SOLO NS ANXIOUS
TO HAVE RECESS
Administration Leaders Ask
Vacation Before Dispos
ing Tariff BUI
By GRACE M. STEPHENSON
* Associated Press Staff Writer.
Washington. May 30—lap—
Administration leaders at the cap
ltd are still counting on an all
'Ummer recess before disposing of
\ bill despite' a barrage of
^JlJcttng statements from the
v ”te House and republican leaders
1 congress.
• Confidence that the long dead
jck between the senate and house
ker the export debenture provision
, the senate farm bill will soon be
token and the prospect of enact
•ent of a farm measure without
*iis provision, which is opposed by
res. Hoover, are inspiring the recess
opes of leaders.
•Everything was quiet today at the
[Pltol. with both branches in recess
•r memorial day, but tomorrow |he
snferees of the senate and house
ill resume the negotiations on thPir
inflicting fajm measures broken
ff when representatives of the
ouse demanded elimination of the
lebenture plan.
No Definite Agreement
While both senate and hot^e con
ferees mv there is no definite agree
ment yet for elimination of the pro
posal. the renewal of the conference
Is regarded as bearing out the ap
parent understanding that, the sen
* ate conferees wall take the export
debenture proposition back to the
senate for further instructions.
A White House statement has
laced the sanction of President
foover on the vacation plans with
ne proviso that the farm relief bill
t % first enacted into law and that an
greement fixing a definite dat» for
senate vote on the tariff measure
I 1 the fall ts reached
In other words, congress must
'Ispose of the Hoover program for j
be extra session before the regular
«ssion convenes in December The |
ariff bill must be on the statute
x>oks and given a try-out before the
egular biennial primary campaigns
open next spring.
Senator Smoot of Utah, veteran
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee. apparently settled the con
I trove ray in the republican ranks
over immediate passage of the tariff
measure wfhen he declared it w'ould
require two months of work bv the
committee to get the bill readv for
the senate.
Urge President
Senator Jones of Washington, as
sistant republican leader, and Sen
ator Borah, republican. Idaho, have
Urged the president to stand against
a recess until the tariff bill is out
of the way. Senator Jones after
conferring with the executive is
sued a statement declaring ‘.he
1
president wanted the bill passed by
September.
There was considerable confusion
in the administration ranks for a
while. Statements came thick and
fast. Speaker Longworth and Rep
resentative Tllson. of Connecticut , re
publican leader, delcaring against
any recess until farm relief Is en
acted and definite assurance given
for a final vote in the senate on the
tariff.
Senator Watson of Indiana, re
publican leader, who has been striv
ing to work out the agreement for
the vote in the senate on the tariff
measure, got busy. Then came the
White House statement backing up
the program of the senate leader for
the recess after a tariff vote agree
ment has been reached.

Map shows the 17 airports operating or planned in 10 metropolitan renters by the Curtiss airport
system. With the spread of airports and growth of air lines far-sighted citizens believe inland cities
eventually will receive sea-going planes.
By WILLIAM R. KUHNS
(Associated Press Feature Writer)
ST. LOUIS. May 30.—(JP)—Trans -
Atlantic and trans-Pacific air lines
are expected to bring radical
changes in the economic map of
the United States by making every
city a possible ocean port.
Experiments with gigantic sea
going planes, now being conducted
by P. \V. Chapman and company,
proprietors of the United States
Lines, are one phase of the trend
toward an era of salt water trans
portation in which cities of the
Great Lakes region, the Mississippi
valley or the wheat belt may chal
lenge New York and San Francisco
as seaports.
The swift development of a na
tionw ide system of airports and the i
prospect of bigger, faster and
safer craft has caused some far
sighted citizens of “inland seaports'*
to ask why a Chicago-London air
liner of the future, or one bound
from St. Louis to Paris, should
slow down for New York.
The middle west, they believe,
would be cnlv a few hours farther
i from London than New York is.
| and even San Francisco would rep
resent only an extra day's flying for
a trans-Atlantic air express.
Based on similar reasoning, hopes
have been raised that the perfec
tion of flying equipment enabling
longer, non-stop flights will bring
South America. Hawaii and even
the Orient into direct touch with
Interior cities.
Three recent developments are
considered specially significant: the
newly organized Curtiss Airports
corporation plans to build a chain
of large airports in 10 conven
iently located centers; P. W. Chap
man has disclosed definite plans to
link his trans-Atlantic liners with
the interior by airplane and to
launch a trans-oceanic air serlvce
at a later date: and an announce
ment by the department of com
merce that almost 1.000 cities have
built or made definite plans for
civil airports.
The ten great airport centers of
the Curtiss chain will be New
York, Chicago. Philadelphia, Balti
more. Louisville. Pittsburgh. Cleve
land. San Francisco. St. Louis and
