POST FORCED.
DOWN, IN AIR
z HOURS
Strato Hop East Ends; Trouble
Believed Due to Propeller;
Help Semitic Filler

UNION AIR TERMINAL, BUR-
BANK, Feb. % Q.N.S0 1.-The at
tempt of Wiley Post, famed
round the-world flier, to make an
eight-hour shakespeare flight
from Los Angeles to New York
ended today within 100 miles of
his starting point.
Word was received by the Lock
head factory here that Post was
down at Muroc Dry Lake, Cal,
at $40 a. m. The report said
Post was uninjured, but did not
give the reason for his landing.
The MESSAGE received was:
"A.n down. No damage except
bent propeller. You can land
along side with ease"
Help Rushed To Him
A plane piloted by Billy Parker
carrying mechanics left shortly
after the report was received to
render aid to Post.
Muroc Dry Lake is a popular
testing ground for racing automo-
bileS, and it was believed that Post
had selected its smooth sandy sur
face for a landing on his Skids. He
had dropped landing gear in start
ing his flight.
Post left at GOT a. m. and the
telegram was filed two hours and
80 minutes later, but it was be-
lieved that because of the short
distance traversed, Post had prob
ably made his landing consider
ably earlier than $40 a. m.
Propeller Trouble
Belief was current at the air
terminal here that Post had ex-
perienced some difficulty with the
operation of his new propeller. It
had been installed only this week
and it was regarded here that
Post at the outset of his strato-
sphere flight found that it would
need further adjustment.
The famous Winnie Mae IN
which Post was making the super
speed attempt, is the same plane
that carried him safely twice
around the world.

The trouble with building ships,

ROME, Feb. % G.N.SO.-Still

Consul General Du Bots of Naples,
passed through Rome today on
their. tragic journey to London for

of all details, but Mrs. Du Bots

NIGHT FLYING
OVER D. {.
BANNED
Disturbed Rest Brings Rule
From President; Affects
= All Air Services

At the direct request of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Director OF Air
Commerce Eugene L. Vidal issued
an order today temporarily pro-
hibiting all night flying over the
District of Columbia.
It was said the order, would
stand until coming system could
be worked out to govern night flS-
ing, which probably would be
permanently prohibited over GER
tain zones, including the White
House area.
It was learned at the White
House that President Roosevelt
has been annoyed for more than
a year by planes swooping low
over the Executive Mansion at
night, either to take a look" or
in approaching landing fields on
the city's outskirts.
Overtures Failed
Friendly overtures were made
several months ago, at the Presi-
dents suggestion, in the hope OF
correcting the practice. AS these
did not have the desired result,
it was decided to prohibit all
night flying over the city.
It is understood that the
permanent regulations will re-
strict or prohibit flying over GER
tain sections of Washington at
night, but permit planes to cross
other sections at appropriate
attitudes.
White House spokesman said
today that two nights ago the
Presidents rest and that of other
members of his family was dis
turbed between II and IL at night
by three huge planes which
dipped over the White House with
motors wide open, roaring like
q freight train.
Rule Affects All
It was this incident which led
the President to direct the air
commerce head to bear down"
on all services operating planes
in and out of Washington
whether commercial lines, the
postal service, sightseeing COM
panies, the Army, Navy, or Ma
rine Corps.
Day flying over the business
district is prohibited at present,
but the restriction is constantly
ignored. The 2,000-foot minimum
altitude requirement for flying
over the District of Columbia
also is ignored frequently.
President Harding was the last
Executive to demand that flying
over the Capital be restricted.
His anger was aroused when an
Army filler, with motor open,
flew too close to the Lincoln
Memorial at the time of its dedi.
cation, and, lowering over the
crowds gathered for that cere.
mony. interfered with the
speeches.
Director Vidal said the new or
der was informal, and that word
had just been passed along" to
the flying fields and flying serv-
ices to go around Washington
after dark.
No restriction has been placed
on the commercial dirigible which
cruises about by day over the
business district as well as other
sections.

BYRNS SEES
PRESIDENT
UPHELD
Will Stand BY Roosevelt on
Wage Scale Issue, Is
View of Speaker

International News service
Prediction that the House will
stand by President Roosevelt
in resisting the McCarran pre-
vailing wage amendment placed
in the 1880 million dollar work
relief bill by the Senate was
made today by Speaker Byrns.
He said:
"The House stood by the
President when it was before
us. The prevailing wage
amendment will destroy the
fundamental idea Of getting
men back into private indus
try as quickly as possible. Men
will not go back into private
industry If they can get as
much or more on Government
jobs"
Amendment Hit
Chairman Buchanan CD, of
Texas, of the House Appropria'
tions Committee, declared the
McCarran amendment would
make impossible letting of pri,
vate contracts for public works,
and added:
eff a contractor has to take
on new men after two or three
days work, he cannot figure
costs and there can be no ef-
fiency."
The Administrations work re
lief program faced fresh attacks
in the Senate today after Presi.
dent Roosevelt's stunning defeat
on the prevailing wage issue.
The leaders were amazed by the
Senate'S A to 43 vote, ordering
the Government to pay prevailing
wage rates on all relief projects,
even if monthly wages are held
to $50 average. They were hope
full the House would reject the
provision and that it ultimately
would be left out of the bill.
RumOrs Flood Capitol
Rumors flooded Capitol Hill.
One minated the President
would abandon the whole work re-
lief program and accept continu'
alton of direct relief for another
year, while another declared the
Senate would strike out the whole
work relief program and continue
the dole"
Two such amendments are
pending. One by Senator Byrd
CD of Virginia. would limit the
fund to 880,OO0,OOO, all of it to
be spent on direct relief. Another
by Senator Adams CD of Colo.
RADIO, in which Senator Glass CD
of Virginia, concurred, would re-
duce the fund to $2,880,000, 900
and limit it's use to direct relief.
Administration leaders may be
able to move for reconsideration
of the wage vote and win on an
other vote.
Endorsed by Labor
The wage amendment, spon-
Sored by Senator McCarran CD
of Nevada, was endorsed by the
American Federation of Labor
which ranked the Senate vote on
a par with the famous Judge
John ]. Parker case. Incidentally,
7 out of the 80 Senators who
voted against labor on the Parker
case, were defeated for reelection.
The President may get some
Senator, who favored the amend
ment, to move reconsideration.
This Senator would have to face
the concentrated wrath of organ
lied labor for switching his vote
on so important an issue. Even
then, the President might lose
again as two absentee Senators,
Thomas CD of Oklahoma, and
Smith CD of South Carolina,
were reported favorable to the
amendment.

The Ford Motor Company's Indi-

This figure coupled with those OF
the other two ten-day periods OF
