AYiators Lost in Fog Believed
Dead

New York. Feb. 10 R1Faint
hope of success was entertained to-
day for the outcome OF search along
the New Jersey coastline for two
army aviators who disappeared in a
dense fog on Thursday.
Remnants Of their airplane found
in the surf led to fears that the
men were drowned. A fog that
blanketed the entire seaboard last
night forced suspension of rescue
efforts.
The aviators, Lieutenant William
a. Gray, IS, and Lieutenant Willard
j. Harris, 3S, vanished while en-
route from Mitchell Field to Lang
ley.
A wing of the machine, the land
ing gear and several struts were
found in the surf near Forked River
n. j. Army flying authorities were
Of the opinion that the pilot was
flying about 20 feet above the break
ers, which he was using as guide
when the plane crashed.
The aviators had been on a cross
country training trip. They had ar
rived at Mitchell Field from Boston
Wednesday,
Lieutenant Gray was born at
Chelsea, Mass, and was unmarried.
He was balloon supply officer of the
First Air Depot, A. E. F.
Last year he piloted the army
dirigible TC-5 through 36hour
wind storm in southern Ohio SINH
lar to that In which the Shenandoah
was destroyed in the same locality
year previous. Between May and
October 10, last, Lieutenant Gray
piloted the TC-5 on 1877 cross-coun-
try flights covering some 5000 miles
In sixty hours of flying time.
Lieutenant Harris was native
of Williamsport, Pa. and was un-
married. His mother Is Mrs. Anna
Mary Harris of Springfield, Ohio.
He enlisted as a private in the air
service in 1920 and was commission
cd a second lieutenant In 1925.

route OF the bus line and approX1-
mate hours OF running. The route
will begin just north Of the railroad
tracks at the Junction and will con-
tinue In a general northerly direc-
ton along Quaker Lane to the
Boulevard. From this point, the
regular route of the company, 20,
will be followed and the line will end
at the corner of Main and Gold
streets in the center Of Hartford.
This action on the part OF the
Connecticut company Is due to
petition circulated by interested resi-
dents of Newington Junction and

senting the petition and who have

AIRPLANE FLIGHT
 GUIDED BY RADIO
Perfect Reception From Landing
 Fields Reported

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 11.--LP- Successfully completing an experi- ment with radio beacons, Stout Ford three motored plane landed here last night,afte flight to Day. ton and return during which it was guided every foot of the route by directions received by radio.
 The flight was said to have been the first in the history of aviation, in which plane has been guided perfectly by radio from separate fields, with the messages being tabu- lated in coordination. It also mark the first use of the radio beacon for commercial aviation.
 The beacon is device by which flights are guided from the landing and starting fields by messages writ ten in radio dots and dashes on a chart in the cockpit of the plane. The pilot was kept punctiliously in- formed of his course by the Nfor- nation on his chart, the slightest deviation being registered.
 ". U. 4hdyo' GliieI cii6iHtcI oL lllc Ford Motor Company; William B. Stout, designer of the Stout-Ford plane and six other passengers made the flight, which they pronounced an unqualified success.
 "We not only received guidance constantly, but we also heard voices from McCook filed addressing us on conditions ahead. They gave us weather reports every 15 minutes" |" Mayo said.

he continued. This is contrary to sound economics and to common sense.
 "One effect will be the selling of staple products in foreign countries at lower prices than they are sold to our own citizens. This is ab- normal and repugnant
 Our textile mills will have to pay higher prices for raw cotton than foreign competitors will play. This will bean additional handicap to the domestic textile industry, Awhich normally is the greatest market for American cotton.
 Tt will tend to throw greater share of tn, worlds textile business to foreign competitors. This will re- duce the purchasing power of the American public, and thus go long :. toward defeating the purpose of the bill
 ''The McNary-Haugen bill at tempts to control prices without controlling production" he conclud- ed, and is, therefore, unavoidable. !"
 Roger B. Corbett, federal agricul- tural economist for Rhode Island, expressed belief that the bill would mean higher costs for Rhode Island and consumers of food products
 The New England farmer" he said, lis large purchaser of grain and benefits given the grain raisers under the McNary-Haugen bill will react unfavorably for the New Eng land farmer. Higher. prices for fertilizers may be another unfavora- ble effect of the bill upon the New England farmer"
 The bill. he believed, would not prove economically wise.
 Meanwhile, another day of debate on the measure was promised in the house, which expects to reach a vote some time next week.
 As plans went ahead for pre-roll call debate in the senate, confer ences were continuing in an effort to smooth out differences said to have arisen at conference last night in the office of Vice President Dawes as to whether the bill's equalization fee to control basic crop surpluses should be withheld from cotton for two years.
 Prior to this confrence, Chairman McNary of the agriculture committee co-author of the measure, had an- nounced that an agreement had

DRASTIC PROPOSAL
 FROM WATER DEPT.
Would Shut Of Supply if Meters
 Are Inaccessible

Owners of dwellings and other buildings within the limits of the city of New Britain will be obliged to locate water meters in open eel lars. accessible to inspectors from 8 a. m. to p. m. daily. or suffer the loss of water service, if an ordinance recommended by the ordinance con- mittee, becomes effective. It is one of the most drastic laws recommend ed in long time and may meet with opposition in the council because of the severity of the penalty for viola ton.
 The building commission recom- mended the ordinance. without men, tioning a penalty. Clerk Frank J. O'Brien of the board of water com missioners was called into the ordi- nance committee meeting to explain the viewpoint of the water depart ment, and he proposed that the ordinance, if favored, be made re- troactive if possible. At the com mittee meeting. no mention of a penalty was made, but when the ordinance came to the city clerks office yesterday it was found to give the water department authority to shut off the water service in build ings not conforming to the require ments of the regulation.
 To make the ordinance retroac- tive. provision is included to allow one year for owners of buildings not conforming to the requirements to do so. The ordinance was prepared in the corporation counsels office and will be acted on at the meeting of the common council next We'd nesday evening. It includes electric meters but no penalty for violations with respect to this part of the ordi- nance Is mentioned, because the city does not supply the electricity.

NEW ENGLAND IS
 AGAINST MEASURE
Textile Interests Oppose Farm
 Relief Bill

Boston, Feb. Il (UP)-New Eng land textile interests have registered vigorous opposition to the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill on the ground that it's passage would have a decidedly adverse effect on the in- dustry.
 Following closely the condemna- tion of the measure by the Rhode Island Textile association, the Na- tional Association of Cotton Manu- lecturers last night sent telegrams to United States senators, declaring that adoption of the bill would necessitate further tariff changes or loss of the cotton textile industry which employed 50,000 and indirect ly provided employment for 3,000,- 900 persons.
 Today, President Andrew J. Peters of the Boston Chamber of Con- merce wired Senators Frederick H. Gillett and David I. Walsh of Massa- chusetts, taking a similarly vigorous stand against the farm relief bill.
 Its passage can result only in high cost of clothing, yarn, tires and many other articles to the consumer and will further increase the differ ence in the cost of manufacturing in this country and abroad" the Ma tional associations message said. Its passage would necessitate fur the tariff changes or loss of the cot ton textile industry employing 500,- GOO people directly and S,000,000 in directly"
 In his telegram, President Peters said the measure aimed ito benefit people raising wheat, corn, rice. swine and cotton by increasing the cost of living of every person not di- rectly engaged in those enterprises, '"
 Tt undertakes to establish and maintain artiicially high prices of these products regardless of supply"

 This agreement apparently was nulified later, however at the Dawes conference, which a number of western and southern senators at tended, and which broke up with a solution of the cotton problem still in doubt.
