ADVANCE WORK
ON PACIFIC AIR
LINE BEGINS

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Is U.
SO.-The advance crew for the
greatest aerial venture of history
began gathering here today, plot
ting a daring enterprise which,
when completed, will give the
world it's first globe-girdling com.
mercial airplane route.
The men who will fling
Americas challenge to distance
and the future of aviation will
plan, among other things, the
exact route which Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh will fly when he
takes off in a huge clipper ship
this spring to fly the first COM
mercial plane on the trans-Pacific
leg.
Much Work Awaits
In the vanguard are 1t. Comdr.
Clarence H. Schildhauer, former
Navy aviator, operating manager
OF the new air route, and w. S.
Grooch. Col. C. M. Young, former
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
in charge of aeronautics, will ar
rive tomorrow with his bride.
Young will be in charge of local
headquarters of the Pan-Ameri-
can Always.
Before the Lindbergh flight
can be made to Shanghai by way
of Honolulu, Midway Island,
Wake Island, Guam and Manila,
much spade work" must be done
by the advance crew. Alameda
airport must be dredged for a
channel and equipped with a
ramp on this end of the route.
Will Blast Cove
A cove must be blasted at
Wake Island to shelter ships and
cope with the 180-inch annual
rainfall at that dot in the Pacific.
And hundreds of thousands of
rats must be exterminated at
Midway Island.
Neither of these islands is in
habited, which means that eXpe-
ditions will sail from here to in
stall living quarters and han
gars. The Federal Government
will install lighting equipment
and the company will construct
radio beacons.

MAYORS CHIEF
FLAYS SENATE
RELIEF VOTE

Condemning Senate action i'm
periling passage of the 1880 bill
hon dollars works relief bill, Paul
v. Betters, director of the U. S.
Conference of Mayors, today de-
clared that if work is not made
available to unemployed there
will be mobilization in Washing
ton that will make the bonus
army look like Boy Scout parade
in comparison"
Mr.. Betters asserted that to tell
persons who believe in work
rather than the dole that the lat
ter will be continued would
"foment social unrest which will
be unparalleled" and added:
eff the action of the Senate
last week means the death
knell for the 1880 billion dollars
work program, it means SEN
fencing 3,5OO,OOO citizens who
want work instead of free
groceries to a term of invOlun-
tary idleneSS.
II do not believe those men,
berS of the Senate who split on
an amendment to the bill and
thus forced the whole program
back into committee will be will
ing to assume responsibility for
the withholding of work and
wages of the 3,5OO,OOO persons.
"When it is considered that
this number of workers repre-
sent close to 100000 depend
ent family members now on
Federal relief, this congressional
sentence is more serious than
any action taken by any govern
ment in the history of the
world"
Governor James Curley of Mas
Sachusetts and other officials of
New England States and cities as
well as members of the New Eng
land delegation in Congress had
luncheon at the Mayflower Hotel

Afterward they met in the Cap
itol to discuss means of rehabili.
tating the textile industry in their

Disagreement with Public
Works Administrator Harold L.
Ickes in the matter of ship build
ing as an employment stimulus
stirred naval ranks today.
The Administrator told the
Senate Munitions Committee he
believed PWA money could be
better spent, indicating that ship
construction did not benefit
enough industrial classes.
Among those to oppose the
Secretary of Interior today was
Admiral H. I. Cone, retired, for.
mer head of the U. S. Shipping
Board, who said:
"There is hardly any indus
try that Is as far reaching in
its benefits as the shipbuiIding
industry. More persons are

StructiOn than any project
that can be undertaken"

mittedly irked by Mr.. Ickes' stand,
pulled from their ship construc-
tion files figures and maps to
show how every State in the
Union furnishes some part of the
material that goes into man

Secretary Of Navy Claude A.
Swanson and Assistant Secretary
Henry L. Roosevelt withheld com.
ment on the subject, but both are
known to believe firmly that ship
construction is a mighty weapon
against idle work shops.
The Navy League of the United
States expressed doubt of Secre-
tary Ickes' accuracy by pointing
to a recent bulletin issued on the
subject which in addition to other
claims declared a high percentage
of the total expenditure for ship
building was paid in labor wages.
The bulletin adds:

with ship building in the high
percentage of its cost paid to

Greyhound bus that took IA persons

PROPOSAL DENOUNCED.
Editor Of Episcopal Publication OPP
poses Unity Plan.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, December
q P).-A plea of the American Com
mittee of the Church Unity Octave
Council for unification of the Protes-
tant Episcopal with the Roman Catho-
lie Church to fight anti Christianities
was denounced here last night by DR..
Alexander Griswold Cummins. He is
editor of the Chronicle, organ of the
''low church" elements of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church.
DR.. Cummins, who is rector of
Christ Church here, also took issue
with Right Rev. James De Wolf Perry,
Episcopal presiding bishop. who was
reported to have discounted the state
ment Of the Unity Octave Council, by
asserting there was evidently confu-
sion between the Roman Catholic
Church and Catholic teachings"
II, said Dr. Cumnins, Bishop Perry
had "read the statement carefully, he
would have noticed that after declar-
ing that actual negotiations were be-
ing made looking forward to the re-
union with the Church of Jerusalem,
Alexandria and Antioch, the signers
OF the paper ask the question: If we
look forward to reunion with these an
cient patriarchal sees, with which we
severed union more than 900 years ago,
why not with the patriachal and
apostolic see Of Romeo If this does
not indicate union with Rome, what
does it do?"
The action of 20 Protestant Episco-
pal clergymen in joining the unifica-
tion plea was branded by DR.. Cummins
as most amazing expose of sedition
and treachery on the part of supposed
loyal members of this church."

REACTION MIXED
(. ON CHURCH UNION
Proposal That Episeopali-

Meets Conflicting Views.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 27.-A
plea by q group of Protestant Epis-
copal clergymen and other persons
for unification of their church with
that Of Roman Catholics to combat
rampant anti Christian forces in the
world has met mixed reaction.
The appeal was sent out by 20
Protestant Episcopal clergymen, two
members of a religious order, and
seven laymen as members Of the
American Committee Of the Church
Unity Octave Council.
They said overthrow OF religion"
in Mexico, Spain, Russia and Ger
many indicated that "the forces OF
the day have proved too strong for
Professionalism and it is disintegrat-
ing rapidly"
Right Rev. James De Wolf Perry,
presiding bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, said at Providence,
r. l., that there is evidently con-
fusion between the Roman Catholic
church and Catholic teachings, which
is something altogether different"
View Held Clear-Headed.
Rev. Wilfrid Parsons, S. j., editor
and publisher of a national Catholic
weekly, expressed appreciation of the
'clear-headed view" of the commit
tees appeal.
In true sense the visible unity Of
the Church of Christ has never been
broken, since Christ's will in that
regard was absolute and communion
with the See of Rome has always
been the symbol of that unity" he
said.
Rev. Arthur Brunn, president of the
Atlantic district of the Evangelical
Lutheran Synod, said what he con-
ceives to be the church already Is
united, in his opinion, by 'the COM
mon faith in common savior"
THE head of the church," he said,
"is not st. Peter or any other sinner,
but Christ, the corner stone upon
which the building is fitly framed to-
gether. The stability of the church
Is not dependent upon any man. The
gates of hell shall not prevail against
her"
Rev. George La Pla Smyth of New
York. member of the committee, said
the unity movement began many
years ago in England and includes
members of the Roman Church,
AngGcans and others who deplore
disunity" in religion.
DR.. Ivan Lee Holt, president of the
Federal Council of Churches of Christ
in America, said that an Anglo
Catholic" group of Protestant Episco-
palians had long sought to unity
American Protestant and Catholic
Churches, but was too small numer-
tcally" to achieve such an end.
There is another way in which
We may really promote a worldwide
Christian church," he said at St.
Louis today.
"The Protestant Churches must first
unite. Then q Catholic Protestant
Church could meet the Greek Catholic
Church and the Roman Catholic
Church to work out plan for
world Christian church. That ought
to come some day and we have con-
ferences and groups at work on plans
which are influential"
