WASHINGTON, Feb. 2,
President Coolidge today was told
by Commander C.. ID. Burney, Il
member of the British parliament,
that plans had been made for in
auguratiOn in September of a req
ular air service between London
and New York in which a fleet
of six gigantic lighter than air
craft will fly regularly over the
course blazed by Colonel Lind
bergh.
Burney, who said he was de-
signer of a plane as large as the
steamer Mauretania and now
building in England, said that the
ship would make the passage
from London to New York in SO
hours and the reverse way in AZ
hours.
Burney said the ships would be
equipped with six Rolls Royce
motors, these to be replaced later
by Diesel motors. He said the
cost of passage will be $4OO and
that a ship would leave London
every other day and New York
on alternate days. The company
expects the ships to land in either
Montreal or New York depending
on prevailing winds.
In addition to 100 passengers
the airships will be able to handle
ten tons of freight or mail, Bur-
ney said.

Oil Deal
DENIES POWER
Challenges Right of Senate
Committee to InterrO-

WASHINGTON Feb. P)-Alter-
nately flashing fires of temper and
disarming smiles, Robert w. Stewart,
chairman of the board of Standard
Oil of Indiana, defied the senate oil
committee today, but repeatedly de-
MED that he profited dollar from
the now celebrated Continental Trad
ing company's transactions.
He will be recalled tomorrow and
if he persists refusal to answer ques-
tions which he contends should be
answered to judge and jury the
committee will be faced with the de-
ciSion as to what steps should be
taken looking to his punishment for
contempt. A decision which it prompt
~ mede four years ago in the case
Of Harry F. Sinclair, now under court
sentence.
For more than two hours To-Day the
tall, thick set, gras' haired Chicago
oil operator, himself once lawyer,
parried questions, defended himself
with loud voice and emphatic manner
ir connection with various oil trans
actions, shot thrusts at the pro ted
tor, Senator Wals: of Montana, and
time and again confessed inability to
remember many details the cornnltttee
sought. Then suddenly, as it ap-
peared he was to o. excused, the
youthful committee chairman, Ger
aid p. Nye of North Dakota, put TO
h'al two questions which he elected
ne. to answer. They were whether
he krew who received any CT the
liberty bonds bougnt by the Cont
mental from its oil profits and Wheth-
er he he'd discussed any OF the Con-
tinental bond transactions with SIN
clair.
Previously, Stewart had declined to
give any hearsay testimony when ask
ed if he had heard that $233,00O of
the bonds went from Sinclair to Al
bert B. Fall after the lease OF Tea
pot Dome and apparently he had
gotten away with that decision.
1t was nearly an hour afterwards
that Nye asked if he knew anyone
who did get Continental bonds. Stew
art hesitated as he leaned back IN
chair
"I1l say this he replied II have
never handled any of these bonds
and never given any of them to any
political party or to any official OF
the United states Of any state or
of any territory that's as far as ]
can 60"
"Have you discussed any of these
bond transactions with Harry F. Sin
