LUVERNE, Ala, October 12.-Al'
though summoned to appear today be-
fore the special grand jury investi-

Rr the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October II. - The
monoplane on whose staying powers
Ruth Elder and Capt. George Halde'
man have staked their lives is a stock
model Stinson-Detroiter like that
flown over the Atlantic by William S.
Brock and Edward F. Schlee on their
incompleted round-the-world flight.
The Elder craft is powered by a
single Wright Whirlwind motor, such
as was used in the flights of Lind
bergh, Chamberlin, Byrd and Brock
and Schlee.
Every piece of material in the plane
was subjected to an X-ray examina-
ton for possible defects.
The plane has a wing spread Of 46
feet and the fuselage length of 80
feet, in which the passenger seats
have been replaced by extra gasoline
tanks. Vision is provided by four
glass windows behind the engine, two
in front and one on either side.

BUS LINE STATION
|. UNDERPARK URGED
Depot Below Ground at Site
in Front of Proposed Com
merce Building Favored.

Establishment Of an underground
central bus terminal beneath the park
which it is proposed to locate on the
square bounded by Pennsylvania
teenth streets has been suggested to
Federal officials concerned with the
Governments public building program
and members of the Public Utilities
Commission as solution of the per-
picking problem of what to do with
the nuemorus interstate busses which
operate into the congested section.
The present plan Of developing the
Pennsylvania avenue mall triangle
contemplates a park facing the new
Department of Commerce Building
and advocates of the underground bus
terminal have pointed out that IT
would be an ideal location for the-proj-
ect both from a utiitarian and traffic
standpoint. The entrances and exits
on the extremities of the park, 1t was
said, could be designed attractively so
as to avoid barring the esthetic vista
to the new Commerce Building.
John w. Childress, chairman Of the
Utilities Commission. said that he
thought the idea Of locating the bus
terminal under the proposed park
would afford an excellent solution Of
the bus terminal problem, chiefly be-
cause Of it's accessibility and because
it will keep the buses from crossing
Pennsylvania avenue and other traffic
congested thoroughfares III the down
town section.
Federal officials, it was said, are CO.
operating with the commission in an
effort 10 find suitable location for a
central bus terminal, as they are
anxious to have it established at
point below Pennsylvania avenue
where it would be accessible to the
new Government buildings.

Philadelphia has been prosecuting the

sistants or to pay for the necessary
expenses Of the oil prosecutions. He

hop on record, flight of nearly $500
miles along the shipping lanes directly
from Long Island to the French coast.
Seven other transatlantic airmen made
overwater hops of approximately
1900 miles from Newfoundland to the
Irish coast on flights to England and
Europe.
Although it called for a total flying
distance of some $500 miles, the more
southern route was selected in prefer
ence to the great circle course in the
hope of avoiding ice and possibly being
able to fly over fog. The course lay
almost due east for distance of 1,244
miles, when the pilots planned to
change to northeast for the rest of the
distance. While the course followed
the shipping lanes all the way, Halde-

Little Danger From Ice.

ger from ice due to fog and rain at
high attitudes. The American Girl
can climb $4,000 to 10000 feet.
Haldcman said the plane was
capable of a speed OF 130 miles an
hour. He expected to average lilo
miles an hour. The plane carried
$40 gallons of gasoline, considered
sufficient to last 4,4O0 miles, and 20
gallons Of oil. The loaded plane
weighed $500 pounds, $50 pounds
more than Lindbergh's craft.
Emergency equipment included a

to send the plane to the south of it's
course and at 1900 miles out the wind
would come at almost right angles
across the course of the plane. A few
hundred miles further, where the ship
was expected to skirt the first low
pressure area, he said, the winds
would swing right on the tail of the
plane. and then to the south, tending
to send the ship to the north of its
course.
Then would come tail winds. he said,
until the flyers enter the worst
weather Of the trip, a storm and fog
area that has hung 600 to 1000 miles
