senger on American Airlines.
McCarran pointed out that various
phases of air transport control are
divided among the Commerce and
Post ONCE Departments and the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
The need for an adequate air ter
minal for Washington was pointed out
by Charles F. Horner, president Of the
N. A. A., who declared that aircraft
pilots operating here "are good" and
added: They have to be good because
they fly in and out Of Washington
Airport"
Among the guests of the association

MADRID, March 81 LP.-Govern-
ment forces turned their own success
full defense of the rich mercury and
coal area at Ciudad Real, on the
Cordoba front, into slashing drive
today toward insurgent-held coal
mines at Penarroya.
Government bombing planes roared
over mountains between the Pozo-
blanco sector and the Penarroya coal
fields and bombed Penarroya and
nearby Belmez in an effort to dis
organize rearguard defenses in those
vital regions.
Occupation of Alcaracejos and VIII
laneuva del Deque advanced govern
ment troops about nine miles west
along a railroad from Pozoblanco
These neighboring towns were taken
at bayonet point yesterday.
The first task of the victorious gov
ernment militiamen was to solidify
their strength in those newly wor
positions while an advance guard Of
cavalry, aided by bombing and ma
chine cunning planes, harassed re.
treating insurgents.
Government artillerymen rushed
their field pieces into new, strategic
sites to prevent effective counter.

4 proposed $6,400 fee for Sabath's
Chicago law firm in connection with
= real estate reorganization case
Firing back at Church yesterday,
Representative O'Malley, Democrat, of
Wisconsin said the SABBATH firm had
taken the case two years before the
Investigating Committee, of which he
Is 4 member, was established.
He said Judge Barnes would not
approve the $6,400 The courts later
said $4,000 was reasonable fee.
S35,00o Fee Charged.
Kelly interrupted then with the re-
mark about the s35,O0O fee for
Barnes
The House committee knew about
it, O'Malley asserted.
He said the Chicago Title & Trust
Co. had handled many real estate re-
organizations in Chicago, most of
which find their way before certain
Federal judges"
Church, he said, represents an Illi-
nois silk stocking and Gold Coast
district" He added:
1T Is just coincidence that many
Officers of the Chicago Title & Trust
Co. live in the silk stocking district" !"
Dirksen Defends SABBATH.
Representative Dirksen, Republican,
OF Illinois, also went to Sabaths sup
port. He said SABBATH was man of
"unimpeachable integrity and de-
plored Church's criticism as lament
able"
At . morning hearing before the
House Judiciary Committee SABBATH
had urged action on his bill to create
q Federal conservator for real estate
reorganizations as q means Of guard
Ing bondholders' interests.
He said even some judges conceded
q racket" exists in courts handling
reorganization cases.
Judges handling the cases." SABBATH
asserted, "are appointing their friends
and hangers-on in the courts and pro-
fessional receivers in whom we can
have no confidence"

flight was perfect in every respect and,
with tail winds favoring us, our aver
ages at times were as high as ITO
miles an hour We few most of the
time at an altitude of 5000 feet, en-
joying excellent visibility. The func-
tioning Of our radio direction finder
was particularly gratifying, con-
stantly fixing our course by an almost
continuous stream OF bearings sent
from Pago Pago and Auckland.
Islands Are First LandfaI.
Although the Kermadec Islands are
included in the New Zealand Great
Barrier, they really are the first real
landfall Of traveller inbound through
Auckland Harbor. We sighted Mount
Hobson, near the middle Of the
group, rising to an altitude of nearly
5000 feet, at 3 pm. Qocal time) and,
less than an hour later, We sighted
Auckland, an impressive city to view
from the air, with its regular pattern
Of red and green roofs, cleanly and
precisely laid out.
Our flying time from Pago Pago to
Auckland, more than 1900 miles, was
made in IL hours and 81 minutes,
representing the best time made in
any portion Of the entire fight. Those
speaking in praise of the achievement
of the Pan-American Clipper here
today were stressing this factor OF high
speed.
Also gratifying Is the sharing by
both Americans and New Zealanders
of an identical point of view as to the
mutual advantage existing in estab-
lishment of a regular aerial trade
route between the United States and
Australasia, New Zealanders pointing
out that, as fast as is the existing
regularly operated airway now con-
Meeting the United States with the
Orient, this new route provides an
opportunity for even faster service
and over a course so long proven by
surface sea travel to be one Of the
most important to all the peoples of
the Pacific.
Without Unusual Incidents.
Reviewing our fight as whole 1t
takes on unromantic overtones which
must inevitably accompany any purely
engineering project. 1t was complete
" without unusual incident except
for those which might befall any craft
in routine fight, but our great
interest remains centered upon those
physical facts disclosed by our survey
as to landing facilities and the ap-
proaches of harbors which we visited.
From this aspect, even considering
the limited facilities which we now,
find at tiny Kngman Reef, this route
appears in all ways ideal. AS to
Kingman, it is only necessary to re-
call the state in which our original
survey fight found Wake Island when
the first trans-Paciflc airline was pro-
jected.
Then a tiny machete-overgroWn
waste with a reef-closed harbor, it
has now been transformed into mod
ern up-to-date community, with an
ideal inn and other modern facilities.
Construction, development and all the
other lessons learned in pioneering
that original transoceanic air route
should 60 far toward speedy COM
pletion of a United States-NeW Zea-
land airline, of which our survey
fight is merely one of the prelim-
mary steps.

the Roosevelt court bill, declared re-
Gently that sportsmanship required
acceptance of judicial decision after
fair trial. In reply, Robinson said
"One wonders if the justice has
forgotten that in February, 1885, when
the Supreme Court delivered the
famous gold clause decision he, from
the bench, struck in rage at his fellow
members, at the President and Con-
gress, declaring that the decision had
destroyed the Constitution
Nowhere In the Supreme Court
decisions, nowhere In legal literature
does judge stand more emphatically
condemned by his own test as a poor
sportsman"
Declaring the Presidents suggestion
to infuse new blood into the Supreme
Court was the mildest proposal ad-
vanced, he said speech by Senator
Glass Monday had added nothing to
the argument.
He simply denounced" Robinson
said
He added he regretted Glass "has
become so alarmed and emotional
over this issue that he can find in
his heart nothing but contempt and
bitterness for those who dare question
the sanctity and infallibility of the
Supreme Court.
Court Reversal Cited.
"On the very day that Senator Glass
was denouncing the program in such
Ntriolic and extravagant language,
the Supreme Court itself proved that
the President is right by completely
reversing its stand on the subject of
minimum wage legislation"
Robinson said that Glass and SEN
ator Borah, Republican, Of Idaho, an
other court plan opponent, in the 1890
debate on confirming Charles Evans
Hughes as Chief Justice, expressed a
desire for a Supreme Court person.
mel that would not strengthen the
viewpoint Of the majority"
He argued economic views of nom
lnee for the court as legitimate sub
ject for Senate consideration, and
added:
Congress has just as much right,
LOT wholesome economic purposes, 70
increase the court as the Senate has
to reject nomination with the same
motives.
Nov, however, the Senator from
idaho and the Senator from Virginia
have abandoned their proposal in 1890
to amend the court "a quotation from
. speech by Borah) and propose tc
correct erroneous decisions which they
regard a violative of sound principles
by amending the Constitution"
Robinson said the Presidents bill
would not curb the courts powers.
Neither the authority nor the in
dependence Of the court Is involved, n
he added, 'unless you believe that the
present justices constituting the court
have vested right to have their own
opinions perpetuated."
Tacitly, the majority leader made II
abundantly clear that the courts
about-face on the minimum wage
issue has not diminished the admin
1stration's determination that the
court legislation shall be enacted. He
turned its decision. in fact, to the pur-
poses 6 his own argument.

31.-Behind us today lie 1000 miles
Of 4 new transoceanic airway never
until now charted from the air fol
the purpose Of converting it into 9
new aerial trade route gated to the
speed Of modern times.
Since the Pan-American Clipper
landed on the waters OF Auckland
Harbor in the dusk OF last evening
bringing to a conclusion the west
bound portion of our flight from the
United States to Australasia vis
Hawaii, Kingman Reef and Pago Pago
the hospitality of the New Zealanders
has been lavished upon us.
Particularly gratifying to us, who
were selected to climax and confirm
three long years OF careful engineering
and ground survey work in preparation
for this second trans-Pacific airline, L
the fact that we were able to negotiate
the entire 1900 miles Of the flight
from Pago Pago to Auckland in day
light.
Detour Over Islands.
So satisfactory was the final stage
Of our night from the United State:
that we were able to make wide de-
tour to inspect the Kermadec Islanos
some 500 miles northeast OF the
entrance to Auckland Harbor. We
we're told here today that these islands
four in number and standing, at leas'
from the viewpoint Of our aerial OBJ
servation, very close together, were no
discovered as a group, but that two
Macauley and Curtis Island-were
found in 1888 and the other two no
until five years later. This fact wa!
particularly impressive to us as aeria
surveyors because we passed over al
four in less than 80 minutes.
Also impressive to us was the In
formation that, at present, these
islands are visited only once yeal
by a Government steamer. In theiI
isolation, typical Of scores OF island!
which we have seen on our aerla
survey assignments, these Pacific out
posts look with special enthusiasm
upon the transportation advantages
Of modern airplanes.
Line May End Isolation.
1t is inevitable that, within few
years after regular air transport re-
duces travel time between the Unitet
States and Australasia, the entire
mode of living and the viewpoint O.

We were much impressed by thu
eagerness of people in such isolated

Of the American people. Similar in
quiries greet US on all sides here il

The detour to inspect the Kermade'
Islands also took us over the tin!
