Z 2PLANES ARE OFF ON TRIPS
 OVER ATLANTIC
Wiley Post Starts on Att tempted Solo World
 Flight Early Today
WINNIE MAE HAS
 ROBOT AT PILOT
Two Other Aviators Start on Attemped Flight,
 to Lithuania

NEW YORK, July l5.-Two air. planes roared out over the Atlantic today from New York, one on a world flight, the Winnie Mae, pilot ed by Wiley Post, who seeks a solo world flight record, and the other the Lithuanica, jointly piloted by Capt. Stephen Darius and Stanley Girenas, headed for Lithdania. A. 900 miles away.
 Both planes left from .ie Floyd Bennett Field, the Winnie Mae at 4:10 o'clock this morning and the Lithuanica at 5:20 o'clock. Defies Orders Girenas left in defiance of orders from Washington and went with out passports in the face of im- plicit instructions of the Depart ment of Commerce that he and his comrade must not make the flight. Carries Tomahawk Post, proud man of Texas and Oklahoma origin, carries an Indian tomahawk, saying it is the only weapon he needs as all emergency flier. Those at the flying field have watched Post practice on. cut ting playing cards with the toraa- hawk He nailed the c .rds on a door and at 20 paces away never missed cutting them.
 Has Robot Aboard The newest aviation aid, a me- chanical pilot, was installed in the Winnie Mae to give Post a chance to sleep in the air. He said the robot viii fly the ship but T doubt If I can sleep"
 Virtually t.le oi:ly new scientific flying aid on the. other ship was an ice indicator designed to tell the fliers at a glance if ice, thc terror of Atlantic fliers, is form ing on the wings.
 Two Bad Spots Post faced two bad spots in the weather on the first leg of his flight to Berlin. There is low pressure area off the Atlantic Coast which he intended to fly around, and there is rain off the coast of Ireland which he plans to fly through. The heav.Iy-loaded Winnie Mae ran the lergth of the runway before it got into me air Post bounced the plane once trying to get it off the ground hut when
 it finally did rise, it gained alti tude rapidly and headed straight into the clear red sunrise. Good Cruising Speed Post expected the Winnie Macs cruising speed of ITO miles an hour
 will be increased at least 25 miles
 by strong supporting winds. Ths plane has top speed of 210 miles an hour.
 Additional help to Post is the
 secret new radio compass installed
 by the United States Army al
 Dayton, Ohio.

The radio battle Of the Potomac,

piCted against WJSV. Columbia Broad
casting Systems Washington-Vi Virginia
outlet, is over with the radio chain the
victor. WJSV's transmitter, near Alex
andria, Va, will not be disturbed.
The controversy grew out of the
Nays complaint that WJSV played
havoc with the experimental operations
Of it's research laboratory at Bellevue,
D. c., just across the river from the
radio station. In protest. filed with
the commission back in February, the
Navy contended it was out of the ques-
ton for it to continue its experimental
work with WJSV broadcasing from its
present location, with its present power
of 10000 watts. Consequently 1t op-
posed the issuance of a permanent Ii
cense to the station.
Columbia engineers Immediately went
to work and designed dircctional an
tenna, one which beamed the radio sig
mails north and south, instead of allow
ing them to spread east and west. The
device worked so well that interference
was reduced to a minimum. The Navy
withdrew its complaint and the Federal
Radio Commission issued a license to
the station to continue broadcasting.
Columbia, however, must install de-
vice at the research laboratory which
will automatically record the WJSV
signal strength. to assure Navy engl-
neers that the directional antenna Is

this became more and more difficult
Experiments now are under way with
new types of culture media on which
the organism is made to survive for q
still longer period.
True Organism Isolated.
All the evidence indicates that the
true leprosy organism has been isolated.
Injected into monkeys, it has produced
local LESSONS which are believed closely
akin to human leprosy. No case of
general leprosy has been produced in
an animal. however, and there is accu-
mulating evidence for the belief that
only man is subject to that malady.
Drs. Mckinley and Verder also have
developed a method by which fresh
strains of the organism can be started
at any time from leprosy tissue.
The Leonard Wood Memorial, under
whose auspices the work has been car
ried on, was organized In 1925 with
a fund Of 100000 pledged by friends
OF the former Governor General of the
Philippines to aid in wiping out leprosy
in those islands where it aff1icts at least
100000 persons. The disease has al
most disappeared in the United States,
but is still widespread affliction in
Hawaii and especially in British India
Historically, leprosy has been one of
the most picturesque of diseases. A
few centuries ago the living leper In
Europe was pronounced legally dead
and given a public funeral, after which
he was exiled from human society and
went about carrying a bell to warn of
his approach.

HASTINGS TO CONTINUE
FIGHT FOR RESTRICTION
Says District and Four States, En-
titled to 2,0O5 Appointments,
Have 1908.

Chairman Jeffers Of the House Civil
Service Committee announced today the
postponement until Fall of the pro-
posed investigation of the Civil Service
Commission, to determine the extent
of departure from the civil service State
quota act governing appointment OF
employees to the Federal service.
The inquiry was authorized in reso-
luton adopted by the House several
weeks ago. Chairman Jeffers will head
the Investigating Committee. Other
members are Representatives Ramspeck
OF Georgia, and Dingell Of Michigan,
both Democrats; Gibson of Vermont,
licans
Jeffers said the investigation prob
ably would not begin until September
or october. Members of the investigat-
ing group, he explained, are anxious to
return to their homes, and there is no
reason for starting the inquiry at this
time, since the committee cannot file
its report to the House until the regu-
lar session of Congress in January.
simultaneously with Jeffers' an
nouncement, Representative Hastings Of
Oklahoma, author of the resolution
providing for the inquiry, said he would
continue his fight to restrict appoint
ments in the Government service to
the State quota basis.
The District of Columbia, Virginia,
Maryland, Iowa and Vermont, to-
gether, are entitled to zoos appoint
ments, Hastings declared, but they have
16,033 in the Government service.

cording to Attorney General Cummings.
Several score reports of gangster ac-
tivities have come to the department

elements which he feels are preying
upon legitimate business.
1T is warfare, pure and simple"
Cummings said, land somebody is go.

The Attorney Generals first move

agents of the department entered into
the investigation of the poultry racket

DONOVAN To SEEK
RETIREMENT DATA
Will Ask City Heads About
Effect of New Law on
Employees Here.

Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District
auditor, will confer with the District
Commissioners in the next few days re-
garding the effect on District employees
of the involuntary retirement provision
in the Independent Offices bill as passed
yesterday by Congress.
Just how many of the Districts 80
year employees may have to be sepa-
rated from the service by the retirement
route as result of the economy pro-
gram and reduced appropriation could
not be determined today.
As District officials now understand
the law, those employees having 80 years
or more of service face the possibility
of involuntary retirement should it be
necessary to reduce personnel by that
means so that the District might stay
within its funds.
1t is understood the physical condi-
ton as well as the efficiency of en-
ployes will be considered in any action
that may be taken to reduce personnel.
Department heads, in such cases, would
submit recommendation to the Com
missioners, who, in turn, would forward
their report to Federal administrative
officers.
The rotary" furlough plan as evolved
by the Bureau Of the Budget and ap-
proved last night by Congress may di-
minish the need for involuntary re-
tirements. 1t appeared to District OH
cials today.
A list of District employees who. have
had 80 years Of service already has
been compiled by Auditor Donovan.
On this list are so District department
heads and their principal assistants, in
addition to about rs subordinates
Some of the outstanding officials Of
the District are on the list.
