FLIGHT RECORD
Return Trip Cuts Time But
Stop Made Throwing
Doubt on Claim
Storm and Fuel Shortage
Overcome in Dash
Eastward
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 18
(AP) Battling storms and
fuel shortages on their eastward
trip, William S. Brock and Ed
ward P. Schlee. today completed
the fastest record ronnd-trip
ocean to ocean fight across the
United States.
They reached San Diego in the
record tlm eof 13:55:30 without
incident and despite adversity
which struck them soon after
they started the return voyage
and followed them to. the end,
they managed to make it back In
16 hours and 60 minutes. Their
elapsed time for the round trip
was 31 hours and 58 minutes.
After fighting severe electrical
storms and head winds over the
Rockies last night and being
forced to land for fuel at Talln
lah. La., this morning, they ran
out of gas at the municipal air
port here and crashed Into a
fence, narrowly escaping injury.
and doing considerable damage to
the plane. They had crossed the
finish line at Jacksonville Beach,
12 miles away, a few minutes be-
fore.
Difficulties Met
In Mountain Area
leaving San Diego at 5:11 p.
m., the airmen encountered their
first difficulties over the moun
tains. Several times they said
they thought they would be forc
ed to jump in their parachutes.
Riding from one storm to anoth
er they barely managed to get
through. The landing at Tallulah
was made at 9 a. m., when they
reached Jacksonville they flew
Into dense clouds. Brock esti
mated he spent nearly forty min
utes seeking his bearings.
The landing at Tallulah pre
vented the west-east flight from
being non-stop and threw a ques
tion on any claim for a record
Flight officials said the time for
the flight would be compared
with the marks set by Captain
Frank Hawks on an ocean to
ocean basis, despite the fact
Hawks' route was about 400
miles longer than that taken by
Brock and Schlee. Hawks made
the eastward trip in 19:10, fly
ing from New York to Los An
geles. His eastward time was
17:4S. His elapsed time was
43.59.
Lower Mark Made
By Doolittle
The pair easily beat the pre
vious records held for transcon
tinental flights between Jackson
ville and San Diego and San
Di-'go and Jacksonville. The
first westward flight from Jack
sonville was made by Lient.
James Doolittle in 1922. Brock
and Schlee cut more than 7 hours
from this record.
Major T. McCauley. San Diego,
made the initial west-east flight
In 1019.
Brock and Schlee left here on
their westward flight at 5:04 a.
m., Tuesday, arriving at San
Diego at 3:56 p. m., they had
planned to make the round trip
in 24 to 30 hours.

Government Cost Mounts
Above Estimates, is
Reported
WASHINGTON, June IS
(AP) With government expen
ditures climbing beyond budget
estimates for the fiscal year 1931,
continuation of the one per cent
reduction in taxes on incomes
made for the calendar year 1929
seemed improbable today, al
though the treasury will complete
the 1930 fiscal year with a sur
plus.
The one per cent reduction on
all normal and corporation in
comes was granted by congress at
the recommendation of Secretary
Mellon. He said the government
in the 1930 fiscal year ending
June 30 would have enough sur
plus to permit the cut. The de
crease falls in two fiscal years of
180,000,000 in each and reduced
estimated receipts by that
amount.
Growing income tax receipts
for the presest fiscal year were
expected to overcome the loss sus
tained through the lowered rates
but this situation was not 'expect
ed to continue in the next fiscal
year.
President Hoover in his budget
estimate in December Included
figures in which the treasury set
the surplus in revenue for the
1929 fiscal year at 1122,788,966.
Since that time the Spanish
war pension bill passed over the
president's veto has added about
175,000,000 to the government
expenditures for the coming
twelve months and the farm board
expenses are expected to be 1100,
000,000 more than the treasury
had estimated.

LONDON. June 10 (AP)
Dispatches from Sydney, Austra
lia, to the London Daily Herald
today reported the city was agi
tated by the kidnaping of a
newspaperman for reasons sim
ilar to those which led to the kill
ing of Alfred Lingle. Chicago
newspaperman, by gangsters.
Murray Hullett. reporter for
the Sydney "Truth" mysteriously
disappeared yesterday after leav
ing his office for home. Police
fear he was kidnaped by gang
sters and perhaps murdered be
cause of an article he wrote about
Sydney's gangs a fortnight ago.
CHICAGO. June 18. (AP)
Sinister rumors of Jake Lingle 's
gangland affiliations became a
matter of court record in crimin
al court today.
A gangster, on trial as a gun
toter, was quoted as protesting
to the detective who picked him
up that he "worked for Jake
Lingle," the Tribune reporter
who was killed in a subway nine
days ago.
The public clamor for action
had another answer In the city
council, which directed its police
committee to prosecute thorough
inquiry into the conduct of the
police department under Commis
sioner William F. Russell who
yielded to popular pressure Mon
day and resigned with John Stege,
chief of detectives.
Alderman Arthur F. Albert an
nounced he would launch the In
vestigation Thursday. Summon
ing his Acting Commissioner John
H. Alcock, and the department
records for inspection, Mayor
Thompson presided over the city
council but offered no nomin
ation for Russell's successor. Al
cock, the "iron man" of the force,
remained in command as ranking
deputy commissioner and Issued
orders that "golf playing cap
tains" would not be tolerated
but how long Alcock will be chief
the mayor refused to say.
Crime Blamed on
Liquor Traffic
The council passed another res
olution memorializing congress
to submit a national referendum
on the restoration of state rights
fn the control of liquor traffic.
The memorial Imputed to the pro
hibition laws 'the diversion of
"millions of dollars from the
treasury Into the pockets of
bootleggers, thus subsidizing
crime which has become a major
industry."
"These laws," it read, "have
undermined all respect for auth
ority, demoralizing the people
and have led to the destruction
of constitutional rights such as
freedom from unreasonable search
and seizure and the right of trial
by Jury."
The evidence linking Lingle to
the underworld was brought out
In the court room where "Red"
Kissane, reputed Capone hench
man, faced the jury trial he had
demanded on an indictment for
bearing a concealed revolver. De
tective William Drury, took the
stand to tell of arresting the
gangster on a downtown street,
searching him and finding the
weapon. He said be asked Kis
sane what Tie was doing in the
loop.
"I'm working for Jake Lingle,"
he quoted the gunman.

WALLA WALLA, Wash., June
18. (AP) Fire believed caused
by a hot bearing in machinery on
the second floor of the main
building completely destroyed the
Northern flour mill here late to
day. The loss, estimated at from
$200,000 to $225,000 by the own
ers, included 75,000 bushels of
wheat and 5000 barrels of flour
in addition to the plant. The loss
was fully covered by insurance.-
The blaze was one of the most
spectacular here in years. As the
flames leaped high into the air,
burning embers started numerous
grass fires at the western limits
of the city, but no other buildings
caught fire, although warehouses
at the United States Veterans'
hospital were threatened for a
time. All of Walla Walla's Are
fighting equipment was pressed
into service to fight the fires.
The mill was one of the largest
in this section of the country,
with a capacity of 600 barrels
dally, besides by-products. The
warehouses were large enough to
store 50 carloads of flour.

Serious Effect on French
. Exports Denied in
Communique
PARIS, June 8 (AP) Am
bassador Walter ;J3. Edge intro
duced today what was intended as
a calming note into the discus
sion of the new American tariff
schedule.
A communique' Issued at the
embassy said the hew rates, if ap
plied to the French exports to the
United States in 1328, would have
added only about 3.35 per cent
to the total duty and added that
"the revised American tariff sign
ed yesterday can Shave no serious
effect upon French exports to the
United States." i
The statement -said the figure
3.25 applied to more than 90 per
cent of the value of French sales
for 1928. and continued;
"On the other two per cent of
sales figures are not comparable
because of changes in classifica
tion or for other technical rea
sons. I
"As Is well known, by far the
greater part of- American purchas
es of French products is of qual
ity commodities, it would be In
deed a very small percentage of
American buyers who would de
sist from purchasing exclusive
French designs because of a small
possible increase of cost.
"In fact, the negligible Increase
could be readily absorbed in the
profits of the distributor.
"In considering tariff changes
It must be admitted that almost
every nation in the world la today
operating under the protective
system and the pendency every
where has been upward. How
ever, in this tariff revision the
American congress has taken the
opportunity to Include changes in
administrative regulations that
have in the past proven irritating

At Hospital; Driver
Is Arrested
Mickenham, Deprived of
License Previously, is
Held at Fault
Isaiah Hewitt, 76, of 754 J.ud
son street, is In a critical condi
tion at the Deaconess hospital as
a result of Injuries received when
he was struck by an automobile
driven by Ferdinand Mickenham

no right to be driving a car. is
alleged to have struck Hewitt,
dragged him about 40 feet, and
then crashed into a car driven by
Alva May Norman. 194 East 31st
street, Portland. A badly crushed
chest, and severe cuts and bruises
were suffered by Hewitt, but at
tendants late Wednesday reported
him as holding his own.

prevent further mishap. He is re
ported to have been involved in
several serious accidents since he
began operating his car.

Witness Claims
Miss Norman, who had brought
her car to a stop when the light

account of the'aecldeni; Bhe said
Hewitt, who was crossing the
street from Miller's department
store, was knocked down by Mich
enham, coming east on Court
street. Apparently considerably
frustrated by the accident. Mick
enham, was unable to stop his car.
and continued on into the Inter
section with Hewitt under his
coupe until he struck the Norman
ear. Then, she said, he began to
reverse his car, but witnesses
stopped him.
Mickenham is scheduled to ap
pear in Justice court this after
noon to answer the reckless driv
ing charge.
Hewitt is the father-in-law of
Billy New, one of the officers who

Legislation to Aid

Wagner Bills for Public Works Regulation Is
Approved by House Judiciary Group;
Other Proposals Made
VETERAN I BILL
COMING T
Passage Before Congress
Adjourns Favored as
Veto Feared
WASHINGTON, June 18. ( AP) Legislation to aid in
preventing; unemployment advanced another step today with
approval by the house judiciary committee of the Wagner
bill to provide for advance planning and regulation of pub
lic works.
The second of the three companion measures introduced
Oby Senator Wagner, democrat,
New York, which reached the, ju
diciary committee after passage
by the senate, was referred to a
sub-committee for further study.
This bill would establish employ
ment agencies under a federal aid
plan.
The third proposal, by which
an index of employment is sought
through collection of labor statis
tics, has been reported by the la
bor committee.
Chairman Graham said he
would apply for a epecial rule for
early consideration of the plan
ning measure.
The unemployment system bill,
the Pennpylvanlan said, requires
careful consideration in that it
"creates a new system" and
there was "a serious question" as
to the constitutionality of the leg
islation. The bill reported contemplates
the advance planning of federal
public works in times of business
depression. The New Yorker ar
gued before the committee that
the regulation of the $3,500,000,
000 spent annually for public
works, would be a tremendous
factor toward stabilizing employ
meat conditions.
At the White House today Wil
liam Green, president of the
American federation of labor, aft
er a conference with President
Hoover, said there was evidence
"that we are reaching a point of
improvement in employment con
ditions." The labor leader re
quested the president that the
census bureau's report on unem
ployment be expedited and made
public as soon as possible.
WASHINGTON. June 18.
(AP) The house bill to liberal
ity allowances for World war vet
erans was taken up by the senate
today with prospects for final ac
tion tomorrow despite failure of
leaders to get an agreement for
a vote.
Senator Smoot, republican.
Utah, chairman of the finance
committee which redrafted the
house measure, assailed the leg
islation after Senator Shortrldge,
republican, California, had called
it up and asked for prompt dis
position. Senator Copeland, democrat.
New York, demanded of Smoot
what he would do with those vet
erans who contracted diseases
during the war and were bedrid
den now. Smoot replied that ex
isting law provided for their hos,
pitalization. Fears of a pocket veto have
been expressed if congress ad
journs before the ten-day period
allowed for the president to con
sider legislation.
The American Legion has re
quested eongress to keep In ses
sion until the president has acted.
Smoot was beset by democratic
proponents as he undertook in an
hour address to analyse its pro
vision which he said amounted to
giving an award to veterans who
had acquired disease "as a result
of their own vicious habits."
The legislation carries many
liberalizing provisions Including
authorization for veterans to
claim service origin for diseases
that developed before last Janu
ary 1.
