16.-Cesare Sabelli and George Pond,
rested and eager to get going after
surveying their monoplane Leonardo
Da Vinci as it lay in a field two
miles from here today, hoped to
resume their New York to Rome
fight tomorrow afternoon or Friday.
At first, the f1iers thought they
would be able to repair the damage
to the planes undercarriage and the
balky gasoline and oil feed lines,
with the aid of Free State me-
chanic from Dublin, in time to take
off late today
However, they found the under
carriage damaged more than they
had thought. When it is fixed, they
intend to head for Croydon field
London, on their way to Rome.
Undaunted by his narrow escape.
Pond said he intended to fly back
to the United States via Ireland
after visiting Rome.
Agree Flight Was Terrible"
Both men, the Italian Sabelli and
the American Pond, agreed that
their flight was the worst of ex-
periences that extend back before
the World war in which they served.
Four hundred miles from shore
they were enveloped in binding,
clinging fog through which they
had flown for twenty-four hours.
Neither gasoline nor oil would feed
properly. Sabelli climbed from the
cockpit to pump oil into the motor
The plane, perilously close to the
water, rose to 1000 feet. In danger

at sea which would put them be-
yond hope of rescue, the filters went

President 2 ROosevelt's new deal
Senator David A. Reed-as sena-
torial candidate today while the
Democrats were selecting an en-
thusiaStic administration supporter
to battle for the seat in next falls

Reed defeated Governor Clifford

Thus the issue of the New Deal
versus the Old Deal will be square

Joseph F. Guffey. whose chief
campaign plea was that I'm for

primary contest and will oppose the
incumbent Reed.
Attorney-General William A.

George H. Earle. Democratic ad-

The climax of the turbulent pri-

SOlIlS b1IIlS-
Republican state headquarters in
the Claypool hummed with unwont-
ed activity and there were many
mezzanine floor and upstairs room
huddles as twenty-four district
chairmen and vice -chairmen came
to Indianapolis to vote this after
noon on the retention or custer Of
Don B. Irwin, Frankfort, as state
chairman.
Reports in advance Of the meet
ing were that the beating Lii
Arthur" would take would depend
on what "horse" he picks with
which to try to beat Irwin.
Since the senator was seized with
a sudden and apparently ineXpll-
cable desire to grab control of the
state organization, his chairman
candidate has been Noel Neal, for
mer appellate judge.
However, the senator took pre-
liminary trimming yesterday when
he tried to elect chairmen and vice.
chairmen favorable to his cause.
Since there have been reports
that he and his advisers might
dump Neal in view of the latter's
obvious inability to beat Irwin, and
switch to Ralph Gates, Columbia
City.
Gates. close observers say, would
stand more of a chance to beat
Irwin than Neal. but even this
maneuver would be doomed because
of the general faith in the present
organizations leadership.
IN regular headquarters on the
mezzanine floor we're heard re-
peated comments to the effect that
the senator should be shown that
he hasn't been very good boy
and there was reported to be grow

HUNT PRESSED
FOR KIDNAPERS
OF ROBLES GIRL
6-Year- -0Id Child Visits
Cage in Which She Spent
19 Sitting Days.
By United Press

By United Press
TUCSON, Ariz, May Is. - Ace
federal and state investigators to-
day pushed the search for kid
napers of 6-year-old June Robles,
as their child victim rapidly recov-
cred from imprisonment in hot
desert hole.
Experts from Washington Joined
Arizona and Tucson authorities in
examining material cleWs and run
ming down leads impaired in the
little girls own story of nineteen
terrible days she spent in the kid
napers' hands.
She retained a slight limp from
an ankle lacerated by the chain
which bound her in a filthy hole in
the desert, nine miles from home.
The effects of exposure in blister
ing sun and scant, improper foods
almost had disappeared.
Garbage Cans identified
Federal agents pursued a warming
trail in the search with the identi-
fication of two garbage cans found
in the desert cage from which the
girl was liberated. Steve GOllobe,
a rancher. identified the cans as
having been stolen from his home
on May 13, the day before June was
rescued.
The development puzzled investi-
gators in view of the childs story
that she spent the entire nineteen
days of her captivity in the cage,
and the last few days without see
ing a visitor. One OF the cans had
provided her with drinking water
Many believed she was locked in
the prison" at a much later date to
permit her kidnapers full chance
to escape.
Deserted Cabin Found
Investigators found a deserted
cabin near by that they believed
provided the kidnapers living quar-
ters for some time,
While June said the men" visit
ed her only three times, the cabin
showed evidences of having been
used daily. investigators reported.
The trail of one of the kidnap-
ers faded into Chicago, where a
map was mailed last Thursday with
directions leading to the kidnapped
girls recovery. Agents believed the
writer had at least one accomplice
who remained in Tucson.
All but recovered from her cruel
experience and dressed in q pretty
white frock and a blue sash, June
accompanied her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fernando Robles, into the
desert to inspect the corrugated-iro
cage where she was held captive.
Plans for her to re-enter the cage
were abandond when Mrs. Robles
broke down and wept at the sight
of the torture chamber"
June Inspects Cage
June said she saw only two men,
one of whom forced her into his car
as she was returning home from
school April 25. She said the men
called each other VIII and Bill"
One bound her ankle with chain
which was fastened to the cage.
They put me in the cage and
then went away" she said I
didn't see any one for week and
then two men came. 1 didn't see
the men but I heard them talking.
-Four days later they returned and
brought more food but they didn't
talk with me very much.
Il knew how long it was between
their trips because I kept track of
the days by watching the light as
it came through holes in the trap
door to the cage"

Despite an office memorandum tc

The memorandum, dated December

Due to the fluctuations in the
volume of work, it will be necessary
to furlough some of the employees
from time to time. In determining
who will be furloughed, the factors
considered will be general efficiency,
and the amount of time absent from
work on account of sick leave and
leave without pay"
The number of furloughs and the
date when they will be made depends,
Mr.. Payne said, upon the number
of contracts from the field"
The furlough problem, he said.
