AUSTRALIA TARIFF
 ON AUTOS STUDIED
Makers Doubt Plants Will Be
 Built in Country

Detroit, April 2 (UP)-Although reluctant to discuss the probable re- suit of the new tariff schedules in Australia until they were able to study the higher rates, leaders in the automobile industry were almost unanimous today in stating that erection of motor manufacturing plants in Australia would not follow.
 The Australian market, it was eX- plaincG, is not sufficient to warrant the expenditure necessary to erect the plants, it was said.
 Ford of Canada, however, has one central plant at Zeclong and four smaller plants. Some cars are manufactured there and others are assembled. General Motors has six assembling plants.
 It was explained that the Aus tralian tariff Of motor cars is eX- ceedinsly intricate and doubt was expressed that the announced in crease was in reality ono of a 50 per cent surchargc above ordinary rates The rates apply not to the car as a whole. it was said, but to it's various component parts.
 Virtually no car bodies are ex- ported from the United States to Australia. because of the high duty on them. A flat rate of at least s475 applies to all bodies. Conse- quently American made chassis usually in "knockcd down" condition are shipped and the Australian made bodies are added at the point of destination.

Circles Field in Motorless Ship and Settles Down Directly in Front of Re- ception Committee - Engine Lands at New ark Airport.

New York, April ' H0 = Captain Frank NJ. Hawks, holder of the cast and west transcontincntal speed rec ords, enjoyed the added distinction of being the first aviator to pilot a glider from coast to coast.
 Arriving exactly on schedule, he set his small red motorlcss plane, "Eaglet" down in Van Cortlandt park at D. m, yesterday to com plete a flight from San Diego, Cal. Towed at the end of a 500 foot cable behind a power plane. he made the transcontinental trip in six and orc half days, with 56 hours of actual flying time.
 Tow Rope Parted
 One mishap marred the trip, which was made in IS hops. At Tucson. Ariz, on the second day of the flight, a gust of wind parted the tow line as the aerial train was getting under way. To make up for .the delay. his "ensineer' J. D. Jer- nigin, pulled him 710 miles, two days scheduled flight, the next day.
 A crowd of 15.000 stood in the rain to sec the finish of the 5000 mile trip. A fleet of army planes oircled in formation above the park as an aerial reception committee.
 The last leg of the trip was mada from Buffalo, x. Y. with stops at Syracuse and Albany.
 When the glider and it's towing plane arrived over the park, Hawks cut loose and <he tow plane scared away toward tho municipal airport at Newark, N. J.
 Hawks banked his glider out over the Hudson river, then turned back and circled down to a landing, stop ping directly in front of the recep- ton committee headed by Bronx Borough President Henry Bruckncr and Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen.
 Hawks explained that his glider was not actually lowed on the flight but that he kept the cable slack as much of the time as possible and flew the glider to reduce the strain on it's wings. He displayed his blis- tered hands to show that it had been work.
 He said the last days flight had been the worst for weather and fly ing conditions, with rain and high winds,
 Plane Insisted On Rising
 "After taking off for Albany he said, there was a full S5 mile wind and after we got to 5000 feet l couldn't keep the glider down. I went from 5000 to 6,000 feet unin- tentionally in almost nothing fiat and in trying to keep down had to dive at about so miles an hour.'
 The aviator brought a small Cal ifornia palm tree, the gift of Mayor Harry C. Clark of San Diego which was planted near where he landed. He also carried a small sack of mail consigned to the New York post cffice.
 During the flight stops were made at night at Tucson, Ariz., Sweet water, Tex, Tulsa, Okla, East St. Louis, H., Columbus O., and Buff falo. Noon stops were made each day.
 Hawks who is an aviation execu- tive for an oil company and lives in New York, said he made the flight to stimulate public interest in glid- ing.

Washington, April 7.-Pl-Publc hearings on a proposal to halt rail- way consolidation until congress makes further legislative provision for it-probably with added govern- mental supervision-Will be suggest cd to the senate interstate con- merce committee tomorrow by it's chairman, Senator Couzcns, repub- lican, Michigan.
 The chairman, who Introduced d resolution seeking 10 stop railroad mergers, said today that he would vestisation 10 the committee in view of vigorous responses to the rcso- lution.
 Controversy Over Bill
 Considerable controversy has been stirred by the Couzens resolution for it would prevent the interstate commerce commission from author izing any of the many consultations envisaged by the mammoth plan it announced two months ago after 10 ,
 The movement for public hear ings is based on desire to hear more from the public and from the busincssys involved.' Couzcns said adding that he desired to prevent acting too quickly"
 Everybody admits the need Of now legislation simplifying previous statutes permitting consolidation v Couzens said. The resolution, if adopted, would simply hold up consolidation until congress passed this legislation-probably within d year."
 Government Supervision
 Any additional legislation provid- ing for consolidation must carry government supervision of holding companies as well as of the roads themselves to meet the approval of the committee chairman. He said he would insist that such a provision go into the Fess bill, which pro- vdes for compulsory unification. Without control over holding con- panies, he believes. the interstate commerce commission is in reality without power to insure adequate regulation.
