NINE DEAD IN OCEAN FLIGHTS BY AMERICANS Commerce Department Is Striving to Reduce Danger of Sea Hops. Bu Untied Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Loss of nine and possibly sixteen American lives in sixteen American longdistance flight attempts, today stirred Commerce Department and National Aeronautic Association officials to make oceanic flying safer by stricter requirem°rics for motors, planes and radio equipment The successful flights to France and Germany and the four from San Francisco and Hawaii convince experts here that the era of transoceanic service is coming, but that much must yet be done before such service is safe for passengers. Sixteen Projects Cited A U- ited Press compilation of the American flights since Commander John Rodgers, in a PN-9 flying boat, was lost for nine days in the Pacific on a Hawaiian flight attempt, showed the following: Sixteen American flight projects have been attempted by thirty-four planes; there have been twenty-two or more crashes, not all disastrous; nine lives have been lost—sixteen of the seven lost Pacific fliers do not return—and thirteen planes bearing twenty-seven aviators reached their destinations or places near by. Two men were killed in the FonckCv.rtin New York to Paris flight attempt; two in the Davis-Wooster planse designed for the same journey; two at Buenos Aires in the Army’s South American goodwill Jpurney; and three in the preliminaries to the Dole Hawaiian flight. Successful Exploits The successful American air exploits were: The flight of the NC-4 Navy flying boat, Commander A. C. Read, across the Atlantic by way of the Azores, two similar boats being forced down; the Lindbergh, Cham-berlin-Levine and Byrd-Acosta trans-Atlantic flights; the Byrd north polar flight; the United States Army’s world. South American and Hawaiian flights; the Smith-Bronte Hawaiian flight, and the Goebel and Jensen flights in the Dole air derby. The Commerce Department exercised its full power in insisting on sufficient gas being taken for the Dole flight, and also on tested navigation instruments, with cooperation of aeronautic association officials, who sponsored the flight and imposed safety restrictions. Experts Examine Planes Aviation experts are investigating the distance flights projected now with the expectation of requiring proper fuel capacities for the flights contemplated and load to be carried, and eauipment for the journey attempted, including accurate navigation facilities and adequate radio receiving and perhaps sending equipment. Extent of the Commerce Department’s authority over such flights is not known, but officials today indicated that they expected all such ships to be properly licensed anc’ flown by pilots licensed under the Federal civil aviation law.

He had planned his route carefully and had food cached as deep in the recess as he had dared previously to advance.

Sad Millions Await Sacco Death Flash Massachusetts Electric Shot Will Ring ’Round World Tonight.

Bu United Press Public opinion in all parts of the world was being subjected today to the culminating phases of seven years of unprecedented world-wide demonstration against the death sentence of the State of Massachusetts on Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Not in modem times has the fate of two humble men caused such widespread unrest. Virtually every foreign embassy of the United States has received threats from terrorists. The number of speeches, meetings and printed words motivated by sympathy for the men has passeci beyond all computation. Many Heads Broken Heads have been broken in half the capitals of the world because Massachusetts found Sacco and Vanzetti guilty of murder and demanded they death. Scarcely aj capital of a civilized State has escaped, at least one instance of bomb throwing which was attributed to sympathizers with the condemned men. There have been threats of a boycott throughout Europe against American goods if the men die. Liberals of all ranks of society, including many persons of eminence in the arts, sciences and p litics have joined in urging that th< men were condemned unfairly. Thousands of persons have marched in protest parades. Other thousands have adopted resolutions. The movement in favor of the two men extends everywhere, although, of course, it Is far from unanimous. No one has attempted to predict just what would be the reaction if Sacco and Vanzetti die soon after midnight tonight. Like California Case California produced an analagous case several years ago when Tom Mooney, Rena Mooney, Israel Weinberg and Warren K. Billings were tried for the "preparedness parade dynamiting.” A suitcase full of dynamite exploded at the corner of Stuart and Market Sts., San Francisco, during a parade in 1916. Twenty-two persons were killed. Mooney was sentenced to death, his wife was freed and the other two were sentenced to* life imprisonment. Protest meetings took place in many countries. There were threats and speeches. Two weeks before Mooney was to have died Governor Stephens commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. Mooney, Weinberg and Billings a e still in prison.

G. 0. P. LEADER ASKSCALTOBE MORE DEFINITE

Tells President He Should Unscramble Eggs in Party Basket. Times Washinaton Bureau. 1.122 Sew York Avenue WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—President Coolidge has been asked by a prominent Republican leader of the Senate to unscrambe the presidential eggs in the G. O. P. basket by a more definite statement of his position on running again, it was learned today . The Senate spokesman took this step to prevent a mad scramble for the nomination among a dozen favorite sons after conferring with party leaders in and outside Congress. In a rather critical letter' the Senator did not question the sincerity of the President’s “do not choose” statement, but he pointed out that its cryptical character had tended to plunge party and candidates into embarrassment. Asks New Statement He suggested a plain statement of whether the President meant absolute abdication, or whether there was a possibility he would cor. sent to run again should there be any demand for another term for him. The Senator is said to have explained at length the hpndic'ips under which various presidential possibilities are suffering. He pointed out that, though it is almost a month since Coolidge’s utterance, no candidate has felt free to announce openly that he seeks the nomination. While not naming names, he is understood to have instanced predicaments strikingly j similar to those in which Hoover, Longworth and Dawes find themselves. Says Situation Unfair Men of this type the letter hinted, cannot come out in the open because of their association with the President as members of his administration. The situation, the Old Guafd senator continued, is unfair to them and a handicap to the party in preparing for the 1928 campaign. The latter takes the position the President will run if drafted.
