Recent revisions in hospital speci-
fications eliminated the requirement
for Saturday, Sunday and holiday

a 40-hour week for this class Of
work and did away with payments
for overtime, Gen. Wheeler said.
Contractors therefore are able to

.FIivver Plane Pilots
Discuss World Trip
With 0rvi||e Wright
by the Assoeioted ersss

DAYTON, Ohio, Dec. 6.-The two
flivver-plane flyers ended the next
to last hop Of their four month
round -the-world flight today with
call on Orville Wright, the man
who helped invent the things they
flew.
Mr.. Wright greeted the two,
George Truman, 20, of Los An
geles, and Clifford Evans, q, OF
Washington, at his Oakwood home
Although they came to find out
how the airplane came to be, they
found themselves answering the
questions Of the man who, with his
late brother, Wilbur. made the first
successful airplane fight nearly A
years ago.
The elderly inventors questions
showed that he had followed with
interest the four-month odyssey OF
the two flivver pilots flying sepa-
rate planes.
Questioned on Alaska Flight.
His first question was on the
farthest northern point reached in
their flight. When informed that
it was about 20 miles south of Fair
banks, Alaska, Mr.. Wright was cur
ious about the weather conditions.
He said he understood the intense
cold and high winds of the area
made flying extremely hazardous.
Both Mr.. Truman and Mr.. Evans
assured him that flight conditions
were anything but pleasant, adding
they had been extremely fortunate
not to run into bad luck on the
northern leg of their night.
We'll, you surely had nerve to
attempt this trip" Mr.. Wright COM
mented.
Look who's talking about nerve"
oountered Mr.. Evans.
Mr.. Wright also was extremely
interested In the purpose behind
the flight and expressed pleasure
when the pilots told him their mis-
sion was to prove that the light
plane (they flew standard Piper
planes) was capable of taking lot
of punishment to which they are not
normally subjected.
His Plane Weighed COS lbs.
The light plane was again brought
into the conversation by Mr. Evans.
who asked Mr.. Wright just how
much the first plane weighed.
Minus the pilot" he answered,
ut weighed 605 pounds"
When informed by Mr.. Evans
that the empty weight of each Of
their planes was only $50 pounds,
Mr.. Wright said, he had thought
that they were quite bit heavier
Il guess I haven's kept up on the
light plane field as I might have"
he said.
The two fliers landed at the Day.
ton Municipal Airport at Vandalia
at 3:29 pm. from Kansas City. They
planned to stay here over night and
take off tomorrow morning for
Teterboro, N. j., their starting point
on the round-the-world flight
August 8.
Mr.. Evans said If conditions were
good they might make the remain
ing distance in one jump.
After their call on Mr.. Wright,
they were guests Of honor at a
Chamber Of Commerce banquet.

t0-(Iub Baseball Leagues To Be Considered al Major
 League Meeting in N. Y.
By JOE REICHLER

NEW YORK, Dec. l0-+R-Com- missioner A. B. Chandler joined the major leagues today in endorsing the long-range plan to bring in four teams of the Pacific Coast League for the purpose of expanding each major league from eight to 10 teams.
 The commissioner who was a member of the five-man committee which visited the coast last August, intends to bring the plan before the joint major league meeting tomor- row
 10-Club Plan
 Along with the National and Am erican leagues, Chandler is of the opinion that the l0-club plan is the most practical and could be accom- plished with the least trouble to baseball"
 The National League owners touched on the coast league problem yesterday as the three-day winter meetings began.
 ! Although League President Ford Prick declined to reveal the deci- sion, it was learned that the senior circuit rejected both PCL requests.
 The coast league wanted major league status as a unit, or major minor classification.
 Major League Viewpoints National leaguers held: First, the eight cities involved at the moment cannot support major league base ball; second. it would be unfair to the triple-A leagues to grant the PCL special privileges without doing the same for them
 The American League is expected to take pretty much the same action today. Should that occur, the next step. it was generally agreed. would be for the so-called Big Four" clubs of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hol lywood and Oakland to prepare the wav to purchase their territorial release from the Pacific Coast League and thus pave the way for their entry into the majors.
 The National League voted down unlimited night baseball.
 The two leagues also discussed the 22 amendments to the major-minor agreement adopted by the minors in Miami last week but did not dis close their decision.
 League Elections
 Will Harridge who still had an- ether year to serve on his l0-year pact was reelected President of the American League for 10 more years at "substan ial increase in salary" It is believed he received $40,000 per year. Prick last July was elected to fourth term as National League President.
 The National League elected to the Board of Directors. Branch Hickey, Brooklyn; Warren Giles, Cincinnati; Bob Hannegan, St. Louis, and Bob Carpenter, Phila- delphia. The American League nam ed Bill Veeck, Cleveland; Leslie O'Connor, Chicago; Dan Topping, New York, and Tom Yawkey Bos- ton.
 Philip K. Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs was named Vice President of the National League succeeding the retiring Sam Brea- don. Connie Mack was reelected to the Vice Presidency of the Ameri- can League.
 The National League, releasing
