LOS GELES, June %
G.N.S0.-Final tests and check
ups were being made today on the
sleek twin-motored plane Of How
ard Hughes. millionaire aviation
enthusiast, as he studied charts
for a projected rouhd.the.world
flight.
Although Hughes, himself, was
reticent it was believed the flight
would start officially from Los
Angeles. possibly within a week.
It will be under the joint auspices
of the National Aeronautic Asso-
citation and the Federation Aero
nautique International.
NO AIM AT RECORD
From here, it was learned,
Hughes plans to fly nonstop to
New York and, after another
check up there, to fly nonstop to
Berlin.
Associates of Hughes said they
did not think he would attempt
to lower the record of seven days,
Is hours and 40 minutes estab
lished by the late Wiley Post, al
though Hughes has a penchant
for cracking speed records.
SPEED OF $50 M. P. H.
Last year, he surprised the
nation by making a breathless, re-
cord smashing dash across the
country in 7 hours and %
minutes.
The Hughes plane is a low
winged transport, with a capacity
of II passengers and is capable
of a top speed of $50 miles an

Hutton Admits "FamiIy Fuss";;
Babs Just Immigrant" Now
Count and Father-n1-Law Heiress Must Wait for
"TQlk 1t Over" u. S. Citizenship

0.N.SD Countess Won HaugwitzR enventlow the
former Barbara Hutton today learned to her sorrow
Just how precious is the democratic title of Amer
lean citizen"
Some time ago, the heiress to the Woolworth
5.and-10centstore millions voluntarily renounced
her American citizenship.
Her marriage to the Danish count in no wise af-
fected her citizenship, but Barbara, for her own
reasons went through the legal process of severng
her citizenship in the country OF her birth and
adopting that of her husband.
MUST WAIT FIVE YEARS
Today, with reports Of rift between the countess
and her count flooding the newspapers, word came
that Barbara had decided she now would like to be-
come an American again..
But Washington authorities informed her that
even the heiress to millions can not change her
supposed to have the privilege Of changing her
mind. To Barbara'S CONSERVATION, she was told
that she is now just another of the millions Of for
eigners who would like to come to America.
To regain her citizenship she would have to be-
come an immigrant, even though she might cross
the ocean in de luxe suite on the Queen Mary
instead Of down in the steerage.
HAS TO AWAIT TURN
It would take minimum of five years for Bar
bara to become an American again. She would
have to apply for entrance to the United States
an immigrant from Denmark, and then wait until
American immigration authorities decided whether
she was acceptable in character and education and
might make good American citizen.
If there were any good Danish peasants ahead of
her who had qualified earlier and were waiting
place on the quota, Barbara, regardless of all her
millions would have to wait in line, and the imm
gration quota granted Denmark is small.

The count read the cable care

clared. You can see that my

Wage-Hour Bill Far From Perfect
But Meets American Federation
Of Labor Approval, Green Says

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-In a
letter to all affiliated organizations,
President William Green, of the
American Federation Of Labor, said
the wage hour bill passed by congress
was Ear from perfect" but in the
main gave effect to the principle Of
helping unorganized and exploited
wage earners.
"The long and difficult struggle
over enactment Of q national mini
mum wage and maximum hour bill
has been concluded at last with the
passage of a compromise measure by
congress" President Green wrote
'The bill is far from perfect" he
added. There are certain provisions
in it which we would like to see
changed and hope to have changed
before long. But, in the main, it
gives effect to the fundamental prin-
ciples fought for so courageously and
tenaciously by the American Fedora
tion Of Labor in the interests Of all
the working men and women in the
country, especially the unorganized
and downtrodden workers.
Fundamental Requirements Met"
After a detailed account Of the
fight for wage-hour legislation. in
which he criticized the committee fol
Industrial organization for its oppo-
sition to the bin submitted by the
A. f. of L., Green went on to say:
The compromise bin meets the
fundamental requirements laid down
by the American Federation Of Labor
in these major respects:
Il 1t establishes rock-botton
and universal minimum wage of 2g
cents an hour for the first year, to be
raised to 80 cents in the second year
Below these figures, the law will moi
permit wages to drop in industries
engaged in Interstate commerce

44-hour week the first year, 42-s
hour week the second year, and a 40
hour week thereafter.
To Work For Revision
"FThe bin fails to meet the stand
ards Of the American Federation Of
Labor in certain other respects. The
method of administration, while an
Improvement over the original bill, is
cumbersome and undesirable lii per-
hitting differentials by industries on
wages between 80 and 40 cents an
hour, the bin also treads on danger
Gus grounds. The provision requiring
certification by the National Labor
Relations Board Of collective bar
gaining representative with regard
to exemptions from maximum hour
provisions where contracts with or
ganized labor exist, appears to be an
unwise delegation Of new powers to
that board. However, the bill contains
such vital concessions to the prin-
ciples for which the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor stood and which the
CIO opposed that we should not con-
denim It in entirety for its undeniable
faults.
Furthermore, the American Feder-
alton Of Labor is not and never will
be satisfied until the bill is perfected.
The good features Of the present bill
when it becomes law, will become eff
fective almost immediately Opera
tion Of the bad features, by the very
nature Of the law, viii be deferred for
some time. Before that time arrives,
the American Federation Of Labor
hopes to have the faulty provisions
righted"

Unions Attitude Praised
Commenting upon the action Of the

the local building trades councils and
local unions, Administrator Straus
said:
"These evidences of cooperation Of
the Building and Construction Trades
department and Of union groups in
all parts Of the country with the
United States housing authority are
particularly gratifying to me, as they
viii be to all who are interested IN the
low-rent housing program. Stabilized
wage rates on the low-rent housing
projects will mean that those projects
