PLANES HOP OFF
FOR GOTHAM "RAID";;
WILL REFUEL HERE
Continued From First Page)

the present plans will take the bomber
over Atlantic City, where the resort res
idents will be bombed" with another
fare.
The bomber is a standard service
plane, which was flown with its sister
Ships of the second bombardment group
from Langley Field, Va, to Wright Field
for the Army maneuvers in which 1t has
been participating the past week. The
cruising range of the plane Is seven
hours without refueling.
The bomber crew has been an
nounced as follows: Lieut.. Moon. chief
pilot; Lieut.. Eugene Banks, assistant
pilot; Bradley Jones. navigator; Lieut..
Paul Richter, refueler, and Lieut..
Charles T. Skow. radio officer.
Recent Improvements in the methods
of refueling ships in the air will be
used in the refueling over the Capital.
The Douglas transport plane, which will
deliver the fuel. will be equipped with
a 50-foot hose connected with two l5O-
gallon tanks A leak-proof connection
has been devised through which the
refueling can be done without the
danger that threatened the endurance
flight of the Question Mark. About
200 gallons will be put aboard the
bomber at each refueling, and 1t will
be delivered at the rate Of about 40
gallons a minute.

The monoplane Fort Worth. attempting
to break the refueling endurance record

was refuelled early today for the third
time since it took of at 1883 Sunday
morning. In two contacts at an altitude
of $500 feet no gallons of gasoline was
transferred from the auxiliary ship.
The plane, piloted by Reg L. Rob-
bins and James Kelly, completed its
forty-eighth hour aloft at 1888 am.
The plane took of at 1888 am. Sun

The plane circled Meacham Field. its
base, throughout the night at an alti-
tude of about 1000 feet.
FloodlightS were kept burning last
night at municipal airport in order to
guide the pilots. The flyers are carry
ing flares for use In case or a forced
landing after dark beyond the limits
of the flying field.
Until the ship lands. two officials will
be on duty to keep the ground record
of the flight. A comprehensive log is
being kept in which sightingS OF the
plane are being recorded with remarks
about altitude and other data.
The first refueling contact was made
early Yesterday morning. no gallons OF
gasoline being transferred with oil and

FLYING LESSONS CONTINUED.
Anne Morrow Takes Of with Colonel
on Anniversary

NORTH HAVEN, Me, May 81 R.-
The second anniversary of Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh'S New York-Paris nom
stop fight found him apparently intent
on further flying lessons for his fiancee.
Miss Anne Morrow.
Possibility that the colonel would ceIe-
brate such an event anywhere but aloft
appeared remote to residents of this
little island which has sheltered Lind
bergh and members of the family Of
Ambassador Dwight w. Morrow since
their arrival by plane last Saturday.
1t was not until yesterday, however.
that the colonel ventured into the air
from the seclusion of the Morrow
estate. With Miss Morrow beside him in
the big six. passenger amphibian, he
took off from the recently cleared run
way near the house and cruised over
Camden and along the Maine coast for
nearly half hour
Planes Action Unusual.
But it was the unusual action Of the
plane, as it TAXED down the runway
before the take-off, that led observers
to believe that the colonel himself was
not at the controls. The craft TAXED
along the field several times before 1t
finally shot sure and straight for the
hop-off. The opinion was expressed
that Miss Morrow had just completed
ground lesson.
The day brought forth somewhat
more activity around the Morrow home
than the day previous Residents of the
island were permitted to enter the estate
and view the plane. Guards made GER
tain. however. that those who entered
were bona fide islanders.
Mrs. Morrow and her secretary, Mrs.
Josephine Graeme, later played nine
holes on the village golf course.
Request of the selectmen of the town
to permit the villagers and other island
residents to give Col. Lindbergh re-
ception was declined by the flyer with
the statement mot at present"

SAENZ OUT OF RACE.

MEXICO CITY, May 81 LP.-Excel-
Sior today quoted Aaron SaenZ governor
of Nuevo Leon and former leading presi-
Dental candidate as withdrawing from
the presidential race. He assigned as
reason his wish not to split the revo-
lutionary party by being candidate
against Pascual Ortiz Rubio, nominated
at the Queretaro convention just before
the outbreak of the recent rebellion.
Before Ortiz Rubio was selected, SaenZ
was thought to have created popular
support and to be certain of the nomi
nation. He charged favoritism in seat
ever, and ordered delegates pledged to
him to withdraw from the proceedings,
thus assuring his rivals selection.

GREEN FLASH'S HOP
FOR ROME DELAYED
'Take-off Postponed by
Weather as Plane Rests
at Old Orchard.

~ the Associated Press.
OLD ORCHARD, Me, May 21.-Re-
ports of bad weather conditions over
part OF the 4,7o0-mile transatlantic
course they expected to follow today
prevented the projected take-off TO:
Rome of Roger Williams and Lewis A.
Yancey in the monoplane Green Flash.
The plane, in which Martin Jensen
recently established world solo en-
durance fight record, remained in q
hangar where 1t was trundled last night
after DR.. James H. Kimball OF the New
York weather bureau advised that con-
ditions would not be propitious for the
flight for at least "a hours.
Immediate preparations for a take
off AT daybreaKa today were mace. after
the flyers arrived here late yesterday
from the Teterboro Airport. N. j. Fuel
ing of the 5l8-gallon gasoline tanks
was begun and food cotee and water
were assembled.
Whether the Green Flash would take
off at daybreak tomorrow depended
Williams said, on further weather ad-
vices. Both flyers indicated their con-
hdence OF the success OF the trip, once
the start was made. So certain were
they of the planes ability to carry them
on the 50-hour flight that no. safety
devices or radio were contained in their
equipment.
williams said they planned to strike
southeast from Old orchard for 400
miles until the fortieth parallel was
reached. Then they expected to ny
straight east to the southern tip Of
Spain, over the Mediterranean and
thence to Rome. The flyers hope to
establish long distance and endurance
record.

ADVOCATES HOME
BUILDING SUBSIDY
President of Master Builders
Association Talks to
Iron Contractors.

With tariff protection for the manu-
facturer, aid proposed for the farmer
through debenture bonds and move
ments to subsidize ship owners, the time
has come to grant a subsidy to the
builders of homes, according to E. H
Rosengarten, president of the newly Or
ganized Master Builders Association OF
Washington, who delivered the principal
address last night at the annual din
ner of the Iron Contractors Association,
at the Hamilton Hotel.
Work Declining.
Because of the constantly declining
volume of work in the building indus
try" said Mr.. Rosengarten, 1.-The Ques-
ton today should be that of maintain
ing the present standard of wage rather
than raising it. Agreeing that the
standard of living today is high, yet it
has not changed appreciably in the past
few years, and it must be recalled that
the history of all countries has shown a
marked tendency TO decline after a
period of expanding prosperity.
Referring to the present cost of
building, we must recall that not alone
does material and labor enter into the
problem; for We have numerous and
unfortunate instances of high overhead
cost created by certain methods OF
financing. II I am not mistaken, just
a few months ago New York financial
institutions frankly discussed this same
question-that of financing building
loans-an6 as frankly recognized a
condition which could and should be
remedied.
Officers Chosen.
There has been a great deal said
recently about protecting the manufac-
turer by tariff, the shipswner by sub
sidy and the farmer by debenture bond.
Why not subsidy for the home builder?
Surely no need is more pressing than
that of homes for our people-the bull
wark of the Nation"
The Iron Manufacturers Association
elected Emil Schmidt, president: Louis
Otto, vice president: Jacob Gichner,
treasurer, and Ross H. Johnston, secre-
tary.

-
develop new principles of valuation.
Work on valuation and the bringing Of
calculations up to date has been Sus-
pended pending the decision in the
O'Fallon case, and that now Will be
pressed while revision of old decisions
proceeds.
A number Of members of Congress in
terested in railroad legislation displayed
keen interest in the decision. Many
thought congressional action would be
needed to clarity the situation, but the
Likelihood that the special session would
be called upon to deal with the problem
was considered remote.
Chairman Couzens of the Senate in
terstate commerce committee let it be
known that he would want ample time
to study the situation and recalled that
the House had not organized the COM
mitteeS necessary to deal with the val
uation legislation. even If it should be
proposed during the special session.
HOch Says Question Gin Air.
The valuation question was described
by Representative Hoch. Republican, Of
Kansas, member of the House COM
merce committee, as being left still up
in the air" by the decision, since it
laid down no definite rule for the COM
mission 10 follow IN determining the
Importance to be attached to reproduce
ton costs in calculating the value of
q railroad.
The decision, he held, illustrates
again the weakness of the recapture
provisions of the law" which ARE i'm
-. practicable and never will solve the
problem of weak lines" He thought
that these provisions and those setting
up a rule of rate making to assure a
fair return on valuation would have to
be reconsidered by Congress.
