By the Associated Press. 2 NEW YORK, October 6—On recom mendation of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, the chairman of its technical commit- tee, the Trancontinental Air Transport Co., organized to operate the air portion of plane-train service across the coun- try, decided yesterday to establish an all-air route from Columbus, Ohio, to the West Coast. Planes with slee?lnl accommodations will be used for night flying. The all-air service, President C. M. Key of the transport company an- nounced, will place New York one busi- ness day from the West Coast. supplement the originally planned joint rail and air route, giving a daily 48- hour service between the coasts. Plans for this service, it was stated, are well under way. Gradual development of an all-air route was the first intention of the ex- ecutive committee of the transport com- pany, Mr. Keys said. The plans, how- ever, were hastened by the findings and recommendations of the technical com- mittee, headed by Col. Lindbergh, who has been studying meteorological con- ditions and topography preparatory to opening the air and rail routes. Statement by Lindbergh. “After personally inspecting the West- ern portion of the route to be operated by Transcontinental Air Transport, and after inspecting meteorological condi- tions in this territory, I am ready to recommend that an all-air schedule be established west of Columbus,” said a statement by Col. Lindbergh, given out with the announcement of the executive :&mmm,ee's action on his recommenda- n. “This recommendation is made with the unanimous approval of the technical committee. A study of equipment now available shows that night flying of pas- sengers over suitable territory can be carried on in safety and comfort.” Col. Lindbergh's statement explained his recommendation was due in large measure to the findings of his associates on the technical committee—O. 8. (Casey) Jones, president of the Curtiss flying service; Maj. Thomas G. Lan- phier, Phil Love, former flying mate of Col. Lindbergh, and H. Clay Ferguson, operations head of the Curtiss flying service. By using the all-air service, it was ex- plained, the passenger could leave New York, say, Wedn: y ht, lose_only one business day, and be in San Frs cisco, or Los Angeles Priday. ‘Will Not Compete With Game.

SUFFERING FROM COLD., AWAITS START | FOR ANTARCTIC AlR “NE T[] G“AS”Explorer Arrives in Los Angeles With High T F ever, but Hopes to Leave for South : Pole Wednesday. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 6.—Suffering from effects of a severe cold, contracted on a transcontinental train that brought him from Boston, Comdr. Richard E. Byrd. was here today awaiting arrival of the whaler C. A. Larsen, mother ship of his Antarctic exploration expedition. The commander had a fever of 102 de- grees when he arrived yesterday with Mrs. Byrd and several of his lieuten- ants anc aides. Regretfully declining proftered hospitality of the city, the noted explorer said he would rest and conserve his strength pending arrival of the ship, expected to put in next Tues- ly/lr!. Byrd will return to Boston after her husband sails, probably next Wed- | nesday morning. ‘With the little white dog that accom- panied Byrd and Floyd Bennett in their flight over the North Pole two years ago lying at his feet, the commander outlined for newspaper men the plans and aspirations of the Antarctic expedi- tion. Explains Purposes of Flight. The undertaking, he pointed out at Jength, was not to be a “dash to the South Pole,” but would be a scientific mapping and exploring expedition that m"gt last three years. Reaching the Pole by air would be only a hoped-for in- cident of the work, he said. “If I wanted to make a dash, I could have prepared in a month or started much sooner than we intend to,” he said. “Instead we have been preparing for three years. When we get there, we shall stay and work. We can stay a year amd a half easily; two years without diffi- culty. I should like to stay for three ears. Perhaps we shall. We might ave to live on seals and penguins—but that’s all right.” ‘The whaler that will pick up Byrd and his men, fuel, provisions and spare me- chanical equipment here, is one of four ships of the expedition now converging on New Zealand. The commander said the City of New York, a wooden ice ship, which sailed from New York Harbor re- cently, is somewhere in the region of the Galapagos Islands, the Eleanor Boll- ing is somewhere near Panama, and the Ross, carrying 100 sledge dogs, is passing throught the canal. Four Portable Houses. From New Zealand the expedition will put cut for the polar ice barrier and the Bay of Whales. When the ships become ice-blocked the party will land and set up a base, using four portable houses to establish the permanent colony. From that base four airplanes, a tri-motored Ford, a single-motored Fokker, a Fairchild and a smaller cabin plane, will take up the work of photo- graphing great stretches of unknown territory. By use of the photographs Byrd hopes to “fill in the blank spaces on the map” of the Antarctic. Dog teams also will be used in the explora- tions. An important part of the work, ac- cording to Byrd, will be meteorology, the study of the air strata, air move- ments and climatic conditions, which scientists belleve may give knowledge of the world's weather several years in_advance. Members of the party who arrived with their commander included: Wil- lard Vandeveer, photographer, who was with Byrd in the North; Charles Lof- gren, his personnel officer; Lieut. Ralph Shropshire, an Army man, navigation officer and scientist; Russell Owens, New York newspaper man; Thomas B. Mul- roy, chief engineer, and Richard G. Brophy, business manager.

WIENER NEUSTADT, Austria, Oc- tober 6.—Tke rattle of musketry and the tread of marching troops were heard today in Wiener Neustadt as this in- dustrial center, 30 miles south of Vienna, prepared for possible dis- orders and bloodshed when two rival political organizations meet tomorrow. Last-minute preparations were being made for separate propaganda meet- ings of the Social Democrats, who rule Vienna, and the Heimwehr, or so-called Home Defense League of Christian So- cialists, who control the Austrian gov- ernment. Thousands of the 35,000 in- habitants were temporarily abandoning the city, which has taken on the ap- pearance of a gigantic armed citadel. Government Sends Troops. The Austrian government sent 12,000 troops and gendarmes armed with rifles, bayonets, machine guns and artillery. The governor of lower Austria assumed command of the security forces. ~Un- der the directions of the chief of po- lice troops were firing round after round of ammunition in target practice in the suburbs. The authorities commandeered the large municipal hospital with 300 beds in case it should be needed during the rival meetings. Present patients were being evacuated. All available physicians in Vienna were ordered to be in Wiener Neustadt tomorrow. Valuable property was being banked about with sandbags against any possi- ble bombardment. The 443 factories of the city ceased work. Business men barricaded their shops. Electric signs on the streets were removed. One Casualty Already. There has been one casualty already, a Social-Democrat having shot the for- mer burgomaster of the town of Wels- senbach twice through the chest. Nine Communists, charged with in- citing others to size the meetings as an occasion for open revolution, were arrested by the police in the neighboring town of Baden. These Communists will be_tried for high treason. More conservative elements of Austria condemned the government of Chancel- lor Seipel for what the newspapers de- scribed as the cabinet’s folly and mad- ness in permitting the rival meetings. Newspapers said the meetings were nothing less than open warfare which might again drench Austria in blood as did the riots of July, 1927. There was widespread appreHension 2s to the effect of the demonstrations in the United States and Europe where Austria has been seeking a loan. TEACHERS ARE GREETED.

HEA 9 SEWER PPE PRI VAR 5 DESERBED Contractor Testifies He Fought Late Queens County King to Break Cost. By the Associated Press. | [/ NEW YORK, October 6—Angelo | Paino, wealthy sewer contractor, testi- fled on the witness stand in the Queens sewer trial yesterday that he rebelled against the late John M. Phillips, so- called Queens sewer pipe king, in a short-Tived and only temporarily suc- cessful fight to break the high prices Phillips was charging for his patented lock-joint pipe specified for use in Queens sewer jobs. Chalking up on a blackboard in front of the jury more figures showing ex- cessive cost of sewer pipe on the Queens projects, Special Prosecutor Emory R, Buckner put Paino through a long ex- amination in his drive to convict for- mer Queens Borough President Maurice E. Connolly and former Sewer Enginecr Seely of conspiring with Phillips to de- fraud the city through sewer contracts. Paino’s bids on three sewer jobs® totaled $1,875,203, and of that sum he paid Phillips $533,469 for sewer pipe, the contractor testified. It was in 1923, he related, he told Phillips “Your prices are too high,” and built his own pipe in a threat against the Queens pipe monopolist. As a re- sult, Paino said, Phillips reduced his quotations 30 per cent. But on later jobs, he testified, pipe prices skyrocketed again until they took a sudden plunge from $35 a foot to $5 after the Queens sewer investigation began. ‘The inquiry resulted in the indictment of Phillips, Connolly and Seely, but the | pipe king died before the trial.
