FRANCO IS OUSTED FROM SPANISH
AIR CORPSFOR USING ITALIAN SHIP

Weather Reports for Ocean

De Rivera Had Counted on
Transatlantic Attempt in
Mative-BuiIt Craft.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, July 30.-Maj. Ramon
Franco. SPANS premier aviator and
transatlantic air hero, has been dis
missed from the Spanish air service for
offenses considered derogatory to
Spain's air prestige.
The dismissal was not the result so
much of undertaking a transoceanic
flight recently in defiance of purported
government opposition, as in undertak-
ing that flight in an Italian-built plane
and in accepting French weather reports
rather than those obtained by Spanish
observatory.
Both phases of the aviator's recent
attempt to reach New York from Al
cazares Airdrome, Cartagena, which
ended in . forced landing near the
Azores, were distasteful to Gen. Primo
de Rivera, Spanish premier, who had
counted on a fight achievement in
which every entering element should be
Spanish, and none foreign.
Spanish Plane Built.
The dictator had allowed to be con-
structed a huge four-motored Dornier
Wal plane at Cadiz. of Spanish mate
rial. and Spanish variation of the
Dornier design, the plane named the
Numancia, was made available to Mai
Franco and his three companions, and
1t was supposed up to the last minute
that they intended using 1t when they
took OF month ago.
On the day prior to departure the
plane was given test flight, and de-
veloped some sort of motor trouble.
Maj. Franco on the succeeding mouning
look OF in another Dornier plane, which
had been brought to Cartagena from
Italy.
On one occasion, the Spanish air
service reported the weather over the
Atlantic favorable for a flight to Amer
lea, while on the same day a French
aviator at Seville, Louis Coudouret, was
informed by the meteorological service
of his country, collaborating with
station on the Azores, that the weather
was not propitious.
Maj. Franco was made aware of the
discrepancy and postponed his fight.
Back to the Infantry.
Maj. Franco told the Associated Press
today:
The decree removing me from the
,ir service has been signed since July
"a. It has left me available for the in
fantry, however. was in that service
Maj. Franco was accompanied on the
flight which ended at the Azores by
Maj. Eduardo Callarza, Capt. Ruiz de
Aida and Sergt. Pedro Madariaga.

BAUMES LAW HELD
PRISON RIOT CAUSE
Two Recent New York Out
breaks Seen as Result of
Inmates Bitterness.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, July 30.-Mandatory
life sentences for felons convicted for
the fourth time were blamed today by
State officials for savage rioting in Clin-
ton and Auburn Prisons, staged almost
. week apart.
Both Gov. Roosevelt and Raymond
F. c. Kieb, commissioner Of corrections,
brought up the theory that the work.
ings of the Baumes laws resulted in a
feeling of bitterness on the part Of
prisoners causing them to fare up into
open mutiny.
Touching on the Baumes laws, the
governor said: They may be all right
as q deterrent to crime, but all wrong
as to the prisoners sentenced under
them.
THE sentencing Of persons for long
terms for crimes against property and
make an individual feel more bitter
than II he were sentenced for . crime
against persons"
Auburn Now Quiet.
Conditions at the Auburn Prison,
where two convicts were killed and four
escaped in rioting on Sunday. were re-
ported as returning to normal today,
although industrially everything was at
q standstill
Most Of the shops in which the in
mates worked were razed by the fire
and the prisoners were confined to
their cells.
The prison fare was of the simplest
kinds. the kitchen having been set afire
along with other buildings. The prison.
ers were taken to the mess hall in
small groups under heavy guard. There
was no disorder and the prison was
quiet. j..
Heavy details of police remained
about the prison. but the militia had
been demobilized.
Check Damages.
Onicials of the State Department Of
Correction have turned their attention
to discovering to what extent outside
aid was furnished to the 1,700 convicts
who revolted.
While police throughout the State
kept watch for the four convicts who
escaped during the riot, Warden Edgar
s. Jennings issued statement in which
first shot of the revolt was fired had
been brought into the prison from
outside. The trusty who used it, George
Small, was one Of those who escaped,
hence there was little likelihood its
origin would be determined for some
time.
Gov. Roosevelt today made public a
letter he had written to DR.. Kieb, State
commissioner Of correction, in which
he demanded the latter definitely Ak
the responsibility for the revolt at
Auburn Prison and the similar occur
renee last Monday at Clinton Prison,
Dannemorra.
The warden said there had been q
restlessness and nervous tension among
the convicts for some time and that
this had been intensified since the re-
volt Of the inmates Of Clinton Prison.
An inspection Of the prison property
showed that the industrial work Of the
institution would be held up for sew
eral weeks, the warden said.
Work has started on the restoration

InterdepartmentaI Board
Makes Recommendations for
Bigger Salaries for Officers.
NURSES ALSO NAMED
FOR ADDED INCOMES
First General Bill of Kind Since
1908 Will Have to Be Acted
Upon by Congress.

Pay increases ranging from So per
cent for officers to los per cent for
nurses, and covering the Army, Navy
Public Health Service, Coast and Geo
detic Survey, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard, were recommended today In
the report Of the Interdepartmental Pay
Board, under the chairmanship OF Rear
Admiral Luke McNamee.
The report lays down the proposal
that pay be based fundamentally upon
the grade held, and the increases are
designed to meet the changed standard
of the purchasing power Of the dollar
since the last general pay bill was en-
acted, In 1903.
Congress will have the final say as
to the scale proposed.
Salient Features.
Salient features Of the report follow:
Average percentage increases over
1908: Onlcers, So per cent; warrant
officers, 81 per cent; nurses, los per
cent, and enlisted men, 80 per cent.
This represents a percentage for ON
GERS over 1922 when some pay legisla-
ton was passed Of A per cnt and for
enlisted men Of about Is per cent.
All allowances Gncluding rentaD are
consolidated with pay into single item
designated as Pay" Rental Is de-
Quoted when an offlcer is occupying
Government quarters.
All distinctions and pay between Of
ficers with and without dependents are
abolished.
Pay is based fundamentally on the
I..kI.. ~nevonci1Niliftac nf the nffi.
GERS. as indicated by their grade.
The schedule prevents in so far as
practicable O junior receiving more pay
than a senior.
It Is based on the idea the pay
should be adequate under present eco
nomic conditions, and that pay Of the
higher grades should be commensurate
with the dignity and responsibilities Of
positions and comparable TO the re-
muneration Of successful career In
civil Life.
Federal commission service only is
used for pay purposes.
Exclude Complications.
All Of the other numerous classes OF
service including constructive service,
which has 50 complicated computations
in the past, are excluded for pay pur-
poses.

HOOVER ASKS ARMY
TO Do own CUTTING.
Makes General Staff Respon-
sibIe for Proposed Econ
omy Measures.

President Hoover. in his desire to ef-
feet economies in the annual cost of the
military establishment of the Govern
ment, is going to place the first re-
sponsibility for making this possible
upon the Army itself, it was made
known at the White House today.
The President has gone over this sub
ject very thoroughly and in painstaking
detail with Secretary Of War Good and
Gen. Summerall, chief of staff of the
Army, and he is understood to feel that
the staff officers of the Army will make
a conscientious effort to determine
where economies may be effected.
Has Confidence In Staff.
The President, despite inferences that
1t will be difficult to get the general staff
to agree to any reductions. has every
confidence in the ability of these men
to carry out his wishes. ,.
Moreover. the Presidents confidence
in the staff is sucn that he feels 1t
will actually welcome this chance to
make such review Of the entire eStab-
liShment.
There was no comment from the
White House today upon published
interview with Secretary Of War Coed
to the effect that while the general
staff would make the survey as re-
quested by the President, offlcials Of
the Army seriously doubted that such
a survey will reveal any opportunity
to curtail expenditures.
President Still Determined.
The impression at the White House
today was that the President feels Just
as determined in this matter as he did
last week when he first announced his
desire to economic in the cost of rum
ming the Army. He stated at that time
that this must be done If there is to be
any hope of further tax reduction In
the near future.
Aside from his known eagerness for
another tax slash, the President has
been represented as having reason to
Army, or some of their practices, are
becoming obsolete or not in step with
the modern science Of military.
Therefore the Presidents intimateS
feel that he has not changed in his
preference since his week end confer
ence with the heads Of the military
establishment. It Is thought, however,
that 1t has been strongly represented
to him by Army officials that 1t would
be very difficult to economic at the
expense Of this branch of the Govern
ment without reducing the Nations
national defense
Nevertheless, the President has made
known his wishes to the Army heads
and is going to look to them to make
a complete investigation. He has been
represented as having not the slightest
doubt that the officers of the general
staff will cooperate with him in this
endeavor to meet public need and at
the same time maintain an adequate
preparedness at the least possible cost.
