Senate Committee Also May
Ask for More Power in
Building Quiz.

More time and increased powers
for the senate committee investi-
eating armory construction by
CLOSED corporation" methods in the
state may be asked of the senate it
was indicated by committee menu
bers today.
The resolution launching the
probe calls for report to the SEN
ate by Feb. IS. Both Senators
Alonzo H. Lindley, Kingman, chair
man, and French Clements, Evans
vile, expressed the belief that adj
ditional time may be required.
Senator Thurman A. Gottschalf,
Berne, author of the resolution
stated that he was perfectly willing
to extend time and would even
favor the committee carrying on
after the session if need be.
Clements, who with Senator Carl
M. Gray, Petersburg, was appointed
by Lindley as a subcommittee on
procedure, declared today that an
attorney named Miller, said to rep
resent the interests building the
armories, came to him. and sug-
gested that he come over to the
Ostrom Realty and Construction
Company in the Peoples Bank build
ing and they would give him some
information regarding the building
program.
He declined, but asked that any
building plans be submitted to the
board of accounts. Miller at first
declared there were no plans and
later reported that three had been
found. The plans are. for arrnories
at Upton, Franklin and Princeton.
Some thirty arrnories have been
built under the CLOSED corporation"
plan during the last four years.
Clements declared he believed that
they must have had plans for all OF
them.

CRISTOBAL, G. T., Feb. T.
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh pre-
pared for a short rest today after
making the first delivery of air mail
from the United States to the Pan
anna Canal Zone.
Recreation, including possibly a
hunting trip with Canal Zone f1iers,
will occupy mos of his time until
his departure Sunday on the re-
turn trip to Miami, Fla.
Insisting throughout the three
day flight that he was only an air
mail pilot again and must not be
treated as a world celebrity, Lind
bergh only smiled his appreciation
of the cheers of 1000 people who
welcomed him at France field here.
1--WE must protect the mall" he
said as he helped unload the six
bags consigned to the Canal Zone.
a Mail Comes First
Lindbergh kept the code Of the
mail pilot in mind the entire time
he was at the controls of the Sikor-
sky amphibian plane. Flying straight
and fast from city to city, he
brought the plane to rest on France
field at 4:03 p. m. Wednesday, three
minutes behind the time announced
three days ago for his arrival.
The crowd that welcomed Lind
bergh Wednesday appeared even
more enthusiastic than when he ar
rived here little more than year
ago on his famous South American
good will fight. Then he was rushed
off to a series of official receptions
with the acclaim of the people ring
ing in his ears. But Wednesday ne
refused to let himself be Swerved
from his duties to the mail and
asked that no formal recognition be
given him.
The route back to the United
States will be the same as that fol-
lowed here. Lindbergh plans to leave
Farnce field early Sunday morning,
arriving in Miami Tuesday after
noon.
Lindbergh was accompanied here
by Colonel John A. Hambleton, vice.
president of the American Air
ways Company, which has the
Miami Cristobal mail contract, and
by Harry Buskey, mechanic and
radio operator.
Good Weather on Trip
The weather on the entire trip
was excellent, Lindbergh said.
The plane left Miami at sos a.
m. Monday and flew to Havana,
where a stop of an hour was made
before continuing to Belize, British
Honduras, for the first night.
Leaving Belize Tuesday morning,
stops were made at Tela, Honduras,
and Managua, Nicaragua, where the
second night was spent. The plane
took off from ManagUa at 7:25 a.
m. Wednesday for Punta Arenas,
Costa Rica, flew from there to
David, Panama, and then came here
where the landing was made at 4:03
p. m. h
The total flying time was about
twenty hours thirty-f1ve minutes
during which approximately 1,7OO
miles were covered.
The air mail service inaugurated
will not make daily departures for
the present, Colonel Lindbergh said
but he added the Pan-American
Company hoped to institute daily
service within q year. Passengers
also will be carried when the safety
of the route has been demonstrated
satisfactorily.
