The death of Dr. Nansen occurred so suddenly that neither his near relatives nor any doctor was present. For some time he had been kept in bed with an infection of his leg. During the last few weeks, however, he had felt and was able to be up again-, Lectured Here.

Dr. Nansen had been planning to make his North Pole trip this year, but because of the unfavorable economic situation iiiii the impossibility of concluding insurance arrangements for 1930, the project was canceled with every expectation of making it in 1931. The famous explorer, who made several trips to the Arctic, the most noted being the Fram expedition in 1893,. also gave much of his life to relief work after the World War, being particularly interested in efforts to establish an Armenian national homeland. He was widely known In the United States, where he frequently visited and lectured, his last visit being in 1929, when he outlined his plans for the North Pole flight which was being sponsored by the Aero Arctic Society.

The daring and history-making achievement of the flier established a new record for transportation of mall across the South Atlantic and reduced to three days letter postage from Europe and to four days the transportation of mail to Buenos Aires. His hop of 2,125 miles from St.

Louis, Senegal, to Natal, was made under a variety of weather conditions. For' the most part the latter hours of his voyage were spent in extreme peril and discomfort. Treats Danger Lightly In spite of these obstacles Mermoz today declared that the flight was not "a serious one," saying he and his two companions at no time greatly extended themselves in the effort. The pilot and his mates came through to Rio Janeiro today in a regular mail plane from atal. In which they will arrive tonight at the Campo dos Alfonsos Flying Field.

Landing was made at 6:12 a.m. (4:12 a.m. Eastern Standard time), at the flier's exact destination, Natal, near the northeastern tip of the continent. Colorful demonstrations were being arranged today here and in several other cities, through which the progress of Mermoz and his associates will be little lets than a triumphal march. The plane, a postal hydro-airplane, left Perp gnan, France, May 2 for St.

Louis. When departing at noon yesterday for Natal it picked up airmail which had been brought Saturday night from Paris, by plane, and took it across the Atlantic. This lap of the Europe-South American airmail heretofore has meen made in fast destroyers. Not F.asy Flying All was not easy flying for. the plane.

The first part of its trip was easy, but once near the middle of the Journey the aviatois radioed that the cabin of thei plane was nearly filled with rain which fell during a storm through which they had tust passed. They passeu over Fernando do Noronha, where there is a Brazilian penal colony, at 12:45 a.m. (Eastern standard time), but nearly two hours and a half to negotiate the remaining 125 miles or more of their Journey. Aboard the plane with Mermoz are M. D'Abry, navigator, and M.

Guimie, radio operator. Several fliers already have flown the short Southern course of 1,700 miles from the Atlantic-African coast to the southwestern tip of South America France Claims Seaplane Record Paris, May 13 W) Laurent Eynac, French Minister of the Air, today cabled official congratulations to Mermoz. at Natal. M. Eynac informed Mermoz and hie two companions that they had broken the world seaplane distance record In traveling 3,200 kilometers (1.987 miles) in 21 hours 10 minutes.

It was commented that the flight was all the more remarkable because made with a commercial seaplane instead of the special longdistance plane. "I am happy to send your valiant crew my warmest congratulations," read Eynac's message, "for the first magnificent commercial voyage over he Atlantic Ocean. "I applaud with all my heart the striking success of your brilliant professional qualities in bringing back to France the enviable longdistance seaplane reocrd." Stocks Are Firm In Quiet Market The stock market today was a dull trading affair with gains for the most part confined to one and two points and losses to even a smaller range. The ticker kept abreast of trading most all the day. Oil shares became a little more active and led by Standard of New Jersey, reached moderately higher levels.

Utilities maintained recent gains well. U. S. Steel and other pivotal Btocks were fairly Bears saw little opportunity to depress prices profitably and bullish forces were not over ambitious. Active buying of copper at higher levels was a stimulating Influence and various items In the day's newa were more constructive than other wise.

But traders were inclined to stick close to shore, and their taking of small profits kept prices from moving rapidly. Stock Table on Page 3. THE EAGLE INDEX Amtlvn CluiiAf Ads 2-80 Death Notices 17 Dr. Brt, Fatri, Featrea. itf Fa-ItorUla So Financial I-nf HI anil 4 -A t9t.

May 13 The 8-lnch gun cruiser, of which the United States will build 18 under the London naval compact, is a much overrated ship.

Secretary of Sta te Henry L. Stimson told the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations today. The United States in the near future may wish to put its principal strength Into 6-lnch gun cruisers, exercising an option to build a fleet which shall be the exact parallel of Great Britain's, Mr. Stimson said. Aduhi Senators These statements impressed members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as little short of amazing.

The Navy Department In the past has insisted that the United States had no strategic use for 6-inch gun cruisers. Relying on the opinion of the general board of the Navy, Congress has authorized construction of 23 cruisers of the 8-inch class, each of 10,000 tons. The London treaty reduces this program to 18 ships, on which it is proposed to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. Calls 8-Inch Gun Ship Overrated In the face of these facts, Secretary Stimson, reflecting the opinion of his naval adveslrs, today testified that the 8-lnch ship is a much overrated weapon. "The 8-lnch has never been tested in battle," he said, "and it is my opinion that the United States should not.

put all its eggs in the 8-inch basket. Cruisers have different functions, and some of these are best performed by 6-lnch ships." It is thi apparent present attitude of the Navy Department that the type of cruiser best adapted to American battle needs is a mere matter of guesswork, and that therefore it is advisable to build both large and small cruisers, in the hope that one of them will prove suitable in the event of war. Whether Congress, in the face of Mr. Stlmson's warning that the 8-lnch, cruiser is much overrated, will now wish to spend hundreds of millions on this type of ship is problematical. Defense of Compromise Mr.

Btlmson's enthusiasm for the 6-inch cruiser is in part au attempt to deftnd the compromise reached in London. The United States now has 70.000 tons in 8lnch cruisers, to which it Is proposed to add 73.000 tons of new construction. The Navy Department held to the 6-lnch ship in the past, has changed its attitude. In view of the doubt in Congress as to the 6-lnch ship Mr. Please Turn to Page 2 Jones and Mackenzie Win Foursome Match Sandwich, England, Mav 13 Bobby Jones today got together an AH-American foursome with himself, George Voigt, George Von Elm and Roland Mackenzie for some serious practice designed to find ways and means of overcoming the pitfalls with which Sandwich's famous course is plentifully supplied.

Jones, seemed to revel in the heavy rain which fell most of the mcrn-tng. He produced some excellent golf and was two over an average of fours for the outward half. Mac-Jones and Mackenzie won, 2 and 1. Jones had a score of 73 and Mackenzie's short game was not far short of that of his famous partner. He holed a 15-foot putt at the ninth and his putting on the homeward nine was the feature of the match, kenzle 74.

From 12 to 22 percent showed apparent recovery, it was said.

Dr. Sundstroem said that one of the possible dangers of the treatment existed in the fact that when insufficient care was taken in adapting the rats to the low pressure by gradual process, 50 percent of them died. Three hundred rats were used in the experiment. Of these 133 were subjected to the full treatment of from three to six weeks. West Point, N.
