Filler Hops From Harbor Grace
in Attempt to Cut Lindy's
Time to Paris in Half

HARBOR GRACE, N. F.,
May Is (I.N.S.).-O day of
tragedy and sorrow, the fame
that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
won for his memorable flight
across the Atlantic sent an
other aspirant for FLYNN g
honors out across the ocean
today.
BY Fateful coincidence, Lou
Reichers Newark airman, hoped
off from Harbor Grace in an at
tempt to beat Lindbergh's record
for the flight to Paris only a
little more than IL hours after
the body of the coloneps kidnapped
and slain baby was found near
HopeweA N. j.
ReicherS got away from Har-
Dor Grace at 1929 a. M, Eastern
daylight saving time, confident he
would be able to cover the $500
miles between this port and Paris
in II hours.
Haf-Time Aim
His plan was to cut in half the
time taken by Colonel Lindbergh
for the same distance in 1927.
The flier'S craft, a Lockheed-
Affair christened Liberty" is
painted black and gold with a
drawing of the Statue of Liberty
on each side of the cockpit. It is
powered by 550-horsepower Cur
tiSs-Cyclone motor and has cruis-
ing speed of more than 200 miles
an hour.
Reichers planned to land at the
Baldonnell air field just outside
of Dublin. where all arrangements
have been made for the refueling
If things go according to SEIZED
ule, he will remain at Baldonnel
only IS minutes before taking off
for Paris.
Delayed by Accident
Reichers left st. Johns, New
foundland, for Harbor Grace
shortly before midnight. He had
planned to take off on the Atlantic
hop Immediately, but he damaged
a stabilizer fin when he landed
at the Harbor Grace airport, ne
cessitating a delay of several
hours.
Reichers got away sooner than
expected, owing to the speed with
which he patched up the canvas
on his damaged stabilizer.
Gas For IL Hours
His plane carried 551 gallons
of gasoline, which he estimated
would be sufficient for II hours
of sustained flying.
The flier made record time on
his flight here from Newark, N.
j., covering the distance in 6
hours and 10 minutes.

K|DNAP- NURDERERS
POLICE BELIEVE

Latest developments today in the
wake of the finding of the body of the
slain kidnapped baby of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh were:
President Hoover ordered every Fed
eral agency to start relentless search
for the kidnapers, their efforts not to
cease until the. guilty persons have
been caught and punished.
Col H. Norman Schwartzkopf, New Jersey
State Police Superintendent recruited 20
extra men at the Lindbergh home in Hope
well, N. j., and dispatched them on secret
missions.
Jafsie and Curtis GrilLed
John F. Condor and John Hughes Curtis,
who carried on negotiations with different
groups they believed to be the kidnapers,
were questioned through the night in the hope
they could furnish some clue enabling the
slayers to be brought to heel.
It was pretty definitely established that the
baby was slain soon after the kidnapping, prob
ably the same night he was stolen.
It was also evident to police that Condor,
known as "Jafsie" in newspaper advertise
ments, paid the $4,000 ransom actually to
either the kidnaper or slayer of the baby.
At the time the baby's body was found,
Colonel Lindbergh was aboard boat off Cape
May N. j., trying in vain to contact persons
who were attempting to blk him out of addi-
tional money.
New Jersey authorities are convinced they
know the Identities of several suspected Of
completely in the crime.

bergh baby, or the representatives of the

cops, mounted police, thugs and de-
tectives were thrown around is city
blocks in order to carry through the
eviction Of II families from 1888 Ar
now Ave-, Bronx, where a rent strike
is in progress. No one was permitted
to pass through this armed line, not
even automobiles or trucks, not even
"a cat" as one worker expressed it.
The array Of Tarnmany's armed
forces was the best indication Of the
fear they had OF a repetition Of the
Allerton Ave. battles.
Despite the Gordon, an open-air
demonstration OF almost 1000 wegk-
ers took place inside the line in front
OF No. 1873. A collection was taken
up to support tbs Unemployed Coun-
ell, the leader Of tbs rent strike. The
action Of the landlord to break the
strike worked the Opposite way. The
balance Of the workers IN the holse,
who UP until now were not striking,
Joined the strike.
The workers are stirred 10 o high
pitch by the mass eviction and said
they would picket the house until
they either won the striks or the
house was boarded up.

NEW YORK.-The American Avta-
ton Co. near Farnlingdale, l.. L.,
which produces commercial and mi
htary planes, put over a general
wage-cut last week ranging from 10
to 80 per cent. Unlike previous
slashes this one came clear from the
sky-the workers just found the cut
III their envelopes. This means that
highly skilled mechanics will have a
tough time making so cents an hour,
while mechanic helpers find them
selves reduced to 30 cents an hour,
which is far less than the scale pro-
vlded for the unemployed on the
miserable relief WORK,
The workers are still very resentful
but there exist no organization in the
plant. There can be no doubt that
this cut was suddenly put over to
obtain government contract for
making airplanes for the coming war.
The Communist Party of Long Is
land in distributing the party recruit

cial leaflet on the meaning of the cut,
is also trying to explain the connec-
ton between this brutal wage slashing
and the imperialist preparations for
war, also urging them to build up
