BREAK IN HOOVER'S FARM PROGRAM
 CRAVE CONCERN
BREAK IN PARTY LINES FORE CAST; COALITION DEMO
 SURGENTS SEEN

WASHINGTON, May 10, [P)-The animosities in the senate repubh- can ranks over the break in Hoov- CTS farm program flared to almost unprecedented exchange by Fess, party whip. against Borah, Nye and Brookhart whom he called Pseudo republicans"
 In a letter to Marshall Sheepey, of Toledo, Fess expressed grave .ecncern in the break of party lines saying Tt means complete coalition between democrats and the insur- gents" consequent arresting of the administrations policies.
 It is feared other breaks, more disastrous, might come. All the .Senators attacked made caustic re- torts to the Fess letter in which they asserted their freedom to vote lon any issue as they thought best to defeat the administration on the Idebenture plan in the farm bill. It Iis the first Hoover reversal by eith- Ter house of congress.

 OF SOME SUPPORTERS

WASHINGTON, May 10, (P)-The Hoover legislative program had rather rough going in the prelimi- nary stages of development but ad- miniStration officials assert they are far from discouraged as to the outlook of the situation.
 Now the executive must turn to the house to the house to undo the senate action and for approving of the export. debenture plan must look to the senate to support the idea of a limited tariff revision.
 The two factors enter. first action of the house and senate tariff com- ,nittees and will be followed closely by one another. The second fur nished baromeetric indications of the atmosphere in the capital.
 White House officials expect the house to eliminate the debenture senate measure in conference but even so the plan is likely to bob up again. Some supporters contend it belongs to the revenue measure since it deals with transactions with customs houses.

by johann Risticz and Wilhemn zim-
norman Of Germany. With George
Haldeman and his companion pilot
Stinson brought the world endurance
record without refueling to America
early last year, but was forced out of
the running when Italy and Germany
captured the honor in quick success
sion, boosting the mark to more than
IS hours.
The new plane has a theoretical en-
durance of about 80 hours, with some
possibilities held out by its designers
for test of 80 or 100 hours. It is
equipped with new Wright J-6 nine
cylinder, radial air-cooled engine, the
first one of the new line to be installed
in a plane.
To cut down the engines head re-
sistance and further save fuel, Stinson
has employed the new cowling for
radial air-cooled engines devised by
the National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics. The cowffng may save IS
much as 20 per cent of the planes

Eight hundred gallons of gasoline are
stored in the planes fuselage tanks.

hazardous flights across the unbroken
expanse of water In the South Atlantic,
and more than half dozen flyers have
made air history on long flights from
east to west, starting in Europe and

startled the world last July when
they struck out from Rome in their
Savoia plane with Brazil as their OBJ
jective.
They dared to fly without stop over
who had flown by easy stages. They
landed on the coast of Brazil in q
little more than SO hours after they
left ROME, setting a world record for
distance flown that has not yet been
broken. They flew more than 4,400
miles without stop.
The Argentinans plan to take off
about the middle of March, when con-
ditions over the South Atlantic, con-
sidered favorable during most of the
year. are at their best. After a flight
by easy stages from New Castle to
Buenos Aires by way of Miami, Havana,

Gliding has taken its place as an or
ficially recognized aerial factor In
American life and the National Glider
Association and the National Aero
nautic Association have formulated
rules for the licensing Of glider pilots
and the holding of national contests in
these motorless airplanes.
Warning against the use of home
made elders by inexperienced young
men and boys, however, has been
voiced by Edward S. Evans. president
of the National Glider Association, as
result of reports of accidents received
from various parts OF the country.
Mr. Evans called attention to the
fact that a glider is in every respect
full-fledged airplane without the motor
and that an inexperienced pilot is very
likely to take unnecessary risks igno-
sometimes death.
ut is worthy of comment" Mr.
Evans said, that none of the accidents
reported has come from districts en-
toying the advantages Of organized
gliding. Although our clubs and indi-
vidual members have made hundreds OF
flights recently, none OF them has
come to grief"
Suggests Designs for Giiders.
He advised that gliders be con-
structed in accordance with tested ana
safe designs, fully equipped with air
plane controls, and that either expert
enced airplane pilots or, better still,
professional glider pilots, be consulted
before attempts to glide are made.
Strict rules have been adopted cover
ing the licensing of glider pilots" Mr..
Evans said, land only licensed pilots
can enter contsts or try for records.
These rules have been approved by the
national contest committee OF the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association and that
group itself will license flrst-class glider
pilots, but only from the ranks of our
third and second class National Glider
Association pilots. Organized gliding IS
very safe, indeed. Independent work Is
dangerous. A.
Requirements adopted by the Natin. y
Glider Association for third-clasS glider
pilots license call for a fight in
motorless airplane or glider, of not less
than 80 seconds duration from a height
on a straight course. The requirement
for a second-class license is flight OF
not less than / minutes duration from
a height, including full right turn ana
a full left turn or an IS" turn.
The National Aeronautic Association
will issue first-class glider pilots licenses
only to holders of either of the lower
grade licenses who can demonstrate
their ability to fly in a glider for not
less than S minutes sustained flight
above the altitude of the starting place.
Rules for conducting the tests and for
timing the flights have been pro-
mulgated.
Glider Contests Announced.
The National Aeronautic Association
has authorized the following glider con-
tests for official records:
Duration, with return to point OF de-
parture.
Duration, without return to point Of
departure.
Distance, with return to point Of de-
parture.
Distance in an air line.
Altitude above starting point.

$50 STUDENT FLYERS
IN D. C. AIR LEGION
First Anniversary of Organization
to Be Celebrated This
Week.

The first anniversary of the District
OF Columbia Air Legion, to be celebrated
this week, will find the organization,
which is one of the first cooperative
flying clubs in this part Of the country,
with membership of $50 student fly
ers, score Of whom are taking flying
training in the legions new training
plane.
The legion was organized by 20 men
and 2 women who wished to learn to
fly, but who felt they could not afford
the expense Of flying course at a reg
ular school. They built up class Of
about so members and engaged Lieut..
w. A. Brooke. Naval Reserve flyer, to
teach the ground course.
The legion now is organizing its fifth
class in ground training. Last Fall the
members contributed funds for the
purchase of a Lincoln-Page training
plane and the first dual instruction was
begun at College Park, Md, last Mo-
venber. During November more than
so hours were flown. This was in
creased to 90 hours In December and
nearly 100 hours last month. Several
members now are ready for solo flights.
Ground class meetings, held at 8 pm.
each Tuesday, Thursday and Friday in
the legion headquarters. til Interna-
tional Building, 1919 F street, are open

"a hours when they failed to show up,
discovered the smoke of their fire and
few into the lake to rescue them.
A few days later, Ayres himself ran
out of gas with long range of noun
tains between himself and his base. He
was forced down in small lake. He
and his mechanic managed to keep
alive for several days. They still had
gallons of gas In the plane. With
this Ayres decided to strip the plane OF
all the excess weight he could manage
and fly 1t to as high an altitude as pos
sible to see if he could pick a route
through the mountains so that they
could walk back to their base.
While he was aloft another pilot, in
the cir searching for Ayres, saw his
plane and followed it down, bringing
him enough gas to get out.
The Great Northwest will be con-
quered by airplane. but not without
thrills and adventures which will match
or exceed any such achievements in the
past.
A Canadian flight officer who recently
returned from making a photographic
survey of the Hudson Straits by air
plane reports the Eskimos as having de-
veloped an avid interest in aviation.
"They will work whole week for a
short flight" he said.
The chief handicap to flying in the
Winter season up there is the fact that
IL and Is foot snowbanks pile UP before
the hangers nightly and have to be
shoveled away.
The snow-covered country makes
excellent testing grounds for para
chuteS, he reported, for landing in a
snowbank has less disastrous effects
than hitting hard ground.
Considering this information, a writer
for Canadian aviation, suggests that an
Eskimo probably will be the first
aviator to return to earth safely in a
parachute that failed to work!
