STEVENS TONAKE ECLPSE PHOTES Substratosphere Flight in Peru Planned by Army , Air Corps Officer. Maj. Albert W. Stevens, Army Air Corps, regarded as the world fore- | most aerial photographer, will be one | of the members of a flight into the substratosphere next Tuesday near Chimbote, Peru, to observe and photo- graph the total eclipse of the sun, it was announced here today. The flight is to be made at the re- quest of a number of scientific organi- Zations by a twin-engined Pan-Ameri- can-Grace Airways airliner to an alti- tude of 28000 to 30,000 feet. Most of the eclipse path will lie over the Pacific Ocean. It will begin on the coast of Peru and cross tiny Canton Island, in the mid-Pacific, where a National Geographic Society-Navy expedition is preparing for the event. From an altitude of 30,000 feet, it is anticipated, it will be possible to obtain a clear photographic record of the development of the eclipse. Al- though Maj. Stevens previously has made an aerial photograph of an eclipse, this will be the first attempt to make such a record from the edge of the stratosphere. The shadow of the eclipse first will appear near Chimbote at 5:21 pm. June 8 and is expected tc last until sunset Maj of the Stevens, who was in command Army Air Corps-National Geo- graphic Society stratosphere balloon Explort was assigned to the eclipse flight at the request of the American Museum of Natural His- tory. As a result of his balloon flight, during which he made the first and most complete set of photographs from the stratosphere, Maj. Stevens is co- holder of the world altitude record of 72.395 feet. The flight will be in charge of Capt. C. R. Disher, veteran of five years of service on the Pan-American Andean route. The twin-winged airliner which is to be used for the flight will be prepared by removing the win- dows and doors from one side of the fuselage to permit unimpeded pho- tography and operation of apparatus for a study of cosmic ray intensities. Oxygen apparatus will be required for the crew and observers. e LAWYERS TO DRAFT PROSECUTION ETHICS Code for Defense Also to Be Out- lined for First Time. BT the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 1.—The New ‘York County Criminal Courts Bar As- sociation announced last night the or- ganization of a committee of distin- guished figures in the legal field to draw up a code of ethics for criminal prosecution and defense. Robert Daru, president of the associ- | ation, said the project was one “which | has never before been attempted in the | history of the legal profession in this | eountry.” Questions the committee will con- sider are such as “What constitutes proper advice to persons before they are charged with crime and at what point the giving of advice or the ac- ceptance of a retainer might * * ¢ convert a criminal lawyer into a ‘law- yer criminal?’ " “How long does the district attor- ney remain the attorney for all the people, including a defendant or pro- spective defendant, and at what point in the proceedings does a district at- torney become solely an advocate for the prosecution’s case?” Daru said. “Does this happen after indictment? Is his duty the same’ during a prelimi- nary investigation when there is in- sufficient proof to warrant any accu- sation? When he tries a case before a petty jury, is he ethically required to point out the flaws in the people's case which he may know and which the defendant's counsel may not be able to see?” Among the lawyers, judges and pros- ecutors comprising the committee are Supreme Court Justice Charles Po- letti, Prof. George H. Dession ofethe Yale Law School, District Attorney William C. Dodge, Charles A. Winter, California lawyer, and United States Attorneys Lamar Hardy and Leo Hickey.
