Brancato excused the jury and
said to Griffin:
eff you think that anybody
will believe your story, you are
foolish. For years you've been

this charge, I'll give you the

I'll give you a chance to think 1t

After talk with his attorney, the
crestfallen Griffin pleaded guilty
to attempted assault in the second

judges advice, he probably will not
get more than three years.

COMMUNIST DEL LEGATION, HUGE
CROWDS GREET SOVIET PILOTS
ON ARRIVAL IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, June %. W.P
Public officials and Communists
ioined today in a formal reception
for three Russians fliers who made
q nonstop trip from Moscow to the
Unitel States across the North Pole.
Aviation'S newest heroes, Pilot
Valeri Chkalov, co-Pilot Georgi Bal
dukoy and Navigator Alexander Be
laikov, were guests at the Soviet
Embassy ON a San Francisco Hill.
Their host was Alexander Troyan-
ovsky, Soviet ambassador to the
United States, who came from
Washington to greet them.
From Pearson Field, an Army air
port at Vancouver, Wash, where
their transpolar flight ended Sun
day morning, the flierS came last
night by a commercial plane of
United Airlines. Their own single
mdtored monoplane, which bore
them $500 miles across the top of
the world in a 63 hour, II minute
flight, was to be checked by aero
nautical officials and dismantled for
shipment back to Russia.

HOUSE PASSES
RAILWAY BILL

WASHINGTON, June 81. WR)-
The house today passed and sent to
the senate the Crosser bill setting
up a new railroad retirement pro-
gram.
A standing vote was $40 to 0.
The measure, which was reported
favorably by the house interstate
commerce committee, was drafted
at extensive conferences by repre-
SentativeS of railroad managementS
and labor. 1t would supplaint the
present retirement act. which is
under. fire in courts on constitution
al grounds.
The bill permit retirement of rail-
road employees at 65 years OF age
on maximum pensions of $l20
monthly to be paid out of taxes
levied equally against employers
and employees.
Earlier the house ways and means
committee agreed to report favor
ably the separate tax bill resigned
to raise the revenue for the pension
bill.
The revenue measure, which may
be considered later this week, pro-
vides for an initial 2& percent tax
each on employees and employers
This would increase under a grad
uate1 scale to 3A per cent by 1949

Oakland airport, the flierS attract
ed large crowds. SO dense was the
throng in Portland streets that the
Army automobile in which the
Russians rode from the airport,
was blocked. They had to abandon
the car and walk a mile through
the city
At Oakland, across the bay from
San Francisco where the United
Airlines plane landed them, an Of
ficial reception party and a dele
cation of Communists was waiting.
The plan was to keep the flierS
here until Thursday and then take
them east on tour of large cities,
including Washington, DC. where
an audience has been arranged with
President Roosevelt. 1'oday's cere-
monies began at the Soviet con-
sulate and moved to the office of
Mayor Angelo RoSsi
Newspapermen were aboard the
plane from Portland to Oakland and
Pilot Chkalov told, with Troyanov-
sky acting as interpreter, how there
was only five hours of darkness
during the entire 63- hour flight.
1T was day in the arctic when
we passed the Pole" the pilot said.
"The brilliant glare of the sun on
the ice fields was hard ON the eyes
but we all wore special glasses which
let in only Is percent of the light"
One unusual feature of the trip,
he said, was the fact that they en-
countered cloud banks 5000 meters
above the Pole. Previous scientific
observations had been that there
were no clouds higher than 5000
meters around the Pole. Chkalov
said they rose out of the clouds and
for 10 hours they used auxiliary
tanks of oxygen to aid their breath
ing.
The only water they saw near the
pole was through creVasses between
the ice fields, they said The lowest
temperature they found, % degrees
| below zero farenheit, froze their
drinking water supply and COM
PEELED them to suck on chunks of
ice to quench their thirst.
Never were we worried" Chkal-
ov said Our motor never faltered
and we always were confident that
we would get to our objective"
Next time we will fly twice as
far" he added. "We were off our
charted course for a time and ira
veled more than 1000 kilometers
when the direct line from MOSCOW
to Vancouver is 5000 kilometers.
We hit o cyclone In the Bering sea
and as we battled 1t, we lost three
precious hours and valuable fuel"
