FLIERS HOP
FOR MOSCOW
(Continued from Page One)
FLIERS LAND IN BERLIN
BERLIN. July 6 (VP) The Ameri
can round - the - world flying team,
Bennett Griffin and James Mattern,
set their red, white and blue mono
plane down In Berlin at 6:40 p. m.
(11:40 a. m. E.8.T.) today, and there
by set two new marks for other
aviators to shoot at.
They brought their "Century of
Progress" across the Atlantic In the
amazingly fast time of IB hours and
41 minutes, and became the first
American transatlantic filers to reach
this capital non-stop.
Mattern said they would take off
again for Moscow before night unless
the- weather made It Inadvisable.
"Tired?" he said, "not a bit, we've
got double controls and we stood
regular watches. While I was work
lng Griff slept, and when he took
It over, I curled up,
- "ft was 10 hours and 60 minutes
on the dot after we left Harbor Grace
that we sighted land. We kept on
and from there-i-I guess that was
Ireland we got to Berlin In 17 hours,
40 -minutes flying time altogether.
"Missed the Town"
"We'd have got here sooner, oh,
hours sooner, but we missed the
town 'and veered off io the north.
Griff spotted the name on a little
railroad station and we turned around
and came south again. ' '
"For all we saw there might not
have been any ocean at all. Wo were
flying blind In fog and believe It or
not, our altitude ran from six Inches
to 10,000 feet.
"Well, we went south of Scotland
and then we hit the North sea. Just
where we struck the continent of
Europe, I -don't know."

' German pilots on the field were
Jubilant when the American plane
came down. Several ran out to where
It rolled to a stop and thrust foam
ing scuttles of beer at filers. To
their amazement the Americans
waved it aside.
"What we want," said Griffin, "is
a good long drink of water. That
beer looks good but it might not set
so -well. Wo haven't had anything
but oranges since we left New York."
But they both looked fine behind
their wide grins as tho welcome be
came a small ovation.
Hermann Koehl, who took the air
plane Bremen across to Green Icy
Island a couple of years ago. greeted
his friend Mattern, whom he had
met In Detroit.
When the crush was over Griffin
and Mattern were taken over to the
airport hotel where somebody gave
them tooth brushes, soap and towels.
' Ahead of Post and Gntty
Their fast crossing from Harbor
Grace put them two hours and 66
minutes ahead of Poet and Gatty,
the round-the-world record holders,
at the Berlin stage of the Journey, on
the basis or elapsed time.
When Post and Gatty struck Berlin
after b topping at Harbor Grace, Ches
ter, England, and Hanover, they had
eaten up 34 hours and 34 minutes.
Although Mattern and Grirfln took
more than 10 hours to reach Harbor
Grace from New York, they reduced
the Post -Gatty margin of over four
hours on that trip, by cutting out
the Intermediate stops to the German
capital.
(Post and Gatty spent 11 hours and
8 minutes sleeping In Berlin and the
Mattern-Grlffln team may gain more
time by proceeding immediately to
ward Moscow).
Fought Windstorm
Mattern and Griffin could have
made it to Berlin In even less time
If they had not had to fight a ter
rific windstorm In the Hanover area.
They apparently maneuvered around
the worst of the blow, and thus took
longer than expected to complete the
hop.
As a result, only a small crowd was
on hand to greet them, but Tempel-
hof airdrome officials did their ut
most to mark the new heights of
transatlantic) aviation. As the grace
ful streaks of red, white and blue
circled around Tempelhof. and drop
ped lightly into the runways, the
stars and stripes were raised, and a
band pleayed the "Star Spangled
Banner."

SPEAKS OF SONGS
; (Continued from Page One)
cowboy songs while a student at Har
vard university, and for three years
he traveled about the west on a
traveling fellowship from there, col
lecting songs, many of which never
have been published before.
The cowboy ballad has a distinct
place In American culture. Dr. Lomax
believes, since they are a direct out
growth of an Industry-and a romance
which was prevalent -throughout the
west In the earlier days, the cattle
Industry. Most of Dr. Lomax's col
lection he secured trom among tho
cowboys of Arizona, Texas, and Now
Mexico, but they are sung through
out the western states from Canada
,to Mexico..'"
The longhorn cattle responded to
the human voice, and -the rise of
cowboy music was due as much to the
necessity of quieting the herd as
from loneliness. The cattle were
"bedded down" at night In a large
circle, and two riders acted as sen
tinels. They would ride around In
the herd In the dark, and out of
their loneliness wouud come the songs,
The songs express the philosophy of
the cowboy, and all tend to be In
the melancholy vein, Dr. Lomax's ex
amples, which he sang this morning,
would denote. They deal with death,
with daring, love, romance, naturo,
religion, some In a serious, others In
a ribald vein.
Tho audience Joined In singing the
chorus of several songs and Dr. Lo
max presented many different types
of cowboy songs.

DAMAGE ACTIONS
FILED AGAINST
K. C. NEWSPAPER
(Continued from Page One)
In tho Jackson county circuit court;
In a atatement Doherty Indicated
other actions will follow.
The suit In the name of the Cities
Service Oas company charges that
the Star printed attacks on It as the
result of a conspiracy between the
newspaper "and persons unknown to
tho plaintiff to Injure and destroy
the plaintiff's business."
For many months the Star has conJ
ducted an editorial campaign tor
lower gas rates In Missouri and Kan
sas. ' The first libel suit, filed by
Doherty resulted from this campaign.
It was based on a charge attri
buted to the Star that Mr. Doherty
profited personally from fees charged
subsidiary companies for managerial
services.
Doherty's petition filed today states
that the Star, In an editorial, com
pared Doherty by Inference with the
pirate, Captain Kldd.
It says the Star stated that Honry
L. Doherty owned a lot of Wall street
upon which the resldonco of Captain
Kldd was once located and concluded
"he may have takon It over out of
sentiment for a pioneer for whom he
doubtless experiences a feeling of
kinship. Kldd was exocuted for pir
acy but that was more than 200
yeara ago."
George B. Longan, president of the
KansBS City Star company, said to
day, "the Star la not concerned about
the new Doherty suit nor about any
threatened suits."
"The Star has no doubt there is
only one purpose and that is to divert
attention from the gas rate contro
versy which is now pending a deci
sion In Kansas," Mr. Longan said.
"Those suits In the Btar's opinion
are smoke screens.
"Tho Star is interested in only
one thing. That is an oqultablo gas
rate and tho Star doos not Intend to
bo diverted from that Issuo by a side
show, which in our opinion, this Is."

In an article today urged that the

The conflicts between the enact

Ho urged also that: J
Persons mentally or physically un

Men divorced from wives with minor,

of flood protection. His information
was contained In a report by M- S.
BrlggB, corporation representative In
Shanghai.
"Contrary to the general belief that
the commission simply dealt out
wheat or flour to starving refugees,"
Brlggs wrote, "It organized a vast
army of over a million laborers who
wero willing to exchange work for
the wheat or flour. All the relief
wheat and flour was handled under
this arrangement.
"What la quite pertinent to us Is
the fact that It Is estimated that over
3,000,000 Chinese have been positively
converted from rice eaters to wheat
consumers and it Is felt that they
had been permanently converted, be
cause I understand these people have
learned that they can do more work
over a longer period of time on less
wheat than they have been accus
tomed to do on a larger quantity of
rice.
"The summation of It all Is that
the commission has really created In
tho Yangtze valley a market for wheat
and flour and If some arrangement
can be subsequently worked out
whereby this educational process may
continue there certainly are enor
mous potentialities for the outlet of
American grain."
