HAWKS RESUMES - FLIGHTTO ELPASO | ‘Glider Pilot Is Confident He Will Reach New York on Schedule. By the Associated Press TUCSO] Ariz, April 1.—Capt. Frank Hawks' transcontinental glider | flight was resumed at 6 am. today ;| when his tow plane led the glider off | the Tucson rt and headed for E1_Paso, Tex. Before taking off, Capt. Hawks an- nounced the scheduled refueling stop at Lordsburg, N. Mex., would be elim-| inated and a direct flight to El Paso made instead, in an effort to make up time lost here yesterday. Only a brief stop, he said, would be made at El Paso, for lunch and re- fueling of the tow plane. It is planned to s{xnd tonight at Sweetwater, Tex. Pilots of escort planes, who accom- | panied Hawks and his party for 25 miles out of Tuscon, reported the glider ;nd’ its tow plane were functioning per- ectlv. T7ind yesterday gave the strange train its first rebuff. Capt. Hawks, piloting the glider, circled the local airport a few minutes after Jernigin's plane had | towed him to a take-off for Lordsburg. | N. M., en route to El Paso, Tex., the scheduled second night stop. “Just a little glider exhibition,” Capt. Hawks told the surprised crowd upon | gettling the craft to a graceful landing A frayed end of the tow cable still fas. tened to the glider, however, belied the levity of its pilot's explanation. | Efforts to splice the rubber and lt!fll cable met with difficulties. and the task was not completed in time for a sec- ond take-off in daylight. The first leg, from San Diego to here, was traversed Sunt without mishap. Ad::’w tow cable was ordered sent to El Paso from Los Angeles. ‘The un cted delay has not damp- ened the pes of Capt. Hawks of reaching New York City by Sunday. They said they believed they could make up the lost time en route. RADICALS FIGHT CHURCH IN LUZON| Communist Agitation Obliges Archbishop to Sell Lands Occu- pied, Is Manila Report. By the Associated Pr 4 MANILA, April 1.—Communist agi- tation. on church lands in Central Luzon Province, with which the church authorities feel no longer able to cope, was the reason given yesterday by the Archbishop of Manila for the church's decision to endeavor to sell the lands to the Government. Tha archbishep charged that, due to sgitation, tenants are refusing to pay rent and some haven't paid a centavo since 1926. The charges were made through his attorney, Gabriel Lao. Simultaneously it was authoritatively that the dignitary’s claims of Communist activities were supported by 8 confidential report by the constabu- to Governor General Dwight Although friar land troubles have dated from the time of Spanish pos- session of the Philippines, the report of the b its renewal on a peasant leader for urging tenants not to pay rent and temng them that “the land belongs to the laboring <lass and not to the imperialistic, land- grosdy capitalist.” A large detachment of the constab- ulary has been detailed to the Dinalupi- | han estate to prevent violence. Most of the friar lands were purchased from the church when the late William How- ard Taft was governor general, shortly after the Spanish-American War, Four friar were not purchased, and it is on these that trouble has started. ‘Woman Prosecutor Persists.

TRICKY CURREN Sharp Uptwist of Wind Spins Return, Flyer Says, BY CAPT. FRANK M. Holder of the Transcontinental .Speed Record. Special Dispatch to The Star. TUCSON, Ariz, April 1 (NANA).—| O Man Weather got a bit too rough | for us here yesterday. | A sound sleep at the hotel and an 184karat breakfast at my old friend Dick Burke's home had us all feeling pretty | fit when we reached Mayse Field short- | ly after daybreak. Our success on the | difficult Sen Diego-Tueson leg of the alr-train’s transcontinental flight added optimism to the outlook. The wind was acting up, HAWKS, p the tow cable to the glider's nose and off we started El Pasoward with little to do. It was quickly discovered, how- ever, that all was not well with the tele- phone line entwined on the tow cable, | for Duke Jernigin could not hear me| nor I him, We were climbing nicely, though a[ lttle bumpily, and were about 10 miles | from the field just beyond the city when Jernigin decided to turn back to re- pair the phone. As the tow banked easily around at 2,500 feet a stiff up- current threw both ships off on one wing. | T%:aw the airplane dip sharply to | the left'and a_moment later the glider, despite my efforts, executed the same | involuntary evolution. As the ecraft| slipped off | downward, the tow line| lacked m&g ‘when it w;;fl snalpped ‘taut‘ ships iemselves, Just mrgfme reel in the | ship. Of ‘course T had to drop the weight | of the cable off the glider’s nose °“'°i an arid waste of desert. Although I was 10 miles from the field, the glider's 22-to-1 gliding ratio made it easy to get back and land. So_here we sat all day, rigging a new tow line.

In the meantime, we hoped that the wind would die down. When the cable was ready, I took a hop in the tow plane to examine the air currents aloft at first hand.

Medal Proposed For Soldiers Bent On Art or Writing By the Associated Press. ‘The literary or artistic bent of the American doughboy as dis- tinguished from his talent at bearing arms and dealing death would be rewarded under a bill introduced by _Representative McSwain of South Carolina. The measure would create a soldier's medal of merit, award- able to any officer or enlisted man of the Army “who shall vender any conspicuous and out- standing service to the cause of science or literature or art to the cause of world peace, or toward promoting the efficiency and eco- nomy of the national defense.” Another decoration, the soldier’s hero medal, would be igven to those uvmi Government prop erty or the lives of others at th risk of their own. v The modern plan of payments - with strictly cash prices G STAR, WASHINGTON, BUG EXPERT BUILDS HUGE TELESCOPE Dr. C. W. Woodworth Erecitng Giant Instru- ment Unaided. Is By the Associated Press. BERKELEY, Calif, April 1.—The world’s largest telescope is being built single-handed by a University of Cali- fornia . educator whose specialty 1s | entomology. | Dr. C. W. Woodworth is using 400 | pieces of glass, which he is grinding ‘1 |to Ait into one large mirror, in an attempt to prove that such a compo- site reflector will be as. effective as single-piece lenses. When completed, Dr. Woodworth’s telescope will be larger than the 100- inch mirror at Mount Wilson, now the world’s largest. It is to be square, 10 feet on a side. Dr. Wocdworth believes his telescope will answer scientists’' arguments that a reflector of separate pieces of glass is | not feasible. His square models, he says, | have compared favorably in tests with single-piece lenses, either mirror or | refracting. Expansion and contraction of the | mirror surfac: have been considered the | greatest obstacles to building larger telescopes and Dr. Woodworth thinks he has solved this problem. | “It is contended,” he says, “that temperature changes may expand and contract the framework on which the many mirrors are laid to such an extent as to disturb the adjustment of separate lenses. I believe I have obviated this possibility by making the lens supports so they, like a compensated pendu- lum, will compensate all temperature changes.” Dr. Woodworth's back yard is the scene of his experiment. Now he is building a model to be mounted for | preliminary experimental observations | on the roof of his workshop. He started the project two years ago. |VETERAN CIVIL SERVICE | MESSENGER IS HONORED Ananias Davis Receives Substan- tial Pile of Silver Dollars on Birthday Anniversary. 4 { | Ananias Davis, messenger to the members of the Civil Service Commis- sion, received the congratulations today | held for a number of years here, Nas | of his fellow workers in the office of the we found. | Peen made magazine chairman of the | Cjyi] Service Commission and was pre- sented with a substantial pile of silver dollars.

Generally there is a background of expen- sive old-time charge account methods—with naturally expensive old-time prices, that have not been changed. Bond prices haven't been changed either! But Bond prices—for 16 years—have been cash prices (and the sensible, thrifty economies of a cash business need no introduction).

LONDON, April 1 (#).—The Palestine Commission yesterday made public its report on the disorders in Palestine last that the outbreak was ing an attack by Arabs that it was not pre- the bey meditated. ‘The report said the Arabian grand mufti must accept some responsibility, adding that the part he took in forma- tion of .societies for the defense of Moslem holy places “was influenced by a twofold desire—to annoy Jews and to mobilize Moslem opinion on the issue of the Wailing Wall. Arablan Mufti Blamed. “He had no intention of utilizing this religious campaign as a means of in- citing disorder. But inasmuch hs the movement which he in part created became, through force of circumstances, = not unimportant factor in events which led to the outbreak, the mufti, like many others who directly played upon public feeling in Palestine, must accept a share in responsibility for the disturbances.” The riots last Summer apparently originated in trouble over the historic Wailing Wall, long a sacred place for the Jews, but now part of a mosque. A total of 133 Jews and 116 Arabs were ikilled, while 339 Jews and 232 Arabs were wounded. Seven American citi- zens were among the Jewish dead. While holding that the outbreak was not_a revolt against British authority in Palestine, the report recommended that a clear statement of policy by the British government was essential to good government and it urged that such a statement be made soon. ‘Wants Another Commission. ‘The government also was urged to appoint shortly another commission, under authority of article 14 of the Palestine mandate, to_ determine the rights of claims to the Wailing Wall as a measure of essential peace and good government. The report recalled that the League of Nations had agreed to such procedure. Steps should be taken, the commission advised, to insure that government offi- cials watch for inflammatory articles in the Palestine press, and to empower them to prosecute where articles tend- to breach of the peace are pub. lished. An adequate intelligence serv- ice was advocated to check activities of racial agitation. “Our recommendations regarding im- migration and land questions,” says the report, “are largely based on the as- sumption that in definition of policy his majesty’s government will clearly state that the rights and duties of non- Jewish communities in Palestine are to be fully safeguarded.” GROSNER’S #3 A5 RECEIVER FOR FOX IS URGED BY JUDGE U. 8.
