If Hutchinson followed the coast and avoided the danger 0us overland crossing, as Danish authorities expected him to do he would have added about 100 uiiles to his route.s The Am- rhfbian carried enough fuel for a flight of between 800 and 900 miles.
 Aboard the plane were Col and Mrs Hutchinson; their two young daughters, Katherine 8, and Janet EAe, 6; Navigator Peter Redpath; Mechanic Joseph Ruff, Radioman Gerald Altissish and Cameraman Norman Alley.
 S ssAmong the craft seeking the missing plane were numerous life boats," large rowboats used by the fishing fleet and usually in charge of women. Greenland authorities attempted to reach the Danish ex- DloTer, Knud Rasmussen, whose ship, the Thstauning, was believed on the east coast.
 It was believed he could aid in the search.

Hiram Bingham
 May Be Opposed
(Continued from Page 1.)

Professor Fisher said he prob ably would not make known his decision until the eve of the 1nde- pendent republican convention, to be held at Stone business college, New Haven, next Saturday.
 Despite his aloofness from active politics, the economist has long been a keen student of political activities. He is a close friend of Governor Clifford Pinchot of Penn sylvania, who shares his unortho- dox republicanism and dry views on prohibition.
 "There is no doubt that a great number of people seek release from the present situation with re- gard to the two parties" Fisher said to-day in commenting on tho development of the independent movement in Connecticut this year.
 Between 200 and 250 delegates are expected to attend the conven. ton Saturday. Leaders assert al- most every county in the state will be represented.
 Committees on nominations, cre- dentiais and platform were chosen Saturday at a meeting of leaders over which Professor Albert Levitt of Bedding presided.
 Levitt has announced he will run against Bingham but if Fisher is willing to accept the nomination Levitt probably will run for gover- nor, as he has in past years.
 N Levitt, father of the independent republican movement in connecti- cut. is . dry but he has based hlf fight on opposition to J. Henry Roraback's dual status hs state re- publican leader and public utilities magnate. This year tho insursent won tho support of tho powerful ehunch and dry forces which were aiienated from the republican party by Senator Bingham's ardent sspousai of beer and repeal.

 munist motions ,rescinding Presi- dent Paul Won Hindenburg's emer. gency decree of September 4, pro- viding a rigid one-year plan ot economy to save the country's fi- nances, and also of misconfidence in the government.
 Won Papen immediately read c decree of dissolution. Goering re. fused to leave the rostrum, how eyer, and insisted on a vote. The Communist motions were passed 513 to 32, with only five absten- tions.
 Amid thunderous cheers from the opposition, Goering declared he considered the Dissolution decrees invalid because they were pre- sented by a government which had been overthrown by the Reichstag. The Reichstag then adjourned until tomorrow, despite the fact that the government now regards it as non- existing.
 The government was expected to proclaim a etate of emergency this evening, under which it would rule much as under martial law. 1t was thought troops probably would oc- cupy the Reichstag to prevent 1t from meeting tomorrow.
 The dissolution order was pre- coded by the most dramatic. scene in German parliamentary history. Von Papen walked to the rostrum with the familiar red government proclamation, containing Won Him. denburg's dissolution decree, under his arm.
 Goering brushed Won Papen aside, exclaiming:
 Don't you see the house is now busy taking @ vote?"
 Such an open challenge to the governments authority was greeted with stormy applause from a vast majority of the deputies. Won Papen, outwardly calm but obvi- ously struggling with intense emo-- ton, opened the portfolio ana handed Goering paper containing the dissolution order.
 Goering raised his hand with a gesture of refusal, whereupop Won Papen dumped the dissolution or der on the speakers desk while all the members of the cabinet nled out of the hall amid Communist shouts of down with the Won Papen government"
 Grand Old Man
 New York, Sept 12-(UP)- Field Marshal Paul Won Hinden- burg, the aged president of the Reich, is still "the grand old man" of Germany, Dr Julius Curtius, for mer German foreign minister, said to-day when he arrived on the s. s. Columbus at almost the same hour the Reichstag at Berlin was being dissolved by presidential decree.
 Dr Curtius said the "junkers," once powerful landlords of im- perial Germany, were not in con- trol of the nation, although many foreign observers have considered the present cabinet of Chancellor Franz Von Papen representative of junkerdom.
 "The German government is of all the people and not of one group" he said. "Adolph Hitler, the Fascist leader, has reached the climax of his power. The turning point was August 13 when the president refused Hitler's request to be made a 'Mussolini of Ger many. The president will never name Hitler as chancellor"
 Dr Curtius, who said the chief desire of the German people and the Reich government was for peace with it's neighbors, will lec- ture in. the United States, starting October 3 at San Francisco. His son, Klaus, a student at Columbia university, greeted him.

 It also indicated that it would favor a gubernatorial candidate in opposition to Governor John H. Trumbull, the regular nominee, and the rest of the state ticket.
 Just how far the independent forces will effect the local s. o. p. machine was another source of problem to-day. The republicans are set to back Congressman Goss for the g. o. p. election to the Washington post. But who the in- dependents will nominate for the congressional office remains to be seen.
 And how will the nominations run on local senatorial and house posts? Well, said local independ- ents to-day, there will be substan- tially strong candidates offered. Judge T. V. Meyer of the city court is to be nominated for the state senate in the 18th district. Local regulars were wondering who the independents would choose. In the 18th there was reported a very great adverse feeling against the

Hope About Gone


 Angmagsalik, Greenland, Sept 12 -(UP) = Seaplanes, motorships, Eskimo fishing boats and bobbinG kayaks hunted the waters of Den- mark strait off Greenland to-day in a vain search for Colonel George R. Hutchinson, his wife, two 'chil- dren and crew of four, who were forced down yesterday on a flight from North America to Europe. As night drew on, the grave anxiety of the day deepened and the rescuers held little hope of finding the flying family" since the strait had been well covered by the fleet of searchers, no word had been heard since the planes last sos by radio late yesterday.
 Danish and British explorers joined the Eskimos in the hunt. Eskimos from Tungujortek and Kitak put out in kayaks-tiny skin canoes-and even the women of the fishing villages launched their 'wifeboats."
 Quintin Riley and F. Spencer Chaplin, of the H. G. Watkins Brit ish scientific expedition, left here in a motorboat to aid the hunt.

not sure whether he would be helped of fined for landing. ,
 Greenland authorities gave the flying family all the help they could. They permitted Hutchinson to use stores of gasoline which had been deposited for the world flight by Col Charles A. Lindbergh, but ended when Lindbergh and his wife capsized in the Yangtze river.

Opposition To Waterway; 1;

An unexpected movement against the Great Lakes-St Lawrence seaway has been started by the Lake Carriers association, which controls most of the present bulk traffic on the lakes. It proposes to fight the ratification of the treaty arrived at by the United States and Canadian governments for joint construction of the waterway. The president of the association says that less than 5 per cent of the total tonnage handled on the Great Lakes in normal season needs an outlet to the sea.
 This being the case, he argues there surely can be no imperative need in the present water transportation facilities The saving to be effected has been greatly exag- gerated. and the extent to which this saving will go to the farmer is debatable.' Most students of the subject have agreed that the saving would more than repay the cost of the project even if that cost were not likely to be met by the incidental waterpower de- veloped.
 The statement that hardly any of the tonnage now handled on the lakes needs an outlet to sea hardly seems frank. The pres- ent tonnage is mostly iron ore and coal shuttled up and down the lakes for the use of domestic industry. But how about the tonnage that may develop, for export and import. when the channel is cleared and deepened?
 The carriers are probably not showing their real hand. When they start fighting the waterway, it is natural inference that they fear the loss of their own carrying trade that they want to keep the Great Lakes for themselves. by shutting out the shipping that might intrude through the new seaway. This. if true. is defensible attitude. Even so. the carriers may be wrong about it. There may be so much more traffic for all that they themselves will benefit And certainly the lake ports and the great hinterland fecd- ing traffic into them should benefit.

The Right Idea

Representative Daniel c. Mahaney, who was returned to office last week by splen- did vote. intends to introduce bill in the Legislature when it convenes next January hat will surely find much favor among the legislators. republican as well as democratic. If we aren't mistaken some such effort was made before to have the motor vehicle de- partment amend it's ruling SO that new li- tense plates could be placed on motor vehicles earlier than December 3l. It is Representative Mahaney's belief that license plates for the new year should become legal on and after the December 18th preceding the year in which they are to be used.
 Many states have similar rulings now. Some even go so far as to permit the use of new markers as early as December 1. A fifteen-day leeway is quite enough. though. There are any number of reasons for this fifteen day period in which the new markers become legal. Perhaps the most pertinent one that We can think of offhand is the fact that it would prevent the last minute rush fCs markers that always occurs every year.

 As result of this crowding into branch offices on the last day many motorists are unable to secure their markers for the first day of the new year As result they are forced to leave their cars in garages until the legal plates have been secured. Rather than do this many of them store their cars until the first of April or even later. thus secur- ing a rebate on their annual registration fee. The state might profit by permitting early use of the new markers Certainly it is privilege that would not be abused and would make for better feelings among the motoring public We sincerely trust that . Representative Mahaney's bill will secure the support it demands.
