LOS ANGELES, April l1.-"If
it takes a dozen airplancs II fly
back to Rome!''
Commander Francesca De Pinedo,
dapper, but unassuming Italian air
hero, thus expressed himself here
today as he talked of the disastrous

He will arrive in New York about
April 30, where another plane will
await his arrival and he will again
take to the air flying to New Or
leans, thence to St. Louis, Chicago,
Quebec and Halifax. From Nova
Scotia he will hop off across the
Atlantic to the Azores and from
there to Rome.
IL was deeply disappointed when
the Santa Maria went up in flames
at Roosevelt Lake, but | intend to
continue my trip and | intend to
&c back to Rome in the manner in
which l came from there he said.

SOUTH TO
BUCK TAX
PROGRAM
Fight to Finish Ordered
on Repeal of Intangible
Securities Tax.
BUDGET HELD UP
Jones Says Legislature
Will Adjourn on Date
Set.

SACRAMENTO, April l1.-Belli-
ecrent Southern California law
makers today moved their big guns
up to the legislative battle line,
and prepared to lay down their first
barrage against the administra
tion $ tax revision program.
The issue was over repeal Of the
states percent assessment law on
intangibleo securities.
Hopes of averting a pitched bat
tie just as the peaceful! and serene
Legislature was winding up its ses
sion went glimmering Sunday, after
Los Angeles and other southern leg
islators communicated with their
constituents.
They were told to give no quar-
ter and fight repeal to the bitter
end.
The amendment Offered by a. r.
Heron, Governor Young's budget
maker to relieve the persons who
have been telling the truth about
their wealth, having it assessed at
7 percent. was substitution of the
Lis rate instead of the regular
county rate.
But even this did not meet the
approval of the bills opponents, so
the battle is ON.
The tax measures are the keys to
adjournment of the legislature.
Governor Young won't sign the
$l94. 100000 budget until they are
passed, as their failure would wreck
the budget, he says.
Under the law as interpreted by
Attorney General L. s. Webb, all
measures that call for spending of
money must follow adoption Of the
budget.
SO as a result, the Breed gaso-
line tax and highway measures,
several of the governor s reorgani-
cation measures that call for new
positions, the judges salary increase
bills, claims against the state, spe
preparation measures are banked up
behind the budget bill.
When the budget is signed the
Legislative machine will travel along
speedily to adjournment. 1t is
likely that the proceedings on the
scores of minor claim and appropri
alton measures will be speeded up
by having one roll call apply to
them all.
Assemblyman Isaac Jones of On
tario. administration leader in the
lower house. insists that adjourn
ment is still possible at noon of
April %.

Hold-Up Baked
By City Police

An alleged attempted hold-up at
a pool hall on the East Side was
frustrated early last night when
city police arrived on the scene.
The police were notified that a
Mexican who is alleged to have
been doing some promiscuouS shoot
ing about town of late was hanging
about the hall.
Desk Sergeant Elmer Toney with
Patrolmen George Pryor, Frank
McCaSlin and Charlie Rosenquest
answered the call. AS they arrived
at the pool hall, the Mexican made
a hasty exit. Pryor took up the
chase, firing four times at the flee
ing Mexican, but the latter made
good his escape.
The patrolmen questioned numer-
Gus others who were in the pool hall
but no arrests were made.

FORMULA
French Plan For Naval

Unsatisfactory.
BREAK IS AVERTED
France Would Restrict

rejected the French formula for
naval limitation, was believed to
have been avertcd when it dcvcl-
opcd that Frances proposals were
widely supported from other quar-
tiers.
The break became imminent when
Viseount Cecil, speaking for Eng

gcstion that naval armament be
limited bv total tonnage instead Of
classes of ships.
The discussion rcvolved around
President Coolidgc's 3 proposals for
insisted that the French should de-
fer presenting their program until
the Coolidge conference met.
Latin America, as represented by
the Argentine and Chile, strongly
favored a compromise along the
lines of the French plan. Serbia
announced the French idea was ac-
c,ptable and the japanese delegate
held that it would serve az a basis
for continued discussion.
Only Italy joined England in
complete rejection. The Americans
said they were ready to continue to
seek solution acceptable to all
members of the commission.
Thus, compromise appeared
likely.
Hugh Gibson, American minister
to Bernc and delegate to the preiim,
mary conference, explained the
United States position.
"Thc fundamental task of the
American delegation, he said, sis
to make the present commission a
success. The United States wants
general naval disarmament, with n
solution here and now if possible,
but failing that partial solution
at a three power or other confer
cncc
elf the United States has insist
ed upon naval reduction by the limi-
tation of categories, it is because
this system is already giving prac-
teal and workable results. Mean
time we are ready to study the
French and all other projects and
if one can be found that will give
a general naval disarmament solu-
tion, the United States will be most
happy to accept it and contribute
to it.

Court Postpones
Sinclair Sentence
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, April illus
tice William Hitz of district gu
preme court today on his own mo-
tion for 80 days deferred the
scheduled sentencing of Harry F..
Sinclair, oil magnate, for contempt
of the senate.
Without explanation, the court
announced that ''this matter will
be deferred further for 80 days.
The deferment had previously
tcen communicated to Sinclair, and
he was not in the courtroom.
The deferment was taken, it was
learned later, because the jurors in
the contempt case will be on the
panel for which jurors will be
drawn for the trial of Sinclair and
former Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. Fall, scheduled to open
here April 25.
1t was felt imposition of sentence
of Sinclair at this time might preiu
dice the jury in the conspiracy case.
