Gets Away to Good Start
MITCHELL FIELD, N. Y, June
23.-Lieutenant Russell L. Maugh-
an, army flier, hoped off in his
single seated pursuit plane at 1853
o'clock, daylight saving time, this
morning in his attempt to make
dawn-to-dusk flight to San Fran
cisco.
It was the flier's third attempt
within year to out-speed the sun
across the continent. Vaughan ex-
poets to make the 2,670-mile trip to
the coast in 17l hours, reaching
San Francisco at GAL o'clock to-
night standard time).
A star studded sky with but a
slight haze around the moon, re-
warded Maughan's three-day wait
for favorable weather. A light
wind from the vest with no sign
Of fog was reported from observa-
tons taken an hour before the
flight.
Vaughan will make four stops for
refueling-at Dayton, Ohio; st. Jo-
seph, Mo-; Cheyenne, Wyo., and Sal
duro, Utah. The lieutenant plans
to average 16S miles an hour.
Friends See Him Off.
A small group Of friends and
army officials surrounded Vaughan
as he strapped on mis- parachute
seat. After a personal inspection
OF the plane, he stepped casually
into the cockpit.
Lieutenant Edwin johnson, his
side-kick shouted, Don't forget,
RUSSELL" to get back for the air
circus, on the fourth Of July.I
Il WILL" Vaughan replied, with
Q quiet smile.
The motor roared and with a
wave Of his hand, Vaughan sped
down the field. A few seconds
later the blue and yellow flashes
from his exhaust marked him
streaming across the sky, headed
West.
The flight is to attempt to prove
the air force can be modified on
either coast within a day, and is
under the direction Of Major General
Mason M. Patrick, chief Of the
army cir service.
Maughan won the Pulitzer race
In 1922, at Detroit. He IL thirty
one years old. His home is in
Hober City, Utah., and his wife
and two children plan to meet him
at his stop in Saludro.
Flight No "Stunt."
Vaughan issued a statement be-
fore the flight deploring the fact
people looked upon the veatMgO a.
nothing more than a stunt"
'It is an attempt to, show the
people Of the United States the ne
cessity for keeping the air service
equipment up to date" he said.
Army fliers, he declared, given
modern equipment, can BIZ modified
anywhere in the land within a few
hours in the event Of possible en-.
envy attack.
Vaughan carried q copy Of every
New York morning paper, which he
hoped to deliver to Mayor Rolph.

in about thirty-three minutes.
Indications were that Vaughan
would continue to pursue almost the
same course that he followed on
his previous unsuccessful attempts
to reach the west coast before dark
on his way to st. Joseph, Mo.
He passed Tuscola, Ill, at $40
a. m, central standard time, and
was headed straight for Springfield,
according to telegraphed reports
reaching here.
He passed Hammond, ILL.,, at S:46.

DAYTON, Ohio, June 2S.-
When lieutenant Russell L.
Vaughan arrived at McCook
Field this morning shortly after
z o'clock on his cross-continent
flight, mechanics found a leaking
gasoline line.
The break is said to be minor
trouble and will necessitate a
brief delay in the schedule.
Vaughan tore into the field at
a terrific rate of speed. His ar
rival was much earlier than was
expected and the ground me-
chanics were not ready for him,
but they swarmed out Of the
hangar and began making repairs.
Confident Of Success.
While mechanics were making re-
pairs to his pursuit plane, Vaughan
looked on and chatted with friends
and acquaintance.
He chafed at the delay but said
he was confident he could make
up the lost time and arrive at st.
Joseph on time.
During the time he waited Maui

After his plane was pronounced
o. K, Vaughan clambered' into the
cockpit and took off at S:15 Eastern
standard time for st. Joseph, Mo-.

flight.

Comptroller Dispenses Cheerful
News-To Improve Plant

Birmingham's income is in healthy

ing to a report submitted the city
commission by City Comptroller G. e.
Armstrong at conference Wednesday.
Notable in the items enumerated was
an unlocked for $4,000 from the wa
ter and electric plants in North Bir-
mingham. Commissioner w. i. Har-
rison had estimated $4,000 increase
for the first six months, but actual fig
ures showed n gain of $4,000 from
the water works and $4,000 from the
electric light plant.a Asa.
The board at once on receipt OF this
report made available to Commissioners
Harrison the $4,000 he has requested
for extensions of the service of the
two plants to new customers.
Mr.. Harrison said the money will
be used in extending branch service
from the water and electric mains and

WEATHER TOO COOL
FOR TERMINATION
Cotton Hampered Somewhat,
But Corn Makes Progress

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Crop

day were summarized today by the ed
partment of agriculture.
Temperatures were too low for best
termination of cotton in the eastern
portion ofAhe belt, but were moderate
in most other sections. while less rain
fall in the southeast was favorable.
Planting progressed well and has been
extended to the northern portions of
the belt in all sections. The cool, wet
weather at the close of the week in the
northwestern portion of the belt was
unfavorable.
Early corn was favorably effected by
the weather in southern states except
for cool nights in the south Atlantic
states.
Potatoes did well in the southeast,
although growth was rather slow in
Georgia. ~ t
Conditions continued generally favor
able for fruit in all eastern sections of
the country.
Conditions by states include:
Alabama Cotton planting general
under favorable conditions; nearly fin
ished in some sections in south and good
progress in north. Coming up to mostly
good stands in south, though bad locally
and chopping beginning. Corn plant
ing made good progress, growing WE'LL.
Oats and potatoes mostly doing well.
Transplant sweet patatoes beginning
south. Growth and condition of truck
and pastures good. Fruits made mostly
good progress, though satsumas slow.

REDISCOUNT RATE
CUT TO A PER CENT
Wide Influence Expected From
Federal Reserve Bank Action

NEW YORK, April 3O.-A reduc-
ton in the rediscount rate of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York from
"A to A per cent was ordered by the
directors today. The change, which will
become effective tomorrow, marks the
first action on the rate since FEBRUARY
%, 1923, when an increase from 4
per cent was made, and is expected
TO have widespread influence on
money market and trade conditions.
Although no official reasons we're adj
vanced for the cut.>th action is in line
with the boards policy of aligning the
rediscount rate as closely as possible
with current money quotations Be
cause of the recent ease in both call
and time funds, local banks have
brought pressure to bear on the re-
serve bank for lower rate on the
plea that it was necessary for n sat
isfactory margin of profit. Political
pressure also was inferred by appeals
from many sections for "cheap money"
Approval of the federal reserve board
and of a large number of bankers in
the second reserve district was obtain
ed before the action was taken, it was
announced.

With exception of Penn-Alex Fuel and

in the active issues were held to frac-
tions. Lago Petroleum again was the
most active stock on the list, closing
at fractional gain. 30
