Filler CROSSES
u. 5. IN 9HRS.

NEW YORK, Jan. IL U,N.S0.
Howard Hughes. youthful movie
producer, established a new trans
continental airplane speed record
when he landed his lowing
Northrup monoplane at Newark
Airport early today.
The film magnate negotiated
the distance between Los Angeles
and Newark in 9 hours, 81 min
utes and 10 seconds.
The old mark of 10 hours, 2
minutes and 81 seconds was set
by Col. Roscoe Turner in a flight
from Los Angeles to Floyd Ben
nett Field during the past year.
Although Hughes arrival at the
airport was unexpected, he was
"clocked in" by an official of
the National Aeronautic Associa-
ton, who announced he had Off.
cially broken the record for q
transcontinental flight.
The lanky flier told reporters
ne had a light tail wind through.
out his flight and that no unfa-
vorable weather had been encoun.
tered. & -
Hughes said he had made his
flight primarily because he had
urgent business here and that his
chief concern had not been the
establishment of a new record,
but simply to get to the metrop-
oils quickly.
He plans to remain in New
York for a day or so, after which
he will fly back to Los Angeles.
He did not say whether he
planned an assault on the East
West record on the return flight.
According 10 the official timers.
Hughes left Los Angeles at 1915
p. m. Pacific Time (3:15 p. m.

Plan Not Decided
To date, however, they have not
settled upon their plan to bring
about fruition of their purpose.
They realize that the Demo
cratic chieftains in Congress will
make every possible effort to fore
stall a House vote on the PROPOSE
ton, especially in view of the fact
that the plan apparently Is rapid
ly winning the sympathy Of voters
throughout the country. Daily
members Of Congress are beSieged
with letters from their conStitu-
entS asking that the members vote
for the Townsend plan.
Under the proposal, every per-
son in the country so years of
age or more would receive a
monthly grant from the Govern
ment of 5000, the only stipulation
being that the 5000 would have to
be spent within the next 80 days.
May be Amendment

committee headed by Representa-

JAPAN TO QUIT
NAVAL FARLEY.
TOMORROW
Insistence'Upon Parity
With u. S. and Britain
Causes Split
BY DAVID p. sENTNER


LONDON, Jan. IA U.N.S0.
Japan was authoritatively re-
ported to have decided definitely
today to withdraw from the five
power naval conference tomorrow,
quitting the parley to save face
at home because of the united op-
position to the Japanese demand
for immediate discussion OF their
plan for common upper limit"
of naval tonnage.
The American and British dele
cations, advised of the reported
decision, plunged into immediate
bi-lateral discussion in an attempt
to salvage something OF the
wrecked parley.
In session only a month, with
q long recess taken out for the
Christmas holidays, the naval con-
ference early ran up against ia
pans adamant demand for parity
with the United States and Great
Britain, the prime point Of her
common upper limit" plan, and
has not progressed noticeably
since.
May Leave Observers
To save face at home the Japa-
nese delegates are expected to
formally quit when the conference
resumes tomorrow. It was be-
lieved possible, however, they
would leave one or more observers.
British and American delegates
decided this morning they would
agree to allow such observers at
tend future conference sessions,
although they would be forbidden
to vote or make any remarks.
If the four remaining nations
Britain. the United States, France
and Italy-should conclude a pact,
then Japan probably would be in
vited to join in it, along with Ger.
many and Russia.
Funeral arrangements" for the
conference as a five-power parley
as arranged by the delegations
provide that Japan will insist upon
formal discussion of their com
mon upper limit" plan, getting
from each delegation a formal
statement Of its position on the
plan.
The British have informed the
japanese they can expect opposi.
ton from all delegations. Then
the japanese will formally with.
draw, sticking to the position,
much ballyhooed in Japan, that
Tokyo must have parity or nothing.
The American and British dele
cations conferred this morning to
discuss the reported japanese de-
cision to withdraw tomorrow.
Japan's determination to quit is
understood to have been communi-
Gated to the British at a meeting
last night, where it transpired that
a showdown vote on Japanese
parity could not be avoided.
Means to continue a trump
conference" is now the chief con-
Germ of the British and Americans,
it was indicated.

The votes of Senators Bailey

would neither upset Government
finances nor increase general price

Speculation was rife on Capitol

announced the compromise woulc
be enacted into law whether OF
not it is vetoed.
One high Administration spokes
man said:
"The President told us to 70

form that would not disturb the
nations economic structure and
not lead to initiation Of the cur
rency. He said he would study

Census Case.

= lIlt ASSOCldt6Q FEeSS.
PHILADELPHIA, June 3.-The Cir
cult Court Of Appeals, reversing a
district court ruling, held today that
war veterans were not entitled to
preference in employment on the
Federal business census project.
Judge Joseph Burlington, senior
member of the court, said, Were this
court to hold that the soldiers pref
erence applies to the business census
act Of 1885, it would fly directly in
the face of what the Congress meant
and stated when that act was passed.
1T is for Congress to legislate in
that regard, and not for courts to
nullify what Congress plainly stated
and enacted"
The court noted that ''it is clear
that when the act of 1885 was on
passage, it was thought by the Met
calf amendment to give soldiers the
preference in employment and in op-
position thereto, it was stated that
we would destroy the purpose of this
joint resolution if we should agree to
the amendment
Following this" the court said,
'the Metcalf amendment was de-
1eated."
Benjamin Spang, a disabled vet
eran, brought the suit in the Federal
Court, Eastern Pennsylvania district,
asserting his war record brought him
no consideration in his application for
a job on the project, which was op-

holding that veterans are not entitled

"Of course, we cannot discuss the
decision until We have read it," Phil

the rights of veterans"
He explained the investigation would
be in hands of Ralph Gregg of In

FARM LEADERS APPROVE
POULTRY LICENSE PLANS
Recommendation In Line With
Efforts to Curb Theft Losses

Representative Maryland farm lead
ers approved report recommending
licensing of all persons who buy,
sell or transport poultry in the state,

bureau federation; T. Ray Brooks,
master of the state grange, and D. H.

tation of poultry by license holders

No person, firm or corporation shall
move any live poultry from place to
place within the state or into or thru
the state without a bill of sale "o1
other paper legibly signed by the ven
dor" and containing the vendors ad-
dress, the date of sale, breed or breeds
and the weight, price and number Of
poultry.
Only applicants financially respon-
sible and of good character may obtain
licenses. The license fee, for purpose
of administration, shall not exceed 81

GAS TAX MAY BE USED TO
WIPE OUT ROAD DEFICITS
Conferences Under Way To De-
termine How to Eliminate Debts

A series of conferences now under
way will determine how much of the
1887 gas tax revenue will be used to
eliminate deficits in county accounts
with the state roads commission.
These deficits, many of which have
been in existence for several years,
have restricted road construction and
maintenance in twelve Maryland
counties to a bare minimum.
DR.. Homer E. Tabler, commission
chairman, said today he expected ap-
proximately $553,3O0 in deficits will
be cancelled as result of the confer
ence. County representatives, he
said, have indicated they wished to
use portion of their gas tax income
for debt retirement.
The chief purpose of the confer
ences is to determine how the counties
wish the revenue spent for the 1886
81 fiscal year.
Garrett county is in the red to the
extent of $28,3O2.13, as result of the
last road improvement project this
summer. Other counties in default
are Cecil, Howard, Montgomery
Kent, Calvert, Caroline, Charles, St
Mary's, Prince Georges, Queen
Anne's, and Talbot.
