It Fequires a two-thirds vote fo shut off debate and put a bill upon its passuge, and the Democrats can at Bny time master more than the neces- gary one-third votes to block cloture on the measure which Is anathema to them. Unless direct pressure should be applied from the White House, Re- yublican Senators will not dare to cep the anti-lynching bill up for ection. No such pressure is likely, for Mr. Coolidge is anxlous to get Congress off his hands at as early s possible—the sooner the and he knows full well that nching bill would mean indefi- ite delay. Tmpresslon of Visitor. Inasmuch as it is the open season for psychoanalyzing the President, the impression he made upon & visitor to the White Houso is irter- esting. This visitor, a thorough stu- dent of character, got perhaps & Dew “It seems to me,” he said to the writer, “that the important thing . Coolidge is that he knows n number.

WOOD. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. MOSCOW, “February _26.—Around the world in 20 days is the ambitious record which two adventurous Ameri- cans, Edwards B sr., Detroit capltalist and sportsman, and Linton Wells, well known newspaper man, navigator and soldler of fortune, aro planning. The frantic dash is sched- uled for next Summer. Wells, accompanied by Evans, jr., is here conferring with Soviet government officlals, seeking co-operation for the vital stretch of the world race across the larger portion of Europe and Asia. Soviet officials have been fired with the same enthusiasm for the venture that is reported in other countries where ar- rangements alrea ve been made. Next Summer: ce will be the first of its kind since airplanes became a popular means of transportation. The present world-girdling record of 35 days, 11 hours and 42 minutes was made in 1911 by John Mears of the New York Sun. This year's racers are planning to $80,011,631 SUPPLY BILL IS REPORTED BY SUBCOMMITTEE (Continued from First Page.)_ Edwardy of customs statistics from New York to Washington in the interest of ef- ficlency. In view of this, therefore, the committee has removed the limita- tion of the amount to be expended for salarfes in the District of Columbia. $1,890,385 for Standards. ‘The estimate of $1,890.385 has been recommended by the committee for the Bureau of Standards for the fiscal year 1927, which is an increase of $47,560 over 1926, which has been dis- tributed among the various projects of the bureau, the largest being $20,000 for the testing of clay products. The amount for the Coast and Geo- detic Survey for the fiscal year 1927 Is practically the same as the current appropriation, a difference of only $4.020, which' represents an increase, The total recommended is $2,331,670. By executive order the Patent Office was transferred on July 1, 1925, from the Interior Department to to the Department of Commerce. The total recommended for the Pat- ent Office for 1927 is 722,300, a de- crease under the current yea $79,900 and an increase of over the estimates s budget. For the current year there is an appropriation of $191,000 for salaries and expenses of employes to bring current arrearages of work, which covered the services of 100 additional examiners. This porary appropriation was eliminated in the estimates. During the hearings the committee was in- formed that resignations were oc- curring at the rate of from 8 to 10 tem- wholly use the Empress of Russia in cross- ing the Pacific and the Mauretania in crossing the Atlantic, the same ships used by Mears in his record-making dash. Afrplanes will be used over most of the land route. Tentative plans for the race call for a start from New York in June or July, whence the racers will fly to Seattle or Victoria, British Columbia. They figure 30 hours for this flight, 8 days to cross_the Pacific, 20 hours trom Japan to Vladivostok, Viadivos- tok to Moscow 4 days, Moscow to Lon- don 30 hours and London to New York 6 days. That'is a total of 21 days and 8 hours, with a sporting chance of re- ducing the time to 20 days flat. The Russian leg of the race will efther make or loge the record. Hith- erto the two continents have always been crossed by train. With Soviet development of the air service, it now is possible to fly from Viadi- vostok to Moscow by combing special planes with the regular Peking-Mos- cow service via Irkutsk, which starts this Spring. (Copyright, 1026, by Chicazo Dally News Co.) a month from the regular roll, and that as these temporary employes were somewhat experienced, they were being transferred from the temporary to the regular roll to fill these vacancies. These temporary employes are being absorbed to such an extent that on June 30, 1926, at which time the appropriation for this roll will have been exhausted, there will be only about 40 left. By that time the temporary em- ployes remaining will have had about a year and a half “training, and if these are lost to the bureau by lack of appropriation future vacancles occur- ring on the regula:r roll will have to be filled by untrained employes. The committee, therefore, has recommend- ed an amount of $25,000 to permit the bureau to keep the temporary em- ployes on the roll until they are ab- sorbed in the permanent force due to resignations, with the suggestion that this amount not be apportioned s0 as to be avallable for so many em- ployes for the whole of the next fiscal year, but to be expended so as to keep employed the maximum number of the temporary employes until such time as they are absorbed {n the regular organization. The committee's recommendations for the Bureau of Mines total $1,774,- 340, an Increase of $43,380 over the amount under which the bursau is operating at the present time, and & reduction of $755,000 from the esti- mates submitted. This reduction has » |been brought about by certaln recom- mendations of the committee with reference to the production and inves- tigation of helium. Otherwise the amounts for the different projects ot the bureau remain substantially the same as for the current year.
