DOOM GL0BAL HOP 5MA5HE5
 ALL RECORDS
World -CireIing Solo Pilot Announces He Will
 Try II Again

CHICAGO, Aug. ll--IR-Pilot Bill Odom said today that he would try it again after setting a new record for the fastest trip around the world
 The 27 year-old veteran flyer broke all previous globe circling records as he buzzed the Douglas airport control tower yesterday just 73 hours, five minutes and II seconds. after leaving Chicago Thursday on his l9,645 mile solo trip.
 "The good Lord was taking care of me for a while last night" Odom said, explaining that he had dozcd off from fatigue over the moun- tains of Western Canada and awoke to find himself flashing toward a l9,000 foot mountain peak.
 Despite failure of an automatic pilot. lack of gas near the end of the trip, and extreme weariness, Odcm. with his converted Army A~26 bomber the Reynolds Bomb shell, broke all existing records These included the former solo record set in 1883 by the late Wiley Post, of 186 hours and 49 minutes, and the previous flight of the Rombshell with Odom, Milton Rey- holds, Chicago pen manufacturer and flight engineer T, Carroll Sal lee, which made the trip in 78 hours, 55 minutes last April. Odom's average speed for the ] flight. including nine hours and 30 minutes on the ground, was ap- 1 proximately 269 miles all hour; but during the 63 hours and IS minutes of flying time he averaged 3i0.59 miles per hour.
 Franklin Lamb, Odom's flight manager, said the youthful airman would enter the Bendix Air Races ct Cleveland Aug. 30 and is plan ming another global flight in late October with scientists and news men aboard
 The balding, six foot two inch airman said it had been his ambi- ton to circle the globe ever since he met Wiley Post in 1883 in Tulsa, when Odom was 13 years old. Post gave him an autographed piece of the fabric of his record setting single-engined plane. the Winnie Mae.
 Early yesterday Odom paid hom- age to Post by leaving the frag- ment, attached to a small wreath, ..t the Anchorage, Alaska, airfield, in tribute to the earlier record smasher. Post died in 1886 plane crash with Will Rogers at Pt. Bar row. Alaska.

GOVERNMENT TO
 ASK JAIL TERMS
 IN TRUST CASES

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-tR-U. s. Attorney General Tom Clark, say ing there are some groups among us who are trying to restrict or monopolize trade" declared today the Department of Justice will in- sist on both pail sentences and heavy fines in antitrust cases in the future.
 Addressing the Fraternal Order of Eagles annual convention, Clark asserted, we must pass on to the youth of the nation the pricesless gift of free enterprise under our
 democratic system
 Certain ideologies," he said. ad- vance strange theories that claim the state should create opportun- iity, initiative and skill merely by the order of some bureaucrat. It is no crime to make money. It is a crime to corner the money market, or, in other words, to restrict or monopolize trade. The antitrust laws carry a l jail sentence of one year besides heavy fines and from now on we shall insist on both. The pres ent tendency must be cured We shall use these laws to protect America from those who are so greedy that they would destroy our system itself"

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON It won't be announced for some time, but Postmaster General Bob Hanne- gan, who had more to do with putting Harry Truman in the White House than any other one man, has decided to yield to his doctors - and to Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder. He will resign effective Nov. l.
 Replacing him as Chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee will be Clinton Anderson, now Secretary of Agriculture. There has been no decision as to who will be Postmaster General, but ex-Senator James M. Mead of New York, former Chairman of the Post Office Committee, is un- der consideration.
 With Hannegan will also step out Democratic executive director Gael Sullivan, who though step- ping on some Democratic toes, has done more to pep up the Demo- cratic National Committee than anyone since 1944.
 Hannegan has made repeated efforts to improve his health and last winter underwent an opera ton for high blood pressure at the Leahy Clinic in Boston. The op- eration was made more difficult by a gall-bladder complication and was not entirely successful.
 Meanwhile, and though absent most of the time, Hannegan has been the last remaining vigorous Roosevelt man in the Cabi- net: He has consistently fought for Roosevelts New Deal policies, has argued that if the Democratic party swung to the right it would only become an echo of Republi- canism. In this, he has been vlg- orously opposed inside the Cabinet by Secretary of the Treasury Shy der, representative of the conser- vative right. The two have been bitter opponents, with their en- mity not confined to politics.
 Of late, thanks to Hannegans absence, it is reported that Shy der has the inside track, and that needing from some of the anti Hannegan clique around the White

LOST BANNI5TER
 PLANE REPORTED
 FOUND ON BEACH
Two Hunters Discover Rust Entrusted Landing
 Gear Near Seward

SEWARD, Alaska, Aug. l1-lR-- A Chamber of Commerce Commit tee headed hy R. c. Ingram has reported uncertainty as to Identity of the plane earlier concluded to be that Of missing pr. Ray Bannister and Harold Roth.
 Doubts we're raised when it was found that the tire and tube on the landing gear were of war sur plus make while bills showed that Bannister had purchased tires and tubes from Goodyear. Thus posi- tive Identification awaits check with an Anchorage tire dealer
 SEWARD, Alaska, Special to the Empire-delayedD = Two Seward men on a hunting and fishing trip have cracked one of the mysteries of Alaska flying. The two, D. Ground, Seward baker and his cousin Carl Graham, discovered the right-side landing gear of the plane missing since last December 26, with pr. Ray Bannister and Harold Roth aboard.
 The discovery was made on the beach at Gains Head. nine miles south of Seward, Friday afternoon. They immediately reported their find to the search committee headed by Roll Ingram, who, with party of men including Mrs. Bannisters brother, examined the landing gear and the spot where it was found Positive identifica- ton of the landing gear as Ban- nister's was made by Vern Tiny Trakowski, an airman who was thoroughly familiar with Bannis- ter's plane.
 Other fishermen who had visited the area report the landing gear was lot on the beach few oayS previously. Hydraulic oil still drip ping from broken line seems to indicate that the gear had recently become detached from the plane, although the condition of the rust encrusted gear seems to indicate long immersion in salt water The tire, still inflated, causes the gear to float with small area above water, tests have proved, so it is believed the gear could have drift ed some distance to where it was found
 A slide on a cliff near the wat CTS edge is to be examined for airplane parts on theory that per haps the plane hit the cliff and dropped into the water, which reaches a 600 foot depth shortly off shore
 Mrs. Bannister and Mrs Roth, who have maintained hope all through the long months that their husbands might be alive in some inaccessible spot on beautiful, rug ged Kenai Peninsula, are grief stricken at the find Mrs Roth is planning to return to her home in Minnesota after the birth of baby due this month.

Hughes Filings Charge When Plane Contract
 Inquiry Adjourned

WASHINGTON, Aug 11.-IR- The Senate inquiry into Howard Hughes plane contracts was ad- journed today until fall, and Hugh es declared it was called off be- cause Senator Brewster (R-Me) was too cowardly' to continue their fight.
 Hughes made this charge in a statement read to newsreel cam eramen after the Senate War h. vestigating Committee had abrupt edly adjourned it's inquiry into his $40,000.0 wartime plane contracts until November IT.
 Brewster is chairman of the full committee.
 Senator Ferguson -Mich) the chairman of a subcommittee con- ducting the hearings, announced that the group decided on the de- lay because John w. Meyer, Hugh cs' party-throwing publicity man, could not be located for further testimony on his expense accounts.
 With Brewster vacationing in Maine, Hughes said that the com mittee had fought a losing tattle against public opinion"
 Brewster and Hughes, million aire Hollywood plane builder, ex- changed charges before the com mittee in testimony last week.
 With both under oath, Hughes charged and Brewster denied that the Senator offered last winter to call off the inquiry if Hughes would agree to a merger of the Trans World Airlines with Pan American AirWaYs.

He sank, however, before they could get another hold on him.
 Olson drowned in about 10 feet of water approximately 25 feet from shore. The two men, with the as- sistance of MT. and Mrs. Roy Car rigan and others, recovered the body in about 20 minutes and brought him to shore for artificial respira- ton. Howard Dilg and Frank Heinke, of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department, brought an in halator to the scene and worked over Olson's body for an hour and a half without success.
 Could Not Swim
 The body was taken to the Charles w. Carter Mortuary where it is waiting for instructions from Mrs. Olson. in Vancouver, Wash, as to burial. In addition to his wife and Mrs. Trambitas, Olson is also sur vived by two sons, Carroll and Arlin, both of Vancouver.
 The accident took place at D. m. He was reported as being unable to swim. Dr. William P. Blanton, who was also called to the scene, pro- nounced Olson dead.
