Three Flew Together Last
Year to Prove Feasibility
of Hop.
Bj the Associated Press.
Three aviators, titled "heroes of the
Soviet Union,” who sped today down
the Western slope of the globe toward
California, flew together a year ago
♦o prove the feasibility of long-dis
tance, non-stop flying in Arctic cold.
The titles were awarded them for
that experimental flight circling the
polar terrain which they crossed yes
terday after leaving Moscow.
Valeri Chkalov, 33, the pilot,
Joined the Bolshevik Army at 15 in
1919. The son of a Volga boatman,
he had tended fires on a dredging
craft as a small boy.
At the end of the revolution he
entered a pilots’ school, and later
made special studies of army pursuit
planes. His heroism in meeting the
risks of test flying, as a pilot at the
Military Aviation Research Institute,
won him the Order of Lenin.
Georgi Baidukov, 30-year-old as
sistant pilot, was a lonely child
wandering around Siberia during the
World War. The son of a repair
worker on the Omsk Railway, he
"rode the rods” away from his small
town home at the age of 8 because
he disliked the “dull life."
He learned roofing from a Czecho
alovakian war prisoner in a small
manual training school at Kainsk.
Thrilled by his first sight of an air
plane flying over the Siberian Taiga,
he set out again—to seek a pilot’s post
In Leningrad. He became both a test
pilot and a research worker in aero
nautics.
Alexander Beliakov, 4G-year-o)d
navigator, is a professor of the Soviet
Military Air Academy. The son of a
rural school teacher, he attended mili
tary school in the days of the Czar,
and served in the World War. In the
revolution, he w-as commander of a
chemical unit of the Chapayev Army,

weather conditions forced "blind
flying.”
"It's getting colder," their radio
flashed late last night. “We are head
ing directly toward Rudolph Island
radio station." They mentioned •
light crust of ice forming on the plane
in the subzero weather, but whether
It reached impending proportions was
not disclosed.
The hazardous flight, which turned
hack the first trail blazers in 1935,
began from Chelkoff Airdrome, near
Moscow, at 4 05 a m. Friday (8:05
p.m. Thursday, Eastern standard
time).
Behind a veil of nearly airtight
censorship the flyers were many
hours on their way before news of
the venture leaked out. Even then
progress reports were guarded.
Gasoline Capacity 3,000 Gallons.
The plane has a gasoline capacity
of 3.000 gallons, enough to supply
the 12-cylinder, 950-horsepower motor
for 100 hours of speeding the 24,750
pound craft through the air.
"Extremely difficult weather con
ditions" lay ahead of the adventurers,
the Soviet Embassy at Washington re
ported. plus the hazards of crossing
unexplored wastes with oddly behav
ing magnetic compasses.
An embassy spokesman pointed out
that, in the flyers’ "downhill” por
tion of the journey from the pole,
they head over some of the most bar
ren and unknown regions of the
world, where unmapped mountain
ranges may rear or uncharted seas
*pr»ad beneath.
Meanwhile anxious watch was
maintained here bv a Russian dele
gation headed bv Ambassador Alex
ander Troyanovsky, who flew secretly
to the coast to welcome the flyers
One feature seemed to be in favor
of the flyers. They faced the pros
pect of daylight for the greater por
tion of their Arctice Circle voyage.
North of the Arctic Circle there is
sunlight 24 hours a day at this sea
son.
Theoretically, the trio could be in
daylight until Saturday night, when
they would be within striking distance
of their goal if their normal flight is
unimpeded.
Oakland Municipal Airport offers
adequate landing facilities for the
plane, with wide, smooth runways
used by huge transport liners.
Troyanovsky at Field.
Most of yesterday Troyanovsky and
his aides, including Consul General
Gregory I. Gokhman, pored over polar
maps and awaited word from the
plane's radio.
Embassy spokesmen indicated the
Ambassador's chief duties would start
If and when the adventurers arrive.
Apparently to avoid publicity should
the venture fail, the Russian Embassy
brought diplomatic pressure to bear
in stifling news of the flight.
American Government officials who
might be in communication with the
plane referred Inquiries to the em
bassy, which did not relax its policy
of secrecy until late last night.
In announcing the flight the Russian
government said it had satisfied a re
quest of the “three heroes of the Soviet
Union” to organize the venture.
The plane was described as a low
wing monoplane, with retractable land
ing gear. It has red wings and gray
fuselage, marked U. R. S. S., the letter
“N” and the figures 025. It carried a
20-watt radio transmitter, the call let
ters of which are “Retet.”
From lonely Point Barrow. Alaska,
aouthward, United States Army and
Canadian officials arranged a network
of radio stations to aid the flyers with
weather information.
Master Sergt. Stanley Morgan of
Point Barrow, the man who first
flashed word of the airplane crash that
killed Will Rogers and Wiley Post, was
on duty in his isolated wireless “shack”
to listen for the Soviet plane.

Official Challenges Assertion
14 Senate Witnesses Rep
resent Navajo Tribe.
With John Collier, commissioner ol
Indian affairs, denying emphatically
charges that the policies of his bureau
had brought poverty and misery te
the Navajo Indians, the Senate Com
mittee on Indian Affairs continued its
hearing on the complaints today.
The 14 Navajos who appeared be
fore the committee, some of them testi
fying through an interpreter, declared
the sheep-reduction program had re
duced them to such abject poverty that
some had pawned their beads to get
wool.
The Indians said Navajos didn't get
work relief unless they supported the
Indian Bureau policies, and one
charged that "the bureau wants to put
us in a cage for Easterners to look at."
Commissioner Collier said that “no
such recklessly Inaccurate testimony
has been given before the Senate
committee on any previous occasion."
He challenged the assertion that the
14 witnesses represented even a sub
stantial part of the Navajo tribe.
"They claim to represent. 57 local
chapters,” he said. “There are 102
local chapters and these witnesses
have not furnished evidence that they
represent even one."
The commissioner added that "the
Navajo Council is shown by the rec
ords to have indorsed every majoi
policy of the present administration
including stock reduction, range con
trol, day schools."
Collier denied a charge that the
Navajo Council had been "abolished."
but said it had reorganized itself on
a more representative basis to gain
increased power.
In reply to the assertion that Na
vajo children were taught native songs
and dances instead of the fundament
als of elementary education, he said
the schools concentrated on spoken
and written English, arithmetic and
other practical subjects. He added
that the Government conducted 42
day schools on the reservation, an in
crease of 37 in the last three years.
TWO HELD IN ASSAULT
William Jones, 32, and Burton Gar
dini, soldiers from Fort Washington
Md„ were held at the first precinct
today, charged with assaulting Earl F,
Williamson, 34. of 3104 Mount Pleas

Soviet Flight Most Hazardous
Ever Tried, Williams Believes
j Compass Needle Would Point Straight
to Earth, if Possible, Navigator
Says, Citing Difficulties.
07 t hi. Assuciairo rrcss.
LOS ANGELES. June 19.—If the
Soviet airplane speeding from Moscow
to Oakland on a projected non-stop
flight, has successfully passed the
North Pole, the worst of a “magnetic
and mathematical jungle” has beer
(Missed. Lieut. Comdr. Clarence S
Williams, celebrated American navi
gator, declared today.
Directly over the North Pole, Comdr
Williams said, the Russians faced tota
lack of directional.
“If it were possible, the (compass 1
needle, instead of turning its heac
northward, would prnlnt straight intc
the earth," said Comdr. Williams, con
sidered one of the world's foremost
navigators. He plotted the course
Amelia Earhart flew from Honoluli
to San Francisco several years ago
and consulted with the flyer before
she started on her present flight.
Points Sonth, Reads North.
"Then, there's a sp>ot up there where
the compMiss will be pointing south
ward, but will read northward,” con
tinued Comdr. Williams.
“Of course, if the Russians flew
right over the piole, without stopping
the needle would suddenly reverse it
, self completely, it would turn right
around.” Comdr. Williams termed the
Soviet flight as "probably the most
hazardous ever attempted."
"It's easy to get lost, and danger
i ous to come down, even assuming a
landing were possible.” he com
mented. "But it’s a wonderful thing,
the most exciting mathematical prob
lem any man ever encountered.”
Stratosphere Flying.
Comdr. Williams said the feasibility
I of a commercial airline, operating on
a regular schedule from the United
States to Russia, via the pole, depends
entirely on stratosphere flying.
"Such a line would have to fly its
transport planes above the weather
areas,” he said. "You couldn’t hope
1 to beat those polar storms, 10 times
out of 10.
"Whats more, until a radio beam
can be thrown across there—and
that’s entirely practical since the beam
naturally tends to follow the Great
Circle—ordinary instruments would
be of no use. The next best thing
would be the sun compasses. To see
the sun, you would have to be above
the clouds, in short in sub-strato
sphere.”

Move by Leaders Follows
O’Neal’s Complaint Bill
Is Forgotten.
Inspired by President Roosevelt,
members of the House Agriculture
Committee got behind the Administra
tion's farm bill and pushed today, just
24 hours after Edward A. O'Neal,
farmer spokesman, complained to the
White House that the committee had
shelved the legislation, for the year.
Representative Plannagan of Virginia
introduced the measure, which pro
vides for the "ever normal granary"
sought by Secretary Wallace and
authorizes the Treasury to make pay
ments to farmers when prices for
wheat, corn, rice, tobacco and cotton
fall below a "fair” level.
At the same time, Secretary Wallace
aald Federal tenancy and crop in
surance measures appear assured of
approval at this session. He added
that the tenancy program would pro
vide from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 to
help convert landless tenants into
farm owners. The Insurance pro
gram would provide $21,000,000 to
help wheat growers avoid hazards of
hall, drought, insects and similar
losses.
The ever-normsl granary's aim is
to stabilize the amount of marketed
produce, despite crop and weather
conditions.
To hasten action on the farm bill,
Flannagan said when he introduced it:
"I am compelled to introduce this
bill at this time because all Indica
tions point to danger to the farm
ers in the coming months unless
Congress adopts legislation at this
session. The corn acreage, the wheat
acreage, the cotton acreage and the
tobacco acreage have all been in
creased and with a good season we
are going to have enormous sur
pluses."
Over White House opposition, a
Senate subcommittee yesterday ap
proved legislation to continue reduced
interest rates on farm loans.
FORECAST FOR CAPITAL
IS FAIR AND WARM
Generally fair and warm weather
for the District and nearby Maryland
and Virginia over the week end was
predicted by the Weather Bureau
today.
There was no indication of thunder
showers such as have drenched the
District for the last few afternoons
this week, although the skies were
expected to be partly cloudy to
morrow.
The official forecast was for fair
and continued cool tonight, and partly
cloudy with a slowly rising tempera
ture tomorrow.
The temperature, which reached a
maximum of 87 yesterday, stood at 77

Service Commission, which will hsve
to certify to sny “expert" appoint
ment that the President is to make.
A ruling some time ago by Acting Con
troller General Elliott held that, under
the social aecurity act, the Civil Serv
ice Commission is the final judge
whether a position will be classed as
expert. There is precedent for this
in an old Attorney General opinion
with regard to the retirement act, and
it was the refusal of the commission
to certify G-men as eligible for re
tirement because they are not in the
classified civil service that made it
necessary for a special retirement
statute to be enacted for them.
The Social Security Board “penalty
provisions" had tied up the billion
dollar Independent office* bill for
weeks, the Senate appropriations con
ferees, headed by Senator Olass. Demo
crat, of Virginia, Insisting on their
acceptance, and the House group,
headed by Representative Wood rum,
Democrat, of Virginia, holding out
against them. While Social Security
Board employes generally are under
civil service, there are 215 expert po
sitions and 84 attorneys exempt, and
it is the hiring policies that have been
followed in selecting these that re
putedly aroused the Ire of the Senate.
Bane, who felt the particular brunt
of the vendetta, is a Virginian.
When the House finally agreed to
the amendment the deadlock ended
and the measure now is ready for the
President.
The persona] provisions written into
the measure probably are without
precedent. On several occasions in
the past three or four years, the Sen
ate has sought to get control of higher
paid positions throughout the Govern
ment, which are filled at the discre
tion of administrators, and even those
under Civil Service, but these moves
have been blocked.
Final passage of the appropriations
bill brought expressions of relief from
officials in about two-acore agencies
whose funds were tied up. The uncer
tainty as to what they might expect
has hitherto prevented any planning
for the next fiscal year and has in par
ticular brought about complications
where it is necessary to make con
tracts.

BELIEF PLAN SPED
BY ECONOMY BLOC
Endeavors to Win Support
for Greater Burden for
States.
By the Aisoclited Press.
The Senate's economy bloc endeav
ored through private negotiations to
day to win approval for their proposal
to give States and cities a greater share
of the Federal relief burden.
The Senate after four days of debase
on the administration's *1,500,000.000
relief bill postponed a decision on the
measure until Monday.
Despite coalition support for an
amendment by Democratic Leader
Robinson to set a 25 per cent standard
for local contributions to relief proj
ects, its foes expressed confidence of
victory.
Senator Barkley, Democrat, of Ken
tucky predicted, "Well beat this
amendment and all others.”
Barkley and other Democratic stal
warts who split with Robinson on the
issue have urged that Harry L. Hop
kins, works progress administrator, re
tain a free hand in apportioning con
tributions.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan served notice he would de
mand a vote on his proposed substitute
for the entire relief bill. Advanced
during the 1936 presidential campaign,
it calls for relief administration by the
States, which would obtain Federal
grants from a *1,250,000,000 appropria
tion.
Members of the Senate Appropria
I —
tlons Committee estimated meanwhile
that about 120,000 aliens would be
dropped from the relief roll under a
provision of the pending relief bill.
An Appropriations Committee
amendment, adopted by the Senate,
specified that citizens of the United
States should be given first preference
for relief Jobs. Second preference
would be given to those who prior to
adoption of the appropriation measure
have filed declarations of intention to
become citizens.
Aliens illegally in the United States
and those who have not filed declara
tions of intention would be barred by
law from W. P. a. jobs, committee
members said.
Moreover, they added, the effect of
the amendments would be to exclude
all c* the 120,000 aliens now on relief
because W. P. A. officials have indi
cated that a total of 400.000 persons
would be cut off the rolls by July 15.
