President of National Geo
graphic and Wife Trav
eled 22,000 Miles.
Dr Gilbert Grosvenor, president of
the National Geographic Society, has
returned to the society's headquarters
here following a 22.000-mile survey of
the Orient, during which he and Mrs.
Grosvenor travelled extensively in
both China and Japan preceding the
outbreak of hostilities.
Flying across the Pacific in one of
the new clipper ships of the Pan
American system, the Grosvenors
found they had the distinction of be
ing the first married couple to make
the journey entirely by air from Ala
meda Airport, Calif., to Hong Kong.
The last gap in the Pacific air route,
that between Manila, Philippine
Islands, and Hong Kong, was opened
to passenger service the week after
they arrived in Manila.
One of the objectives of the jour
ney was to give the National Geo
graphic Society-U. S. Navy Eclipse
Expedition a send-off from Honolulu,
May 6. Weather conditions at San
Francisco, however, delayed the de
parture of their plane, and the Gros
venors could not be present when the
TJ. S. Avocet sailed with the party of
scientists who succesfully photo
graphed and observed the total eclipse
of June 8 on Canton Island, in mid
Paciflc.
Greeted at Hong Kong.
At Hong Kong, however, the Gros
venors were greeted by Dr. G. Weid
man Groff, professor of Agriculture
at Lingnan University, China, and
leader of the National Geographic So
ciety-Lingnan University Expedition
Into Northern Kwangsi Province.
At Shanghai the Grosvenors stayed
at the Cathay Hotel, where recently
an airplane bomb killed and injured
scores and partly wrecked the hotel.
At the time of their visit conditions
were quiet. There they were met by
their daughter. Mrs. Cabot Coville,
wife of the Second Secretary of the
United States Embassy at Tokio.
Traveling by train from Shanghai
to Peiping, a brief halt was made at
Nanking. Dr. Grosvenor had an in
terview with Dr. Wang Chung Hul,
minister of foreign affairs, and Dr.
Hsu Mo, vice minister.
During their stay of two weeks at
Peiping the Grosvenors were the
guests of the United States Ambassa
dor to China and Mrs. Nelson Trusler
Johnson, at the Embassy.
Saw Chou Kou Tien Cave.
The Johnsons took them to see
the excavations in the Chou Kou Tien
cave, 30 miles southwest of Peiping
where five skulls of the Peking man j
had been found and from which a
sixth, the best, was recovered several \
days after their visit.
Dr. and Mrs. Grosvenor also jour- j
neved to the Mongolian border to see ,
China's most famous rock carving in
the Yunkang caves. They spent a j
night in a temple on China's sacred !
mountain, Taishan. to which Chinese
for 4,000 years have been making an
nual pilgrimages.
A month was spent in Japan visit
ing with Mr. and Mrs. Coville, who
have a Summer home at Lake Chu
zenji. and seeing some of the famed
beauty spots. While in Tokio Dr.
Grosvenor related his experiences on
the flight from San Francisco to Hong
Kong to large meetings of the Pan
Pacific Club and also of the Ameri
can Japan Society. He was presented
to each gathering by Prince Iyesato |
Tokugawa. who for 30 years was presi- j
dent of the House of Peers and Is j
uncle of Premier Konoye. Luncheons j
in honor of the Grosvenors were given j
by the United States Ambassador and i
Mrs. Joseph C. Grew, and also by j
the Foreign Vice Minister and Mrs. j
Kensuke Horunouchi.
The return journey from Yokohama
was made by steamer, although the
Grosvenors did not come directly to
Washington. Landing at Vancouver,
B. C., they travelled overland through
Canada to their Summer home on
Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
PAY ROLLS AND JOBS
PUT AT 1929 LEVEL
68.000 Factory Wage Earners'
Were Re-employed in Indus
tries. Miss Perkins Says.
By the Associated Press.
Secretary Perkins reported yester
day the seasonal expansion of indus
trial activity from July to August
boosted manufacturing pay rolls and
employment to 1929 levels.
Tlie August factory employment
Index, adjusted after the Labor De
partment's August survey of both
manufacturing and non-manufactur
ing Industries, was higher than any
month since November, 1929. with the
exception of May, 1937. The pay roll
index also topped all months’ since
November, 1929, with the exception
of April and May, 1937.
The Secretary estimated that 68,000
factory wage earners were re-employed
In manufacturing industries between
' July and August, although a survey
of 16 non-manufacturing industries
showed a drop of 25.000 workers. The
department labeled this as a seasonal
decline.
The gains recorded in manufactur
ing pay rolls and employment would
have been considerably higher except
for the temporary shutdowns in the
motor car industry in preparation for
the new models.
Miss Perkins estimated weekly pay
rolls in the manufacturing and non
manufacturing industries surveyed in
creased $8,400,000 from July to Au
gust. As compared with August, 1936,
the August, 1937, pay roll survey
showed a gain of $64,100,000.

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
_
Police Believe Boy Who
Wounded Her Will Go
' Unpunished.
By th* Associated Press.
TOLEDO, Ohio, September 25.—
Miss June Mapes, 59, Arlington School
principal, said today she would not
prefer charges against Robert Snyder,
12-year-old pupil, who shot her and
then turned the gun on himself.
The announcement indicated, police
said, that the boy may escape pun
ishment. Police, after two days of
investigation, announced they would
leave the case for possible action by
school officials in Juvenile Court.
“I believe a psychologist should ex
amine the boy and plan a course of
future development for him,” Miss
Mapes said in an interview at Toledo
Hospital.
Miss Mapes was shot through the
abdomen when, Robert told police,
he became angry because the principal
refused to call a girl classmate from
her class room.
"I intended to force Miss Mapes
to buy us ice cream cones,” Robert said.
Both Miss Mapes and the boy, who
has a bullet wound through his head,
are expected to recover.
“It was just like a movie perform
ance.” Miss Mapes today described
the shooting.
"The boy just dramatised himself
all of the time. He has been reading
lurid tales and seeing movies,” she
said. "Robert had a tense, dramatic
manner. It was all so perplexing
and ridiculous. I couldn’t imagine
a normal boy doing something like
that.”
Detective Lieut. Ralph Murphy of
the homicide squad said he learned
today that Robert did not write a
message found In the dust of the
principal's car which said: "The
green hornet—shot by me. (Signed)
The Hare.”
"It was written by other children
after the shooting,” Murphy said.
