Another Italian, Captain fia belli, good 'fighter in the war, expects to start from New York to Home in a few days in a Bel lanea plane. - And the French start a flight ! westward from Brest to the Statue of Liberty, by way of the Azores, within two weeks. The important air news is Lindbergh's appointment as chief adviser of the air-rail oonpany to carry passengers eross the continent -in Pull mans at night, airplanes by day, in 48 hours. That Lindbergh deal is n IriHmph for General Atterbury, head of the Pennsyl vania railroad, who visited Henry Ford at Dearborn last Friday. President Coolidgo vetoes the McNary-Haugen bill, pronounc ing it UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The President says it would aid foreign competitors of our farmers, instead of solving our own farm problems, stimulate profiteering and call for a new gigantic bureaucracy. - That probably ends the bill for' this session, leaving one p . v . 4 t ::.u : 1, worry tor wiu iikal i ruriiiu-iu, r ,.

Secretary Work also made a speech, as did 12 of the representatives. Hoover munagem attach great significance to the attendance of 111 members of the Pennsylvania Iiouse , group. Illness and other engagements prevented flvo others from being present.
