CLOSE CALL
FOR FAMOUS
SPEED FLYER
Howard Hughes Sets New
Record and Escapes Crash
Uninjured.

SANTA ANA, Sept. 13. UR)-
Howard Hughes, young film pro-
ducer. made a perilous forced land
ing safely today when the motor
of his worlds fastest land plane
faltered at faster than 300 miles an
hour.
Hughes was uninjured. The nose
and fuselage of the plane were
damaged.
In what officials said was a new
worlds speed record for lana
planes, Hughes whipped the ship
across the measured course seven
times at speeds ranging from 337
to 353 miles per hour. This would
bring his average speed well above
the present 314 mile per hour mark.
1t was heading across the course
for an eighth try when his motor
coughed.
Hughes shot the ships nose up
ward to gain altitude while he
fought desperately to re-start the
motor. Unsuccessful, he headed for
the Martin airport, a mile away,
but the Stubby winged plane was
dropping fast.
He did not have time to let down
the landing gear before the plane
hit ground, and Hughes Skilfully
landed the ship on its belly in a
beet field.
Unhurt, Hughes jumped from the
cockpit and waved to his circling
attendant ship, Amelia Earhart's
transpacific plane. piloted by Paul
Mantz, her technical advisor.
Hits High Speed
The speed ship, in which Hughes
sank a fortune was hauled to the
airport for an inspection to deter
mine extent of the damage.
A speed of 353 miles an hour was
twice attained by the daring film
man flyer, before he was forced
down.
Twice he roared over the three
kilometers at $50 miles an hour,
and in other tests, 348,340 and 337.
The marks will be recognized as
official, establishing a new worlds
record for land p>les, it was an
Inounced. The accepted mark for
land planes was set by the late
Jimmy Wedell at 314 miles per
hour. The seaplane reca'd is 440.29
miles per hour, held by Italy.
Nevertheless, Hughes was disap-
pointed.
MY plane will do 1865, he had in
sisted.
The ship was slowed down 10 to
Is miles per hour by the loss of a
streamlined cowling covering the
cockpit, said Hughes. The cowling
was torn off by the wind as he
started the tests, and he continued
the flights with the cockpit open,
causing wind eddies that dragged
lat the snip.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. - Full
weight of the American govern
ment's moral support for peace was
thrown into the Ethiopian
crisis today in an effort to avert
war.
Cordell Hull. secretary of state.
placed this government again on
record as an ardent supporter of
peace. He simultaneously called
the attention of all other nations
to their obligations under the
Briand-Kellogg pact to forsake
war as an instrument of national
policy.
Hull did this in a formal state
ment which was recapitulation of
the efforts of this government to
avert an Ethiopian conflict
and an informal invocation of the
Briand-Kellogg pact.
Hull's statement made it plain
that the United States intends to
abide by her word to keep peace.
and that she expects other nations
which signed the Briand-Kellogg
pact to do likewise. France was
co-author of the pact with the
United States.
The statement made it clear, ac-
cording to the Interpretation here,
that this government was lining up
as solidly as possible with Great
Britain and other European ma
tions which are forcing a show
down at Geneva on the question of
peace or war in Ethiopia. Consti-
tutional and other limitations pre-
vent this government from giving
little more than moral support to
the league powers IN their efforts.
I'm view of the deep concern of
this government and the wide.
spread anxiety of the American
people over recent developments
which appear to constitute a grave
threat. to the peace of the world, I
consider it desirable to recapitulate
the steps thus far taken by this
government in contributing in every
practicable way toward a peaceful
settlement of the present dispute
between Italy and Ethiopia" he
said.
Peace Desired
Nov this government feels
called upon further to express the
attitude of this country" he said
after a recitation of past acts and
utterances.
THE government and the people
of the United States desire peace.
We believe that international con-
troversies can and should be set
tied by peaceful means. We have
signed, along with 81 other ma
tions, including Italy and Ethiopia.
