BLANK CHECK PLAN
FOUGHT BY MARTIN
Bay State G. O. P. Legis|a.
tor Hits Suggestion by
Roosevelt Board,
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The signal for united Republican
opposition to the proposal of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's committee on Gov.
eminent reorganization for "appro-
priations in lump amount subject to
executive release and discretion in
their expenditure" was given today
by Representative Martin of Massa-
chusetts, assistant minority leader OF
the House and chairman of the Ma
tional Republican Congressional Com
mittee.
In a little more than four years,
President Roosevelt has been given
the power to spend, without restric-
tion upward of IS billion dollars, or
more than nine times as much as 80
Presidents were given in period Of
143 years" Martin pointed out
Instead of erasing the control Of
Congress over Government spending,
we must increase the control by Civ
ing the House and Senate Appropria-
tions Committees clerical assistants
to keep them better informed regard
ing departmental spending" he en-
phasized Give each subcommittee
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee one or two good account
ants, with authority to check on
the departmental expenditures, and
you will save the taxpayers some real
money"
Aside from the bill introduced in
the House Thursday, proposing to
add to the White House secre.
tariat six more administrative as
sistants" at salaries to be fixed
by the President, at not more
than $4,000 each, there is scant
prospect of any reorganization legis-
lation being passed. The bill spon-
sored by Chairman Ramspeck of the
Civil Service Committee for exten-
sion of the civil service by blanket-
ing in those now employed in various
New Deal agencies-is about the most
that can be expected.

FLYERS PROTECTED

Miss Earhart and Navigator
Made No Provisions for
Tropical Blaze.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3 (N.-
Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan fore
saw the possibility of being adrift on
the ocean, but likely they did not ex-
pect to encounter conditions as trying
as being af1oat in an airplane or rubber
llfeboat on an equatorial sea.
Their familiarity with rescues at sea
and recognition of the hazards of the
2,57O-mile flight from British New
Guinea to tiny HoWland Island led
them to be prepared for such an
emergency.
Their plane itself, with its great low
wing, six empty gasoline tanks and
light aluminium frame made itself
floating raft.
They carried a quickly inflatable
two-man rubber lifeboat and life belts
for a final emergency. They were
equipped with flares and Very pistol
to attract rescue ships or planes at
night, and a large yellow signal kite
for use in the daytime. Special radio
equipment for communication from
the water was also in the plane
Emergency rations and a plentiful
supply of water were reported stored
aboard the plane before its takeoff
from Lac
But they could do nothing about
the blazing hot equatorial sun. In
the rubber raft they would have no
protection from the suns direct rays
Even the water remains at a constant
temperature of about 50 degrees.
This is nearly 80 degrees above the
normal temperature of the ocean at
San Francisco.
The possibility of sharks circling
about them would add only to their
mental discomfort as long as they
stayed af1oat in the plane or lifeboat.
Noonan. a master mariner who first
went to sea nearly 80 years ago. has
participated in a number of rescues
at sea, although he himself was never
adrift before.
On one occasion he aided in reScuing
five French soldiers from an ice foe
Another time ne joined in saving
the lives to Portuguese fishermen
whose boat had sunk.

There is just as much truth in the
present-day charge as there was in
that against Roosevelt. ''+ A great

ADVISER CERTAIN
AV|ATR|X IS SAFE
Officer Who Mapped Flight
Believes Plane May Be at
Island Near Rowland.
Ry the Associated Press

Ry the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, July 3.--The man
who mapped Amelia Earhart's globe
circling flight, Lieut.. Comdr. Clarence
S. Williams, expressed belief today
that she may have landed at Baker
Island. some 40 miles south of How
land Island, the dot Of land she missed
Williams said Miss Earhart and her
navigator, Fred Noonan, may have
over-corrected their course for trade
winds. He clung. however to the be-
lief they we're safe somewhere"
At one extreme Of correction on
their plotted course they may have
gone as far as 18O miles south of
Rowland Island, he said.
Speed Of Trade Winds.
During the Summer, particularly
in June said Williams, ''the south
east trade winds blow over part of
the course at % to % miles an hour.
This would require the pilot to steer
to the right of their course to- allow
for drift angle of about degrees.
Near Howland Island, the average
winds are easterly, with force of lS
miles an hour.
The eight degrees may be the secret
OF why the flyers did not strike How
land as scheduled. They may have
allowed for the effect of wind which
may either have died down during the
night or may have been changed al
together by some vagrant storm area
II the flyers allowed for drift of eight
degrees, and if the wind died down
so that this correction was not needed
at all-they might have gone far as
l8O miles to the south of Rowland Is
land"
May Have Passed Rowland,
Williams said the Earhart plane
may have passed over Howland Island
when the surface of the sea was
covered by fog or haze"
In this case" he explained, How
land Island might not have been
sighted at all, even though the plane
was on its course.
If the plane is afloat, it probably
will be carried toward the west by the
ocean current at the rate of 10 to 40
miles day. Sooner or later, if it
keeps af1oat, it will wash ashore on
some island, for the current charts
show drift that might carry Mis-.
Earhart and Capt Noonan right
back along their course, past Drum
mond Island, past Buka Island, past
New Britain"
Time Needed for Flight.
Comdr. Williams said the average
speed of $50 miles an hour he as
sumed in plotting the course would
have brought Miss Earhart from Lac,
New Guinea, to Rowland in II hours
minutes.
Comdr. Williams said Of Miss Ear
hart
Il know her as one of the great
personalities of the age. a woman in
whom Is merged all the admirable
qualities with which the human race
is blessed-the greatest flyer of mod
ern times
Her spirit is deathless She is one
of the immortals of aviation. l know
that she is alive and that she will
carry on until she is rescued"

The battleship Colorado was ordered
today to join in the search for Amelia
Earhart.
The order was issued by Admiral

tial. Her hair had gone gray, and
her face taken on deep, permanent
lines.
But suffering had left legacies
other than physical disability. She
could not shake off the horror of
the original catastrophe. That
dreadful moment just before the
impact; when her mind had appre-
hended with pellucid clearness the
virtual certainty of extinction, was
with her always, retiring little
before the distraction of daytime,
but returning to ravage her nights.
After she had been home a few
weeks her nightmares returned
at first in the form Of sudden
sweating awakenings with pound
ing heart; later, as her strength
increased, taking more active and
violent form. The nurse, who had
been engaged to stay at The Will
derness so long as her services
were required, often had difficulty
in restraining her. Harold Ark
wright. confessed himself at a loss
for an effective treatment, apart
from drugging her lightly. Pri-
vately he suggested she should be
taken to a psyche analyst, though
his professional position debarred
him from taking any steps in the
matter. In all other respects he
was satisfied with the progress
made. True, Esther was silent,
n1orose, touchy, as she had never
been before, sensitive in the ex-
IRENE to the fact that she was a
cripple but her physical strength
was returning so rapidly that he
felt confident that these, symptoms
would prove transitory, at least in
any aggravated form. q

It was a hideous contraption, sug-
costing a device of the torture

the weights, overwhelmingly pain
full, were piled on to the limits of

In the case of the tibia, some
progress was made by this method,
though owing to the time that had
elapsed muscles had atrophied and
it was impossible to make a really
satisfactory job. Still, it was
judged best to leave it at that,
trusting to massage to bring about
a gradual Improvement. But the
fracture to the humerus did not
respond. The broken bones showed
no sign Of coming together, and if
the arm was to be saved at all a
plate would have to be inserted.
But this project set up a vicious
circle. The longer plating was

May Map own
FORECASTS
Says New Technique May
Plot Course Of Storm 10
Days Ahead
By KILLER KREIGHBAUM

WASHlNIlON, April /. (UP)
Every hurricane may write its
own forecasts if congress ap-
proves the first elaborate tests of
new technique for tracing
storms by their Associated stat
ic," Representative J. Mark Will
cox, D., Fla, said last night.
The new scientific approach for
plotting q hurricanes path so
that warnings can be put out as
much as o week or ten days in
advance and thus prevent loss Of
life, has been worked out by ex-
perts at the University of Flor
ida at Gainesville, Fla, and the
University Of Puerto Rico at San
Juan, P. r.
In the only practical test by
the University Of Florida during
the hurricane in the Gulf Of Mex
leo in July last year, the findings
of the Associated static" appa-
ratus were within one degree Of
the arc Of the course plotted by
the U. S. weather bureau, it was
calimed.
The process worked out 1T the
universities is based on the theory
that an electrical disturbance is
connected with every m a j o r
storm, especially hurricanes. BY
developing finely attuned instru-
mentS, much like the direction
finder used in aviation, it is pos
sible to pick up the electric dis
turbance, locate the center Of the
disturbance, and chart the direc-
ton Of the storm. By having three
stations, it will be possible to OBJ
tain n triangulation and thus
find the exact location Of the hur-
ricane.
Representative Wilcox has ask
ed the house appropriations COM
mittee to allocate slightly more
than $4,000 for establishment OF
third associated static" wealth

be located west OF the line be-
tween Gainesville and San Juan.
