A poll of the senate taken last week by the United Press and other newspaper correspondents showed 55 to 22 favoring publicity of senate executive roll calls.

Mallon replied that he had only hoard of two inaccuracies referred *o in senate debate, but that he would, with that exception, challenge Senator Watson's statement. Watson asked if the fact Mallon had the privilege of the senate floor did not make him. in a sense, a guest of the senate. •Not a all.” Mallon said. "I'm sure no newspaper man would accept the privilege of the floor if it prevented him from sending out information which he could otherwise use. i understand T was waiving no rights m accepting the privilege of the floor.” • I want to find out just what are the ethics of the profession." Senator Hiram Bingham (Rep.. Conn) said. He asked Mallon if he had learned something from a senator who asked him not to publish it would he publish it?'* "Os course not. senator." Mallon replied.

Ludlow Asks Chamber of Commerce to Get Busy for New Route, Sv ?■C’l'p'-HotC'irrl Xeiespaper AUifinee WASHINGTON, May 27.—The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies have been urged by Representative Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis, to prepare to fight, for the proposed PittsburghSt. Louis air mail route. Ludlow' said he had obtained a promise that no action would be taken by the postoffice and commerce departments on allotment of the proposed route, until Indianapolis had been given a chance to be heard. The inter-departmental committee on civil aviation recently held a hearing on the proposed PittsburghNew' York route, at. which Postmaster A. L. Behmyer of Cincinnati urged its extension to St. Louis by way of Cincinnati. A committee of St, Louis business men, it is understood had called on the postoffice authorities for a New York-St. Louis mail service. Ludlow pointed out that Indianapolis has one important advantage in campaigning for a place on the route, because the route between Columbus and Dayton already is lighted, and that between Dayton and Indianapolis soon -will be. He said the route by way of Indianapolis w’ould save about fifteen minutes’ flying time as against that though Cincinnati, but that this was considered inconsequential, as compared to other factors. Ludlow's letter was addressed to Paul Richey, president, of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce.

WORLD PRAISE SHOWERED ON AIR CHAMPIONS Robbins and Kelly Enjoying, Rest After Setting New Endurance Mark. 50,000 CHEER FLIERS Split Propeller Ends Sky Feat; Rain Also Is Great Handicap, Sv Lo’i'vt FT. WORTH. Tex., May 27. Their names written in the pages ot aviation history, Reg Robbins. 26-vear-old '"self-made" flier, and Jim Kelly. "23, former cowpuncher. received the plaudits of the world today for accomplishing the greatest aerial endurance excursion in history. The, two men w ere forced to end ! theri refueling endurance flight Sunday when the propeller of their rebuilt cabin monoplane Ft. Worth split and threatened disaster. When they brought their plane to rest on Meacham field, they had been in the air 172 hours and 31 minutes, nearly twenty-two hours greater than the former world’s mark set by the army plane Question Mark. Weary, spattered with oil, unshaven and deafened by the constant rpar of their Wright whirlwind motor, Robbins and Kelly had only regrets that the propeller failed them. They were positive they could have remained aloft at least 300 hours. Mob Charges Down They were engulfed by a cheering ; mob of 50.000 pei-sons who gathered i at the field and threatened to crush them with their enthusiastic acclaim. The two young men had dropped word earlier in the day that they were expecting to land at 4 o’clock and the news flashed through Ft. Worth. Early in the afternoon a crowd started gathering on Meacham field, churned to mud by the rain which had. a great deal to do with the ending of the flight. When the fliers set their plane down at 4:07. the mob surged forward, breaking through police, lines to reach the fliers. Mrs. Robbins and the 5-year-old ; son of the flier and Airs. Kelly, the ex-cowboy's bride of six weeks, were lifted to the shoulders of men in the crowd and carried to the plane. Weeping for joy. the two women embraced their husbands. Kelly describing the enthusiastic kisses from his bride as by far the best record possible. Lady Heath Cheers Then Lady Mary Heath, noted English aviatrix. was in the foreground in stocking feet. Her shoes were pulled off by the mud as she ran to accord the fliers welcome. She carried wreaths which she tossed over the heads of the two men. Still shofv j less, she accompanied the men on a j parade through town. Robbins and Kelly were taken in a police car to their homes, to rest their weary bodies before Ft. Worth accorded them banquets, dinners and other honors to acclaim their feat. ~ „ The men went aloft at 11:33 a. m. Sunday. May 19. They droned around and around Meacham field, the engine of their plane never faltering in its grind. Friday an electric storm broke and the two soared higher, turning toward Dallas, thirty miles away, to escape the storm. But the constant beat of the propeller widened a break which started when the propeller struck a belt buckle and the added struggle against the rain v.'hich started again Saturday night caused it to swell. Finally the vibration became so great as to cause the men to decide that, they would better put an end to their circling. Refuelers Are Praised The refueling crew, K. K. Hoff- I man and H. S. Jones, fled from the j plaudits of the crowd and could not be located. Kelly and Robbins wereloud in their praise of the two. insisting that they deserved as much credit as did the men who remained in air longer than human beings j ever had before. „ As to the Wright whirlwind motor. the two could not praise it high enough. Telling of their flight, they constantly interjected comment on how well the nine-cylindered motor functioned. The motor had carried the plane 50.000 miles before the flight, started. Robbins and Kelly and the refueling crew ■will receive about $12,200 to diride as a result of their flight. The Ft. Worth Chamber of Commerce has raised SIO,OOO for them and they were offered SIOO for every hour over the old record that they were in the air. Fliers Still Up B United Press MINNEAPOLIS. Alay 27.—Gene Shank and Owen Haugland, at- j tempting to better the newly established endurance record of the airplane Ft. Worth, dropped a note from their plane. Miss Ranger, here today at 11:56 a., m.. Central standard time, the end of the first fiftyone hours in the air saying “Everything is swell."’

Entered as Second-Class Matter at Postoffice. Indianapolis
BY ARCH STEINEL Biting into a ham sandwich argument, the Indianapolis police department's molars—its patrolmenhave found tartar sauce for a. filling in the person of a 21-year-old girl who has been arrested three times for selling sandwiches and “just dares the police to arrest her again.” The hot sauce in the department's sandwich is Miss Blanche Allison of 1326 Comer avenue, saleswoman for the W. H. Graham Box Lunch Company. Beech. Grove. Ind. The meat of the argument is whether Miss Allison has the right t,o sell box lunches at Nordyke and Stock streets in front of the Marmon Motor Car Company gate. Girl Claims Right Miss Allison says: “I have the right and I'm going to” as she points to her peddler's badge, “no matter how many times they arrest me.” The police say “nix” and point to a city ordinance that forbids any one selling merchandise with the exception of newspapers at a station on the street. “She must keep moving as she sells.” police assert. “I do keep moving, but they arrest me anyway,” avers Miss Allison as she cited her fourth arrest Friday noon on the year-old charges of speeding and violating a traffic signal. Although the feud betMeen her and the sandwiches and the police department started Mith her first arrest Wednesday, she's beaten the “cops” to the draw,' every morning by selling out her stock before they arrested her. On her fourth arrest Friday noon she lost the decision M'hen her nemesis, Lieutenant Patrick O'Conner, arrived before the motor car employes came out for the lunch hour. Challenges Follce The three changes for sandwich sales, will be tried Wednesday. Police say they have received complaints against peddlers—sandwich and otherwise—blocking the sidewalks and streets in front of the motor car company. They say the multiplicty of sandM'ich sales affidavits against Miss Allison are at the behest of a citizen, and that she’ll be rearrested and placed in jail for every fresh violation. "Not if my bond money holds out,” challenges Miss Allison. HUGHES JR. GETS O.K. Bv United Press WASHINGTON.
