LEDT WLLANS T0 RECEVE HONOR Distinguished Flying Cross Will Be Pinned on Gal- lant Flyer. ‘The Naval Air Station at Anacost from which he has taken off on nume ous occasions on thrilling flights, w the setting today for Secretary Adams to pin the Distinguished Flying Cross on the dauhtless airman, Lieut. Alford J. Williams, for his outstanding work in making planes safer for aviation. The official citation briefly tells a story, behind which runs unceasing effort on the part of the gallant fiyer to discover the cause of fatal alr accidents and over- come them, for Lieut. Williams has faced death time after time in his experiments for which the sky was his laboratory. Appropriate ceremonies to honor the popular naval fiyer, who is known to his fellows as “Al" were arranged and the presentation was scheduled to begin at 2:30 o'clock. While the Navy was arranging to bestow high honor on this, its chosen son. aviation circles in the National Capital were predicting new honors for Lieut. Williams, Shrouded in much mystery is the mew airplane that is being built for him and he has been mentioned as America’s representative in the Schnelder Cup airplane races this Fall, Acting on behalf of President Hoovi Secretary Adams made this announce- ment at the department. The citation accompanying the decoration for Lieut. Williams follows: *For extraordinary achievements while participating in duly authorized aerial flight during the month of March, 1928, in which he made a study of the action and best methods of control of a vio- lently maneuvered airplane in inverted flight. These and many other flights made by Lieut. Willlams in the inter- ests of the advancement of the state of the art of airplane design and control ‘were attended by exceedingly great per- sonal risk of life, but, nevertheless, they were voluntarily and willingly under- taken by him even though he was well aware of the danger involved. As a result of his flights and studies he was able to evolve certain principles and to make practical application of them to the end that aerial maneuvers have been made safer and methods have been developed for more fully and accurately testing the capabilities of various types of airplanes. Lieut. Willlams has been one of the pioneers of high-speed flight and his distinguished feats in the air, development work, study and technical articles have all contributed to the knowledge and safety of aviation and have aided in keeping the United States well to the fore in the realm of the world’s aviation.” Lieut, Williams entered the Navy September 3, 1917, and was qualified as a naval aviator on November 10, 1918. He has served in the aeronautic organ- ization of the Navy since. In April, 1919, he made the first inverted flight tests in an NR-9 seaplane. He has participated in numerous air raids and gossip in aviation circles has it that he is to be the American fsrtlclplnt in the Schneider Cup races in the Fall.

BROOKHART FAVORS DRAFTING CAPITAL Senator Reed Declares Next War| “Must See No Profiteering Like in Last One.” By the Assoclated Press Senator Reed, Republican, of Penn- Ivania declared in the Senate yester- day that he hoped that body soon would have an opportunity to act upon a bill | providing for conscription of capital as | well as men in time of war. Reed, who is chairman of the military affairs committee, was asked by Senator Borah if the bill he introduced several days ago on behalf of the War Depart- ment provided for such conscription. Reed said he had not yet had oppor- tunity to examine the measure. Senator Brookhart said he was op- posed to the War Department bill which ‘would give the President the right au- tomatically to invoke thc selective draft system when war is declared. He sald the bill was desired by the Army gen- eral staff, but not by the citizen soldiery. “It is a Mussolini measure,” he said. “The American Legion had indorsed a bill which would draft capital as well men, and I am for that. But I am op posed to this sort of Mussolini conscrip- tion proposition like the War Depart- ment bill would make possible.” Reed declared that the last war showed the unfairness of drafting men without calling upon war material manufacturers to do thelir part. “The next war must see no profiteer- THE EVENING SENATE LEADERS HOPE FOR DECISION Nomination of Lenroot to| Court of Custom Appeals Before Body. By the Associated Press. The nomination of Irvine Lenroot, former Republican Senator from Wis- consin, to be a member of the Court of Customs Appeals was again before the Senate today with leaders hopeful of obtaining a decision before adjourn- ment. By a vote of 38 to 34 yesterday, the Senate rejected the motion of Senator Black, Democrat, Alabama, to open the | doors for consideration of the nomina- tion, A motion was pending today to make public the roll call on that vote. Senator Norris, Republican, Nebrask: with the support of most of the Repu lican independent group, has been fight- ing the Lenroot nomination. Leaders conceded that should the Democrats | line up solidly against the former Sena- | tor his confirmation would be in doubt, but that contingency was not expected. In a long speech yesterday, Norris assailed Lenroot on his record as chair- man of the Senate lands committee and his service as an attorney in Washing- ton since he retired from the Senate WO years ago. The Nebraskan complained that, while chairman of lands committee during the early days of the investiga- tion into the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve leas:, Lenroot called on Albert Fall, former Secretary of the Interior and the man under inquiry by the committee. At a hearing before the judiciary i committee, Lenroot declared he had | called on his former colleague, Fall, merely to arrange for his appearance before the committee. Norris also objected to Lenroot ap- pearing as attorney before the Senate interstate commerce committee in opposition to the resolution of Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, for an inquiry of the power companies. i’enls for Indians.
