Flyer to| Land at Noon Today for Brief Rest. UNFAVORABLE WEATHER IS REPORTED IN RUSSIA Plane Gains 4 Hours on Post-Gatty Record by Not Stopping at Harbor Grace. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, June 4 (Sunday)- Following the Lindbergh trail across | the perilous Atlantic, Jimmy Mattern, Texas birdman, presumably was near- | ing the coast of Ireland early today | on his solo globe girdling adventure. At the rate he flew through the daylight hours after lifting his plane from the earth here at 4:20 am. (E. 8. T.) yesterday, darkness should have met him almost half way across the open sea with the greensward of Le Bourget Field, Paris, under his wheels for lunch there today. He last was sighted over the Wadham Islands, extreme northeastern outpost | of Newfoundland. Favorable winds aided him through the daylight hours | as he averaged 180 miles an hour on | the first 7 of 27 hours he alloted him- self for the Paris leg of the air voyage. By not landing at Harbor Grace—tne customary stopping point for fiyers be- fore they attempt the Atlantic—Mat- tern gained almost four hours’ advan- tage on the round-the-world record of 8 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes set by Wiley Post and Harold Gatty in 1931 Expected in Paris at Noon. Mattern’s first scheduled stop is Paris, which he expects to reach within 27 hours. Then, after five hours’ sleep, straight on to Moscow, dipping over the Tempelhof Airdrome in Berlin en route. Word from Paris indicated he | ‘was expected there by noon tomorrow. | But first there was fog and rain along the Irish coast to battle. The bullet-shaped plane, resembling & mighty eagle, with its wings dappled in red, white and blue, carries no radio, and further word of Mattern’s progress east from Newfoundland must come from ships at sea until he noses over Ireland. Only at Clare, regarded as a likely spot for Mattern to strike the coast, ‘were weather conditions fair for flying along the East Atlantic coastline. Else- where, there was rain and bad visibility. Irish officials early in the day or- dered eivic guards along the seal d to maintain a close watch. “I'll be back in a week,” the San Angelo trap drummer-turned-aviator cried out to a small crowd of well wish- ers as he climbed into his plane at Floyd Bennett Field and inaugurated the 1933 transoceanic flying season. The ship carried 700 gallons of gaso- line—sufficient to remain aloft for 28 hours. Its cruising speed is 150 miles an hour, pushed up to around 170 with fair winds. Ship Lifts Easily. ‘The 600-horsepower engine lifted the ship easily on the take-off. Mattern circled the field and headed to the northeast as the dawn broke. With his speedy arrival over New- foundland, Mattern not only gained an advantage on the Post-Gatty record, but was well ahead of the attemst he and Bennett Griffin made in July last year in the same airplane, On this fiight, making a stop at Harbor Grace, Mattern and Griffin landed in Berlin in 31 hours and 39 minutes elapsed | time—three hours ahead of the Po&t-| Gatty log. | Their hopes then were dashed to ground. The plane crashed in & bog along the Russian frontier. The Century of Progress, rebuilt after the smash, was first owned by Carl Cromwell, San Angelo oil operator, for whom Mattern served as pilot for se?- eral years. | For two weeks Mattern has awaited favorable weather conditions for his flight. Shortly after midnight Dr. James Kimball, the Government me- | teorologist who has advised many trans- atlantic fiyers, gave the word. AS SESSION BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Danger that the Glass-Steagall bank reform bill may fail of passage at the present special session of Congress was seen last night. This would mean postponement for another year of legislation designed to strengthen the banking system; to di- vorce national banks from their “af- filiates” engaged in securities business; [to compel private banks like that of J. P. Morgan & Co. to become either | banks of depesit or investment houses; to lay drastic rules against the use of the resources of the Federal Reserve banks for speculative purposes on the stock market. Push for Adjournment. The danger of fallure of the bank bill would not be so great if the con- gressionial leaders and the President were not driving hard for an adjourn- ment of the present session by next Saturday, or certainly during the com- ing week.

SENATE MAY CHECK POWER OF MORGAN Disclosures of Firm’s Control Over Industry Stir Move for Legislation. By the Assoclated Press. Legislation to prevent the concentra- tion into a few hands of control of in- dustry and finance is being seriously studied by members of the Senate Bank- ing Committee as a result of the dis- closures in the investigation of J. P. Morgan & Co. ‘While the committee itself has taken no formal action in this direction, indi- vidual members said yesterday it would be considered and that meanwhile they were giving thought to ways of setting up limitations. Although most Senators on the com- mittee agreed the inquiry has disclosed no violations of law, several of them said it had raised the question in their minds of how far it was wise to permit one institution to go in extending its control over industry through financial means. Specific Plan Lacking. Despite the undercurrent of talk among the committee members, no spe- cific legislative proposal was advanced, and the committeemen said they were not yet ready to discuss it publicly. Chairman Fletcher said the committee would take up the question of legisla- tion when the inquiry was concluded, but that it was not yet time to do so, because further evidence bearing on the situation would be presented.

Amid cries of “bad faith” and “re- pudiation” the Senate yesterday gave final congressional approval to the ad- ministration’s resolution permitting payment of all contracts in legal tender money. An overwhelming coalition of Demo- crats and Western Republicans drove through by a vote of 48 to 20 the meas- ure requested by the administration, eliminating the gold payment require- ment from all contracts, public and pri- | vate, either present or future. This means that war debts, mortgages and Liberty bonds, as well as all other governmental and private obligations, may be settled in legal tender money, obviating the requirement that gold shall be used. ‘The resolution had already passed the House and needs only the signatures of Vice President Garner and speaker; Rainey before going to the White House.

Shortly before the man chosen by the Chief Executive to wield the extraor- dinary powers contained in the bill went before the meeting of several hundred manufacturers here, resolutions had been approved insisting upon modi- fications and these demands remained unchanged. The industrialists applauded Gen. Johnson vigorously after his character- istically hard-hitting speech explaining the purposes of the bill, however, and an officer of the association said “he had sold himself 100 per cent as ad- ministrator.” Green Assails Association. Meanwhile, President Willilam Green of the American Federation of Labor and Robert L.

For it _were: Walsh, Bailey and Lon- ergan, Democrats, and Keyes, Metcalf, Hastings apd Walcott, Re- publicans. After representations were laid be- fore the commiltee by the State and the bill the construction program. Harrison said he was working on a revision of his proposal for re-eract- ment of the levy of one-tenth of 1 per cent on the fair value of capital stock so as to graduate the tax upward as the stock enhanced in value and thus make it conform somewhat to the ex- cess profits tax. Estimates $80,000,000 Revenue. He estimated the one-tenth of 1 per cent would raise $80,000,000 of the $220,000,000 needed for interest and sinking fund in financing the $3,300,- 000,000 construction bond issue. Other taxes and estimates of revenue in his substitute are: Tax on dividends deducted at source, $70,000,000. Administrative changes to prevent private bankers from deducting losses | on stocks and bonds held for two years or less from ordirary income, and de- nying members of a pannershlg the privilege of charging off distributive shares of partnership losses, $15,000,000. Gasoline tax increase of one-half of 1 cent a gallon, $62,000,000. Among amendments added today by the committee was one to apportion the $400,000,000 road grants to States on the basis of the present Federal aid law—one-third each on the basis of population, area and existing road mileage. This would give greater consideration to the smaller populated States, as un- der the House provision the apportion- ment would be on the basis of one- half on population and one-quarter each on area and mileage.
