Bu United Press DETROIT, July 23.—Soaring fanwise from Detroit, three fliers will set out within two weeks to clinch the victory of man over the air. The big oceans have taken decisive beatings recently, and now men are out to beat the rest of the world and hang up records for their children to shoot at. An around-the-world flight in fifteen days or less, a non-stop flight from Georgia across the equator and over South America’s jungles and mountains, and a four-stop flight from here to Australia will be undertaken. Seek Speed Record , Next week, E. P. Schlee and Billy Brock will fly to New York, pick up anew motor and head for Harbor Grace, N. F., to start a globe girdling flight to beat the record of | twenty-eight days. A day or two later Paul Redfern, a bpyish-man of 25, will fly to Glynn Isla, Ga., load up sandwiches for a couple of days flying and start a solo trip to Rio De Janeiro, a distance of more than 4,200 miles. It will be the longest non-stop flight ever attempted and aviation experts believe it will be the hardest. He will encounter torrid heat and freezing cold. Australia Hop Longer " Frederick A. Giles, 29, who recently arrived here from Sydney, announced the Australian flight today. It will be 11,151 miles and the longest leg, from Hawaii to Brisbane, is 4,709 miles, further even than the trip Redfern plans to make. It will start Aug. 11, with a field of planes competing in the Dole race from San Francisco to Hawaii. Giles’ undertaking is his own idea, but is financed by a Detroit contractor who was born in Australia. The first stop will be, of course, at San Francisco, and he hopes to make the flight from here to the coast without stopping, covering the 2,100 miles in twenty-one hours. Then he intends to win the Dole . race to Hawaii. From Honolulu he will point his Detroit’s Good Will Messenger toward Brisbane, Australia, a distance of 4,709 miles.

BOOM HOOVER IF CAL SHOULD GET GOLD FEET Cabinet Man’s Admirers Work Quietly for Him Despite Stand for Coolidge. BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, July 23.—National political leaders do not believe Herbert Hoover has eliminated himself from presidential con- i stderation because of his declaration that h expects to see President Coolidge in the White House for four more years. In Hoover's explanation that he could not take any other attitude because of his “sense of loyalty," they discern the glow of the spark of ambition for which he is noted. Regarded as Leader They predicate their belief he may be a serious candidate only on Coolidge’s refusal to run, but they continue to regard him as one of the leading possibilities in that event. Certain it is that the Cabinet officer’s group of admirers scattered throughout the country will not abandon their efforts on his behalf, despite their attitude of waiting untl Mr. Coolidge discloses his own plans. It is known that the influential group which recently tried to entice Charles Evans Hughes back into the political arena have turned to Hoover as a possible Coolidge substitute. Included In this list are some of the political strategists of the East. Advised to Keep Silence Secretary Hoover’s friends have advised him to maintain silence with regard to his hopes and ambitions. Until yesterday he followed that advice, despite the attempt of former Senator Calder of New York to force him into the open by publicly quoting Hoover as declaring for Coolidge.

HALTS ATTACK I ON U. S. POLICT BT VENEZUELAN Green Rebukes Speaker oil Monroe Doctrine; Nica- | ragua Protests. Bu United Press • WASHINGTON, July 23.—An attack upon the Monroe doctrine by Venezuelan Delegate Rafelo Martinez before the Pan-American Federation of Labor conference today was peremptorily stopped by President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, presiding officer who ruled Martinez out of order and rebuked him. Private American banking interests are “strangling” the people of Nicaragua in an effort to obtain control of the Nicaraguan National Bank, Salomon De La Selva, Nicaraguan Federation of Labor delegate, told the federation. The American people, De La Selva said, do not know “what is going on in Nicaragua.” Many Reasons Given “One day they are told thai what Is being done In Nicaragua is to safeguard American lives and property and the next day that it is to safeguard rights to a Nicaraguan canal,” he said. “The day after, bolshevik conditions In Latin America, with headquarters in Mexico, flare up in the minds of those who control American property aa the reason.” “Now appeals are being made to American public opinion to uphold the dignity of American armed forces. But the real reason has not been told. “Every revolution or political uprising in Nicaragua and every intervention in Nicaragua has crystallized in a loan contract whereby American bankers obtained tha profit that should accrue to Nicaraguan workers. Asa result of tha recent liberal revolution, an arrangement is being made whereby the government of Nicaragua loses to certain bankers its civil and political rights. Resolution Is Adopted "These are the only reasons for trie interventions in Nicaragua.” De La Selva spoke on a resolution Introduced by the Nicaraguan delegation which provided that the Pan-American Federation request its executive committee to try to prevent the United States Government from assuming the position toward Nicaragua now held by private bankers. The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, also provides that the Pan-American body shall give Its support to the Nicaraguan Federation in activities against foreigners.
