ATLANTIC AIRLINE
RIVALRY DEPLORED
First Man to Navigate Plane
Over Ocean Hits Jealous
Nations.

DAYTON, Ohio, January IN. A.
N. A.).-The linking of the United
States and Europe by a flying boat
service, probable in the near future,
would have been effected long ago
had it not been for international
complications" in the opinion of
Capt. Albert c. Read, first to navigate
an airplane across the Atlantic.
The naval veteran, now commander
of the aircraft tender Wright, only
craft of its kind in service, COM
manded the NC-4, big four-motor
naval biplane that flew from Trepassy
Bay, Newfoundland, to Plymouth,
England, via the Azores and Lisbon,
Portugal, May 1921, 1919.
In mid-January, Capt. Read, back
from a Christmas visit to his family
in Washington, will direct the Wright
from San Diego Bay to the Panama
Canal Zone for maneuvers with four
squadrons of naval aircraft stationed
there. Last November the Wright
served as operations base for five
squadrons located at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii.
Landing Places Necessary.
international rivalries have de-
layed the start of scheduled trans
Atlantic service" Capt. Read said,
during a stop-over at Wright Field,
Dayton. Each of the interested ma
tions wants the advantages of the
service for itself. 1t would be simple
for the United States to establish
such a service, if our position were
as favorable in respect to landing
places in the Atlantic as in the
Pacific.
American AirWays, which has
shown great thoroughness in the de-
velopment of trans-Pacif1c service, was
aided by the fact that We control tne
various landing places that were re-
quired"
In the Atlantic, Great Britain holds
two keys to the proposed service IN
controlling Bermuda and NeWfouno-
land. Portugal with the Azores. also
is interested in trans Atlantic heavier
than-air operation The great circle
route is by way of Newfoundland ana
Ireland. An alternate route Wouio
touch at Bermuda and the Azores.
Artificial Isles Too Costly.
Proposals to construct artificial
islands, or seadromes, for trans
oceanic service doubtless would have
been followed if the cost had been
under 100000. Capt. Read said. A
possible consideration in rejection OF
such a plan may have been the knoWl-
edge that man-made islands would be
extremely vulnerable in war and OF
little strategic value if they were ac-
cepted as neutral.
The ship Capt. Read has COM
manded since 1858 was built during
the war. He calls it "a floating hotel
and repair shop" for the Navy's sea-
plane squadronS. One squadron 1e-
Gently has been este hlished at Seattle
and another at Norfolk in addition tc
two at San Diego and others at Pear
Harbor and in the Canal Zone.

Judge to Continue
Policy of Pressing
For Court Decisions

judge Vaughn N. Thompson OF
the Imperial county superior court
told county supervisors Monday
that he will continue his policy OF
insisting that juries reach decisions
i'm all cases where the evidence Is
sufficient to warrant It.
He declared it is waste OF money
to retry cases when the evidence
presented is sufficient to enable
the iiirvmen to decide one way or
the other in regard to the guilt OF
the defendant.
Trials of criminal cases cost the
county hundreds of dollars and II
the trial is long, the cost may reach
into thousands, Judge Thompson
said. He said one trial should be
enough in most cases.
He asked the supervisors to make
the jury rooms more comfortable
and convenient in order that juries
may not object TO remaining in
the muntil a decision is reached.
Supervisors asked Judge Thomp-
son 10 confer with Rance Baker,
county purchasing agent, in pro-
viding equipment for the jury rooms
and to report the cost TO the board.

One Playful Drunk
Plays Havoc With
Autos, Dispositions

One playful drunk, bent upon
eluding arrest, caused a constable
to be injured, two automobiles and
a truck to be damaged and Cali
fornia Highway ra:roiman to get
so enraged he still is inarticulate.
Walter Walsh. California High
way patrolman. stopped Juan Su-
roze to arrest him for being drunk
on the highway near Brawley
Sunday. Suroze waited until Walsh
left his parked automobile and
started toward him and then drove
away. This happened three times.
The patrolman the next time park
ed his car just slightly on the
pavement and reached the MeXi-
can before he could drive away.
Just as Walsh reached the best
part of his grafton, a truck ap-
preached. Walsh tagged down the
driver, Joseph Hassar of Tucson
and he started to pass the patrol
car. HaSSar saw car approach
ing from the rear and noted
Walshs signals to stop were ig-
nored.
Constable Lester Cochran, driv-
er of the oncoming car, became
confused and in spite of the trucks
two clearance lights, two tail
lights and two red reflectors,
crashed into it. This impact threw
the truck into the patrol car.
Cochran was taken to a Brawley
hospital for 1epans, his car was
damaged to the extent of $500,
and the patrol car and truck each
suffered $75 damages.
Walsh Strengthened out the mess
and then had the supreme salts
faction of taking Suroze to Jail.
Otherwise the Mexican and his
automobile would have come out
of the encounter unscathed.

NOlldi oGti1A
OF S3,424.564 SIS paid out by the
u. S. treasury to make Jobs foI
needy unemployed during the last
fiscal year, total of S154,476,34l
went for costs Of directing the big
drive.
Administrative costs for the whole
program were 45l per cent. The
figures were taken from a National
Emergency council report based on
treasury balance sheets summariz-
ing all work-relief spending be-
tween July /, 1885, and June 80,
1896.
The biggest job-making agency
was Harry L. Hopkins Works
Progress administration. WPA spent
Sl.3O5 .802 $50 of the So. .424, ,564.5l5
and 500 SOC. .525-or 4.87 per cent
went for administrative expenses.
The statistics presented a prob
able campaign issue. Governor
Landon. on his most recent cam
paign tour as Republican presiden-
tial nominee, asked the government
to announce how much is being
paid all the relief directors. coordi-
nators. supervisors and straw boss
es."
John G. Stutz, Kansas state relief
director, made public a letter to
Hopkins and Evan Griffith. Kansas
WPA director, asking for program
administrative expenses.
Hopkins replied with a formal
statement declaring Stutz. a hold
over appointee of Democratic gov
ernor. makes it pretty clear that he
has put himself in the hands of the
Republican national committee.
mittee.
He said our records are open TO
John Stutz or to anybody who has
a legitimate reason to see them, but
we won't allow these records to be
abused by individuals who would eX-
plot them if they got ti4eir hands
on them"
After declaring Stutz' statement
was another one of those red her
rings" Hopkins indirectly attacked
Governor Landons State Relief ad-
ministration.
"Mr. Stutz's complaint about feo-
eral agencies forcing local COM
munities TO share in the cost OF
relief is a thing We have been up
against in Kansas all along" he
said
THE state of Kansas has never
been willing to pay anything toward
the aid OF unemployment. Other
states seem to think that II is only
fair that the cost Of unemployment
relief should be jointly borne by
local, state and federal govern
ments."
WPA officials indicated Hopkins
would not send Stutz a statement
of WPA administrative costs IN
Kansas.
Besides WPA. 20 other govern
ment agencies were listed by the
National Emergency council as shar-
ing in program costs. Largest ones
were:
