After an engineering survey had verified his belief that brick structure being added to the Lyceura theater building was unsafe, In- spector Arthur N. Rutherford last night ordered temporary braces placed at once and today consulted with the engineers in charge of the job with reference to permanent supports.
 The structure is less than 20 feet from Inspector Rutherford's desk in City hall. Viewing the building from his window. it occurred to him that the heavy brick addition. supported on three reinforced steel beams was larger than shown on the approved plans.

HAWKS STARTS ON
 ROUND TRIP TRIALS
Hopes to Beat Present Trans Continental Two Way Records HAS $50 GALLONS OF GAS
Leaves Early This Morning On New York to Los Angeles and Return Trip, Alone in Plane-Take0f Perfect.

Roosevelt Field, New York, June 27, R-Captain Frank NJ. Hawks. took off at 51e a. m. (E. D. T.) on a round trip flight to Los Angeles. At Los Angeles Hawks expects to stop only long enough to refuel.
 Hawks hoped to establish three records, that for the round trip, for cast to west and west to east. the nonstop record to the Pacific coast is 24 hours. 51 minutes established by the late c. B. D. Collyer and Harry Tucker. The west to eas: record is IS hours. 21 minutes estab- lished by himself.
 Colonel F.. M. Roberts. represent ing the National Aeronautic associa- ton, gave 5:12:51 as the official takeoff time.
 The plane carried $50 gallons of gasoline, and earlier plain of carry ing 615 gallons being abandoned due to the additional weight making the planes tail heavy. Captain Hawks said it would take him three hours to refuel and he then would imme- diately take off again for the return trip. The planes engine is capable of 1855 miles an hour.
 Making the flight alone means that he will have to let the plane fly itself 15 minutes of every hour while he pumps fuel from the main tank in the fuselage up to the wing tanks from which it will feed to the motor by gravity.
 The takeoff of the plane was per feet and before his departure Cap tain Hawks was assured of excellent flying weather along the entire route except over Missouri, where thunder showers were reported. This how ever, he said would not bother him.
