PLUCKY FLYERS
Still. ROARING
TOWARD RECORD

FORT WORTH, Tex, May %.
URg-A Texas cowboy and for
mer railroad mechanic continued to-
day to fly toward a new world S
record for sustained airplane flight
in an old and recOnditioned one
motored Ryan monoplane which,
before its takeoff in the endurance
attempt, had flown a distance
equivalent to two trips around the
earth.
And-as the two flyers, Reg
Robbins and Jim Kelly, passed their
Goth hour in the air at 1873 a. N.
today-experienced airmen at Mea-
cham Field predicted that the
Fort WORTH may beat the army
Question Mark record not only
by hours, but by days or a week.
FORT WORTH, Tex, May %. W.R)
Facing the hardest part of their eff
forts, Reg Robbins and Jim Kelly,
two tired but determined aviators,
roared on toward the 100 hour mark
today in their attempt to establish
new refueling record for sustain
cd flight.
The flyers will complete their
fourth day in the air at ll:33 a. m.
to-day, if their rebuilt cabin mono
plane, the Fort Worth is not
forced down. To break the record
set by the Question Mark they must
remain alofC more than 151 hours.
Only minor incidents have taken
place to cause the two men any
concern.
What seemed to bother Kelly
most was the fact that he was
asleep in the hammock strung be-
tween the cabin one time when his
bride came up in another plane to
wave encouragement to him. The
two were married six weeks ago
and Kelly was much put out because
he did not get to see "the missuS, -
Robbins said in q note. Toe, the
nap was rudely interrupted when
Kelly tumbled out of the hammock
and bruised rib.
Kelly also burned his hand while
greasing rocker arm. He was
dangling under the nose Of the
soaring ship performing this dan
gerous task when he showed his
hand against an exhaust pipe oaus-
ing a painful burn.
AS the flyers passed their S4th
hour in the air last night, they
swooped over Meacham Field and
dropped a note which expressed
somo concern over the possibility
of fire breaking out during one of
the refueling attempts.
They refused, however, to accept
parachuyas which the refueling
crew offered them, indicating their
confidence that the fire danger is
slight

HOUSE SEEKING
EARLY ACTION ON
TARIFF MEASURE
Hopes To Obtain Summer
Recess Early Next Week
II Possible.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May %. tU.R-
While the senate continued its in
ternal row over failure to keep
secret its executive votes, the house
went to work today on a program
designed to force early passage on
the tariff bill so congress lhaE be-
gin an early summer recess, perhaps
next week.
The farm question is still unset
tied, all compromises so far having
failed, but it is simmering down to
q point which leaders believe will
bring action within the next few
days.
House Republicans went into
caucus, leaders being armed with 20
amendments designed to appease
the anger of the farm bloc and
other individual groups which have
bitterly protested against some OF
the rates as first reported. There is
as yet no agreement on the trouble
some three cents sugar rate, but the
ways and means committee is work
ing on q sliding scale, supposed to
have been advocated by President
Hoover, to end the controversy.
Dissatisfied elements are certain
to be appeased by the new arrange
ments, the leaders feel. They pre-
dict passage of the bill by May 29.
The caucus is to determine upon a
rule of limiting debate as the early
vote may be guaranteed.
The issue in the farm question
now hinges around the method to
be employed by the house and SEN
ate conferees in eliminating the dis
puted debenture clause, to which
President Hoover and the house
have strong objections. They
thought they had found way if
they could persuade the house to
vote on the plan in connection with
the tariff bill. House leaders sent
back word they were having trouble
enough with the tariff bill and the
cOnferees would have to settle their
own difficulties. Earlier the house
leaders refused to take a vote on
the debenture issue when requested
to do so by the senate conferces.
