ENDURANCE FLYERS
IN AIR e HOURS
Brock and SchIee Drop Note
Saying Everything Is
"LoveIy."

BY the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, October 1.-Wil-
liam Brock and Edward Schlee, who are
attempting to establish new world
record for sustained airplane fight,
were still aloft at 1O;49 am. today,
completing their f1fty-second hour in
the air.
Brock and Schlee took off early Sat-
urday morning,
With less than "a hours to go to
realize their ambition of bringing the
record back to the United States, Brock
and Schlee, globe-trotting aviators,
piloted their Bellanca monoplane along
the air lanes above the city early to-
day.
In order to gain official recognition
the airmen must remain aloft an hour
longer than the record of IS hours and
Is minutes by ResticZ and Zimmerman,
German flyers, established last June.
Last night the flyers were chased
inland by a sea fog which forced them
down to 500 feet. where they kept under
the fog. Good flying weather was fore
cast for today.
At the take-off the plane carried $50
gallons Of gasoline, 81 gallons Of lubri-
CallnB OH ana d plenClIul IOOQ supply.
1t was said to have been the heaviest
load ever lifted by single-motored
plane, the gross weight being 6,150
pounds.
The take-off, featured by the neces-
sity of keeping on an even keel with
such load, was described as MASTER
full piece of airmanship. The plane
TAXED down a specially constructed
runway for seven-eighths of a mile,
rose very slowly and flew straight out
to sea, barely clearing the waves. To
have banked and turned at that low
altitude would have meant dive into
the ocean. Brock and Schlee held the
monoplane in a Decline course until it
gained sufficient altitude to bank and
turn, and then came back over the
city.
Yesterday the weather report for 48
hours, boiled down to one Word-fair,
was taken to the endurance flyers in
big chalk marks on the side Of plane
piloted by Lee Schoenhair and Lieut..
Van Dusen. Brock and Schlee waved
their thanks and went on.
They dropped note at midafternoon
saying everything was lovely"

RED CROSS FUND
EXCEEDS S3,5OO,ODD
Washington Donates S44,138
.
to Aid Hurricane
Relief.

Contributions to the hurricane re-
lief fund being raised by the National
Red Cross exceeded $3,500,000 today,
officials of the Red Cross announced.
The Red Cross is asking for minimum
of $5,000,000.
Washington has donated $44,138 of
its $4,000 quota, according to a report
by Victor b. Deyber chairman of the
local committee handling the campaign
for funds here. The Rotary Club re-
ported an additional 1888 today, bring
ing its total to $4,000.
National headquarters here con-
tinues to receive reports of widespread
suffering in Porto Rico. A message
received today from Henry M. Baker,
director of Red Cross relief on the
island. stated that of Porto Rico'c 4,198
schoolrooms, 1927 were totally de-
stroyed and 1921 partially destroyed.
Most of the damage was felt in rural
sections, where schools are placed on
high elevations to insure maximum
of air for the pupils.
In no disaster in which the Red
Cross has served has there been so
many people to care for at one time"
the Red Cross is facing one of the most
serious relief problems in its history.
Unless the relief fund is of size
commensurate with the magnitude of
the disaster, suffering will be widespread
throughout the island. 1t is under these
circumstances that the governor and
the people of Porto Rico are making
this earnest appeal to the people of the
United States"
Similar word was received from Flori-
ola in the shape Of telegram from
Gov. John w. Martin, asking:
May I urge that you do all possible
to impress upon Red Cross chapters and
the Nation at large the extreme need
Of help in the storm stricken area of
Florida. Apparently the devastating ef-
feet Of the Florida hurricane here is
not yet fully realized"
She is quoted in dispatches as saying
that Chairman Work had advised her
not to discuss the matter with news
paper men.
Named by State.
Mrs. Caldwell is not an appointee of
the national committee, but was elected
by the State Republican convention
just prior to the Kansas City national
convention. In view of this, any az
ton to remove Mrs. Caldwell would
have to be initiated through another
State convention, Virginia Republican
authorities assert. One Republican
leader in Virginia said today that no
time should be lost in getting a new
national committeeWoman for Virginia
whatever procedure was necessary to
accomplish that end He did not wish
his name used in connection with the
controversy, however
Hoover feels that he has spoken suf-
f1ciently already in issuing two formal
statements bitterly denouncing the let
ter and reiterating his repugnance over
any attempt to inject religion into this
campaign. He feels that the Caldwell
incident should stand as warning
to Others against adoption of any in
tolerant attitude by his supporters.

DAT BLACK LIST"
CASE TRIAL DENIED
Mrs. MaCfarIand Not to Be
Called Here on Charge,
e. Officials Say.

Denial that Mrs. Mary P. Mcfarland
OF Mountain Lake, N. j., has been sum-
moned here for trial before the National
Board of Management of the Daughters
of the American Revolution this month
on charges growing out of the black
lists" which resulted in the recent ex-
pulsion of Mr09delen Tufts Bailey of
Boston, was authorized officially today
in the face Of reports to the contrary.
Charges were filed against Mrs. Mac
farland, member of the Parsippanong
Chapter, before the Continental Con-
kgreSs met here last June, linking her
name with that of Mrs. Bailey as being
one of those opposed to the D. A. RS
Irrational defense committee.
Just before the June meeting Mrs.
Mcfarland pleaded for additional time
in which to prepare her answer, the
board continuing her case without fix
ing time for her hearing.
H. Ralph Burton. counsel for Mrs.
William Sherman Walker, chairman of
the national defense committee, ex-
planning the situation today, which is
unchanged. said: Mrs. Mcfarland has
not been summoned to appear for trial
at the october meeting" He added
that Mrs. Walker was preparing
statement in connection with reports
quoting Mrs. Mcfarland as declaring
she has no intention of submitting to
such trial.
Mr.. Burton indicated that Mrs. Mac
farland is Just trying to break through
the wall of silence, so as to get inside
and hurt the standing of the D. A. r."
The dispute over the black lists
arose when Mrs. Bailey declared that
the chairman Of the national defense
committee of the Massachusetts, D. A..
r., was circulating among the local
chapters lists of persons to be excluded
as speakers at chapter meetings because
of their dangerous and un-American
tendencies" and also lists of organiza-
tons ''interlocking with radical groups"
against which the local societies were
to be on their guard.

the public. This involves a legitimate
expenditure of money, all of which Is
publicly accounted for. Therefore, all
those who are interested in the issues
and the Republican party should assist
the committee in this work"
Treasurer Mutt said that 90,604 per-
sons contributed to the Coolidge cam
paign. and 15,725,016 votes were cast
for him in 1924. I'VE are asking that
one in Is of these voters join the
Hoover Curtis legion and contribute a
dollar or more to the campaign fund, =
he explained. The women are expected
to help in this work, he added.
Five Speeches Planned.
Hoover probably will make five IN
stead of three major addresses from
now until election day. In addition to
the addresses already scheduled for
Elizabethton, Tenn, New York City
and Boston. 1t now appears certain ne
will speak at some point en- route to
California the week before election.
and a final appeal to the voters on
election eve, from his nome at Stan-
ford University.
Hoover will leave Friday for the
mountains of eastern Tennessee for his
fourth major address of the campaign
next Saturday. A chain of radio sta
tons in the South will broadcast the
address.
His New York speech will be delivered
October 10, in Madison Square Garden.
The date of his appearance in Boston
has not been definitely fixed.
The speech en- route to the West
probably will be delivered in st. Louis,
the twin cities of Minnesota or some
strategic Midwestern metropolis. Sew
eral rear platform talks also will be
made during the trip.
The election eve address is expected
to be made from his home, without an
immediate audience present. 1t will be
broadcast over the radio to all parts of
the country.
Hoover spent another quiet Sabbath
with his family yesterday attending
Quaker services at the I street meeting
house and going for a short drive
through the park in the afternoon.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Hoover,
their son Allan. and neighbor, Mrs.
Charles WalcOtt.

CO PROS TEE OFF
IN BALTIMORE PLAY
Armour at Advantage on
Course-Hagan and Sara
zen Need Practice.
By WALTER r.. McCALLUM.

by stan correspondent Oh 1ac star.
BALTIMORE, Md, October play
ing over rain-soaked course, but under
skies that gave promise of a faster fair
way later in the week, IS of the leading
professional golfers of the United States
started today over the Five Farms course
of the Baltimore Country Club in the
quest fo- the title won for the last four
years by Walter Hagen. Only 80 Of
their number will survive the 36-hole
medal play test today. for the tourney
schedule calls for 36-hole qualifying
round on the opening day of the event,
with 80 to qualify for the 36-hole match
play rounds starting tomorrow and con-
Guiding Saturday.
Both Hagen and stocky little Gene
Sarazen, who won the title in 1922 and
1923, began the title fray today sadly in
need of practice over the testing new
layout of the Baltimore Country Club.
II miles from the heart of the Maryland
metropolis, in the Green Spring Valley.
Both have played the course but once.
and the scores they turned in for their
practice rounds yesterday augured Ill
for, their chances to survive the medal
play test today Hagen and Sarazen,
however, have the magic gift of saving
strokes and will doubtless qualify where
lesser men would founder and fall.
Armour at Home.
Tommy Armour professional at the
Congressional Country Club, the lone
Washington entrant in the competition
is thoroughly familiar with the course
and should have no trouble finding a
place in the 80 who will start the
match play rounds for Hagen's title to-
morrow. Armour played a practice
round through the drilling rain of
Espinosa of Chicago, to score a II.
Leo Diegel, Canadian open title hold
err, the only national champion here to
attempt to lift the crown from Hagen's
sleek locks. predicted today scores as
high as 1874 would qualify for the
match play rounds. The natural diff
ficulties of the course, its 1922 yards
of length and its tricky putting green's
all combine, in Diegel's opinion, to make
the course one of the hardest scoring
propositions the professionals have ever
seen. Its two strokes harder than
Oakmont." Diegel said just before he
started today. And I am sure a pair
of 3Cs will make the grade with strokes
to spare.
The Course.
Here is the way the course shapes
up in the matter of yardage and par:
No. 1-424 yards, par 4; No. 2-445
yards par 4; No. 3-376 yards, par 4;
