Of "S,vipeI Chair'' Pilots

The general staff, which ordered the
new tests and now is preparing them,
had historical precedent for its trials
in President Theodore Roosevelt's
Russian ride Teddy" caused the
elimination Of all officers who could
not ride horseback 80 miles a day for
three successive days. .
In instituting the new policy, tho
general staff was acting on a proposal
by the Baker Board, set up to investi-
gate the Air Corps, which said that
only pilots capable of flying 100 hours
year, including a reasonable per-
centage of croSs-country, instrument,
night and formation flying" should
be declared eligible as pilots for fly
ing command duty, commanding COM
bat squadrons and groups"
Special physical qualities are neces-
sary for active flying duty, the Baker
Committee found. 1t added there are
now too many officers whose flying
efficiency is open to question.
War Department officials said 1t
would be two weeks or more before
the efficiency tests were perfected, and
no details Of the rough rides" could
now be made public.

Monday when the court battle over
the custody Of her child is resumed,
1t was announced today.
Nathan Burkan, lawyer for Mrs.

Supreme Court Justice John F.. Carew

press from further hearings in the

Burkan will argue, he said, that it
is unfair to his client to hold future
hearings behind closed doors when
the charge that she is unfit to raise
her 10-year-old child has received
wide publicity. The charge was made
by Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, the
childs aunt, who now has her in
charge, and was supported by former
servants of Mrs. Vanderbilt.

The Army is going to weed out its

ing all Air Corps officers with is or
more years service take tests to de-
termine their flying ability.
The tests, it was said yesterday, are
being shaped around recommendations
of the special board headed by Newton
D. Baker, former Secretary of War.
All generals, colonels, majors and
majority of the captains in the Air
Corps will be examined. All found dis
qualified for further flying will be as
signed to ground duty, transferred to
other branches of the service, or re-
tired.
There are generals, 9 colors, 81
lieutenant colonies, 81 majors and
1862 captains in the Air Corps. Elin-
ination of those found unfit for
further flying will make way for the
promotion of many younger men OF

Refuses to Be Called by
Ickes' 'Drumhead Court"
and Says He Quit.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Ickes and Paul c. Yates
exchanged harsh words yesterday over
the latter's resignation or suspension
as executive assistant to Gov. Paul M.
Pearson of the Virgin Islands.
Ickes said Yates had been suspend
ed and ordered him to return to
Washington to face written charges
of disloyalty, insubordination and
gross ineffciency"
Il could no longer ignore grave
charges against Mr.. Yates that have
come to me from several sources and
over a considerable period Of time" :"
Ickes added.
Says He Resigned Earlier.
At about the same time Yates cabled
the Associated Press from st. Thomas,
Virgin Islands, that earlier in the
day he had advised Ickes that your
radiograln today seeking summons me
before your drumhead court-martial
arrived too iate-my resignation was
en- route by mail, as you no doubt
been advised"
Yates said he had notified" Ickes
on August Is that unless prompt ac-
ton was taken to remedy the "intoler-
able misgovernment prevailing under
Gov. Pearson, I would under no
circumstances continue as" an official
under the Interior Department.
After asserting that he was "an
ardent supporter of the New Deal"
Yates advised Ickes in that communi-
cation that Il would be perfectly
willing to sacrifice my official position
to remedy corrupt and disgraceful
conditions prevailing in these islands" :"
Referred to Probe.
Yates referred to an investigation
made by special representatives Of
Ickes into allegations of misuse of
P. w. A. funds in the islands. AS a
result of that "whitewash," Yates
added, Eli Baer of Baltimore was re-
moved as Government attorney, leav-
ing only Yates and Federal Judge T.
Webber Wilson as Democrats and
Liberals sent here under the Roose-
velt administration"
In my August IS letter" Yates
added, "I voiced great personal con-
fidence in you. I regret I can no
longer entertain that confidence. I
have a feeling Congress will want to
investigate the entire disgraceful sit
uation."
Interior Department officials inter-
preted the exchange as meaning that
Ickes would back Pearson, whom
Yates called "a Hoover-appointed re-
dictionary Republican" to the limit.

NEW YORK, October 6.-Bruno
Richard Hauptmann was identified to-
day by former neighbor of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh as a man he had
seen emerging from underbrush on the
Lindbergh estate, near Hopewell, N. j.,
a few weeks before the aviator's in
fant son was kidnapped.
The testimony, given by Willard
Whitehead Of Lambertville, N. j.. was
the first which has been disclosed
linking Hauptmann to the scene of the
abduction.
Whithead picked the German car
penter, held on a charge of eXtorting
the s50,000 Lindbergh ransom, from
a lineup of 10 men at the Bronx
County Court House
Then he told Capt J. J. Lamb Of
the New Jersey State Police he was
certain Hauptmann was the man he
had observed lurking in the bushes
on two occasions.
Witness Not Detained.
Whitehead was permitted to return
home after Lamb said it would be
unnecessary to hold him as a material
witness. Lamb also went back to
Jersey, taking with him a panel from
Hauptmanns home on which tele-
phone numbers pertaining to the case
had been written.
Whitehead, who formerly lived on
small farm near the Lindbergh estate,
first told his story Of seeing mysteri-
Gus stranger TO State police on the
night of the kidnapping, March /,
1882.
When Hauptmann was arrested the
farmer was sought Immediately. He
was visiting in Pennsylvania and was
located only two 6ays ago.
simultaneously it was announced
that Lindbergh will be l of % wit
neSses before the Hunterdon County
grand jury, at Pennington, N. j., on
Monday, when Hauptmann's indict-
ment of KIDNAPPING and murder charges
will be asked.
Some of the witnesses, 1t was UNDER
stood, will be Department of Justice
operatives who have been working on
the case for two and half years.
Trial Opening in Doubt.
Whether Hauptmann will actually
be brought to trial in the Bronx next
weke on the extortion charge remained
uncertain, although District Attorney
Samuel j. Foley said his case was COM
plete except for some slight details.
Il am convinced" he said, that
the Bronx case against Hauptmann
will result in a conviction"
Foley previously has indicated he
would adjourn the case to permit the
prisoners extradition to Jersey on
more serious charges, but he declined
today to discuss this possibility.
At Trenton Attorney General
WilentZ commented:
Il do not believe any trial in New
Jersey could properly be held before
November l."

cell in the Bronx County. jail to a

BY the Associated Press.

MILAN, Italy, October 6.-Haf a
million Italian mouths opened in up
roarious laughter today at a declara-
ton of Premier Mussolini that rela-
tions with neighboring France in the
last year have been notably better"
Whether or not the laughter was
inspired by wink of Mussolinis eye,
it was probably the most dramatic
interruption ever accorded a public
address. Five hundred thousand per-
sons jammed into the immense cathe-
dral square here roared at what
seemed to them huge joke.
They laughed again when II Duce,
in a momentous policy address COIN
Gliding with the thirteenth anniVer-
sary of his decision to March upon
Rome, paused to let the laughter die
down, and then told them: Your
attitude indicates that you are a very
intelligent people"
Relations Notably Better.
He began his reference by saying:
There is no doubt that for at least
a year, until now, our relations with
France have been notably better"
Then he said:
Your attitude toward this expost-
ton is so finely intelligent it demon
strates to me and proves again that
while methods of work of diplomacy
must be reserved, I can very well talk
to the people directly when I wish
to indicate the direction of a foreign
policy of great country like Italy"
On the elevated speakers platform
the while was a French aviation mis-
sion, including 80 aviators who few

Despite the reception OF his refer

of Europe. All this we shall see be-

Retail Motor Pact Flayed by Okla

OKLAHOMA CITY, october 6 Up
An indicated belief that the N. r

rights" was expressed today by Fed
eral Judge Edgar S. Vaught.
Without giving an opinion in the
argument of demurrers to the indict-

Vaught scored Government attorneys
for their contention that the retail
sale of new cars and the trade-in OF
old ones is transaction of interstate
commerce.
IF this is true" the jurist said
"then Congress has the right to regu-
late the sale price of the suit OF
clothes you have on, the right to say
what price shall pay or merchant
shall charge for the shotgun shells
