SOUTHERN CROSS FILM SHOWN HERE King Carol’s Coronation and‘ Cornell Crew Victory | Are Depicted. ‘The Evening Star Universal News- reel will show today the thrilling sight of the Southern Cross flying over New York City just before dusk and its final | landing at Roosevelt Field after its one- | stop trip from Ireland, on the screen of Warners’ Metropolitan Theater, other | Warner Bros'. theaters and leading pic- ture houses in Maryland and Virginia. ‘Thousands of wildly enthusiastic per- sons drove to the field in order to hail the flyers on their around-the-world flight. They were greeted by city offi- cials of New York; by the British envoy and diplomats of other countries. Make Perfect Landing. The ship made a perfect landing and the aviators stepped out of the cabin to be greeted by friends. Graham McNamee, National Broad- casting Co. star, as the talking reporter, tells of their thrilling battle with fog | and wind before they were able to com- plete their trip across the ocean from West to East. Royalty, the Pope, and other notable persons also take a prominent part in the latest film. King Carol's corona- tion at Bucharest, Rumania, was caught by The Evening Star Universal cam- eraman; as also the presentation of royal colors to Eton College, Reserve Officers’ Training Camp, by King George in the presence of the Queen, Princess Mary and other members of the royal family and high officials of the British government. The Pope is shown at Vatican City, where he was presented with a gold- trimmed car. Other scenes from abroad include the celebration at Yokohama, Japan, of the seventy-second annive sary of the opening of the city as a treaty port; the exodus of citizens from Berlin, Germany, for the seashore re- sorts when a heat wave of 105 degrees hits the city; German cadets being taught nautical maneuvers on a n: ship, which has never seen the wa Million-Dollar Fire Shown. Other thrilling events include a mil- Hon-dollar fire at Woodstock, N. Y.: the intercollegiate shell race on the Hud- son River in which Cornell was the victor, and a swimming contest at San Diego, Calif., in which 150 women and girls took part. Other interesting events add to the entertainment value of the film.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 28.—The New York Times says the estate left by the late Thomas Fortune Ryan, financier. is estimated at a gross value of about $125,000.000. The estimate is based on completion of Federal and State in- heritance tax reports for filing. The estate of Mr. Ryan, who died November 23, 1928, will be the second Jargest to be recorded in New York and probably in the country, the Times said. It was topped only. the paper says, by the $178,893,655 net estate of the late Payne Whitney. The inheritance tax to New York on the Ryan estate will be_about $10,000,000. The financier's representatives are said to have valued his stock holdings at $115,000.000, tobacco shares exceed- ing those of railroad and utility com- panies. Mr. Ryan's bank deposits at the time of his death are figured at about $1,000,- 000. Valuable art works owned by Mr. Ryan in New York and elsewhere are taxable here. This property and furnishings of his various residences brought the estimated valuation of his personal property to $2,000,000.

OCEAN AIR LINES NEAR, SAYS KINGSFORD-SMITH Ton Payloads Will Fly Seas Soon,: He Predicts. BY MAJ. CHARLES KINGSFORD-SMITH, Commander and Chief Pilot of the Airplane Southern Cross. N EW YORK, June 28.—Picking up where I left off yesterday, I am going to dare the role of a prophet, a very foolish thing, perhaps, for an avia- tor to do. However, if we haven't learned something of value for com- merce, the knitting together of peoples in far places, the saving of time in this allotted span and all the other claims that are being made for | ties aviation, then the flights of the Southern Cross over the Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic have been a lot ill spent and needless risk of lives. of energy thrown away, a lot of money But'I am certain that the Southern Cross and its engines and instruments have contributed to the advance of aviation and all that aviation can do. have been convinced by the old plane oceanic flying as commercial transport is just around the corner. I and her three whirlwinds that trans- I believe that it will be an established thing, possibly within a decade. Plane Is Not Far Away. Give us a multi-motored plane that will cruise at 140 miles an hour, that will carry a ton of pay load and that. will fly non-stop for 4,000 miles. that machine with the instruments and radio that we have today. its pilots, above all things, to fly blind for hours at a time. we can fly against d- winds, through across the Atlantic and over the Pacific. Equip ‘Teach Give us this, and fogs and storms and carry a pay load Such a plane is certainly not far away. We can be confident of that because we know what has been accomplished in the last 10 years; even in the last three. Our own Fokker is 5 years old, and there is plenty of kick in her yet. We hope to show “that by -establishing the first non-stop record next Wednes- day across the United States from Roosevelt Field to Oakland Airport, San Francisco, made in a multi-motored transport. We expect to make that flight with the same engines installed by the Wright Co. three years ago—mo- | tors that have flown 800 hours, close to 80,000 miles—and which are still good engines. As a matter of record, the builders wanted me to put in new engines for the transatlantic flight and I refused them, because of my confi- dence in these. Failure Would Have Amazed Him. I would have been astonished if any one of them had failed me over the ocean at any other time in their his- tory. They just keep on turning over, and I expect it of them. A few years ago one couldn’t count on the most carefully made motor to do what these have done and others are doing every day on the air lines of the world Early in the war the engine makers expected engines to need complete overhauls after 15 or 20 hours of use. They said that a 50-hour engine was impossible. It is some step from 20 hours to 800. “When I think of these advances I am sure that I am not overenthusi- astic in my prophecy. Transoceanic flights are regarded by conservative persons as stunts. One flight is unique, two may be called a coincidence. Three and more should be dignified, I think, by the term “habit.” ‘The Southern Cross, in much of her career, has followed the paths whipped by the wings of others. In so doing the old plane has helped to confirm the habit which comes before sched- uled operations. Radio Use Blazes Trail. ‘Without being unduly boastful, I think I can say that the utilization of | radio equipment in radio navigation | aboard our plane has had something of | ploneering value. It has served to| bring to the attention of the world the magnificent work going on quietly and steadily in the laboratories of the world. And the electrical research workers tell us that they are just getting started. Radio has served notice again, as it did in the experi- mental flights for the Guggenheim Fund of Lieut. James Doolittle, that it is preparing to give eyes to the blind in order that communications between man and his neighbors may be unin- terrupted and quickened in dnknesal and storm as well as by day and in fair weather. All of these things, to my mind at least, are evidence that man is going to span the ocean in heavier-than-air craft on regular schedule just as he now crosses the continent by night and | day with mail, express and passengers. | Personal Thrill of Reception. In addition to the pleasure we feel| in what we believe our flights and plane | have accomplished there is, of course, ! the personal thrill that comes to us| from our reception in this country and the aid rendered us on every hand be- | fore starting from Ireland and since our arrival here. in New Foundland, except on a smaller | brightens ‘any occasion at which he is It was just the same |, scale. On_ the eve of our start we re- ceived a thoughtful weather warning from Dr. Kimball and his predictions were borne out in the matter of r visibility, the lack of helping nds and fog. When at last we swung down on! Roosevelt Field and rolled to a stop, the scene from our cockpit window was exciting enough. There, surrounded by a milling band of welcomers, were his excellency, the British Ambassador, Sir | Ronald Lindsay, and members of his staff; and W. M. Macaulay, the charge d'affaires of the Irish Free State, who had flown from Washington to be there. With them were repre- sentatives of the Netherlands and my own Australia, and the committees of welcome for hoth Nassau County, where we landed, and New York City. The story of that welcome has been told, b&l felt that I wanted to mention it also. Praises Radio Phone Calls. More surprises awaited us in New York. On Friday I talked, as if T had been ‘“phoning in neighborhood” with Miss Mary Powell in Melbourne, Australia. ~ This morning, up in Schenectady at the General Electric station, I chatted with my old flying pal, Charles Ulm, over the radio, and Wwith my mother and other friends and relatives. T told her when I would be home, and I assured her that I was through with flying oceans, for the time H bfln?. at least. Some day I'll call her | up from my plane 500 or 1,00 miles away, and tell her what time to have dinner ready. The busiest mayor in the world took time to greet us and warm our hearts with the cordiality of his welcome, and ever ‘since our stay here the members of his committee have waited on us night and day. Friday night, Dr. Kimball and Clar- | ence Chamberlin came up to our rooms for a bit of chat on ocean weather and last night we took advantage of & kind invitation from the Newspaper Club to join wich others in honoring Russell Owen of the Times, chronicler of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition. Frequently since we have been here, Col, Fitzmaurice has dropped in for a chat and a smoke and old Pitz always present. Prepares to Come Here. Today, we expect to meet more friends aboard Mr. Fokker’s yacht and tomorrow we will be off for Washington, high honor for the Southern Cross and her international crew. The old ship has one more job to do. Out at Roosevelt Pield mechanics, with instructions from Vaughan, president of the Wright Co., are giving the engine a quick going over. Wetlnesday morning, if all goes well, the Southern Cross will be off on her last long flight for us. We hope to put her across the Alleghenies, over the prairies. and Great Plains and through the Rockies in about 30 hours. For speed it will be no record, but some- how, I think it will be a fitting climax to a great career for the old ship. If we had time to stop, we certainly would visit friends in Chigago and other centers, but now it looks as though the time limit on our stay in America will make further stops im- possible. We have had a good time and we wish we might stay longer. (Copyright. 1930, throughout the world y the New York 5 - by the ork Times. All rights re.

PARIS, June 2 . — Mrs, nge of o.'i’i%m‘ m. the Anm Star Mother who EXPERTS ESTIMATE - PENSION BILL COST Uncertainty Exists, Though Approximate Figures Cover Five Years. What benefit will come to World War veterans from the substitute pension bill now before the Senate? ‘What will it cost the Government? Both these, questions are answerable only by statistical analysis of probabili- . based on past experience, and, ac- cording to Veterans’ Bureau stafis- ticians, there are no closely analogous precedents. Both increased costs and increased benefits appear to concentrate on two provisions of the pending legis- lation— 1. Eligibility for disability compensa- tion of veterans suffering various de- r’eefl of disability, not the result of will- ul misconduct and not originating in the service. 2. A more liberal procedure in con- necting disabilities with a service origin and granting the higher compensations for such disabilities. Eligibility Prospects. ‘The first may mean that in due time l)u:ucllly every one living who served n the World War will be eligible to re- ceive from $12 to $40 a month with the exception of thuze sufficiently prosper- ous to pay an income tax. It is not an old-age pension, but it is probable that the majority of veterans .iving 30 or 4C years hence will have developed a per- manent organic disability at I 25 per cent disabling, and hence be eilgible for compensation. Veterans' Bureau statisticians have worked out an approximate estimate of the cost in actual paid compensation for the.next five years, based on the Pension Office records of experience with Spanish War veterans who ,be- came elmle for compensation for non- service connected disabilities in 1920. The conditions, however, are not the same. The average age of the World ar veteran today is 38 years. The average age of the Spanish War vet- eran at the time the pension legislation was enacted was 54. The development of disability, of course, varies consider- ably within age brackets. For Various Periods. ‘The last five-year estimate is as fol- lows: Estimated Annual Cost (Monthly Rate $18.00) $25,281,000 55,289,000 68,649,000 74,404,000 80,570,000 04,193,000 Estimates for more than five years become increasingly uncertain, for more and more unknown factors are bound to enter to throw off the calculations. The bureau statisticians have stopped with 1935, but point out that a certain relationship is likely to hold with the amounts paid for service-connected dis- abilities. ~ These have been paid in greatly increased amounts since 1918. The number of claimants will not in- crease greatly as the war goes further and further into the background, and already probably it has passed its peak. This number will be steadily dimin- ished by deaths, but on the other hand the degree of disability and the amount of death payments will increase up to a certain -maximum. ‘The compensations for non-service- connected disabilities will have a par- allel rise, but: the curve is expected to overtake and overlap the other so that eventually the payments under this act may constitute the greatest item. The second of the major provisions of the bill is bound to produce a consid- erable increase in payments for service- connected disabilities, it was stated at the Veterans' Bureau, but there is not enough basis for any reasonably valid statistical estimates. The required proof of service origin for a disability has been progressively liberalized, but still depends largely on medical evi- dence based on scientific procedure. This leaves out a considerable number whose disability probably has some service connection which cannot be definitely proved. Lack of Proper Tests. For example, & boy came home from the war with bad cough and con- sulted some physician. Years later he claimed compensation for tuberculosis originating in the service and the doc- tor first consulted testifies that he came to him with the _;hOU['h :s som? l-!'h}.\: was discharged. e fact remains the doctor did not make certain in- fallible tests which would have made his diagnosis certain and the veteran may have a very difficult time getting his compensation. Under the new pro- vision this absolute scientific proof would not be required. Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans’ Bureau, recently esti- mated on the basis of the payment schedules in force before the present act that in another two decades the payments would come close to the total cost of the war, slightly more than $21,000,000,000. The new legislation is bound to send the figure much higher. Up to date, $1,608,135250 has been paid to veterans in death and disability compensation. There has been a rapid, but irregular, rise from year to year, due to changes in the law. .Starting with 1919, the total expenditures have Disabled 1926, 1928, 1925, $129,597,457; 1927, $173,476,965; $181,799,665; 1029, $188,930,453. ‘The expenditures under this head- ing for April were $17,901,094, which is & fair monthly average for the present In all, approximately 570,000 cl wed, represen only about one-ninth of the men in the Army and Navy during the war.

(Continued From First Page.) and the bill become law without much delay. No one was willing to predict just how long the debate on the veterans’ bill would run in the Senate. The most optimistic placed the vote probably on Tuesday. Some of the opponents of the London naval treaty were mot averse to stringing along the present session of Congress for another week or even more, believing that such a course will in the end make it impos- sible to keep a quorum of the Senate here to dispose of the treaty when the special session is called by the Presi- dent. Should it become necessary to send the veterans’ bill to conference between the two Houses, that also might occasion delay. ‘The administration leadegs are straining every nerve to pass ‘the veterans' bill without the S ubporieRe of the. original vete up) of the original veterans bill, vetoed by the President, are criti- cising the House and the President for agreeing to the new bill, which sets up for the first time a disability pension for World War veterans. Hitherto, the veteran legislation has provided only for ‘“compensation” where disability occured in line of duty or was trace- able to military service. The new bill is straight out pension for disabled veterans of the World War. The critics of the new bill insist that by thus starting so soon a pension system for the 4,500,000 men who served in the World War, fhe House and the Presi- dent laid the ground for heavy pension expenditures within the next few years. Legion Approval Aids. ‘The approval of the new bill given by the American Legion head is ex- pected to facilitate its passage through the Senate; as it undoubtedly aided in bringing a favorable report from the finance committee. After adopting a number of minor amendments and jecting the Walsh-Connally proposal the committee u imously reported the bill to the Senate. The objection made to taking the bill up tomorrow by unanimous consent was made by Senator Norris of Nebraska, who com- plained he had not yet been able to have a printed copy of the committee report before him for consideration. The finance committce amended the House bill by striking out a provision which would have prevented veterans who pay income taxes from receiving the benefits of the proposed pension. Another Senate committee amendment strikes out a provision of the House bill which would deny the benefits of veterans’ legislation to men who hac enlisted after the signing of the Armis- tice, November 11, 1918. About 5.000 men in this class, who now are receiv- ing aid from the Government, would cease to benefit if this provision was enacted into law. Retain 90-Day Clause. ‘The Senate committee retained the | clause in the House bill requiring 90 days’ service for veterans benefiting under its provisions. An effort to have the bill amended so as to R‘Ve;o vet- erans who contracted venereal diseases while in the zervice the benefits of veteran legislation was rejected in the committee orf a tie vote, 9 to 9. The committee accepted an amendment to allow an extension of one year for the perfod within which suits for which war risk insurance claims may be filed. ‘The finance committee reported fa- vorhbly a bill providing for the consoli- dation of all veterans' agencies under one bureau. If enacted into law it will mean the consolidation of the old Pension Bureau with the Veterans’ Bu- reau and the establishment of a new! bureau. ¥ Republican leaders of the Senate and House are seeking to wind up the busi- ness of the present session as early as possible. If they do not get an ad- journment by Thursday night it is like- ly that the session will continue into the following week. Many of the mem- bers of the Senate have made speaking engagements for July 4, and a demand for an adjournment over the national holiday and the week end is ex) d unless Congress can_conclude its labor and quit before the Fourth. There was talk of the possibility of an adjourn- ment Tuesday night or Wednesday. But some of the Senators felt that ‘Thursday would be the earliest possible date of adjournment, depending upon | the final disposition of the veterans’ bill. | SUED FOR $200,000 False Arrest Charged Against Mayor and Police and Publie Works Official in Recall Row. | By the Associated Press. | DETROIT, June 28.—Damage suits | for $200,000 were filed in Circuit Court today against Mayor Charles Bowles, John Gillesple, commissioner of public works, and Police Commissioner Thomas C.

Drama. P Vigorous Partisanship and Personal Friendliness Score Triumph. BY WILLIAM HARD. Mr. Speaker Longworth was this last week the pivotal character in the national melodrama. He leaped into the yawning and yelping breach of the veterans' relief controversy, and became the human hinge on which the Re- publicans in the House of Representa- tives swung back from all outdoors to the presidential reservation. The serv- ice he thus rendered to his party is amply recognized by both parties. If in the fleld of letter there is such a thing as the book of the week, Mr. Long- worth is politically today the man of the week. The seeing and stating of his place in American politics is much impeded by the humor with which he chooses to surround himself. The statesman who laughs, like the judge who jests, is a more familiar, and accordingly a more understood, character in British public life than in ours. € Our advanced democracy long ago gave to our public men a superior de- termination to walk before the electorate with seriousness and solemnity. With 80 many eyes upon them they felt that they could ill afford the flippancy with which a famous British chanceilor of the exchequer once excused some er- ror of his in his official formulation of the British budget by exclaiming to the gentlemen of the House of Commons: “Oh, everybody knows that I'm very bad at figures.” Mr. Longworth is about our only survjving American statesman who seems bent publicly upon proving that flippancy and competency may reside in the same character. Personnel and Procedure. When Mr. Longworth's flippancy is stripped from him, there is pdl.loemyed underneath it an amazing knowledge of the two subjects essentially necessary to a speaker. One of those subjects is the personnel of the House of Repre- sentatives. The other is its procedure. Mr. Longworth has studied his fel- low members ‘till he knows to the last and most refined degree of nicety the exact changes of the weather of their temperaments and moods. He has studied the practical aspects of the parliamentary of the House until he knows every smallest as well as every largest device through which those temperaments and moods can be managed. The House contains many members who are greater scholars than Mr. Longworth on the tariff, on the income tax, on farm relief. It contains nobody who is superior to him as a scholar of the House itself. more—he knows it sympathetically. He admires it. He loves it. He thinks it SPEAKER LONGWORTH. superior to any other legislative body in the -world. He thinks it superior. most especially, to the legislative body which sits in the opposite wing of the American Capitol. His comment for that other body is an embracing epit- ome of all of the other 434 con- tempts for it in the membership of the House. Mr. Longworth thoroughly represents the House, both in its com- panionableness toward itself and in its combativeness toward the Senate. It A3 BLOOM AND GRANT WILL TOUR EUROPE Representative Sails to Aid Plan for Bicentennial Abroad. In order to place the plans and pur- poses of the George Wi n Bi- centennial Commission before American clubs, Chambers of Commerce, and similar organizations of Americans residing abroad, Representative 8ol Bloom, an associate director with Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, of the Bicentennial Commission, expects to make an exten- sive tour of Europe this Summer. Mr. Bloom sailed yesterday and intends to visit many of the large and small cities in the principal European countries be- fore he returns early in September. He Will call upon prominent American business representatives and address their various organizations to induce them to participate in the great Amer- ican celebration of the 200th anni- versary of the birth of George Wash- ington in 1932. Just as it is proposed to arouse the American people at home to hold local, State and regional cele- brations in all parts of the United States, so it is intended that Americans everywhere shall have equal opportunity to participate in their own groups and | associations wherever located. Mr. Bloom is thoroughly acquainted with the leaders of American business in Europe. He has been active in pro- is hardly too much to say that psycho- logically he is an embodiment of the House, Feeling Toward Speaker. ‘The House, unlike the Senate, adores | vigorous political partisanship, inter. mingled with hearty persomal friend ship. Mr. Longworth. in the Speaker's | chair, can look straight through a Democrat whom he sees but will not | recognize for the presentation of a | troublesome motion, and he can imme- diately and subsequently give to the House the pleasure of observing an un- | interrupted jocular intimacy between | himself and Mr. Garner, the leader of | the Democratic opposition. The Senate | is a legislative body and a fracas. Mr. Longworth and Mr. Garner both real- ize that the House is a legislative body and a club, The key to the enigma which is fur- nished by Mr. Longworth's social light- | ness in his off hours and his arduous industriousness in his legislative busi- ness hours is, perhaps, that he is what | is vulgarly called a ‘“‘clubman” both | times. He has penetrated and mas- tered the club life of the House of Rep- resentatives in a manner not surpassed by any of his recorded and remembered | predecessors in the Speaker's office The other night in the Republican con- ference of the House regarding veter- ans’ relief, when Mr. Longworth roce from his seat on the floor to address the conference there was no public reason to applaud him. The public was not present. Nevertheless, all members present not only applauded but stood to do it. The sum of his success is that he has carried to an almost unexampled height the art of being a fellow club member. moting American commercial interests all over the world. While the dominant note of his appeal will be based upon the patriotic sentiment that enshrines the character and achievements of George Washington, Mr. Bloom will point out the debt which Americans everywhere owe to Washington, the pioneer American commercial en- thusiast, and the founder of our na- tional policy of promoting overseas trade as the basis of national prosperity. .

By the Associated Press NEW YORK, June 28.—Henry Mor- genthau, former Ambassador to Turkey, | returned today on the liner Americ: from a tour of Europe and issued statement attacking the tariff and de- | claring that foreign countries were pre- | paring to retaliate, He said his observations in Vienna, Paris, Berlin, London and other Euro. pean cities indicated that foreign busi- ness greatly resented the new American | tariff. “Practically all foreign countries are suffering yet in the readjustment fol- lowing the war,” he said. “The United States became a creditor nation after the war, and has failed to assume full responsibility as a world power. “Europeans are resenting our conduct and are planning to retaliate. They have learned the strength of the boy- cott and are organizing to apply it against our productions. It will benefit the United States very little if a new manufacturer sells more goods through the exclusion of Europe's goods if it re- | sults in Europe's refusing to purchase our products.” New York Naval Militia Men Sel-| dom Drill for Public. NEW YORK (N.AN.A).—Odd and almost quaint in its enormous way is the training ship for the New York Naval Militia that hugs the Hudson River's shore just below Riverside drive. Children have been known fni ask if it can be Noah's ark. | " Because of the popular drive and the bus rides, especially in Summer, the ship is seen by many, but the lads who train there seldom have a chance to show their skill in drill. They have| much the status of the National Guard, and yet their dress and manner are that of the sailors of the United States fleet. In the first week of this June they pa- raded in full-dress uniform, and along with the National Guard, for the first time since the World War. It was a| revival of the old Governor's day fes-| tivities. (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- er Alliance.)
