COSTA RICA WANTS | ‘U S.TOBUILD CANAL President Favors Cession of Land, but Steps Would Be Complicated. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD. By Radio to The Star and the Chicago aily News. Copyright, 1930. SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, April 7.—Costa Rica hopes that the United States will bulld the Nicaraguan Canal, whose proposed route forms part of her north- ern boundary and whose construction will require the little republic to cede a strip of its territory to the United States similar to the Canal Zone in Panama. President Cleto Gonzalez- Viquez of Costa Rica thus summarized the views of his country in this regard. “While the Army and Navy of the United States want to enlarge the Panama Canal, believing one canal easier to defend than two, commercial interests realize that the Nicaraguan waterway will bring the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States three or four days closer than they are now,” he continued. “Costa Rica has no reason to oppose the canal; this country has always been interested in it and has always wanted it constructed, A dam in the San Juan River as part of the project will flood considerable of our territory, but this particular section is swampy, hardly populated and without created inter- ests, and the amount of property damages to be indemnified easily could be determined. “Ceding a portion of our territory to the United States is more compli- cated. Our constitution requires both a two-thirds vote of Congress and. later a popular convention to consider the subject, which must be approved by a majority vote. Other things in addition to the mere grant of a strip of territory no doubt are involved, and until the details are known, it is impossible to say how Costa Rica would receive them. However, our country wants the canal built and is ready to assist the scheme in every way.” Costa Rica’s independent policy causes certain interests to misrepre- sent it as unfriendly to the United States, but on the occasion of former President Taft's death, the government here ordered three days of national mourning. .

BY CAPT. FRANK M. HAWKS, the Continent in a Glider e o1der of Transcontinental Alpiane Speed Record. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, April 7 (N.AN. Well, we made it—and on time! It was a rough trip in our plane- glider air-train from San Diego to Van Cortlandt Park. While I should not like to undertake to fly the same dis- tance in the same way on schedule again, I feel that as a stimulant to in- terest in gliding our flight has been eminently successful—and that, solely and simply, was its purpose. Of the eight days' flying yesterday was by far the bumpiest and most dis- agreeable. With the exception of the heavy weather which prevailed at the start last Sunday, we encountered our worst - skies on this final leg of the Joummey. Start Is Bumpy. We left Buffalo shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morning, rising into overcast heavens and bumpy air. Duke Jernigin kept the air-train at a low altitude at first, finally pulling up as high as of quieter conditions. Regardless, I bounced around plenty at the end of the’ tow rope. What we saw when we were aloft con- firmed the foreboding of the weather map and convinced us that if we were to reach New York on time, we would Lave to abandon the scheduled route through Elmira and head directly east- ward. That way the weather looked not quite so forbidding, although it meant our bucking a stiff head wind. In an hour and 20 minutes we were at Syracuse. I cast off the tow cable at 3,000 feet and was delighted to find the currents such that in less than five minutes I had soared up 6,000 feet. This soaring at the end of a hop is the only compensation I have for the bumps endured en route. Drops to 3,000 to Rise Again. Such a performance on the part of a really heavy glider, weighted with ad- ditional stressing to withstand towing, speaks well for the shiv’s flying t;unl- ities. I swooped down again to 3,000 feet and rose once more to 6,000 With the exception of the 55 minutes I spent in free flight at Phoenix the first day, this was my most successful soaring exhibition. I could have stayed there all night, so good were the air curients, It was 40 minutes before I came down. Between Syracuse and Buffalo I ex- perienced the toughest tow flying of the entire flight. Twice I began to fear that I might be forced to quit the ship and join the caterpillar club via my parachute. The wind was so strong and_gusty that, nose the Eaglet down as 1 might, at sharper and sharper angles, I could not make it descend until the wind abated. Heavy on Right Wing. ‘This, I fear, strained the control sur- faces. By the time we neared the State capital, the glider was very heavy on the right wing and continued so all the rest of the flight. Had it not.been for the telephone and the co-ordinated flying of plane and glider which the telephone made possible we should never have reached New York on time. At Albany a report stated that at Peekskill the ceiling was only 90 feet. This. coupled with a prediction of rain at New York, was discouraging, but off. we took. It seemed that the weather lifted just a bit to permit our passage, closing in behind us thicker than ever, for things were satisfactory all the way down. At Yonkers it started to_ rain and it was still raining when I cut loose and banked away at 5000 feet to soar down at Van Cortlandt Park. Covers 2,860 Miles, The reception was splendid. In our air-train we covered 2.860 miles in 36 hours and 47 minutes tow time, whjch is a little less than the 40 hours we thought it would require. Along the way we gave gliding demon- strations totalling 7 hours and 12 minutes. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) HAWKS FINISHES NEW YORK FLIGHT Glider Pilot Puts Motorless Craft Down ih Park on Schedule. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 7.—Capt. Frank M. Hawks, holder of the East and West transcontinental speed records, enjoyed the added distinction today of being the first aviator to pilot a glider from coast to coast. Arriving exactly on schedule, he set his small motorless plane down in Van Cortlandt Park al 4 p.m. yesterday to complete a flight from San Diego. Towed at the end of a 500-foot cable behind a power plane, he made the transcontinental trip in six and one- half days, with 36 hours of actual fly- ing: time. One mishap marred the trip. At Tucson, Ariz, on the second day of the flight, a gust of wind parted the towline as the aerfal train was getting Ve ‘To make up for the delay, ‘engineer,” J. D. Jernigin, pulled him 710 miles, two days' scheduled flight, the next day. . A crowd of 15,000 stood in the rain to see the finish of the 3,000-mile glider trip. A fleet of Army planes circles in formation above the park as an aerial reception committee. The last leg of the trip was made from Buffalo, N. Y., with stops at Syra- cuse and Albany. The reception committee was headed by Bronx Borough President Henry Bruckner and Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen. He brought a small palm tree, the gift of Mayor Harry C. Clark of San Diego, which was planted near where he landed. He said the last day's flight had been the worst for weather and flying condi- tions, with rain and high winds.

ICE BREAK-UP AIDS MENACED ESKIMOS | | Natives Take to Kayaks to Fish as Famine Threatens Village. By the Associated Press. POINT BARROW, Alaska, April 7.— With the Northern sky slightly alight all night, nearly every native man in this Northernmost Alaskan village was out in kayaks early today to fish in the harbor. A sudden change in wind and current finally opened the choked harbor yes- terday, but the religion of the natives forbade them from hunting or fishing on Sunday. and they wers forced to wait until midnight. They waited impatiently, for famine loomed mnear because of the exodus of land game from this region and the long weeks that the harbor has been choked with ice.

A holiday will be declared so that public employes may devote their full time to the census 8 FRONTFOOT BASS FOR TAXATION I Court Condemns Assessment Method Under Borland Plan as Unfair. The “front-foot basis” of assessment under the Borland amendment received another jolt today when the District Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Justice Josiah A. Van Orsdel, declared it illegal even as to an assessment for curbing. The court affirmed the action |of the District Supreme Court, which had cancelled an assessment of $6,- 618.27 against the property known as Friendship and belonging to the estate ot John R. McLean, which included a curbing assessment, and also cancelled a similar assessment against the prop- erty of Christian Heurich for the pav- ing of Wisconsin avenue. As to the paving assessments the court declared they present vivid il- lustrations of the impossibility of equit- ably applying the tront-foot rule in assessments oI property abutting on the avenues of this cny. ‘The corporation counsel’s office con- tended that the curbing is separate and distinct from the paving of the street and is neither part oi the sidewalk nor_part of the street. The proposed assessment for Wiscon- sin avenue, the court points out, pre- sents the 1dentical condition as arose in the matter of Rhode Island avenue, where the court some years ago set aside assessments as arbitrary, unequal and discrimmnatory. Reference to the plats, the court points out, discloses that the lots and blocks on Wisconsin avenue, in the vicinity of the McLean tract, owing to the diagonal course ot the avenue through the city squares, results in creating irregular, triangu- lar lots and tractional blocks, abutting on the avenue, to which a front-foot rule cannot equitably be. applied. PLANE MAIL PICK-UP TEST SET AT NORFOLK Transfer While in Flight to Be Tried Out at Airport There. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., April 7.—A device to transfer mail or cargo to a plane in flight will be tested at the Grand Cen- tral Air Terminals here Wednesday aft- ernoon, it was announced yesterday. The device is the development of an earlier patent issued to Godfrey L. Ca- bot of Boston, who obtained the patent after experiments while stationed at the Hampton Roads Naval Air Station dur- ing the World Way. His purpose at the time was to seek some means of in- creasing the flying radius of airplanes by supplymng them bombs, fuel and other supplies while in flight. The present device, an outgrowth of the Cabot patent, has been in process of manufacture at the plant here of the Whaley Aircraft & Engineering Co. The machine operates on a catapult. Con- tact is made by means of a hook sus- pended from the plane which engages a pick-up cord to Wwhich the mail or cargo to be delivered ta. the plane is at- tached. At the moment the hook en- gages the pick-up cord the catapult is automatically release, discharging the cargo at the same rate of speed the |4, plane is making and along the line of flight.
