Boston, Aug. 1s.-'rhe army fiers will break their jump from Pictou.
 N.. $. to this city by stop at St. John. N. E., if they follow the sugges- i tions of Major General Mason M
 Patrick, chief of air service. As a means of easing the task on the men and the machines, General Patrick today directed that another landing base be established at St. John, and directed Major H. A. Dargue to leave here and put it in shape. This change in the original itinerary will have the effect also of minimizing the danger and delay due to fog.
 When the flyers set to Pictou, they would face a jump of more than 500 miles on a direct flight here. Under the new arrangement that will be suggested to Lieutenant Lowell Ii. Smith, the head of the world -girdling expedition, they will fly 200 miles 10 St. John. and then come here on a hop of 300 miles, The latter will take them down the Maine coast, fly ing over summer colonies, instead of across the waters of the Gulf of Maine, '

CLASSIC Y|NG FIGHT
PUT BEFORE COURT
Former Clerk Sues u. S. for
Alleged Pay Difference Due
Under Act.

Loren II. Wittner, formerly an
auditing clerk in the military divi-
sion OF the genera accounting office,
today filed in the Court of Claims a
suit against the Government for 500,
alleged to be the difference between
the pay he actually received in that
position and what he should have
received under n proper ALLEGATION of
his position under classification.
SO far as known this is the first
action of its kind taken since the
classification act went into effect.
Mr.. Wittner's suit thus takes to an
other court the question of alloca-
tions under the classification act,
which has been disputed by clerks
in the general accounting office in a
mandamus suit pending before the
Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia and which has been set for
hearing tomorrow.
In his claim for 500 Mr.. Wittner
charges that the controller general
had allocated him to a position in
grade of the clerical and fiscal serv-
ice, in which the salary would have
been $3.50 a year, but that the Per
sonnel Classification Board reallocated
his position to one paying less sal
airy. Mr.. Wittner charges that the
board made the reallocations ''by rea-
son OIL tne Cnen rate OF compensation
of the incumbents or the positions,
disregarding the duties and response
bilities of the positions" The 500
is difference in pay for the period
from July l to September 16, 1924
In tho suit before Justice Stafford
Of the District Supreme Court, which
is to be heard tomorrow, several
clerks In the general accounting office,
where Wittner was formerly en-
ployed before resigning to enter po-
ittcal work during the campaign,
have filed mandamus proceedings 10
compel the Classification Board to
place all the clerks doing similar
work in grade s.
