By the Associated Press. SAN JOSE, Calif., September 30.— J. K. von Althaus, war-time member lof the air eircus of Baron von Richto- fen, German ace, announced yesterday | to cetermine which one will fly their Stinson monopiane from Honolulu to San Francisco next month. Von Althaus, who described the flight |as a commercial venture, said those {besides himself who might gain the piloting position: for the 2,100-mile trip were: Miss Victorine Lederer, 25, licensed aviatrix, who arrived here re- cently from Roosevelt Field, N. Y.; Roy Metz and J. V. Hyde, who have been overhauling the ship, and Hudson Mead, until recently one of the pro- prietors of the San Jose Airport. Von Althaus, who has had 1§ years' flying experience, said it was the hope of the group to realize enough from the stamp collectors for carrying mail on the flight to cover expenses. The group will leave shortly for Hon- olulu with the plane, Von Althaus said. ‘The ship will be equippe¢! to carry 500 gallons of gas. The plane, which has been in use a year and a half here for carrying pas- {sengers, is powered with a Wright J-5 as been comipletely recon- ditiored for the flight. Test flights are to b made soon.

Great Men Whistle ‘Moron’ Theory Into; Scientific Limbo | Einstein Among Eminent | Who Pipe Tunes From Puckered Lips. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, September 30.—Whis- | tling, an “unmistakable sign of the moron,” in the epinion of Dr. Charles Gray Shaw, professor of philosophy at New York University, is indulged in on occasion by at least some of the world's great men, & survey showed yesterday. Over the wires from official Washing- ton whistled the first reactionary com- ment to Dr. Shaw's declaration of Mon- day that “no great or successful man ever whistled.” “Hoover, Hughe8, Mellon and Secre- tary Lamont,” said the dispatch, “have not been heard to whistle in late years.” In his denunciation of the practice, Dr. Shaw demanded: “Can you think of President Hoover whistling? Can you think of Einstein or Edison or” Mussolini tuning up to ‘Dancing With Tears in My Eyes?’ No!” And yesterday the cables yielded up the following in rapid succession: “Einstein occasionally whistles, fre- quently fiddles.” “Mussolini whistles and has a fine ear for music.” Again the Washington wires said: “Secretaries Wilbur, Brown and Hyde { at the Carlton Hotel by the National Capital Dahlia and Iris Society. left is & basket of leverett dahlias exhibited by the Barcroft, Va., Garden Club, ns, exhibited by E.

NEW YORK, September 30.—After a lapse of several weeks, conferences on the plan for welding Eastern rail- roads into four great systems have been resumed by representatives of the Penn- sylvania, New York Central and Bal- timore & Ohio and the so-called Van Sweringen lines. It was reported in Wall Street today that further progress has been made toward reaching a complete accord on the plan which has been under consid- eration for several ycars and another meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. Tt was learned that a meeting had been held yesterday. In the interval since the last session the carriers are reported to have been actively acquiring stocks needed in their consolidation program. Taking advantage of the low prices prevailing, New York Central added a block of Delaware, Lackawanna & Western stock. It seeks the road to give it an originating anthracite carrier in the Eastern ¢old flelds and a line through Central Pennsylvania. is contingent also on obtaining a small amount of trackage rights. The Lack- on the New York Central's main line between Buffalo and New York. One of the matters which the con- ferences are attempting to iron out concerns the request of the Pennsyl- vania for trackage rights over the New York, Chicago & St. Louis (Nickel Plate) of the Van Sweringen system, along the south shore of Lake Erie. The New York Central's opposition is said to be the stumbling block, as the Van Sweringens are said to be willing to grant the Pennsylvania’s request. The main points of contention in the latest stage of negotiations concern all but the Baltimore & Ohio. The oth- er conferees have agreed to the B. & O. h:ving the carriers it has requested and the B. & O. is reported to be pro- ceeding steadily toward making the merger a reality.
