(U.R) An amendment to tho initiative petition law which would make im possible the theft of certified peti tions will be urged on the 1933 leg islature by Donald J. Ryan, county clerk of Clackamas - county. Ryan told the United Press today. Ryan will propose that the law be amended so that county clerks will retain all petitions, and will trans port tnem to the secretary of state, after the names are checked, in stead of returning them to their sponsors, as under the present ma chinery of the law. "Under that system," Ryan said, "as soon as there are sufficient sig natures filed, the secretary of state could so inform the sponsors and petition circulation would cease. "Also, if the county clerks keep the petitions and transmit them to the secretary of state direct, we won't have any more of these safe i rohberie .' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE IV that city is a matter of less than an hour and when they did not appear at Tempelhot within that time, those who awaited them at the field, in cluding United States Ambassador Sackett, began to worry. Meet Bad Weather It developed, however, that there was some bad weather between here and Hanover and the globe girdlers had been obliged to go. out of their way. The Mattern-Griffin ship was the first flown by Americans to rench Berlin on a nonstop flight from the western hemisphere, and officials at Tempclhof airdrome took note of the extraordinary occasion by raising the Stars and Stripes aa the "Century of Progress" taxied across the field. U. S. Anthem Played A band played the Star Spangled Banner. The crowd on hand was not very large because the time of the landing generally was unknown and an inter mediate stop had been expected. Ambassador Frederick M. Sackett, who had come to the field when in formed the fliers bad been sighted at Hanover, had left 15 minutes be fore the landing. Mattern paid they would take off again for Mos6ow before night un les the weather made it inadvisable. Not a Bit Tired "Tired ?" he said. "Not a bit. We've got double controls And we stood regulnr watches. While I was work ing Griff slept, and when he took over, I curled up. "It was 10 hour and RO minutes on the dot after we left Harbor Grace that wa sighted land. We kept on and from there I guess that was Ireland we got to Berlin in 17 hours. 40 minutes flying time alto gether. "We'd have got here 'sooner, ob, hours sooner, out we missed the town and veered off to the north. Griff spotted the name on a little railroad station and we turned around and come south again." Fiy Blind Over Sea ''For all we saw there mieht not have been any ocean at all. We were flying blind in fog and believe It or not. our altitude ran from 0 inches to 10.000 feet. "Well, we went south to Scotland and then we hit the North sea. Just where we struck the continent of Eu rope, 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 the fliers. To their amazement the Americans wav ed it aside. Ask for Agua Pura "What we want," said Griffin, "is a good long drink of water. That beer looks good but it might not set so well. t e haven't had anything but or anges since we left New York." But they both looked fine behind their wide grins as the welcome be came a small ovation. Hermann Koehl, who took the air plane Bremen across to Greenley is land a couple of years ago, greeted his friend Mattern, whom he had met in Detroit.
