vote of SO to 30 and sent it to Gov. C..
Ben Ross, whose signature will make

PHILADELPHIA, February 27.-In
order to get f1rst-hand information
concerning the manner in which
shelter for homeless men is being con-
Quoted, Mayor Harry A. Mackey has
eaten and slept in the shelter disguised
as one of the unemployed.
His makeup was SO good he was not
even recognized by guards assigned to
the executive offices at City Hall.
Instead of a modiShly attired chief
magistrate, he emerged a shambling
figure with unkempt hair and set of
WhiskerS. He wore a dotted blue shirt
open at the neck, old corduroy coat,
baggy trousers, squeaky shoes and a
battered felt hat.
He has played three one-night stands
at the shelter during the last two weeks
and found the food and sleeping ac-
commodationS excellent
The Mayor made these disclosures
during a conference with a committee
which asked that the city appropriate
$9000,000 for the unemployed and that
jobless men be paid SIS a week.
Criticism of conditions at the shelter
brought a sharp reply.
Don't you tell me anything about
the shelter" the Mayor said. II go
there constantly, mingle with the men
and sleep there in disguise. 1 spend a
great deal of my salary there. I take
the men music and last week I took
them 5000 cigars and cigarettes"
The shelter is operated by the Mayors

TRANSPAC|F|C HOP
REVEALS BAD LUCK
Herndon and Pangborn Had
Flying Time Faster Than
Rivals Elapsed Total.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 13.-The
round-the- world flight of Hugh Hern-
con and Clyde Pangborn illustrates how
Tickle Fortune plays hob with the best
laid plans.
If Lady Luck hadn't taken a nose
dive from her perch on their plane. the
boys might have Snatched the globe
girdling record from Post and GAtty.
But then Herndon and Pangborn
wouldn't have been the first men to
make a nonstop eastward flight over
the Pacific from Japan to the United
Site
The Gatty-Post combination circled
the world in days Is hours and 81
minutes. OF that total. 4 days 10 hours
and minutes represented flying time
the time actually spent in the air.
Accidents Upset Plans.
At first glance the Herndon- Pangborn
figures seem to indicate they never had
chance to break the record. When
they arrive back in New York it will
have taken them more than two months
and a half to go around the earth.
Allowing a generous 80 hours for their
fight from Wenatchee to New York,
their flying time will be days % hours
and SO minutes.
But that two and half months rep
reSentS the result of bad weather, acci-
dents. a change in plans and legal diff
ficulties. When Pangborn and Herndon
set out from New York July 30 it was
their intention to fly around the world
with only a few brief stops for fuel
say total of four or five hours. They
planned to alternate at the controls,
Snatching enough sleep to keep them
going Thus they hoped to overcome
the advantage Of the Post-Gatty expe-
dttion, which had a faster ship. but
spent almost half OF its time on the
ground because Post was doing all the
flying, while Gatty attended to the nav
igation.
Flying Time Still Faster.
But luck deserted them early In the
attempt and they few into bad weather
over Soviet Russia. They made forced
landing en- route to Omsk, and a wing
of their plane was damaged landing at
Khabarovsk. Soon they were more than
% hours behind Post and Gatty's time,
so they decided to abandon their record
attempt and go to Toxic instead Of
eading for Meme. Alaska
In Japan they ran into the charge of
flying over and photograpEing fortified
positions which resulted in fines and a
long delay.
Their flying time. even with the long
detour to Japan is II hours or so faster
than the total elapsed time of Post and
Gatty, so it is conceivable that II they
had kept going without mishaps and
had been aided by reasonably good
weather, they might have set a new
world record.
