Air, Another Ocean
Committee members we're told
by Brisbane that the Navy and
the public should think of the
air as another ocean. On this
point he said:
"FOr thousands of years men
have used surface ships and
they are all lighter than
water ships. Men crossed the
ocean in ships of iron, but the
ship weighs less than the water
it diSplaces and it is safe in
definitely even though the ma
Chinery breaks down. No pas
sengers, no steamship company,
would be interested in heavier
than water ships that must
break down.
"The difference between the
water and air is that the air
ocean Is 800 times lighter than
water. Men through the ages
have found Ighter-than-water
ships necessary for the ocean
of water. They may eventually
decide that lighter than air
ships are necessary for certain
purposes for the ocean Of air.

siderable speed plus safety with

Committee members displayed
great interest in a timetable
offered by Brisbane showing the
operating schedule Of the Graf
Zeppelin between it's home land
and Brazilian ports.
What Macon Can Do
Brisbane showed the new Navy
airship Macon could cross the
Atlantic safely and return with
out landing or taking on fuel;
or "cross the Pacific carrying in
addition to the crew an adequate
load of mail in peace time or
bombs in war time"
Turning to the military uses
Of the dirigible, he stated that
in the infancy of their develop
ment, German Zeppelins fright
ened the population Of London
into their cellars" He continued:
"The Germans are obliged to
operate with highly dangerous
hydrogen gas that can be easily
set on fire. The United States
has an almost exclusive supply
of nOn-inflammable, nOn-ex-
pIoSive heIium gas, a great ad-
vantage, which should not be
neglected by this country but
fully developed and utilized"
The committee was told that
Great Britain and Japan are
making persistent efforts to de-
vleop supplies of helium gas. Mr..
Brisbane said:
"The biggest lighter-than-air
ship ever constructed can be
built for One-tenth the cost of
one battleShip, and such a
ighter-than-air ship, able to
carry small. swift. heavier-than-
air ships in its inside garage

OSLO, Norway, June 5 G.N.S0 .
Safe after he and the rest of
the world thought that "all was
over" Jimmy Mattern, smiling
Texas airman, left Oslo at 12:40
o. m. today washington time)
for Moscow, convinced he would
not only fly around the world
faster than anyone ever did it
before, but also that he would
become the first aviator ever to
do it alone.
In the course of a three-hour
Stop-over in Oslo, Mattern told
the amazing story of his nonstop
flight from New York to Kraero
Island, an isolated spot 81 miles
from Oslo.
Forced Landing
He described his forced landing
on the desolated spot far off the
beaten track, and told of his diff
ficultieS and adventures during
the long hours when the world
thought he was lost.
Mattern left New York at 4:21
O. m. Washington time, on Sat
urday. His red, white and blue
monoplane Century of Progress
was sighted over Newfoundland
Z hours and 9 minutes later.
Then nothing, except vague
and unSubstantiated reports,
were received until word came
through to Oslo that he had
landed on the island.
Even then, hours were allowed
to pass before authorities at the
Lillestrom Airport here announced
that he was safe and on his way
to Moscow.
Struck Bad Weather
His epochal 4,500-mile flight
from New York to Kragero, as
told to special correspondent
of the Oslo newspaper Aften,

81 encountered the worst
weather imaginable over the
ocean. had to fight snow,
ice, and adverse winds on the
last lap of 500 miles and almost
thought it was all over with
me.
81 did not sight a single ship.
My gasoline supply was begin
ming to give out when de-
cided to descend DESPITE fog
and take my chances.
Suddenly 1 saw a small
green spot in the sea and
decided to risk a landing on
the beach.
Fortunately, I made a per-

beach.

"When F. Scott Mcbride, gen.

that the brewers of the country
were cheating their customers
and selling near beer, he uttered
a deliberate untruth and should
be hailed before the United

This statement was made today
by Representative Fred A. Brit

charged that Mcbride is aiming
to sell prohibition under false

DIGS UP
OLD KILLING
BY LAMSON
Shot His Boyhood Playmate
BY Accident, Says Defense;
Accused Arraigned Today

SAN JOSE, Cal, June 5
G.N.SO a small, shadowy
courtroom here today the
mysterious Stanford University
campus bathtub death of beauti-
full Allenethorpe LamSon was to
be brought before a bar of
justice in the first of several
anticipated spectacular legal
battles.
Her handsome young husband,
David H. LamSon, will be
arraigned on a murder charge
before Justice of the Peace
Grandin H. Miller, in the first
official airing of the tragedy
that befell the campus Romeo
and Juliet" couple.
To Plead Not Guilty
He will be led into the court
room to plead not guilty, and
retire to his Santa Clara county
Jail cell while attorneys continue
their efforts to entrench them
selves for the superior court trial,
which will follow if the Stanford
University Press executive is held
to answer for the alleged Staying
Of his 28-year-old wife, secretary
of the campus Y. w. C. A. and a
former undergraduate leader.
While the attorneys were pre-
pairing their legal ammunition,
Sheriff W. j. Emig was awaiting
confirmation from Prairie Grand,
Alberta, Canada, on report that
Lamson, as boy. shot and
killed playmate in a fit of rage
one summer while vacationing on
his fathers ranch.
The defense, headed now by
Attorney Edwin Rea, who re-
placed Congressman Arthur M.
Free, admitted the shooting, but
claimed it was accidental.
Meets Wife's Brother
The defendant had several dra-
matte experiences yesterdays
meeting with his dead wife's
brother, Frank Thorpe, of Lamar,
Miss, and his first brush with
newspaper men.
The brother looked L m o n
Sternly in the face, shook hands,
and sat down to talk to him as
jailers closed the door of the
sheriff's office, the interview room.
Thirty minutes later Thorpe
left the Jail, his face drawn, with
this fnnSn Comment.
"My mind still is open in this
case"
Lamson was close to collapse as
he posed for pictures in the jail
yard.
Free To Act AS Adviser
Free said that his firm, headed
by Rea, would represent Lamson,
aided by another prominent at
torney, Louis O'Neal, Santa Clara
county political leader and IA
nous pleader, but that Free
would now act in an advisory
capacity instead of chief counsel
because Mr.. Rea has just fin
ished q case, making him avail
able for the first time in this
matter"
But another defense representa-
I've said that Free was stepping
out of the spotlight because of his
frequent clashes with newspaper
men.

The Morgan income tax inquiry
was postponed by the committee
today pending an effort by oppos-
ing counsel to agree on a Stipula-
ton of facts.
The inquiry involved the in.
come tax returns of William Ew.
ing, Harold Stanley, and Thomas
S. Lamont, all junior partners in
the firm. of j. P. Morgan and Co.
The committee voted 10 to 2
against an immediate investiga.
ton Of their income taxes.
Only Senators Fletcher Cd Of
Florida and Couzens (R) Of Mich.
gan voted for an immediate in
Quiry.
The committee will meet again
tomorrow to get a report from
Ferdinand Pecora, special Senate
counsel, and from John w. Davis
chief of Morgan's counsel on
whether they can agree to stipu
late the income tax facts. II
they agree it was apparent the
committee would accept the stipu
lation and abandon a public in
quiry. If they do not agree, the
committee will battle to a deci
sion on the issue of holding a
public inquiry.
