 Democrat Service Speedy
 New York, November IS -(UP' - The speed of modern new transmission from far parts of the world met a severe test today in reporting the arrival of Amy John- son Mollison at Capetown after her record flight from London.
 The flash of her arrival was carried on United Press wires out of New York just 20 minutes af- ter her arrival in Capetown, which is 1000 miles away. by direct wa- ter route. A cable message from South Africa must travel at least 10, ,000 miles.
 The news was flashed by q United Press correspondent at the landing field to the cable office in Capetown. Thence it travelled by underseas cable to London, by way of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic, St Vincent, Madeira or the Azores, and thence to London.
 It was received in the London office of the United Press in, 15 minutes, and was relayed instantly by direct wire to the trarls-Atlan- tice cable head, arriving in the New York office flee minutes later.

in contrast with that of her hus. band, who was so dazed by loss of sleep that the lights of the city and the airport confused him and he missed the landing field. Cap tain Mollison landed on the soft sand of the beach and his plane turned over.
 The entire Cape colony was tre- mendously excited over the adven- ture of the young woman who set out. to beat her husbands brilliant record, daring the perils of storms along the African coast the dan- ger of being forced down in the bleak, burning sands of.the Sahara roamed by fierce Bedouin tribes men, or of sudden death or star vation in the countains and jun- gles over which she had to fly.
 Miss Johnson, the daughter of a pioneer who participated in the Klondyke gold rush and later set- tied down to become a merchant at Hull, England, left Lymone air. drome at 6:37 a. m., Monday. Mollison was at the field to tell his wife goodbye. He ascepded in his transatlantic plane, "Heart's Content" to escort her to the Eng fish channel, but sne slipped past him in the fog and was well on her way to the French coast by the time he got back to the field.
 The first hop of her flight would have been considered quite an achievement by many aviators. Thirteen hours after leaving Eng land she landed at Gran, Algeria, after flying across Europe and spanning the Mediterranean.
 The flight from Gran took the lone woman pilot over some 2,0O0 miles of the Sahara, with little chance that her tiny plane would have been found for days, if at all, If she had been forced down. Miss Johnson was missing" for almost 36 hours on this stage of the jour- ney, as she flew to Gao, in French West Africa on the upper Niger, instead of to Niema, camel post where her husband landed on his flight.
 Captain Mollison, in London, was not "unluly worried'' by the lack of news of his wife, for he knew that communications in the desert were slow. But he prepared the Hearts Content" to leave Eng land and look for her if she was

 The solemn high mass of requiem was celebrated by Rev Ed ward J. Brennan, pastor of St Mar garet's church, assisted by Rev William F. Kilcoyne of Plainville, formerly assistant pastor, and Rev James Roche, present assistant pastor, who officiated as deacon and sub-deacon respectively.

 The musical program was rem dkred under the direction of Pro- 1essor John L. Bonn, organist, with Miss Winifred Griffin as soloist. ssDomini, Jesu Christi" was rem deted at the offertory.
 The funeral was held from the home of the deceased, 206 Colum- bia boulevard, at 9:30 o'clock this morning. The body was borne from the residence, as honorary p4llbearers and members of the va- rious delegations stood as guards of honor. The church services commenced at 10 o'clock at which time the church proper, the choir and the yestibule were crowded. Scores of friends waited in the vi- ctnity of the church until the con- cflision of the obsequies to pay their last respects. Among the spectators were groups of school children who were given a recess to-day to permit them to realize the part Dr Donovan as school su- perintendent had played in their y6ung lives and perhaps in the lives of their parents.

Hoover Eager to
 Meet Successor
(continued from Page -1.)

Whether MT Hoover will recom- mend that the congress agree to a postponement of the payments due December 15, Which European na- tions now ask be held off until the whole debt question can be re- opened was believed to depend largely on MT Roosevelt's attitude.
 The president also will be guid- ed by conference Wednesday with ranking republican and dem- ocratic members of the finance com mittee of the senate and the ways and means committee of the house.
 Elect Roosevelt per- sonally telephoned the president that he would arrive by train in Washington at 3:30 p. m. next Tuesday and proceed at once to the executive offices.
 The conversation probably will not last over an hour or so, 1t was believed at the White House. The New York governor has accepted an invitation to be guest of honor Tuesday evening at the National Press Club, after which he is ex- pected to leave for Warm Springs, Ga.
 Secretary of Treasury Mills will sit in with the president at the meeting. Professor Raymond Moley long a close adviser of Roosevelt will be at the president-elect's el- bow.
 The members of congress invited
 confer with the president the following day are: Senate finance committee: Chairman Reed Shoot, Utah, Senators James D. Watson, Ind; and David A. Reed, Pa, repub- licans; and Senators Pat Harrison, Miss; Walter F. George, Ga. and William H. King, Utah, democrats. House: ways and means committee Chairman James w. Collier, Miss; Representatives Henry T. Rainey, III, and Robert l.. Doughton, N. C., democrats; Allen T. Treadway, Mass, Isaac Bacharach, N. J., and Lindley H. Hadley, Wash, republi- cans.
 The chief executives point of view, on the debt situation, as far as anyone outside the inner circle has been able to discern, is this: 1t would be better to accede partially to the demands of debtor nations for the moment, and possibly let their December 15 payments slide for the time being, in order to per- suade them into a full discussion of 6ebt payments after that date.
 This, in effect if not name. would be continuation of the 
 But if Roosevelt and the senate and house leaders feel that con- gress would not approve such . deal the president may decide to turn the case over to congress with g simple recitation of the facts of the crisis, and permit that body to \ act as it sees fl, all he could do in any case would be to submit a re- commendation. for under the law the final responsibility for any changes in the debt agreements rests with congress.

NOnpartisan Courts

For years the American Bar Association
has pledged itself to the idea that judges
should be elected on tickets which do not
bear the name of political parties and that
Judicial elections should be separated from
the election Of other officials.
By no possible concept of justice can
there be any necessity for putting a label
upon judge. That such labels have been
placed upon judges and that politicians have
always looked upon judgeships as political
jobs has done much to destroy the conf
dence of large numbers of citizens in courts
In matters involving the interests of po-
litical parties, the courts have invited cri-
ticism by decisions that failed to meet with
public approval.
One notable instance in this state was the
declaration of the supreme court that the
city manager law was unconstitutional.
A large majority of the best lawyers of
the state had declared that the law was
sound The fight against that law came from
the local political boss. The decision itself
was such as to invite suspicion that politics
and not law had dictated the conclusion.
Judges are human beings, very human.
They should not be under the constant
pressure of the thought that their continu-
ance in Office depends upon the whim of
some politician, rather than upon rectitude
and impartiality.
Indiana is one of the states which still
elect political judges. Many other states
have long abandoned this practice. Judges
are chosen at judicial elections on tickets
which bear no relationship to the political
parties.
If the Democratic party desires to rem
der real service, it will change the system at
the next legislature.
