LONDON, September 29.-The Brit

ers interested in church work to- have
Mrs. Aimee Mcpherson barred from
Great Britain In a semi-off1cial state
ment it was intimated that the Ameri-
can evangelist will experience no dittl-
Guilty in obtaining entrance to this
country.
A slight loophole was left, however,
in case there should be change of
official policy, by an additional state
ment that responsibility in first in
stance will be with the immigration
officer, who has wide discretion in this
matter and is responsible to the home
secretary, who ultimately decides
whether any particular alien shall he
excluded or admitted into this country"
This statement follows an appeal
made to the home Office by those
opposed to Mrs Mcpherson, asking that
her landing be prohibited. on the gen.
eral ground that she is an undesirable
alien. whose presence will be harmful.
1t is understood that those making these
presentations submitted hostile opinions
Two of the men leading the fight here
against Mrs. Mcpherson are Rev. w. E.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, September 90
With the outlook promising. Edward
Schlee and William Brock, who made
themselves famous with flying exploits
including a trip from Detroit to Toxic.
were cruising around the air lanes oil
southern California today in an effort
to break the worlds record for sus-
tanned airplane flight.
Hopping off at Rockwell Field here
at :09 am, in their Bellanca Mono
plane, the flyers were reported late to-
day going fine. Their takeoff was
suspicious despite the heavy load and
the fact that due to mist they few for
five miles over the ocean before they
realized it and got going good. A mis-
hap doubtless would have plunged them
INTO the sea.
Schlee and Brock set out to beat the
record of IS hours and Is minutes
established by Johann Risticz and
Wilhelm Zimmerman, Germans, at
Oessau, Germany on July S, 6 and z,
1928. The Germans flew a Junker
plane equipped with a 280-horsepower
motor. The Americans used 800
horsepower Wright Whirlwind engine.
The total weight of plane and contents
was 6,15O pounds. 1t carried $50 gal
Ions of gasoline and 81 gallons of
lubrcating oil.
The fuel tor human consumption also
was bounteous. including four fried
chickens, two quarts of concentrated
soup, two dozen hard boiled eggs, two
quarts of coffee. four gallons of water,
100 sandwiches and several dozen
oranges and lemons. An S0-hour baro-
graph was sealed in the plane. sus-
pended in the fuselage by rubber bands
If all goes we'll until am. next Tues
day, the flyers will hold a new record.

REED FIXES LIMIT
ON CAMPAIGN WORK
Missouri Senator to Make
Few Speeches, Due to Pro-
fessionaI Emergency.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, September Ex-senator
, Willard E. Tydings, chairman of the
speakers bureau of the Democratic ma
! tional committee, yesterday made public
letter from Senator James A. Reed of
Missouri in which Senator Reed said he
would be obliged to limit his services in
the campaign to three or four speeches
because of professional emergency
which he could not escape.
LAS you will recall, the understanding
was that I should give to the campaign
substantially all of my time until cleo
ton day." Senator Reed wrote. "Ac-
cordingly we outlined a program which
would carry me into some 10 or IL
| States. and which was to begin at an
, carly date.
It am making this statement in or
der that you may understand the re-
, luctance I feel at being compelled
now to say that I must limit my SER
| vices to probably not exceed three or
| four speeches. I am under this COM
! pulsion because of professional emer-
gency."
I Emergency Not Explained.
! Senator Reed did not state specifical-
ly what the emergency was, but said ::
For some years I have been engag-
cd in an important piece of litiga-
! ton. Until recently there was no rea-
son to anticipate that my personal SER
vices would be necessary until some
time next Spring. But conditions which
I need not detail have arisen COM
/ pelling me to at once enter actively upon
preparation of the case. I have tried
in every possible way to defer the
work, but find postponement impossible.
Without indulging in over-statemeut
l can say that no one desires the tri-
umph of the Democratic ticket more
than myself. The election of Gov
Smith is of the highest Importance He
is man fully qualified for TIE great
! Office of President. In intellect ara
| governmental experience. in courage
, and honesty, he is not surpassed by any
man in public life
/ Upon the other hand. believe the
/ election of Mr. Hoover is full of peril
| for the country. y ~
| Calls Hoover Internationalist.
II believe Mr.. Hoover to be more Of
an internationalist than patriotic
American. I believe he is more inter-
| ested in the welfare of the British en-
| pire, where he chose to reside during
all of his adult life than he is in the
| welfare of the United States. I be-

here or sent here for the purpose Of

Senator Reed then went on to re-
| iterate arguments against Hoover which
he already has made in his speeches
| charging that Mr. Hoover sought thu
| nomination for President on the Demo
cratic ticket and changed to a Re-
publican in order to get Office.
Speaking of Mr.. Hoover politically,
Senator Reed said in his letter, ''it
seems to me he fits his own definition
! of prohibition, a noble experiment
Speaking for myself do not believe in
| experimenting with the fate of the
American Republic. and hence am OPP

CARUS| ADDRESSES
STUDENT MEETING
Chancellor Attends Opening
of National University
Sessions.

Friendliness and good fellowship
were described as two of the most i'm
portant attributes of the successful in
structor of mature students by Charles
F. CaruSi, chancellor of National Uni
versity and president of the District of
Columbia Board of Education, at the
opening of the National University'S
1928-29 sessions last night.
"A man undertaking to teach ma
ture students" Mr.. Carusi told the
1000 students present at the openine
assembly, should be so well estab-
lished in his particular profession that
he can afford to unbend in the class
room and encourage sentiment OF
friendly cooperation.
Mr.. Carusi claimed that the same
principle applied to the officers of an
institution of learning as well as to its
teaching personnel.
ITO treat the student body negli-
gently or with disrespect will not
only lose to the institution its greatest
asset-the deep and abiding good will
of its students and graduates-but will
inevitably tend to create an atmos-
phere of indifference or hostility, which
is very detrimental to educational
achievement"
In America, the chancellor declared,
amiability and friendliness have made
its influence felt advantageously in big
business and little business.
Following Mr. Carusi's address. sew
eral members of the university faculty
spoke briefly on their particular courses.
These included Judge Charles H. Robb,
associate justice of the Court of APP
peals of the District of Columbia and
professor of admiralty; Justice Jen-
nings Bailey of the District Supreme
Court and professor in equity at the
SCH II, and Judge Charles S, Hatfield
of the United States Court of Customs
Appeals, professor of agency.
Judge Peyton Gordon, another men,
Der of the schools faculty. made Of
fetal announcements concerning the
conduct of law courses during the COM
ing terms.
