Corrigan Has Promised Of- ficiaIs, However, He Will Send Plane By Boat POSES ON HAUNTING

 Dublin, July 19. - (UP)- Douglas Corrigan's $900 mon- oplane, the most inexpensive craft that ever was flown across the Atlantic, was re- turned to him today by Irish customs authorities, who had detained it for several hours. The plane was form ally returned to Corrigan's possession at Baldonnel Airport where the 31-year-old Los Angeles flyer landed ysterday on his "acci- dental" flight from New York.
 Customs authorities had detained the plan because Corrigan's status was slightly irregular. He had blitherly flown here without pass port and without fulfilling any of the other formalities that interna- tional travellers, and especially trans- Atlantic aviators, are supposed to adhere to.
 No Action Taken
 It was understood, however, the Irish government had decided to 1 take no action whatsoever against Corrigan although the U. s. gov- ernment had ordered his flying li- cense suspended for 30 to 60 days and instructed the customs men to return his plane to him.
 1 U. S. Minister John Cudahy was with Corrigan at the airport when the formal return was made.
 It was believed that Corrigan would remain here about week while the plane is dismantled for shipment back to the United States. Despite hints that Corrigan might have some other aerial adventure in mind, 1t was believed that he would return to the United States on the same ship on which the plane is shipped.
 Corrigan was asked If he had been notified of the suspension of his American pilots license.
 He laughed and said That's the first have heard of it."
 He went to the Fitz William Lawn Tennis club in the afternoon to watch Donald Budge fellow Cali fornian, play in an exhibition match
 Before his plane was released, he had asserted that he would like to flu n I N,of}n,N ulNilo hp ic lNara
 Corrigan said definitely that he would not try to fly back to New York but would take his plane back by steamship. He said he would make no plans until he had seen

Corrigan Scares AH h His First Attempt
Seventeen=YaerO Old Boy Drags His Left Wing Along Telegraph Wires for Half Mile-Fying Thrills
 Were His Ambition
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN Limited Press Staff Correspondent


 Los Angeles, July 19-CUP)-1n 1924 skinny, l7-year-old boy took an old Jenny up from the San Diego airport and managed to scare every body in sight by dragging the left wing for half mile along a lele- graph line.
 He dropped over each passing pole and then settled down on the wire for" another slide. Spectators hearts hopped in time with the youngsters plane until at last he landed-grinning and unscathed.
 That was the beginning and almost the end of Douglas G. Corrigan's career in aviation, which reached its surprising climax when he flew 5000 miles from New York thinking he was heading for Los Angeles-and discovered upon landing that he had arrived in Ireland.
 Blunder Makes History
 If blunder it was, history records no worse one. If 1t was practical joke, he played it on the entire civ ilized world and started the day of millions of newspaper readers at home and baroad with a chuckle.
 This is the story of Doug Corri- gan's life, gathered from smiling relatives and guffawing friends.
 When young Doug was playing hop-scotch with the telegraph poles, he was taking flying lessons at the Ryan Aeronautical School and his father, Galveston, Tex, con- sulting engineer, was footing the bills. His mother, former Texas school teacher. had died in 1922.
 Doug's incense instruct tors grounded him for months and threatened to take steps which would keep him out of airplanes for the rest of his life. These threats were exaggerated, but Doug believed

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 IS STILL FOUGHT

Boston, July 19.-(UP)-Massa- chusetts public utilities and legal officials today prepared double barreled attack on the order of a federal Judge for abandonment of B8 Old Coloney branch stations by the New Haven road.
 The public utilities commission planned to carry to the U. s. su- premc court test case" to de- termine whether the department has jurisdiction in the matter de- spite the order for abandonment granted by Judge Carroll c. Hincks of U. s. district court at New Ha- ven, Conn.
 After a public hearing Tuesday the commission was expected to re- feet the railroads petition for au- thority to abandon its Yarmouth Provincetown line.

wholesale commitment to policies and legislation of general scope.
 This was the effect of endorse ment of Senator Lonergan's radio talk last night by United States At torney General Homer s. Cummings, recent emissary of the administration into this state with purpose to con- slider candidates of such New Deal CTS as Archibald McNil of Bridge port; Representative Herman Kop- plemann, of Hartford; others anx- ious for the President to approve their entering the senatorial race against Lonergan. While only Mo- Neil, former national committee man, has announced such candi- dacy, others have expressed willing ness to seek the nomination at such time as the national administration should offer its backing.
 What Lonergan Says
 T want to be recorded as a liberal Democrat" Senator Loner- gan had said, and on the side of progressive legislators. I insist that my name go in the list of those who are in the front trenches. That man who is indifferent to the probelms of the plain people, want opposed to me.
 There have been differences, of course. between those with whom ] have been associated and myself. It is human that men differ and I have followed my conscience and that light that I possess. It is with the greater objectives and noble aims of this period that am con- cerned, and little differences can not muddy the waters"
 New Deal Principles
 Attorney General Cummings found in Senator Lonergah's remarks "a stirring statement of New Deal principles" and declared that it( the address) removed any objection to his renomination.
 No friend of the President can possibly take exception to it," the attorney general averred. "The Sen- ator places himself squarely behind the policies of the administration and earnestly asserts his loyalty to the objectives of the President"
 The attorney general apparently made reference to Senator Loner- gan's vote against the Supreme Court and reorganization bills when he said: There is ample room for differences of opinion as to details and methods. The important thing Is that we make certain that we are all going in the same direction and that we all accept the same leader ship"

Hartford, July 19.-Flouting re. ports that he would remain within state boundaries until such time a grand jury charges against various state officials had been disposed Governor Wilbur L. Cross today was in Buffalo where he will testify on freight rate matters before the h. terstate Commerce Commission.
 Acting governor of Connecticut to- day is Lieut. Gov.

Second in command of the state government Is Senator Joseph H. LaWlor, of Waterbury, another of those named in the grand jury charges, now i'll at a Waterbury hospital
 Not Going to Capital
 Acting Governor Hayes, however, said today that he did not plan coming to the Capitol. He remarked that on those past occasions when he had been acting governor, he had remained at Waterbury and that, infrequently, there were minor matters, such as signing of extra dition papers, which he attended at his office in that city. At the governors office today it was re- marked that no business is expect ed which would require Lieut.. Gov. Hayes attention. The absence Of Governor Cross from the state laid at rest rumors that the chief ex- ecutive was sticking within Con- necticut's boundaries because of the grand jury charges against mem bers of the state government. The governor has not mentioned the Waterbury charges and apparently is willing to await their outcome be- fore making comment.

GEN. FRANCO IN
 HIS FINAL DRIVE
Crushing All Opposition in Advance to Capture City
 of Valencia
By HARRISON LA ROCHE United Press Staff Correspondent


 Hcndaye, French-Spanish From tier, July l9--(UP)-The final phase of Generalissimo Francisco Franco's campaign against Valencia began today as three of his com manders pointed columns for a smashing attack on Sagunto.
 Sagunto, l6 miles north of the former Loyalist provisional capital toward which Francos armies have been driving for the last six weeks, was threatened from two sides.
 A column under Gen. Miguel Aranda, held up for weeks on the Mediterranean coastal road north of Sagunto, was reported in Nation alist dispatches from Burgos, to have reached point 10 miles north of the city. Aranda's column had been halted at Chilches, but if to- days dispatches are confirmed he has driven about two miles south from that point.
 LOyalists Dug In
 Northwest of Sagunto, on the main highway to Teruel, the Loyal ists dug in for last ditch fight at a point two miles on the other side of Viver, which is 25 miles from the sea.
 Gen. Jose Varela commanded the insurgent forces in the Viver sector and Nationalist reports asserted that it was his column which upset the Loyalist plans for an offensive
 The Nationalists asserted that when Varcla struck at Sarrion through Albentosa, further to the northwest, his swift advance upset Gen. Jose Miaja's plans and that the latter was unable to withdraw about 25,000 crack troops, trans ferred from the Madrid front, from Albentosa in time to save them.
