NEW YORK. August 5.-Four "stratosphere' planes--to fly above 3O,0O0 feet, which is not strictly stratosphere but close to it's lower edge-are planned secretly in three countries.
 Two are American, one French and one German.
 The engineering problems before planes fly the stratosphere are def mite, their solutions theoretically known.
 There is another problem, little discussed, the human one, or, as the aviation experts say, the physi- ological limit" It was hoped the ascension of the ill-fated Explorer II would give clue to thi prob lem.

supercharging i 'fficuJt

Supefcnarging L fticut
 The biggest difficulty comes at present in climbing to stratosphere heights, or anywher near. The horsepower falls off ln climbing more rapidly than the density of the atmosphere. If there were no cure for that higher attitudes would be impossible.
 The cure is supercharging. This is compression of rarefied air at high attitudes, so that the engine gets an air mixture equivalent to lower levels.
 Here again limit appears. This is the power needed to compress the air. That limit is definite if engine power is used.
 But by using the exhaust to run the supercharger this limit is lifted
 Some engineers believe that as real stratosphere attitudes are ap- steam power may come into use The advantage is no need of spending energy in supercharg- ing.
 Human Problem Vital
 Propeller designs will probably be changed with great attitudes. They will need considerably larger diam eters of blades at 40,00O feet than at 400 feet.
 In inside. circles at present there is more discussion of the human problem than of the mechanical.
 The engineers can build the strat- csphere planes, of that there is little doubt
 But no one knows what effect the great attitudes will have on paying passengers, the persons who are not specially trained for flying, but without whom there can be no service.
 Fifteen thousand feet is the linn It at which oxygen drops too low for human comfort. Thirty thou sand is the limit at which decreas- ing atmospheric pressure becomes uncomfortable.
 An Unknown Factor
 Engineers with certainty can de- sign cabins for stratospher planes n which oxygen and air pressure can be maintained at sealevel con ditions. The pressure needed is only l4la pounds a square inch. Steam boilers do immensely more with safety. Cabins shaped like boilers can sustain the atmospheric pres sure with ease.
 But here the unknown factor en- ters. Is sealevel atmospheric pres- 5ure at 10000 feet, in an enclosed sabins the same thing as sea- .evel2s The answer should be an un- qualified yes. But it is not. Physi, ologists say-"We do not know Cannot know until careful experi- ments are tried S
 The difference can be only slight. There is a little more oxygen pro- oortionately at 4o,000 feet, a little ess carbon dioxide. Yet in medical experiences such slight things oc- ;asionally have unexpected effects ,n some susceptible. persons. So he physiological studies of the itrato@phere are going ahead, even more quietly than the planes for he stratosphere.

Share-the- Wealth

One other other noteworthy &C
tivity in Senator Longs public
career was the organization of the
Observation-Disclosures, which
claims 10 million members en-
rolled today.
It was organized in February,
1884, following a conference in
Washington in which Senator
Long, the Reverend Gerald Smith,
of Shreveport, and Earle Christen-
berry, the Senator's secretary, par
ticipated.
Dr.. Smith became chief organ
izer and speaker for the move
ment. 1t advances a platform Of
guaranteeing to every deserving
family $4,000 free of debt, short
ening the hours of work, and pro
viding pensions for the aged, and
college education for all youths
who demonstrate mental capacity
to profit by it, the funds for this
work to be derived from the Enlita-
ton of incomes and inheritances
to decentralize all large fortunes.
The movement has no5 yet
achieved real political significance,
for it came a cropper in sShc re-
cent gubernatorial election in
Mississippi.
But many regarded it as the
vehicle by which Senator Long
hoped to reach the White House
as President of the United States.

WEISS RITES
MARKED BY
DRAMA

BATON ROUGE. La, Sept. 10
GN.sO.-From the funeral home
to which the wracked body OF
Senator Huey P. Long was ten
derby transported at dawn today,
the bullet-riddled body OF his
assassin, DR.. Carl A. Weiss, jr.,
brilliant, but fanatical young eye
specialist, was taken late yester-
day to receive final rites and
burial.
Hundreds Of persons stood in a
drizzling rain to pay final honor
to the memory of a youth whose
quiet, orderly life was swiftly and
suddenly changed to death in an
outburSt of unexplained passion
which terminated the career OF
Americas most extraordinary po-
litical figure.
Physicians at Funeral
Virtually every physician in
Baton Rouge attended the funeral.
Six of his close friends of the
medical fraternity were pail
bearers.
Drama and a moment of VIC
lence punctuated the funeral.
One of the dead mans cousins
attacked a newspaper photogra-
pher who attempted to photograph
the Weiss family.
Tommy Weiss, younger brother
of the youthful physician, broke
down completely at the funeral,
but other members of the family
bore up well.
Only at the grave. the mother
and widowed young wife. mother
of a three-months-old child, gave
way to their emotions. On the
verge of hysteria, they were borne
away on the arms of relatives.
Anti-LOng Men There
The huge crowd was sprinkled
with members Of the Square Deal
Association, militant antiLong or
ganization, among them DR.. Lee
0. Lester, vice president.
Once during the services IN the
rowd-jammed st. Joseph's Catho-
lie Church, the slim young wife

another offering had an inscrip-
ton reading Some Plaindealing
Democrats.

With this tide to help, a two
thirds majority of the legislature
was consolidated, and through the
regular session and seven succeed

then. a series of punitive laws

been enacted. I

The Kemp Case

Governor Allen had refused to
call an election and when, on
November 81, a citizens mass
meeting was convened in Baton
Rouge to call a citizens election,
Governor Allen finally acted, and
called the election for December s.,
only week away.
On the plea that this allowed
no time for the holding Of a pri-
mary, the Democratic committee
of the Sixth District, meeting
outside the district in New Or
leans, named Mrs. Kemp the
Democratic nominee.
Something very like a revolu-
ton followed. Ballots and other
election supplies were burned in
Amite, in Clinton, in st. Francis
vile, in Denham Springs, and 9TH
er parish seats throughout the
district.
Judge Nat Tiger issued an in
junction forbidding the holding
Of any election in his judicial dis
trict, and hundreds of citizen
deputies armed themselves to see
that the courts order was carried
out.
Less than 5000 votes were
polled for Mrs. Kemp.
A fortnight later, when the
citizens election was held, $4,000
votes were cast for j. Y. Sanders,
jr. Both elections were invali-
dated by the national House of
Representatives, but in the ulti-
mate run-off j. Y. Sanders, jr.,
was again elected and has since
been reelected without opposition.
Prior to this, however. an even
more serious split had developed
in the Long political ranks, in
the breach between his organiza-
ton and the Old Regulars of
New Orleans.
The split came over the de
mand Of Senator Long that the
Regulars refuse to indorse Eugene
Stanley for reelection as district
attorney, Mr.. Stanley having
prosecuted vote officials iii an
election on constitutional amend
ments so vigorously that 513 OF
them faced charges, three of them
already having been convicted
and the convictions upheld by
the Supreme Court.
In the ensuing fight, the Old
Regulars won by about $4,000
plurality, and the Long ticket
from top to bottom was defeated
This was the situation when the
legislature met for the regular
session Of 1884. The anti-Long
elements planned to GUST Speaker
Ellender, but failed by three votes
to secure the necessary pledges
and thus gave oyer the attempt.
The admission that the Long
administration would remain in
power sent a stampede of votes
from the opposition into the Long
camp.

OUertOn Dies

In the fall, of 1884, Senator

pared to immerse him for Baptist
conversion, an ace and king OF
spades dropped out of his pocket.
His wife, on the bank Of the
river, said not to baptise him as
he was already lost. Huey con-
tinued:
"And then his young son saw

"And the yOungster shouted:

he can't win with anything"
Always displaying a sixth sense
of showmanShip, Huey could be de-
pended on to do the unexpected.
During the fierce triangular
radio debate participated in by
Senator Long, Father Coughlin
and General Johnson, the Kingfish
opened one of his speeches with
the unorthodox announcement:

Tribute to Lee,

No one nowadays thinks Of Robert
e. Lee as a partisan leader. He was,
of course, one of the outstanding mill
tary men of his age, but that aspect
Of his career has faded with time and
at present he is regarded simply as a
celebrated American, q citizen of not
able gifts Of personality and char
acter.
The service to be held this after
noon at Washington Cathedral will
commemorate the larger and more re-
cent significance Of his life. It will
stress, as 1t certainly should, the basic
integrity Of his spirit. DR.. Douglas
e. Freeman Of Richmond, his latest
and probably most successful biog-
rapher, will be the principal speaker
and it will be his privilege to sketch
the portrait Of soul that triumphed
over every obstacle and won free to an
apex of victory grander by far than
any momentary triumph Of arms ever
could be.
Arrangements for the occasion are
in charge of foundation organized to

David took the stronghold Of Zion:
the same b the city Of David"
The worlds history has been very
largely made in great cities. The
rise and fall Of systems, civilizations,
empires and kingdoms have been
widely and decisively affected by city
influences. Rome became such q
center Of power that It was said all
roads led to 1t. and from It proceeded
the mighty movements that shaped
and determined the destiny Of peoples
far removed. Athens and Alexandria
were the repositories for the worlds
best literature. Here the scholars
and philosophers exercised their
genius and wrought out their systems.
One cannot think Of these great cities
of the past without thinking again
of the Grandeur That Was Rome" "
or the "Glory That Was Greece" /"
Every leader in human affairs has
sought to build into some great CEN
ter or city the imperishAble things
of his genius.
David at 80. crowned King Of Israel,
Immediately undertook to create a
place for his royal household. He
seized the commanding site Of .
stronghold held by the Jebusites, an
alien people, there to establish the
city Of David. It marked the begin
ming Of q city that was destined to
play Q conspicuous part in the worlds S
life. Overshadowed Is 1t was by the
military greatness Of Rome and the
incompatible scholarship Of Athens.
1t was to witness to more enduring
things and its influence was to become
more potential and far-reaching than
that Of It's more pretentious sisters.
Jerusalem. the city Of David. has
come to be the very center Of the
worlds religious thought and inspira-
tion, and its name the synonym for
all that speaks of Gods Kingdom on
earth. 1t was the great apostle. St.
John, who in his lofty vision declared:
IT saw the new Jerusalem coming
down from God out Of heaven" No
higher conception Of eternal splendor
suggested itself than that Of q Jerusa-
lem glorified and purified.
1t is strikingly interesting to note
upon what strong foundations David
the King undertook to build his
capital. It was at a period Of his
life when the blighting influences Of
evil had not destroyed or impaired
his ideals. He was modest and sub
missive to the will Of God. He was
exercising his authority conscious Of
the source Of his power. Thus it was
