Clarence D. Chamberlin, who flew

The plane intended for the flight

use are successful.
Commercial flying over the At
1antic is possible now from an en-.
cheering standpoint,' the flyer
said. "What is needed by aviators
for more complete mastery of the
air are instruments similar to those
with which ships are now navigat-
ed.
"With automatic control, a pilot
could let plane flv by itself while
he made observations and checked
on the progress of the flight, at the
same time navigating more accurate
~ over a longer distance than is
now possible.
"The weight of such equipment,
less than a hundred pounds, would
be compensated for by eliminating
one man from the crew.
"I hope next year to have a plane
suitable for CARRYING passengers as
forerrnner Of rcru'ar ocean SCR

Atlantic must demonstrate the prac-
ticabiNtv of carving passengers

SUPPORT
FOR REED
INCREASES
South Dakota Leaders in
Favor Of MissOurian as
Democratic Candidate.
SENTIMENT GROWING
Wetness of Senator Not
Believed To Be Too Big
Handicap.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

RAPID CITY, s. D., July IS. -
Prominent Democrats in South Da-
kota are talking about Senator
James A. Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
as the 1928 presidential nominee of
their party.
Governor W. j. Bulow, Judge
Charles j. Buell. and T. B. Worner,
Democratic state committee man,
have Informed the United Press
that the sentiment here is strong
for Reed even though he is wet.
They expressed the opinion that
the state delegation might be for
the Missourian next year.
Reed is considered a western man
and is well known in this state
while Governor al Smith of New
York, the other prominent Demo
cratic wet, is not very well known.
Opinions of Bulow, Buell. and
Worner are consideredN here to be
quite expressive of Democratic sen
timent in the state and in fact
through the west which thinks a
long about the same lines as South
Dakota.
Rulow is the first Democratic
governor elected in this Republican
state in years. Buell. is a judge and
he and Worner have long been del
egates to Democratic national con-
ventions.
While there is hardly a chance
for Democrats to carry this state
in the election, sentiment of Demo
Gratis here may have an important
bearing on the decision of western
Democrats toward selection of the
Democratic nominee.
Reed Strong at Home
Arrangements have been made
that if the South Dakota delegation
does not go outright for Reed it
may be pledged to Bulow, who ia
vors Reed as against other promi-
nent candidates who have been
mentioned thus far.
Up to this time Reed has failed
to develop much support outside of
his home state Of Missouri but the
addition of South Dakota indicates
the adding Of several western
states.
While Reeds popularity here
was being made subject of political
discussion, gossip of White House
attaches centered upon circulated
stories that Everett Sanders, secre
tary to President Coolidge, intend
ed to take an indefinite leave of
absence August l for his health.
Sanders Indignantly denied re-
ports of contemplated resignation
and said he did not now contem-
plate leave of absence. He may
take vacation during the latter
part of his stav here or when he
returns to Washington.
