COL TURNER SETS NEW
 AIR RECORD
Flies From Los Angeles to N Y. in 10 Hours, 5
 Minutes BEATS HAIZLIP'S
 GREAT FLIGHT Now Holds Records, in Both Directions Cross
 Continent

Floyd Bennett Field. New York, Sept 25.-(UP)-Col Roscoe Turner to-day cracked the trans continental airplane record, when he arrived from Los Angeles a, 11:43:30 a. m. EST.
 His time was 10 hours and 5 l-2 minutes.
 The previous west-to-east rec ord was Jimmy Haizlip's speetaeu- lar flight across the country Aug ust 29. 1o32, when he travelled the distance-2.520 miles-in 10 hours and l9 minutes.
 Turner already held the east west crossing record of II hour. and 30 minutes, hung up on July 1, 1933.
 Turner had intended to return to Los Angeles within an hour, in an attempt to lower the record for both directions in one day. Weather conditions in the midwest, and particularly on the west coast. where he said he expected fogs, de- cided him against the project.
 T guess I'll have to abandon that plan." he said. Mechanics who already were rfueling his machine ceased operations.
 Turner appeared out of the hazy west at 11:40 a. m.. flying his We'd dell-Williams special-the swift plane in which he had captured national short distance records, al top speed.
 He circled the field only once, then swooped to beautiful land. ing on the Floyd Bennett fields short runway, and taxied to the main hangars.
 Mrs Roscoe Turner was on hand to greet him. and crowd of 100 attendants rushed to help him from the plane. He was grinnlne as he descended from the cockpit
 Major J.. Nelson Kelley. field manager, put 4fls entire force oi mechanics at the flyers disposal and the work of filling the tank, with approximately 11s gallons oi gasoline began immediately. Although there had been q heavy fog over the eastern seaboard ant a thick haze obscured the field a | times, Turner's direction was per feet, ana his craft sped to It's mari with precision.
 It was Turner's fourth attemp within year to establish a new mark.

GANDHI PLANS
21-DAY FAST;
START MAY 8
Facing Risk of Life to Gen.
ter Attention on
'UntouChabIeS.'
BY FRANCIS LOW
United Press STAFF Correspondent

BOMBAY, India May 1.-Mahat-
ma NJ. K. Gandhi, emaciated, bald
little political and spiritual leader
of millions in India, has announced
that on May he intends to start
an unconditional fast" Of twenty
one days.
The mahatma, who has spent
most Of his recent life in Yeravda
jail, at Poona, near Bombay, de-
clared that he had struggled against
the impulse to fast, but failed.
He said that he was taking this
risk of his life in an effort to center
attention among his fellow men in
India on the abject condition of the
"untouchables, whom he hopes to
free from the burdens of the caste
system.
The authorities hoped he would
be dissuaded from fasting for three
weeks, fearing a religious war would
break out in the event of his death.
Medical experts held little hope
that the tiny, shrunken leader could
survive the rigorous ordeal.
Gandhi, however, renamed firm,
although admitting the dangers of
death.
Let there be no misunderstand-
ing-I have no desire to die" he
said Il want TO live for the cause. -
He said he would pray for puri-
f1cation of India and"its peoples.
Shocking cases Of impurity nave
come to my notice." Gandhi said
IF God has more service to take
from this body, he will hold it to-
gether, despite the deprivation of
early food God will send me spir-
