GERMAN FLYERS
ESTABLISH NEW
ENDURANCE MARK
Break Old Record Made
By Chamberlin and
Ac0Sta.

DESSAU, Germany, Aug. 5.-The
airplane endurance record held by
Clarence D. Cham berlin and Pert
Acosta, was broken. today by the
German aviators Risticz and Ed
zard in a Junhers plane.
When they landed at 1913 A. N.
they had been in the air so hours
and 25 minutes, almost an hour and
II quarter longer than the American
flyers.
The plane met all tests, said
statement by the Junkers company,
the builders, and has proved its abb
lily to fly across the Atlantic ocean.
The flyers landed amidst scenes
of tremendous enthusiasm. The
Lord Mayor and other notables
scarcely had spoken their congratul-
atoms to the airmen when the crowd
seized their idols and lifted them
shoulder high.
All parts Of Germany contributed
today to the deluge of congratulate
ions which began reaching the air
drome soon after the flyers alighted.
Chamberlin and Acosta were in
the air 81 hours and IL minutes.
They began their flight on April Is
and came down two days later.
Their course was lower Long Island.
Their plane was the Bellanca mono
plane Columbia in which Chamber
lin and Charles A. Levine shortly
thereafter flew to Germany, estab-
fishing a new distance record.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Clarence
D. Chamberlin, transatlantic avi-
ator, announced today he would at
tempt to recapture the airplane en-
durance record set by him and Bert
Acosta and which was broken to-
day by two German flyers.

RAPID CITY, s. D., Aug 5. =
Four years in the White House will
test the physical endurance of a
heavyweight champion and Presi-
dent Coolidge is beginning to show
signs of the strain.
The job which broke Warren G.
Harding and Woodrow Wilson has
furrowed lines under Mr. Coolidge s
eyes and finally robbed him of his
phlegmatie disposition Anyone
who was with him through the day
yesterday on trip to Deadwood
could discern through palor of his
smile an indication Of the relief
which his remuneration of the
throne of the Republican party has
brought to him.
He is not sick, but he is tired
and he will be glad when March 4,
1929 will bring him rest. His color
is not good and his general appear
ance as compared with few
months ago, indicates he has had
some sleepless nights.
If anyone thinks he did not mean
what he said when he announced
~ do not choose to run for presi-
dent in 1925" he need but look at
Mr.. Coolidge. Very naturally his
personal physician, DR., James F,
Coupal, an able surgeon, says Mr..
Coolidge's health is fine. He
knows the president is nowhere
near a breakdown and that he is
not sick man.
But to even casual observer,
Mr.. Coolidge's personal appearance
is noticeably altered. He has be-
trayed signs of impotence such as
when he, without apparent cause,
dismissed secret service man re-
Gently and when he argued with
Mrs. Coolidge before newspapermen
and photographers later. He has at
times terminated conversations with
newspapermen and others abruptly.
Mr.. Coolidge takes scrupulous
care of himself. He goes to bed
early and arises early. He is care
full about what he eats. He smokes
only few cigars a day

BRITISH FILMS
CONCERNED AT
OUR CENSORSHIP
By KEITH JONES
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

(Unlted Press stair CorreSpondenJ)
LONDON. Aug. 5.-British film
producers. with visions of an early
conversion of the Wembly Exhibit
ion ground into a second Hollywood
are confronted with the problem Of
what to do about American censor
ship.
The question was preeipitated
with the announcement of the dir
cctor of the Fox film corporation
that he had decided not to film
Michael Arlen s ''Green Hat to
which the company had already OBJ
tanned the film rights. He felt Ger
tain that American censors would
bar it from the United States.
The producers realize that the
sex realism of Arlen's play is tame
compared with GRAIN "Fanat-
les, Garden of Eden" and 1.-The
Constant Nymph, - the productions
of which are under construction or
actually under way.
The success of these plays on the
stage, it is pointed out, is contin-
SCil Oh the IcdliSii VI tHc ScA
scenes. Therefore, the producers
argue, it would be impossible to de-
lCte the sex scenes without endang-
ering the artistic-to say nothing
of box office-success of any one
of the films.
1.-The decision of the Fox COM
pany directors" said Basil Dean,
Who is directing the filming OF
1.-The Constant Nymph," will not

closely to the stage presentation of

ecrned with what they want and do
not want in America.
Are they afraid he said as a
parting shot, THAT The Constant

However, the British Hollywood
will have to keep an eye out for
British censors as well as American.
British censorship prohibits Theme

CHICAGO, Aug 5-An injunction

DEFENSE
TO KEEP
Up FIGHT
SaccO-Vanzetti Counsel
Claim New Evidence Is
Available.
TO SEEK REPRIEVE
Case May Be Taken Into
Federal Court If Plea
For Rehearing Refused
BY HENRY MINOTT
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

BOSTON, Aug with only five
court days left before the date Of
execution, defense counsel in the
Sacco-V anzetti case today planned
swift legal action to offset Govern
or Fuller's refusal of clemeney in
last effort to save the condemned
men from the electric chair.
Arthur d. Hill, newly appointed
chief defense counsel, prepared to
90 before the Norfolk county court
at Dedham and ask that the SEN
tence Of death and the verdict of
guilty be set aside on the ground
that new evidence was available.
The new evidence includes affi-
davits alleging prejudice of state 8
witnesses.
Failing in that move, as the de-
Tense committee fears he will, Hill
will switch to the federal courts for
the first time during the seven year
legal fight and try to obtain from
Federal Judge George w. Anderson
a writ of habeas corpus.
If that too fails only the United
States supreme court stands be-
tween the condemned men and tho
chair in which, unless the unusual
happens, they will die shortly after
midnight next Wednesday.
