Westward Trip Encircling
Globe Will Keep Close
to the Equator.
•7 tht Asfoclated Press.
NEW YORK, February 12 —Amelia
Earhart will assume the role of "guinea
pig” next month in a globe-girdling
air trip in which she hopes to "find
out more about the reactions of hu
man beings to flight.”
Dressed in brown slacks, her clear
blue eyes shining with anticipation,
the only woman to fly solo over both
the Atlantic and Pacific announced
her plans to start in March on a
27,000-mile westward flight around
the world.
' "It’s something I want to do more
than anything else in the world,” she
aald.
As casually as a housewife outlining
a shopping tour, she described the
route to be taken, "as close to the
Equator as I can go.”
Capt. Harry Manning, a sea cap
tain, frequently decorated for heroism
in ocean rescues, will accompany Mrs.
Putnam as navigator, at least across
the Pacific.
“I’m going to dump him off some
where after we are across the Pacific,”
■he said.
"From Oakland we will fly to Hono
lulu,” she said, "then we plan to hop
■cross the Pacific on the longest water
Bight, 2,550 miles, to Howland Island,
Just a speck in the ocean.”
Step by step, she traced her project
ed route . . . Eastward from Howland
Island to Lae. New Guinea . . .To
Darwin, Australia . . . northwestward
over the regular England-Australia air
route . . . across Africa over a path
Cot yet determined . . . from Dakar,
Africa, to Natal, across the South
Atlantic . . . and finally back to
Oakland by way of either Miami or
Mexico.
“I am going to be the guinea pig
this time,” she laughed. “I want to
know what food is best for long
Bights, to find out what happens to us
humans after hours and hours of
(lying and why.”
Her plane, she said, will carry a
maximum of 1,150 gallons of fuel,
enough for a 4.000-mile flight, “If I
Stretch it far enough.”

ADMITS LONE GUILT
IN DAVIS SLAYING
Farm Hand Is Reported to
Have Acted by Himself
in Kidnaping Doctor.
By the Associated fuss.
KANSAS CITY, February 12 —Con
siderable secrecy was thrown around
plans today for the prosecution of
lean-jawed Robert Kenyon after the
23-year-old farm hand was quoted as
confessing he alone kidnaped and
killed Dr. J. C. Davis of Willow
Springs, Mo.
Col. B. Marvin Casteel, head of Mis
souri's highway patrol, announced
Kenyon had made a full oral statement
in which he told of coldly shooting
down the 67-year-old country physi
cian January 26 in a thicket as the
man frantically waved a check book
and offered to pay $5,000.
Officers rushed Kenyon here after
the physician’s body was found last
week. He was to have been arraigned
on a murder charge yesterday at West
Plains, Md„ but the Howell County
prosecutor postponed the hearing until
“some time next week.” Officers did
not comment on a report that Kenyon
would plead guilty.
Casteel said Kenyon admitted killing
Dr. Davis about 35 minutes after
luring him into a car on a fake med
ical call.
“Kenyon said he marched the doctor
from his car into the thicket by the
road,” Casteel asserted last night at
St. Joseph, Mo.
“Dr. Davis drew his checkbook from
his pocket and argued with Kenyon
to accept a check for $5,000. Kenyon
refused. Dr. Davis took a couple of
steps toward him and Kenyon pulled
the trigger, he told me. He said he
shot the physician six times.
The highway officer asserted Ken
yon gave as his motive for the slay
ing the fact he had no place to keep
Dr. Davis while negotiating for ran
som.

cists out of the area completely.
At Almeria. said dispatches received
here, the normal population of 50.000
had been quadrupled by the influx of
refugees, and authorities were taking
steps to send them to other points.
Government troops, meanwhile, were
reported reorganizing, preparing for a
counter-offensive.
Despite the loss of Malaga, govern
ment planes were said in official re
ports to have shot down four insurgent
pursuit craft and one tri-motored
piano In that sector, bringing death to
all the occupants.
Just north of Madrid a Fascist col
umn battled fiercely to take the village
of Fuencarral. while insurgent planes
bombed Madrid’s north station, south
of Fuencarral.
Newspapers assailed the bombing of
Alcala de Henares, in which a woman
and five children were reported killed,
as “a new criminal attack on a non
military objective.” The town lies
about 20 miles northeast of Madrid.
An official announcement said de
fense authorities were anxious to
facilitate the evacuation of foreigners
remaining in Madrid and urged those
wishing to leave to notify police.
Automobile traffic between Madrid and
i the coast continued through Alcala
de Henares.
INSURGENTS SHELL ALBORAYA.
Moat of Shells Harmless to Villagers
Near Valencia.
VALENCIA, February 12 OP).—In
surgent warships hurled more than 30
shells into the village of Alboraya,
only two and a half miles north of
here, early today.
The bombardment started at 1:40
a.m. and lasted a half hour. No cas
ualties had been reported to Valencia
at mid-moming, although it was
known only slight damage was caused.
Most of the shells fell harmlessly on
the beach.
There were no signs of panic as
the citizens heeded the alarm sirens
and hid in bombproof shelters. The
sound of the firing was heard plainly
in Valencia, leading at first to the
belief another attack was being made
on the seat of the Socialist govern
ment.
NEW INSURGENT FRONT.
Jarama River Southeast of Madrid
"Tightened.”
WITH THE FACIST INSURGENTS,
Southeast of Madrid, February 12 (JP).
—Insurgent besiegers, led by dashing
Moorish troopers, established a new
10-mlle front along the Jarama River
Southeast of Madrid today and tight
ened their military grasp on the city’s
supply routes.
Sweeping out of the hills, at the
southern terminus of this front, the
insurgents drove government' militia
men and an international defense
column from the east bank of the
river and occupied San Martin De La
Vega, on the west bank. There were
heavy government casualties.
(From this point the new front runs
north and slightly east of the Madrid
Valencia road, which insurgents have
announced they control. The govern
ment, however, insists the road still is
actually open to travel, although un
der fierce fire).
The main body of insurgents, said
reports from the front lines, was
streaming across the Jarama for the
eventual push to the north on the
eastern side of Madrid. Success in
their advance would virtually com
plete the encirclement of the capital.
MALAGA HOLDS MASS.
MALAGA, Spain, February 11 (IP).—
A victory mass was celebrated today
under the palm trees of the city’s
principal park within a few blocks of
the famous Malaga Cathedral, from
which the last of the miserable refu
gees who made it their home for
months were moved out.
Under a noonday sun about 10,000
citizens attended the mass. The Duke
of Seville, one of the leaders of the
Insurgent forces which captured this
port Monday, and his state sat bare
headed on horseback during the serv
ices and then reviewed a long column
of troops. Overhead Fascist airplanes
performed spectacular evolutions.
Hundreds of refugees who lived in
squalor in the cathedral during the
Socialist occupation of Malaga were
evicted by the insurgent authorities.
Twelve members of the civil guard
who served on the Malaga "Control
Committee" during the Socialist regime
went on trial before a Fascist military
tribunal. The prosecution charged
they had approved mass executions of
insurgents, but the defense pleaded
they had served on the committee
merely to try to keep order. Many
townsfolk were called as witnesses for
each side. A priest testified in favor
of one defendant ^

HEARINGS PUBLIC
Several Points to Be Cleared
at San Francisco, Where

SAN FRANCISCO, February 12.—A
Department ol Commerce airline in
spector said today puzzling circum
stances in the plunge of a huge trans
port Into San Francisco Bay, fatal to
11, will be studied at a public inquiry,
probably starting tomorrow.
The hearing and others will seek
to confirm if the plane's occupants
survived the crash only to drown; if
the landing gear was up or down; If
the wing flaps, designed to slow the
landing speed, were adjusted.
The luxury liner of United Airlines,
Inbound from Los Angeles, fell Into
the bay Tuesday night after passing
over Mills Field and circling to return.
Millionaire Not Unconscious.
Autopsy Surgeon Dr. J. N. Dallal
said the body of wealthy Mark Fon

recovered, indicated "he was fully
conscious—not even dazed—after the
terrific Impact, but as to how long he
fought Z cannot say.”
The Oakland Tribune reported In
vestigators found the landing gear
had not been let down and the wing
flaps were not adjusted so as to slow
the landing speed.
Officials of Douglas Aircraft Corp.,
builders of the 12-ton, 21-passenger
plane, said their Investigators also re

HUMAN RELAY RUSHES AID.
By the Associated Press.
FAIRFIELD, Wash., February 12.—
Young Dr. William E. Jones has battled
for a month through the deepest East
ern Washington snows in 30 years,
racing with the stork and with death,
but he still likes his job as a country
doctor.
“We country doctors have a job to
do,” he said today, “regardless of
weather conditions: I don't see any
thing unusual about that.”
Snowplows have worked for days to
clear paths for him to reach isolated
farm houses.
"In one such experience I found a
15-year-old boy suffering from pneu
monia at a farm house,” Dr. Jones
said. “He was near a crisis so I pre
scribed a stimulant and drove back to
town for medicine during a blizzard.
The wind and snow blocked the road
behind me.
“It was four days before snowplows
could buck to within a mile of-the farm
house. The crisis, was so acute that
farmers set up a relay in which they
passed the medicine to each other to
carry it over the mile of deep snow
drifts. Fortunately, the boy responded
to the treatment.”
The young doctor, came here four
years ago from Rush Medical College,
Chicago.
“Of course, It has handicaps of
weather and scattered patients,” he
said, "but I like the job.”

these reports, so you people couldn’t
tell who wrote them,” he explained.
Mason testified his corrections were
"mainly grammatical.” He added that
some papers ‘‘possibly were destroyed
just prior to the service of the sub
poena.”
Asher Rossetter, Pinkerton general
manager, testified he found copies of
the papers in his New York office
about two weeks ago and had no idea
why they hadn’t been turned over to
the committee earlier.
"The committee has never seen an
original report,” La Follette shouted.
"Where are they?”
“I can’t tell you,” Rossetter an
swered.
Mason also said he removed "per
sonal'' papers from the office, but said
he knew of no office records boing de
stroyed after service of the subpoena.
He then explained that part of the
“correction” of records in Peterson's
apartment consisted of crossing out
references to labor In the reports be
cause it was then the practice to make
such reports verbally to G. M.
Pug mire next told of being ordered
.to go to Peterson's apartment to "re

Finally, it was testified, the revised
and the original reports both were
sent to New York headquarters of the
agency, where copies were made for
the committee. None of the witnesses
compared the original or revised re
ports with committee copies, it was
claimed.
Referring to Journal sheets which
showed billing for "oafety service,” La
Follette asked if any Pinkerton rep
resentatives were qualified safety en
gineers. Edward S. Clark. Cleveland
Pinkerton official, said they were not.
but pointed out that agents reported
such an occurrence as a worker's

Another part of the general in
formational service was a summary
of industrial disputes throughout the
country. Clark explained that Pinker
ton operatives were detailed to strike
areas or places where labor organizing
was known. He explained further
that any such reports would be in
Peterson’s office in Detroit.
“You’re in contempt of the subpoena,
aren’t you?” La Toilette asked Peter
son when the latter admitted not
producing any such reports. “Didn’t
you receive any instructions after the
committee subpoena was served?”
“Yest from the management,” Pe
terson replied.
“And what were they?”
“To make records available.”
“What did you do?”
“I took some of the reports, time
sheets, personal records and lists of
operatives out of the office, but I got
orders later to bring them back,”
Peterson replied.
Paper* Pawed Through Panel.
Persistent and angry questioning by
La Toilette next disclosed how Pink
erton officials in the Detroit office had
passed papers through a sliding panel
while a committee agent, arrived with
a subpoena, was examining the files.
The records were handed to ’’eterson
by a chief clerk, Peterson testified,
and he put them in his brief case.
After taking thepi home. Peterson
said, he returned the papers to W. H.
Shoemack, head of the Detroit office.
He did not bring back his personal
papers, he said, adding that some of
them had been destroyed.
Peterson said he was directed by
Clark to remain at home a few days
after the subpoena was served in order
to reeclve telephone calls there, instead
of at the office.
Finally, Peterson hazarded the guess
that he was at home less than two
weeks, during which he was visited
by Clark, Shoemack, Pugmire, Mason,
all officials of the Detroit office, and
two clerks.
As the hearing closed yesterday
afternoon, nine officers and employes
of the Pinkerton company were being
grilled relentlessly by Senator La Toi
lette in %n effort to determine meth
ods followed in more recent months
of espionage service to General Mo
tors.
One of the disclosures thus effected
was that the agency maintained a
separate office in Detroit for receipt
of calls and dispatch of orders to -
undercover informants. Within the
space of a few months this office had '
four different locations, the last one
being in the Book-Cadillac Hotel.
In 1934 such an office was main- j
tained in the Hoffman Building in a
suite adjacent to the United Automo
bile Workers, it was testified. In order
that surveillance might more easily ;
be maintained over union members.
With the real extent of service ren- j
dered G. M. still uncertain, Senator
La Follette ordered O. C. Turrell,
treasurer of the agency, to furnish
the committee with complete finan
cial records of business done by
Pinkerton for the corporation from
1933 to 1936, inclusive. His request
was prompted by a discovery that
Pinkerton invoices for 1935 showed
$203,333 billed to G. M., while the
corporation had reported only $167,
586 to the Securities and Exchange
Commission. I
