For the past "a hours almost, the

YOUNG HOOVER
SEES AIR
PULLMAN

CHICAGO, July II nN.s1.--Heri
bert Hoover, jr., son OF the Pres
ident, launching career for himself
as radio engineer Of the Western Air
Express. recent visitor in Chicago,
predicted that within the next year
a 24.hour sleeper transcontInental
air service would be inaugurated.
Young Hoover said he believed
telephone facilities for communiea'
ton between planes and ground sta
tions would be completed by that
time, enabling business men to make
connections with their offices. He
said such a service would aid pilots
in learning OF weather conditions
ahead and would avert many air
problems now experienced by pilots,
Planes are already being designed
for night flights with all the com.
forts of present day Pullman cars,
he said. These planes are to be
adequate for frcm 20 to 40 pas
sengers and are contemplated Igr
service between middle-Westefn
points such as Chicago to kansas
City and the West.
The present air.rail services must
be speeded up to keep pace with
the growing interest and patronage
Of transcontinental passengers, ne
declared.
Young Hoover was in Chicago
with Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker'
famous world war ace, now rep
resenting the Fokker- General Motors
Company. Rickenbacker also was
extremely optimistic regarding the
future possibilities OF aviation.

n. !. TO ALASKA
To ASIA BY AIR,
HOYT AIM
By HOMER Il. METZ

NEW YORK, July II
,(I,N.S. What may be the
forerunner of regular COM
mercial flights between New
York City and Alaska and the
Far East will be attempted on
Friday by Capt. Ross g. Hoyt,
Of the United States Army.
Captain Hoyt, according to an
announcement made to International
News Service today, viii hop off
from Mitchell Field, l.. l., on Friday
for a. practical test flight to
Alaska.
Technically the flight is being
staged by the Army Air Depart
ment for the purpose Of testing the
efficiency and adaptability Of long
range Army pursuit planes, but to
all practical purposes its aim is
to prove the feasibility a COM
merciaI flying to the Orient.
$50 Miles an Hour
| Plotting 4 .Curtiss Hawk pursuit
plane powered by ConquerOr 500
horse power motor, Captain Hoyt
expects to reel off an average speed
of approximately $50 miles an hour.
He will leave Mitchell Field about
2:30 in. the afternoon and viii make
his first stop at Minneapolis 1880
miles away, at 10 o'clock that
night. After refueIing, he will hop
off from Minneapolis an hour later
and fly to Alberta, Canada, 100
miles away, where he hopes to
arrive at o'clock Saturday
morning.
| Refueling once more at Edmon-
| ton, he will hop for White Horse,
Yukon, another 1,100-mile flight.
He is due to arrive at White Horse
at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon
| and, from there, he viii hop to
| Fairbanks, a distance of 500 miles.
The last leg of the long flight. from
Fairbanks to Nome, a distance OF
500 miles, is expected to culminate
at 1:20 a. m, Sunday.
| Captain Hoyt's elapsed flying
| time, il his plans work out, will be
80 hours and so minutes. The air.
line, distance between New York
! and Nome is 1920 miles.
! He will remain in Nome only
about six hours and then will start
/ on the hazardous return hop. ar
! irving in New York at $40 p. m,
| Monday.
Captain Hoyt's flight is certain to
| be watched with the utmost interest
by the sponsors of commercial flying
| interests. The need of an air route
to the Far East that Is reasonably
| safe has long been recognized, and
il Captain Hoyt's flight is successful,
commercial operators will probably
take steps Immediately to make the
line a reality.
Long Considered
| Aviation men long have regarded
the route to be taken by Captain
| Hoyt as the most feasible flying
route to Alaska and the Far East.
From Nome 1t is an easy matter
for an airplane to negotiate the
short distance across the Bering
straits to the Asiatic mainland.
Captain Hoyt's plane has radius
of action of 700 miles, while the
types now used in the Army have a
radius OF only ESQ miles.
| Captain Hoyt, who is attached to
the air corps tactics group at Lang
| ley Field, Va, has been in the Army
| Is years, II of these in the air corps.
He was scheduled to make a round
trip coast.to-coast flight, but called
! it off when Frank NJ. Hawks made
his record-bfeaking solo flight two
weeks ago.

Unnecessary, Says North

report of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission calling for consolidation OF sew
eral railroads was termed unnecessary
Yesterday by President Fred w. Sargent
of the Chicago & North Western Rail-

nearly 10 years ago. The reasons for
the enactment of the law have largely
ceased to exist" President Sargent said

PANTAGES TO ASK
BRIEF JAIL RESPITE
Grave Illness Feared Follow
ing Defeat of Efforts to Gain
Release on Bond.

BY the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, December 28.-Alex-
ander PantageS, multimillionaire Vau-
deville magnate, today decided to ask
the Appellate Court for temporary free
dom as a result OF defeat in his tight
in Superior Court to win liberty under
bond pending decision upon his appeal
from conviction on charge of attack
ing Eunice Pringle, dancer.
After a hearing in which Pantages'
physical and mental condition was
described by several physicians as no:
necessarily dangerous. Superior Judge
George Fricke yesterday denied a mo-
ton to admit the wealthy Snowman to
bail.
Pantages, who is in jail here pending
decision OF his appeal from the convic-
ton and penitentiary sentence of l to
so years, has been Ill several weeks.
Grave Illness Feared.
He petitioned for release under bond
on the ground that Jail life was menac-
ing his health. Physicians who ex-
amined him at the request of his at
torneys testified that he was in danger
OF becoming gravely Ill.
This was the second time Pantages
has been denied liberty under bond.
The court refused Immediately after
COIlNlCGlOll W dUIIllO MIN 10 Ddl.
Judge Fricke said he believed Pant
ages was suffering more from prison
psychosis" than from any pathological
cause.
In his ruling, however, Judge Fricke
decreed that Pantages may be removed
to the general hospital. or. If 1t is
preferred, may remain in the county
Jail hospital and there be attended
by his own physicians and nurses.
Confined In Hospital.
Since suffering a heart attack sew
eral days ago, the theater man has
been confined in the county Jail
hospital.
Five physicians appointed by Dis
trict Attorney Burton Fits to examine
Pantages as to his physical condition
agreed that the showmans heart
trouble was not of an acute nature, all
agreed that Pantages' condition shows
deterioration. but expressed the belief
that worry is his worst physical foe.
Attorneys for Pantages announced
they would carry the bail fight to the
higher courts.
