 He barely got up from the end of the long transatlantic runway and missed the telephone wires at the edge of Curtis field by inches. Soar ing safely then he disappeared over the sound to begin shutting back and forth between Boston and Wash ington.
 Jensen. transformer and flying in- structor. first won general fame when he came in second to Arthur Gobel in the tragic Dole air race to Hawaii. Later he started to taxi a movie lion from California to the east coast in a plane. was forced down in the desert and was missing for three days.
 The plane he went up In today was the one which Emil {Hard Luck) Burgir used last fall in fu- tile attempt to win the non- stop transcontinental air race of the na- tional air derby.
 Jensen's flight, besides being an attempt to set new endurance record was also a laboratory test of Lis theory that planes can be op- erated on ordinary high test auto- mobile gasoline. The flight was sponsored by an oil company.
 Miss Fillmore Smith was to have gone aloft this morning in an at- tempt to beat the woman'a endur- ance record. hut failed to arrive ,t the field. Miss Viola Gentry an- nounced today that she would make a try for this record tomorrow aft ernoon. and Jensen promised that he would return here to meet her in the air and esort her through the clouds

NAVY NEEDS MEN IN HUGHES OPINION
Admiral Says Decrease in Personnel Handicaps l
 Fleets Efficiency ]

Washington, Jan. 20 M-Ths sas listed personnel of the navy, outside of its aviation branch. has been res duced to a point where it is seriously affecting the efficiency of tho United States fleet. in the opinion of Admirs al Charles F. Hughes. chief of nas val operations.
 Testifying before . house suhs committee on the naval approprias tion bill, Admiral Hughes described the present situation as acute and declared an increase to 8S.500 from the existing authorized strength ol si.000 men would be necessary tO meet requirements during the nexk fiscal year.
 He said the noE-aviation enlisteG personnel had been reduced by 7.00e men since 1923 through . curtails ment of 2,000 of the total strengtk and an increase of 5000 men ass signed to aviation.
 AS new ships have been coms pleted or old ones recummissioned.~ he added, crews have been provid. ed for them by 6ecommissioning older vessels and by reducing the crews of vessels already in commits sion."
 Now. however," he continued. 'the number of ships to be main. tained in commission cannot. con. sistently with the purposes and re- quirements of the navy. be further reduced. Therefore, as 1t becomes necessary to provide crews for new construction there is but one metb- cd remaining under the Limitations of S4.000 men-that of reducing enc listed personnel allowances of ves- sels in active operation.
 This is fairly unsound proce- dure. as g ship should add to the fleets strength from the moment t joins up without lessening the ef- fectiveness of the other ships by draining them of men required to man their guns and run their en- zines. Crews of spec,al classes o9 vessels already have been reduced below that essential for economical operations. This process has 0oW run on until 1t is seriously aAocl1n8 the efficiency of the operat3oa c the United States fleet"

He had previously declined the suggestion of mer prominent in the party that he be candidate for state senator.

CT of party strength. an efficient or ganizer and an excellent leader. The town committee will probably be called to meet Friday night to nc. cept the resignation and elect Attor- ney Harry M.

Bartlett recently made [ public statement to the effect thai he is not now interested in the DO. sition. This left Ginsburg a cleal field.
 The choice of an aldermanic can. didate will lie betwee, Councilman Bartlett and Councilman w. Spauld. ing Warner, both of whom are rec. ognized as leading members of the council.

VERMONT SUSPECT
 NOT BRIDE SLAYER
Lumber Camp Clue to Hingham Killer Is Dis-
 counted by Authorities

White River Junction. Vt., Jan. 80 UP)-Although man held here told police that he was Chris tophere Cullen and that he killed his wife in Hingham. Mass. last Friday. authorities placed little cred ence in his story.
 Police believed that the man, who was arrested here yesterday and held on suspicion. was Harry Bril- land. who disappeared from his home at 3GS East Eighth street, New York city. several days ago. In- formation substantiating this belief was received from New York last night from a party who declined to give his name.
 Authorities pointed to the fact that whereas Cullen weighed about 175 and was about feet. [ l-2 inches tall. the man held here weighed 157 and was 5 feet, 10 1-l inches tall.
 They expressed the belief that the man was mentally deranged and that he had decided to pose nx Cullen after reading newspaper stories of the Hingham murder.

Peoples Forum

Charbonneau, N. d.
Editor, Tribune:
There is q good deal In papers
about the drunken drivers. Accord
ing to Robbins Stoeckel. the Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles In Counec-
ticut. 1t isn't the drunken driver, at
least not the driver who is really
"soused"-it is the driver who Is still
sober but just has q drink or two
roaming around through his anatomy
and monkeying with the adjustment
Of his nerve controls. After he is
drunk, Mr.. Stocked says, he is COM
parasively harmless because he gives
everybody warning by the way he
pilots his webbing chariot down the
highway. The driver to dread Is the
fellow who Is sober enough to drive
down the street straight as an arrow
but drunk enough to do the wrong
thing at the right time to make q
funeral.
When our courts get "wised up" to
the fact that the man who chooses to
turn a single swig Of snake Juice
loose to ramble around amongst the
delicate mechanisms Of his body.
chooses to make himself q greater
menace to the safety OF the public
than the man v'ho drinks himself
under the table, the penalties that
now seem severe will be recognized as
wholly inadequate for the offense.
