Wednesday evening. F. G. Wheeler was named secretary and treasurer, succeeding Peter VandenBrand of Combined Locks.

Mr. Thiede exhibited his collec tion of precanceled bureau print stamps, United States stamps that are precanceled by the government rather than by the local postoffice. The next meting of the society will be held Dec. 12 at Menasha. The line of separation on the moon between the illuminated and the dark regions is called the lunar terminator.

J. W. Schwartz, Spring Green, and John Freeman, Ft. Atkinson, were elected to the board of directors. In one resolution adopted by the federation, the secretary of agriculture was urged to appoint a committee of milk producers which would plan a dairy program to secure federal benefit payments similar to those being given producers of wheat, cotton and corn.

The federation voted to support legislation requiring livestock dealers and association managers to be licensed and to furnish bond of to protect farmers against forgery and fraud. The organization also voted to support a bill to place interior packing plants and concentration handling 250 or more head of cattle per day, under government supervision. George E. Metzger, secretary of the Illinois Agricultural association, and Carl Rowe, president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, were among the speakers. 4 4 4 State Income Tax Delinquents Warned Of Legal Proceedings Outagamie and Waupaca-co residents who have not yet paid their delinquent state income taxes, are being advised by John M.

Rooney, Madison, collector of delinquent taxes for the Wisconsin Tax com-mission that they must make immediate settlement of the claims against them if they wish to avoid legal proceedings. Payment of these taxes, Mr. Rooney said, must be made within the next two weeks at the office of the assessor of Incomes at the courthouse in Appleton. Mr. Rooney was in Appleton yesterday confering with local officials about the delinquent list for the two counties and making plans for the institution of suits.

Mr. Rooney expects to return to Apple-ton in two weeks to start the suits. The delinquent income tax collector has been working in various parts of the state and has suits pending in many other counties at the present time. Taxpayers who desire to avoid legal proceedings are warned by Mr. Rooney that they may forestall such action by payment of their delinquent taxes within the next two weeks.

Today's report, one of a series the commission is making to the sen-" ate on its six-year inquiry into utilities, dealt with the campaign conducted through the press. The next will summarize the commission's story of through schools and educators.

"Obviously," the report said, "the two most important opinion-making and opinion-forming media are the press and the schools. The press leads in its direct effect upon the present adult population. The schools lead in molding the opinions of coming generations. "Accordingly, we find the most widespread and thorough planning and attention to the publicity given to these two greatest opinion-making factors. As to each, the plans were frankly stated.

They were comprehensive and complete. "When it is understood that the 'newspaper or magazine is practically a by-product of advertising (quoting a witness), and that inherently advertising expenditures therefore frequently carry a certain element of good will response from the recipients, the large total spent by utilities for advertising is relevant. Testimony that state publicity committees succeeded in getting thousands of inches of free spaces was given by several witnesses. Effort was made to get experienced newspapermen to run such committees, the report said, and their methods included the distribution of hundreds of releases, including interviews in defense of the utilities. Newspapermen were entertained, the commission said, some newspapers were financed by so-called power interests, and ostensibly independent news services were directly subsidized and created.

Office SPECIALS FOR FRIDAY SATURDAY! Los Angeles UP) A search for minute organisms which scientists have studied for centuries the hope of learning how life began is, the goal of an exploration party sailing tomorrow for the romantic and mysterious islands of the south Pacific. The cruiser Velero III, owned by Captain G. Allan Hancock, explorer, musician, mariner and business leader, whose favorite role is that of patron of science, will carry a party for the Smithsonian Institution of Washington. Dr. Waldo L.

Schmitt, authority on crustacea and curator of marine invertebrates of the United States National museum, is scientific chief of the party. For three months the cruiser, built like a navy destroyer, will trek the seas of adventure among the most famous and most lonely islands of the world. The fact that the cruiser will stop in the Galapagos and the scientists probably will be the first in the world to know the truth about the recent mystery of two starved bodies being found at Marchena island, does not enthuse them. They are more interested in hydroids to get further reports for the University of British Columbia on that phase of biology. Foes Still Hope They Can Defeat Waterway Project Opposition Planning Continue Its Battle In U.

S. Senate to Washington UP) The foes of the St. Lawrence waterway have not given up hope; they plan to fight. Defeat in the recent "elections and primaries of eight opponents of the treaty with Canada has not improved chances of ratification, in the opinion of several returning senators who helped reject it last session. President Roosevelt has ordered negotiations with Canada looking to slight changes in the pact.

Administration leaders have expressed belief the revisions, coupled with the election results, would improve the treaty's chances when it goes back to the senate next session. Opponents said today, however, that fundamental differences of opinion still would exist if the treaty were modified along the lines suggested by Mr. Roosevelt. Seven Republicans and one Democrat who joined the 42 "No" voters last March lost out in the recent balloting hail from Atlantic and Mississippi valley states where the opposition is centered. It would be erroneous; treaty opponents said, to assume all the successors of these men would favor the treaty.

Even if they did, administration captains still would have to pick up a half dozen or more votes among opponents on the original roll call, the senators argued. A switch of eight votes would fall far short of the two-thirds necessary for ratification. President Stronger Democratic leaders, however, are counting on the enhanced prestige and power of the president to swing a favorable vote. The president's assertion that the treaty would not be radically changed and that he would not agree to diversion of water from Lake Michigan beyond that fixed in the treaty is said to have stiffened some of the opposition, notably in the Mississippi valley and Chicago area. Senator Dieterich (D-IlL), a treaty opponent, said his views remain the same.

"The matter of constructing a waterway leading into the Great Lakes absolutely under control of a foreign nation weakens our national defense," he added. "Aside from this the internationalization of Lake Michigan is not a proper protection of the rights of our people. "The strangling of the lakes-to-gulf waterway will be productive of more harm to the central part of the United States than any benefit which would be derived by rendering the St. Lawrence river navigable to large water craft."

Offering shoppers an opportunity to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise with only the "auction money" issued by the Festival stores throughout the entire four-week period, the auction Saturday promises to be the high spot of the entire program. The "auction money" is issued by the participating stores as an "extra dividend," dollar for dollar on every purchase or payment on account made during the festival period and nothing but "auction money' will be accepted in payment for merchandise sold at the auction Saturday. Small Articles For Sale Shoppers who have saved only a comparatively small amount of "auction money" will have an opportunity to bid on many of the articles to be offered by the auctioneer Saturday while those who have saved large amounts are expected to bid on the larger and more, costly prizes to be placed on sale as the closing feature of the event.

The merchandise to be offered will include foodstuffs and fuel, wearing apparel ranging from a ladies' hat to two pairs of overshoes, a considerable amount of furniture, and other items. The larger furniture items, a new Grunow radio, a Frigidaire and a new Chevrolet coach will be offered as soon as the smaller articles are sold and will go to the bidder who offers the largest amount of "auction money." Christmas Savings Club Depositors to Get $62,000 Soon Checks totalling approximately $62,000, representing Christmas club savings during the current year, will be mailed to depositors by the three Appleton banks after Thanksgiving and during the week beginning Dec. 3. Although the amounts to be paid by each bank vary to some extent from last year's figure, the total amount is approximately the same as in 1933. Madison Capitol observers are waiting to see what Gov.

A. G. Schmedeman is going to do about appointing a successor to the late Theodore Kronshage, chairman of the state public Service commission. From reliable sources comes tne information that friends of the governor have advised him to appoint an outstanding liberal to this important state post on the theory that the incoming governor, Philip F. L3Follette would be placed in the position of having to accept the appointee.

Mr. Schmedeman has a little more than a month to make up his mind but to date has decided to do nothing. "That doesn't mean definitely hat the governor will turn down he opportunity of naming Mr. Krcr.bhage's successor," a close personal adviser said today. Of the few appointments which remain before the expiration of his term the position on the public service commission is the only outstanding one to be filled.

Mr. Schmedeman elevated his executive secretary, Theodore G. Lewis of Madison, to the supreme court vacancy last week. He also will name several members of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents before his retirement. The problem facing him on the public service commission appointment is the necessity of having the appointee confirmed by the next state senate.

Up to LaFollette To name a man unacceptable to Governor-elect LaFollette would be futile for the reason that it will be Mr. LaFollette and not Mr. Schmedeman who will send the name to the senate for confirmation. A Schmedeman appointee, therefore, would have but a scant month and a half to serve if the new governor disapproved of him. Mr.

Schmedeman's friends believe, however, that the governor can take command of the situation by appointing a man with experience and background whom Mr. LaFollette could not afford to ignore. One of the thing; which irked the retiring governor most during his campaign for reelection was the charge by Mr. LaFollette and other Progressive leaders that his administration favored the power interests. In denying this charge Mr.

Schmedeman placed emphasis upon the public statements of the man whose position on the public service commission is now open. He quoted Mr. Kronshage as stating that the governor's office had given the" commission complete cooperation in its extensive program of utility regulation. The governor pointed to the law which he recommended at the suggestion of the commission requiring public utilities to pay the costs of rate investigations before appealing to the courts to avoid assessments. In the light of the argument between the two principals in the cempaign, observers here find more than unusual interest in the question of which will name the successor to Mr.

Kronshage. Mr. LaFollette is assured of at least one appointment to the commission. The term of Commissioner A. R.

McDonald expires in February. Canvassing Board to Begin Work Tomorrow The county canvassing board will meet again at 9 o'clock Friday morning, when it is expected that Ihe actual work of recounting the ballots cast in the election on Nov. 6 will start, according to Supervisor Mike Jacobs, secretary. Supervisors John Grafmeier and Fred Konrad are the other members of the committee. Recounts have been asked of all the ballots cast for register of deeds; of 12 precincts in the race for district attorney and coroner; and of 1 1 precincts in the race for sheriff.

All the recounts have been asked by the Republican" candidates, who were runnersup in the four races. The Democratic candidates for sheriff, register of deeds and coroner and the Progressive candidate for district attorney apparently were elected to office by the results of the official canvass of the Compensation Asked for ueatn ol fcniil Wirth Compensation for the death of Emil "Wirth, 39. Appleton, was asked yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. August Wirth, his parents, at a hearing before F.

T. McCormick, examiner for the Wisconsin Industrial commis sion at the courthouse. The case arises under the Workmens Compensation act. Wirth was instantly killed on Dec. 16, 1931, when he was crushed beneath a falling boom sec-tion while employed by the Wisconsin Bridge and Iron company on a construction job at New Orleans.

Testimony also was taken before Mr. McCormick in the case of Ernest Wenberg, route 2, DePere, against the Institute of Paper Chemistry. Wenberg claims infection resulted from a bruise on his finger while employed by the institute. $2,800 Due City for Highway Maintenance The city will receive $2,807 'from the Wisconsin Highway commission for maintenance of state trunk highways.
