JfEDFORD MXir; TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON. FRTP'Y, SEPTFfRER 13, 1933. PJGE SEVEN E PILOTS PLANE TO NEW SPEED MARK Howard Hughes Breaks Frenchman's Record With Time. Around 350 M.P.H. Makes Forced Landing Grooms Wolfpack SANTA ANA. Clllf., Spt. 13. (AP) Howard Hughn,' mllllontr movie producer and filer, today established a new world'a speed record for land planes In a series of flights over a closed course near here. Officials of the National Aeronautlca association said that although Hughes' exact time had not been computed It was "around 360 miles an hour." Hughes made six attempts to break the world's record set by Ralmond Demotte of France at 314.319 mllea an hour. On the sixth attempt he ex hausted his gasoline supply while rocketing down the restricted three kilometer course. The red monoplane swerved off Its course and appeared to ground observers to have crashed. Paul Mantz. technical advisor for Amelia Earhart, transpacific flier, raced down over the course and saw Hughes step from his plane, unin jured. Hughes had made a forced landing In a bean field, two miles north of the Edward Martin ranch. "I was trying to put the plane if hit. t.he Ground when the lnndinir gear was about half down." Hughes said later. "My supply of gasoline apparently had been ex hausted, and when I tried to cut the other tank on the motor refused to take It." Hughes escaped from the plane, whlrh experienced a bent propellor, torn fuselage and broken landing gear, without a scratch. Joe Nlkrent, head timer of the N. A. A., said there was no doubt Hughes had established a new world's record. William Enyeart, Washington representative of the association, and H. W. Hickman, assistant timer, said Hughes had been clocked officially above the former speed mark. Hughes yesterday made an unoffi cial mark of 383 miles an hour In his $120,000 plane. He made four dashes along the closed course. Under N. A. A. rules a Pilot must better the exist ing record four consecutive times. Turtles Obstruct Work. COUNCrL BLUFFS, ta.

"In Louisiana absolute tyranny still retims," Mrs. Hammond said In e, statement. "The cruel, shackling law stilt stand upon the statute books and rorruptlonlsts are still In control, while in Wusnmgton Long Ism still lives In the fraudulent of John H. Overton to his seat in the senate of the United States." Allen Denounces foes To offcet the rapidly developing at tacks. Governor Allen, titular head of the organisation which Long had built into the most powerful machine In America, issued a formal statment bitterly denouncing "those who plot ted and Inspired" Long's death and declaring "principles cannot be anni hilated by murder." "The principles for which Senator Long stood will survive through the ages," Allen said. "They will be Im pervious to gunfire and gangster methods employed by those who hope to achieve political success through their destruction." Aa a crowd estimated at from 100. 000 to 200.000 looked on. Long waa burled in front of the capltol yester day afternoon. Aa Long's body was brought to the grave hundreds of the huge throng broke through police lines and rushed forward. There whs considerable con fusion before officers, aided by 100 men hastily deputized In the crowd, could push them back.
