BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, April 27.-A
funeral train bearing the body of
Floyd Bennett and a relief plane
carrying the German and Irish
crew of the Bremen sped toward
Washington today.
The plane carrying the Atlantic
fliers left Lake st. Agnes, Quebec,
early this morning, and by l p. m.
had passed over Newburgh, N. Y,
headed directly south down the
Hudson River.
Clarence D. Chamberlin, who ac-
companied the Bremen crew in
another plane on the fight from
Murray Bay, landed at Hartford,
Conn.
He announced that the plane car
rying the transatlantic fliers would
proceed direct to Washington with
out refueling.
While the plane was being re-
fueled Chamberlin wen to a micro
phone set up by National Broad
casting Company and station VITO
and made a brief address announce
ing the f1iers' plans.
Chamberlin left for ashington as
soon as his plane was refueled.
Rest With Heroes
Bennett, Navy warrant officer,
who flew across the North Pole, was
to be buried at Arlington National
Cemetery in the Virginia hills Just
across the Potomac River, with
many heroes of the past.
And Baron Gunther Won Huene-
field, Major Fitzmaurice and Capt.
Hermann Koehl, westward trans
Atlantic fliers, for whose succor in
Labrador Bennett gave his life, were
to lay wreaths and flags upon his
grave.
The train will arrive at 8 D. m.
from Quebec, where Bennett died
Wednesday Of pneumonia.
The plane carrying the noted
aviators will arrive probably an hour
later.
The ocean fliers will hold them
selves almost incognito in respect to
the dead.
Pay Respects Quietly
They will pay their honor at
Bennett's grave, quietly return to
the city and leave tonight or Sat-
urday to await the acclaim of New
York's thousands on Monday.
The German and Irish airmen
were to be escorted here by three
Army planes from Boiling field.
The welcoming planes were to meet
the relief plane at New York or
Albany.
Rain started falling here this
forenoon, and the forecast was for
continued drizzle this afternoon as
the cortege goes to the grave.
Navy rules limiting the homage
that can be paid an enlisted man
were lifted in Benefits case, so
that the official funeral could ex-
ceed anything since the Navy buried
George Dewey and Fighting Bob'
Evans.
Coolidge Not to Attend
Eighty petty officers as body bear
ers and six naval lieutenants as pail
bearers were to meet the train
bearing Benefits body.
President Coolidge, unable to at
tend the funeral because of BUSH
ness, had a White House limousine
sent to the station to carry Ben
nett's widow.
At Ft. Meyer Chapel, some 200
bluejackets, all that were available
in the District of Columbia, were on
hand to join the cortege into Arl-
ington Cemetery.
The escort of twenty-four blue
Jackets that was to meet the funeral
train was drawn from the Presi-
dents yacht, Mayf1ower.

RELIEF FIGHT POLITICAL
BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING
Times Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April civil
liam H. Settle, president Of the In
diana Farm Bureau Federation, was
branded inferentially as the grand
cyclops of the McNary- Haugen lob
by" by Representative Aswen OF
Louisiana, Thursday, in an assault
upon the motives of the Midwestern
leaders who have been here all
winter demanding a farm relief bill
containing the equalization fee pro-
vision vetoed last year by President
Coolidge.
ASwell declared that the McNary-
Haugen lobbyists didn't want real
farm relief, but wanted a bill thai
the President could veto so that they
might nominate Frank Lowden or
Vice President Dawes, preferably
the latter, for the Republican nomi-
nation for President.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-04-27
Threatened by Lobby

Settle has declared for Senator
Watson in Indiana and the charge
has been made that Watson sim
ply is trying to hold the Indiana
delegation in line for Lowden OF
Dawes.
Five members of the Agriculture,
Committee, Aswell declared, who
wanted real farm relief legislation
that the President could sign, were
threatened by the lobby, led by
Settle and scared back into line
fore an equalization fee bill. They
include Representative Purneu oi
Indiana, ranking Republican mem
bers of the Agricultural Committee
it is believed.
+The members Of the lobby burst
into our committee room one morn
ing, led by the grand cyclops from
Indiana. and he talked out loud SC
every one could hear him, and told
the strongest of the five Congress-
men that if he did not get back
into line he (the cyclops) would GO
out into his district and hang his
hide on a fence rail-" ASwell said
Aim at Coolidge
Representative Clarke Of New
York, who is member Of the
agricultural committee, broke in to
confirm Aswell. There were three
members of the committee who
heard that statement" Clarke said
Aswell resumed:
"The one man the grand cyclops
named did not get frightened, but
the other four dashed back into the
reservation, ard said it was all a
mistake, and said, give us the
equalization fee or give us death.
II am told the lobby has in
Structed these gentlemen, whom
they own, to stand up here today
and tomorrow and the next day
and boldly declare their independ-
ence Of a loSby, and you will hear
from them.
1.-THE lobby wants to pass a bill
that will put the President in a
hole. You tried that last year and
he dynamited you and the whole
bunch"
The other members to whom
Aswell referred, besides Purnell, are
said to be Representatives Adkins,
Illinois; Williams, Illinois; Ander-
son, Minnesota, ard Thompson,
Ohio.
