MERIT Of BL|MPS
IS HIT IN SENATE
Bingham Says "Best Minds
of Army Also Favor Drop
ping Balloon.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate was told today by SEN
ator Bingham, Republican, of Connecti-
cut, its aviation authority, that "opin-
ions of the best minds" of the Army
and the War Department favored
abandonment Of blimps and balloons for
observation purposes.
Army officers" he said, hesitate to
state their opinion in public for fear of
embarrassing brother officers who might
be deprived of jobs If balloons were
dropped from the service, but In private
that is their opinion"
The Senator was speaking In support
OF committee amendment to the War
Department appropriation bill by which
Scott Field in Illinois, which is de-
voted largely to balloons and blimps,
would be eliminated from appropriations
for construction.
The proposal is opposed by Senators
Deneen and Glenn. Republicans, I'LL
noiS, and, Halves, Democrat, Missouri.
who have been waging a vigorous fight
against its adoption.
The opposition to this amendment, /"
Senator Bingham declared, "is q mat
ter OF politics in local communities. who
hate to see their friends at Scott Field
harmed, and in the Army ITSELF"
Referring to statements Of Senator
Halves that the Navy could not under
stand why balloons should be taken
from the Army service, Senator Bing-
ham declared that "for work over water
the dirigible is necessary adjunct"
but that for work over land is "unnec-
eSsary."
The fight of the Graf Zeppelin last
Summer" he said, demonstrated the
usefulness Of such craft in flights over
water. Damage to the Zeppelin was
repaired in fight and she was able to
complete her fight successfully In fast
er time than that required by steamers. !"

The river evidently was in the habit
of overlooking during the wet season,
from December to May. for on the
banks could be seen small shacks raised
6 or 8 feet from the ground on foun-
dation of stills. AS the distance to
Guayaquil lessened, the number of these
habitations increased, and numerous
businesslike river structures were
noted. The city apparently lay just
ahead.
Almost before those on the cruiser
were aware of their approach the Cleve-
land became surrounded by suffering
motor boats, decorated with American
flags and occupied by gesticulating citi-
Gems of the port.
It was an informal fiotilla of welcome,
come to escort the goodwill mission to
its anchorage off the first port of call
in South America.

U. S. ENJOYS to Preparations
Conference Are Silent on
Landing in France.

PARIS, February 81. p. Nor
gan, Owen D. Young and Thomas
w. Lamont, the American repara-
tons experts, arrived in Paris this
afternoon aboard a special train
from Cherbourg.
BY the Associated Press.
CHERBOURG, February 81. p.
Morgan, Owen D. Young and Thomas
w. Lamont, American reparations ex-
perts, disembarked from the S. S. Aqui-
tania this morning and Immediately
boarded a special train for Paris, where
they will attend the impending repara-
tons conferences.
They showed themselves also to be
experts in discretion. They managed
to get aboard their train without reveal
ing anything to correspondents, who
met them, except pleasure at the polite
reception and their desire to avoid
talking.
The Americans had expected to have
two cars attached to the special boat
train, but the French had a four coach
train all ready to carry the delegates
and their staff of "a to Paris. MeSsers.
Morgan, Young and Lamont had a pri-
vate car to themselves and their suite
was in the other two cars. The fourth
car was diner, since the party will ar
rive in Paris only by midafternoon.
The police commisSary, in full uni
form, boarded the steamer to offer his
services in getting the party ashore
promptly, but the delegates merely
thanked him for his thoughtfulness and
went to breakfast. Their passports
were without special visas and they
asked no favors except privacy.
When newspaper men appeared Mr..
Young limited discussion of the big
problem that brings him to France to
Il am merely business man, so have
nothing to say to the newspaper men"
Mr.. Morgan, even more shy, told Of
ficials: Il wish even to avoid the pho
tographers," and he almost succeeded
by standing behind Mr.. Young, who
was hardly large enough to hide him,
when the delegates passed battery of
cameras clicking like machine guns on
their way along the pier to the train,
There probably would not have been
any pictures at all If French officials
had not organized reception commit
tee and the delegates had to pause an
instant to listen to the greetings and
to express their thanks. The delegates
also were greeted by Fred B. Bate, sec
rotary of the American section OF the
Preparations Commission and American
Consul Samuel H. Wiley.

SCORES ASK POLICE JOBS
OF HESSE FOR INAUGURAL
None to Be Added to Force Except
Men From Other Cities, District
superintendent Saws.

Scores Of persons have made appli-
cation for appointment as special
policemen to serve during inaugural
week, taking 1t for granted that Maj.
Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of
police, will have such a squad to aug
ment his uniformed force while the
city Is filled with visitors.
Maj. Hesse already has announced
that no such addition to the force will
be made. He expects to call upon the
Baltimore force for 200 uniformed men
for duty March 4, while 100 detectives
from various parts of the country will
come here for duty.
1t Is the intention of Mai. HeSSe to
have only uniformed policemen on duty
outside the curb line Of march, feeling
that only such men will be able to per-
form effective service.

Ecuador, land of the Equator, having
enjoyed recent touch of Americaniza-
ton at the hands of Yankee economic
experts. was ready to demonstrate her
friendship for the United States In a
most lavish way.
The rugged tropical domain, once
ruled by q valiant Inca and now pre-
sided over by an able descendant Of
Ecuador'S aboriginal population, was
elated that it had been placed at the
head of the list of South American
countries to be visited by the Hoover
goodwill mission.
Earlier plans to stop at Panama and
Colombia had been Cancelled because of
the long detour eastward that would
have been necessitated. The schedule
already had been postponed whole
and a further postponement of two or
straight across the open sea from Costa
Rica to. the northwestern hump" OF
the Southern continent.
President-elect Hoover and his party
learned much Of Ecuador's political and
economic situations in conferences with
American Minister Gerhart Bading and
two Ecuadorian officials prior to the
landing at Guayaquil Minister Bading
and the Ecuadorian representatives,
Senior Colon Eloy Alfaro, minister for
his country at Panama, and Finance
Minister Tejada, were on board the U.
S. S. Cleveland when the cruiser met
them aryland in the Gulf of Guayaquil
to take the Hoover party 10 miles up
the Guayas River to the port.

H0R|V|NC SEES 4 BRIGHT FUTURE
 VALDEZ GREEK
PIONEER MINING MAN PRE- DICTS INCREASING PRO-
 DUCTION

The Valdez creek placer holdingc of John Carlson and associates are making a splendid showing this season, according to w. s. Horn ing, pioneer mining man of the An chorage district, in an interview appearing in the Anchorage Times
 Accompanied by MT. Carlson he brought in 75 pounds of gold, the greater part of which came from the drift workings, and the remain der from the bench ground which is being worked by the hydraulic method. The gold, which is about half the amount the company eX- poets to take out this season, is now on display at the First Nation al Bank, of Anchorage. The gold

to the district over the snow were not sufficient for a larger number of workers than are now there, nearly all of the work being done by the little group of men who are interested in the ground and leas- eS.
 MT. Horning and his associates are hopeful of having a road built which will make it possible to move supplies into the district during all seasons of the year Such road, it is believed, is warranted, in view of the very promising future which the district has Under present conditions summer travel between the railroad and Valdez creek is confined to a pack trail, thru swamps and across a cable tram. Engineer Spach, of the Alaska Road Commission, visited the dis trict recently for the purpose of laying out an airplane land field, and it is the hope of mining men that his investigation of conditions will result in a decision to build a road in the near future.
 Placer operations in the district are not limited to Horning and his associates. There are a number of smaller outfits at work including Laughing Ole, whose discovery sev- eral years ago started quite stam> pede into the district, and several other white men. There also has been some work done this summer by Indians, a small group of them
Seward daily gateway., 1929-09-07

contains quite number of nuggets 3of various sizes.
 Mir. Horning, who has devoted lthe best part of his time in Alaska Ito hard rock mining, became inter- ested in the Valdez creek placer ground this year, having taken over the Sidney Black interest in the proposition. Black is now giving his attention to quartz mining at the Mabel mine, having acquired an interest there from Horning.
 MT. Mornings experience on Val deg creek this season has convinced him that the district is a very rich one, with only a small part of the gold recovered. He estimated that there is still about $50,000,0O0 in the ground, in placer gold, and be believes there is some good quartz there in addition Some develop Iment work is now being done or claim located by the late Lew Pow less and the showing thus far made lis regarded as very encouraging. A tunnel has been driven into the hill ia distance of about 30 feet and it is the intention to sink at the end of
 the tunnel.
 MT. Horning and his associates .are drifting in the creek workings
 beyond the point where the old company suspended work a num- Der of years ago. Some very rich ground is being opened up this sea- son in this drift, the paystreak being about Is feet wide and six feet in depth.
 Hydraulic operations, on the bench ground which was discover ed a year or two ago, are being car- rled on with small equipment this season but it is the intention to get two large giants next summer and to increase the size of the sluices. which will make it possible to carry off all of the boulders encountered and to do more than three times the amount of work that can be ac- complished with the present equip ment. Virtually all of the equip ment needed for the expanded op- erations is now on the creek, being part of the old companys outfit, and there also is plenty of water available.
 The operations are limited in ex- tent this season, largely for the reason that the supplies shipped in
Seward daily gateway., 1929-09-07

having taken out enough gold this summer to meet their immediate after which they sus- pended work and moved over to the railroad. They will resume their mining when they find themselves in need of more money
 MT. Horning believes the district is a good one in which to prospect, and the area is almost without linn it. He plans to spend the remain der of the season in the Willow creek district, devoting his atten- tion to his quartz holdings.

 ON TAX REFUNDS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25, (R- The Senate voted that public hearing be held by the Treasury Department on tax refunds in cases involving more than ten thousand dollars as provision for the first deficiency supply bill. which carries seyenty-fiye millions for tax refunds. The Senate then approved the deficiency measure, which besides money for tax re- funds, carries twenty-four million for the Presidents use in prohibi- ton enforcement. The House all ready passed the supply bill. but since it had not considered the prohibition item. the increase for tax revision. and other reyisions, the bill goes to conference for the adjustment of the diffe .ences.
