Tne house hill does not disturb 'existing free trade relations between the Phil ippines and this country. Speculation persisted today that if the sliding scale were dis carded a compromise rata of 1 cents against Cuba would be agreed upon. No, one would comment offic ially.'howerer, on such a prospect. ; ' While tha mala committee was hearing witnesses suggest a score or mora of changes In the admin istrative sections of the bill, a committee listened to a plea by representatives of Independent land midcontihent oil producers for a duty of one dollar a barrel on petroleum and compensatory tariffs oa Its by-products, aU bow o nthe free list.

Friday, July 12th, at Culver City Air. port near Los Angeles, Lorea Mcndell and "Pete" Reinhart, co-pilots of the Buhl Wright motored, air sedan "Aogekoo", completed the greatest endurance flight in history, es tablishing a record of 246 hours, 43 minutes and 32 seconds in the air. Physically exhausted themselves, bat with their motor ia perfect condition, the flyers were brought down after nearly a week and a half of continuous flight because of the ac cumulation of foreign substance on the sta bilizer which made further flying hazardous. Both flyers paid high tribute to Rich field Gas oline and Richlube Motor Oil which they had selected after exhaustive tests and which made possible the perfject performance of their mo tor throughout the flight. Carrying an over-load of almost seven hun dred pounds, in excess of the regular "pay load" of the Buhl air sedan, their total gaso line consumption was less than twelve gallons per hour of flying time, while their oil aver aged less than one quart an hour an almost phenomenal record best expressed in Rein hart's words, "The oil gauge' might just as well hsve been painted. Ir didn't- drop a pound of pressure during the entire flight.' Once again Richfield has helped make air history. The same qualities that made it the , choice for the "Quostion Mark" army flight first of die great endurance achievements; the -selection of Captain Wilkins for his thril ling dash over the North Pole and the choice of winners in many other speed and endur ance records are carried oa in this epochal eleven days among the clouds -more than 22,000 miles' of continued flight. Use Richfield and Richlube in your own car the ideal combination for everyday driv ingbetter by actual test. Tim 246 Urn, 43 ms. S3 Tikis Ltun W. Mnitt d "Ptlt" Ktmhtrt Smn A. B.
