 However, neither the Southern Cross nor the Bremen, the only oth- CT plane to make the westward crossing. were successful in reaching their destinations, both being com peIled to make forced landings.

 The Bremen, which like the South ern Cross had New York as her goal, was forced to land at Green ley Island, near Labrador. in her flight from Ireland in 1928. Her crew. Baron Ton Huenefeld. Captain Herman Koehl and Colonel James Fitzu,aurice. were forced to aban- don their plane which had been wrecked in landing and come on to New York in relief planes,

Hartford, June 25-Baba Georges of Philadelphia, Pa, formerly in the jewelry business on Main street, New Britain, pleaded nolo contendere to one count of violation of the federal bankruptcy act in United States dis trict court here today and was given a suspended jail sentence of 60 days by Judge Warren B. Burrows. thus bringing to q sudden close the trial which opened last week before Judge Burrows and a jury. For four months Georges will be on probation, Judge Burrows specifying that Pro- bation Officer E. C. Connolly of New Britain be given the assignment.
 CasaIe Accuses Bankruptcy Ring"
 Attorney C. Gerard Casale who, with Attorney Thomas F. McDon- ough. represented Georges, declared in his plea that the jeweler was "victimized by the so-called bank ruptcy ring which is reputed to be operating in Hartford county" and later he said that the disclosures in the case make me glad I have lit tie to do with bankruptcy"
 Although the opening of court was scheduled at 10:30 o'clock this fore noon it was almost noon when Judge Burrows ascended the bench. It was reported about the federal building that Assistant United States District T pared to allow 8, plea Of nolo con- tendere to be entered. subject to the approval of the court. but Georges was adamant, insisting that the trial proceed.

PRACTICE TEACHERS
 WILL BE EMPLOYED
School Policy Will Not Be Changed by Cut in
 Expenditures

Although the school committee eX- poets to return to the general gov erhment some Of its appropriation so that the charity department will have money to care for the unem- ployed, 1t IS not probable that the practice teacher plan, involving an annual expenditure of $6000, will be eliminated, it was learned today
 At meeting of the special conl- mittee working on the plans the three members. President P. F. King, Louis W Young and George Levitt, studied the budget and it is expected that after further consideration a report will be made at the school board meeting in July. The repair item is being studied
 It was the general opinion Of the sub committee that the practice teacher idea was not an expense but an economy. Under this plan, six New Britain College graduates are given an opportunity to substitute for three month periods in the three high schools. Under the rules of the New Britain school system they are not engaged as teachers until they have had one year of experience. This year will be counted and they will be eligible for permanent ap- pointments next year. They receive the minimum salary of $l,000 a year
 The school committeeman believe that the plan gives New Britain young men and women a chance to obtain a year of experience whether they continue in the system. It also saves the school system S2700 aver age on substitute teachers and the remainder of the s6000 is made up when the teachers are given regular appointments.

CONDEMNED SLAYER
 OFFERED OPPORTUNITY
Chinese May Be Inoculated as Scientific Experi-
 ment

Albuquerque, N. NJ, June 25 (UP) Woo Dak San had the choice to- day of death in the electric chair or of redemption in the service of humanity.
 Sentenced to death for the murder Of a countryman, the Chinese was given the alternative of submitting to inoculation with trachoma germs that science may learn more about the disease that is the scourge Of Indian tribes.
 The plan to offer Woo life i'm prisonement instead of the chair on this condition was presented by Dr. Polk Richards, U. S. research phy- slcian 1t the Albuquerque Indian school.
 Dr. Richards promised Alvin White, the slayer's attorney. that every effort would be made to have the death sentence changed if he would grant the use of the Chinese for experimental purposes.
 The trachoma germ long has been 8 scourge among the Indians. Four years ago, Dr. Hledyo Noguchl noted Japanese scientist did con- siderable research work here among the Indians. He believed he had iso- latd the germ, but died in 1928, a victim of his own research.
 No opportunity, however. ever has been granted for experimentation of inoculation upon human beings. Only monkeys and other animals have been vaccinated.
 Medical authorities generally have conceded that an experiment upon a human being is needed to com plete research.
 If the Chinese will not agree to the plan of Dr. Richards, he must die next month in the electric chair.
 Neither White nor Woo has made . decision.
