reached for action In the closing
hours of the session.
Before agreeing to report out the
bill authorizing a combined building
for the recorder of deeds, the Juvenile
and Municipal Courts, the committee
wanted to know what site the Com
missioners had in mind. Engineer
Commissioner. Bell said the board
favors the west side of John Marshall
place, directly across from the Dis
trict Supreme Court. Congress passed
an act authorizing a. Recorder of
Deeds Building last year. but at that
time 1t was proposed to erect it in
Judiciary Square, and for that reason
the old act gave no authority for the
purchase of q site. The bin approved
yesterday authorizes $250,000 for
site and 100000 for the building.

Virginia, insisted upon a. vote and the

Of land between the Commissioners
and the Navy Department has passed
the House and therefore has fair
chance of becoming law. 1t was ex-
planned to the committee yesterday
that a portion of the Industrial
Home School ground would make pos

Circle, while the land
which the Navy would turn over to
the District could either be used for
some municipal purpose or sold and
the proceeds applied to the erection of
a new Industrial Home School.
Owners Must Concur.
The bill empowering. the Commits

the highway plan is intended primarily
to do away with the necessity of open

useless or unnecessary when the Park

layouts. 1t is stipulated, however,
that the abutting property owners
must give their consent to the clos

dedicated for the street, it would re-

While this bill was before the com

CONQUEST OF AIR

By the Associated Press.


PERNAMBUCO, Brazil, February
25.-The Italian flyer, Comdr. Fran
cesco de Pinedo, who arrived here
yesterday from Port Natal after COM
plotting the transatlantic section of his
four-continent fight, left for Bahia,
Brazil at 10:45 O'Clock this morning.
The distance by air line is 440 miles.
ROME, February 25 P).--The flight
of Comdr. Francesca de Pinedo across
the South Atlantic ocean from Porto
Playa, Cape Verde Islands, to the Is
land of Fernando Noronna, off the
coast of Brazil, was conquest, not
only of the elements in their most
ugly moods, but of series of heart
breaking strokes of bad luck, as re-
lated in an official report from the
aviator.
bad Breaks" Encountered.
The report was read last night be-
fore the Chamber of Deputies by Sig.
nor Balbo, undersecretary of state for
aeronautics.
The report, which was made to
Premier Mussolini, showed that at
every moment of the flight from the
arrival of the aviators at Bolama
Portuguese Guinea, to their departure
for Brazil, the flyers were forced to
cope with bad breaks which threat
ened at times to cut short the entire
enterprise
The accident to the plane while it
was moored at Fernando Noronha
coming after previous mishaps, caused
damages which were patched up hast
lily in the hope of reaching Buenos
Aires, where a thorough overhauling
hn
caused by rough water at Fernando
Noronha was repaired sufficiently well
was indicated by hops which carried
the flyers from Fernando Noronha to
Port Natal, on the Brazilian, coast and
then south to Pernambuco.
Struggle Lasts Ia Hours.
The 14-hour flight across the South
Atlantic to Fernando Noronha was
described as an unending struggle to
battle the elements which seemed to
be- conspiring to defeat the flyers Vic
lent equatorial transforms forced the
machine to, the crests Of turbulent
waves, heat caused the water in the
engine radiator to boil so that it was
necessary to pump into the radiator
every drop of drinking water, aboard
the plane, In addition to several pints
of rain water gathered by sponges, oil
and gasoline had to be pumped con-
stantly from one tank to another,
while an overcast sky made necessary
astronomical observations almost i'm
possible. The difficulties of the ocean
lap OF the four continent flight more
than equaled those encountered in
Africa and far surpassed those after
the arrival at Fernando Noronha.
Comdr de Pinedo said that he had
been forced to hop off from Porto
Praya because the temperature there
was lower than at BAHAMA, whence
ne had originally planned to hop off.
The sitting heat at BAHAMA, excep-
t1onal for this season, was such that
II the machine failed to rise within
20 seconds the water in the radiator
would begin to boil.
Motors Work Perfectly.
Throughout the flight, the COM
mander reported. the motors worked
perfectly. A violent downpour of
rain along the Equator forced the
aviators for some time to fly along
the crest of the waves. At this time
