Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOLLANDIA, Netherlands New
Guinea, May 6 (N.AN.A).-While
England rearms for any emergency.
one Of the great links Of her empire,
the commonwealth of Australia, is
quietly preparing to survey an air
route to Africa, which would be a
reserve protection for Great Brit
aims communications in case Of war.
This was disclosed as the long
range, twin-engined flying boat,
Cuba, owned by the millionaire avi-
ator-scientist of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, Richard
Archbold, was made ready to leave
here for Sydney for final checkup
before attempting, in June, to span
the Indian Ocean-still unconquered
by air. The Cuba is copy Of the
United States Navy's famed sea-
planes, which have made spectacu-
lar mass flights to Hawaii and the
Canal Zone in the last two years.
To Return to U. s.
Mr.. Archbold, his nve-man flight
crew, and fellow scientists in an
expedition for the American
Museum which has carried them
deep into New Guinea jungle
country for almost a year, will sus-
pend operations on this tropical
island until late in 1910. After

ment, Mr.. Archbold will return

73d Council
Thirty Vice Regents Due
To Attend Sessions
Beginning Thursday

The Mount Vernon Ladies' Asso-
citation, the first women's patriotic
organization in the United States,
will hold its 73d council beginning
Thursday.
Mrs. Horace Mann Towner, sixth
regent Of the 86-year-old organiza-
ton, will preside. Thirty vice regents
from as many States and the Dis
trict Of Columbia are expected to
attend.
On the opening program are the
regents report and that Of the SUI

Among the relics to be accepted
during the meeting is rare volume

the African west coast, thence to
st. Thomas, Virgin Islands, on .
long ocean hop, then via Miami
to San Diego, where the Cuba
will be overhauled at the consoli-
dated Aircraft Corp. plant where
It was built.
Negotiations have been under way
for several weeks between Capt.
Lewis Yancey, navigator for Mr..
Archbold, and Capt. p. g. Taylor,
noted transoceanic flyer. Only
recently has the Australian gov
ernment decided to sponsor the
fight, chartering the Cuba for
5000 after no suitable British
airboat was found available.
The S, ,400-mile jaunt from Onslow,
on the west coast Of Australia, to
Mombasa, Kenya Colony, on the east
coast Of Africa, Is hailed as Of the
greatest military significance. Ex-
perts see in the itinerary an alter
native flight route, establishment Of
which would have made the Austria
liam government feel more secure in
such crisis as that preceding the
Munich peace Of last October. At
that time, several planes bound for
Australia from England were tempo
rarily held In France in fear Of war.
Reserve Empire Route"
This so-called reserve empire
route" would enable British planes
to avoid hostile and vulnerable areas
in wartime-such as the Mediter-
ranean and the zone between Singa-
pore and Australia. Planes could fly
from Lisbon to the west coast of
Africa, then across the continent to
Mombasa and on to Australia, thus
remaining over friendly territory all
the way.
The fight will be made with
view to establishing bases at three
Indian Ocean islands possessing IA
cilities to accommodate large sea-
plane. They are Cocos Island,
where the German raider Emden
was destroyed by the Australian
battleship Sydney in the World
War; Diego Garcia, in the Chagos
Islands, and Maize, in the sey-
chelles group. All belong to Eng

Education Association
OPPOSES School Parts
OF fGriffenhagen Plan
Separate Teaching
From Politics,
Group Advocates

The Education Association OF the
District, comprising over 80 per cent
Of the white teachers Of Washing
ton, yesterday voted opposition to
the Griffenhagen report as it affects
the school system and support OF
measures for the separation Of local
education from political control.
The teachers, meeting for their
spring luncheon, also held their
election of officers, naming Mrs.
Mary S. Resh, Abbot Vocational
School, president.
Their opposition to the portions Of
the Griffenhagen report dealing
with public education here was
based, according to the resolution,
on claims that the education
phases of the report are contrary
to "the generally recognized Ameri-
can democratic principle of freedom
of education from control by parti-
san officials; that they are con-
trary to the recommendations OF
the Presidents Advisory Committee
on Education and that they are not
based on the recognized American
way of placing ultimate RESPONSE
bility and administration with the
people of the community through =
responsible board of citizens
Report Reconsideration Asked.
The teachers also voted to urge
reconsideration Of the Presidents
Advisory Committee report for the
purpose of a constructive program
that would "liberate the educational
potentialities of the District, provide
high degree of economy and local
control and assure an adequate basis
for financial support Of public edu-
cation"
A 13-point program Of powers and
duties Of a board Of education was
also indorsed by the teachers, who
urged that the maintenance and op-
Grafton of a complete public school
system should be vested by Congress
In a school board with such powers.
One of the most important OF the
"ample powers" listed was the pro-
oosal that the school board should
prepare a school budget, special
items of which no board or official
other than Congress itself would
have the power to veto.
The general sentiment of the res
olutions was summed up in one that
urged the President and members
of both houses of Congress to realize
that efficiency, economy of opera
ton and realization of democratic
ideals in education are best obtained
under the principle of separation Of
administration of education from
the general functions OF govern
ment"
Other Officers Chosen.
Other officers elected at the lunch
con included Miss Helen Samuel,
Gordon Junior High School; Miss
Edith Williams, Raymond School,
and Thomas J. Holmes, Eastern
High School, vice presidents: Mrs
Ann Thrasher, woodrow Wilson

j. Moser, Western High School,
treasurer.
Elected to the Executive Commit
tee were Mrs. Ruth K Webb, Curtis

which are sympathetic to Commu-
nism."
At this point, Delegate Harry N
Stull took the floor for the oppoSi-
ton to declare We're intelligent
enough to keep any subversive Or
ganizations our of the Federation
without adopting constitutional
amendment telling us not to admit
such organizations to membership"
After prolonged debate over a
proposal to establish separate
standing committee on recreation,
the Federation decided, by vote
of IS to 16, to have the Committee
on Education continue to handle
matters pertaining to recreation.
A substitute proposal to place rec
reation and parks under one COM
mittee also was defeated.
Starts Heated Controversy.
The proposal to take recreation
out of the jurisdiction of the Edu-
cation Committee precipitated a
heated controversy, during which
Delegate Stull charged that those
who were seeking the change were
merely trying to take recreational
matters from the Education Com
mittee in one way or another. Pro-
ponents of the suggested change
took the position that recreation is
q broad enough subject to warrant
a separate committee.
Under several amendments adopted
by the Federation, the Highways,
Parks and Waterways Committee
was changed to Highways ana
Bridges; City Planning and Parks
were combined; Fiscal Relations was
changed to Fiscal Relations and
Taxation; and a new standing COM
mittee, on Rivers and Harbors, was
created.
The delegates decided to hold a
special meeting week from next
Saturday. At that time. it was
decided, the special order of business
will be consideration of proposed
rules of procedure to govern the
award of The Evening Star Trophy,
which is to be presented annually
to the Federation delegate or COM
uittee which performs the outstand-
ing civic work during the year.
A proposal by the Metropolis
View Citizens Association that the
Federation consider sponsoring a
"civic excursion" to the New York
Worlds Fair was referred to a spe-
cial committee by President L. A
Carruthers. The committee was
directed to confer with similar
committee OF the Central Business
mems Association, which is making
plans for an excursion to the fair.
