4L|NDY" TO TAKE
LESSON IN FLYING
Must Pass Examination
to Fly clipper" Over Trans
L caribbean Route.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 7.-Col
Charles A. Lindbergh, the worlds air
hero, is going to take flying lesson.
The object is to pass his examine
tons as pilot of the American Clipper,
largest transport plane ever to go into
regular operation on an airline
Lindbergh, as technical adviser Of
Pan-American Always, is going to fly
the big boat from Miami, November IT.,
on its first regular trip over the trans
caribbean route between North and
South America.
But first he must. in compliance with
the company's regulations, be checked
out" as an experienced pilot of the craft.
Although several of his technical ideas
are Incorporated in the plane, which
was conceived three years ago and took
two years to build, he has never had the
opportunity to sit at the controls.
Sc he plans to go to Miami and get
his experience under the eagle eye of
Basil Rowe, chief seaplane pilot for the
company.
His 1,70O-mile fight from Miami to
Panama by way OF Cinefuegos, Cube,
Kingston, Jamaica, and Barranqulila,
Colombia, will serve to emphasize the
progress in commercial aviation in that
area since February g. 1929, when he
made his pioneering flight from Miami
to the Canal Zone
The longest ove--water hop was the
110-mile stretch from Havana, and
there were those who shook their heads
at the idea of an air route over hat
much of the Calibbean. The regular
route which Lindbergh will follow on
the coming trip strikes boldly over 500
miles of water from Cuba to Jamaica,
then across another $50 miles of sea
from Jamaica to Colombia.

PINCHOT URGES SLASH
IN ELECTRIC PRICES
Governor Tells Science Session of
Academy Appliance Sales Would
Bring Low Rates.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, November Gov.
Clifford Pinchot, speaking before the
American Academy of Political and
Social Science last night, said, electric
power and electric appliance companies
could contribute to industrial recovery
by lowering prices.
The academy is holding a two-day
meeting, discussing power and the
public"
Nobody questions the field for in
creased use of appliances at more rea-
sonable prices" said the governor
Low cost of current means low cost of
operation, and that induces purchase.
With the increased use of appliances.
there would be increased consumption
and under an adequate system of reg
ulation further reduction of rates
would become possible"
The governor advocated Federal reg
ulatlon of power companies, rather
than regulation by States because of
the interstate nature of much of the
power business.

Gave Party Majority.

GRIFFIN, Ga, February 14.-Quimby
Melton a member of the Georgia Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, today made
public letters written to two members
of the Democratic National Committee
suggesting that lone of the two stand
ard bearers in 1882 come from one of
the eight States that remained loyal in
1928 and cast their electoral vote for
the party nominees"
The letters were addressed to John ].
Raskob, chairman of the National Com
mittee, and to Maj. John S. Cohen,
editor of the Atlanta Journal and ma
tionaI committeeman from Georgia.
Mr.. Melton's letter to Chairman
Raskob read in part as follows:
1T seems to me that the time has
come when our party should give some
tangible evidence of gratitude to those
States that stay hitched' to the party
in and out of season, refusing to wan
der of into strange lands following
queer doctrines Matched in queer minds.
During the campaign of 1928 loyal
Democrats in eight States not only went
to the polls and voted for the party
nominees, but worked untiringly for
them and kept their States in the
Democratic columns"
Mr.. Melton said he would be a candi-
date for delegate to the next national
convention from Georgia with view to
introducing a resolution pledging the
party to select one of its two candidates
from one of those eight States that
remained loyal in 1921

POOLS ARE IGNORED
IN FISCAL PROGRAM
Capital to Go Through An
other Summer Without
Proper Bathing Facilities.

Washington will apparently go
through another Summer without the
advantage of proper bathing pool ia
cilities, as the District Commissioners
failed to recommend any in their finan-
cial program submitted to Congress for
the coming fiscal year and Congress has
taken little interest in the proposal.
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant. Sd, director
of Public Buildings and Public Parks,
explained today that Congress has
au horized the construction of six bath
ing pools. Two have been constructed.
that for white bathers at Mckinley
High School, First sreet and Lincoln
road northeast, and that for colored
bathers at the Francis School, Twenty
fifth and N streets. Money for con-
structing the four authorized bathing
pool projects has not as yet been ap-
propriated.
Estimates Submitted.
Col. Grants office submitted an esti-
mate of two bathing pool prolectS 10
be constructed in the coming flscal year,
which begins July l, but The Dlstrlct
Commissioners have failed to recon-
mend them.
+. w. Hoover, general manager OF the
Welfare and Recreat.onal Association CT
Public Buildings and Grounds, Inc,
which operates the two existing swim
ming pools. said today that the pools
will likely be opened about the middle
of June and that night lighting will be
in force again this season.
Attendance Doubled.
During the past Summer. Mr. Hoover
said, the attendance Of the Mckinley
High School pool practically doubled,
but this was accounted for, in part, by
the Inauguration of night swimming.
Figures compiled by Mr.. Hoover's
Office show that for 1929, when the
Mckinley pool was opened, the attend
ance for the entire season totaled
38,775, while last year the attendance
aggregated 72,605 The Francis swim
ming pool, opened in 1928, brought a
total attendance for that year of 27,902,
for 1929 a total of 23,143, while for last

DAVIS MAY LEAD
POWER ISSUE FIGHT
Democratic Lawyer ConSid-
cred for Senate Counsel
in Test Case.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
John w. Davis, Democratic presi-
Dental nominee in 1924, may represent
the Senate in its history-making court
contest with President Hoover over the
right to Office of Chairman Smith OF
the Power Commission.
Davis is being seriously considered by
the Judiciary subcommittee, appointed
to select counsel for the Senate and the
committee is now negotiating with him
The former presidential candidate Is
only one of many nationally known
lawyers who have been under considera-
ton by the committee.
Others Are Considered.
Among the others were Chairman
George w. Wickersham of the Law En-
forcement Commission, who was At
tcrney General under President Taft;
Former Senator George W. Pepper of
Pennsylvania and William D. Guthrie,
former president of the New York State
Bar Association.
These all indicated, however, that for
one reason or another they were not
available.
Members of the subcommittee are
DESTROYS of obtaining a lawyer of out
standing distinction because they feel
test is important over and beyond the
question of whether Chairman Smith
should retain his Office.
See High Court Decision.
The issue is sharply drawn conflict
between the President and the Senate,
which many members expect will be
determined finally by the Supreme
Court.
President Hoover has refused to re-
turn Smiths nomination to the Senate,
although the Senate has reconsidered
the vote by which it confirmed him and
finally rejected his appointment.
The President held that after Smith
had been confirmed and had taken Of
flee his nomination could not be re-
considered by the Senate
Never before has a similar issue
arisen, and many Senator's believe it
will take its place in history with other
famous constitutional conflicts between
the executive and legislative branches
of the Government.

Istanbul, Turkey, July SO.-Two
American aviators, after flight
of approximately 5000 miles thru
fog and wind over the Atlantic
and down through Europe brought
their black and yellow plane to
earth here today, claimants to the
world record for distance flying In
a straight line.

4:59 a. m. E. s. T. on Tuesday
and landed here at 6:16 E: S: T.
this evening making the flight In
40 hours and II minutes.
Their arrival at their destination
after what must have been thous-
ands of miles of blind flying, was
a remarkable achievement OF navl-
CATION. The plane, probably flying
high and fast, was not sighted OF
reported at any point along the
route except when it passed out z
sea over Newfoundland and ever
] then it was not identified.
