SURVEY
OF COUNTRY
MAPPED

With funds provided BY the first
formal appropriation recognizing the
general field Of forest economics,
three new research projects will be
launched BY the United States Forest
Service In the next fiscal year,
which begins July i.
The new undertakings will be: A
comprehensive survey of the nations
resources and requirements; study
Of the financial aspects Of private
forestry, and an investigation of
forest insurance.
Although plans are still In the
preliminary stage, the service an
nounces an intention to expand the
forest economics under the regional
experiment station scheme, and, as
far as possible, men at work on
economic projects will be assigned
to the various forest experiment
station staffs.
THE forest survey project Ii de.
signed to obtain reliable data on:
Present and prospective REQUIRE
meuts for forest products Of ali
kinds; the amount removed annually
from the forests by cutting and
through losses by fire. disease and
insects: the area Of forests under
existing conditions and the growth
which might be obtained under
various land policies or intensities
Of forestry practice: the area Of
forest lands classified according to
their location and character of
stand, and the volume Of. merchan-
disc timber now available, and GER
tain phases OF the distribution OF
forest products and OF other economic
relationship, says the service.
It Is proposed to initiate the
forest survey project In the Pa.
cific Northwest, and later extend
it TO all forest regions az funds
are made available.
The study of the financial az.
poets Of private forestry practice
will be undertaken to determine
the economic factors upon which
commercial timber growing can be
soundly based It will involve in.
yestigations of local timber sup
plies, consumption Of forest prod
ucts, transportation factors. trend
OF timber values and the probable
costs and returns from forestry
practice.

TMMINENT transfer OF John j.

* mMlNENV transfer OF Jonn y !.
Bernet. president Of the Erie
railroad to the presidency
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
rzilroad. is in line with the re.
vised Van Sweringen unification
plan which makes the @. 3 O.
the absorbing road.
Originally the Nickel Plate. Of
which Mr.. Bernet at the time was
operating head, was to be the key
railroad system, but the rejection
Of the Nickel Plate unification
/ plan by the Interstate Commerce
Commission In aMarch, 1926. led
to . revision which brought the
g. 3 O. to the fore.
During the interim, since the
beginning Of 1927, Mr.. Bernet,
the chief operating genius in
the Van Sweringen group, has
served as head OF the Erie, which
has rapidly gone through nota-
Die period Of physical rehabilita-
tion.
Denny TO Succeed Him
That the Van Sweringens are
ready to relieve Mr.. Bernet from
the Erie may be taken as an indi-
cation that they are satisfied that
the program has been fairly well
accomplished. Mr.. Bernet will be
succeeded on the Erie by Charles
=. Denny operating vice presi-
dent OF the Erie, who has been
associated with Mr.. Bernet in the
job Of revitaIizing the Erie
through Improving the equipment,
the power and the management
of the railroad. The Van Swer.
ingsns In 1927 took the view that
II would take at least two years
to i1augurate the new regime,
which, by the way, has already
been reflected in beneficial results
In earning power.
The Van Sweringens entered
railroading In 1915 when they
took over the Nickel Plate from
the New York Central. For the
next 10 years Mr.. Bernet, as
operating head, set q new pace
In railroading, developing the
idea Of swift movement of freight
cars. In addition to being an

Mr. Bernet Is an aggressive busi-
ness getter. AS their operations
widened to include at least five
other railroads, the Van Swerin-
gems have continued to regard
Mr.. Bernet ss their star. per.
former on the operating side.
Up From Ranks
Mr.. Bernet II slated to succeed
W. j. Hafahan, as president Of the
Chesapeake n Ohio. Mr.. Harahan
was operating head Of the road In
December, 1929, when o. r. and NJ.

Californian Making Second
Attempt at Solo Flight
Record.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
METROPOLITAN AIRPORT, Los
Angeles, May 2e.-The steady drone Of
Herbert J. Fahy's monoplane continued
over the airport at 7:43:o am. today as
the flyer passed the 27-hour mark in a
second attempt to establish new solo
endurance flight record.
Flying only by the light Of the airport
far below him, Fahy continued his quest
throughout the night without mishap
other than that the lights in his plane
failed late in the night.
He dropped a message saying the
failure apparently had been due to a
short circuit and that he was afraid to
attempt turning them on again because
Of the danger Of setting fire to the
monoplane.
Metropolitan Airport was kept light
ed and at his request, mail planes were
ordered to clear the field at height
of 5000 to 5000 feet to avoid the posi-
bility of colliding with his darkened
ship, which was keeping close to the
1,5o0-foot level
Fahy took off at 4:43:05 o'clock yes
terday morning in his second attempt
10 eclipse the unofficial mark Of IS hours
80 minutes 81 seconds established last
February by Martin Jensen at Roose-
welt Field.
The test pilot, who is employed by
the Lockheed Aircraft Co, failed in his
first attempt when he landed last Sun
day after about 81 hours in the air.
Fahy took off with enough gasoline
TO keep him aloft about 40 hours.

Indy AND BRIDE
EvADE REPORTERS
Famous Couple Continue in
SecIusion Despite Ex-
haustive Search.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 29.-Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh and his bride, the former
Anne Morrow, today continued in the
SecluSion which swallowed them UP
half an hour after their surprise mar
riage.
The couple disappeared when they
drove out of the estate of the brides
father, Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow
at EngleWood, N. j.. shortly after the
ceremony Monday afternoon.
The nearest thing to clue to their
whereabouts today was the colonel's
blue Falcon plane which stood fueled
for thousand mile flight at the Sche-
nectady, N. Y, airport, where it was
flown from Roosevelt Field, N. Y, yes
terday. There were two parachutes
aboard.
Search Futile.
The flight of the Lindbergh plane
from Roosevelt Field, N. Y, to Sche-
nectady was one of the incidents in
yesterdays futile attempt to pick up
the trail and. like others, it served more
to deepen the mystery of the couples
whereabouts than to dissipate it.
Whether it was flown to the upstate
airport for a take-off on a honeymoon
vert attention was a question.
The plane arrived at Schenectady
after one false start, in which it re-
turned to Roosevelt Field when unable
to shake off a pursuing newspaper plane.
Earlier in the day another Falcon plane
had been delivered at the Schenectady
airport by two unidentified flyers. The
first plane was flown back to Roosevelt
Field by Randy Enslow, friend of
Lindbergh, who took the colonel's plane
upstate.
Rumors Fly.
Earlier the arrival of an amphibian
plane on the waters of Long Island
Sound, near the estate of Harry Gug-
genheim, close friend of Lindbergh,
started rumor that the bridal couple
were at the Guggenheim home. Like
other rumors, it was not verified.
Another report had Col. Lindbergh
and his bride aboard the yacht of S. r.
Guggenheim, but when the craft was
located at anchor off the Columbia
Yacht Club in the Hudson River, the
quest turned to more likely leads.
Workmen continued their task of re-
decorating the Summer home of Am
baSsador Morrow, Col. Lindbergh's
father-in law. at North Haven, Me, but
the caretaker said there had been no
orders to prepare for the reception Of
the bridal couple. The guest cottage
on the estate is unfinished.

The question has been answered by

Of about A inches of water that
falls annually in the basin as rain or

Mrs. Poppen said that a Chinese
school teacher and one faithful servant
accompanied the party. Only two sedan
chairs could be obtained, which meant
that the women and children had to
mostly walk for more than so miles over
rough mountain paths before they were
able to obtain better means of transport

evidence of going away from the White
House with some sort Of assurance from
Mr.. Hoover that they are to fare much
better in the future.
1t is understood that local Repub-
lican leadership already Is giving some
thought to making recommendations
Tor successors to Commissioners Dough-
erty and Taliaferro, the expiration of
whose terms is not far distant. 1t
could not be learned definitely today
whether or not the two Commissioners
were discussed with the President.
There have been unconfirmed rumorS
about the White House that neither
Commissioners Dougherty or Taliaferro,
both of whom were appointed by Presi-
dent Coolidge, will be reappointed by
Mr.. Hoover. 1t is thought that the
circulation Of these rumors has had
something to do with the local Repub-
lican organization IN making its plans
early with a view to capturing both of
these places before the field becomes
flooded with candidates and aspirants.
Although Chairman Prescott and
Committeeman Holiday declined to
say whether or not they discussed the
local patronage question with the Pres
ident during their call today, this fact
was established later by a White House
authority.
Organization Held Effective.
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Republican State COM
mittee at local headquarters, 1923 Fiji

cording to opinion of members present,
that the Republican organizations in
the District are better organized and
did more effective work during the
