MATTERN RESTS
FOR PACIFIC HOP
American Flyer Too Tired to
Tell Russian Officials
of His Plans.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, June 12-Jimmie Mattern
caught up on badly needed sleep today
at Khabarovsk, Siberia, while his plane
was being prepared for the transpaciflc
hop of his flight around the world.
So tired was the American when he
landed at that East Siberian town at
800 am. Sunday, G:Z0 pm. Saturday
Eastern standard time), after losing his
way from Beloye, that he Immediately
went to sleep and gave officials no
chance to ask about his plans.
No reports had been received here as
to the time for his take-of for Nome
Alaska, but 1t was learned that heavy
weather lay ahead of him on his way to
Kamchatka Peninsula, northeast OF
Khabarovsk.
May Have Headwinds.
Across the intervening sea of Okhotsk,
as far as the Town of Petropavlovsk, on
the southern tip of the peninsula,
northern winds blew last night and
early today.
These would give the Texan head
winds. It rained hard in the area both
last night and today.
On arrival at Khabarovsk, he was
three days behind the pace set by Wiley
Post and Harold Gatty in 1881, and he
had given up challenging their mark
of days Is hours and 81 minutes.
They, however, had remained in Kha-
barovsk more than day, so Mattern
can establish a solo record comparing
favorably with their time.
At $50 pm. Friday, E. s. T., he start
ed from Beloye, Siberia, more than
1,400 miles inland, and stopped en-
route at Sofisk.
He lost his way soon after leaving
Rukhlovo, mistaking the Zea River for
the Amur. He remained at Sofisk long
enough to get his bearings, but the de-
lay cost him many hours.
Changed Siberian Route.
Supplementary reports received by
TaSs (Russian) News Agency somewhat
cleared up the mystery surrounding the
failure of any points along the pre-
scribed route to sight Mattern between
Rukhlovo and Sofisk.
The American abandoned his intend
ed course at Irkutsk, veering northeast
ward there instead of following the
tracks of the Transsiberian Railway,
apparently in desperate effort to make
up time
He had been. unreported for hours,
and revealed when he landed at Sofisk
that he had intended to pass by Khaba-
rovsk altogether, but found inadequate
refueling facilities at Sofisk and had to
turn back to Khabarovsk for this pur-
pose.
He landed at Sofisk at pm. Satur-
day, Moscow time q am, e. S. To,
apparently remaining there just long
enough to obtained the required infor-
nation.

POLICE PRECINCTS
WILL Be REAL|GNED
Hazen Approves Maj. Browns
Plan to Reopen No. 4
Station.

Proposals by Maj. Ernest W. Brown,
superintendent Of police, for the early
reopening of the old No. police sta
ton and realignment of the bound
aries of four existing precints were ap-
proved today by Commissioner Melvin
c. Hazen.
The action was informal and details
will be worked out shortly.
District officials also have under con-
sideration a recommendation by Maj.
Brown for the building of new down.
town police station. This will require
an appropriation by Congress. 1t was
not known today how soon a request
would be made for funds for this
project.
Maj. Brown hopes to have the old
No. station, on street southwest be-
tween Four -and-a-Half and Sixth
streets, reconditioned and opened for
service before the end of this month.
In connection with this change police
equipment now stored at the old No.
building will be placed in temporary
rented quarters, while plans are COM
pleted for the building of new police
storage house. This will be erected on
District owned property off Bladensburg
road northeast, opposite Mount Olivet
Cemetery. The Public Works Admins
tration has been asked for a grant of
$4,000 for this building. If this is not
forthcoming, officials hope to have the
structure built by District Civil Works
employees. the materials to be purchased
with c. w. A. funds.
Maj. Brown has obtained approval of
his plan to realign the boundaries of the
first. second third and the present
fourth precincts. The opening of the
old No 4 station will make it possible
to reduce the territories under the con-
troll of the first four precincts in the
present plan.

TO SPEED
TRAFFIC CALLED
Hazen, Van Duzer and Brown
Also to Consider PedeS-
trian Safeguards.

Means of improving the flow of traffic
in Washington, coincident with setting
up safeguards for pedestrians, will be
the object of a conference Wednesday
morning between Commissioner Melvin
C.. Hazen and William A. Van Duzer,
director of traffic, and Maj. Ernest W..
Brown, superintendent of police.
Plans for the conference were made
today by the Commissioner, who hopes
to make d number Of definite changes
in the traffic situation. He will take no
action, however until he has received
q detailed report from Van Duzer and
Brown after the general discussion
Wednesday. he said.
Hazen believes traffic movement may
be greatly expedited by the possible Sc
north and south traffic arteries for one
way traffic during rush hours. In such
plan the traffic signal lights, he said,
might be given much longer intervals
of change.
This would require longer period of
the yellow caution signal so as to bring
traffic to a halt before the stop signals
30 on, he believes.
He has in mind as rush hour one
way arteries, the possible selection of
Thirteenth, Sixteenth or Seventeenth
streets. They would be limited to one
way traffic only during rush hours
under such a plan.
Such expedients, he points out, should
be coupled with special safeguards for
the pedestrians.

DEPOS|TORS JAM
PARK SAVINGS BANK
Twelve Windows Open to Aid
Seekers of 5 Per Cent
Withdrawals.

Depositors thronged the Park Savings
Bank today to file claims and to re-
ceive the per cent cash distribution,
in case they had not obtained it when
the bank was on a restricted basis
early in March.
The depositors came in response to
an announcement by Jcan F. Moran,
receiver. that filing of claims and pay
ment of the per cent would be started
when the bank opened this morning.
S150,O00 Available in Cash.
The bank has available about $3.50 900
in cash. Mr.. Moran explained, to meet
the per cent cash distribution.
Some depositors previously had with
drawn their per cent and therefore
had mo cash available this morning.
Other depositors who had withdrawn
only a part of the per cent were able
to get the remainder in cash when they
proved their claim. Those who had
withdrawn nothing were able to get the
full per cent.
Depositors are given three months
from today in which to prove their
claims. The bank will be open daily
on its regular hours and considerable
staff will be on hand to assist de-
positors.
Receiver Moran had about IL win
dows working this morning to meet
the first-day rush, but even then, he
explained, many people. finding that
the lines moved so slowly. went away
to return at later and less crowded
time. Depositors presented their pass
books and other evidence Of claims
against the bank, and this had to be
checked against bank records.
Distribution q Surprise.
The notice of the receiver to file
claims was an expected move on his
part, but the payment of the S per
cent cash distribution came as SUR
prise.
The Park Savings Bank was closed
during the Presidents bank holiday
early in March and when it was re
fused a license to reopen on March IA.
Robert S. Stunz, vice president, COM
mitted suicide. The shortage is now
estimated, together with depreciation OF
assets, at about $2.250.000.
The bank is the center OF litigation
from two directions. On the one hand
the Depositors' Committee has sued
directors to recover as much as possible
of the losses, while on the other hand
four persons have been indicted,
charged with conspiracy to violate the
penal code.
DepOSitorS number about $4,000.

SOLDIER COMPENSATION
PROPERTY HELD TAXABLE
Parcels Purchased by Veterans
With Money Allowed for
Service Not Exempt.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Property purchased by World War
veterans out of Government compen-
sation and war risk insurance received
from the Veterans Bureau was held
today by the Supreme Court to be sub
ject to taxation by the States.
This was ruled in case brought by
j. T. Trotter, guardian of Joseph A.
Leake, World War veteran living at
Maryville, Tenn.
With court approval, Trotter pur-
chased land for the veteran out of
money received from the Veterans Bu-
reau. He contended that under the act
of Congress of 1924 the property was
exempt from State taxes. The trial
court took that view, but the Tennessee
Supreme Court reversed it, holding the
State had the right to compel the pay
nent Of taxes.
