DONALDSON DENIED SANGTION OF FLIGHT Refueling Endurance Appeal Balked by P[an to Change Crew in Air. Ruling that the proposal of Capt. John O. Donaldson, only District of Co- lumbia war ace, and a group of asso- ciates to conduct a novel refueling en- durance flight at New York by chang- ing crews of the planes in flight, is un- necessarily hazardous and would be pro- ductive of no real good to aviation, Gil- bert G. Budwig, director of air regula- tion of the Department of Commerce, today told Donaldson that the depart- ment would not authorize the attempt. Donaldson flew here from New York this morning in one of two planes especially equipped as endurance planes for the proposed flight and personally requested Department of Commerce sanction for the flight. “I told Donaldson that the Depart- ment of Commerce did not look favor- ably upon his plan to change pilots in the air.” Budwig said. “At his request I told him the matter would be taken up for further consideration, but unless his plans are materially changed the flight will not be sanctioned by the Government.” Believes Disaster Would Follow. ‘The department, Mr. Budwig said, eonsiders the changing of pilots as stunt which is liable to end in disaster and which would reflect discredit on aeronautics. If Donaldson and his as- sociates abandon the plan to change pilots and made the flights as a straight refueling endurance effort, the flight will be sanctioned, Mr. Budwig said. Donaldson went directly from the Department of Commerce to Washing- ton Airport, following the conference, and took off shortly after 1 p.m. for Roosevelt Pield, N. Y. to report the failure of his mission to his associates. It had been planned, if the Depart- ment of Commerce granted the waiver, to send two endurance planes into the air at the same time from Roosevelt Field, N. Y. Both planes will be re- fueled in flight in the conventional manner by a refueling plane. The novel feature of the plan, it has been an- nounced, is to change crews of the en- durance planes at regular intervals, The endurance plane would lower a rope ladder and thé refueling plane would mapeuver into position under the ladder 80 the relief pilots could climb up. The lots being relieved would drop over- rd and descend in their parachutes. The plane flown here by Capt. Don- aldson is a special Stinson Detroiter, powered with a Lycoming engine, “Catwalks” have been built to the motor so members of the crew may make adjustments and minor repairs in flight. Special lubrication tubes, adjustable spark plugs, pressure oiling system, tanks and gasoline intake sys- tem have been built in. A duplicate of this plane is at Roose- | velt Field and the refueling ship is of | the same type except for the equipment. | G0OD ROADS LAUDED AS FRIENDSHIP AID Former Governor of Arkansas Urzes Convention Delegates to Ask U.

LOS ANGELES ,July 8.—Harry Lang- don, screen comedian, owes no love debt to Thomas J. O'Brien, an engraver, whose dl wife he married, the Superior Court decided yesterday. A judgment in favor of Langdon was returne din O'Brien’s suit to collect on three promissory notes totaling $11,500 which the actor admitted giving O'Brien to forestall $250,000 alienation of affections suit in 1929, ‘The comedian’s contention that he had not stolen the love of Mrs. Helen Langdon was supported by the court. Langdon married the former Mrs. O’Brien in 1929, following her divorce from the engraver in 1928. ‘The court also agreed with Mrs. Langdon's claim that O'Brien had killed her love for him before she met Langdon in 1923, Langdon was justified in seeking a compromise of the alienation suit be- cause of his position in motion pictures, the court held. The actor said publicity attending such a suit would have ruined his film career. In addition (o the $11,500 in notes, Langdon gove O'Brien $15,000 in cash. e court said the statute of limita- tions prevented Langdon from recover- $15,000, but indicated, except for s, & ju nt would have been re- turned a t O'Brien in the actor’ countersuit.
