He got here at 7:57 a. m., Eastern Standard Time. Mattern swooped down on the muddy field out of a sky darkened by angry clouds, from which a pele sun peeped intermittently. He planned to remain in Moscow only two hours and said he would not leave the airport. Russian air officials routed him via Kazan, Sverdlovsk, Omsk, Novo- shabarovsk, vetoing the direct route via Irkutsk because of the absence of landing and fuel facilities in that area, When he arrived at Moscow Mat- tern was 51 hours and 37 minutes out of New York City. It took Post and Gatty 54 hours and 34 minutes to reach the Russian capital, so the American flier was almost exactly three hours ahead of the record holders. course in crossing the Atlantic ocean, the dauntless flier from San Angelo, Texas, fought his way through suc- cessfully to land safely on J omfru- 4 and Island, on Norway's south coast, d at 4:15 a. m., eastern standard time, Sunday. The first news that Oslo heard of the landing came when the lighthouse “keeper telephoned from his post on the island that Mattern had landed on the beach there and was safe. A private plane was sent there to give him any aid necessary and at 9 p. m., eastern standard time, Sunday, he hopped for the Norwegian capitol. Landing at the military aerodrome, he halted only briefly, and with his big tanks brimful with more than 700 gallons of gasoline, he was off toward the Russian metropolis at 12:40 a. m., eastern standard time. In Air 24 Hours ‘The airman, who is making an as* sault on the round-the-world record of 8 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes, set by Wiley Post and Harold Gatty two years ago, left Floyd Bennett field, New York, at 4:20 a. m., Sat- urday. He thus made the 3,600 miles between New York and the island on which he landed in just 5 minutes short of 24 hours. He is the first man to make a non- stop hop alone from New York to Norway. while at Oslo, said he had had noth- ing to eat and only a little water to drink during the long flight from New York to Newfoundland and “! thence across the Atlantic. ‘ He met fogs and storm on the way over and was 300 kilometers off his route when he reached Norway. “When I reached the west coast of Norway, I thought it was Scotland,” said Mattern. . “But finding later that it was Nor- way I followed the south coast in the hope of making Oslo, but I didn’t know just where that city was sit- uated. “Seeing what I thought was a sandy shore, I circled around and made a landing on @ stony beach. The land- ing was rather difficult, but I brought the machine to earth satisfactorily on @ little island inhabited by 20 per- sons.” After an hour's sleep, the airman attended to his plane, and flew off to Oslo. He landed at the military air- drome an hour later. After his papers had been e: he flew on towards Moscow. ‘MORE POWER TO HIM’ SAYS RECORD-HOLDER Oklahoma City, June 5—()—Wiley Post, whose globe-girdling flight Jimmie Mattern is attempting to eclipse, was relieved Monday to hear of Mattern’s safety. “I'm glad to hear he is safe,” said Post. “More power to him.” Five-Day Week Is Ordered for Navy ws , June 5.—(P}—Estab- lishment of the five-day week at all shore stations was ordered Monday by ite navy department, effective June The order applies to the civilian field service of the marine corps as well as the navy department. rormal work day be from Mon- day to Friday, inclusive.

Ton came here Saturday and imme- | diately began his investigation of the ; alleged violation of federal law, inter- viewing local postal officials and oth- ers who were connected with the fair. Ton was assigned to conduct the in- vestigation here by district officials at St. Paul, after R. E. Wenzel of, the state workmen’s compensation bureau, protested in a telegram to Postmaster General James A. Farley that the guards had interfered with a regis- tered mail package he dispatched to the secretary of state. Wenzel later sent a letter to Farley in which he made his formal protest Interviewed Wenzel Upon his arrival here Saturday fore- noon, Ton interviewed Wenzel. Mon- day morning he called on the secre- tary of state, Robert Byrne, and planned to make several other calls in his probe. The package Wenzel mailed con- tained petitions to refer the law giv- ing the governor authority to remove workmen's compensation commission- ers without cause. At the same time, attempts to deliver petitions for a ref- efendum of the sales tax law also. were | balked by national guardsmen. ‘The guardsmen were ordered to the office of the secretary of state, state treasurer and District Judge Fred Jansonius by Governor William Lan- ger, who said he had received letters threatening them as well as the state auditor and himself. Governor Langer had declared mar- tial law shortly before noon Thursday as a result of the strike on the new capitol building project. He denies he sought to prevent filing of the peti- tions. It was learned Ton obtained state- ments from Postmaster Walter Sath- ler, who unsuccessfully attempted to deliver a package of petitions to the secretary of state. Ton also obtained the names of the national guards- men who prevented delivery of the packages. Report to Garberg It is understood Ton will make his report to U. 8. District Attorney Peter B. Garberg at Fargo soon. Procedure would be for Garberg to determine, on the face of the report, whether any federal laws had been violated, and if this is found to be the case, to present the matter to a feder- al grand jury. The federal law on which the in- yestigaton is based, cannot be sus-' pended by a declaration of martial| Haw by a governor of a state. if The guards were withdrawn from the secretary of state's office short- ly after 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon, and the secretary of state then ac- cepted the petitions as filed. Text of Wenzel Letter The text of Wenzel's letter to Far- ley follows: “On June Ist I sent you a night let- ter, advising of the stoppage of U. S. Mail by the militia of the state, under the direction of the governor. In that telegram, however, I made the funny, if not humorous, inquiry whether you were selling first class special delivery postage under false pretenses. “The more one thinks back over the occurrences of the last few months, culminating in the drastic, ranted and unauthorized acts of the governor of June 1st, the more is one impressed with the fact that it is neither as funny nor as humorous as we tried to make believe it was. “We just don’t know what is going to happen here. It may be even more essential in the very near future to have free access to the United States | mail and the delivery thereof, hence, I am following up the night letter of June ist with this second request—in very serious mood—as to what the government of these, OUR, United States intends to do about the June 1st assault upon the postal depart- ment, and just what assurances we may have concerning the free dis- patch of mail in the future. “North Dakotans, as a rule, are not “wild jackasses.” They are peaceful and peace-minded people. They have one grave fault, and that is to listen to all of the propagandists that come along, whether from some corner grocery, or from Seattle, New York, or New Zealand. Some are becoming very much worried, however, over the type of mentality they have permitted to get a strangle hold upon their own actions.

Points to Publication Law Members of the committee said Davis raised the point that the law does not permit publication of income tax returns. 2 It was this question that the com- mittee decided to study. J. P. Morgan paid little attention to much of Van Sweringen’s exam- ination, although he had looked over the opening statement while it was being read. M. J. Sweringen sat near him, in the hot room jammed to the doors by spectators. Van Sweringen displayel a poor memory in recalling details of the 11916 transaction and Pecora showed some impatience.

Senator Harrison (Dem., Miss.) was called to the white house just before the finance committee met to vote on new levies to finance the public works program. Roosevelt Sunday night warned house leaders that if they accepted the senate increase in veterans’ ex- Penditures they must add new taxes to pay for the $170,000,000 cost. The presidential ultimatum appear- ed Monday to be slowing up the movement in congress that has upset the economy program and the indus- trial control proposal. Congressional leaders delayed con- sideration of the senate’s 25-per-cent limitation on veterans cuts until pub- lic sentiment on a new tax program could be determined. Roosevelt made it most emphatic he regarded a balanced government budget as the keystone to the return to prosperity. 1,300,000 Back At Work Lewis Douglas, director of the bud- get, told Sunday night's white house parley that 1,300,000 men had been put to work since March 4 and if this was to continue the government must be kept on a pay-as-you-go basis. House Would Refuse “Faced with the alternative of re- jecting the senate limitation or ap- Proving new taxes,” Speaker Rainey asserted, “‘the house right now would accept the limitation and refuse to levy taxes. “The situation thus is that we will delay action on the senate rider on the independent offices bill until the members have had time to hear from the people back home.” Consequently, Rainey said, Chair- man Buchanan of the appropriations committee will not call the independ- ent offices bill up on the floor until ‘Tuesday or later. Other Democratic leaders expressed belief it would not be brought up until possibly Thurs- day. Representative Snell of New York, the Republican leader, indicated that little help could be expected from his party in an effort to reject the sen- ate amendment. “Here we give the president the right to cut $400,000,000 off veterans and then make an outright gift of $50,000,000 to China to buy wheat and cotton. “Talk about needing new taxes to balance the budget. That's bunk. The budget isn’t balanced and won't be balanced with $170,000,000 in new taxes even if we accept the senate limitation.” No Caucus Planned There are no plans at present for a Democratic caucus, majority leaders said. As one of them put it: “If we get these revolters into a caucus, they'll bind us to worse things than we can imagine.” Rainey, like other leaders, conceded that these developments—resulting from Sunday night’s white house con- jty district court early next week, it ‘was announced Monday by State's At- torney George S. Register. The June jury term of court will open Tuesday. Register said that the order in which criminal cases will be tried re- mains indefinite, but that in all prob- ability the Gammons case will be the last of the several cases to come be- fore this term. Under present plans, the criminal calendar will be cleared before civil {action begins, Register said. Baty Case Is First j ‘The first case to be called probably {will be that of Ed. Baty, who faces ja statutory charge preferred by his | daughter. It is likely that the next case will find G.

Other criminal cases on the calen- dar list as defendants Royal Thomas, charged with larceny of livestock; A. J. Dinius, charged with driving an au- tomobile while intoxicated; Claude Martin and Russell Bryan, charged with operating taxis without licenses. ‘The calendar lists 69 civil actions. Following filing of three more com- plaints against him, Gammons Mon- day faced charges of embezzling a total of $1,639.53. File New Complaints In the original complaint, he was charged with embezzling $600. A- mounts alleged embezzled in thet hree new complaints were $600, $224.61 and $214.92. At an appearance Monday forenoon before Edward S. Allen, police magis- trate, Gammons waived examination on the new $600 charge but demanded preliminary hearings on the other two. | Magistrate Allen set the hearings on these counts for 2 p. m. Tuesday. With Gammons was his attorney, John F. Sullivan of Mandan. On the prosecution side were Attorney Gen- eral A. J. Gronna, Assistant Attorney Milton K.

President Roosevelt at Sea, June 5.—(/?)—The view that the Lon- don: economic conference offers a chance to cut “deadwood” from tariff hedges that encircle many countries was put forward Monday. As the vanguard of the United States delegation sped eastward, led by Secretary Cordell Hull, delegation quarters urged that tariff problems be approached with this understand- That the field offers a prospect of readjustments of mutual benefit with- out imposing corresponding sacrifices. Authorities asserted the attitude of “give and take” in tariff bargaining is exaggerated since much can be done with little giving. Delegation circles declared effective protection will be retained.

S. Market | | ROOSEVELT SPONSORS DEAL Lien on Tax Collections Will Re pay Advance in Three Years Under Plan Washington, June 5.—()—Under President Roosevelt's direction, the Reconstruction Corporation has ar- ranged a $50,000,000 loan for China, to buy American cotton and wheat, a significant step in the campaign for foreign farm markets. This deal was concluded in the re- cent personal conferences held by the President with Chinese Finance Min- ister T. V. Soong, one of the series of international exchanges preparatory to the London world economic con- ference. It was announced at midnight Sun- day night, Washington time. The loan will be secured directly by Chinese taxes. It has first call on revenues from roll tobacco, flour, cot- ton yarn, match, cement and other taxes on imports, which netted China $22,000,000 in 1932. Bearing five per cent interest, it is to be repaid in three years. It will make possible at present prices Chinese purchase of 900,000 bales of cotton and 12,500,000 bushels of wheat. That will put a big dent in the estimated cotton carryover this year of 13,000,000 bales but will be less vital in wheat reduction, since the United States carryover is now figured here at 363,000,000 bushels, more than half of the world carry- over. Administrators of the new farm act showed belief that this outlet for surplus would not be sufficient to avoid levying processing taxes to fi- nance a general program of acreage reduction. The cotton and wheat will be moved mostly in American ships, with China paying the freight. Both commodit- ies are to be purchased in the open market over the next six months. The bulk of the wheat is to be mille ed before shipment. The cotton, on the other hand is to move unprocess- TW-MLE GALE AND ' STORM CAUSE. ONE DAT AT CHCA 60,000 Scurry to Cover At Big Exposition; Tower Sway Frightens Many Chicago, June 5.—(}—A 70-mile gale and rain storm that caused one death here and injuries to a score of other persons and property damage amounting to thousands of dollars in Chicago and other Illinois cities was followed Monday by relief from the highest temperatures of the year. The storm struck with sudden fury Sunday night and sent almost 60,00¢ scurrying for cover at the Century ot Progress exposition where 15 of the injured were given medical attention at the hospital on the grounds. Swaying of one of the 625-foot towers of the sky ride at the fair caused 185 persons on the top plat- forms to become confused despite at- tempts of attendants to quiet them by turning on radio music while ele- vators raced them to the ground. Harold Barkstrom, a guard and former aviator, said the slender steel tower, built to resist a 120-mile gale, swayed 18 inches. Damage at the grounds was estimated by officials at between $7,000 and $8,000. The one casualty of the storm was Albert Linnard, 19, fatally injured when struck by a piece of the roof blown from a factory building. TORNADO IS FATAL TO SOUTH DAKOTAN Wilmot, 8.
