as does every city and State on the
mainland, and some of our citizens are
not in accord with the policies of the
United States Government, which is
equally true Of many of their fellow
American citizens within the 4S States.
But the Puerto Rican people as q whole
love the American flag and all that it
stands for and look forward eagerly to
the day when their relationship with
the United States will be still closer
than at the present time.
Contact with our American institutions
and manufacturers unquestionably will
help greatly to cement relations between
the United States and its good neighbors.
A better understanding of American
democracy and of the traditions and
habits of the countries involved is Ger
tain to result when their peoples mingle
on our progressive island. BY adding
to those desirable developments an i'm
pressive picture of Puerto Rican labor
enjoying privileges almost unknown in
some neighboring countries, Puerto Rico
will have made = notable contribution
both to the United States and to the
labortng classes In Latin America.

Three Already Are in Race
For President of Mexico
Early Resignation of Cabinet Members Serves
as Index to the Political Nervousness
in Nation
Bv BetfvK
By Betty Kirk.

MEXICO CITY.-An outbreak of man.
ifestos, plastered upon walls and build
ings of Mexico Citys main thorough
fares, is always an index of political rest
lessness here. Such an outbreak, begin
ming early in December and lasting until
mid-January, eliminated in the surpris-
ing and premature launching OF three
1910 presidential candidates this week.
The three candidates openly placed
themselves before the public as candi-
dates with the simultaneous resignation
of their posts in the Cardenas govern
ment, after prolonged conference with
the President. They are Gen. Manuel
Avila Camacho minister of national de-
fense; Gen. Francisco Mugica, minister
of communications and public works,
and Gen. Rafael Sanchez Tapia, COM
mander of the 1st military zone, which
includes the federal district.
Mexican law provides that the resigna-
ton of candidates from official posts
should take place in June preceding the
presidential elections. The fact that
these three precipitated the struggle by
resigning in January serves as an index
to the nervousness Of the internal po-
litical forces and may well forecast a
stormy year in Mexican affairs.
Distinct advantage is seen in the pres
ent clearly marked positions Of the three
leading candidates. That these may be-
come confused during the year is pos
sible, or that they may become chaotic
If many other candidates enter the field
is probable, but at present the Mexican
electorate could make a choice without
any antiquities or vagueness as to the
program OF each of the three men.
Avila Camacho Leading Candidate
Gen. Manuel Avila CamRcho is the
foremost of the three candidates. Hold
ing the powerful post of minister of ma
tional defense and controlling the or
ganized and usually decisive vote of the
army he entered the field far in advance:
Of his competitors. Added to this is his
great personal favor with the President
and genuine and warm popularity with
the army and the general public.
Despite the fact that his manifesto
identified him as the man who can
best continue Cardenas' policies" and
was closely allied to the program Of the
present administration, he is generally
considered to be personally more con-
servative than Cardenas. His personality
Is balanced, his ideas sane; he is neither
extremely to the right nor left.
Public confidence in Gen. Avila Ca
macho is great. If elected it is expected
he would consolidate the Cardenas pro-
gram without extending it. Some COM
menators are so optimistic of his balance
that they say if he is elected Mexico

nothing the engines could do that did
not show up on one or more indicators
and there was not stress on the air
plane which was not recorded.
The job of weighing more than $4,000
parts, which went into the airplane kept
a weight engineer and two assistants
busy through the whole construction
period. A total of 1,211,29 rivets, nuts
and bolts went into the construction.
There were 3,504 items still to go abroad
after the test period for the comfort and
convenience of its passengers.
S5,00o,000 Investment.
The six Boeing BIAS represent an in
vestment of about $5,OOO,000. They will
have the carrying capacity of 81 SKY
lounge" transports on the transconti-
mental airways. With range of 800
miles, each could carry 23113 pounds of
pay lead. The six could carry 300 pas
sengers across the Atlantic-about the
first class passenger complement of q
big ocean liner. For ranges of under
1900 miles the superclippers will have
accommodations for 70 passengers, a
crew of eight and 1855 pounds of cargo.
For 3,100 miles-the distance from San
Francisco to Honolulu with the required
berths for 40 passengers. Across the
narrower Atlantic they could carry so
passengers.
After the Civil Aeronautics Authority
issued a certificate for the first of
the big Boeings, she took off on her
first run under license from Seattle with
Test Pilot Allen In charge with his en-
gineering crew. Beside each station was
a member of a Pan-American flight
crew headed by Flight Capt Harold E.
Gray, veteran of the transatlantic test
flights of 1887, which will take over for
regular service. Other flight crews also
are being broken in for the five other
ships.
Each crew will be required to put in
100 hours Of check flying, including land
ings and take-offs under 20 different
sets of conditions, before transport
flights can begin. Ground crews also
must learn methods of mooring the
great flying boats, to slip them alongside
loading docks, to roll them out of the
water and back In and to get them into
hangers and handle the fueling and
servicing routines.
1t is probable that at least four of the
superclippers will be flown to New York
for transatlantic service and that one
or two will be put into service on the
Pacific. particularly on the San Fran
CISCO Honolulu run, the worlds longest
non stop scheduled route.
Evening star., 1939-01-29

On both sides Of the Atlantic Ocean,
fleets of transport flying boats-on this
side the largest the world has yet seen
now are being assembled for the great
est remaining aviation pioneering task,
the aerial conquering of the stormy
North Atlantic.
Actual start of service, expected to
be undertaken simultaneously by Brit
ish Imperial Airways and Pan-Amer-
lean Always, is expected when spring
unlocks the ice-bound air base at Bot
wood, Newfoundland. In no case, The
Star has been advised by representa-
tives of British Imperial Airways, will
this be later than June IS.
For this service, British Imperial Air
ways will have available four new long
range flying boats, equipped for refuel-
ing in midsir. They are the four-en-
gined. 24-ton flying boats Cabot, Carl
bou, Connemara and Clyde. The first
three already have been launched. The
fourth, Clyde, is now being completed.
They will be refueled aloft by flying
"tankers."
One Flight or More \ Week.
The flights will be supervised by Capt.
A. s. Wilcockson chief of Imperial Air
ways Atlantic division, who flew a series
of 1887 survey trips in the smaller Gale
donia. recently forced down and lost at
sea en- route from Bermuda to New
York. There will be at least one flight
a week and probaly two toward the end
of the summer, the British governmental
ly-subsidized airline has announced.
The Cabot, first of the British fly
ing boats to be completed, Is to be
commanded by Capt. j. c. Kelly Rogers,
an Irishman who joined the Royal Air
Force in 1927 and was engaged for
some time as a flying boat instructor at
the r. A. F.. training base, Calshot. In
1887 he flew the first Imperial flying
boat service down the Eiie to Kisumu
on Lake Victoria.
Pan-American Always will employ a
fleet Of 42-ton Boeing 315 four -engined
"superclippers." Designed and con-
structed specifically for Atlantic
service, these airplanes are claimed to
be "the largest, most advanced trans
port aircraft in the world" They are
said to be the first aircraft capable OF
carrying a feasible commercial load
across an ocean and are the first in
which ali four engines are accessible In
f1ight-a tremendous advance In safety.
Following six months of the most
gruelling tests to which any airline trans
port has yet been subjected, test board
of the Civil Aeronautics Authority has
just licensed the first of the super clip
pers
The test plane has gone back into the
Boeing plant at Seattle to receive her
interior fittings for passenger service
Two others have been launched and are

Nature produces vermin where
the surroundings are not clean.
We should take that as warn
ing and then do something about
il.
Speaker Bankhead suggested
concentration camps. And while
it is true that epidemics can be
quarantined, it is not a cure.
Swat the fly to avoid unWanted
microbes is much sounder ad-
vice. The fly of open rebellion
and brazen effrontery is poison
ing the minds of good citizens.
Free speech, free press and
free assembly are like other good
good things in life, when car
ried to the point of abuse they
reverse themselves and become
destructive.
I'VE have sought with patience
to respect the guarantee of free
speech; but it may be only fair
to admonish all such groups that
they take council of their pru-
dence lest by going one step too
far, it will be too late to escape
the wrath and Indignation of all
real Americans. Bankhead.
Mr.. Bankhead sees the point
where tolerance may come TO a
dramatic end; where freedom of
speech will back-fire. And he
seems to think that's a cure.
However at that point the worst
is yet to come. What we can do
in a constructive way now should
not be put off until tomorrow.
Tomorrow may be too late.

Ninch's arbitrary-so some call ii
"highhanded behavior has pro-
voked counter attack on
Capitol Hill that may result in
a complete revamping of federal
radio control laws.
Quietly but persistently Mr..
McNinch, with official blessing,
has sought to assume the role
of censor. although he has no
such authority in the law. He
can discipline a station only when
II permits speaker to indulge
in "obscenity, indency or pro-
family" He cannot question its
political or economic broadcasts.
In fact. Washington's best radio
lawyers insist that Orson Welles
and May West had a winning
case against the FEC had they
gone into the courts for redress.

White House hobby also wants
to block newspapers from pur-
chasing or leasing radio outlets.
His weapon in each instance
is the fact that licenses are
granted for only six-month
periods, and station operators
fear 10 antagonize the radio
Gears. So the growing demand
on Capitol Hill is for amend
ments specifically defining the
commission's power on censor
ship and ownership, and extend
ing the license period TO three
years. Otherwise, Mr.. McNmch
may build BODY Of censorship
and anti-newspaper precedents
which his successors may follow
and develop.
