It is announced that experi- mental flights over this route will be made in 1929, and that regular service—which may be the first commercial trans-Atlantic air ser- vice for passengers—will be estab- lished in 1930. The dangers of the proximity of the east coast of Brazil to Europe were frankly admitted in a recent statement by Julius Klein, director of the United States Bureau of For- eign and Domestic Commerce in Washington. Coincident with Hoov- er’s visit to Brazil, Klein, the offi- cial propagandist for American commerce, published a statement in- dicatirg the extent of Brazilian na- tural resources and their importance to Amoricen enpitel.

J, Jan, 3— Thomas J. Mooney, chief engineer | on section two of the Dover-Jersey | City sewer, was the first witness called today before the Case Legis- lative Investigating Committee, which is hesitatingly looking into | all political corruption in Hudson | county that is too well known to be overlooked. The sewer cost $2,000,000 but | never was put in operation. Mooney | testified that the Alberta Construc- | tion Company, of Jersey City, | which had the contract for section | two of the sewer, was paid $89,000 more than the engineers’ estimate. Clyde G. Potts, chief engineer for the sewer work, said he had signed the monthly estimates for section three of the sewer, but le hed destroyed his calculations in director is Richard B. Mellon,) brother of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon arriving at the estimates because “he thought them of no impor- tance.” bg ADMISSION: $1.00; $1.50; $2.00; $2.50. 26 Union Square, New York City.
