T,UO Air Giants Make Good
In West Coast Flight Tests
10000 See D-C4 Exceed Its anticipated
Speed-Clipper's 3S-Minute Cruise
Wins Praise From, Pilot.

The initial flight of the Douglas,
which has passenger cabin 18
inches wider than a pullman car, was
made an occasion by thousands who
lined the borders OF Clover Field Six
thousand others, plant employees, al
most drowned the thunder of the
motors with their yells as the ship
left the runway.
The Boeing, built on conventional
flying boat lines, took its first hop,
delayed by minor trouble for several
days, in stride. Lifting off Puget
Sound, it cruised for 38 minutes, land
ing on Lake Washington where an
exhaustive series of flight tests will be
conducted before it is delivered to
Pan American Airways.
Stays Up rs Minutes.
With its tricycle. landing gear, first
adapted to transport use in the Doug
las, tucked up under wings and fuse
lage, the landplane skylarked over
greater Los Angeles for rs minutes
before 1t sat down at the Municipal
Airport few miles away.
Just to show that the pillow-cushion
landing was no fluke, Pilot Cover took
off again and came in with all the ease
of a ''flivver" plane.
Engineers looked on the Boeing,
which is 30,500 pounds heavier than
its immediate predecessor in the serv-
ice OF P. A. A., as a long-sought an
swer to the carriage of larger num-
Der OF passengers across the oceans.
The Douglas, 4l.000 pounds heavier
than any land transport now in use
in this country, is expected to reduce
airline fares from 5la to "A cents a
mile through lower seat-mile operating
cost. It is flown" into a landing on
its odd gear instead of being stalled"
in, the way most airplanes are landed.

and told me General Pershing
I had almost used a sentence
that won him his appointment
to West Point and started his
Army career.
THAT sentence was:
" I love to run"
The late Congressman Joseph
P. Burrows, of Missouri, had an
nounced competitive examina-
tionS for a West Point appoint
ment. Seventeen youths re-
ported for the examination,
among them young, lanky John
PerShing, of Laclede. 1t mar
rowed down to Pershing and a
youth named Higginbotham.
The finish was a photo one and
resolved around the parSing of
the sentence:
II love to rum"
Pershing parsed it "I" the
subject, love" the predicate,
ito run" the object of the verb.
Higginbotham parsed it "I" the
subject, "love" the predicate"
"to run" an infinitive phrase,
qualifying the verb.
The committee decided Perish
ing had won and he went to
West Point.
War-weary Pershing said he
did not think he would love to
run for President or to be PreSi-
dent, great though the honor is.
81 am so years old now and
I will soon retire from the
Army" he said. 81 have worked

essentials it should be con-
demned in favor of the improved
experiments we see going on in
other less liberal lands. From
what I know of those alien coun-
tries and of this, I regard our
own as the one hope of civiliza-
ton in a troubled world"
SUGGESTS STEPS
For domestic recovery Baruch
recommended:
Equality for agriculture.
A floor under wages and a cell
ing over hours.
Elimination of unfair trade prac-
tices.s
Greater Federal responsibility
for relief.
Modification of the capital gains
and undistributed profit taxes.
Discussing international COM
merce and growth Of dictator
ships, Baruch blamed the treaty
Of Versailles for unrest in Europe.
81 think that much Of the
Nad and Fascist upheaVal stems
from the blunders of the Treaty
of Versailles. particularly in its
reparation clauses" he said.
ECONOMICS IGNORED
ITO avoid facing grim reali-
ties, burdens were placed upon
the vanquiShed which disre-
garded human equations and
economic laws as immutable as
the multiplication table.
Partly because Of this impos-
sible artificial forcing, both the
Communist and Fascist systems
also adopted measures equally
inconsistent with the great nat
ural laws of human and eco
nomic nature. In whatever di-
rection we look, the result is
not pleasing to observe"
Declaring peace hangs by a
thread" Baruch called for inter
national cooperation among ma
tions to uphold natural economic
laws" and to give the peoples o!
the world a substantial amount
of freedom.
WARNS AGAINST "MOLDS"
every action should be de-
signed not to attempt to repeal
natural economic laws but to
accommodate them to our uses
and harness them to our needs"
he said.
Every nation should consider
human equations and not at
tempt to force divergent human
fty into the rigid moldS of some
social or economic thesis"
Baruch declared America mus
choose" between continuation o.
q democratic profit system anc
dictatorial regulations of indus
try and commerce.
