SAYS MILITARY
EXPENSES OF
US. TOO much
Board Of Officers Will
Determine Branches
In Which Re due
tons Due

WASHINGTON, July 23.-P)-
President Hoover intends to estab-
lish commission of army officers
within the general staff to see what
can be done toward reducing mill
tary expenditures.
The commission, the president
said today, would be charged with
making an extensive inquiry to de-
termine what has been made OBJ
solete by scientific advancements
and could be done away with, and
what army programs can be spread
over longer periods that originally
intended and at the same time
maintain complete and adequate
preparedness.
The president said the purely mil
itary expenses of the United States
constitutes a military budget great
er than that Of any other nation
and at time when he considers
there is less danger Of war than at
any period within the last SO years.
The possibility of tax reduction,
he added, was dependent to a large
extent upon an ability to curtail
military and naval expenditures. He
regards the national situation as
modified by the Kellogg treaty and
said he was hopeful that eXpendi-
lures might be saved through a
naval disarmament agreement.
The president said that as now
estimated purely military expendl-
lures will constitute one half OF
the increased government outlay
estimated by 1888.
It is now estimated, he said, that
the military outlay for 1888 will be
1903 900 900, which is $12O,O00,00
more than the similar expenditure
for the fiscal year just closed, and
compares with an average pre-War
expenditure for the military &C
tivities of the army and navy OF
1856 900 900 annually.

Jury Selection In
Leahy Sanity Trial
To Be Days Work

GEORGETOWN, Texas, July %.
-[P)-The tedious process of Sc
lecting a jury for the sanity trial
Of Harry j. Leahy, under death pen
atty for the Staying of DR.. j. A.
Ramsey of Mathis continued here
today. After a number of talesmen
had been excused through disqual-
ification or challenge, only one ju-
ror had been added shortly before
noon to the four selected yesterday.
With the unexpected trouble in
choosing II men to hear testimony
regarding the defendants sanity,
continuing, it was expected that all
of today'S session would be con-
sumed in getting a jury.
The crowd attending court TODAY
was greatly diminished compared
with that Of the first day, due un-
doubtedly to the routine of jury Sc
lection.
Leahy sat carelessly as the case
dragged along, apparently uninter-
eSted in developments and unmoved
as prospective jurors were ques-
toned concerning their attitude to-
ward the death penalty.

PLANE IN AIR
246 HOURS AS
CROWDS WAIT
Leaky Oil Spray On
Ship Fails to Pre-
vent Continuation of
Flight

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 23.-
(AP) Dale Red Jackson and
Forest O'Brien, plotting the mono
plane "St. Louis Robin" passed
the worlds record for sustained
flight at 2:0O:39 p. m. today after
they had been flying 246 hours,
43 minutes and 81 seconds.
ST. LOUIS, July 23.-
The "St. Louis Robin" was still
circling above Lambert-St. Louis
field at one p. m. today, Central
standard time, when it began the
last hour of flying between it and
euualling the world endurance
flight record. The plane must re-
main up until 32 seconds past 3
d. m, however, to officially set a
new record under the rules of the
National AerOnautic association.
The endurance plane piloted by
Dale Jackson and Forest O'Brine,
took on a light load of sixty gallons
of gasoline when it refuled as it en-
tered its eleventh day Of flight at
TIT q. m, and then began making
wide circles above the field. The
weather was clear.
The fliers reported Everything
is all right" and I'VE are ready to
start another endurance flight" !"
They had said last night they
planned to stay up as long as the
motor would function.
The wives of the flierS went up
this morning and waved greetings to
them.
The first sign of any trouble
aboard the "St. Louis Robin" was
indicated in a note sent down this
morning saying the fliers were being
bothered by oil spraying over the
cabin windows. Some anxiety was
felt that this might develop into
serious trouble as 1eaky oil line
forced the Missouri Robin" sister
endurance plane, to land yesterday.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 23.-(P)--
Only an unforeseen contingency can
keep the crown of endurance flying
from Gaping the performance Of
Dale Red" jackson and Forest
O'Brine, plotting the st. Louis Rob-
in today. A few hours remained
compared with the 10 days in air
for the plane soaring over Lambert
st. Louis field, before the present
246-hour, 43 minute, 80 second rec
ord of the Angeleno is eclipsed.
A city-wide celebration vas
planned for 2:01 p. m, Central
standard tine) when the plane will
equal the present world mark. The
st. Louis Robin, escorted by Two
souadrons of planes, will circle the
downtown section while factory
whistles and aerial bombs give noisy
congratulations.
The pilots expect to continue af-
ter the hour needed to definitely
establish a new record. A note
dropped last night read: Motor
running fine. Both feeling good.
Just % hours until we start on an
other endurance flight. We don't
believe it necessary to be tough
hombres' to be endurance fliers."
Flyers Cautioned

day to keep their log carefully by
Major Albert Bond Lambert, Off
