(C. 8. T.) today. At 2:17 . Plane and pilots, Dale (Red) kson and Forest O'Brine, had been up 271 hours and had added more than 25 hours to the record. ‘The pilots of the world’s endurance plane, the St. Louis Robin, entered the realm of high finance as well as at- mosphere yesterday at 3:01 p. central standard time. It is worth exactly $1324 to cach flyer to stay aloft for periods of 24 hours. ‘With the establishment of the new mark, the offer of the Curtiss-Ro- bertson pany, sponsors of the flight, of $100 an hour went into ef- fect. Two St. Louis firms each added $100 a day and the St. Louis Munici- pal opera is giving each flyer $1 an hour. In addition the Chamber of Commerce is raising a jackpot and Kknick-knacks such as radios and watches are to be given the airmen. Motor Trouble Passes The flyers, who spent their eleventh night in the air, were looking forward to the end of the flight only when the new aircooled six-cylinder radial Curtiss-Challenger motor “ran out.” ‘Their first motor trouble came sho! ly before the “Angeleno’s record of 246 hours 43 minutes and 32 seconds was equaled when oil sprayed over the cabin windows. However, in later notes no mention was made of the trouble and the pair who refueled the Plane with 115 gallons of gas last night said there was no appearance of oll'on the windows. Jackson received orders from Mrs. Jackson yesterday to learn to play a ukulele while on the flight, saying she wouldn't allow him to come down un- til he had mastered the instrument “and that will keep you up there quite awhile.” - Parents Are Present O'Brine’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel O'Brine and his sister, Ruby, arrived from their Cedar Rapids, Towa, home yesterday while Jackson's Parents, his brother and sister were on their way from Faribault, Minn. This will complete the family circles as the wives of the flyers have been at the field during the flight, Mrs. O'Brine acting as dietitian. Congratulatory messages came in steady streams including one from a proud parent who said their son had been named for Dale Jackson. It was the fifth time this year the refueling mark- had been exceeded, first by the Question Mark at Los Angeles in 150 hours 40 minutes; next by James Kelly and Reginald Robbins at Fort Worth with 172 hours 32 min- utes, then the City of Cleveland with 174 hours 1 minute at Cleveland and the Angeleno.

Whether he is considering such a course has not been disclosed by the senator. It is recalled, however, that he proposed, shortly before the sen- ate recessed, that the finance com- mittee be limited to agricultural and related products in proposing rate advances. Expresses His Stand His only comment when ‘asked about the distribution of his views by the Democratic organization was that they had frequently been ex- pressed by him and were public prop- erty, and that “if the Democratic na- tional committee distributes them, that is its business.” He is quoted in the Democratic statement as declaring that the flex- ible provision in the house bill “is in utter violation of the constitution” and saw “the story of the flexible tariff” as an “illustration of the growth of bureaucracy.” Powers Increase “Congress started out,” the quota- tion continues, “by authorizing the President, upon the ascertainment of a simple fact—to wit, the passage of a law in a foreign country—to put into effect certain rates. Congress next authorized the president, with the aid of the tariff: commission, to ascertain the cost of production at home and abroad. Now in this bill they propose that he shall ascertain the difference in competitive condi- tions at home and abroad. “In other words, we are now dele- gating the full taxing power to the executive.” Republicans of the finance commit- tee, working without the restrictions which Senator Borah advocated, are engaged behind closed doors on the task of rewriting the house bill. In- dications have been numerous that they would propose a number of changes in the measure, but their at- titude toward the flexible provision has not been defined.
