81 think 1t is essential to

Asked whether this commission

Colonel Lindbergh replied:
"That question goes to some

competition, but on the other
hand too much competition may
retard development.
at seems to me that the best
solution was reached in the
establishment of three trans

These three transcOntinental
lines competed between terminal

Guardian First Witness
The first witness of the day was
Thomas j. Gilchrist, coguardian
of the Vanderbilt child. He was
cross-examined by Nathan Bur
kan, counsel for Mrs. Vanderbilt
on evidence he gave yesterday.
Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, Mrs.
Vanderbilt's sister-in-law, who is
seeking to take the child from
her, was expected to testify later
to tell why she believes the beau
tiful Gloria an unfit mother.
Expecting no quarter from tnoSe
who have pilloried her from the
witness stand, Mrs. Vanderbilt Will
give none in the bitter blue-bloodeo
feud being waged behind the
guarded doors of Supreme Court
This assurance was given today
by a close friend of the glamorous
young widow, against whom have
been arrayed the wealth and
power Of her husbands kin in one
of the most amazing legal battles
to stir society in years. The friend
said:
"The cruelest blow struck
came from her own mother,
Mrs. Laura Fitzpatrick Morgan.
GIVES NO QUARTER
"Of course, Mrs. Vanderbilt
will not use the same methods
that were employed in the at
tempt to besmirch her reputa-
ton. But she will use all avail
able legal weapons to win back
her child, and certainly she will
give no quarter"
Since society has taken sides
in the. case, with many proml::
nent persons here and abroad
openly condemning the attacks
on Mrs. Vanderbilt, 1t is feared
that the spectacle of a mother
testifying against her own daugh-
ter may create particularly
tense situation.

Senator's Letter Reveals Idea
for Link to Orient Via

By RILLA SCHROEDER

Although he modestly disclaims
the honor, Senator William Gibbs
McAdoo of California was re-

Of the inspirations of the Pan-

transpacific air mail line.
The Senator in July Of this

of Pan-American Anyways, Inc:
"The idea of a great airway
system spanning the Pacific
Ocean, connecting your lines in
America with those you have
already developed in China, ap-
peals not only to my imagina.
ton, but to the great spirit Of
rational adventure which
caused you and your colleagues
to conquer the Caribbean Sea
and Central and South America
with q wonder system OF air
ways. Why can you not extend
this conquest to the Pacific and
be tho first to carry our flag

In acknowledging Senator Nc
Adoo'S letter Mr.. Trippe said
that his line was already consid
ering a transpacific route such
as suggested by the California
Senator.
Mr.. Trippe wrote:
"Our technical committee,
headed by Colonel Lindbergh,
has for some time been making
a careful survey of the engi-
neering and meteorological
problems Of the route. Since
the receipt of your letter we
have been carrying on even
more detailed Investigations"
Dream Tor Years
The idea Of a transpacific all
mail line has been, Senator Nc,
Adoo confeSses, a pet dream of his
for years, ever since he first be.
came interested in aviation.
The flight, he estimates, could
be made in roughly 3 days, allow
ing time for refueling, stop-overs,
etc.
The conquest of the Pacific is,
he says, the greatest achievement
left in aviation. And one which
he hopes to see accomplished by
an American airline.
He says:
"Pan.American Always is the
logical line to put over this
project. They have vast expert

Hundreds Reported Homeless
in Manila; Property Loss
in Millions

MANILA, P. l., Oct. Is G.N.S).
Untold misery and suffering was
reported on every hand today as
one Of the worst typhoons In the
history of the Philippine Islands
began to abate after flashing the
entire east coast.
Hundreds were reported home
less in Manila as a result Of the
storm which unroofed business
houses and destroyed many
homes in the native section.
Millions Of dollars property
damage in all parts of the islands
is expected.
While no definite reports are
available. it is feared there will
be a heavy death toll especially
among fishermen, who were prac-
tically unwarned, as the storm
developed with surprising rapidity.
SHIPS on ShOre
All communications with the
provinces were disrupted as the
storm swept over the islands
from the Pacific Ocean.
Through the deluge of rain,
driven by the gale with the force
of bullets, several vessels were
driven ashore in Manila Bay.
All traffic in Manila was COM
pletely demoralized. Water was
running knee deep in many of
the downtown streets.
Because of the danger of elec-
trocution to persons finding it
necessary to venture forth, all
electrical service was cut off.
All over the city wires lay across
the streets, the poles smashed
down by the winds, and the
wires pulled into the streets by
uprooted trees.
Debris Blocks Streets
Telephone communication was
demoralized. All transportation
was suspended as street were
practically impossible because of
debris.
All stores and offices in the
city were closed.
All shipping in the harbor was
ordered to remain alongside piers.
The passenger steamer, Presi-
dent johnson, due to sail tonight,
was held at her pier.
All radio communication from
the island was suspended, but
cable lines were still functioning.

Scandal Case

PARIS, Jan. l3.-DespiUe two VIC
tories wrung from the Chamber OF
Deputies over the Bayonne pawn
shop scandal, the Government IS
still on an uncertain footing, OBJ
viously shaken by the washing OF
much dirty linen.
Premier Chautemps scored per-
sonal triumph in two smashing
votes of confidence on leaving the
investigation of the forty million
franc financial fiasco entirely in
the hands of the Cabinet.
Those in the Hobbies are inclined
TO doubt whether the Premier can
succeed again in welding majority
support in the formidable troubles
awaiting the Government in the
near future, principally the huge
budget task.
