DEMOCRATIC BODY
TO ACT ON BOILERS
Alabama Executives Will Take
Matter Up at Meeting
Today.
BY the Associated Press.

~ Jne Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, December Is.
The status of Alabama Democrats
who bolted In favor of the opposition
candidate in last years general election
probably will be settled at the State
Democratic executive meeting here
today. Party members consider it
the biggest question the party has ever
faced in this State: The meeting of
the committee was called, in the words
of Watt T. Brown, Democratic national
committeeman for Alabama, Ito make
rules and regulations for the govern
ing of next years primary election"
The consensus of Democratic opinion
in the State apparently is that the usu-
ally perfunctory works will be over
Swallowed by discussion of whether can
o1dates who did not support the party's
presidential candidate last November
1928, shall be barred from the impend-
ing primary, or whether all Democrats
shall be invited to vote and run for
Office.
The public has been left in doubt as
70 the probable outcome of the session.
Letters have been passed between men,
berS OF the committee and polls have
been attempted, but they have done lit
tie as far as the public Is concerned
but to forecast a warm contest. One
prominent member of the committee
told the Associated Press today that the
pro and con factions seemed almost
equal.
There are four formal aspirants for
the governorship-Hugh A. Locke Of
Birmingham, w. c. Davis of Jasper,
Attorney General Charlie C. Mccall and
Jefferson Carnley of Coffee County.
One other, Woolsey Finnell of Tusca-
1ooSa, State highway commissioner, has
stated informally that he will run
Locke has said he is for admission of
boilers to participation in the primary
in any capacity. Davis, Carnley and
, Finnell are for party solidarity" Nc
Call has not made his position known.
, Locke was one of President Hoover's
most outspoken supporters in Alabama
Both Mr.. Brown, the national commit
teeman, and Jouett Shoup Shouse in
the national Democratic executive COM
nlittee have urged harmony in the party
in Alabama.

Would Fireproof Forests.

Forest fires may be prevented by the
application of a method Of injecting
fire-resisting mineral soup" into living
trees, according to those who have test
ed the process recently perfected at the
College of Forestry at Tharandt, Ger
many. Trees thus treated are said to
have produced lumber which is strongly
resistant to flames. The fireproofing
process consists of feeding thin solu-
ton, composed of compounds of silicon
and fiourine and other chemicals, to the
tree through holes bored into the trunk
close to the ground. AS the sap rises
it carries the solution to all parts Of
the tree, rendering it fireproof.

year or two as good, but long inquiry
into its telegraph, telephone and power
phases may be expected after his COM
mittee concludes with the present radio
inquiry.
Another blast against the Federal Ra-
dio Commission comes today in the form
of a statement by Mercer o. Johnston,
director of the Peoples Legislative
Service, who charges it with being un-
fai, to labor. The charge is based on
the commissions refusal to grant one
of the 40 cleared radio channels to
Station VIGIL, Chicago, which is de-
scribed as the "Voice of Labor" Now
operating on regional channel with
$500 watts power, the station seeks an
exclusive channel and power that will

JENSEN STILL Up;
FLIGHT IS BUMPy
On Last Leg of Race to Gel
New Solo Endurance
Record.
By the Associated Press.

6S tDs ASSUClatSu fTeSk,
ROOSEVELT FIELD, March 28.-
Though the air was rough as a ploughed
field and the special gas he was using
prevented his slowing down to take the
bumps gently. Martin Jensen was In the
third and last leg of his race to set a
new solo endurance fight record today
and still going strong.
Jensen went up at 6:01 "a O'Clock
yesterday morning to beat the late
Royal v. Thomas record of 35 hours
and SO minutes, which would keep him
in the air until 6:35 this evening.
Has Chance to Win.
Through a miscalculation early this
morning he decided that he was goine
to lose his fight, but a later check
showed that he still had a good chance
to win. Between 6 and o'clock, when
he was circling Long Island no more
than 80 feet from the ground in q
sodden rain, he dropped a note saying
he had only 60 gallons of gasoline left
enough for about five hours. He ex-
planned that the automobile gasoline he
was using would not permit idling his
engine and that at full speed the cou-
sumption was IL gallons an hour
Emil Burgin, chief pilot for the oil
company that is sponsoring the flight
went aloft in plane on the fuselage
of which was painted advice to Jensen
to test his tanks again, as observers
would not believe there was so little
fuel left. Shortly after 10 o'clock Jen-
sen dropped second note saying that
he found he still had 10 gallons.
Conditions Improve.
The sun was then shining and con.
ditions generally had improved and
aviators estimated that the 70 gallons
ought to last from eight to ten hours
or just about long enough to set new
record.
In his 10 o'clock note Jensen said
that the air was still rough, but that he
was not tired yet. Ever since he went
up he had been driving through a
bumpy sky, note telling yesterday OF
one bounce that threw him out of his
seat and bumped his head on cabin
crossbar.
Jensen is flying a Bellanca cabin
monoplane with Whirlwind engine.

u. S. TOURISTS GET
THRILL ON LINER
Pennsylvania Grounded in Fog.
Floated by Dumping 500
Tons of Oil.
BY the Associated Press.

CHERBOURG. France, March 28.-
The Cunard Anchor liner Transylvania,
with American tourists aboard. came
into Cherbourg shortly after IL o'clock
this morning listing sharply at her port
bow and well down after running
aground near Urville-Hague.
The passengers debarked Immediately,
none the worse for their experience ex-
cept for the shock of the sudden
grounding, which threw some of them
out of their berths.,
The accident took place in the midst
of dense fog at 4:l0 am, while the
Pennsylvania was proceeding at very
low speed. Capt. Robert Erskine finding
her fast, Immediately emptied a tank
containing 500 tons of fuel oil and was
able to get off without assistance, al
though three tugs stood by.
Contrary to first reports the vessel
was not beached after getting clear and
proceeded to Cherbourg under her own
power.
The Transylvania, owned by the
. Cunard Anchor Line, was returning
from Mediterranean cruise.
The pumps were keeping abreast with
the inflow of water this afternoon and it
was expected that the vessel would be
put into dry dock late this evening.
Seventy of her passengers leave to-
night for New York aboard the Carin-
thia. One hundred and thirty left at
noon for Paris and others were planning
to leave for England tomorrow on the
Scythia.

central detective bureau, Is still re-
garded as the probable choice of the
Commissioners.
How many men will be involved In
the reorganization Is as vet undeter-
mined. but those in close touch with
affairs at police headquarters intimate
that the number may exceed 20. Six
changes already have been approved
and others are being considered.
Would Complete Work.
It Is Maj. Hesse's intention to COM
plete the reorganization before he steps
out OF Office, so that his successor can
take over the helm of the Police De-
partment Monday morning with a
smooth-functioning force. The delay OF
the Commissioners in appointing the
new superintendent, however, may in
terfere with these plans unless the
changes to be recommended by Mai.
Hesse are acted upon Saturday.
After tomorroW'S meeting the board
of Commissioners will not gather for an
other regular session until Tuesday, but
If they regard the impending changes
with as much importance as Police De-
paftment executives special meeting
likely would be called Saturday to act
on Mai Hesse'S recommendations.
The plan of reorganization now in
contemplation would not be carried out.
however. if the Commissioners should
do the unexpected and select a candi-
date outside the ranks of the Police De-
partment to succeed Mai. Hesse In
such an event the changes under con-
sideration would be held In abeyance
until he takes office and passed on
them.
Pratt Successor Question.
Speculation is still rife within the
department as to who would succeed
Inspector Pratt as chief of the Detective
Bureau If he is promoted to the super
1ntendency. Reliable reports indicate
that Inspector william S. Shelby, an
assistant superintendent, and personnel
oficer, would be assigned to this post.
This would make it unnecessary to
create an additional assistant superin-
tendency, as the police regulations
require that the chief of the Detective
Bureau should be an assistant superin-
tendent.
The transfer of Inspector Shelby
would leave vacancy in an inspector
ship which most likely would be filled
by the promotion of captain.
