PACIFIC FLIGHTS
BEING PLANNED

TACOMA, Wash, July ~. U,Pi--
A oncstop flight from Tacoma 10
Tokyo and nonstop return was
the enlarged plan of Harold Brom-
ley today after speed tests had
failed to come up to the flyers s eX-
pectations.
Calculations based on yesterday 5
tests and nonstop flight here from
Los Angeles revealed that Bromley s
new giant high wind Emsco mono
plane would be unable to buck the
2J-milcs an-hour hcadwinds on the
west-east trip on its fuel supply. On
the return trip the plane will have
following winds and will be able
to make the trip without Il stop,
local aviation experts said.
Under new plans Bromley will
take off with about 800 gallons OF
fuel and make stop at Kodiak,
if the weather permits. If the kodi-
ak stop is impossible, the plane will
continue to Nome.
The change in plans will delay the
takc-off at least three or four days.
Meanwhile, Bob Wark and his co
pilot, Eddie Brown, who plan a non
stop rcfucling flight to Tokyo, were
rushing work on their big Fokkcr
biplanc, Pacific Era, and expected
to be able to take off before Brom-
ley.
Wark announced Il change in
plans today and now intends to re-
fuel only at juneau and Nome.

BALTIMORE, Md, July II. U.P)
John Macdonald, kev-witness in
the Mooney Billings case, was re-
leased here today so that he may
return to California to repudiate
testimony which sent the two Calf
tornia labor leaders to prison in con-
nection with the 1916 San Francis
co bombing He had been held since
Friday night by police.
Release was upon motion OF Her
bert X. O'Conor, states attorney for
Baltimore.
Macdonald was released by Cir
cult Judge Dawkins without any
qualifications to his attorneys and
Walsh
His lawyers wired Governor Young
of California today asking him to
set a date for hearing in the case
of Mooney, whom Young recently re-
fused to pardon; the governor indi-
Gated that if Macdonald were To-
Gated, his statement might change
the decision, and this started the
nationwide search which found Mac
Donald last Friday night. A re-
hearing also will be sought before
the California supreme court in the
ease of Warren X. Billings, who was
recently denied Il pardon by the
court.
Both have been i'll jail for four
teen years, convicted partly of Mae
Donald S testimony in the Califor
MIA trials that he saw them at the
scene of the explosion with u satchel
supposedly carrying dynamite. Mae
Donald swore in an affidavit Satur-
day night that he had not seen
| either of the men at the place where
the bombing occurred.
They are to take him back in II
few days to California to tell Gov

the two men who have been in jail
for II years, largely on testimony
that he now swears is false
Macdonald s attorneys will put a
whole staff work to prepare their
case. They expect to take Il week,
during which Macdonald will rest
here.
They realize they must not wait
too long, as Macdonald is Il sick
man, and they will take no chances
that ill-health, or death, will prevent
him from telling his story in person.

The two attorneys buttrcSSed their
ease at the outset by having Mae
Donald execute an affidavit repudi-
ating his testimony in the presence
of the states attorney in Balti-
more, Herbert II. O'Conor, and high
police officials. Thus they sought
to prevent any question such as
was raised in u former affidavit cA-
ecuted in Trenton, y, j., in 1921.

will accompany Mae Donald and his
