By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. %. The
Lockhced Vega monoplane, Yankee
Doodle, arrived at Mines Field from
New York shortly after p. m.
today.
The veteran transcontinental
craft appeared over the field at 2:10
p. m. and after circlng three times
Landed at 2:l5 p. m.
1t was presumed that the flight
from New York had been made with
out stop. In which event, the YAM
kce Doodle broke the east to west
nonstop record of Its. Maercady
and Kelley made in 1926.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25.-The ar
rival of the Lockheed-Ve mono-
plane, Yankee Doodle, engaged in y
New York to Los Angeles nonstop
flight, was expected momentarilT
this afternoon.
Crowds gathered early at Mines
Field, seat of the recent national
air races and at | p. m. several
thousand were scanning the skies
for the appearance of the veteran
transcontinental craft.
At 1:l7 p. m the Yankee Doodle
had been in the air exactly "a hours,
having lost any hope it may have
entertained of beating its own trans
continental flight record of 1S hours
and 5S minutes.
Since that record was established
in west to east flight the plane
-, 4, L
! east to west record, now held by
! Its. Macready and Kelley.
The army flyers crossed the coun-
try in 26 hours and 80 minutes iil
| 1926.
Aviation experts here pointed out
| that wind conditions made the east
tc west flight more difficult than
the west to east.
The Yankee Doodle, piloted this
time by Captain C. B. D. Collyer,
is making its third trans-continental
trip.
Art Goebel took it from here To
New York to establish the present
speed mark and then attempted to
fly it back in the nonstop derby
of the national air races. Lack of
fuel caused that nonstop attempt to
end in Arizona.
Harry Tucker, owner of the plane,
has been a passenger on each of
the Yankee Doodle's S journeys.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25-Somewhere
high up over the mid western prai-
ries, the Lockheed-V Vega monoplano
"Yankee Doodle" sped today to-
wards the Rockies and its greatest
hazard today on an attempted nom
stop flight from Atlantic to Pacific.
The trim white monoplane took
off from Roosevelt Field, l.. l., yes

load of $50 gallons of gasoline and
25 gallons of engine oil.

Democratic Chieftan Re-

Boston.
BY PAUL r. MALLN
United PlGss Staff Correspondent


BOSTON, Mass, Oct %. - Gov.
Alfred f. Smith left ringing cry
against what he called the reaction
ary element of the Republican par
ty in the capital of this vital cleo
toral state and set out today for
l2-hour campaign through Rhode
Island and Connecticut.
The Democratic nominee carried
with him the memory of a great re-
ccption as he started ON his second
phase of the all-important eastern
seaboard battle.
His itinerary was to take him
through Blackstone, Mass, into
Providence, Rhode Island, by motor
and thereafter by train through
Hartford, Waterbury, Derby, Shell
ton, New Haven, Bridgeport and
South NOrwalk before he arrives in
New York at l0:30 p. m.
His Boston appearance was an as
founding and pleasant experience
from which his friends drew deduc-
tions that he could easily carry the
state. The Boston newspapers, Re
publican and Democratic, compared
the reception to that of Colonel
Charles \. Lindbergh whose demon
straton was up to this time unsur-
passed.
Police Helpless
The fact that he was saved from
1,n vol, L. 4
curious crowds was a miracle at
which even the Boston police force
marVeled. They tried to protect him
and Mrs. Smith during the parade
and they were equally unsuccessful
in their efforts to curb the secthing
throngs at the Arena where he
spoke.
Twenty persons were in the hall
with sandwiches nine hours before
! he spoke and six hours later the
outside crowds began bulging
! through the glass windows and
! doors. Many suffered from minor
cuts and bruises. Half a dozen wo-
men tainted.
In his speech last night at which
! $4,000 persons were massed in the
arena and 1900 more were connect
ed at two other halls by loud speak
ers, Smith made his answer to the
Madison Square Garden speech OF
Herbert Hoover, his Republican op
ponent. He took as his tevt Hoov
er's promise to "use words to con
vcy our meaning, not to hide it. -
Wilson'S Daughter Presides
The candidate contended Hoover 5
attitude ON farm relief, prohibition
and water power was Ga use OF
language to cover up something. y
He quoted as advocates of his plat
| form upon these issues, Former Pres.
ident Roosevelt's gubernatorial cam
paigns in New York.
He pictured to the audience the
possibility of Edmund H. Mac Hold
New York Republican chairman, sug.
gesting to Hoover in a New York
hotel room the possibility that q
"socialism' charge might be the
best answer to Smith s program.
The nominee again called atten
[ tion to Chairman Work s renewal of
the Sinclair Salt Creek oil lease
signed when Work was secretary of
the interior last February.
Smith was introduced by Mrs
Frances B. Sayre, daughter of Wood
row Wilson. She acted as perman.
/ ent chairman of the meeting. In.
Producing Smith she quoted Wilson
as saving:
"Thc Democratic party is the enc
party which has continued unbroken
from the beginning. 1t is never the
party of the past but always the
party of the present and the future

Whether Hoover SAYS anything
further may depend upon just how

what Norris says in his speech Sat
urday night, formally declaring for

the late Senator LaFollrttc in 1924,
especially in the northwest. He said
lIoover's Madison Square Garden
speech "slappcd every progressive
minded man and women in America
in the facc.' He thereby raised the
issue directly.
1t gives Norris an immediate wca.

Hoover, which he will set forth in
detail in his Saturday night speech.
Eoth Republican and Democratic
leaders are studying the probable
effect of Norris support of Smith
and making their own spcculations

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-!i"rbcrt

prohibition modification, farm re

The Republican candidate today

candidate ridiculcd the "socialistic -

tion TO the harsh criticism of his
Madison Square Garden speech by
Senator George Norris of Nebraska,
independent Republican leader, who
has declared for Smith.

for him TO take up the issue again on
his own behalf in the final campaign
speech he will make at st. Louis on
November ON his way west. He

publican candidate may decide to
Irnore Smiths reply. He has de
clincd heretofore to be drawn into

Smith, it appears, is going TO en-
} phlsizc the ".socialistic attack.
! He had been waiting since the out
set of the campaign for tangible
target, for Hoover to say something
directly about his program. He now
has it. He considers the last few
