 Alderman Falk. former chair man of the Claims committee, seconded Alderman Parker's decla- rations, admitting that the situation was in need of change and re- calling that he often presided over meetings at which claims were paid which should have been rejected and vice versa. Both aldermen pointed out that committee members, after listening to the various claims, were obliged to turn to the corporation counsel for advice as to the city's lia ability and Alderman Falk recalled that he stood out against Corpora ton Counsel J. H. Kirkham in the Collins case a few years ago even to

 The flight fulfilled for Captain Non Gronau, crisp-spoken veteran of the German imperial navy flying service, an old dream and gained him the distinction Of being the first person to land Transatlantic plane in New York harbor.
 Added glamor was given the flight by the fact that it was made in an old reconditioned ship, used by Amundson in Arctic explora ton and t Captain Frank Courtney in futile attempt 10 span the Atlantic.

 It was estimated the f1iers covered about 4,000 nautical miles in a flying time Of 4 hours. En route here they stopped in Iceland, Greenland, Labrador and Nova Scotia
 A shout from 5000 throats her aided the planes arrival here. It headed across the southern tip of Manhattan Island, circled the Statue of Liberty in salute and then came down, landing gracefully about so yards from the Aquarium.
 IL had been expected the plane would land off the Statue of Liberty. and the municipal tug Macon with q reception committee aboard was headed there when it came down.
