EYING VIKING
RADIO SPEAKER
Will Celebrate Anniversary
Of First ’Round-the
World Flight
NEW YORK, Sept. 3 —The fifth
anniversary of man’s first flight
around the world will be celebrated
tonight as a feature of the "Roads
of the Sky'" aviation radio series
sponsored Jointly by the National
Broadcasting company and the
Aeronautical Chamber of Com
merce. Erik Nelson, the "‘Flying
Viking" who led the American world
fliers, will be the speaker on the
coast-to-coast hookup.
"'Around the World in Aviation"
is the subject of the famous world
flier's talk, which will be broadcast
between 7 and 7:30 o'clock (East
ern daylight time) as’ the tenth
program on the "Road of the Sky"
series devoted to aviation. He will
contrast the present development of
aviation throughout the wor'd with
the pioneer conditions he saw on
his world tour five years ago.
Piloted “New Orleans"
As trie runaway Swedish boy who
winged his way to immortal fame
by being one of the four men pver
to fly around the world. Lieut. Nel
son is known the world over as the
"Flying Viking." He piloted the
"New Orleans," one of the two army
planes which completed the 36.345
mile flight around the world In a j
total flying time of 363 hours Just ;
five years ago this month.
He will arrive in New York today j
after a flight from Seattle, Wash.,
in a new 18 passenger air liner to I
deliver his talk from WEAK. New I
York, over the NBC hookup, lie is I
sales manager of the Boeing Air- j
plane company.
A native of Stockholm. Nelson, as
a youngster, took night courses in a
technical institute where he learn
ed the rudiments of mechanics.
After completing school Erik spent
a summer as a sailor on a Swedish
training ship. At sixteen the lure
of the sea became resistless and he.
like his ancestors.' went cut across
the w’orld.
As a full fledged sailor before the
mast In the old style schooners, the
youth caught his first glimpse of
the United States. Later he made
two trips ground the world beiore
the mast on an English schooner.
Hearing that sailors were well paid
for working on racing yments in ;
America, Nelson, when 21. arrived
at Hoboken and got a Job as a rig
ger in the shipyards at Greenwich, j
Conn.
Unemployment followed, and Nel
son did odd jobs ranging from be- j
ing a swimming instructor to act- ,
ing a Roman Centurian with a j
shining helmet, as stage scenery in
a Salome production. All of his I
dreams were of the day when he j
would be a flier. When the war j
started Nelson was all set to enlist j
in the Esquadrill Lafayette, but ;
failed to be chosen, and went to I
work for an airplane company in }
Buffalo. By then he was a recog- .
nized expert in building and testing |
engines.
Nelson next sought to enlist in j
the United States air service, but
was rejected, although later he was '
to carry the colors of the United !
States air corps around the world. 1
After failing to get into the Cana- I
dian and British royal air forces
he attempted again to enter the
American air service, and -was fin
ally accepted and became a bomb
ing pilot in Texas.
In 1920 Nelson was chief engi
neering officer of the difficult New
York to Nome and return flight, for
which Nelson recently was given the
distinguished service medal. Nelson

great Atlantic to Arctic flight with
out a single failure.

REPORT GIVES
TARIFF CHANGE
Says Proposed Ad Valorem
Method Would Reduce In
ternational Problems
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3—(v¥»>—
Detailed explanations of changes
made in the house tariff bill by
republican members of the senate
finance committee were set forth
In a tentative report issued today
by the committee majority.
Filling eighty printed pager, the
document advocated the proposed
substitution of domestic for foreign
values in the computation of ad
valorem duties, asserted that the
measure would raise the level of
protection on agricultural com
modities by eleven per cent and,
going through the bill by individ
ual schedules, gave the committee
majority’s reasons for the rates it
has agreed upon.
Increased Protection
Elimination of all international i
difficulties in the administration of
the tariff law was predicted as a
result of adopting the proposed
method of levying ad valorem du
ties. All necessary investigations,
the report said, would be made
within the United States, thus
avoiding inquiries in other countries
with their difficulties and occa
sional international disagreements.
Going on to agricultural com
modities, the report said changes
in this schedule, as compared with
the house bill, were the result of
additional evidence adduecd at sub
committee hearings, and consist
principally of ’ adjutments.” Sub
stantially. the report added, the
committee had agreed to “the con
siderable increases in rates on agri
cultural products provided by the
house bill." entailing an estimated
increase of $25,000,000 in revenue
from this schedule and raising the
percentage of projection from 23
under the present h*w to 34 under
the proposed legi lat ion.
Sugar & hedules
The most lmpoitant change in
the sugar schedules was asserted to
be that reducing the rate on Cuban
sugar from 2 40 cents per pound
figure proposed by the house to
2.20 cents. "The rates on all items
in this schedule." the report said,
"have received careful considera
tion and the changes made have
been made with the interests of the
consumers, producers, importers
and manufacturers in mind.”
In anticipation of the necessary
formal action of ti e full commit
tee. which must bo taken before
the bill is reported, the document
in its preface said the committee
on finance “reports favorably** on
the house measure with amend-1
ments and “recommends that the l
bill do pass."
