HEFLIN REVIVES " RELIGIOLS 1SSUE Alabama Somator's Craiser Fag Amminont Baton, 68 to 10 ‘Washingon, Feb. 6 UM—Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama, revived an old proposal of his yesterday— that the flying of church pennant above the American flag during church services at sea be prohibited —the result being that the religious issue which has been dormant for the most part at this session of con- gress was also revived. Heflin's proposal, made as an amendment 4e the cruiser bill was badly beaten, the vote being 68 to 10, but before the roll call there were sharp exchanges, and at one time after tilts between Heflin and Senator Bruce of Maryland, Senator Moses of New Hampshire, who was presiding, asked the clerk to read the senate rule prohibiting personal exchanges between senators. Bruce Charges Klan After Heflin offered the amend- | ment, Senator Bruce charged that it was inspired by the Ku Klux Klan. Heflin vigorously denied this but he retorted that Bruce's statement was inspired by the Knights of Colwm- bus. The senate became unusually silent as Senator Walsh, democral Massachusetts, rose to protest that Heflin's proposal was an attack | against the emblem of God. As the argument grew hotter, Senator Heflin declared that if Bruce wanted him to go on record he would do so and said that he (Heflin) objected to the church pennant because he believed it was the flag of the TRoman Catholic church. This brought Senator Borah of Idaho, into a discussion. Borah declared he had no objection to the Heflin amendment originally but “in view of the debate,” he wanted a roll eall. “I hope there arec cnough red tlooded. upstanding Americans here to vote on this,” Heflin shouted. “I don't think the color of the hlood counts.” shot back Borah and | the vote followed. Heflin Attacks Bruce During his interchanges Bruce, Heflin accuscd the M sepator of bringing the religious is- sue into the debate and character- ized Bruce as the *“mouthpiece of the Knights of Columbus.” Bruce got to his feet and told the Alabama senator: “You have no right to speak in that manner after being able to speak at my gener- osit; Heflin had overspoken his time and had received unanimous | consent to continue. “The true moral quality of the senator from Alabama now comes out,” Bruce shouted. Heflin and Bruce were only a few feet apart at this time but both be- came quiet when Moses rapped loudly for order and had the rule prohibiting personal exchanges reud. Rruce was not the only one who heecame involved in an argument with Heflin. B8enator Gerry, demo- crat. Rhode Island, who was defeat- ed for re-clection last fall, objected to the amendment, insisting that the croms of the chaplain’s flag was not s Roman cress but was adepted from the flag used in the Briti h Davy. “Whena 1 assalled the Cathelic program in the senate last spring,” Heflin said, “the senator from Rhode Island came to the Catholics’ rescue and I predicted them he would be defeated.” SEES .S, LEADING | WORLD FRIENDSHP Stanley High Believes This Country Has Great Mission Declaring that “Christianity net only leads people to believe them- selves but to believe in their fellow men,” Stanley High, foreign corre- spondent, mission worker and stu- dent in international affairs, deliv- ered a lecture on “What the World is Thinking™ before the members of the Woman's club, at the First Con- gregational church chapel yesterday afternoon, Non-whites outnumber the whites in this world approximately two to one and the problem their new spirit presents is not to be met any longer with force and subjection, he said. Its proper treatment is through friendly assistance and direction along the paths which it should pursue if the good of all is to be attained. If this apparent force is undirected, as is the case now, fit can take the form of reprisal ugainst the whites, such as is ex- hibited in the many uprisings in the Orient. Or as Mr. High related it can follow the course directed by Christianity. America Is largely re- sponsible for the new spirit found among the non-whites and they are moved by two important things| |emanating from this country, demo- |cracy «nd Christianity. . Contact between whites and the | non-whites as exemplified through the missions is one of the very few Instances where such meetings have not harmed the non-whites and have | if anything, brought them benefit, he | declared. This relationship between the whites and non-whites, Mr. High said, offers vast possibuities. It pro- vides the opening through which America can lend a guiding hand for the new spirit among the non- whites. Toward this end, all can| play a common part, namely foster- | ing Christianity among the non-| whites. Postal Clerk’s Loot Is Found in Cellar Newburyport, Mass., Feb, 6 (®— | A novel buried treasure, worth $3,- | 650 and including forks, Knives, cpoons, toy electric trains and a lemon fork, was found in the cellar | of a substitute postal clerk here ac- cording to a report of post office in- spectors yesterday. | The inspectors were investigating the alleged theft of toy electric trains by Edward W.

Frank Hawks and Os- car Grubb as one of the most dar- ing feats in aviation's annals. Eighteen hours, 21 minutes and 59 seconds after they left Los An- geles, the fllers brought their Lock- heed-Vega down in a graceful spiral here, %o better by 36 minutes and one second the record of Art Goebel and his Yankee Doodle. Today the full story of the terrific battle which Hawks and Grubb waged against seemingly impossible odds became known. It was a tale largely of Grubb, the mechanic, jammed into & narrow cabin, groggy from gasoline fumes, cutting up empty fuel cans with a pair of tin- ner's shears so that he might have room enough to pump gasoline into the tanks. Cold and Hungry Behind him in the cockpit sat the fur-clad Hawks, hungry and chilled, pitting his plane against the speed of the winds and his motor against the power of the storms. When the plane came to a stop on the Long Island field, Grubb stag- gered from the cabin, cramped and still dazed from the gasoline fumes. He gulped air into his lungs and was soon normal again. Hawks clamped his lips on & cigarette, swung his leg over the ockpit and delivered the following erse account of the 2,700-mile flight: “We had bad winds almost all the way across—wind, clouds, rain, sleet and snow. We hit the weather at Roswell, N. M., and never got out of it until we hit West Virginia. All the time 1 was flying between 8,000 and 14,000 feet, trying to get away from the weather. “Qver West Virginia it looked worse for us. I came down through a hole trying to find good weather close to the ground. There wasn't any and it looked like there wouldn't be any. There was nothing under us but forests. Sleet Covers Wings “My wings had begun to coat with sleet when I was over New Jersey and T veered south of my course in an effort to fly around the rain and between the cloud layers where 1 could fly safely. “The motor worked perfectly. I would have made it three hours sooner with decent weather, but there were times when I didn’t know | whether we would ever land at all.” Aviators who scanned weather maps dubjously yesterday as they received reports of filers being down all over the middle west, were able to add details to Hawks' modest and scanty account of the flight. They told how he went over, un- der, around and through clouds ana sleet; of the tremendous demand from the mails between 1923 and 1926, it is alleged. *The New Buick—The New Seyle” | made on both plane and pilot when {in one superb ~ cffort they hurdled Drive before you buy---- To assure maximum satisfaction 'with your t—take the common method of driving before buying! next car—to obtsin finest performance and fullest en- match Buick power, NEW BRITAIN DAILY miles of gale extending frem the fringe of Tezas up threugh In- diany.

Hawks, stripped of his raccoon coat and fur boots, appeared in a HERALD, WEDNESDAY, neatly-creased business suit, bur, nished oxfords and Immaculate spats.

Hangs Himself Across " Road From His Home Waterbury, Feb. ¢ (PM—Joseph Fretts, 18, of Bantam, hanged him- self on a tree across the road from his home yesterday in a fit of des- pondency because he could not find work. Fretts is sald to have spent some time seeking work in Water- bury. He took a tow rope from the gar- age, climbed up the tree, tied the rope to a limb about 25 feet from |the ground, placed the other end around his neck and jumped.

FEBRUARY 6, 1929, OPERATION FATAL T0 BREMEN FLIER Baron Yoo Hueneleld Snccumbs in Hospital at Berlin Berlin, Feb. § (UP)—Baron Gun- ther, Von Huenefeld, the man whe wrote poetry to keep up the nerve of his two companions and himsell en their hazardous westward crées- ing of the Atlantic less than a year ago, died in a Berlin hospital last night. Death came at 10 p. m. from “shock” after physicians announced a third operation for stomach disor- der had proved successful. Von Huenefeld was a monarchist and a close friend of the former Crown Prince of Germany. Affer the revolution. he accompanied the Crown Prince into exile. Slender, stern faced and always weariny a monocle, Baron Ven Huenefeld was not the characteristic aviator, Painting, poetry and play- writing were his hobbies until he developed a sudden interest in avia- tion and proposed a westward flight trom Germany to the United States. Went as “Extra Weight” Although all previous attempts had failed, the Baron persuaded Capt. Hermann Koehl, German navi- gator, and Capt. James Fitzmaurice, Irish pilot, to accompany him in the Bremen on a flight when he financ- ed. At that fime he knew nothing of airplane operation, and went along as extra weight with a pistol, a pencil and a pad of paper iharing a rear cockpit with him. “Who knows?" he replied with a shrug when some asked him why he carried the pistol as he hoarded the Bremen at Baldonnel airport, Dub- lin, to start the westward flight. During the long hours over the Atlantic he wrote poetry which he recited to the two men charged with operation of the plane. The poems, but more the composure he evinced in writing them, kept Koehl! and Fitsmaurioe cheerful. Atter the Bremen was partially wrecked in landing on Greenely Is. 1and last April 13, and the three fliers wero taken to the United States for & sories of ovations, Von Huenefeld returned to Germany and became a pilot himself. Flles to Far East A long flight to the Far East, India, China and Japsa was his only other air venture on a big scale, and it was ended when the plane wag damaged in a crash at Tokie. He returned to Germany by train. Baron Von Huenefeld was expects ed to become a leader in German commercial aviation, but stomach disorders, for which he had had two operations without relief, recur. . red and he was not able to withe stand the shock of the third operae tion. ‘The Baron died in West SBanitare jum where former President Ebert, of Germany, and Hugo 8tinnes, German capitalist, also died.
