4 u North Dakota's Oldest Newspaper ESTABLISHED 1873 NATIVE LUTHUANIA MINUS PERMISSION Stephen Darius and Stanley Girenas May Get ‘Spank- ing’ in Europe ARE RESIDENTS OF CHICAGO Fail to Inform Officials At Floyd Bennett Field Regarding Takeoff New York, July 15.—(?)—The mon- oplane Lithuanica took off on a pro- Jected 4,900-mile non-stop flight to Lithuania Saturday, without ap- proval of the American government and with prospect of the two pilots subjecting themselves to a “spank- ing” if they should land in any ' country short of their goal. The plane, which left Floyd Ben- nett field at 5:24 a. m. (E.8.T.), was flown by Stephen Darius and Stan- ley Girenas, Lithuanian-Americans from Chicago. . ‘They took off just an hour and 14 minutes after Wiley Post had begun his solo world flight from the same field. A plane believed to be the Lith- uanica passed over Clarenville, Trin- ity Bay, New Foundland, at 1:45 p. m. (e. s. t.). Darius and Girenas have been in \, altercation with official Washington ‘ about permits to fly over countries between America and Lithuania and left without obtaining these permits. The argument had centered about the question of who should pay $100 for cost of cables to the countries in question. Didn't Inform Officials ‘The fiers took off without inform- ing field officials of their intention and a commerce department official in Washington said when informed of their action that if they should land in same country on their route it would not only be embarrassing to the American government but also would make the fliers subject to a “spanking” by that country. - The big orange and silver Bellanca *: monoplane was loaded to capacity with 179 gallons of » 135 of. which were in five-gallon cans, and 35 gallons of oil. The tliers did not sign the register ‘t the field, and Maj. J. Nelson, man- ager of the field, was not informed * that they were hopping the Atlantic. Field officials say they are subject to a heavy fine and loss of license lf they do not return Saturday to Floyd Bennett field and, further- more, are subject to arrest in any foreign country in which they land, since they have no passports. The ship had no wireless and the fliers carried no parachutes. For food they took 18 oranges, 12 apples, two bottles of malted milk tablets, a quart of black coffee, a roast chicken, and a gallon of wa- ter. Natives of Lithuania Captain Darius was born in Tau- rege, Lithuania, and was brought to the United States when 10 years old. His mother is Mrs. Augustine Degu- tis of Chicago. He is veteran. Entering the air corps of Lithuania in 1921 he rose to the rank of cal tain. Returning to the United States he opened in 1928 an aviation school at South Bend, Ind. The Lithuanica is the plane he flew during 1929, 1930 and 1931 for the Chicago Daily News. Aided by subscriptions from many Lithuanian- « Americans, he bought it from the News and rechristened it. Girenas, who like his partner is unmarried, is an orphan whose home is Chicago. He was born in Upina, Lithuania, came to the United States when seven, and went to work in Chicago when he finished grammar school. He is a war veteran and operated an aviation school in Chi- cago until 1931. Montana Pair Escapes Drowning in Gasoline Dickinson, N. D., July 15.—(P)— Trapped.in the cab when their. truck overturned at a corner outside of Gladstone early Friday morning, Mr. «and Mrs. Leon Brown of Circle, Mont., escaped drowning in gasoline escaping from the truck tank, containing 2,000 gallons. Theye were traveling to Circle from Chicago, with Brown driving, and got off Highway No. 10 by mistake and took the road leading into Gladstone. The truck swerved into the ditch at @ corner leading into town, over- turning and jamming the doors, mak- ing escape impossible. Mrs. Brown was pinned to the ground with gas- oline six inches deep around her. Gladstone residents nearby were awakened by the sound of the motor horn. The Browns sustained cuts and y bruises. Balbo and Armada Fly Over Detroit Detroit, July 15—(?)—The lead- tng planes of the Italian aerial ar- mada, en route from Orbitello, Italy, to Chicago, arrived over Detroit at 8:15 p. m. (E.S.T.) Saturday. So rapid was the approach of the Italian fliers after they entered the United States at Port Huron that a group of 43 fast army planes from Selfridge field could not get off the 8round before the visitors had passed the army air field and continued on their way south. The Selfridge group of 43 planes got into the air shortly, however, and trailed the Italian planes ecross De- trpit by about three minutes. 4 a World war| bor.

In that address the executive asserted that there was not one scintilla of evidence to justify the removal of Soder and his col- leagues and praised Soder highly, in-} dicating his regret that he had acted hastily in removing him from office pending the hearing. A review of the testimony in the; case, as contained in the formal rec- ord filed with the governor, shows that E. J. Conrad, dissatisfied with an action of the commissioners on a printing contract, threatened to have them removed from office unless they followed his orders. The three commissioners declined to do so but asked an opinion of State's Attorney George 8. Register, who advised them what to do, and they foliowed his. advice, holding up action under the challenged contract until its legality could be determined. Before Register could render an opinion the removal proceedings were instituted and the three commission- | ers whom Conred had threatened were removed. | As a result, the legality of the ac- tion complained of was never deter- mined. Successors of the three com- missioners voided the contract and supplies. When these were re- ceived Conrad again was an unsuc- | cessful bidder, the work going to The Tribune.

Captain Goes Under With Sinking Ship; 34 Rescued Tanker Cities Service Petrol Catches Fire Off Wil- mington, N. C. L. Sears went down with his burning ship, the tanker Cities Service Petrol, in the Atlantic off Wilmington, N. C., Friday night, while two other Amer- May Delivery Closes At $1.221/2 | ican merchant ships stood by and rescued 34 members of the crew. Two other men went down with Captain Sears. They were reported killed aboard before the ship sank. The rescue ships were the tanker Gulf Gem and the steamer Tri- Mountain. The Gulf Gem saved 24 memters of the Petrol crew and the Tri-Mountain 10. Immediately after the Petrol sank, enveloped in flames with Captain Sears alive and at his post, the Gulf Gem turned off her course to put in with the survivors, some of whom were injured, at Charleston, 8. C. It was presumed the Tri-Mountain ac- companied her. Wireless reports received by the Radio Marine corporation painted the outlines of the grim sea pictére in sketchy details. The Gulf Gem messaged: “Burning tanker Cities Service Pe- trol sank stern first at 11:30 p, m. just after eight men were taken off in heavy sea by boat crew of Gulf Gem. “Captain refused to leave his burn- ing ship and two other men were killed aboard.” First word came at 10 p. m. (ES.T.) from the Gulf Gem, who reported she was standing by a burning ship, together with the Tri-Mountain. It was considered likely the flames had summoned them. Messages indicated that the Petrol had been able to launch only two of her lifeboats, for the Tri-Moun- tain reported picking up one boat and rescuing 10 men, and the Gulf Gem saved another with 16 aboard. Rescue of the eight other survivors was accomplished by a lifeboat from the Gulf Gem, which fought the heavy sea to remove the men who had gone forward to the bow of the sinking ship to escape the flames: which swept her hull. Miller Appointed to Identification Post Appointment of State Senator Charles A. Miller of the McIntosh- Logan district to be assistant super- intendent «° identification was an- nounced Saturday by Warden C. Turner of the state penitentiary. Miller, who has been ill in the hos- pital here for several weeks and who was discharged only Friday, will not begin work at once, Turner said. In- stead he has gone home to recuperate for a few weeks before reporting for duty. He lives at Gackle. Miller is a veteran legislator, having served several terms in the house be- fore being elected to the senate in 1930 and serving in the upper branch of the levislature during the last two sessions.

(E. 8.T.) Saturday and headed out over the Atlantic ocean on his attempt te fly alone around the world. He was flying the white and purple Lockheed monoplane, Winnie Mae, in which he and Harold Gatty made their ‘round-the-world record of eight days, 15 hours, 51 minutes in 1931 This time, he hopes to do it faster. “I'll be back as quick as possible,” he shouted. Only two bad spots of weather wer reported ahead of him on the first leg of his trip, the 3,900 miles to Berlin. There was a low pressure area off the Atlantic coast near New York, which he intended to fly around, and rain off the coast of Ireland, which he Plans to fly through. Ran Length of Runway The heavily-loaded Winnie Mae rav the length of the runway before she got into the air. Post bounced the ship once trying to get it off the ground, but when it finally did rise he gained altitude rapidly and head- ed straight into a clear red sunrise. He expected the Winnie Mae’s cruis- ing speed of 170 miles an hour to be increased at least 25 miles by a strong supporting west wind. The airplane has a top speed of 210 miles an hour. At 1:10 p. m. (ES.T.) Post passed over Torbay, Newfoundland, and con- tinued seaward on his flight toward Europe. Although Post flies alone, he will have the aid of a robot assistant pilot, @ mechanical apparatus designed to F.jkeep the plane on its course and maintain its altitude and lateral stew bility without human aid. Post says it will permit him to doze when flye ing a straight course at high altie tudes. An additional aid will be the secret new radio compass installed by the U. 8. Army at Wright Field, Days ton, O. Equipment Is Elaborate The flier carries probably the most elaborate equipment ever to be placed aboard an airplane.

SPECIAL SESSION OF §,D, SOLONS CALLED Legislature Will Meet July 34 to Consider Legaliza- tion of Beer Pierre, 8. D., July 15.—(P)—A spe- cial session of the South Dakota leg- islature was called Saturday by Gov- ernor Tom Berry for July 31 to con- sider legalization of beer. Berry gave no indication that he C.| would propose any legislation except @ measur? to legalize sale of 3.2 per cent beer in South Dakota. In a let- ter to legislators recently, he suggested this means of raising revenue to meet relief needs resulting from drought and grasshopper dan.age. Under the state constitution the ex- ecutive has no power to limit legis- lative actior once the lawmakers are in session. Rumors of agitation for repeal for the administration spon- sored gross incom~ tax have reached the governor, but his supporters are confident that any such action can be blocked.
