Speed IN AIR
Safety Is Assured, Says

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Aviation'S
important move now must be the
speeding up of pay loads in order to
advance successfully and proftably.
The safety of flying has been as
sured, leaving only the conquering
of the time element for a greater
public support.
My sole purpose in being here and
entering the Thompson-speed race
next Monday is because it will give
me another chance to display speed.
While it is a race to me, it is the
commercial practicability of speed
that I am interested in.
My mystery ship, Texaco 10, is no
mystery to me-that is in regard to
what it can do It has done much
to teach me just what can be done
with speed and commercial flying.

BY CARLOS LANE

To the middle west, and particu-
larry to Indiana, commercial avia-
ton will come for development from
a lusty youngster to a giant indus
try, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd
believes.
BY virtue of its geographical To-
cation, distribution of the country's
population, the wealth of its indus
try, particularly in northern sections
of the state, and with terrain natur-
ally adapted to construction of air
ports, the Hoosier state offers I'M
limited possibilities to future flying,
he said.
Il always have believed your state
has a great aviation future. I have
watched its development of that in
dustry closely, and have inspected
the state as carefully as possible on
several trips over it by air." the adj
miral said, answering questions of
newspaper men in an interview at
the @Claypool Monday afternoon.
Interviewed by Student
Differing from many who have
achieved fame, Admiral Byrd re-
ceived the reporters affably, and
chatted with them, often humor-
ously, for more than half an hour.
During the early minutes he
answered questions of Fletcher
Humphrey, a crippled Shortridge
high school student.
Adamant in his refusal to sit
down, Fletcher stood on his
crutches, asking questions for a
story he will write for the Short
ridge Echo, official student publica-
ton, when school reopens next
week.
The admiral admitted he will
make another expedition in the
future, but explained he still was
too much concerned with work sub
sequent to his south pole trip to
have made accurate plans.
The expedition will be of scien-
tiflc nature, he disclosed.
Likes Airport Here
He lauded the municipal airport
here, over which his plane circled
en- route from Chicago to Mars Hill
Monday.

Byrd said after a side trip to the

Shortly after national guard

to escort the Byrd plane here from
Lebanon, Monday afternoon, the
new tri-motored Stinson in which
the admiral made the trip to In
dianapolis, circled the field above
the crowd of almost 1000 persons.
They damned against lines of
national guardsmen that held open

greeted by M. P. Muller, Exchange
Club president, Governor Harry G.
Leslie and Mayor Reginald Sullivan.

Walking through the lane to the
official auto to convey him down.
town, Admiral Byrd halted the pro-
cesSion to greet an old friend whom
he recognized in the crowd.
It was Bob Shank, president of
Hoosier airport, with whom the adj
miral was associated in aviation in
the east eleven years ago.
The caravan of autos proceeded
north to Washington street, and
thence east to Missouri street, where
bands, color guards, a platoon of
naval reserves and drum corps
joined the parade.
On the steps of Soldiers and Sail
ors' monument, after brief cere-
mony, Mayor Sullivan presented
Admiral Byrd with a medal voted
him by the city.

SURE MOONEY
is INNOCENT.
Belief Is Strengthened by
Supreme Court Hearing,
Griffin Asserts.
BY MAX STERN
Times STAFF Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.--"My
belief in the absolute innocence of
Tom Mooney and Warren Billings is
not only confirmed by the recent
supreme court rehearing; it Is
strengthened" said Superior Judge
Franklin Griffin, the man who sat
in the Mooney trial fourteen years
ago and who was forced to impose
a hanging sentence upon the VIC
tim.
Judge Griffin for years has been
in the forefront OF the pardon cru
SADIE, writing appeals to three COVER
norS, speaking at mass-meetings,
using his influence to impress Cali
fornia with the enormity of the
crime he believes it has committed
against the two laborites.
Last year before 1000 citizens in
the mass-meeting here he called the
Mooney case "one of the dirtiest
jobs ever put over"
Delay Is Regretted
Il resent the fact that any court
was used for such a contemplate
piece Of work." he declared. u re-
greet that the Governor has taken
such a long time to acts"
Today he said he holds these SEN
timents more strongly, if possible,
than he did before the Billings re
trial"
THE recent rehearing has devel-
oped nothing new except to prove
the witnesses capable of telling new
perjuries as they went along" he
said.
who could believe John Mac
Donald after his shifting stories?
I told Governor Stephens in my first
letter that MacDonald's testimony
could be demonstrated as. tissue
of falsehoods by use Of simple
mathematics. 1t was economically
false, That he changed his testi-
mony between the Mooney and Bill
ings trials was not surprising, know
ing that he is simply incapable Of
telling the truth.
Strong Alibis for Both
Estelle Smith; it is inconceivable
that any one should place the least
credence in her stories. She was,
of course, not used in the Mooney
trial.
Never in my career as a judge
has a case come to my attention
in which all the principal witnesses
were perjurers. The only parallel
in history so far as I know is the
DreyfuS cases.
When, in addition to the fact
that the only witnesses to have
placed the men at the scene Of the
crime have been proven perjurers
there have been introduced strong
alibis for both, one simply can not
see how these two men can be kept
in Jail any longer"
