ILLINOIS FIGHT UNLIKELY.
State Expected to Recognize Author
ity of Senate.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. January 81
CP.--In the absence of an official
statement from Gov. Len Small to-
day a communication from the at
tOrney generals office indicated that
no effort would be made at the state
capitol to force recognition of Senator
elect Frank l. Smith as appointee to
che seat of the late Senator William
Il. Mckinley.
Illinois recognizes the authority of
the United States Senate TO sit in
judgment on it's own members" the
communication said. IF the govern
ors appointee is not wanted in the
Senate, the members of that body
have a right to say So"
Attorney GeneraI oscar Carlstrom
was not in Springfield today and his
office reported that he might be on
his way to Washington" 1t was de
MED, however, that he plans to take
the Smith case to the United States
Supreme Court with a petition that
Illinois be not deprived of constitu-
tional' representation.
MIR. Carlstrom," the communica
ton said, has been representing I'LL
nOis in the waterways diversion suit
at Washington. He may be returning
to that, but certainly not in connec
ton with the Smith case"
In official circles here it was under
stood to be Gov. Smalls view that the
appointment was made and that if
finally, the Senate committee Gusts
Smith its action will go unchallenged
Failure TO seat Smith when the
term to which he was elected begins,
may leave Illinois with only one
United States Senator until a spe-
cial election can be held in 1928, ac-
cording to belief in political circles.
Smith May Re-Enter Race.
1t was limited today that in such
instance Smith may elect to re-enter
the race and that If successful again.
Illinois may wage a definite battle

The vote in the Senate came late
yesterday, after a second day of five
and a half hours debate. Vice Presi-

would first be voted on, and then the
Reed resolution denying the Senator

tons committee for an investigation
of the whole case.

luton. No shifts appeared in the
lineup on the roll call, except that
those Senator's who had opposed the
Overmah resolution were found voting
solidly for the Reed resolution, and
the supporters of the Overman reso-
luton voted against the Reed resolu-
ton.
Party lines were smashed in the
vote Fifteen Republicans voted 10

 'No machine is absolutely fool-proof. None is perfect.

 "Details as to fares and round-trip tickets and so forth have not been worked out. shall not try to work them out. Leave that for the business men who will finance the plan"
 There is one detail of his invention which Junker is not willing to discuss even vaguely, just now. That is the kind of motors he will use And his attitude is very natural. It is the attitude of every inventor in these days when the

They will not be breathing the outside air at an altitude of six miles. Of course, human groundlings couldn't live long under natural conditions at that height
 And he has an answer for every other objection, every anxiety, every doubt.
 There will be no danger of fire, for instance. The plane will be made of fire proofed metal throughout. Not even the most fragrant carelessness of the most idiotic passenger can cause a confgra- tion great enough to endanger the others.
 Machinery, of course, being man made, is not perfect, nor infallible, and the good Professor has to admit that it is conceivable that some day bunker plane may have motor trouble and have to descend Should that happen when the plane is flying over the Atlantic, it can be brought down to the water gradu- ally and can float or drift indefinitely, while the powerful wireless apparatus sends out calls for aid.
 My machine is as nearly as fool-proof

ago, but the Treaty of Versailles placed restrictions on airplane building in Ger many, and he has had to delay the reali- zation of his dream. The restrictive provisions of the treaty expired May l, and he immediately hired mechanics and began to put his machine together.
 Just how near to completion the ma chine is may be imagined when it is known that the crew for the first ex- perimental flight has already been en- gagged and is being drilled by the inventor.
 A small model of the plane was built some years ago, and according to those who saw it tested,' it fulfilled every hope of the Professor, but he admits that even the most painstaking test flight with a model does not always give true pie ture of the conditions that may make or break the finished product
 In designing his machine, Professor Junker has discarded many of the tra- ditions of airplane making that have come down from the days of the Wright brothers.
 The wings are hollow, for the passen- gers compartments, the accommodations for the crew, the necessary passages, and the inevitable machinery, which is al- most plumb center. The plane has no tail, like other planes, but is to be guided, lowered or raised by a combina- tion of rudders. It will be driven by four powerful motors, all located in front and so correlated that two of them may be shut down for repairs, while the remaining two drive the great plane through space at the rate of 150 miles an hour. Incidentally, machine shop, complete in all accessories, will be fea- ture of the Junker plane and while it may not add to the material comfort, will do much to add to the peace of mind of the passengers.
 The machine will be steered to right or left by the two upright projections at the ends of the plane, while it will be

 The pilot house will be in gsa a cupola at the very center F of the plane, and there will ss be concentrated the controls over all the complicated ma chinery. he captain will have the great air liner con- N pletely in hand at every mo- V, ment of the flight. \ A giant wireless apparatus, both for sending and receiv- ing, will further assure the safety of the passengers.
 A long passage leads from end to end of the hollow wings, in the interior, ac- cording to present plans, and the rooms and kitchens and storage rooms open off that corridor.
 It is planned to have the Junker plane ascend as quickly as possible to height of from five to six miles, after taking off. That is about 4,000 feet higher than Mount Everest, which is 29,000 feet above sea level.
 The purpose of this high flying is to avoid the greater resistance of the air at the level at which planes ordinarily fly. The resistance to a plane flying at a speed of, say, 124 miles an hour is enormous at ordinary levels. Still an- other object is to avoid storms. Six miles is well above the cloud level and out of the storm zone, when atmospheric conditions are anything like normal. And the danger to the great plane is corre- spondingly reduced.
 But won't the rarefied air cause the passengers to suffocate and die?" asked an American newspaperman stationed in Berlin.
 "Not at all" replied the Professor. "The air the passengers breathe in the dramatically sealed interior will be sup piled with an abundance of oxygen.
New Britain herald., 1927-07-21

that when 1857 Tolls aIouHu
 airplaning to Berlin will be so common that New Workers won't even consider it particularly daring or particularly smart.
 The pioneer plane for Berlin-to-New York traffic is being made of Duralumi- mum, a new alloy of aluminium, which is very hard and durable, yet the lightest of all metals.
 The plane will measure 400 feet from tip to tip, and it will be fitted out to accommodate fair-sized crew and 100 passengers.
 The passengers compartments will be in the wings, and will be not unlike those in ordinary Pullman cars, with which most travellers are familiar. They will be well-windowed, lighted by daylight by day and by electricity at night.
 The cabins will be tastefully fur nished, with wall hangings, rugs and all the other comforts and luxuries that well-to-do Americans expect when they go touring. The seats by day will be transformed into berths at night, as in sleeping cars. The berths will stretch lengthwise, so that the passengers head is pointing toward the front of the speed ing plane. Junker has so perfected the mechanism of his machine that passen- gers will feel even less vibration than they experience when they retire aboard the best ocean-going liner.
 There will be a general meeting hall, or amusement center, stocked with mus ical Instruments, reading matter and writing materials. There may even be dancing.
 A specially designed heating plant will keep the passengers warm; specially constructed freezing system will keep meats and vegetables cool and make it possible to serve the best of food at all times.
 In fact, they say there is no good req son why, in the not 80 distant future, there should not be little bar aboard the Junker plane, so that the thirsty from Volstead's Land may crook their elbows once the machine scars beyond America's shores.
 The present plan is for the plane to make the trip at an altitude of between five and six miles.
 It is said that the estimate of twenty four hours for the voyage is conserva- tive, and that it can do it in fifteen, if need arises. This claim is borne out by statistics.
 Model planes of the sort that will be used have attained speed of 150 miles an hour, even with two of the four mo- tors throttled down. And Major de Der nardi, an Italian aviator, has established record of 260 miles an hour. If the Junker plane should be able to make such speed, Berlin to New York in fif- teen hours would be an accomplished fact, and it would not even be necessary to have sleeping quarters aboard.
 Add to what has already been said that the German scientist promises absolute safety" to prospective customers, and you get an idea of how much stranger than Monsieur Verne's fiction is Doctor Junker's apparently demonstrable fact.
 Junker actually did most Of the de- signing of the super-plane some years
New Britain herald., 1927-07-21

years since Count Zeppelin built his first dirigible, and while dirigibles have been improved upon in many ways they never can attain the speed and se- curity of heavier than-air machines. motor driven, Prof. Junker says.
 After the test flights, and before the general public is permitted to buy tickets, the first Junker plane will be sent to America loaded with all sorts of scientists, who will study conditions, at- mospheric and otherwise, and give the world a fair idea of what to expect un- der actual travelling conditions. That flight may take place within the next four months, unless some one is spoofne about the advanced development of the Professors brain-child.
 When the scientists have made the hop and become satisfied that things are as represented" he says, "a company will be formed for the production of Junker planes. Of course, we cannot 20 after quantity production immediately. Much of the work must be done by hand.
 "We shall put sufficient machines into the Berlin-to-New York service to take care of the traffic, which we expect to be light at first. People will be afraid. Then, when we complete trip after trip, it will be quite the thing, just as it is now the thing on the Continent to make trips between European cities by air"
