RECORD

NEW YORK, April Is QNsl.
Not content with his triumphs
n the fields of practical avia-
ton and motorless flying, Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh plans to

It has been learned here that

pounds and developing 10 horse
power, which he plans to install
N the Bowius Albatross sail

making experiments on the Pa

It Is to be presumed Lind

q new world gliding record In
the craft by using the little
engine to carry him from hill

which will carry him upwards.
Lindbergh's experiments with

De made in the glider camp of
HaWley Bowlus, in San Diego.
BoWlus, who manufactures gid
ers, is planning to conduct sim

On a recent visit to New
York, Bowlus declared:
wv will have nothing but
confusion IL we go into power
gliding before the youth have
learned all about gliding with.
out an engine. We must first
, teach them to glide, and then
the next step will be in the
direction off mOtOred flying"
Shortly after Lindbergh made
said:

to learn the principles of
flight than by gliding"
Lindbergh believes the glider
offers a safe, inexpensive way
for amateurs, both youths and
adults, to learn to fly, and be-
lieves that gliders of today will
be the flierS of tomorrow.

DEATH OF GANDH|

Steps Taken to Prevent Martyr
 dom Of Indian Leader

London, June 6.-Many English men are gravely asking themselves these days, if Gandhi dies in prison. whether he will not do for India what John Brown did fo" the Unit ed States and the case of slavery. Even in q jail somewhere near Poona the British masters only have his body locked up. His spirit goes marching on. Gandhl is not the cause of the arrest in India. He is simply the megaphone through which the woes of the bulk of the 51S,00O,0o0 na.ives of India are pro- claimed to themselves and the world. And In lian contains one-sev- entcenth of all the worlds popula- tlon.
 Britain's problem in India is a terrific one, Neither the United States nor any other world power ever has had anything like it to tackle. The bulks of the humble h. dlans give Britain the credit for some things it has done; a system of courts which give the lowIiest un- bribed justice; a plan of canals which renders fertile lands that were formerly desert; a system of railways whicn permits India 10 iA- terchange products. vigiIant ad- ministration which seeks to palliate famine by bringing food 10 the needy.

 But all this is q mere scratch On the surface of this vast sua- continent. The people of India like people everyWhere-bl blame all their ills on the British "Raj.' The chances are that all or most or the evils from which the people suffer have tcme down the ages and are well-nieh insoluble. India is predominantiy an agricultural land and the bulk of the people work on the land. India produces G! per cent Of the worlds rice. l. per cent of it's wheat against T. from Canada and 27 from the United States; practically all of its jute; 96 per cent of it's cotton, A. per cent of its flax and 40 per cent Of it's tel.

SOUTHERN BLOC
ASKS CHANGE
IN SHOALS

AS debate on the Power Trust"
bill to lease Muscle Shoals to pri.
vate interests began in the House
yesterday, Southern Democrats
led a movement for an amend
ment providing for Government
operation in the event a satisfac'
tory lease is not obtained.
Southern Democrats were al
most united in support of the
alternative plan and they hoped
to gather enough votes from the
Republican side to put through
the alternative plan. A vote is
expected today.
'. Substitute Bill
The first move of the coalition
forces will be to seek adoption o.
the McSwain bill as substitute
for the Power Trust" bill. Nc
SWANS bill sets up a plan for
Government operation in the
event President Hoover is unable
to obtain satisfactory bid for
the giant power plant.
Failing in the drive for the
McSwain bill. last-minute move
Is being considered by Repre-
sentative Taylor CR0' of Tennes-
see, to send the bill back to
the Military Affairs Committee,
with instructions to report forth
with an alternative plan under
which the President, failing to
lease the works, would put the
Norris plan into operation.
AS the Senate already has
passed the Norris bill, providing
for Government operation and
selling the power and fertilizer
at cost, the consensus Of opinion
Is that the House must adopt
the Norris principle if there is
to be Muscle Shoals legislation.
Many Dissatisfied
While a majority of the House
Military Affairs Committee re-
ported the pending bill provid
ing only for lease by the Presi-
dent, through a board appointed
by him without Senate confirma-
ton, many members are diSSatiS-
fled with the bill,
Representative Garrett (DO, of
Texas, member of the Military
Committee, described the bill as
"a Power Trust BILL
Garrett said he would rather
see the waters of Muscle Shoals
"pass through the dam 100 years
without generating power than
to see the Power Trust get the
Governments property and ex-
plot it to suit themselves"
Vigorous attacks upon tn e

We don't propose to argue conservation with Stewart Edward White. Any man who will postuate that wild scrub cattle are superior to the short horn, bad-face steer of modern ranges, wild, "pne-rooter" hogs to the Berk- shire Duroc strains, the arid desert to watered grain fields the blocked crowded undergrowth filtered wilderness to forests whose growth has been fosered under scientific methods as he does in his latest article is hopeleSsly lost beyond redemption.

And there is serious objection to MT White, or anybody else, declaring conserva- ton war on Alaska, when the cause of hostities that he sets up himself is false and non-existent.
 Let him kid himself all he wants to-but Alaska has a just cause for protest when he, after kid ding and being kidded, attempts to mislead the general public, feeding it with hearsay evidence while ignoring the facts so easily obtainable just to lend versimilitude to obviously and rotteny unsound theory.
