NEW TEST IN AIR PLANNED
 BY TWO MEN
Coast to Coast Refuelling Endurance Flight Next
 Start from Spokane

OKANE, Wash, July 27.-- Lieut.. Nick Manner has chosen Art Walket, veteran pilot and motor expert, to be co-pilot for the pro- posed coast to coast refuelling en- durance flight which is backed by Spokane business men.
 Lieut.. Manner plans the flight to test the feasibility of refuelling in the air for commercial flights rather than to set new record.
 Lieut.. Manner plans to fly from Spokane to St. Paul, first refuelling there, thence to Cleveland, New York, Washington, D. C., back to Cleveland, thence to Omaha, Salt Lake, San Francisco, Portland and return to Spokane.
 A refuelling plane will assist the Manner plane at each proposed station and perhaps enroute if the gas supply becomes exhausted as g result of encountering bad weather.

SYMONDS ON VISIT
 WITH FAMILY HERE

II. L. Symonds, a Vice. President of the Pacific American Fisheries and in charge of that company's southeastern Alaska cannery opera tions. arrived here yesterday from the Icy Strait area. He will visit with his family here until tomor- row leaving then for Petersburg.
 The Icy Strait area has experi- enced fair run this season, Mir Symonds said. The Excursion In- let plant has in excess of 50000 cases packed today and is ahead of the 1927 pack for the same period.
 A gratifying feature of this years pack in this district has been the increase in red salmon. The Ex- cursion Inlet plant is well ahead of last year for this variety. Mr. Symonds said.

SITKA CONDITIONS
 ARE NORMAL, SAYS
 U. s. COMMISSIONER

Conditions at Sitka are at least normally good, with the cannery ahead of the 1927 pack, and troll lers experiencing good fishing dur ing three weeks run of king sal- mon, said Judge R. w. DeArmond of that place. Dfsring that time, the trollers made excellent money, he said.
 The larger boats were more sue cessful owing to the fact that much of the fish were taken as far out from shore as 25 miles. They re- ported running through large schools of herring offshore at con- siderable distance and that there was an abundance of feed in the water, which accounted for the numerous fish.
 MT. DeArmond came over on off clal business and is returning home on the steamer Alameda Monday. He attended a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Pioneers Home held here today. He is Sec 'retary of the Board.

HOOVER AND
 CONGRESS IN CONTROVERSY
Issue Is Raised Over Time Clause of Cruiser Con-
 struction Act
OPPOSITION SEEN
 ON NAVAL QUESTION
Senator Hale of Senate Committee Opposes Re-
 cent Announcement

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The possibility of controversy between President Hoover and Congress over the time clause of the new Cruiser Construction Act, is forseen.
 The White House disclosed that the President felt the Act gave him authority to delay construc- tion on IS cruisers until June 30, 193l.'
 Shortly after, Chairman Hale, of the Senate Naval Committee, said the Chief Executive was entirely in error"
 Senator Hale said the time clause refers starting ships within the year specified and not to permit of any delay in their construction thereafter"
 Clause Tn Question
 The clause in question reads:
 Provided, that if construction of any vessel herein authorized to be undertaken in the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1929, or in 1880, is not undertaken in that fiscal year, such construction may be under taken in the next succeeding fiscal year."
 Senator Hale said the clause was put in the bill to insure authoriza- tion if by any chance it were found impossible to start the ships with in the time specified.
 Cause of Issue
 The issue came up following the announcement by the President sev- eral days ago that the construction of American cruisers, otherwise to have begun during the coming fall will be postponed until there is op- portunity for consideration of their affect upon the expected agreement of the British and American na- val parity.
 The Presidents announcement was in response to British Premier Ramsey NIaeDonald's announcement of curtailment and suspension of the British Naval program.

A protective tariff is as vital

to American manufacturing. The
Republican party believes that the
home market, built up under the
protective policy, belongs to the
American farmer, and it pledges its
support of legislation which will
give this market to him to the full
extent of his ability to supply it.
We favor adequate tariff protec-
ton to such of our agricultural
products as are affected by for
