MOYLE AND ALLEN PLANTOHOP TODAY Pacific Fyers Report Wind on Flight From Siberia Made Plane Stand Still. By the Associated Press. NOME, Alasga, September 25.—On the eye of their take-off here on a Projected non-stop flight to Tacoma, ‘Wash., Doan Moyle and Cecil A. Allen, California aviators, last night told of their unsuccessful attempt nearly three weeks ago to fly across the Pacific from | Samushiro Beach; Japan, to Seattle. On landing here Sunday, after flylng from the Siberian coast, they declined 1o relate their experiences, saying they | ‘were awaiting orders from “backers” in | the United States and wers negotiating | var sale of the story to a newspaper synaiéate. But last night they reported that after leaving Samushiro Beach Septem- | ber 7 they flew for 34 hours and bucked | s 100-mile-an-hour wind at the tip of the Aleutian Island chain. Battling the wind, but making no headway, the flyers said, they finally | drifted back to Kiska Island, largest of the Kat Island group, about 800 miles west of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. They | landed on a small adjoining uninhabited | island about 2 miles long to wait for | the storm to subside. | They remained seven days without | f00d other than what they had carried | with them, and no shelter. They took off from the island on the eighth day, | aided by & strong wind, and landed on the Siberian mainland at the fishing village of Miano Pilgino, about 60 miles south of Cape Navarin, whers they got in touch with a Soviet freighter which communicated with the St. Paul Naval Radio Station. The fiyers said they were confident | théy would have had plenty of fuel to reach Seattle in about 45 hours had they not encountered the storm. SURPRISED AT GALE STORY. | Weather Observer Says Reports From Hop Area State Opposite. SEATTLE, September 25 (#).—C. O. Schick, United States weather observer at Boeing Field here, expressed surprise | today when informed Don Moyle and C. A. Allen, California aviators, had| reported encountering a 100-mile an| hour head wind in the Aleutian Islands Wwhile attempting their non-stop flight | from Japan to America. | Schick sald ‘weather reports from | Dutch Harbor, St. Paul Island and| Nome and- from a steamship west of | Dutch Harbof indicated only light ;lnd.! were blowing on both September and 8. The wind varied from 6 miles sn hour at Dutch Harbor to 22 miles per hour at St. Paul Island, north of the Aleutians in Bering Sea, September 7./ September 8 slightly more wind was | reported from the same points, the’| maximum being 28 miles an hour re- ported by the steamer Arthur J. Bald- win in vicinity of Dutch Harbor. ‘While commenting that the Aleutian Island chain is subject to sudden and mmb storms of . considerable nce, Schick said he considered it | remarkable that the flyers should have | encountered so much unfavorable’ wind | only a few hundred miles west of | Dutch Harbor. | BRITON VISITS HOOVER The lord mayor of Reading, England, exchanged felicitations yesterday with President Hoover. Wearing the huge chain of his office, the mayor, Maj. Fred G. Sainsbury, was | Science Tuberculosis Produces Intoxicating Agent. ‘That tuberculosis may & pol- son_which acts’ like alcohol on the brain is the hypothesis advanced to ex- plain the behavior of tuberculosis pa- tients, in the current medical bulletin of the United States' Veterans' Ad- ministration. As the disease advances the patient becomes more and more extroverted, ac- cording to Dr. John W. Turner of the Veterans' Hospital at ., This same extroverting effect is caused by various toxic substances—alcohol, ether and the metabolic products of fatigue. “There are many points of correlation between the behavior of the drunken person, the extrovert and the tubercu- Jous individual” Turner says. “The latter's impulsiveness, going off at & tangent, restlessness and desire for change of climate are rather typical extrovert reactions. The old saying that the consumptive ‘walks into his grave' is lllustoative, Before the days | of rest perioos, tne patients, even in tuberculosis hcspitals, almost literally died on their feet. Like drunken men, they kept going until completely down and out.” Various observations indicate, he says, that the intoxicating agent is a Browln leached out of the dead tubercle acilli.

Beer, wine and repeal of the eight- eenth amendment, in the opinion of Mrs. Clement L. Shaver, vice president of the National Women's Democratic Law Enforcement League, will not “be acceptable to Southern Democrats. The wife of the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee said in a statement today that Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee, “miser- ably failed to catch the vision of the dry South when he proposed beer and wine and repeal of the eighteenth amendment as planks in the next Democratic national platform.” Shouse several days ago gave his views of what should be embodied in the next democratic platform, including proposals for changes in prohibition. If Shouse should give the subject further study, Mrs. Shaver said, “he may come to the correct conclusion that beer and wine would actually re- duce employment by diverting vast sums from the purchase of commodities requiring more labor than the produc- tion of liquor.” bequL 'ihl\'er luig. “real De::crlu" jeve the people have registered their will against liquor and “will stand steadfastly by this decision.
