because I went to public school and
learned all those bad words by the
time was nine years old. We forget
them at 16. They disgust me but do
not shock"
The effect OF censorship on such
books, he said, would be merely to
advertise them.
Running the gamut Of oontempo-
rary books, from those OF the "ten
great geniuses" Of England to Gone
With the Wind" with which he dealt
at length, DR.. Phelps said that not
to have read Margaret Mitchells
story was to be regarded as an
eccentric.
To get the answer to the greatest
mystery Of the day, did Rhett Butler
eventually return to Scarlett?" he
made a special trip to Atlanta, Ga,
to interview Miss Mitchell-and it Is
still = mystery.
When he told Miss Mitchell he be-
lieved Butler would surely go back to
Scarlet after their final quarrel which
ended the book, she said she hasn't
any idea whether he will come back
or not"
DR.. Phelps said he thinks the real
heroine of the book is Melanie and
commented that Butler lived for
Scarlet but would have died for Me-
lanie" He said he told Miss Mitchell
Butler apDeared to him more of a.
"movie type" but the author replied
that he was "the most real character
in the book"

until exploded. With this one we
elected not to essay too much altitude,
going through at $500 feet. We were
a full hour and half getting through,
having stretches of thick weather
which afforded us practical oppor-
tunity to switch over to instrument
flying.
Weather Clears.
In ocean flying, represented largely
by those 100000 miles logged to date
in regular operation Of the smoothly
functioning first trans-Pacific airway
to the north of us, the experience has
been that helpful and cheerful condi-
tions usually wait beyond a cold
front" This again proved true on the
present fight, for, once beyond the
front, the weather cleared for perfect
observation work, and also at hand
was brisk southerly wind, which
quickly stepped up our speed to nearly
ITO miles an hour.
We climbed gradually to 5000
foot altitude, and beyond Etau the
whole panorama Of islands, extending
for nearly 200 miles in length along
our course and representing the
Tongatabu group, with the Happai
group beyond, spread out on the ocean
floor beneath us.
Because of the air track We fol-
lowed we crossed the international
dateline early in our flight, so, whereas
we took off on what was Sunday in
Auckland, most of our flight was made
during the time interval which the
Western World knows as Saturday.
Toward the end Of this day, as
measured in terms Of Greenwich time,
we encountered sudden wind-shift
and, after brief period Of air turbu-
lence, our favoring tail wind vanished.
This was an important meteorological
challenge, deemed noteworthy in
aerial surveying, and we went in
search of it. Flying at one time at
nearly 10000 feet, we decided to look
for the lost wind near water level and
rapidly dropped down to 1900 feet.
Drift sights taken at this lower alti-
tude soon revealed we were not alto
gether successful, as our overWater
speed still remained low, compared
with the high speeds We made in the
opening stage Of our fight.
II Minutes Late.
AS I had reported ahead to Pago
Pago that we would land there at
4:5O G. c. T. Q1:50 pm. E. S. To,
we climbed back to 5000 feet, where
we found conditions considerably i'm
proved and more favorable. As re-
suit of this shift in wind, We were
81 minutes late on our estimated fly
ing time for the route of 1900 miles.
On our arrival, questioning the value
of a night-long servicing Of our Clip
per in order to achieve dawn take
off this morning, We decided to delay
the next stage of our flight until Mon
day, when we fly back to Kingman
Reef, where the steamer North Wind,
serving as a temporary floating air.
base, awaits us. From Kingman Reef,
we proceed a short 1,100 miles back to
Honolulu, where the survey flight
technically ends.

'SEX-N0VEt' ISSUE
Critic Advises "Tact" in
Answer to Local L.
brary's Problem.

In a two-hour discussion OF Con
temporary Books and the Value OF
Good Reading" DR.. William Lyon
Phelps delighted an audience consist
ing mainly Of women last night at
Town Hall.
He was unable. however, to give a
direct answer to DR.. George F. Bower
man, public librarian, who confessed
he was wrestling hopelessly' with =
disturbing question-whether to ban
from the library strong" books now
in vogue, by which he said he meant
certain "oversexed, indecent novels"
DR.. Phelps adroitly avoided direct
answer, appearing to do so reluctantly.
A censorship, he believed, would do
more harm than good" and DR..
Bowerman agreed with him.
Dr. Bowerman said librarian is
damned" If he does circulate such
books and damned" If he doesn't.
The best that Dr. Phelps could do
was to advise tact" under the cir
cumstances. IF you hide such books
you feed curiosity" he said in sug-
gesting readers should be dealt with
individually.
Il simply wouldn't recommend such
books myself" DR.. Phelps explained,
but, of course, it is very difficult
problem for a librarian"
Denounces Unprintable Words.
In a scathing denunciation Of this
class of books, DR.. Phelps said: II

SAM0AONRETURN
Native Landing Crew Ex-
pertIy Handles Craft, Capt.
MusiCk Writes.
BY EDWIN C. MUSfCK,
aA.in pm Hmerican Cllnuer

By Radio to The Star.
PAGO PAGO, Samoa, April S (N.A.
N.A).-The first step in the final
stage of our survey flight to explore a
new air route over the Pacific between
the United States and Australia is
now completed, with the second flight
for this purpose ever made over the
air-water way connecting the Samoan
Islands with New Zealand.
Our arrival here at dusk Saturday
was like the return to a group OF old
acquaintances and familiar scenes.
Our purpose in back-tracking on our
survey flights, to achieve this all
important factor in familiarization, is
nowhere better demonstrated than in
this second landing on the waters of
Tutuila Harbor.
Apparently, however. we have not
yet become an old sight to the hos
pitable people here, as thousands OF
natives came down to greet us when
we stepped out of the Pan-American
Clipper to be received by Capt M.
Milne, United States naval governor
and officers Of his staff. The six
brown natives, trained by the Pam
American engineering corps to serve
as a landing crew, handled the ship
like experts.
Betting on Arrival.
The excitement on the part of the
natives over our arrival seems to have
been stimulated partly by the conf
dent betting among skeptics that we
never would return, many Of the chiefs
and subchiefs being takers on our be-
half. The friendliness and hospitality
displayed rival that which we en-
joyed during our stay in Auckland.
The Aucklanders might be described
as a great harbor people, with high
pride in their facilities to assist inter-
national transportation, in which they
believe the airplane has a logical and
natural place.
On our flight yesterday we saw
much which we missed on the way
more which we had first observed on
the other flight. We stuck closely,
coming back, to a straight airline, and
did not detour as we did going down,
to include the Kermadec Islands in
our survey. On this track our first
landfal is tiny Etau Island, which, l
am confident, will now become one of
those prominent name places in the
conversation of world travellers, as
have Midway and Wake Islands, as a
result of the airplane
With a stream of radio bearings
always on hand from Pan-America' S
efficiently working radio station here
and with the weather perfectly
satisfactory for sun shots, we hit Etau
right on the nose four hours after our
take-off. All our weather troubles
were mostly behind us at this stage,
after the first two hours of flying.
We had no sooner left Great Barrier
