HINTON TELLS
ABOUT FARRELL
Says Oldest Member of Balloon
Party Sank Frequently
from Exhaustion.
TOOK HIS KNIFE AWAY
Hinton Declines to Quote Far
rell's Words, Saying He
Might be "Unfair."
(sy Associates Press.)

ROCKAWlAY, n. Y, Jan. 1.-two
of the three balloonists who were lost
four days in frozen Canadian wilds
after their recent flight portrayed
their sufferings from cold, hunger and
worry today before the naval court of
inquiry investigating the trip. One
of them, Lieutenant Walter Hinton,
pictured the intense suffering of the
eldest of the trio-Lieutenant Far
rell-saying' Farrell sank frequently
from exhaustion, tainted and at one
time after making remarks which Hin
ton told the court it would be ''un-
fair to quote, the younger officers
conferred on the advisability of TAX
ing a knife away from him.
Farrell Was Very III.
Lieutenant Hinton did not make
clear whether Lieutenant Farrell had
begged his companions to cut his
throat, use his body for food and press
on as the former had stated in a let
ter to Mrs. Hinton-statements of
which led to the fist fight between the
two airmen at Mattice. He briefly
discussed this alteration and said he
did not consider Farrell responsible
for what he did or said due to his
overwrought nerves and condition.
kloor Kept Up Spirits
Lieutenant Farrell did not testify
as he was still Ill, but the air station
medical officers said he probably
would be able to appear tomorrow.
Hinton told the court of an instance
showing the spirit of sacrifice shown
by Lieutenant Kloor the 23-year old
balloonist who commanded the party.
On the morning of the second days
tramp they prepared TO eat their first
carrier pigeon he said, and it was de-
cided after broiling the bird that Hin
ton and Farrell would divide the
breast, leaving the rest TO Kloor. The
"kid" complained that he was get
ting more than his share and gave a
wing to each of his companions.

HOUSE DECIDES
AGAINST CHANGE
ReappOrtiOnment Bill Passed
With Representation Limited
to Present Size.
ELEVEN STATES TO LOSE
House of Representatives Gets
in Mix-Up Over Parliamen-
&. tary Procedure.
(By Associated press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-At the end
of the most turbulent session of the
present congress, the house late today
adopted the reapportionment bill with an
| amendment limiting its membership for
the next 10 years to the present total
OF ABS.
The fight to prevent increase to 4S3
was won several hours earlier, however,
when the house sitting in com.n;ttee of
the whole, refused TO postpone cons:dera-
tion of the whoe question of redistrict-
ing, and then voted, i53 to "a, to keep
the present maximum. 1t was after
long parliamentary wrangling that the
bill was brought before the house itself
for a final showdown. The 435 amend
ment finally was agreed to by a vote of
267 to &c. and the measure made ready
for senate conference.
Fight Starts Early.
Right at the start the effort was made
literally to knock the bill in the head hy
striking out the enacting clause. 1t
started veritable row during which
the house got it's feet tangled in par
liamentary proceedings from which it
was lifted back into an orderly rut with
difficulty.
After deciding TO go ahead with the
measure, Representative Barbour, Re-
publican. California, member gof Z the
census committee which reported it,
managed to make himself heard above
the din by proposing the 435 maximum
amendment, around which the battle was
waged. Other amendments were offered,
one to cut the membership to 307 and
another to raise it to 460. Both were
voted down in roar of noes
Tinkham Out of Order.
After the real fight had been settled,
Representative Tinkham, Republican,
Massachusetts, came up with proposal
to reduce house seats in states where
negroes are denied the right of fran
chise and the battle started afresh.
Representative Longworth, Republican,
Ohio, raised a point of order against
the Tinkham amendment and after near
ly two hours of debate, the point was
sustained.
Another wrangle developed over an
amendment by Representative Barbour
to perfect the bill by providing the ma
which will lose seats after March A.
1928 The Barbour plan and many sub
stitutes were finally defeated and the
several states will be left to work out
the problem in accordance with long-es-
tablished custom and law.
States Which Lose.
AS the bill stands, the states which will
lose representation in the house are:
Missouri, two seats, and Indiana, Kan
sas, Kentucky Louisiana, Maine, Mis-
sissippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island and
Vermont, one each. These II seats will
be shifted to eight states in this order:
California three; Michigan, two; Ohio,
two: and Connecticut, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Texas and Washington
one each.
