French Believe DO-X Will Not Try Ocean Bordeaux, France, Nov. 17.(P)— The feeling grows here that the flight of the DO-X, giant German seaplane, across the Atlantic to New York will not take place until next spring. In aviation circles it is declared that the motors of the plane have not functioned as well as had been hoped. The ship's crew are too well aware of the growing unsatisfactory weather conditions from this season on to risk ‘such @ hazardous trip when the short flight from Calshot to Bordeaux was not accomplished without mishap. It is pointed out that, although the ship was designed to fly 125-miles per hour, it has not yet averaged 100, Dr. Claude Dornier, designer and builder of the craft, insists the flight has not been abandoned but that a definite décision will be made at Lis- bon, Portugal, from where the plane has intended to take off for Horta, j Azores, first stop on the projected transatlantic flight. The plane will leave here tomorrow for Corunna, Spain.

In fact, a belief has been spreading here that the principal rec- ommendations of the group will deal with changes to strengthen the exist- ing system, Another development concerning men who have figured repeatedly in the dry-wet dispute occurred yesterday with a demand by Representative Tinkham, Republican, Massachusetts, that Attorney General Mitchell place before a federal grand jury his charges against Bishop James Can- non, Jr., of violating the corrupt practices act. The Tinkham accusations, repeat- edly made, were based on the failure of the Southern Methodist and pro- hibition leader to report to the house parts of contributions received for his Virginia anti-Smith campaign in 1928. Bishop Cannon is in a hospital here, suffering from a severe attack of arthritis, Beck in setting forth his proposal, expressed belief the seventy-second congress would be much more closely divided on prohibition than indi- cated by the election returns. The attempt at Volstead law repeal should be made when the congress meets next year, he said, and if it failed he urged an effort to withhold appro- priations for enforcement.

Chicago’s Homeless Build Strange City of Brick, Tin, Stone and Junk Chicago, Nov. 17—()—Sharp winds foretelling winter's rapid approach today found many of the Chicago's homeless and hungry secure in shelters they have built amid a mass of brick, stone and junk. A block square in Canal street, just west. of and in sharp contrast to Chicago's towering Loop sky- scrapers of steel and concrete, is ‘the “city of the homeless,” where color and creed mean nothing and Here—in, over, under and be- tween the mass of broken brick, stone, cement block, tin, junk, boards and dirt — at least four- score of the city’s unemployed have constructed “model” hovels for winter hibernation. This small group, those who want to work and can’t, and a greater number who habitually avoid any form of remunerative exercise, have built a city that reflects more than appearance of ruined Pompeii than structural Chicago. Homeless men, and hungry too —three times a day—the Canal street clan exemplifies one mi- nority of a mass of 115,000 regis- tered, and many more, unem- ployed. The home-made huts represent almost the primitive in architec- tural design. The materials— principally brick and tin—are more modern but they have been Clinton and Polk streets. Some have been erected with particular care. The crevices are filled with mud and rags and dirt. Inside may be a strip of discarded carpet spread on brick or bare earth. Every hut has its stove; each original enough to patent. Here every man is a king every day.

Army Appropriations Will Be Used at Once Washington, Nov. 17.—(?)—Imme- diate release of all available appropri- ations to speed rivers and harbors, flood control and army construction during the winter was announced to- day by Secretary Hurley. ‘The war secretary ordered the ap- propriations made available through February, instead of spreading them over the fiscal year, in order to pro- vide added employment. The funds available were estimated between $20,000,000 and $25,000,000. Congress may be asked for a de- ficiency appropriation of $22,000,000 to push the projects still further in the spring. The secretary said the amount of deficiency appropriations for which congress might be asked would de- pend upon the extent to which such funds could be judiciously expended. The present funds will be made available especially in points where unemployment is most severe. The Mississippi and Missouri rivers are expected to receive a large part of the expedited work.

Returning to the capital yesterday, the Idaho senator used the term “su- Perlative impudence” in discussing implications he saw in the adminis- tration quest for assurances from leaders of both Republicans and Dem- ocrats in congress against a filibuster to force an extra session in the spring. “I fiave not heard of any such threats from the Democrats, neither have I heard any such threats from the progressives,” he said. “I think it an exhibition of superlative im- pudence to be stating in effect that the progressives or the Democrats have not just as keen a sense of re- sponsibility and quite as intelligent peerenen of their duty as the regu- lars.” He added he never had filibustered and did not intend doing so now, but did not propose “to be stampeded out of giving proper and necessary con- sideration to appropriation bills and such other important legislation as we know is now pending.” “I will pay no attention to any cooked - -up effort to stampede the congress,” he concluded. His statement immediately was in- terpreted here as a sign the Inde- Pendents will demand full considera- tion for their favored measures. Among them is the Norris resolution for government operation of Muscle Shoals. Also there has been talk of reviving the export debenture and equalization fee plans of farm relief, which have been fought by the administration.

Fourteen years of intense tournament play in this country and abroad had given me about all I wanted in the way of hard work in the game. I had reached a point where I felt my profession required more of my time and effort, leaving golf in its proper place, a means of obtaining recreation and enjoyment. “My intention at the time was to make no announcement of retirement, but merely to drop out quietly by neglecting to send in my entry to the open championship next spring. There was at that time no reason to make a definite statement of any kind but since then, after careful con- sideration, I have decided upon a step which I think ought to be e: to the golfers of this country in order that they may have a clear under- standing of what the thing ts dnd why it is being done.” Missouri Marshal Dies in Gun-Fight Kirksville, Mo., Nov. 17.—?)—John Rose, 65, was killed and another night marshal, George Scrivens, 45, was shot twice in a gun battle with a man they attempted to search early today.
