Under the rules governing the re-
cent presidential preference primary,
the successful candidate will name
the delegates to the state convention
from the counties that went for Sem
alor Oscar w. Underwood. as well
as those from counties that were car
ried by William G. McAdoo, and the
lists will be made public in a few
days, it was announced Saturday by
Miller S. Bell, manager of the Nc
Adoo campaign Headquarters.
The impression prevails in some
quarters that the counties carried by
Senator Underwood will send Under
wood delegates to the state conven-
ton in Atlanta on April %, but this
is q mistaken idea, according to Mr..
Bell.
The Democratic state, executive
committee will meet in Atlanta early
in April to complete arrangements
for the convention and declare the
official result of the primary, it was
announced. There will be 412 dele
gates in the convention, or two for
a:h member of the Georgia house
of representatives, and an equal
number of alternates. Fulton and
Dekalb counties will each have six
delegates and six alternates.
The statement issued by Mr. Bell
follows:
"The rules Of the Democratic state
executive committee provide that the
successful candidate in the presiden-
tial primary shall name the delegates
to the state convention, both in the
counties he carried and in those he
did not carry. The rules further pro
vide that the state convention shah
be held in Atlanta on Wednesday,,
April %.
"Tae McAdoo state campaign COM
mittee are now engaged, on behalf
of Mr.. McAdoo, in making up the
list of delegates and alternates from
the several counties. This list will
be given the press in the next few
DAYS"

FLYERS ARE READY
FOR HAZARDOUS HOP

SEATTLE, Wash, March o.
Four planes will rise from Lake
Washington on March 80, and wing
northward high over the Rocky
inlets OF the North Pacific coast.
1t will be the start of the most
hazardous. portion of the flight of
four United States army planes
around the world, course that will
take them above the curving col
umn of the Aleutian Islands to the
l<uriles. and from there on across
the shores of Asia.
Major Frederick l., Martin, flight
commander, announced today that
the planes will be in readiness to
start with the sun a week from
tomorrow, earlier than expected, and
that the revised schedule will bring
them to the end Of their flight fiji
teen days earlier than expected.
Major Martin expects that this
fleet will make Prince Rupert, B. c.,
$50 miles distant, in one hop, then
to Sitka and from Sitka on in a
series of flights to Attu on the west
erly tip of the Aleutians.
When tn planes rise from the
waters of Attn, they will leave the
western hemisphere and enter the
eastern, with a hop that takes them
across 500 miles of open ocean to
ParamuShira in the kurile Islands.
For ten hours the planes will be
out of sight of land, and if anything
happens it's just between God and
us If we ever are seen again" Ma
jor Martin said.
Tire navy has sent destroyers to
patrol those waters TO give practical
aid to providence in event of acct
dent to the big Douglas air cruisers.

Portable feeling to know that those
destroyers are down below us,
Major Martin said today Then, on
the other side, there will be some
