MURRAY BAY, Quebec, April 81.
The illness OF both pilots has de-
layed for at least twenty-four hours
the Ford relief planes flight to
Greenly Island with repairs and
supplies for the airplane Bremen.

enza during the night and was not
able to leave his bed when called
early today to make ready for the
last stage Of his northward flight.
Later is was learned that Bernt
Balchen, Benefits co-pilot, also
was suffering from the same malady.
The Ford plane, in which the two
pilots flew to Lake st. Agnes air.
drome from Detroit yesterday, was
loaded and ready to be taken up
when the report reached the field, !,
that both fliers we're i'll. Their
haste in leaving Detroit and the
day-long flight was said to have
lowered their resistance.
Plans for the flight to Greenly
Island were revised on the basis Of
new developments. 1t is now likely
that the plane will leave at a. m.
Sunday.

Plane Stocked for Trip

MONTREAL, Que, April 21.--
Bremen rescue headquarters at Lake
st. Agnes we're early astir today,
preparing for the getaway of the
huge Ford plane for Greenly Island,
before announcement was made
that the flight had been postponed
for the day.
The plane had been slowed full Of
all sorts of gear to take to Capt
Herman Koehl and Baron Huenefeld
at the island, so that their depleted
wardrobe might be replenished and
their transatlantic plane repaired
for its journey to New York.
A few bottles of German beer,
some cigarets, a couple of huge col
lars for the massive Koehl, and
some cigars for HuenefelC were
among the articles pc tcked away, to-
gethed with the more important
items Of propeller for the Bremen
and a quantity of benzol.
Fraulein Herta Junkers, the or
ganizing genius of the expedition.
had looked we'll to details. Having
done everything with true German
precision, she allowed herself at the
last moment the feminine prerog-
ative Of being a bit nervous, though
wholly enthusiastic.
1t is the hope of Fraulein junk
ers and Major Fitzmaurice that the
Bremen can be repaired in Greenly
in short order for its trip to New
York.

Sees Little Gain in Flight
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN
~ y AVI ~ n ItNLLUhEN
United Press SneciaI CnrrnsnnnhnnA

WASHINGTON, April 21-The
westward fight of the Bremen
across the Atlantic contributed
little" to the technical side of
aviation, the United Press was
told today by a high navy ofl-
cial, one of the country's OUT
standing aeronautical authorities.
This expert nevertheless had
nothing but praise for the personal
courage OF Baron Huenefeld and
his companions.
Success Of the crew of the
Bremen in the westward flight
over the Atlantic in the face of
tremendous hazards should prove
an extraordinary stimulus for avia-
tion," he said. "The fight shows
that pluck, determination and good
equipment can overcome great
hazards.
From a purely technical view
point, however, the Bremens trip
contributed little to the science OF
aeronautics. 1t already has been
demonstrated that flights Of long
duration are possible. Once this
had been accomplished, there was
nothing further to be gained by
repetition" he said.
Huenefeld, Koehl and Fitzmaurice
faced dangers three times as great
as those which confronted Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh and others
who have flown in the opposite di-
rection, it was asserted. The ex-
pert described the westward cross
ing as "a much more serious prop
oSition than the eastward cross
ing"

est sons were in reality the ages
at which the families of these sons
left the patriarchal clans to be-
come the nuclei of new clans on
their own account.
Thus Adam did not beget Seth
at 130 years Of age; Seth was born
a good deal earlier, and had
numerous family of his own.
What happened during Adams
l30th year was not the birth of
a son, but the birth of a clan.
Adam died at 130, and, at the set
.tling up Of his affairs, his eldest
son went forth and founded the
clan of Seth, leaving the clan Of
Adam to flourish for 800 years, un-
til the name finally died out.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-04-21

The same history repeated itself
many times, as recorded in the
genealogical chapters of the Book
of Genesis.
Fields theory would call for
re-dating of the Old Testament,
and a great extension of the time
over the 4,O04 years allowed by
Archbishop Ussher's chronology.
Thus the antediluvian period
was from 5000 to 10000 years, and
the postdiluvian period from 1000
to 5000 years.
Abraham is dated 2090 B. c. and
the flood between $500 and 5000
B. c., while Adam lived at about
$4,000 to 10000 B. c.

PHILADELPHIA, April I'll
l. Methuselah didn't live 969
years. The clan or tribe he
founded lasted that long, bearing
his name until it died out or was
absorbed into another primitive
tribe. Similarly, Adams indivi-
dualage was not $50 years; that
was the lifetime" of his tribe.
This suggested explanation of the
apparently unnatural ages of the
Biblical patriarchs was advanced
before the American Philosophical
Society at its annual meeting here
today by Robert P. Field of this
city.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-04-21

Field was led to this hypothesis
by a parallel case which has been
more fully elaborated in Old Tes-
lament history. Israel was the
name of a person.
The tribe he founded was also
called Israel, and the name has
finally extended to mean whole
nation and race. In this sense,
Israel has lived something IKE
1000 years, and has beaten Me-
thuselah's record four times over.

IA probation, the apparently ad-

archs became fathers of their old

Former State G. 0. P. Head

By Times Special
FIT. WAYNE, Ind, April 21.-Trial
of Clyde A. Walb, former Repub-
lican State chairman, and Valen-
tine Weaver, former president Of
the First National Bank of La
Grange, Ind, for failure of the in
stitution, will open in Federal Court
here Monday.
Walb was vice president Of the
bank, but resigned along with Wea-
yer before the indictments were re-
turned, and after the charge was
filed resigned his political Office.
The trial will be before Judge
Walter Lindle yof Danville, Ill,
Judge Thomas w. Slick of the
northern Indiana district having
declined jurisdiction.
Venire of so Called
Sixty prospective jurors have
been summoned by Deputy United
States Marshall John Voegtlin.
Homer Elliott, former Government
district attorney, will defend Walb.
They conferred at La Grange Fri
day. District Attorney Albert S
Ward will prosecute the case.
Walb and Weaver are charged
with violating the national bank
ing law and conspiracy to violate
the same law. The indictment
consists of twelve counts. two of
which allege conspiracy and the
others aver specific violation of the
banking law
1t is alleged in the indictment
that Walb took over thousands of
dollars for himself and his con-
struction company-the Walb Con-
struction Company-and Weaver is
alleged to have converted money
he is supposed to have taken for
personal uses.
$4,000 in Forged Paper
Weaver is alleged to have hidden
the theftS from examiners by
writing forged notes and in some
instances throwing personal money
into the breach.
The forged paper in the bank at
the time it was closed was said to
have totalled $4,000. Other forgeries
listed in the indictment carry
amounts ranging from $500 to about
$4,000.
The banks doors closed Oct. "a,
1927, after ]. F. Utt. Federal bank
examiner, who served as temporary
receiver after Department of Justice
agents uncovered the alleged loss.
The case went before the Federal
grand jury at indianapolis, Dec. 81,
and the men we're indicted, Dec. 81.
Bill May Affect Case
Complications may arise because
of a bill in Congress that may be-
come law by Monday which carries
tie provision that this division ana
the Hammond and South Bend di-
visions shall constitute the northern
district of the Indiana Federal
Court.
If this goes through Ward will
represent the southern district and
a new district attorney the northern.
This, it is said, technically would
disqualify him for the trial.
Ward said the attorney generals
Office has indicated that since he
presented the case to the grand jury
he should try it. If this does not
stand the case probably will be post
poned until the northern district
appointee can become familiar with
the Walb-Weaver case.
