Lady Astor Has Fun. Honor to the Mikado. By Arthur Brisbane (Copyright, 1927, by New York Evening Journal, inc.) George llnhlemnn anil Kcltlie Slinson, Americans, on Friday broke the world's rmUmuu'e record in the nir, flying with out stopping, fifty-throe lind one-hiilf boni s. The Freneh government "f fers a niillon f runes to any French flier that will win back sonic flying records formerly held by Freneh fliers. f A little encouragement from our government would make it impossible for any nation to compete with American flying. H The first flying machine was made here. Lindbergh was born here. Wc have the money and engineers. This ought to be the Hying nation. i This comes from Italy: "Ma ,ior de IWiiarili has establish- el a new world's air record, 318 :i-4 miles an hour." Will some naval gentlemen that call flying machines "only auxiliary," be good enough to tell what chance slow moving ships on the surface would have against a flock of airplanes teii h thnt cnooil 1 The biggest news of ihc day is Mussolini's open attack on the Pope and the Catholic, church. He issues an order hat "All organizations of Hal- . i . .. i . e ian youth must ie miner ihhuiml direction." In thirty days all religious or other non-fascist organizations for enrolling the young must disband. London says, The Italian king assert himself in defense of the Italian constitution or abdicate." Mussolini would take his job. 4 Great Pritain probably will Jallow women to vote at 21. as men do. Our intelligent con tribution to the House of Com mons, Lady Astor, of Virginia, amused herself while "votes for flappers" was discussed. fchc piinted out that the '.'Happiest flapper" has an in tellect above the average "cake eater," and referred to the op position as "numi rouses u ..,,.! nn.. iivks. " She should come hack and work in our own home Congress for a little while. The new law' will add 5,000, 000 enfraehisements to 5,000, 000 more women. Then 14,251V 000 women will vote against 12.250,1X10 men. That ought to help Hritnin.

(P) I Charles E. Huthes hag definitely ( declined to serve as temporary : chairman of iho republican nat- lonal convention at Kansas City, j William .M. Hutler, chairman of the j national committee, announced to jday. 1 The temporary chairman and I keynote speaker will be selected Tuesday. j Charles D. Hughes, vice chair man of the national committee said he hud informed Mr. Hughes that Chalrmun Butler and other party leaders were prepared to urge his selection as keynote speaker If assured that he would accept. Mr. Hughes declined, he said on the grounds that he had plunned a needed rest after his labors at the Pan-Anieiicnn conference at Havana. Chairman Hutler, Mr. Hilles, National Committeeman J. Henry Horaback of Connecticut and Col onel LaFayette 11. C.leason, con vention secretary, left today lor Kansas City to attend the meet-! Ing tomorrow of the convention ar- j rangements committee. They said f they expected the keynote speak-1 er to be named and all major j plans tor me convention to ue j completed by Tuesday night. t a am vrvrnM Mo 1 op inio an already unsettled political situation the unexpected death ol Senator Willis of Ohio, uu avowed j I republican presidential candidate, I hus injected a new element of tin-1 I certainty. Its effect for the mom-1 ent cannot be determined, although i admittedly it will have a direct I bearing on the candidacy ot uer-1 bert Hoover. It Is possible even that the pass- j ing of the Ohio senator uom tue lUflllldll iviin: timj ..tw....- " . tor in tne contest tor me ueiuu cratlc presidential nomination. This would be true, however, only it llovernor Dolianey appoint ed Allee I'omerene to the senate a step that appeals improbuble. At Houston. Pomerene will receive the "favorite son" votes of the Ohio delegation. The deatli of Willis came just as the rival campaign managers in both the republican and demo tlieir i i rraHr. camos were getting drives for convention delegates well under way, with the eyes of the republicans turned chiefly to ward Ohio and the democrats awaitln.-? the outcome of the Reed Walsh Smllli fight in the Wlscon- sin primaries next Tuesday. . . ti u ni.lv J"6,..6"" 1 one-tutu ot me le-u.. e-i' .nnvontlnn delegates chosen.

Some observ ers predicted It might stiffen the Hoover opposition; others were of 1 the opinion that II would strenstn- en the cabinet officer's hand. I On one point there seemed to be general agreement the removal nt Willis has robbed the Hoover faction of the psychological ef-1 feet of any victory it might gain I In Ohio. For that reason, tnere 1 Is now a tendency to consider Indiana as tire barometer state. The republican primaries there are on May s. with Hoover pitted against tho resourceful Senator Watson.

It is really painful for him to sit down. Gene's parents think he had it coming, for he created somewhat of a flurry in the city. -Bluffing his way through the railroad station gates and onto a train with the finest accommodations, he traveled many miles before it was dis covered he was a stowaway. Complete self-assurance convinced trainmen that he was a legitimate traveler. Then he was put off. Meanwhile a frantic family and a worried police department had been combing Los Angeles in search of him. Gene's reception home was ill-befitting the role of wealthy gentleman traveler he had been playing. So now he's taking his meals standing.

QTM AMT Former Secretary In Oil Scandal, Matches Mind With Former Senate Foe Physicians Fear Re- 1 r r- :i i iciJoe riuiu LAuuemeni No Money For Oil Lease. EL PASO, Tex.. Mar. 31. UP, (Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the Interior, charged with hav ing conspired with Harry P. Sin clair to defraud the government in giving Sinclair a lease to the Teapot Dome oil resnrve, today finished telling his story ot the lense, to be used In Sinclair's de fense ut his trial in Washington next week. Weakened from a long Illness which prevented him going to Washington and standing trial with Sinclair, the former cabinet officer had been on the witness stuud more than twelve hours when Daniel Thew Wright, taking the deposition for Sinclair, turn ed him over to Atlee Pomerene, special government prosecutor for cross-examination. Fall was able tto go through last night's Besslon i ami again today only through the administration of heart stimulants by ms physician It was at the night session that the former foes, who had matched wits on the senate floor years ago, met again, this time across a library table In the spacious home of Mrs. Fall. Fall, looking forward to (he cross-examination by his former democratic l'oe on the floor ot the senate, was enlivened by his an- across the witness table sne oe- lleved to be one reason why ho bad held iid so well during the gruelling three days of testifying. Fall, during his testimony, con tended that he did not receive a penny from Sinclair for the oil i lenso, that In fact Sinclair at one I Juncture of the negotiations toBsen the lense back: to him and that tho denl for the Interest In tho land eomnanv was not started un- i til nftor tho signing of the Tea pot UUiuu inn... Odds and ends of the oil and ranch deal were covered In Fall's final dlroct examination before Pomerene plungod into his cross examination. The government charges that Fall favored Sinclair with information regarding the policy of leasing Teapot Dome, that other possible bidders were dls- couraged and that the then sec retary ot tne interior njtoiicu honda in exchange for the lease. Pomerene would not venture a prediction ns to how long the cross oxnmlnntlon -would take or whether Fall would be able to continue his cross-testimony for any length of time. Fall's condition Is causing his physician some concern as he foels that when the excitement of telling his story of the lease for the first time is ended there may be a startling let-down In Falls' physical condition. ...
