 These clouds are fooling us. We thought we had sighted land but guess not. We can stay up four hours more. We have been up twenty-four hours and twenty-five minutes now. A batteries are down: cant receive anything.
 This message came c6 minutes after one from the Southern Cross flashing the tense words Sighted land" It meant that the watchers ashore must curb their impatience awhile; for the men aboard the Southern Cross, watching the gauge which marked the diminishing sup ply of gasoline. it meant anxious peerine ahead to discern the lofty peaks of Oahu Island on which they plan to bring their land plane to rest.
 The crowd got the first thrill of the morning when Martin Jensen in the monoplane Aloha, with which he won second place in last summers Dole flight race from California. ap- peared through the morning haze, There was rush to the ropes at the edge of the field by the crowd of about 800.
 The mists of early morning rolled away, melted by the warm sun of Hawaii. All was prepared for the welcome to the four brave men, nearing the end of e.400 mile flight. Heading the welcomers was Cover nor Wallace R. Harrington of Ha- waii.

PENSION BILLS IN
 MASS. ARE VETOED
Governor Fuller Objects to
 Provisions

Boston June l R>-The legislative practice of establishing what is practically an indirect quasi pension list" was condemned by Governor AlNan T. Fuller today in his veto of two bills. One of the bills provides that if a member of the legislature dies while the legislature is in ses- sion his widow or next of kin shall receive the balance of his salary to the end of the. session. The other provides for payment to the widow of James w. kimball, who was clerk ot the house of representatives, of the balance of his salary to the end of this year..
 In his veto message on the gener- al bill the governor said:
 Although the act will eliminate the necessity or custom of passing bills Aenetiting the widow or next of kin Of deceased legislators in in- dividual cases, this fact of itself does not iii the slightest degree influence my opinion that payments of this nature are absolutely indefensible." /"
 He said the practice had begun in 1S79 and had developed into similar payments not only to the widow but to almost any dependent rela- lives not only of legislators but or any servant of the state.'
 These payments" he added, 'are clearly a wrong and an injustice to the general taxpayer. Upon first thought the gift of the salary which an official or any employe would have earned may seem to be a kind, gracious and benevolent act. But on the same line of reasoning any present Of money to any deserving individual could be justified" In his veto of the kimball bill he said:
 "L do not believe it was ever in tended that the legislature should have the authority 10 make gifts out of the public treasury

STRONGER MARKET IS NOTICED TODAY
Even Profit Taking Fails to
 Halt UpWard Trend
By STANLEY w. PEENOSIL Associated Press Financial Edlter)

N~eS''iAttA IuitpIJ
 New York, June P.-Profit- taking sales and sporadic short selling interrupted but failed to check completely the resumption of the upward price movement in to- days stock market, Extreme gains of l to nearly loi= points in the morning trading here cut down. and in lew cases converted into losses, by the wave of selling which swept through the market at midday, but prices headed upward again in the early afternoon.
 Midday selling may have been in fiuenced by the calling of about s10,0to,ooo in loans to strengthen bank reserves for the weekend statements. Out-of-town funds con- tinued to pour into the market and call money was in plentiful supply at the renewal figure of per cent.
 Rad1o was again the spectacular feature. The stock ran up to ela in the morning, dipped to cl4s. in the noon recession and then shot up to new high record at 2o1a,. an ex- treme rise of sI points. Case Threshng ran up points to s29 and dipped 10 SlSi. and Manhat- tan Electrical Supply climbed 5 points to new high record at s5. Midland Steel Products preferred, White Motors, Fox Film, Mont gomery- -WaEd, International Nickel and Standard Milling sold { to BE points above yesterdays final quota tions.
 ReneWed Weakness cropped out In Freeport Texas. which sagged 1 points to & new 1928 low at 6Sl, Wright Aeronautical fell from 1sl to l74 and Postun. American Interna- tional and Dodge Bros preferred. sold to points below yesterdays final quotations. Chrysler. General Motors and Studebaker also yielded ground rapidly when selling pressure Was applied.
 Despite the disappointing freight traffic reports Of the last few 1 months, a brisk inquiry developed for the rails on buying influenced by the belief that the last half of the year will make a more favorable comparison with the corresponding periods of the last two years than the first six months. Texas X Paci- 1 nc scored an extreme gain Of 1ola points, Canadian Pacific ran up nearly and St. Louis Southwestern. | n1
