1 SAN FRANCISCO, June 18-flPj
-A big Soviet airplane sped three
Russian aviators across the North
polar wastes tonight on a daring
attempt to fly nonstop the 1,000
miles from Moscow to Oakland,
Calif. ...
Conflicting Reports
Given Out
Uncertain Arctic weather, cen
sorship and - conflicting reports
veiled the exact whereabouts of
the' plane but it was believed fol
lowing a route which would take
it close by the North Pole, down
across central Canada to Edmon
ton, Alta., and straight for Oak
land, across the bay from here.
From Moscow, where strictest
secrecy surrounded the flight, the
Russian government announced
the project was under way 24
hours after the takeoff.
The official takeoff time was
given as 4:05 a. m., Moscow time
(8:05 p. m., Thursday, E. S. T.).
On the basis of the 9 p. m. po
sition reported by the Russian
embassy, the plane was about
halfway between Franx Josef
Land : d the pole, or 350 miles
from Ithe latter point.
Ahead lay "extremely difficult"
weather conditions, the embassy
reported, as well as "blind spots"
on international-maps, marking
unexplored area. '
Position Messages
Not Complete
Further difficulty In determin
ing the fliers' position resulted
from the fact they failed to speci
fy east or west longitude in the
infrequent position .reports which
were picked up by the United
States army radio station at An
chorage, Alaska.
Presumably to minimize pub
licity should the flight fail, as did
one predecessor., the soviet em
bassy brought vigorous diplomat
ic pressure to bear in suppressing
news of the flight.

hours after their takeoff,

Basques fortified themselves
behind '-cobblestone barricades and
planted mines in the city for
their "last stand" against the in
vaders. ,
Advices received in Hendaye,
on- the Franco-Spanish border,
placed Basque losses in a week of
furious fighting at 20,000 killed,
wounded, captured and deserted.
Basque government officials.

ported to have established them
selves at Trucios, some 20. miles
west of Bilbao. A defense junta
remained In the capital to direct
fighting. ,
Insurgents closed an avenue, of
escape for Bilbao refugees by cut

This in Itself makes possible a
considerable increase in the
plant's operations but does wot'
account for the proposed increase,
in water consumption, and is al
ready being utilized without any
change in water supply arrange
ments. It is recalled that' tbe company
had definite plans in 1931 for
enlargement of the plant, at the
time that the city government
vacated a portion of Trade street
west of Commercial at the com
pany's request. These plans were
dropped during the depression. At
present paper mills throughout
the country are running to full
capacity and are scarcely able to
keep up with their orders.
Price Suggested la
Declared Ridiculous
The proposal put to the Salem
water commission was that the
paper company would purchase
four or five million gallons of
water daily, or Would take all of
tho surplus water which under
present-conditions would exceed
that considerably. However the
price suggested in Mr. Teren'a
later, around 1 6 a million gal
lons, was declared by commission
officials to be "ridiculous" even
for: surplus, water which would
otherwise go to waste, since any
water sold, would have to be de
livered through the city's mains
and provision made for mains of
sufficient size.
It was pointed out that the low
est . cost under the city's present
schedule . for large quantities of
water would be 869 per million
gallons. Commission members in
