16 minutes since the great ship de-
parted for Toxic carrying twenty

It was the fastest round-the-world

plished it in twenty-three days, Is

the ship had been forced to
land in the mountainous terri
tory of western New Mexico.

The passenger plane left Albu-
querque, N. NJ, at 1920 a. m. Tues
day with fuel supply sufficient for
seven or eight hours of flying.
Weather conditions we're poor and
apparently got worse as the ship
travelled westward. The district was
in the grip of occasional thunder
and lightning storms and fog was
reported in some sections.
When the plane failed to reach
Winslow, searching planes of the T.
A. T. were sent out from both
Albuquerque and here.

No trace was found of the pas
senger craft, however.
This morning seven planes started
out from Winslow at dawn and two
left Phoenix. A call was issued for
all private and commercial planes
to aid in searching the rough coun-
try.
The section in which the pas
senger ship apparently was forced
down is the most rugged Of the en-
tire air route west.
Mountains rise to 10000 feet from
the hardened lava beds that cover
the country.
Provided a successful landing was
made, those on the ship still face
the difficulty of getting out of the
almost impossible country,

BILL MENACED
BYFARM BLOC
Opposition Seeks Publicity
on Incomes to Determine
Protection Needs.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Senator Borah Hopes to
Sweep Whole Draft
Into Discard.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-With a
bipartisan farm bloc coalition
threatening to overturn the whole
structure of the new Republican
$600,000,000 tariff bill, the senate
half of President Hoovers special
relief session of congress reconvened
here at noon today to take up the
issue where it was dropped last June.
The House will return Sept. %.
While the opposition failed to
show its hand in the half hour of
the opening session, it brought for
ward a resolution proposing to
sweep away the confidential ma
ture of income tax returns during
the tariff debate, SO it might ascer-
tain how much corporations inter
ested in the tariff have prof1ted in
recent years, and consequently how
much, if any, tariff protection these
corporations need.
A resolution to suspend that por-
ton of the income tax law which
makes income tax returns secret
was offered by Senator Blaine
(Rep., Wis.,, member of the farm
bloc, and the idea of it immedi-
ately was indorsed by Senator Sim
mons, North Carolina, Democratic
tariff leader, who intends to work
out a coalition with the Republican
tariff structure.
Blaines resolution seeks to au-
thorize each member of congress to
get any tax figures OH corporations
from hte treasury department. 1t
also would authorize any member
Of congress to designate person
to examine returns for him.
The Blaine resolution was left
upon the Vice-P Presidents table for
the time being.
Farm Bloc Confident
Nine Republicans from middle
western states organized late Tues
day at meeting in the Office of
Senator Borah of Idaho. They ex-
pect more of their group to be pres
ent at a second gathering later to-
day, when they will decide how to
proceed toward eliminating the in
dustrial rate increases granted in
the Republican bill, and preserving
only the increased duties for agri-
culture.
Last June their movement was
defeated by a one vote margin, 38
to 80, with many absent.
Borah, who sponsored the move
ment at that time, says he has not
lost O. vote, and claims to have
gained "at least one or two" One
would enable him to sweep the
whole structure of the new bill into
the discard.
The farm bloc appears to have
massed it's full strength for this
fight for the first time since its in
stitution in 1922. The eight Repub-
licans who met with Borah include
Norris and Howell (Neb), Frazier
and Nye IN. d.. LaFollette and
Blaine CWis.), Brookhart Ia) and
Manchester Is. D.
In addition, Norbeck IS. d., john
son (Cal), Capper and Allen (Kan0,
Schall (Minn0 and Thomas qdaho)
are expected to join later. This
would give the group strength OF
fifteen Republican senators, who, ii
they joined with sufficient num-
Der of Democrats whose objects are
similar, would control a majority
of the senate.
Capper, head of the original farm
bloc, told the United Press he
thought the pending measure OF nc
benefit to agriculture.
