ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo., Aug. H.
The airplane Sun God, speeding on
a nonstop refueling round-trip
flight from coast TO coast, resumed
its eastward journey at $40 a. m,
mountain standard time, today after
having spent the night flying over
the airport here awaiting the COM
ing of daylight to complete refueling.
The plane again will refuel at
Cheyenne.
The pilots, Lieutenant Nick Ma
mer and Art Walker, had to make a
desperate fight to keep from ending
the trip in Rock Springs. Arriving
near dark Friday night, they first
ran into bad luck when a broken
gasoline line on the refueling plane
prevented them from taking on the
necessary fuel to continue their trip
before darkness fell.
The line was repaired, but no
powerful lights were available at the
airport and the fiiers had TO depend
on a flashlight to show the way in
Tefueling operations.
Contacts, however. we're made three
times under difficulties and les gall

hundred more went up after day
light.
Hangs Above Airport
Most of the night the Sun God
hung 5000 to 1000 feet above the
airport.
A note dropped by Lieutenant Ma
mer as he took off said the motor
was working perfectly. \

The Sun God was behind schedule
because of headwinds encountered

CURED.
Original plans called for the sec
ond refueling over Cheynne, Wyo.,
but the headwinds caused Manner to
ask the refueling plane go to Rock
Springs, two hours flying time west
of Cheyenne.
A refueling plane was sent to
Rock Springs late Friday to meet
the Sun God after Manner reported
he would need new supply Of gsso-
line at that point. The original
plan had been for him to refuel at
Cheyennne not later than p. m.
Thursday. Head winds slowed this
schedule.
Gas Does Not Last
The Sun God took on 900 gallons
of gasoline in San Francisco and
had expected to reach Cheyenne on
this supply.
After refueling in New York the
return course will be over Mime
spolis and st. Paul, Fargo. Bis
narck, Miles City, Butte and Mis-
solua to Spokane.
The fuel taken on at Rock
Springs, where the refuelers went
from Cheyenne. is expected to last
the ship until its arrival at Cleve-
land.

refueling prearranged at intervals

Execution Is Unique

BV L mica PTesS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Ths
hanging at Ft. Lauderdale, Fla, to-
day of J. H. Alderman, rum rum
ner convicted of the murder of two
coast guardSmen, was unique in the
annals of federal criminal action,
according to officials of the de-
partment Of justice.
Alderman was executed in coast
guard hangar on federal territory
because of refusal by Broward coun-
ty authorities to permit the use of
the county jail.
Hangings Are Infrequent
Department officials pointed out
that executions for murder by the
federal government are irfrequent
and that the carrying out of such
executions on federal territory even
are rarer.
Murder trials are held in federal
courts only for murders committed
On the high seas or on federal ter
ritory. Ordinarily, In case of convic-
ton, the execution is carried out by
the United States marshal in state
or county jaiis.
The judge who presided over Ale
dermaniS trial, according to the de-
pertinent officials, sentenced him to
be executed in the county jail at
TT. Lauderdaie.
When preparations for the hang
ing, were being made it was dis
covered there was no room In the
jail with a ceiling high enough to
permit erection of scaffold. Then
plans were made TO hold the execu-
ton on the roof.
Denied Use Of jail
But the county commissioners
passed a resolution opposing use OF
the roof for the execution because
of possible damage to the jail build
ing.
Federal authorities then obtained
. court order transferring the exc
cution to the coast guard station,
the nearest federal property.
