PUTNAM SETS NEW AR RECORDS; D0-X AT AZORES Former Amelia Earhart Ends Hop to Ireland in 14 Hours and 54 Minutes GERMAN PLANE EN ROUTE TO SWITZERLAND BASE Two Perilous Ocean Journeys Fin- isked on Anniversary of Lind- bergh Flight. By the Associated Press. A young American matron and a band of German birdmen wrote shining pages of aviation history yesterday. Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam became the first woman to fly the North Atlantic alona and inscribed her name second to that of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh in ocean flying. She became also the first person to fly the ocean twice in a plane. ‘The Amelia Earhart of many previous nerial exploits brought her crimson-and- gold monoplane down in a grassy plain at Culmore, Northern Ireland, at 7:45 a.m., Eastern standard time, after a hop from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, in 14 hours and 54 minutes. Capt. Frederick Christiansen and his gallant crew put the flying boat DO-X down at Horta, in the Azores, at 7:55 pm, Eastern standard time, at the end of a flight from Holyrood, Newfound- 1and, which began at 3 am. The DO-X thus completed its first overwater span toward its home base in Switzerland. The fifth anniversary of “Slim” Lind- bergh's epochal flight from New York to Paris was marked by a single tragedy. In Rome, Capt. George Endres, who flew the Atlantic in 1931, was killed in a short service flight while attending a convention of transatlantic birdmen. In Wilmington, Del, Capt. J. Erroll Boyd, also a transatlantic flyer, an- nounced he would attempt a solo round- the-world flight in his airplane Colum- bia. CONQUERED FOG AND FIRE.

Miss Goldsmith won the title in the ninth National Oratorical Contest finals in Constitution Hall last night, when a board of judges gave her first place in a fleld of six contenders. The new champion, daughter of Mrs. F. Serlin Goldsmith and a senior in the Benja- min Franklin High School of Los An- geles, won her title with a six-minute prepared oration on “Our Constitution, Culmination of Centuries,” and a four- minute extemporaneous speech on “The Albany Plan.” John H. Jarman, jr, 16-year-old Oklahoma City entrant, won second place and the position of official alter- nate. His prepared speech was on “Preservation of Liberty Under the Constitution” and his extemporaneous address on “Habeas Corpus.” John P. Ansley Third. John P. Ansley, 17, of Birmingham, Ala,, took third place with a memorized speech, “Liberty Under the Constitu- tion,” and an extempore address, “The British Trade Policy Which Provoked the Revolution.” ‘Washington's entrant, representing the District and neighboring counties of Maryland and Virginia, was Miss Minnie Sadle of Business High School. Miss Sadle made a strong bid for vic- tory and the audience approved her efforts. The other contestants were John J. Scanlon, 17, Springfield, Mass., and Miss Muriel Herzstein, 16, New York City.

With President Hoover and the | country demanding prompt action on the revenue bill to balance the budflfli of the Government the Senate begins | tomorrow another round in its long fight over “tariff” taxes inserted in the revenue bill by a “coalition.” ‘The end of the struggle is by no means in sight. Although the coali- | tion has succeeded in writing into the | bill import taxes on ofl and coal, there | are still pending the Finance Commit- | tee amendments proposing import duties | on lumber and copper. Furthermore, | Senator Tydings of Maryland and Sena- | tor Norris of Nebraska, foes of the | tariff taxes, are proposing to offer other tariff amendments which may prolong the fight. Tydings has 500 tariff amendments, and Norris is threatening to offer the old debenture farm relief plan as an amendment to the bill. l Senator Trammell of Florida, Demo- crat, has pending an amendment to the lumber tax which would levy an import tax of 8 cents a 100 pounds on phosphate rock. | Hull Offers Amendment. A strong opponent of the tariff taxes included in the revenue bill, Senator | Hull of Tennessee has offered an | amendment designed to lower tariff rates in existing law. His amendment provides that after June 30, in all cases where duties exceed 40 per cent of the value one-fifth shall be deducted, but that the deductions shall not lower the tariff duties below 40 per cent of the value of the commodity or its ad valorem equivalent. The coalition has been successful, so far, in defending the revenue bill as it came from the Senate Finance Commit- tee, containing the tariff taxes. If it can hold together, and some of the leaders believe it can, the revenue bill is due to go through the Senate in pretty much the shape it was reported to the Senate. Prediction was made by one of the Democratic leaders last night, I however, that it would be June 1 before it could be finally passed by the Sen- ate and sent to conference with the House, The fight over the revenue bill in the Senate is by no means ended. Although he was defeated last week in his effort to amend the bill by increasing normal and surtax rates on incomes, Senator Couzens of Michigan is planning to re- new the fight. He changed his vote from “no” to “aye” when the roll was| called in the Senate, so that he would be in a position to open up the matter of increased income tax rates again. Regarded as Alternatives. The fear of some of those supporting | the bill is that Senators opposing the ) tariff taxes may become so incensed | they will vote to strike from the bill many of the special excise taxes, there- by making it necessary to find revenue from other sources.

Walsh of Massachusetts. Hope of completing action on the revenue bill, the economy progrem and the relief program, not to mention the general appropriation bills, in time to bring about an adjournment of Congress before the opening of the Republican National Convention, June 14, in Chi- cago, has practically been abandoned by congressional leaders.

During the course of a blistering at- tack upon “so-called farm léaders,” Peter B. Carey, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, yesterday said six | members of his organization could dis- pose of all the Farm Board's wheat for cash “at a steadily advancing price.” “There is a tremendous demand for American hard wheat right now,” his statement sald. “I could appoint a committee of six members selected from our membership, who in a short time and with absolutely no drain on the taxpayer, could and would dispose of all of the Government's wheat at & steadily advancing price with the in- evitable favorable reflection on the general condition of the country.” “I believe wheat should and would advance if the Federal Farm Board were forced by Congress to desist at once from their senseless efforts, which have so far resulted in practically de- stroying the free, open, liquid grain markets which the farmer of this country has hitherto enjoyed,” he said. Open Markets “All But Abolished.” “It is a sorry tale that the so-called farm leadership will have to carry home when Congress adjourns. They have all but abolished the open, free and competitive markets, which required 75 years of intelligent effort by sane and experienced men to establish. “In its place they have substituted the lowest prices in history, which in turn have all but completely under- mined the very foundations of the Nation’s prosperity. “Such interference with normal business as is now contemplated by the Jones bill, the McNary bill and the Strong bill; make only for more bureau- cracy, more Federal employes and lower prices.” He referred to bills pending in Con- giu d‘"m - lun': t i commodity exc] o g glflflonll farm relief into ect. p “It is to be devoutly hoped that farm leaders who all these years get Washington this Summer, the farm- ers will ask why they have been de- prived of their markets,” he continued.
