BOLT BY
JOHNSON
Party Leaders Fear Cali
fOrnia Senator May Aid
Roosevelt.
PRAISES DEMOCRAT
Other Midwest Senators
Would Provide Com
pany For Hiram.

WASHINGTON, July S. Up) -
Senator Hiram Johnson, fiery Cali
fornian, had the Republican cam
paign managers on the anxious seat
today. They feared he was about
to come out definitely in support
of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Democratic nominee for president.
The California Republican long
has been a bitter foe of President
Hoover. He issued a statement
praising Roosevelt in glowing terms
for flying to Chicago to address the
Democratic convention. But he de-
clined to say specifically whether
his statement meant that he would
bolt the Republican ticket and sup
port Roosevelt in the campaign.
johnson bolted in 1912 and ran
for vice-president on the Bull
Moose ticket headed by Theodore
Roosevelt. In 1916 he withheld his
: active support from Charles Evans
Hughes, the Republican candidate.
This was generally considered to
have contributed greatly to Wood
row Wilson's close victory In Cali
fornia. The whole result hinged on
that state and Wilson was re-
elected.
Johnson would have the company
of other western Republicans II he
supported Roosevelt: Senator Nor
ris, Nebraska insurgent, favors the
New York governor, just as he
backed Alfred E. Smith against Mr..
H.. CnYlofnrc PraOk- -
hart of Iowa and Frazier OF North
Dakota have declared they would
not support Mr. Hoover, but they
have not definitely come out Tor
Roosevelt.
Senator Borah Idaho, star cam
'-ff,aigner for Mr.. Hoover In 1928, has
said he would not support him this
wear If he ran on the platform laief
down by the party convention.

Y, temporary chairman, and organ
ization of the convention. the reso-
lutions committee went into session
to debate platform proposals.
Arthur Barnhart, Chicago, COM
mander of the Saracens, group
fighting prohibition repeal, was
scheduled to address the platform
committee.
Meanwhile delegates, who num-
bered approximately 400, awaited
word from Senator William E.
Borah (Rep.) Idaho, regarding his
decision on the presidential nomi-
nation. If Borah accepts the NOM
ination, delegates predicted he
would poll 100000 votes in Nov
ember.

U.P|-James Mattern and Bennett
Griffin, around the world flyers,
arrived safely at 2:37 p. m. (EST) +,
after having been lost in fog and
rain over northeast Newfoundland
for more than two hours.
The flyers, bound for Harber
Grace on the start of their flight
around the globe seft New York at
4:04 a. m, (EST), today and en-
countered almost impenetrable fog
and rain when they reached New
foundland.
They far over-shot their maIk
and were first sighted, swooping
low out of the fog, in the Cape
Freels region, 125 miles north OF
here.
They were given directions by
natives after dropping note ask
ing for information and disappeared
In the fog to the south.
The fog lifted over Conception
bay and the flyers were able to get
their bearings. When they arrived
here the fog had again settled
down, but they found the field
with little difficulty.

If the transforming flyers who
lifted skyward this morning with
no flats for landing in the ocean,
no parachutes for trouble over

flares, are successful, they will set
their plane down here again with
in eight days, is hours and 81 min
utes.
Weather reports earlier had in
dicated good weather enroute, but
just before the takeoff it was
learned weather was good to Har-
Dor Grace, but stormy over Scot
land.
The flyers planned to leave Har-
bor Grace as soon as possible in a
direct flight to Berlin. If they fail
in that, they hope to reach Ire
land. Their planes cruising radius
is 800 miles.
They carry the good will OF Post
and Gatty, as well as the gas tanks
from the world circling plane. AND
their flight, like that of the Winnie
Mae, is financed by Oklahoma oil
men, although the plane is owned
by Mattern. The hackers are Henry
E. Turner, Oklahoma City, and
John Mabee, Tulsa.
The two flyers have high hopes
of beating the record, because the
Winnie Mae carried only one pilot
and one navigator = making tinae

Both Mattern and Griffin are

DR.. MOORE LAUDS
LENFANT'S PLAN
0rderIiness and Beauty of
His Conception Praised at
Memorial Services.

LEnfant's plan Of Washington is not
merely bit Of architectural history. but
"a vital living force today" DR.. Charles
Moore, chairman of the Fine Arts Com
mission, told members Of the Washing
ton Chapter, American Institute Of
Architects, at memorial services today
before the LEnfant tomb in Arlington
National Cemetery.
Orderliness often may either make or
break a plan, DR.. Moore declared. He
added:
mo one can study the LEnfant plan
without being impressed by the orderli-
ness with which he made provision for
each separate function of the Capital
OF potentially great Nation
Hand in hand with orderliness goes
beauty. Those voluminous letters of
L'Enfants breathe beauty. AS a plan
ner he knew, as an artist he felt that
without what he called embellishments
no plan could survive. He sensed the
appeal Of beauty to the universal human
mind. He made it a chief corner stone
in his edifice"
The speaker paid tribute to William
Thornton, one Of the early Commits
sioners Of the District, for "pegging
down to the ground many of the car
dinal features of the L'Enfante plan
thus insuring its supremacy in the face
of utilitarian conflicts To Glenn
Brown. as secretary of the American
Institute Of Architects, more than to
any other one person, Is due the con-
tinuity Of the plan OF 1901 with the
LEnfant plan Of 1892"
