N. B. c. Representative Re-
Iates Experiences Before
Geographic Society.

When one of the motors Of a giant
trans-Pacific Clipper goes dead 78O
miles from the nearest land, the flight
continues, according to William Burke
Miller, representative of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., who re-
counted details of his round-trip
flight from California to Manila be-
fore the National Geographic So
ciety last night at Constitution Hall
In an emergency. the plane could ny
on only two of its four engines.
Miller, who few the 5000 miles
aboard the Philippine Clipper. de-
scribed wildly his many experiences
and observations en- route. Most un-
usual, he said, was "broadcasting out
of today into yesterday" because OF
crossing the international date line
He received a radiogram yesterday

Thursday!
While the hop from California to
Hawaii was the longest and most
strenuous Of the trip, Midway and
Wake Islands were the most interest,"

service station" of the clippers, pas
sengers amused themselves by playing
"gooney golf" on the beach with Lay
san albatrosses or "goonies" as tame
but unmovable hazards. Residents OF
Midway kill time and rats at once, to
keep the rodents from overrunning the
island.
A robot pilot kept the plane on its
course when the human navigators
needed rest, and many intricate
gauges enabled the engineers to detect
the slightest change in the pulse" OF

Following Miller's lecture Robert

"4NUMbER' TAG
CALL LL|SEXCESS|VE
Traffic Bureau to Be Un.
able to Fill All
REQUESTS.

The annual scramble for preferred
or -four number" automobile tags has
been renewed with such gusts this
year that only q small per cent OF
the requests can be accommodated.
The demands for special 1897 tag
numbers bid fair to run q third over
the usual 5000 requests for such IA
yors received at the Bureau Of Vehi-
cles and Trafic each year. Perhaps
two-thirds OF the petitioners will be
disappointed.
Motorists want tage numbers which
seem lucky or easy to remember or
even hard to remember; they want to
match their telephone numbers or their
street numbers or some lucky combi-
nation of numbers with . personal
meaning.
The Traffic Bureau makes every ef-
fort to fulfill the requests, whether
whimsical or practical, in the belief
that motorist equipped with per-
sonal number will take more pride In
observing the trafiic regulations.
Numbers up to 10000 are set aside
for special assignment each year.
The first 1000 are distributed accord
ing to the wishes of the District Com
missioners and Trafac Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer, to District oficial
and employees and Federal oficial,
and employees.
Many Of these are assigned IN blocks
to agencies where special parking
sections are reserved for employees
thus aiding in spotting cars that
poach on restricted areas.
The numbers over 1000 and unde,
10000 are then assigned by special
request. Thousands Of District mo.
torists already have these numbers
and most of them will receive them
again this year whether or not they
sent in special requests.
Thus only a comparatively few
numbers will be available for redis.

LEXINGTON, Va, November al
The pages of newspapers offer COM
mon ground on which scientists and
the public can meet to mutual advan-
tages, Howard w. Blakeslee, science
editor of the Associated Press, told the
South's High School editors today.
Science is written in newspapers
today because it is news, both to the
public and scientists" he said.
1T is written because the news
paper is the natural place for the first
telling of any important event. If it
is really important. the public will
take a hand in finding out all the
details through the newspapers. I
think the public also will take hand
in helping scientists to decide which
problems are the most important"
He spoke before delegates from half
a hundred preparatory and high
schools from IL Southern States,
gathered at Washington and Lee Uni
versity for the Southern Interscho-
lastic Press Associations annual con-
vention.

RED RIDER ATTACK
|. IS DOUBLE-EDGED
Law School Radio Speaker
and Voters League Hit
Periodical Ban.

The "red rider" was attacked on
two fronts yesterday.
The ban on the Weekly News Re-
view and American Observer in local
class rooms because of an article
that, it was felt. might contravene
the law against advocacy Of or in
struction on communism in the
schools, was assailed before legis-
lative meeting of the voteless District
of Columbia League of Women Voters.
In a talk over wMAL, DIR. John r.
Fitzpatrick. dean of Columbus Univer-
sity Law School, called on citizens to
work for repeal.
Mrs. William z. Kittle, president
of the Women Voters, said repeal
would be a major objective of the
organization at the forthcoming ses-
sion of Congress.
I'VE are absolutely opposed to ex-
isting conditions" she emphasized be-
fore an audience that included also
members from Baltimore and Rich
mond.
Mrs. Z. W. Chaplin outlined the
history Of the rider, and characterized
the school ban as ''one of the vicious
results" of the law.
DR.. Fitzpatrick declared "a majority
of Washington citizens want this law
repealed" and he called on the Fedora
tion Of Citizens Associations to make
its position clear.
I'VE believe this law has dragged
our community back to the dark days
of bigotry, fanaticism and intolerance, "
he asserted. Its operation is STUN
bling block in the path of intellectual
progress and it is breeding disrespect
in the minds of our children toward
lawfully constituted authority in the
public schools"
School teachers, the speaker de-
clared. are working under almost
insuperable educational conditions

SASSCER TO BACK
LAW ON WARRANTS
Would Restrict Power to
Make Changes or With.
draWaIs.

Legislation designed TO prevent re-
currence Of conditions in Prince
Georges County, Nd, which made pos
sible charges Of a police bonding
scandal, now under investigation, will
be introduced at the next session Of
the General Assembly by Lansdale G.
Sasscer, President of the Maryland
Senate. it was learned last night.
Sasscer's proposed bill would make
it illegal for any one except the States
attorney to withdraw or change arrest
warrants. The Senator, an Upper
Marlboro attorney, said he would also
seek an enabling act TO permit the
appointment Of an assistant States
attorney.
Sasscer declared that present law
does not prevent any one of some
40 justices Of the peace in the county
from revising charges without con-
sulting higher officials. His measure
will be designed to center responsible
ity for warrant revisions or with
drawals in one official, he said.
Additional Man Needed.
Sasscer's move to provide an as
sistant prosecutor is prompted by the
need Of an additional man to handle
law enforcement matters, he declared.
The Senator pointed out that cur
rent responsibilities of the States at
torney, often involving prosecution in
two courts at the same time, when
Police and Circuit Courts are in ses-
sion, are "too much for one man
to handle" His plans have been sup
ported by Prosecutor Alan Bowie,
who Is heading the current investi-
CATION into charges of police bonds
man collusion and graft.
Evidence in the police inquiry has
yielded some interesting facts con-
corning Maryland State officers. it was
announced last night by State rnyesti-
gator Andrew Linhard.
With Detective Sergt. William Con-
roy, Linhard has studied affdavits Of
Washington motorists charging State
police participation in law enforce
ment irregularities.
The two Investigators, who have
traced the charges through justice of
the peace and court disposition rec
ords. will question complainants within
a few days, Linhard said.
Charge of Bribery.
In one of the afidavits given to
the Keystone Automobile Club by a
Capital driver the affiant declared
that his attorney paid a State officer
TO change his testimony so that the
motorists case might be dismissed in
court. Another sutoist told Keystone
attorneys that q Maryland policeman
colluded with a bondsman to fix" q
trafiic offense.
After three hours analysis of evi-
dence collected for presentation to
the grand jury at its recall late this
month or early in December Prose-
cutors Alan Bowie and Ogls Marbury
and three auditors adjourned yester-
day for q resumption of their work
Monday.
The investigators will devote the
next few sessions to study of affida-
Wits, to be checked against police,
bonding and court files. They will
then scrutinize other cases with the
possibility of contracting witnesses for
grand jury appearance.
