CONGRESS MAY
PASS ON ISSUE
OF PHILIPPINES
Question of Separation from
u. S. Ready for
Decision.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIAIMS.
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Inde-
pendence for the Philippine islands
may be voted before the end of the
coming congress.
The bitterest battle for freedom
since the American occupation of
this far eastern outpost a third of
century ago is scented here with
the odds perhaps a little better than
even that the Filipinos will win.
Both the pros and the ants have
conducted personal investigations in
the islands during the past sum-
mer and With the realization that
the question of separation from the
United States will likely come to a
head this winter.
That the Hoover administration is
aware Of the approaching crisis is
apparent. Secretary of War Pat
rick j. Hurley, whose department
administers the Philippines, is now
in the islands.
Senator Harry B. Halves, Mis-
souri,, author of the independence
bill most likely to be acted upon,
has just returned to Washington
from a similar tour of inspection.
At his Office here the senator
charged that Americans in Manila
are deliberately and Systematically
deceiving the people of the United
States with regard to independence
sentiment among Filipinos.
According to these Americans, he
said, only few politicos are preach
ing freedom and even these are
not sincere about it.
The truth is, he declared, every
body in the Philippines want indie
pendence-city people, country folk,
Protestants, Catholics and Moham-
medans, the masses, schools and
colleges. Even the Moros, headed
by the Sultan of Sulu, and con-
stantly being held up by the ants
as vigorously opposed to independ-
ence, have publicly come out for it.
81 am not running for office"
Senator Halves said. Il announced

that two years ago. So you can
leave me out of the p'-ture. But
do think the American people are
entitled to the truth"
A plea for independence written
by the islands most famous son,
General Aguinaldo, the Filipino
George Washington, was brought to
this country by the MiSsourian.

ACCUSE COPS IN
ROBBERY PLOT
Reds Charge 'RaiIroading'
of 'ConfeSSed' Bandit.

BIZ United Press
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. IL
Communists and Portland police to-
day amplified charges of engineer
ing a bank robbery each made
against the other.
Police contended that the Com
munist party sponsored the $1,000
robbery of the First National bank
of Aurora, Sept. as a preliminary
to a $1,000,0O0 Seattle express COM
pany robbery. Loot, police declared,
was to be used to finance party &C
tivities.
A statement of Fred Walker,
Communist party educational direc-
tor, declared police arranged the
Aurora robbery to manufacture a
red plot" Walker also charged
that state police "railroaded" to
prison Louis Bruggman, one of a
trio who pleaded guilty to the rob-
berry and were sentenced to a ten
year prison term.
From state prison, Bruggman in
sisted that state policemen beat
him until he confessed. The con-
vict declared he was innocent, that
he had been employed by w. B.
O'Dale and M. E. Bacon of the
Portland police departments anti
Communist squad as an investiga-
tor and drove the other two to the
bank under police orders.
Frank Farley and Ed Sigmund,
who also confessed to the bank
robbery, were declared by Brugg-
man to have been the actual rob-
berS.

fails to reveal any trace Of this
document" he observed, yet it was
carried in full weeks ago by the
newspapers of Manila"
General Aguinaldo declared that
the people of his country are unanI-
nous in favor of independence, how
ever grateful they may be for what
America has done for them.

BRITISH SPEED
STARS READY
FOR AIR RACES
Squadron Leader Adds
More Fast Flying Time
to His Record.

By United Press
CALSHOT AIR STATION, Sept.
Observation-Disclosures A. H. Orle-
bar, captain of the British Schnei-
der trophy team, will aggregate
about twenty-five hours Of high
speed flying time by the time the
Schneider trophy contest starts
tomorrow.
Few pilots in the world have done
so much flying in Superseded
planes as Orlebar, yet, including
his activities in 1929 and again this
year, his total number of hours IS
amazingly small.
The striking illustration Of the
British leader shows the compare
lively short flying time high-Speed
pilots have to acquire thorough
mastery of their machines.
Hours on Ground
Most of them spend hours study
ing their engines, and weather
conditions while on the ground.
Blackboard talks and study sessions
never are below high-Speed avia-
tors.
Every movement of the plane In
actual fight must be studied and
moments spent aloft must be utll-
lied if valuable knowledge and ex-
- I4a rr0iTAnd
The routine for British pilots at
tached to the high-speed flight iS
always the same.
The budding pilot begins in an
old type seaplane, then, moving on
to high-speed machines, he goes out
first on the Gloster-Napier Nv BIZ
plane, proceeds to the SIS of 1927
fame, tries the Golden Gloster' VI,
and finally, after a turn with the
modified 1929 S62 monoplanes, is
qualified for flying the newest
racers.
EngIand's Team
Lieutenants c.. H. Stainforth, E.
j. L. Hope and F. w. Long probably
will be the three pilots to represent
Great Britain.
There is just an outside posi-
bility that Orlebar may enter the
contest. He did not fly in 1929.
During the last few weeks Stain
forth has spent more time in the
air plotting the new Vickers Super
marine Rolls-Royce SOB mono
planes than any other member of
the high-speed flight except Orle-
bar.
In 1929 Stainforth was one of the
pilots selected to race for Britain
but was left out at the last minute
when his machine, the Golden
Gloster VI, developed engine
