FLIGHT T0 BOLIVIA BARRED TOFLYERS Ten U. S. Aviators, Four Well Known Here, Are Grounded in Peru. (Continued From First Page.) had foreseen an unpleasant situation should the planes touch the soil of Chile, which is eager to maintain neutrality in the war between Bolivia and Paraguay. ‘The men and airplanes havg been grounded through the revocation by the Department of Commerce of all licenses held by the party on the charge that they have violated inter- national treaty by entering Peru with- out diplomatic permission. Eugene L. Vidal, director of Air Commerce, at the request of the State Department, last night cabled to the 10 men an official notice of the revo- cation of their licenses and notifica- tion that they are subject to fine. ‘They were called upon to make a full explanation, which probably will be handled through diplomatic channels. The order automatically prohibits fly- ing by any of the members of the party or the operation of any of the airplanes. & The grounded airmen, according to Commerce and State Department rec- ords are: Huestis “Hughey” Wells, leader of the expedition; Earl Smith, William Alexander, Robert Supplee and Cornelius C. B Burmood, trans- port pilots; Hubert Huntington, navi- gator; Wayne Cannon, assistant navi- &a Joha Johansen, airplane and engine mechanic; F. E. Grady, radio chief, and E. R. Salazar, mechanic helper. Flew Newspaper Route. Wells, leader of the expedition, for- merly was engaged in flying news- papers from New York to Washing- ton and flew between the citles nightly for many months. His latest address was given as New York. Earl Smith, former Ludington Air- lines pilot flying between Washing- ton and New York, has operated an airplane repair shop at Washington Airport for more than a year. His home is near Alexandria, Va., his ad- dress being listed as R. F. D. No. 2, Box 141. Smith was seriously injured in an airplane crash at Baltimore about three years ago. William Alexander last year ob- tained permission for a projected “good will” flight from the United States to Moscow, which has not yet been made. Alexander, a former | Brunswick, Ga, man, now lives in Brooklyn, N. Y. He visited here re- cently in connection with the pro- posed trip. Gray, radio man for the flight, until three months ago was radio| chief for Eastern Air Lines, with| headquarters in Atlanta. He also is well known here. Salazar until recently was em-| ployed in Washington by Eastern Air Lines. He is a former South Amer- ican and was to act as interpreter on the trip. Buyer Not Named. The State Department was in- formed that after the shipment of the bombers to Bolivia had been prohibited the planes were converted into transport airplanes by the ad- dition of passenger seats and were sold to an unnamed individual. Wells and his comrades then organized a ‘Tampa-New Orleans-Tampico Airlines Corp., with headquarters in New York, took over the planes and nego- tiated with the State and Commerce Departments for permission to make s survey trip for the purpose of estab- lishing a foreign airline. Their company, which immediately became known as the “T. N. T.” Air- line, a few weeks ago requested per- mission to fly from New Orledns to David, Panama, and' thence, non- stop across the Pacific to Africa on the Pacific coast of Bolivia. ‘The State Department, it is said, was reluctant to grant permission in view of the delicate diplomatic situ- ation involved and the desire of this Government to maintain strict neu- trality. Assurances were required of Wells that the planes would not be sold to Bolivia and the Bolivian con- sul general in New York, it was said, gave this Government assurances that the planes would not be seized, if they entered Bolivia. Given Specific Warning. On March 25 the Commerce De- partment granted Wells and his party permission to make the flight to David and Arica. It was said he was given specific warning that if he de- parted from this route he must ob- tain special permission to pass over any other country and that he could not land anywhere other than in Panama or Bolivia. When the planes landed at Lima on ‘Wednesday in violation of their per- mission and of diplomatic regulations, the American officials there, upon complaint from Peruvian officials, cabled notice of the violation to Washington. e IT’S MICHIGAN AVENUE, CHICAGOANS ARE TOLD Parks Official Says It Is Time Natives of City Knew Thor- oughfare’'s Name. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 5—It's Michigan avenue—not boulevard. For years persons in various walks of life have been referring to Chicago’s most famous thoroughfare as boule- vard, and no wonder. Some of the street signs say “avenue” and some say “boulevard.” George T. Dono- ghue, superintendent of the Chicago park district, settled the matter yes- terday when he said: “It’s time Chicagoans should know the official name of their most famous boulevard—I mean avenue.

PLEA TO SHIFT BUS ROUTE IS REJECTED Utilities Commission Refuses to Remove Line Off Thirteenth Street. The Public Utilities Commission has rejected a petition asking that the new Takoma express rush-hour bus line be shifted off Thirteenth street. . The line is to be placed in operation April 15. The petition was offered by 400 residents of Thirteenth street, who voiced fears the addition of the rush- hour busses would increase traffic haz- ards near the Roosevelt and Central High Schocls. Since 1,000 automobiles now pass near Roosevelt High School and 2,000 go by Central High School in rush hours, the commission said it failed to see how the addition of eight busses would greatly change the condition. The commission has ordered the Capital Transit Co. to change the stopping point for busses of the Bu- reau of Engraving loop line from Twelfth street between F and G streets to Twelfth street between G and H streets.

Y., April 5 (#).— The townspeople called off their cele- bration for Charles Jeanette, 98, and his 64-year-old bride yesterday be- cause he came back home alone.

Brain Halved by Surgeon Carries On, Mayo Doctor Says By the Associated Press. OLEVELAND, April 5.—The wonders @of the human brain, and possibly the processes of thought themselves, are shown from a new angle by brain surgery reported to the American Col- lege of Surgeons here by Winchell M. Oraig, M. D., of the Mayo Clinic. The entire half of a brain has been removed, and the other half has picked up the extra burden and car- ried on. Half of the frontal portion, where the higher mentality center is supposed to be seated, has been re- moved, without the least reduction of intellectual ability. These are not the ordinary animal experiments. They are not guesses about people who died. They are rec- sections of their brains. But the losses did not seriously handicap them. The operations described were for removal of brain tumors. The princi- pal objective of the talk was to im- press medical men with a fact not fully known even in the profession, that these brain operations are no longer highly fatal, but now have a death rate “surprisingly low ” Ten years ago the death rate in brain operations was more than 50 per cent. The greater success today, Dr, Craig said, is due to earlier diag- nosis and better condition of patients ‘when operated upon. Numerous conditions of affected memory, personality, speech, move- ment, headaches, nausea and difficulty ords of those who got well. These patients lost s fairly wide variety of » ¥ in vision are sometimes due to brain tumors. l CROSBY Crosby gives you more than you pay for.
