President Coolidge Decides
Special Session viii
Be Called.
TAX CUTS SCHEDULED
Money Bill, Election Con-
tests, Flood and Farm
Relief on Program.
BIZ Tnlted Preaa

BIZ lnned Press
WASHINGTON. June 8.-Presi-
dent Coolidge will call an extra
session of Congress oct. or IS,
Senator Snoot chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, an
nounced today after a visit at the
White House.
The necessity for action upon de-
ficiency appropriation bills, tax re-
duction, election contests and Mis-
sissippi flood rehabilitation legisla-
ton and farm relief has caused the
decision, Smoot said.
The first business will be the de-
f1ciency appropriation bill, killed in
a filibuster at the closing moments
of the last session. This prevented
the Government from receiving
S40,0O0,00O of necessary appropri-
alton funds.
Election Fights Loom
The election contests of Senator
Elect Ware, Pennsylvania, and Sena-
tor-Elect Smith, Illinois, both Re-
publicans, also will have to be dis
posed of and are expected to lead
to considerable debate.
Smoot said his finance COM
mittee would meet in joint session
with the House Ways and Means
Committee in September, to frame
a new tax reduction bill for pres
entation to the House as soon as
the special session meets. Smoot
said he believed the bill would
carry $300,000,000 reduction.
Formal Call Waits
The call for the session will not
be- sent out by President Coolidge
for some time yet. Under the law
Coolidge can wait until three weeks
before the time of converting to
issue his call. The regular session
would open normally in December.

Indy DECLINES
Gift OF MONEY
Refuses Trust Fund for Self
and Mother.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh has declined
with thanks the offer of a trust
fund to be raised by popular sub
scription for himself and his
mother. The offer, honoring his
New York; Paris fight, was made by
private individuals through the War
Department, and cabled to Lind
bergh in London.
He wirelessed from the u. S. S.
Memphis to Secretary of War Davis,
declining the offer.
The homecoming Of Lindbergh
next Saturday will be the greatest
show on EARTH" with the sky as its
big top" and its rings" extending
far out to sea.
1t will be an outdoor circus for
this section, with the restrictions of
official etiquette lifted for Ameri-
cas- spontaneous greeting to her
boy flying hero. None can estimate
accurately the number who will take
part.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-08

Lindbergh was contract flyer,
and by the end of summer the
whole service will be operated by
contract. The Government built up
the system, proved its feasibility
and now turns it over to private en-
terprise bonded to carry on with no
let-up.
Most of the Governments pilots
will remain on their routes as con-
tract fliers.
Rapid expansion since the first
line was started between Washing
ton and New York in May, 1918, has
not been without its toll among the
pioneers.

Thirty-two pilots and eleven
other employees have been killed in
the service, but twenty of the pilots
crashed to death in the old days be-
fore 1923, when old De Haviland
planes had not yet been replaced by
the safer Douglas models.
Last year only two pilots were
killed and the service established
the astonishing record of 1,273,996
miles flown for each fatality.
This record was aided, however,

Clash Over Bids Cause of
Break in Majority at
Special Meeting.
MRS. SEDWICK BOLTS
Strife Stirred When Move Is
Made to Reject Lowest
Offer.
MRS. SEDWIcK BOLTS

Definite indications that the vot-
ing majority in control of the In
dianapolis school board for several
months has ceased to exist we're
manifested at special board meet
ing Tuesday.
First evidence of the impending
break came when the board con-
sidered awarding contracts to bid
ders for installing heating, ventilat-
ing, and plumbing in the new addi-
ton to School No. rs.
Bids before the board we're those
of Freyn Brothers, Strong Brothers,
and the Hayes Company. Recon-
mendation was made that Freyn
Brothers heating and ventilating be
used at a cost of $5,17O and that
Strong Brothers plumbing be con-
tracted for at $1957, a total of $7,127.
Hayes Brothers bid for the entire
work was $7019.74.
Battle Is Started
Commissioner Fred Bates John
son suddenly took the center of the
stage, saying This looks like de-
liberate attempt to favor Freyn
Brothers. Why combine their bid
with somebody's else and pay more
money!"
Freyn Brothers bid only on the
heating and ventilating. their bid
being slightly under that of Hayes.
When combined with the Strong bid
for all work, however, it was larger.
johnson did not wait for an an
swer. II move" said he, that the
bid of Hayes Brothers be accepted
as the lowest and best"

johnson pressed his point. He
drew the explanation that the
reason the Freyn and Strong bid
had been recommended for ac-
ceptance was that "Freyn and
Strong, would use better material"
namely, Mott equipment.

"An American organization has
offered us 100000 if we fly back to

offer is so attractive that we are
again considering the possibility OF
returning home by airplane."
Chalnberlin discussed his future

he had received.
st believe it is quite likely we shall
leave Berlin III five or six days and
fly to Vienna" he continued. 1--WE
have accepted an official invitation
from the Austrian government to
visit them by air at their capital.
We also are planning to fly to Rome,
Paris, London, and are considering
flight to Moscow, possibly pausing
at Poland on the way.
Numerous Offers
Among the hundreds of offers
we have received, one is to appear
in a circus at home. There are
many offers to go into the movies,
vaudeville, On the stage, on the lee
turing platform and others"
The f1ier said well meaning people
had loaded charms and fetishes on
him as tokens of good luck. Il am
not superstitious,' Chamberlin as
&Mued the correspondent II took
&Nhem along merely to please the
donors"
Welcomed by President
Chamberlin and Levine began fill
ing the first of a series of engage
ments today in which the people of
Germany sought to express their
admiration for their record break
ing airplane flight from New York.
The f1iers we're received at the pres
idential palace by President Won
Hindenburg. About ten years ago
Chamberlin, then an inexperienced
youth, was joining the United States
Army balloon corps, hoping 10 soar
above the armies led by Won Hin
denburg. All such was forgotten
today. Chamberlin and Levine were
welcomed as emissaries of peace,
whose flight would add to the
friendship already existing between
Germany and the Unite Estates.
Chancellor Wilhelm Marx will re-
ceive the pair at 4:30 and it was
expected that all cabinet members
in Berlin would attend the recep-
ton. In return for New York's be-
stowal of honorary citizenship on
Dr. Hugo Eckener, pilot of the Los
Angeles from Germany to Lake

lin will confer citizenship on Cham
