EXTRA SESSION
Of CONGRESS
NOT LIKELY
Speaker Willing to Advance
Muscle Shoals and Lame
Duck Bills to End Strife
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

The Republican leadership IN
the present Congress virtually
capitulated to the progressiveS all
along the line today in an effort
to forestau an extra session of the
Seventy-second Congress after
March 4.
After conferences with other
Republican leaders, Speaker Nick
Longworth declared today that he
was favorable to having the pres
ent Congress vote on "every con-
ceivable controversial measure" in
order that "there shall not be the
shadow of an excuse for an extra
session."
Specifically, the Speaker said
he was in favor of voting on the
Norris bills for Government opera
ton of Muscle Shoals and for
abolishing lame duck sessions" Of
Congress, and having done with
them.
House Halted Them
Both these measures have in
the past been adopted by the Sen
ate only to run into the hard
boiled Republican organization in
the House which never would per.
NIT them to come to a vote.
Speaker Longworth said:
'T am wholly and absolutely
and definitely opposed to an
extra session. I think the slow
business recovery now Is due to
q large extent to the last special
session which ran far into the
summer. Another special ses-
sion would further retard re-

D. {. HEADS ASK
TRAFFIC. LAW
international Newsresl

Revision of the Borland law and
legislation dealing comprehen-
sively with the muddled traffic
situation will form the highlights
of the program of legislation
which the District Commissioners
will ask of Congress during the
short session starting Monday.
The commissioners have con-
ferred with Senator Arthur Cap
per, of Kansas, chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, and
while they have not placed before
him their complete program for
the short session, they have told
him that they wish particularly
to see these two measures enacted.
The Borland law, which pro-
videS for the assessing Of abutting
property for street improvements,
has largely been voided through
court decisions declaring certain
of its sections unconstitutional.
The bill governing this situation
which the Commissioners are ex-
pected to submit will provide
means Of raising funds for exten-
sionS and repairs Of streets.
The form of the traffic bill has
not been intimated to Senator
Capper by the Commissioners, but
it is expected it will be based to
certain extent on the recon-
mendations recently submitted to
the Commissioners by Professor
Miller McClintock, of Harvard,
who has just completed a survey
Of conditions here.

Mrs. J. M. Keith-MiIIer Hoped
In Face of Bad Weather;

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 90 Q.N.S).
A sharp vigil was maintained by

Australian aviatrix, who has been
missing since she took off from
Havana for Miami early yester.
day morning on flight to Pitts.
burgh.
The Pan-American Airways,
Inc, announced this morning
that no trace of Mrs. Keith.
Miller had been found since she
took off from Havana.
-Four company planes secuted
the Florida Keys yesterday after.
noon, but reported their search
was without result. -s-
May Be Safe
A checkup of other points In
Florida also revealed no trace Of
Mrs. Keith-Miller.
However, there was remote
possibility that she had landed at
some out-of-the-way point far out
of her course, since she was down
at Charleston. S. c.. a week ago
on flight to Miami without re.
vealing her identity, while an ex.
haustive search was instituted for
her.
Airport officials here expressed
belief that the plane through the
lack of a drift indicator. was
blown off its course into the Gulf
of Mexico.
Three planes are searching that
area, but up until noon they had
not reported sighting Mrs. Keith"
Miller's plane.
Gas Supply Exhausted
Since Mrs. Keith h-Miller's supply
Of gasoline could not possibly
have lasted beyond 8 p. m. yester-
day, it was regarded as certain
that her plane was down.
The aviatrix had traversed the
route from Havana to Pittsburgh
only once before, producing q
likelihood that she became con-
fused among the numerous reefs
and islands. She may have
veered far westward over the
Gulf of Mexico. or have persisted
in it's waters after flying about
| in great circles.
Flying a high speed plane, it
would have been impossible for
her to land anywhere except at
Key West. A safe landing on
the sea was considered nearly
impossible by experts.
Flew to Port Darwin
Mrs. Keith-Miller is an Austral-
ian by birth, who earned her
wings in Great Britain. In 1923
she gained world fame by making
joint flight from London to
Port Darwin in Australia with
Capt. w. N. Lancaster.

CREW SAVES
HUGE. CRAFT
AS SW|NG| IS
BURNED
Flames Attack Air Liner at
Anchor Near Lisbon; None
OF Passengers Were Aboard

LONDON, Nov. % G.N.SO.
The giant German flying boat
Do-x, the worlds largest and
most luxurious heavier-than-air
craft, was badly damaged by fire
at its anchorage in the Tagus
River at Lisbon today.
One wing of the huge air liner
was burned before the blaze was
extinguished, an exchange tele-
graph dispatch from Lisbon
stated.
Members of the crew worked
heroically to extinguish the fire
to prevent the entire craft, built
at a cost of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars and capable OF
carrying $50 persons, from being
destroyed. y.
Crew Prevents Loss
Prompt work Oh the part OF
the crew Is believed to have saved
the giant air liner from complete
destruction.
The ship was to have left
Lisbon today for Cadiz to have
its IL motors inspected.
Commander Friedrich Chris
tiansen and the entire crew were
aboard the DO-X when the fire
broke out. There were no passen-
gers aboard.
The blaze was discovered at
Q a. M, Eastern standard time.
Leisurely Flight
The DO-x reached Lisbon after
q leisurely flight across Europe
from its home base at Altenrheln,
Switzerland, during which a num-
Der of unexpected adventures
were encountered. The first leg
of the flight to Amsterdam was
made without incident, but while
anchored in the Zuyder Zee, a
tug rammed the ship and pune
tured hole in one Of the pom
toons.
The giant craft took off tor
Calshot Aerodrome, Southampton.
Arriving there without incident,
the ship attracted thousands of
British visitors.
Forced to Descend
Leaving in a heavy fog the
DO-X ran into difficulties off the
French coast and was forced to
descend off Les Sables D'Olonnes
because of darkness. Commander
Christensen then TAXED along
the surface of the water for so
miles, finally anchoring off La
Rochelle, between the mainland
and the little fortified island of
Re.
The next hop, to Bordeaux, 100
miles, was uneventful. After a
brief stop the DO-X took off Tor
La Corunna, Spain, but was
forced down at San Sebastian by
stormy weather. TWenty-four
hours later the ship completed It's
flight to Corunna, but was again
held there for a considerable pc
riod by storms. The ship ar
rived at Lisbon at i0:15 a. m !,
Eastern standard time, Thursday.
