P|NEDO'S FLIGHT
PLANS UNCERTAIN
Trip From Cape Verde to
Brazil Depends on
Weather.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, February 19.-The exact
time of Comdr. Francesca de Pinedo s
departure from Porto Praya, Cape
Verde Islands, for Port Natal, Brazil.
depended tonight entirely on atmos-
pheric conditions, it was semi officially
stated here.
1t was believed unlikely that he
would hop off tonight, although there
was bare possibility he might If the
weather became more favorable at
night Officials at the aeronautical
ministry thought it more probable he
would take off on his 1,700-mile hop
across the South Atlantic tomorrow
morning.
Plan Nonstop Flight.
The most complete confidence was
expressed that the trip to Port Natal
would be made without the necessity
of Comdr. de Pinedo's landing on the
Island of Fernando Noronha, which is
about 800 miles from the Brazilian
coast. The route from the Cape
Verde Islands to Fernando Noronha
and thence to the Brazilian mainland
was followed by Ramon Franco, Span
ish aviator, last year.
The fact that the laps from Bolama
whence Comdr. De Pinedo originally
had planned to hop off, to .Dakar,
Senegal and to Porto Praya were car
rled out exactly on schedule was con.
sidered suspicious, since it indicated
that the commanders hydrO-airplane,
the Santa Maria, was in excellent fly
ing shape.
Scanty News From Flyer.
News from Comdr. De Pinedo con-
tinued to be exceedingly scanty. The
authorities, apparently on orders
from Premier Mussolini, were not an
nouncing the contents of the aviator's
official reports in conformity with the
premier's desire to have the achieve
ments speak for themselves.
The press comments briefly on the
forthcoming flight, saying that the
circumstances which forced Comdr.
De Pinedo to abandon his plan to fly
directly from the mainland Of Africa
to the mainland of South America
were entirely out of control and that
hence they do not cast any deroga-
tory reflection upon the aviators or
their equipment.

BULK OF BUSINESS
OVER AS CONGRESS
ENTERS STRETCH
Continued from First Page.)

on their adjusted compensation GER
tificates. The last bill is likely to he
damned through, as Is the public
buildings bill.
The present session of Congress has
been a surprise. More important
measures have been brought to fin,l
vote in the two and half months
of it's life than the most sanguine
prophet foretold. 1t is possible that
even in the remaining two weeks
bills will squeeze through which now
appear doomed.
Farm Bill an Example.
Few dreamed that the McNary-
Haugen bill could reach a final vote.
Even with Col. Frank l.. Smith, Sen
ator-designate from Illinois, knock
ing at the door for admission, the SEN
ate has been able to handle a vast
amount of work. At one time it was
feared that if Col. Smith, accused by
the Reed slush fund committee,
should accept appointment to fill the
Mckinley vacancy, the business of
the Senate would be so tied up as to
prevent the final passage of some of
the supply bills.
But this has not been the case.
After a brief debate the Senate de
clined to permit Col. Smith TO rake
the oath of Office and referred his case
to the privileges and elections COM
mittee. There it is likely to remain
for the rest of the session.
One big fight still looms. The con-
test over the proposed appropriation
for three new scout cruisers, placed
in the Navy bill by the Senate, is
still to be settled. The conferees of
the Senate and House on this meas
ure failed to meet yesterday, but are
to come together Tuesday.
Senate COnferees Confident.
The Senate conferees believe they
have their House brethren on the
hip because Of failure of France to
accept the Presidents proposal for
a five-power naval limitation agree
ment. 1t was expected last night,
however, that the cruiser amendment
would have to go back to the House
for a separate vote.
Representative French of Idaho, in
charge of the Navy bill in the House,
conferred with the President yester-
day at the White House. The Presi-
dent has been opposed to the cruiser
appropriation at this time. It Is
understood that the administration is
still hopeful, despite the attitude as
sumed by France, that some agree
ment for further naval limitation may
come out of the Presidents proposal
and the meeting soon to be held in
Geneva.
A number Of important nominations,
sent to the Senate by the President,
still hang fire, among them appoint
ments to the United States Tariff Com
mission and the Federal Trade Com
mission, and the appointments to the
Public Utilities Commission of the
District Of Columbia. The Senate
will be asked to consider them before
1t adjourns finally.

THE areas for private and semi
JLDlic institutions and for country
clubs cannot be definitely set aside
for those purposes, but as opportunity
arises, attention may be called to the
advantages of locating such private
open spaces in accordance with the
plans for the distribution Of parks
and highways"
The members of the Virginia Plan
ing Commission were present dur
ing the discussion of the regional plan.
and were given copies of the report
for study and comment, while copies
will be sent to members Of the Mary
land Planning Commission, also for
study and recommendations, before
final action is taken.

the areas considered must be studied
in their relation to existing and eX-

Park System Suggestions.
Generally, the report recommended
that the park system follow the lines
Of the various rivers and creeks, in.

Rivers, Rock Creek, the northwest
and Paint branches and their tribu-
tarieS.
perhaps the simplest way to out
line the areas of greatest scenic in
terest within the Washington region
Is to briefly review some of the pro-
posals previously made for regional
parks" the report continued. ANY
list of such proposals should start
with Great Falls and the gorge Of the
Potomac. Near the top of the list we
should place the Mount Vernon boule-
ward, which has been a live project
since 1889, or longer. Since the War
Department has been authorized to
sell certain of the lands in its control,
attention has been vigorously called
to the park values of Forts Washing
ton, Hunt and Foote on the lower
Potomac. At the same time the pos
sibilities of the large areas in public
ownership at Fort Humphreys and
Camp Meade have been suggested.
I'm connection with Camp Meade,
the proposal of William M. Ellicott of
Baltimore for a national forest in the
mention. Mr.. Ellicott in conjunction
with the State forester of Maryland
has studied the possibilities of forest
between the Capital and Camp Meade,
with forest drives or parkWay~by
that route to Baltimore.
Site of New Reservoir.
"Mr. Ellicott's scheme includes also
the acquisition of the rugged terrain
along the Northwest and Paint
Branches. The upper part of the area
along the Northwest Branch Is to be
the site of a new reservoir of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission. That commission has ex-
erted itself to preserve the valley of
Sligo Branch and to get a parkway
through the valley down to Hyatts-
Vile"
the proposed open spaces, the report
says that they should provide areas
for recreation of many sorts and for
other uses. They should provide for
enjoyment of recreation by movement
on motor roads in pleasant surround
ings and in locations commanding
views of the finest scenery of the re-
gion. In all of the reservations. it
suggests. opportunities should be
seized for the construction of bride
paths and hiking trails, and there
would be ample areas for those who
seek active recreation in the form of
games.
Picnic groves, observation towers
and properly ordered tea houses and
refreshment places should not be over
looked, SO that visitors to the parks
may stop and enjoy the scenery or
contact with natural beauty in a more
passive manner.
