LOS ANGELES. May 22. (AP)
Two airplanes in which to filers
plan trans-oceanic (lights within
a month, successfully passed the
department . of commerce flying
tests at a suburban airport today.
The planes, low winged mono
planes, similar to that in which
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
ners recently established a trans
continental flight record, are ready
for delivery to Col. Roberto Fier
ro, director of cirilian aviation in
Mexico, and Harold Bromley, who
projects a flight from Tacoma to
Tokyo, Japan.
Bromley tested his ship and an
nounced that tomorrow he will
take It to Moroc dry lake in the
Mojave desert for a load test and
that probably by Monday he will
be ready to fly It to Tacoma.
CoL Flerro's plane was tested
by H. W. Catlin, plant pilot,. who
pronounced it ready to go. The
Mexican said he will leave Mon
day for New York. He will be ac
companied by Arnulfo Cortes,
mechanic, who will go with him
OTer the entire 10,583 mile route
he has mapped out. Col. Fierro ex
pects to fly nonstop from New
York to Mexico City, to fly over
Central America to Bahal, Brazil,
and from there nonstop to Dakar,
Africa. From Dakar he expects to
fly to Paris and London before
chipping his plane here. His craft
carries 440 gallons of gasoline.
Both planes are powered with
425 horsepower motors and Brom
ley's is equipped to carry 3'
gallons of gasoline. " Last summer
Bromley attempted to start on the
trans-Pacific hop but wrecked his
plane at the take off in Tacoma.

each troop will pitch tent and hoist
its flag as the first order of the
day. First event starts at 10:00
o'clock that morning.
This event marks the second
spring rally for scouts of the two
counties, and according to advance
dope, tne one Saturday promises
greater excitement and keener
rivalry than was displayed at the
interesting rally last year. O. P.
West, scout executive, will direct
the activUieiTand judges will in-'
elude Bob Boardman, Blaine Mc-
Cord of Woodburn. BUI Phillips
and a -Mr. Dove, student from the
State Normal at Monmouth.
A particularly specular. ,oent
of the rally will be the. tower
building race, in which six scouts
from each troop entering will con
struct a tree-sided wooden tower,
12 feet high, without a nail and of
natural woods only. All joints
must be lashed. When the tower
is completed, one scout must gain
the top and start signalling, using
flags, in any eode.
Other events for which individu

weather over the Atlantic was
good.
The test of the ship on this
flight came In the early hours of
this morning when the ZeppeUn
ran Into an area of equatorial
deluge. Dr. Eckener bad started
the fifth motor at midnight in ex
pectation of these storms and had
ordered the bridge to "drive
through them."
Keenly alert, he watched the
effect of the tons of water that
fell on the .763 foot long craft
No ballast whatever was dropped
and only three quarters of a de
gree angle of elevation was ne
cessary to offset a two ton In
crease of the weight of the ship.
The speed was little affected.
Before 6 a. m., the Graf was
through the storm. It rushed
over a half dozen steamers daring
the day, all saluting and dipping
their colors.
We shot across the equatorial
line at 8:38 a. m., (5:38 a. -m.,
EST.) with Captain Lehman hand
ling the watch on the bridge.
This is my third flight across
the Atlantic and the most pleas
ant of all. At no time was there
the slightest tension or anxiety on
the part of the passengers, who
were as unconcerned as if they
had been on an ocean steamer.

Proof that at least one grower
in Marlon county has faith In the
future of the prune Industry was
evident late yesterday, when Ros-
eoe Thomas of Jefferson, owner of
one of the largest prune dryers in
the northwest, bought the 30-aere
prune orchard belonging to Wil
liam E. Moses, local real estate
dealer. Consideration was giv
en as $10,000, the purchase price
including equipment on tne or
chard.
The orchard located on the edge
of town on the Green's Bridge
road, contains 2,000 trees, and
was planted by Mr. Moses. Half
of the trees are 10 years old and
the other half nine years old. The
orchard Is considered one of the
best In the state of its size and
has made a remarkable growth.
This year's crop promises to be
very good.
The new owner has four or five
other orchards near Jefferson,
one of them adjoining the fruit
farm he has lust purchased.
Declaration by several members
of the city council that they are
not in favor of making any guar
antees to the Oregon-Washington
Water Service company in connec
tion with its offer to resume con
struction of the filter plant and
other improvements, was the
principal development in the mu
nicipal ownership situation Thurs
day.
These aldermen believe that
even though it should be possible
to make a legally binding guaran
tee such as the company asks as
Inducement fori it to resume con
struction, namely that it will not

in question, it would tie the city's

Such a guarantee would amount
to an agreement to purchase so
much of the company's property.
It Is pointed out, and not all mem
bers of the council are sure that
the city should be committed to
that course." They wish to be in

The Pennsylvanlan assailed the
settlement as likely to be constru

Question of German reparations
and that of Allied debts to the

Chairman Hawley of the ways
