FLYING BOAT TWICE "DO-X" SIZE IS TO
 CARRY FORTY TONS

Designed to have a loaded weight twice that of the German "Do-X," the worlds largest flying boat is under construction in Holland. A pay load of forty-two tons will be the crafts capacity, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Ten engines of 1000 horsepower each will drive the boat at 130 miles per hour, turning three air screws through an arrangement of shafts. So large are the dimensions of the hull that work will be done at ship ward instead of in the airplane builders shops.

OTTAWA, Canada.-With two new

be a big year in the history of Canada's
new north. At Moonsonee, Ontario's
direct outlet to salt water, plans are
ready for a town of 5000 and there
will be further activity when Spring
opens up.
Farther west the Province of Mani
toba, equally proud Of its first and only
ocean port, is prepared to make start
on the development of Churchill; it will
be along lines calculated to avoid evils
which have attacked frontier towns in
the past.
The site of Churchill is owned by the
province and no part of 1t will be sold.
The government will maintain control
through long-term leases conditional
upon the rendering of an essential pub
lie service. Thus speculation and ex-
ploitation in property values will be
avoided; nobody will be able to hold up
a good corner while his neighbors in
crease values for him.
The population will be restricted to
actual needs of the community; persons
desiring to set up business must give
evidence Of financial stability; fiimsy
shacks and traditional phenomena of
the old-fashioned boom town will not
be tolerated.
II expectations based on the Hudson
Bay route approach realization, there

those responsible for conditions there

activities, and if people were permitted

HOOVER ANNOYED
BY POSSIBILITY
OF LONG SESSION

WASHINGTON, March &c. U.P)-
President Hoover was concerned to-
day over an apparently growing be-
lief in political quarters that con-
greSs will not adjourn until Sep
tember.
Senator Moses (Rep.) New Hamp-
shire, said he informed Mr.. Hoover
that he was convinced the Demo-
Gratis intended to keep the house
in session most of the summer.
Democratic Leader Robinson of
the senate said he believed the jam
of necessary tax, appropriation and
economy legislation would force
congress 10 work during the sum-
mer.
The President was concerned not
only because of his campaign plans,
but also because he hoped to go to
Los Angeles in July to open the
Olympic games. The White House
said some time ago that Mr..
Hoover might not be able to make
the trip and a summer session of
congress would make it absolutely
out of the question.

BOLD ATTEMPT
TO ROB TRAIN
FALLS THROUGH

A last-minute fault in the plans

to have averted a daring holdup
of The Chief, crack train of the
Santa Fe railroad, last night.
Two oapper gunner thrust a
gun in the side of A. Burke, con-
ductor, as The Chief pulled out OF
Los Angeles and pushed him into
vacant compartment.
Near Highland Park, Burke said,
the bandits looked at each other
IS if some arrangement had mis-
carried, then ran to the end Of
the coach, hoped off as the train
slowed for the station and disap-
peared in the darkness.
Neither gunman uttered a word
Burke said, and made no attempt
to search him.
Authorities advanced the belief
the pair expected to meet a con-
federate, and that plans for a dar-
ing train robbery went awry when
their companion failed to appear.
Burke's encounter was not noted
by passengers. The Chief was held
up for 10 minutes at Highland
Park while the conductor gave
hurried report of the attempted
robbery and a description of the
two men.

RADICAL
RIOT AT
CAPITAL
Police And Communists
Battle In March Upon
japanese Embassy.
SCORE ARRESTED
Demonstration Demands
Downfall Of Imperial
ism AT Toxic.

WASHINGTON, arch 26. U.P -
Police and Communists battled in
the streets and on the private
grounds surrounding the japanese
embassy today when a score or
more of young people and Negroes
attempted to march past the en-
bassy carrying banners with signs
attacking japanese Imperialism.
A squad of 20 police rushed the
Communists seizing their banners,
clubbing them on the heads and
pinning them to the pavement.
Blood was drawn from battered
heads OF both police and Commu-
niSts.
The police broke up the demon
stration after 10 minutes of fierce
fighting but Communists kept
shouting even when held by the
police. They shouted defend the
Soviet union," down with the Jap
anese Imperialism, and protect
the working masses"
Police quelled the demonstration
after several minutes of fighting
and detained about 20 demonstrators
who were loaded into police vans,
singing the "Internationale."
Officials of the embassy watched
the demonstration behind partly
closed blinds. The embassy was
unchanged, police having rushed
the demonstrators before they got
near the grounds.
The Communists were largely
young men and women in their
twenties. They were roughly
dressed and included large por-
ton of Negroes, both men and
women.
1t was estimated that there were
between 20 and 80 of them. One
banner placard, carried by the
demonstrators said students of
Hunter college, New York, protest
japanese Imperialism"
Other signs said "all war funds
for unemployed, ~expe1 Japanese
ambassador from U. ST." mo ship
ments of munitions to Japan"
Japanese Ambassador Debuchi
took the demonstration calmly.
He did not let it disturb his
luncheon, which was served while
the police were carting the young
people off to jail.
Embassy officials only comment
was to express their regret that the
demonstration had occurred anG
their gratitude for the police action.
Twenty demonstrators were ar
rested. Charges included assault,
disorderly conduct and parading
without permit.
Injuries to both demonstrators
and police were limited to cuts and
bruises. A policeman, whose fase
was cut, was the bloodiest casualty
of the day.

Youth Circulates
Around Courts

To Nick Martinez, IT, it must
seem something of a game of tag
between justics court, superior
court and juvenile court, for he
has been in all three on a charge
of grand theft, and today it seemed
the cycle had taken new life.
Judge I. Maytield this morning,
for the second time, certified
Martinez case to the juvenile
court, after it had been referred
back to justice court.
Martinez is charged with theft
Of an automobile from a Hindu.
He told officers he borrowed the
automobile and left it in Arizona.
Just after his arrest he was GER
titled to juvenile court. A hearing
IN that court resulted in an order
referring his case back to justice
court for further hearing, and
Judge Mayfield again referred the
case to the juvenile authorities.
