MOLLISONS TO SEEK DISTANCE
 FLIGHT RECORD
Double Attempt Will Prob ably Be Made at Cross
 ing of Atlantic

LONDON, Sept. 13.-A double Atlantic crossing and a long-dis- tance flight may be attempted again by Captain and Mrs. James A. Mollison within the next few weeks.
 Builders of new plane, which Lord Wakefield will present to the Mollisons to replace their Sea- farer, wrecked at Bridgeport, Conn, on July g after a Atlantic jaunt that was to have been the first leg of a three-way record attempt, say they hope to have the machine finished shortly.
 "Mollison is out of town said one of his friends, sbut on his return will consider the possibil- ity of repeating the double Atlan- tic attempt.
 "A final decision, however, is unlikely until Mrs. Mollson has had time to state her views.
 "Mollison had the double at tempt in mind on his return from America recently provided the new plane was ready before October.
 But if the flight is delayed much longer it would be a ques- ton of shipping the new machine to America and attempting only to regain the long distance flight record for Great Britain. "As an alternative, a long-dis- tance flight to Capetown or the East may be undertaken, although the Mollisons have a warm lean- ing toward America, after their magnificent reception there.r

Hartman, resigned chairman of the
Hartman National Bank & Trust
Co., had been revealed today by Ferd-
inand Pecora, counsel for the Senate
Committee whose inquiry into stock
market practices already has resulted
IN far-reachtng disclosures.
PecoraS statement was coupled with
promise to gather all the available
facts and present them to the COM
mittee at public hearing" II the mat
ter was found to fall within the scope
OF the Senate's resolution authorizing
the committees activities.
The delay IN prosecuting Hartman.
who was arrested in his sick bed a
week ago last Tuesday, came to light
through a Deposttors' Protective Com
mttee which demanded the appoint
ment OF special prosecutor to SUPER
cede United States Attorney George z.

dilatory.

group, said the depositors felt the Fed
eral authorities and the Clearing House
had failed throughout the situation to

the highest regard" for Pecoras abil-
ity.
