. COMMITES TOHAVENEN FCES Wéuer, Herreld and Cameron Places to Be Filled—Other Shifts Possible. Some new faces will be seen on ‘committees that handle District affairs in the Senate when Congress re- convenes. On the Senate District committee, which delves into the merits of legis- lation for the National Capital, thera are two vacant seats to be filled in the Republican group, due to the expiration of the terms of Senators Weller of Maryland and Herreld of Oklahoma, both of whom suffered de- feat last year. On the District of Columbia sub- committes of the Senate aprropris tions committee there are two vacancies also waiting to be filled he- fore the annual supply bill for the | next fiscal year is taken up. One Is Cameron’s Place. One of these vacancies resulted from the defeat of Senator Cameron of Arizona in the elections last vear and the other exists because former Senator Weller was one of three mem- | bers of the District’s legislative com- mittee who sat with the subcommitter | on appropriations in going aver the | municipal budget. | The two vacancies on the Senate | District committee will be filled by | the committee on commitiees when | it makes the many other adj necessary to assign new Sena committee work. Of the two vacancies on the appropriations subccmmittee, one will be filled from the .pproor tions committee and the other i picked from the membership of the Senate District committee. Although the division of seats be- tween Republicans and Democrats will be close in the new Senate, it appears likely the Republicans will have the votes necessary to organize the Sen- ate, in which case there probably will be no changes in the make-up of the District committee, other than to fill the places heretofore held by Senators ‘Weller and Harreld. Other Changes Possible. All of the Democratic Senators who were on the District committee at the last session will be members of the new Senate, but there is always the possibility that some one or more of these returning members may be given Dew dommittee assignments. ‘With a number of new Republicans end Democrats to be admitted at this session, their will be many assign- ments to be made on the various other BSenate committees to take the places of members who went out of office with adjournment of the Sixty-ninth Congress last March. On the Republican side the Sena- tors-elect are Brookhart of Iowa, Blaine of Wisconsin, Waterman of Colorado, Steiwer of Oregon, Smith of Illinois and Vare of Pennsylvania. ‘With regard to Smith and Vare con- tests are impending over whether they shall be seated. On the Democratic side the Sena- tors-elect are Tydings of Maryland, ‘Wagner of New York, Barkley of Ken- tucky, Hayden of Arizona and Thomas of Oklahoma. DEMOCRATIC RULES CHANGES FAVORED BY PARTY. LEADERS (Continued from First Page.) Montana. Alaska is also lined in this group, giving to it a total of 90 votes. Favor Change in Rule. The States from which a committee member displays a leaning for a change or substantial modification of the unit rule are West Virginia, Ala- bama and Louisiana. These delega- aonl will have 60 votes in the conven- on, Thus if those committee members who have replied to the inquiry are truly representative of the sentiment existing back home; it would appear there are approximately 600 votes in favor of nominating by majority and 570 votes in ‘favor of freeing delegates who might otherwise be tied up by an adverse majority within their delega- tions. This calculation is based only on the replies which have been re- ceived. There have been no replies from a few States which are popularly sup- posed to be backing the change in convention rules., The most notable absentee is New Jersey, which will have 28 votes in the convention. It is pretty well known that Frank Hague, Democratic boss of New Jer- sey, is lined up with Norman E. Mack, Joseph F. Guffey and other Eastern Jeaders ready to vote for any change in' the rules which he believes will promote the fortunes of Gov. Smith. It seems fair, therefore, to include New Jersey in the States which can be counted on to vote for abrogation. The count would then stand: ‘To abolish two-thirds rule, 628. To abolish or substantially modify the unit provision, 598. CHILDREN'S HOMES * "IN MONTGOMERY WILL BE PROBED | __(_(_Tnntlnutd from_ First Page.) htk when she moved to Takoma rk.

Craft to Get New Engine. Officer Still at Annapolis School. BY FREDERICK R. NEELY. Now that the Callizo fraud, exposed several days ago, demonstrates that the United States' does not have to reach the suburbs of the moon in otder to beat the heretofore ofticial altitude record, confidence is expressed in Nav aeronautical circles that Lieut. Carleton C. Champion, jr. { holder of the world's altitude seaplane mark, may be able to eclipse the present record without having to fight as hard as he did on July 25 when his plane caught fire four times above the city In an effort to surpass Callizo’s “‘record. The little Wright Apache which served faithfully on the seaplane flight of 37,995 feet for a new altitude record and which made in all, more than 30 flights into the deep blue, is to undergo a careful overhaul this week and at the first available opportunity, Lieut. Champion will resume his high alti- tude test work. of his life on the ground, as participation in events spon- sored by that great aeronautical sport- ing organization—the Federation Aero- nautique Internationale—is concerned. Lieut. John A. Macready, former Army Air Corps pilot, is officially cred- ited with having reached 38,704 feet on Janua , 1926, at McCook Field, Dayton, which figure is the highest on record now. Inasmuch as the Callizo “record” of August 29, which developed into a fraudulent attempt to achieve honors by manipulating the barograph while only at one-third the height sup- posed to have been reached, was thrown out, his credited altitude of 1 vear Ao goes out also. The Wright Apache is still in a hanger at the Naval Air Statlon at Anacostia, where it was brought the day Lieut. Champion made his spec- tacular descent. In a day or two it will be taken to the Keystone Air- craft Corporation at Bristol, Pa., where Kenneth M. Lane, one of the designers of the little fighter, will su- pervise its reconditioning. ‘Inasmuch as the wings were punctured by fly- ing parts of the engine when it broke to pleces on the descent, it is prob- able that all four panels will be re- covered. Two Weeks' Work. A new Pratt & Whitney Wasp air-cooled power plant of 400 horse- power of the type which has demon- strated that it is best suited for the high altitude work will be installed, and then the plane will be ready— in about two weeks, probably—to shoot at the 88,704-foot mark. On July 25 Lieut. Champion was confi- dent, and still is, that he went far higher than he ever had been before— in fact, his altimeter, in which he has great faith, registered a “47,” mean- ing 47,000 feet, but the calibrated barograph showed only .38,559 feet, according to the Bureau of Standards. The fact that Lleut. Champion on July 4, at the Anacostia Air Station, reached within 5 feet of the 38,000- foot level in the Apache equipped ‘with a main pontoon and two wing floats, all three of which constituted many pounds of additional weight and a certain abount of drag has led naval airmen to believe that he could add another 1,500 feet without much difficulty. Under the rules of the Federation Aeronautique Internation- ale Lieut. Champion, to receive credit for a new world record, must surpass | the present one by 100 meters, or ap- proximately 300 feet. Therefore Lieut. Champion would have to reach 39,004 feet to claim a new world record. THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON, D. €. SEPTEMBER 11. 1927—PART 1. CHAMPION ALTITUDE AIRPLANE TO BE COMPLETELY REPAIRED LIEUT. C. C. CHAMPION, JR. that Lieut. Champion is not out to beat the Army's record just for the sake of doing it, because the United States and not the individual receives credit for the accomplishment. The high altitude flights are to determine the absolute limit an airplane can go under its own power, and the Cham- pion-Apache-Wasp combination is be- lieved to be the best available for the duty. When the Apache is ready to take the air it will be just about the same as it always was with respect to any “trick” equipment. The plane is a service type and can take-its place oa carriers today along with the Curtiss and Boeing fighters. Airmen, particularly Navy flyers identified with the Champion project for some time, still are talking about the Callizo fraud. For many months prior to the expose they expressed grave doubts that Callizo could reach such heights in the type of plane, powered with the heavy water-cooled engine it had. They had no proof that the airman never reached 40,820 feet and still do not have, but their convictions have been bdcked up by the manufacturers of the plane, who, themselv doubted the achievement so seriously that they determined to test Callizo by secreting a barograph in the plane. Services to Co-operate. The Bleroit-Spad plane manufac- turers, the Lorraine engine build- ers and the Rateau supercharger officials, all French concerns, have been praised time and again by the airmen for their sportsmanship in re- fusing to permit their products to be used in a fraud, even though the undiscovered manipulation of the barograph was a great boost for their products for a time. These firms, it was emphasized, are internationally known for the superiority of their products, and it is in keeping with the policy that brought them to their present high standard not to tolerate dishonesty, even on the part of an out- sider. The Army Air Corps, as far as could be learned last night, will not compete with ‘the Navy in its pro- jected altitude test work. To do so, it was explained, would amount to expending double effort and energy to arrive at the same result. Whatever the Navy learns in that respect, will become the property of the Army for the asking and while tests are going on in this fleld, the Army will continue with experiments in other lines, of the same technical and strategical impor- tance, although less spectacdlar. “In- cluded in this field are experiments for getting more speed out of the types of pursuit planes both services employ as. standard equipment. If the results are successful, the Navy will be welcome to the findings of the test boards. Lieut. Champion still is at the post- graduate school at Annapolis, but is anxious to resume the altitude tests, even though it requires ‘“commuting” between the two cities and loss of It was emphasized by naval airmen Special Dispatch to The Star.

COCOA, Fla., September 10.— This little city on the east coast of Florida has been marveling since September 3, when a motorless device, called an ornithopter, be- longing to George R. White of Stony Brook, L. 1., made a sus- tained flight of an eighth of a mile. The flight was made at Cocoa Beach, a short distance from Cocoa, where Mr. White has been quietly conducting experiments for several weeks, The ornithopter has wings cov- ered with feathers that beat like the wings of a bird, and when the machine is in the air it looks like a giant eagle. It is said to be the first motorless device that has made a sustained flight of such a dis- tance. Secrecy has surrounded the ex- periments of Mr. White and two friends he brought here with him from the North, Asked what made the wings of the ornithopter beat like those of birds, he replied, cryptically, that it was simply an application of motive power. Ex- periments are conducted early in. the morni, before the beach MAN SHOT, WOMAN HELD PENDING POLICE INQUIRY Principal in Louisiana Avenue Occurrence Says It Was an Accident.

Members of the Hotel Assoclation of | Washington are definitely opposed to the practice of soliciting guests by dropping literature in automobiles coming into Washington, and have launched a campaign designed to have this method of obtaining trade abol- ished, Lawrence Mills, secretary, an- nounced last night. Secretary Mills declared he wrote the attorneys general of Maryland and Virginia suggesting that it be made unlawtul for hotel owners to post *men alongside the roadside for the purpose of soliciting trade, but was informed by the Virginia official that under existing law nothing could: be done to remedy the situation. It is explained that the hotel men in the association who have pledged not to circularize motorists by agents posted on the open road believe that these tactics now being pursued by non-members are proving detrimental to their interests. Mr. Mills said the principal hotel men decided to forego this method of advertising in the in- terest of the public, and that if they should attempt to compete on this basis that the ‘*‘circularizing” soon would become a nuisance to all motor- ists enterting the National Capital Rockville, Md., authorities last night that any hotel proprietor desiring to post a man on the open road in Montgomery County for the purpose of distributing literature must pay a fee of $300 per annum and ob- tain permission of the property holder in front of which the hotel agent posts himself on duty. The Rockville county clerk, upon investigation of the records, stated that only one Washington hotel firm has availed it- selt of this privilege, but that any who qualify can obtain the privilege. BALTIMORE WOMAN HURT IN COLLISION Coupe Hit by Another Car on Intercity Pike—Driver Is Detained. Mrs. Margaret Utz, 29 years old, 610 Cnlvert street, Baltimore, Md., was seriously injured when a coupe in which she was en route to Wash- ington collided with another machine on the Washington-Baltimore boule- vard betwoen Laurel and Savage, Md., about 6 o’clock last evening, and turned on its side. James Rebhin, said to be the woman's flance, and Mrs. Utz's 5- year-old daughter Louise, who also were in the overturned car, escaped injury. The other car failed to stop. The impact of the collision turned the car which the trio occupled com- pletely around before it toppled over and pinned Mrs. Utz between a partly opened door, crushing her breast and several ribs and causing abrasions on her right hip and knee. Victim in Hospital. Mrs. Utz was extricated from the overturned machine by A. ¥. Arnold of Landover, Md., and brought to Casualty Hospital in the car of O. F. Conklin, 1405 Good Hope road south- east. Rebhin and Mrs. Utz's daughter also were brought to Casualty Hospital, and an examination showed them to be unhurt. The girl, however, had both shoes torn from her feet in some unknown manner. Rebhin who gave the same address as Mrs. Utz, was taken in custody by Policeman 8. Schinkesy of the ninth precinct and is being held for the Maryland State police pending an in- vestigation. ‘The accldent occurred, according to information given the Washington po- lice, when a Baltimore-bound machine attempted to pass a large truck going in the same direction. Rebhin, who was driving Mrs. Utz and her daugh- ter to Washington to visit her brother, Herbert Putnam, 75 New York avenue northeast, told the police he made a vain effort to steer out of the .path of the oncoming car, but it struck his car nearly head-on.

Brehon Somervell, United States Army engineer for this district, has begun a careful tour of inspection of the territory along the upper Poto- mac and Shenandoah Rivers that would be affected by the proposed power project of the Potomac River Corporation of Delaware, application for which is pending before the Fed eral Power Commission. Maj. Somervell has spent the past three days going over the areas around Harpers Ferry, Charles Town and other localities near the upper Potomac, where a series of power and storage dams would be placed in ad- dition to those at Great Falls and Chain Bridge. He probably will com- plete the inspection tomorrow. The views of the people both in ‘Washington and in the area farther up the river were ascertained by Maj. Somervell at public hearings recently, and the inspection is another step in the War Department’s inqu the project. It will be several weeks, however, before Maj.

Senator Norris would mention no candidate. He said this, however: “Gov. Al Smith of New York is, of course, handicapped by his religion and because he is a wet.

Citizens Speaking English Permitted—Number Restricted by Court. By the Associated Press. STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, September 10.—Only American citizens who speak the English language will be permit- ted to serve as union pickets around the properties of coal companies in five eastern Ohio countles, under the terms of a preliminary injunction is- sued here today by Judge Benson W. Hough in United States District Court. Furthermore, Judge Hough an- nounced that he would recommend the deportation of any person convicted of violating the injunction who is not an American citizen. The injunction, granted on applica- tion of four coal companies, specified that not more than three persons should occupy one picket post, that the posts must be at least 700 yards apart and that they were not to be closer than 100 yards from any min- ing property. Immediately after the injunetion was issued spokesmen for five other coal companies operating in the af- fected area, indicated they would file an intervening petition next Tuesday seeking to enter the case as joint complainants in order to receive the protection of the order. Announced After Conference. The injunction was announced fol- lowing a conference in chambers be- tween Judge Hough, Adjt. Gen. Hen- derson of the Ohio National Guard, the county attorneys and sheriffs of the five countles involved, Marshal Stanley Borthwick of the. southern Ohlo Federal judiclal district and counsel for the operatora and miners. Judge Hough told the county of- ficials that while Marshal Borthwick would be directly in charge of the enforcement of the order, it would bé up to them to co-operate. toun- ties in which the injunction applies are Belmont, Harrison, Jefferson, Tus. carawas and Columbiana. The injunction stated specifically that pickets would not be permitted to threaten working miners in any way or to use offensive language in addressing them. Several modes of address were singled out by the court as being barred. Hotel to draw up a program for formation of a national council of State Legislatures, whose first move will be to seek repeal of the in- heritance tax provision of the revenue law, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States issued a statement de- claring that an insistent demand for revision of Federal taxes is making itself known from many sections uf the country.

In addressing the gathering, Jjust prior to adoption of a set of declara- tions and an organization plan for the national council, Mr. Satterwhite de- clared the Federal dominion now ex- tends over virtually all of some branches of State governments and is “descending like a cloud without even the poor pretext of a financial part- nership” over rs. Recommendations Outlined. The statement by the national cham- ber was issued by Lewis T. Pierson, its president.

He outlined the following definite recommendations which the chamber will advocate at the coming session of Congress for immediate aid to the tax- payer: Reduction of the corporation income tax, repeal of the Federal estate tax, repeal of the war excise taxes levied on particular businesses, simplification of both l]gw and administration gov- erning the internal revenue system, ravision of provisions of the statute affecting the income accruing from in- stallment selling, establishment and maintenance of a reasonable balance between Federa! revenues and ex- penditures, ample facilities and oppor- tunity for a thoroughgoing study of all phases of taxation and tax admin- istration by the joint congressional committee. Other Tax Plans Considered. Other phases of taxation reform also are under consideration, although not regarded as of so pressing a nature a: the items already listed.

NEW RADlO.FIXTURES. Interesting Additions to Supply Coming on Market. Here are a few of the new and in- teresting things which are coming on the market and with which radio users should be familiar: A device to color the tone of the set so that reception can be tuned to one’s particular taste. A loud speaker that is in the form of a library globe. With it the radio- ist can mix geography and entertain- ment. A feature of this globe is that by opening and closing it changes in the volume, and sometimes in the tone, can be effected. Another improvement is an auto- matic device which compensates for varlations_in the voltage of the line current. Many radioists have noticed that variations in line current pro- duce an effect of fading. This device increases the “C” bias voltage when the “B” voltage increases, thus main- taining the proper balance. PGSR S Plane Carries Man Upside Down. Correspondence of the Assuciated Press.
