The Fascist government and Ku Klux Klan are arraigned as inimical to the mission endeavor in a prepared for presentation to Assembly- of the United Preshyterian Church of | North America, made public today. The report, coming from the Home Missions Board, will be formally laid before the assembly, now at Wallace Memorial next w movement Catholic testant ch, early the Fas supportin propaganda Ttalian missions thereby increasing the d Home Missions Board in evangel foreig This is_particularly in the case of the Ita .

It emphasized the necessity of educat- ing negros toward leadership in their own race and declared that “the mar velous progress of the negro in three. score vears, coming out of slavery, handicapped by ignorance, superstition and destitution, is accounted for onl by what the church has done in offe: ing Christian education so gene! to the entire race.” The report pointed to the increasing facilitie: for negro edycation in Southern States .and declared that *the ex- . panding demands of the negro race point the way of the church’'s duty to that race.” Federation of Boards. ‘The special committee, appointed by the assembly to study the question of the federation of the principal boards of the church, namely, Freedmen's Board, Home Missionary Board and the Foreign Missionary Board, vester- day afternoon submitted a report ad- vocating the repeal of legislation which had federated the hoards. If this.line of action is followed by the assembly, it will leave the main boards of the United Presbyterian Church Without representation in the general board at Pittsburgh. The opinion of the finance committee on the same question remained at variance with the findings of the “‘spe- cial committee,” and urged greater federation and compactness in_ the cause of economy. Churchmen, how- ever, stated that in view of the enor- mous number of trust funds, benevo- lences and other financial items which ‘would be involved by the consolidation of the various boards, the activities of the General Council, or Federation of Boards, would be vastly increased. Controversy Over Hymns. The controversy which threatened yesterday relating to' the addition of l1)20 nymgls to the psalter, which would a radical .in_the-tradition of the l'nilej%’fi?&firh’?\i was re- ferred to the judiciary committee. The United Presbyterian Church has, since its inception, maintained that the inspired poetry of the Bible should be the basis of the religious devotion, and the departure from this tradition, it is predicted, will arouse great discussion when the final report of the judiciary commiftee is entered. Several synods from India and the United States have strenuously op- posed this course of action, although a g‘ulter-hymnal was ordered prepared y the 1926 assembly, which contain- ed hymns of praise. Report on Social Service, The special report of the commit- tee on social service last night, Which touched in part on the prohi- bition question, was especially stren- uous in its condemnation of the prev- ‘alent spirit of lawlessness among the youth of our land,” and declared that “moral and religious training are the only antidotes.” The report also expressed deep concern over the “activities to repeal and nullif; our Sa:halh law, which is slowly rought about by allowin, :gn%gemenls and sporting contests on Sunday.” The findings of this committee also criticized portions of the press for its part in the general inefficiency of prohibition enforcement and went on to say “that public attention should be called to the flood of unreliable propaganda which is being given out to the country to break dosvit the prohibition cause.” panacea advocated by the committee was set forth in the report and called for “total ahstinence.” Memorials were read from the In- dian’ synod of the Punjab yesterday and from many American synods, re- questing an appeal from the act of the general assembly of 1926, which united the hymnal and psalter and added h¥mns of praise. The protesting Pres. byterians are desirous of having the general assembly instruect the board of publication to publish a psalter- hymnal, excluding 150 hymn: i songs and pravers, vastly decreasing the scope of the hymnal-psalter, It Wag predicted that the decision of the assembly of last year will be sus- tained. Controversy Is Aroused. Controversy was aroused yester. the introduction of memorials assembly to reorganize the ral Council of the United Presby- terian Church, which is located in Pittsburgh. - Beveral synods are advocating the clusion of the principal hoards of the church from the council, which will deprive them of any voice in the actions of the council r cial expenditures, The boards which are affected, if the action is taken by the assembly, are the Board of Publi- cation, the Board of Ministerial R the Church Extension Board, the Freed- men’s Mission Board and the Missions Board. 1t is also lik action will he taken by the General ‘Assembly which will result in the rev. ocation of the charters of these boards, which will automatically de- prive them of their representation in the General Council. Election of Moderator. Dr. M. G. Kyle, president of the Zenia Theological Seminary of Louis, was elected moderator of the sembly at the open session Wednesd night and Dr. D, F. McGill, who h: been chief clerk of the assembly for 25 years, was re-elected to that po- sition.

Burgess, director of the Burean of Standards, was re- elected president of the National Con- ference on Weights and Measures at the concluding session of the twentleth annual meeting today, in the Raleigh Hotel. J. Harry Foley, New Jersey State superintendent of weights and meas ures, was made first vice president; H. L.

A. Webster, New Hampshire; §. T. Griffith, New Hampshire, and George Warner, Wisconsin. The all-important controversial ques- tion as to whether ice cream should be sold by weight or liquid measure, in view of jts high content of air, was settled, so far as the conference was concerned, by the adoption today of a resolution in faver of liquid meas- ure. The conference went on record, however, in favor of a maximum “overrun” or inflation by air of 100 per cent. In other words, the liquid ingredients put into the freezer should not swell, on being beaten and frozen, to more than twice the original bulk. Concern Over Ham. The delegates showed concern over the habit of smoked ham in shrink- ing after being packed, and they were advised that a piece of bacon weighing 6 or 7 pounds. at the time of ship- ment from Chicago shrinks'from 6 to 814 ounces during the two weeks fol- lowing wrapping.

By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.—With prizes totaling more than $100,000 offered for long-distance flights over continent and ocean, adventurous aviators now may choose from at least five events of the kind during the next few months. The dates of the prize offers and proposed flights are: $35,000 offered by James Dole of Honolulu for a non-stop flight from the Pacific Coast to Honolulu; $25,000 for the first and $10,000 for the sec- ond aviator to make the hop. $25,000 offered by William K. Eas- terwood, Dallas, Tex., capitalist, for the first to fly from Dallas to Hong- kong, 10,000 miles. . Preparations in West. $33,000 offered by the business men of Spokane, Wash., for a series of races between New York and Spokane. The race is sponsored by the National Aeronautic Association. $30,000 by Sid Grauman, Holly- wood, for tha first to fly from Los Angeles to Tokio, 5000 miles. $3,500 by Spokane interests for a race from San Francisco to Spokane. Preparations are under way in many quarters in the West to enter the races. At San Jose, Calif., busi- ness men started to raise a fund of $20,000 to ‘equip John Johnson, local flyer, for entering the Honolulu race. Chamberlin Is Interested. Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh i not expected to take part in any of the competitions, but Clarence D, Cham- berlin, pilot of the Bellanca plane which originally was scheduled to make the New York-Paris flight, has announced his interest. The New York-Spokane races are scheduled to be held about the time of the natjonal air races in Spokane next September. Lieut. Leslie Arnold, one of the American round-the-world fivers, has announced plans for a non-stop flight from Los Angeles {o Hawail and re- turn, some time in Augus RACE IS INNOVATION, National Aeronautic Association Gives Spokane Air Meet.

At the same time the association stated it had awarded Spokane as the site for this year's national air races, marking the first time the annual air meet ever has been held in the West. The association also announced that a race for commercial planes between San Francisco and Spokane would be undertaken for prizes totaling $3,500. Capt. Charles Lindbergh was in- vited by the contest committee of the association, under whose direction both the aerial derbies and the air meet will be held, to participate in the transcontinental race. Two Classes Arranged. Dr. George W. Lewis, director of research of the national advisory com- mittee for aeronautics and acting chairman of the contest committee in | the absence of Orville Wright, said the competing airplanes will be di- vided into two classes, one for the class under 100 horsepower and the other for airplanes over 100 horse- power, including the tri-engined air- liners. AIl air mail pilots will be eligible along with commercial pilets and private owner pilots. “It will be a requirement for the airplanes and pilots entering the Na- tional Air Derby,” Dr. Lewis explain- ed, “that the airplanes must have been inspected and registered under the new regulations of the Department of Commerce and flown by pilots who have passed the qualifying examina- tions for pilot’s license from the De- partment of Commerce. “¥or the larger planes, there will be one overnight stop, probably at St. Paul, 'and for the small planes there will probably be two overnight stops. First of Kind. “The New York-to-Spokane Aerial Derby will be the first transcontinental race limited to commercial airplanes ever held. The last transcontinental race was held in 1919 from New York to San Francisco. Practically every airplane in this race was a military airplane and was flown by a military pilot. The strides that commercial aviation has made in the last seven vears are so great that it is highly probable that present-day commercial transport airplanes will far outspeed the time made by the military air- planes of seven Two days following the completion of the air derby the natlonal air races will start at Spokane. The derby is scheduled to start from New York on September 20 and from San Fran- cisco on the 21st. SWANBOATTOGET NEW LARGE MOTOR Eight-Horsepower Plant to Be Installed in Craft at Tidal Basin. A mnew motor, more than double the horsepower of the one now oper- ating the Child Welfare Board Swan boat on the Tidal Basin, will be in- stalled immediately to enable the pon- toon craft more effectively to breast the wind. This was ordered today hy officials of The Evening Star Newspaper Co., which donated the hoat, following the experience yesterday afternoon when the hoat was unable to make headway against a sudden wind and put off five of its six girl passengers at the sea wall. One girl continued with the boat back to the wharf at the Tidal Basin hoathouse. New Motor to Be Stronger. The new motor will have 8 horse- power, capable of developing 11, us compured to the S3-horsepower out- board motor now being used in the craft. Jdward Blount, 17-year-old ‘‘cap- tain” of the swan boat, and Elmer Bowen, in charge of the refreshment stand in the boathousg, who rowed in a boat to assist the girls in landing on the seawall, were complimented for the manner In which they handled the situation. Herbert Campbell of Ar- lington County, Va., also helped the girls in landing from the swan.boat up the iron ladder to th» seawall. No Danger in Stalling. The wind, which virtually stalled the motor in its efforts to make head- way yesterday, sprang up as the Swan Boat was on its 2:30 pm. trip. The hoat was rounding the northeast cor- ner of the basin when the incident oc- curred, There was no danger, “Capt.” Blount said, and the girls were not trightened, but as the boat was un- able to make headway with the power at his command, he landed his pas- senger cargo, all but one girl, who in- sisted on completing the ride to the whart. The Swan Boat is operated for the benefit of the Child Welfare Clinic at Children's 3‘?-"“‘!-'.42" v‘. PINEDO T0 RESUME HOMEWARD FLIGHT Italian Aviator Is Due Today at Horta—Plane Only Slightly Damaged. By the Assoclated Press . ROME, May 27.—Col. De Pinedo is due to arrive today at Horta, In the Azores Islands, according to wireless advices received here from the steam- er Duilio. The message gave no de- tails except to say that the Italian four-continent flyer and his two com- panions are safe and sound, and were taken on hoard the steamer Superga vesterday to be taken to Horta. High winds caused Col. De Pinedo to fail to complete the hop Monday from Trepassey, Newfoundland, to the Azores, says a message from Horta received by the semi-official Stefani ews Agency. Hindered by Winds. The message follows: “Col, De Pinedo during his flight trom Trepassey to the Azores was hin- dered by very strong contra Having calculated that he would be un- able to reach the Azores, he decided to descend on the water in order to wait for a change in the wind, intending to renew his flight afterward. “He descended late in the afternoon of May 23 (Monday), but atmospheric conditions, instead of improving, be- came much worse on account of a cy- clonic disturbance, forcing the Santa Maria to fight high seas for three days while being towed by a Portu- guese three-master. The plane suf- fered no damage, thus showing its su- perb seaworthiness. Damage Is Slight. “On May 25 (Wednesday), after two days' struggle against storm condi- tions, however, its aileron was slightly naged. ““Yesterday the rived on the ranged to tow.

Rarely, if ever, has the Italian lan- guage heen used with such a power, such rapier-like accuracy. It was one of those speeches almost exclu- sively composed of epigrams, but no word was wasted. It was sprinkled with witticisms and local references which have little meaning for for- eigners, but the essential points stand out_clear. First, Italy must have a super- abundance of manpower—20,000,000 of new inhabitants in 20 years, de- manding that the world support them. Second, this Italy must be armed to the utmost “on land, air and sea,” since “the Locarno nations are arm- ing furiously.” Third, Italy will be ready for the great. test between 1935 and 1940, “the crucial point of European his- tory, when we shall make our voice heard and finally see our rights recognized.”’ Fourth, this Ttaly will be ruled by Mussolini, whose successor ‘isn’t born yet.” Without asking for consent, the Duce announced that he must continue to govern “for 10 or 15 years.” Shows Fascism Supreme. Mussolini made a complete survey of internal politics, proving what nobody now questions—that Fascls preme and urishakable in y ever to careful students of the tali situation, the speech reveals move fully how "completely the Fascist revo- Iution has transformed the old, pro- vineial, quarrelsome Italy, which Mus- solini inherited after his march on Rome, The speech contained numerous minor points of exceptional interest— the anti-prohibitionist regime has abolished 25,000 saloons; democracy and free elections have been abolished absolutely; no political opposition will be tolerated; unfruitful marriages should be taxed like celibacy; the Fas- cist regime will continue pitiless to- ward its enemies; while the old gener- ation dies off, millions of babies will be educated in the Fascist faith; a new Parliament would be elected by trade nd professional unfons, not by uni- versal suffrage. —— round and is playing A.

LINDBERGH MAKES FLIGHT OVER PARIS AND GOES SHOPPING (Continued from First Page.) family, at the express invitation of the monarch. Later there will be & banquet at the American Club, where Crown Prince Leopold will sit with the American hero. Knowing full well how eager the crowds will be to welcome the visiting aviator, the Belgian authoritles have designated a large force of gendarmes and riflemen to keep a space clear on the landing fleld, where a special sec- tion has been reserved for the Amerl- can colony. He expects to fly to London from Brussels Sunday, and he is assured of another great reception. The plans, as learned here, call for a meeting with King George and functions at the British Aero Club and various Amerl. can organizations, while there is cer- tain to he a large crowd at the Croy- don Airdrome when the aviator lands with an escort of air liners that will meet him at the coast. Construction is under way of a large public ine closure to accommodate the throngs. ‘While in London Capt. Lindbergh will be the guest of the American Ame bassador, Alanson B. Houghton, and his engagements will be supervised by Col. Kenyon A. Joyce, military’ ate tache. Going to See Europe. All the forced attentions heaped upon the flyer have made it impos- sible for him to see as much of the historic and interesting places as ho would like; therefore he has made up his mind that he will have to return to Europe at some future time when he can go about as an ordinary citl- zel ‘Do you still hope to come back to Europe and see it calmly, just as you had intended when you left America?” he was asked. “I not only hope to, but I am goe ing to,” he feplied. ‘Weary from the strain of what was his hardest day since reaching Paris, Capt. Lindbergh withdrew as early as he could last night from the hospitab table of Shelton Whitehouse, coun- selor of the American embassy. He went straight to bed to dream perhaps of the great system of transeonti- nental and transocean airlines of which it is his ambition to,be the creator. Gives Aerial Acrobatics. When he returned to the air por at Le Bourget after his flight over Paris. Capt. Lindbergh went through a serfes of aerial acrobatics that de- lighted military aviators gathered to watch him. One of the stunts was a sham aerial hattle with a plane piloted by Sergt. De Troyat, who had followed him on his flight. The flight was carried ont without the knowledge of the general public, and few wi® saw the plane over Par! guessed that the hero was once more in_his favorite element. The flyer was the guest of Col. Poly« Marchetti, commandant of the 3ith Regiment of Aviation, who furnished him with one of the newest models of a #50-horsepower military scout plane, It was the first time Lindbergh had flown in this type of plune, yet he made a perfect ascent and landing, winning the admiration of every on who watched him at the controls. After landing he went to his own “bus” to make & caveful inspection and give some suggestions to the mechanics getting it in shape for to- morrow’s air trip to Brus Lindbergh went to Le Bourget accompanied by Brig. Gen. .W. W, Harts, military attache. It was the first time he had been aloft since he arrived from New York, and he seemed absolutely like a boy at play —happy both over the pleasure of flying and at getting a little respite from formalities and attention by crowds, C.
