"The cardinal was particularly

When the visit ended, the cardinal

That portrait stands today on Mr.

He described as invalid section

resolution for the veto of presi-
Dental reorganization plan. The
section would allow any legislator
to demand a vote on such a reso-
luton within 10 days after its sub
mission to congressional commit

measure to 10 hours.
Mr.. Clifford said such resolu-

measure, contended that in mo

guests attending the christening will
make it difficult for those not hold
ing invitations to inspect the trans
oceanic clipper from close range to-
day, it was pointed out. For this
reason. air station officers suggested
that those who do not have special
invitations postpone their visist until
tomorrow or Sunday.
The Civil Aeronautics Authority
has adopted special air traffic
rule prohibiting other aircraft from
flying within 1000 feet of the
Yankee Clipper during its opera
tions from Anacostia in the general
vicinity of Washington today, to-
morrow and Sunday.
To Go Back Monday.
Current regulations prescribe that
all civil aircraft shall remain at
least 500 feet apart, but the author
ity ruled that special precautions
should be taken in the case of the
clipper because it will not be
operated under routine conditions,
is less maneuverable than aircraft
of normal sizes, and undoubtedly
will be the target Of Photographic
planes.
The special rule is warranted, the
c. A. A. declared, because unusual
public interest" in the clipper might
result "in numerous aircraft at
tempting to maneuver near it in
order better to observe its opera
ton"
The clipper will return to Balti-
more Monday and will make demon
stration flights there Monday and
Tuesday. She then will go to the
transatlantic air terminal base at
Port Washington, Long Island, for
demonstration flights during the re-
mainder of next week.
The clipper is one of six sister
ships ordered by Pan-American
Anyways at total cost Of S.
