ing a suitable field and landing
in it.
An experienced pilot can see at
a glance nearly everything neces-
sary to know about a landing field
He can tell its size, the condition
OF the ground, height CT grass or
weeds, whether there are any rocks,
holes, posts or bitches in the way,
if the land is rough and rolling or
fiat and smooth; in short, whether
the field is suitable to land in or
If it would be advisable to look for
another and better one.
In fact, the success Of a barn
storming pilot of the old days was
measured to a large extent by his
artfulness in the choice of fields
from which to operate.
Often, in case of motor failure,
the safety of his passengers, himself
and his ship depended upon his
alertness to choosing the best avail
able landing place and his ability
in maneuvering the plane into it.
Hills Appear Flat
If his motor failure was only par
tial or at high altitude, time was
not so essential, as a plane can
glide a great distance, either with
a motor which only "revs" down a
couple of hundred r. P. M. or with
out any assistance from he engine
at all.
The average wartime machine
could glide at least five times it's
height, which meant that if it was
5000 feet above the ground the pilot
could pick a field to land in five
times away with safety; but if the
failure was soon after take-of then
instant decision and immediate &C
ton were necessary.
An amateur, on the other hand,
has not overcome the StrangeneSS
of altitude, and the ground below
looks entirely different than it does
from the air, although there is not
the sensation, in an airplane, of
looking down as from a high build
ing.
Hills appear as fiat country,
boulders and bitches are invisible,
size are deceptive and marshes ap-
pear as solid grassland. The STU
dent has not the background of ex-
perience so essential to the success
full pilot, yet his only method of
learning lies in his own initiative
in meeting and overcoming service
conditions.
Jenny Lands Safe"
There was no regular airport in
Meridian in 1923, and few fields
available for reasonably safe land
ing.
After a half hours search I de-
cided on the largest pasture I could
see, made the best kind of a short
field landing 7 knew how by coming
down just over the tree tops, with
the engine wide open, to the edge of
the field, then cutting the gun and
allowing the ship to slow down to
its landing speed.
This method brings the plane In
with tremendous velocity and re-
quires much larger landing field
than is necessary, but until the
pilot has flown long enough to
have the feel" of his ship it is far
safer to come in fast than too slow.
1t had been raining at Meridian
and the field was little soft, so
that when my Jenny" finally did
settle to the ground it had a very
short roll and there was still some
clear ground in front.

farm relief movement he does not
like. The only compromise farm
relief movement with any chance
of success is that in the House,
though farm members there have
been wagering in their compromise
feelings of few weeks ago, and
appear to be swinging back toward
the equalization fee Of the McNary-
Haugen bill.
The House has passed half Of its
appropriation bills; the Senate &C
copied these measures quickly, with
slight changes. All the supply bills
should be through the House by
March Is.
Because of the congressional sit
uation, it appears now there will be
little other legislation beyond these
bills and a flood relief measure.
Even tax reduction appears to be
doomed,

HOLDS BODIES
Theory of Authorities in
Case of Two Officers.

By ntfcd Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. IA
Bodies of Deputy Sheriffs John P
Grove and Wallace Mcclure, who
disappeared week ago while TAX
ing the convictS to the Indiana Re-
formatory at Pendleton, probably
are in the Wabash River, and may
not be recovered until the present
high waters recede, is the belief of
Tippecanoe County authorities here
today.
Although police of three cities
have reported that they are hold
ing men resembling Samuel Baxter
and John Burns, who are believed to
have murdered the deputies in a
desperate effort to escape f1ve-year
sentences for robbery, local officers
have little hope that the real con-
victS are in custody.
At Henderson, KY, two men who
answered the description of Baxter
and Burns, were arrested in a rail-
way yard, according to word re-
ceived here. At the same time no
lice was received from Freeport, Ill,
that two others resembling the con-
victs were being held. The same
news came from Gulfport, Fla. Off
GERS able to identify the missing
men are being sent to each place.
Rewards totaling more than $3.50
were posted today for information
leading to the recovery of the bodies
of Grove and Mcclure, or the cap
ture, dead or alive, of Burns and
Baxter.
Tippecanoe County commissioners
met here Monday night and passed
a resolution providing for $500 re-
ward, in addition to $50 by the
Grove family and small sums by
others.

DEMOCRATS TO meet
Ward and Precinct Chiefs
Are Called to Farley.

Five hundred men and women
representing the Democratic ward
and precinct organization in Marion
County have been invited by County
Chairman Leroy j. Reach to a
meeting in the Claypool assembly
room at 8 tonight.
Keach's call is interpreted as a
move to block formation of a new
Democratic machine around Mayor
L. Ert Stacks administration. The
county chairman promises an Or
ganization plan productive of a
more militant spirit and intended
to swell the primary vote.
Under the Reach plan, ward lines
would be disregarded and district
committees, comprising four to six
precincts, formed.

BRAINS OF DRY 4
AGENTS Raise !
VEXINC QUERY
Mental Tests Not Needed,
Says Doran; They Are,
Commission Insists.
BY ROBERT TALLEY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-How
much brains does one need to be a
prohibition agent?
A lot Of interest has been aroused
here in speculation of this kind
since DR.. James M. Doran, prohi-
hibition commissioner, told con-
gressional committee that mental
tests for prospective prohibition
agents are not needed and, at the
most, should be incidental.
st am convinced that ability to
pass a good mental test is not at
all conclusive as to a mans ability
to perform satisfactory SERVICE" Dr.
Doran told the committee.
1900 Are Stumped y
Doran insisted that applicants
should be judged by character and
experience, integrity and past per-
formance."
It was the Civil Service Commis@
sion'S mental test" that stumped
more than two-thirds of the pres
ent 1000 prohibition agents in ex-
aminationS necessary to retain their
jobs, and also many outsiders. It is
to this type Of test that DR.. Doran
objects.
Another complaint by Doran
against the mental test is that
perversely enough, the highest per-
centage. Of failures was among the
good agents and the highest per-
centage of passages was among
agents not SO desirable.
For example," continued Doran.
Gin those districts where instances
of personnel dereliction have been
greatest, we find the largest per-,
centage Of SurvivalS Of the mental
test"
Commission Won't Bulge
Deaf to Doran's pleas for new
examinations to give his unsucceSS-
full prohibition agents a second
chance to retain their Jobs, the
Civil Service Commission says it
is proceeding with the examinations
without any change of any kind,
according to Herbert Morgan, com~
mission secretary.
1T is absurd and ridiculous to
believe that the Civil Service Com
mission can change its require
ments to perpetuate any incumbent
in his job" Morgan said. "That
would defeat the whole purpose of
our selective and competitive sys-
tenn"

FORMER MAJOR
ADMITS KILLING
Wife IN PACT
Tells of Hammer Murder;
Had Agreed to End Own
Life Later.

By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IA con-
fession by Cecil Clyde Campbell, a
former major in the American army,
that he killed his wife with ham,
mer in New York hotel eight days
ago was in the hands Of detectives
here today.
Arrested by New York police who
had trailed him here, Campbell ad-
mitted he was the murderer of the
40-year-old woman, whose body was
found in bed by a maid, the head
crushed by the blows of shiny new
10-cent hammer which law near by.
A death pact was responsible for
the Staying. Campbell told detectives.
After killing her, he was to have
committe dsuicide by jumping from
the window of the hotel, he said, but
decided to wait until he had paid
off some debts"
Campbell, tall, muscular man of
40, said he had been in the real
estate business but had suffered
financial reverses.
He and his wife were discussing
their financial difficulties during
their stay in the hotel, the man
said, when the death agreement be-
tween them was concluded.
They joined in short prayer for
forgiveness, he said, then he struck
her. She was fully awake and look
ing at him.
They had thought or ending their
lives together on previous occasions.
Once or twice they considered leap
ing from ferryboat or. from the
window Of some New York hotel.
The murdered woman, prior to her
marriage to Campbell six or seven
years ago, was Mrs. Mary Lyle Nc
Lean of Brooklyn, detectives said.

Congress Is Near Halfway
Mark With Big Issues
Still in Doubt.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. - The
good ship Congress" is nearly half
way in its annual journey.
The Senatorial section Of the
crew. dominated by Democrats and
Western Republicans, is seeking to
steer the good ship in q direction
embarrassing to president Coolidge,
but the House section, where Re-
publicanS are uppermoSt, succeeds
in checking turn in this direction.
The progress forward, however, is
slow.
Dropping the metaphor 1t might
be pointed out that the House this
session is acting to check politi-
cally colored resolutions and meas
ures diSliked by the administration,
which the Senate passes with an
abandon only enjoyed by those with
everything to gain and nothing to
lose.
President Coolidge, consequently,
depends mostly these days on his
House leaders. They are serving him
well, lining up their majority to
suit him.
Third Term Bill Pending
The House this week will receive
the LaFollette resolution declaring
against a presidential third term
The last House members ever will
hear of it officially is when the
messenger from the Senate an
nounceS, formally, that the Senate
has passed it.
A similar resolution, by Repre-
sentative Beck, Wisconsin, is pend
ing. but never will get from its COM
mittee pigeonhole.
This is the most recent senatorial
act which the House will decline
to duplicate. When the McMaster
tariff resolution was presented
formally to the House, by the Sem
ate messenger, it was laid unceri-
moniously on the table, despite a
protest from Democrats. There it
will lie until adjournment in June.
A similar fate, it appears, awaits
the Jones Senate resolution pro-
viding continued government opera
ton of the Shipping Board fleet.
Hearings will begin soon on ship
ping legislation, but nothing that
looks q like the Jones resolution.

Indy LAUGHS
AT U. S. FEARS
FOR SAFETY
Havana-St. Louis Jump
Was Without Incident, He
Says, on Landing.
BY FOSTER EATON,
United Press Staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 14.-Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh's plans for the
future include a ome-coming flight
over st. Louis today, a flight over
his old air-mail route to Chicago
next week, and little more.
II really haven't made any definite
plans" the youthful goodwill am
bassador" said in an interview, fol-
lowing his return here after 1880
mile nonstop flight from Havana.
He will continue in an advisory
capacity with the Guggenheim fund
for the promotion of aviation, he
said, and ultimately" will give his
Spirit of st. Louis to the Smith
sonian institute. He was indefinite
ABOUT when he would relinquish
charge of his internationally famous
plane, however.
Still in Perfect Shape
"It has flown 481 hours since leav-
ing San Diego" he said, ais in per-
feet condition and has many more
flying hours in it,"
The trip from Havana to st. Louis,
Lindbergh said, was without Incl
dent except for rough weather most
of the way" Frequently he was
unable to see the ground, occasion
ally he flew "just over the treetops"
and on other occasions he flew per
haps at $500 feet" The plane func-
toned perfectly.
He laughed when told that 1t was
feared his take-off at Columbia
Field, Havana, would be marred by
engine trouble. The motor did sput-
ter bit, he admitted, but explained:
st just was switching from one
gas tank to another, and the flow
to the carburetor was interrupted
for a second or two. 1t was moth
ing"
Lindbergh couldn't recall that he
ever had motor trouble with the
Spirit of St. Louis. He was asked
next why he did not take para
chute on his two-month swing into
Central and South America and
back.
