GHOST PLANE IS BIG MYSTERY TO
 ENGLISH PEOPLE

LONDON, April 30--tR-Recur- ring reports of midnight ghost plane" sweeping out of the east at tremendous speed gave the British Press a sensational avia- tion mystery today, but the Royal Air Force, while admitting the whole thing was slightly myster- ious,' refused to get excited.
 Eyewitness accounts said the mystery craft, first plotted by ra- dar early in January, rooms over the East Anglia Coast-as though it came from the continent-and disappears inland at speed of 400 miles an hour or more.
 What is even odder is that the plane has never been seen making the return journey from England to the continent. RAF night fighters have tried regularly to intercept the ghost plane" but so far have been unsuccessful.

nomination for vice president.
With the collaboration OF Rob
ert J. Walker, secretary OF the
treasury, the general wrote
the Mckay tariff in 1846. The
bill represented the true de.
mocratic tariff principle-tariff
for revenue only. The tariff was
probably the lowest ever enact
ed into law, and historians re-
port that it's effects were extra
ordinarily successful.
The enactment Of the Mckay
tariff with reductions so drastic
that William H. Haywood resign

vote for it though he had been
elected under instructions by
the North Carolina legislature
to vote for tariff reform, was
followed by a period of unpre-

an attempt was made to repeal
the tariff bill for Is years.

sure proved so satisfactory that
