 The mark of 500 hours held no now that they have surpassed by scores of hours the record of Dale Jackson and Forest O'Brine. set at 40 hours plus in the 'St. Louis Robin"
 The Spartans have repeatedly de- clared they would be aloft until the Fourth of July at least, To Stay Near Field In view of the 20 days wear on the motor, the ground crew said the City of Chicago" would hover close to Sky Harbor airport so that a landing on the field could be made in the event of motor trouble. For the record to be recognized by the National Aeronautical associa- tion, the landing must be made from the takeoff field.

Moscow, July 2 P4-Nikolei Ug- preached against the policies of Jo- seph Stalin, strong man of the so- viet, today before the congress of fStalin's majority party humbly re- canted his accusations and abjured for the second time his right-wing views.
 How completely and ignominious- Ny the right wing opposition in the communist party had surrendered to Stalin and his central committee was summed up in Uglanovs abiect hu- >9nility.
 T consider" pleaded the one-time power in the communist ranks, that lone or by greatest mistakes was that in the struggle against the party line l attempted in converse tons with many party members, to represent Stalin as the person chief ly responsible for. the situation ere Ited within the party.
 Praises Stalin
 "Comrade Stalin proved. during his management of the party. that he Is deservedly the leader and a firm follower of Lenin. 1 declare solemn
 y, before the 18th congress, that l
 epudiate and decisively condemn all [ : my former mistakes and activi-
 IS.
 "Henceforth I will try, as a loyal ,lshevik, to correct these mistakes
 d take a most active part in the ruggle against the activities and zoology of the right wing" Uglanov admitted fatly that he formerly opposed the policy of the '7arty on development of state and collective farms, believing the solu- ton of the country's grain difficult ties rested chiefly in development of individual farms and in preserving Kulak farms
 Therefore I struggled against the increased assaults against the cap italistic elements of village and towns. I did not believe in quick de- ! velopment of state and collective farms and opposed severe measures against the kulak. I did not believe tn the possibility of executing the rapid ndustrialization program pre- scribed by the party. 1 believed the tempos must be adapted to the level of development Of individual farms. fought against the partys policies but now admit these policies were right and led not to a weakening but 10 the consolidation of the commun- . 55t movement abroad"

channel to the department for its use
in broadcasting police reports. The de-

WORK IS STARTED
ON RADIO BEACON
Expected to Be in Operation
ar Hunters Point by
End of Summer.

Construction OF a radio range beacon
which will guide airplane pilots to the
National Capital through a fog and
storm when they are unable to see the
ground or sky has been started by the
airways division, Department of Com
merce, at Hunters Point on the Virginia
shore of the Potomac, at the south end
of the Gravelly Point site which has
been urged for development as the Ma
kional Capitals municipal airport.
The local beacon station is the last
of chain of such stations to be con-
structed along the New York-Atlanta
Airway. Selection Of the site was de-
layed in the hope that Congress might
clear the muddle which has clouded the
District airport situation.
When Congress adjourned without
taking final action on local airport leg
tslation, however, the airways division
was forced to go ahead ana establish
the beacon on a site which seemed most
likely to meet the future airport situa-
ton here.
The beacon, which viii guide pilots

POLICE PREPARE
RADIO NET HERE
Tenth Precinct to Transmit
L0ok0utS Over Wide
Area.

Preparations for establishing q radio
communication network for the appre-
hension Of criminals were started to-
day by police officials.
The plans provide for erection of a
central transmitting station at the
tenth precinct station and equipment
of all motorized patrols with receiving
apparatus. Receiving sets also will be
installed in the Offices of police authori-
ties in various sections of nearby
Maryland and Virginia, thus enabling
the department to blanket q wide
spread area with broadcasts of look
outs for criminals.
Policeman James Kelly, the depart
ment's radio expert, who will have
charge Of the radio installation, started

ries funds for the purchase Of these
cars, and bids, already advertised, will
be opened next week.
Mai. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent
of police, believes the new radio COM
munication system will greatly increase
the effectiveness of the department in
the apprehension of criminals. The
value of radio in police work, he said,
already has been demonstrated, par
ticularly in Chicago and Detroit.
Through the central transmitting sta
ton, Maj. Pratt explained, the depart
ment can keep in constant communica-
ton with the patrol force, and in an
emergency can muster the cars at any
point they may be needed without de-
lay. The system, he said, also will en-
able the department to warn police
within a radius of so miles of WASH
ington to be on the lookout for any
criminal who might escape from this
Jurisdiction, thus reducing his likeli-
hood of making a getaway.

The airwayS division also Is erecting

virtually completed, is located on

mac River, about miles below the Dis

cult with weather information stations
