VARGAS RULES RIO,
BUT WITHOUT TITLE
Rebel Leader Seeks Way to
Force Deposed Presi-
dent to Resign.
Nv tie Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO, November L.
This capital today shed the carnival
attire it donned yesterday to receive
DR.. Getuilo Vargas, new Brazilian Chief
of State, and turned to the serious bust
ness Of cementing revolutionary gains
and constructing a new government.
DR.. Vargas, who came from Sac
Paulo and the Parana-Sao Paulo border
fighting front, still lacked official title,
but his authority was recognized, and
it was felt that some legal means would
be found to place him in the office
vacated by deposition Of DR.. Washing
ton Luis.
The problem was complicated by the
former Presidents refusal to resign. He
Is still confined in the officers quarters
of the Copacabana fortress and insists
upon serving out his term, which ex-
pires November is. At that time DR..
Julio Prestes was scheduled to succeed
him, but DR.. Prestes now is refugee
in the British consulate residence in
Sac Paulo. DR.. Vargas was Prestes'
opponent in the national elections.
The train, guarded by cowboy troops
from Rio Grande do Sui, arrived sew
eral hours late. An enormous crowd
met DR.. Vargas and escorted him to
Cattete Palace, which the military junta
had invited him to occupy.
There were SO automobiles in the off,
cial procession. The first was occupied
by Vargas and Gen. Tasso Fragoso, head
of the military junta which deposed Dr.
Washington Luis. The second was &C.
cupied by two other members of the
junta, Gen. Menna Barreto and Ad-
miral Isias da Noronha. Cardinal Sc
bastiac Leme was alone In the third
car.
Shortly before nightfall army air
planes circled over the crowds and
dropped confetti.
Ticker tape was thrown from win
dows in the business district as the
revolutionary leader was driven through
the streets to the palace.

DO-X WILL SPEND
WINTER IN i. S.
Huge Plane to Stay on This
Side for Season-StartS
Trip Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALTENRHEIN, Switzerland, Novem-
Der 1.-The Dornier Works announced
today that the giant DO-X, largest
airplane in the world, would remain in
America for the entire Winter after its
forthcoming flight across the Atlantic
to New York.
1t will make flights to various parts
of the United States, but its itinerary
was not revealed.
The DO-X, was groomed today for a
start tomorrow on the first lap of its
transatlantic trip to New York.
Start Set for Tomorrow.
The huge metal bird. which can carry
more than 100 passengers, will have
10000 liters, about 4,400 gallons, of fuel
in its tanks, enough to keep its IL
engines devilering their 1900 horse
power for Is hours.
Tomorrow at am, weather per-
hitting, the plane will leave the placid
waters OF Lake Constance for Amster-
dam.
The cruise will be Of about six hours
length along the route of the Rhine
and thence across Holland to its chief
city. The ships longest flight until now
has been of five and one-half hours and
did not take the craft away from its
home lake. 1t is possible that the ship,
leaving here, will descend first at Fried
richshafen, just across the lake, in order
to make its ofhcial hop-of from Ger
man port.
Spectators may have an opportunity
to see Germany's two greatest aviation
achievements in the air at the same
time, since the Graf Zeppelin is sched-
uled to leave Friedrichshafen at 8 am.
on cruise to Chemnitz.
Six Hops Planned.
Much depends upon the weather, and
Comdr. Christensen says he will post
pone the take-off If conditions are not
exactly right, not only here. but at any
place else along the route to New York.
This itinerary is given as from here to
Amsterdam, to Lisbon, to the Azores, to
fuel ship midway to Bermuda, Ber-
muda and New York.
The ship expects to leave Lisbon for
the Azores on November 10. 1t probably
will arrive in New York about two days
later.
