FLIER READY FOR BERLIN DASH BY AIR Chamberlin Is Expected to Start Atlantic Flight by Late Today. WILL USE BELLANCA Pilot Asks for Report of Weather Conditions; | Winds High. Bn Vnitcd Press ROOSEVELT FIELD, N. Y., June 3. —Thb Bellanca airplane Columbia is ready to attempt a nin-stop flight to Europe, mechanics at the Columbia Aircraft Company’s hangar here today said. At 3 o’clock reports from the Bellanca hangar, from which every one but mechanics was excluded, said the plane would be towed to Roosevelt Field at 4 o’clock and that the start was set for some time between then and 6. Clarence Chamberlin, pilot of the plane, was advised by the weather bureau last night that although a storm then was over the Atlantic and another was expected to develop Sunday night, a calm period satisfactory for flying probably would come between the disturbances. Winds Are High High winds were reported today over Newfoundland and the Grand Banks, making flying hazardous. Over Nova Scotia, however, flying conditions were reported good. No weather conditions had been received up to noon from ships at sea. Chamberln obtained permission of Roosevelt Field authorities today to use the long runway there any time after 4 o’clock this afternoon for a full load take-off. 'lt is the only runway in this vicinity long enough to make safe the start under a heavy & load, and was used by Lindbergh ■ when he left for Paris. * Chamberim will be accompanied on the flight by a pilot-navigator whose name will be announced later, it is understood. He is said to be a former Navy pilot. Holds Endurance Mark The Bellanca plane holds the world’s endurance flight record at fiifty-one hours, and since that mark was established, more than a month ago, it has been preparing for a trans-Atlantic flight. Dissension between Lloyd Bertaud, pilot selected to accompany Chamberlin, delayed the projected flight until after Charles Lindbergh reached Paris, and for a time it appeared that all plans for an Atlantic flight by Chamberlin had been abandoned. Yesterday, however, Chamberlin asked the weather bureau and the Radio Corporation of America to resume the complete reports, of flying conditions over the Atlantic they had furnished while Lindbergh was preparing to start for Paris.

CHAMBER TO FEEL MANAGER ‘PULSE’ Will Commit Itself After JtHie 10 Balloting. Culminating a dispute between William Fortune, civic chairman, and J. W. Esterline, civic committee member, over the “neutrality of the Chamber,” Chamber of Commerce directors today sent out ballots for a referendum vote to "feel the P^ e ” of the membership on the city manager plan. A letter stated that if two-thirds of those voting favored the plan the Chamber would go on record backing it. Ballots must be in by June 10. Esterline, manager leader, scored the Chamber for failure to consider the civic question. Fortune felt the Chamber committee should not commit its membership, but that it should itself express its stand. Asserting manager workers are having no difficulty in obtaining interested audiences, Campaign Chairman Frank E. Gates, declined to debate the manager question with former Mayer Charles W. Jewett. Fred Hoke, former Community Fund president, declared that “the manager movement is interested in economy and efficiency of government and not directed at individuals,” at the Christamore Settlement, Thursday night. Charles F. Coffin, executive chairman, announced another mass meeting will be held before the election on the manager form June 21. BOLSHEVISM HITTING AT U.

COGNAC USED TO SAVE LIFE OF GOODRICH Friend Tells of Cure With Booze, as Governor Lay Near Death. WAS LAST RESORT State Official, Unnamed, Brought Liquor on Doc- 1 tor’s Advice. The life of former Governor James P. Goodrich was saved by the use of cognac, the French form of whisky, when he was near death while Governor. The statement of this fact is made by J. T. Moorman, business associate of Goodrich, his friend of years’ standing, and treasurer of the Republican State committee. Moorman states that he was present when the cognac was brought by a State official, who then was a member of the Goodrich official family, and that he saw it administered under the advice of a physician. Cognac Ordered “I was present, as were others, when the whisky was administered as a last resort,” said Moorman. The State official, who declines to permit the use of his name, substantiates the statement by saying that he obtained two bottles of cognac when he was informed that it was advised as the one remedy which could save the life of Goodrich. Early this week Goodrich stated to a close friend that white he did not know that whisky had been used in his case, as he was in a state of coma at the time, it was ridiculous for any one to take the position that it should not be used if human life could be saved. Goodrich now is out of the city. The statement was made in reply to the claim of the Rev. E. S. Shumaker, head of the Indiana AntiSaloon League. In a formal statement, demanding the resignation of Attorney General Gllliom for violating the dry law to save the lives of his little sons. Mn Shumaker cited the case of Goodrich to show that whisky is never necessary, but that grain alcohol does the work. The State official, also a member of the Goodrich official family, refuses to permit his name to be used, as he does not care to court attention of authorities, even at this late dat,e. Shumaker Gives Statement His declaration was called forth by this rather minute pathological statement of Mr. Shumaker: “There are cases on record, right here in our midst, of pneumonia and typhoid fever, probably as serious, where the patients got well without whisky, and these cases can be easily verified. “One of these is James P. Goodrich, who while Governor of the State, lay for weeks between life and death, with typhoid fever. His vitality became so that heart stimulants had to be administered to keep up his circulation, and they had to fan him vigorously, and his mouth at times had to be forced open with a pair of forceps to pull the dry mufcous out of his throat so that he could breathe. But not a drop of whisky was given him, and he recovered." Official Talks The State official who objects to this record as authentic medical history with former Governor Goodrich as the exhibit, says: "I was told that Governor Goodrich was in a state of coma and that whisky had been suggested as the one possible remedy. I at once obtained two bottles of French cognac, I was told later that they had saved the life of Governor Goodrich.” Dr. Charles W. Sowders. who attended Governor Goodrich, says that professional courtesy prevents him from describing treatment given to any of his patients. In regard to the use of whisky as a medicine in critical cases, Dr. Sowders, who teaches medicine < at the Indiana University School of Medicine, states: “In my work at the University School of Medicine I teach that whisky is a remedy in many cases. It has a real function in medicology notwithstanding what others may say. “At my very first opportunity I will furnish you with a scientific explanation in every day language proving that esters In whisky have a building function which grain alcohol does not possess.”
