LAVARRE SENTENCED
TO 20 EXTRA DAYS
Former Publisher, Punished on
Charges of Contempt of Court,
Had Appealed to Congress.
BY the Associated Press.


AUGUSTA, Ga, June 28.-William
Lavarre, former Southeastern news
paper publisher, today was sentenced by
Federal Judge William H. Barrett to
serve 20 more days in Jail on charges
of criminal contempt of court
Lavarre has been in Jail here since
May 27 pending a decision in the case
The contempt charges were brought
against Lavarre originally by Federal
Judge Bascom S. Deaver of Macon,
Ga. as the result of Lavarres failure
to comply with court orders issued in
connection with his litigation with
Harold Hall. former associate in the
operation of q chain of Georgia and
South Carolina newspapers. The case
was transferred to Judge Barrett's
jurisdiction after Lavarre surrendered
to Federal authorities in Augusta the
latter part of May.
Judge Barrett held two-day hearing
on the charges about 10 days ago, but
withheld his decision until he could
hand down a written opinion. Lavarre
meanwhile was returned to the Rich
mond County Jail. A few days ago he
sent to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives in Washington a petit
ton asking congressional investigation
of the conduct Of Judge Deaver in the
Hall-Lavarre litigation. A House sub
committee is now considering Lavarres
charges against the jurist.

Plane Refueled 149 Times.
Walter Hunter, who with his brother
Albert make up the contact crew, said
last night the Wright Whirlwind motor
sounds good for another TOO hours"
AT that time, the 149th refueling con-
tact had just been successfully made
with Will Rogers, the humorist, going
aloft in the contact plane, Big Ben, to
cheer the flyers.
The endurance plane flies with a
constant list to the left. The gasoline
tank in the right wing sprang a leak
and to avoid trouble only the tank in
the left wing is used.
The brothers alternate in crawling
onto the catwalk-grease gun in one
hand and hanging onto a strut with
the other--to lubricate the engine. This

Coffee goes aloft in gallon buckets on

by the pilots sister, Miss Irene Hunter,
go up regularly three times day.
Yesterday for dinner the flyers had

Last night the brothers flew low and
dropped note of congratulations to
Maj. Charles Kingsford- Smith and his
transatlantic Southern Cross crew.
Weather has been ideal in the main
for the fight. Last night there were
cool winds to benefit the motor; today
1t was fair and warmer, but not the

which forced the flyers to cruise at a

And that is what we did. Picture to
yourselves Stannage and Capt. Saul
back there in their tiny dark compart-
ment Stannage, with his short-wave
transmitter, could send out his calls
almost around the earth. His long
wave was good for from 200 to 500
miles. Some ships had no short wave
and so Stannage would call shore sta
tions, ask them to notify all ships at
sea to listen in on their long wave and
stand by to give us bearings.
This Is the way 1t was done: Stan
mage would pick up ship southeast OF
us and ask for our bearing in relation
to that ship getting what is known as
position line. He would then fish
around In the air for another ship, say
to the northeast or southwest, and OBJ
tain from the operator aboard bearing
or position line III relation to that
vessel. Quickly he would turn the
figures over to SAUL who plotted them
on his chart. The intersection of these
two position lines would then be our
position not only in relation to the two
ships, but our approximate position in
relation to the rest of the world. Thus
we knew where We were at that par
ticular moment-and no longer.
But, then, the task was to find out
where We were going, to check our COM
passes and in our case TO PROVIDE almost
complete substitute for navigation by
observations. Poor Saul could make
little use of his Sextant without any
celestial bodies to see.
Immediately Stannage had obatined
two position lines and their intersection,
he would send out his call for more
bearings from other ships, or, perhaps,
few minutes later get them from the
vessels his original messages had come
from. Saul would plot two more posi-
tion lines on the chart, and then, find
ing the intersection, draw q line be-
tween the two intersections-whic
would be our actual course, or very
close to It, With the help OF the COM
passes for checking and these frequent
observations We could correct our drift,
something impossible to accomplish in
any other fashion when we We're flying
without seeing the ocean for so many
hours. A plane, of course, can point
its nose on the correct bearing and still
not be going with any degree of ac-
curacy toward its wished-for destina-
ton. Side winds may be pulling 1t OF
the course at the rate Of 20 miles an
hour, or more, but the pilot cannot
know this without the aid Of his drift

Presidents Statement.
The President in his statement said:
know that the appropriation re-
queSted by the Law Enforcement Com
mission for its work outside of pro-
hibition has failed in the Senate. This
deleted part of the appropriation is
that devoted to investigation into the
cause and remedy for crime in general
and for the determination of the re-
forms needed in our judicial and ad-
ministrative machinery.
"AS a matter of fact the enforce
ment of any one criminal law neces-
sarily involves the machinery by which
all criminal laws are enforced, and the
country is concerned over the cause of
increasing crime in general. Nothing
indicates the situation better than the
fact that in the last two years there
was an in increase of persons in Fed
eral prisons for serious offenses from
S,400 to over $4,000, whereas in the
previous two years the increase was
from 7,100 to 8 8,400-in other words, an
increase of 300 in the first period and
an increase of $500 in the last period
Seventy per cent of these prisoners are
for other crimes than those arising
ouS of prohibition. Our State prisons
show about the same story.
There can be no doubt that the
more vigorous enforcement of the laws
has had something to do with the Fed
eral situation. What the causes and
remedies are in respect to these TC
per cent is of vital importance.
With growing crime of all kinds and
with insistent recommendations from
every bar association and public body
concerned that we should have an &C
curate study Of the reforms necessary
in our whole judicial and administra-
tive machinery, that we should have
some constructive program for decrease
and control of crime as a whole,
cannot abandon the question for one
moment or allow the work Of this COM
mission to cease. have asked the
commission to proceed with its full
program of work and it has consented
to do so.
