WEISS MAY BE NAMED JUDGE OF CITY COURT Rated Over Markey by McNutt, Is Report; Rotation Plan Considered. BV .JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer Monthly rotation of the four municipal courts and probability that Senator Jacob Weiss or Joseph T. Markey will receive a judge appoint- j ment are the latest developments ! in Marion county’s unsettled judi : j cial situation. With Judge Thomas E. Garvin, of court one, scheduled to resign by j May 1, Governor Paul V. McNutt is | reported to have decided definitely , on the rotation plan and is trying to J reduce the large field of eligibles for j the “Municipal Futurity Handicap.” j The judgeship lineup is in disar- ' ray because of the continued illness j of Judge Clifton R. Cameron, of | Municipal court three. Absent from | the bench for approximately two j months and his health reported greatly impaired. Cameron's resignation has been expected for some j time. Bradshaw First in Line When it first became apparent that Cameron might not resume his post, Wilfred Bradshaw, deputy prosecutor in charge of juvenile court cases, was scheduled to succeed him. However, if Garvin resigns to resume private practice as he has informed the governor he intends to do, Bradshaw probably will receive the court one appointment and Weiss or Markey the next one open. Both Weiss and Markey have adequate claims to McNutt rewards and for vastly different reasons. The former was high in the administration councils during the 1933 legislature. Most of the McNutt proposals w r ere “jake with Weiss”! and he worked night and day in smoothing their progress through the upper house. Made Outstanding Record In addition, Weiss made an outstanding record in the house in the 1931 regular and 1932 special sessions, sponsoring home owner relief and dry repeal legislation and crusading against extortionate petty loan rates. Markey enters the picture in a different light. An attorney, Markey was the first Democratic candidate to announce for mayor, and he is reported somewhat ruffled by the passage of the administration “skipelection” bill which postponed all municipal elections one year. Offer of a judgeship might assuage Markey's feelings. Thus, with two municipal benches likely to be vacant soon, the lineup stands: Bradshaw, Weiss and Markey.

MILLION IN GOLD IS CARGO ON AIR JOURNEY

Tourists Cross Equator, Get 'Credentials,’ on Long Pan-American Jump

Thi* it the fifth of six articles by C. R. Allen on his round South America flight via Pan American Airways. Todar he tells of his trip from Antofagasta, Chile, to the Canal Zone. BY C. B. ALLEN Times Special Writer WELL, on top of everything else, a water-front fire broke out in Antofagasta, Chile, last night. Sirens shrieked; flames licked the sky. So, naturally, I rolled out of my bed in the Grand Hotel Londres and joined the rest of the town in watching the block of warehouses crumble. It was a lot more thrilling than crossing the Andes. And that’s why I'm drowsy this morning as I climb aboard the Pan-American Airways plane with Pilot Harold McMickle to continue the homestretch flight of my ’round South America excursion. A fellow passenger is Robert Melniker, whose brother, Harold, assisted Samuel Seabury in his investigation of New York City affairs. He’s South American representative of Metro-Goldwvn-Mayer and travels most of the continent by air. We fly over scores of nitrate plants, all but two of which seem to be deserted. Victims of scientific progress, the destitute nitrate workers are leaving for fertile fields in the south. Then we reach the Arica-Tacna territory, famous for the boundary dispute settled by the Pershing commission. It is not long now before we get a full view of the snow-swathed mountain El Misti, the lush valley at its feet and have settled down on the field at Arequipa, Peru—--7.600 feet above sea level. Immediately two men, carrying a ridiculously small wooden box, stagger toward the plane. They are about to fall into the cabin with their burden when McMickle halts them. "Wait till I put some boards on the floor, so's that stuff will distribute its weight,” he orders them. “Floors on these Fords are fairly thin. Stuff might break through if we concentrate the whole load in one spot.” For the first time I notice that armed men are guarding it. I look astonished at McMickle. “Why, it’s gold,” he replies to my unasked question. “We carry lots of it in this country. Safest way there is to ship it. Pretty good load today, too. Right around a half million dollars’ worth.” St St St AND you may well imagine that I kept my eyes on these four little boxes, which is the closest I’ll ever come to the gold standard, as we shoot up toward the clouds. But drowsiness is an irresistible imp, and dreamily I turn to watch the neatly irrigated countryside below. I see four horses treading ’round and ’round

in a circular pit, evidently tramping out grain. It’s the “drillando,” the steward tells me—the Peruvian equivalent of our threshing machine. Now we’re heading back toward the Pacific after the brief foray into the foothills of the Andes, and it’s all downhill flying until our next stop at Camana, where we hit a rough field in a sizzling strip of desert by the sea. Successively we land at Chala, a twenty-house-and-pier village, whence cattle raised in the interior are shipped, and at lea, where our constantly increasing load becomes a maximum. When the steward finally has packed them all in I count noses of the crew. There are fifteen adults, a babe in arms, not to

mention the perambulator at back of the cabin. Yet I realize that we have been losing as well as adding weight, for we’ve taken on no fuel since leaving Arica. So, apparently, does our giant Ford monoplane. She lifts her big cabin load—gold, perambulator and all—without faltering. And almost buoyantly she carries us into Canete, set in a flourishing expanse of cotton fields, where ox teams are ploughing and two planes sit in a little airport waiting to dust the crop with insect powder from the air. ana AT Lima, Peru, Harold McMickle says good-by as he turns south again, and I am introduced to Steve Dunn, who would take me on a Sikorsky amphibian into Talara.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1933

Lima is a city of contrasts. Modern steel and concrete structures, anchored to withstand earthquakes, vis with old Spanish buildings—homes with carved doors and overhanging balconies, mouldering convents, the cathedral foundsd by Pizarro in 1535, now sheltering his bones. In the morning fog that crept In from the sea I leave Lima with Kenneth C. Hawkins, division manager of the line, and we see Paramonga fortress, built by the Incas and now in ruins, and Guanape island, fertilizer center. The fiery, turbulent wind over Sechura desert tosses the Sikorsky like a feather up the coast and on to Piura. To Piura, yes,

and like a golden bird cross hard, barren land to Talara, Peruvian oil capital, where thousands of gaunt derricks throwing skinny shadows make a melancholy scene. Here Dunn turns us over to pilot C. R. Disher. It’s all w r ater flying from now on, says pilot Disher, so we’ll have smoother air. We shan’t need wheels, except to taxi ashore, until we get to Panama. a a a TSLANDS flash beneath us— Santa Clara, in the Gulf of Guayaquil: Puna, anchored in the mouth of the Guayas river, thirty miles up where we land at Guayaquil, chief seaport of Ecuador.

Llamas under airplane wing at Lima. Below, certificate C. B. Allen received when he crossed equator. Clouds hang low, rain drops in giant globules. So we flee onward to Santa Elena across the peninsula to spend the night. To spend the night in a tiny hotel on a beach that echoes the drums of the sea, •and at the first pink of dawn on the surface fog to push out past Cape Lorenzo and Cape Pasado. Twenty minutes or so after we rim the latter point Pilot Disher suddenly takes some paper from his briefcase, faces the cabin and with a ceremonial flourish hands each of us four passengers a lithographed certificate. It says that we just have - crossed the equator in the airplane San Luis of Pan-American Grace Airways, en route from Talara, Peru, to Cristobal, Canal Zone. The document is made out in the name of Boreas Rex and ignores complete Father Neptune, who’s the chief initiator in shipboard celebrations of crossing the line. From now on, it seems, the San Luis gains new speed as it sweeps us on toward the collar that joins the continents. Tumaco, Colombia, with its rusty-roofed houses, its waterfront on stilts, we stop to inspect for a moment before fanning the air road for Buenaventura. Now, Buenaventura, as you probably didn’t know, is Colombia’s principal Pacific port and is an important center in the unsubsidized German Scadta air route. Since this line has affiliated with the Pan-American system, we drop into the restaurant for a hot lunch and a cold drink.

ANEW passenger comes aboard, I so Disher drops the 300- j pound landing gear, which he will j pick up on the return trip. And j overland we zoom above a lonely I stretch of beach with huts and i dugout canoes, which Disher says j belong to a tribe handy with the poison blowgun. He shows me, too, an island charted as Monkey Hill. Pilots May it has only simian inhabitants 1 and that these have built up the one monkey house in the world outside a zoo—a 200-foot pyramid of mud and sticks, with scores of entrances, into which the whole community dashes for refuge j whenever a plane flew overhead, j At Chirambira Point we strike out boldly over the open sea on a i compass course for Panama, 350 miles away. Disher explains that the longer coastal route used to j be followed until it was found j smoother air prevailed above the ; water course. So clear it is we sight Cape Corrientes, Solando Point and Cape Marzo on the horizon, but our first real glimpse of land-is the Pearl Island group ’ in the Gulf of Panama, with the Isthmus mountains already visible ahead. We swing now to pass between Taboga and Taboguilla, sentinel islands in the Bay of Panama. Spot a white steamer entering the canal and a rusty freighter coming out. Panama City is at the right and behind it Albrook field, the army's air base at the Pacific end of the Big Ditch. Culebra cut is below, then Gatun lake and the Chagres river. Colon is ahead on the right. With a roar we pass Gatun Dam. Now we are over the Atlantic for the first time in days, and gliding with throttled motors toward Coco Solo and France field, army and navy air bases used by Pan"American because no other facilities are available. We have crossed the continent again—this time in twenty minutes. NEXT: Home Again. MISSIONS TO STRESS EDUCATIONAL WORK Need of Readjustment Discussed by Disciples of Christ. Education will be stressed in future missionary work, a missionary commission of the Disciples of Christ Brotherhood announced today. The commission, organized at the request of Dr. Stephen J. Corey president of the United Christian Missionary Society here, is studying missions in the light of changing social and economic conditions. Need of readjustment in many phases of mission work was discussed, according to Dr. William F. Rothenburger, Third Christian church pastor and commission chairman.

PATH CLEARED FOR PASSING INFLATION BILL Roosevelt May Be Money Czar of Nation by Nightfall. (Continued from Page One) pected to participate in other inflationary operations. Securities bought by the reserve banks would be held during a period specified by the secretary of the treasury, unless he wanted to buy them before it expired. If the reserve banks refuse to sign up. or if these operations prove “inadequate,” even more extensive steps for getting money out may be taken. The treasury may issue United States notes in denominations from $1 to SIO,OOO for the purpose of buying up maturing obligations and bonds. Destroy Federal Bonds The federal bonds, bills, certificates so purchased then shall be destroyed. and annual retirement of 4 per cent of the total shall be provided for out of treasury funds. The aggregate of notes so issued shall not exceed $3,000,000,000 at any one time. The floating debt totals about $7,000,000,000. with $3,000,000,000 maturing In 1933. In addition, the next date for calling $6,000,000,000 in Liberty bonds, now bearing 4*4 per cent interest. is Oct. 15. Including billions in R. F. C. and other obligations eligible for purchase by the federal reserve or treasury, the total of the base for the new notes almost is $20,000,000,000. May Cut Down Gold Content The provisions for cutting down the gold content of the dollar and issuing silver certificates against foreign nations’ debt payments in that metal generally are regarded as directed toward the international economic conference. It is a threat that can be used, but that may not be unsheathed unless necessary. The silver feature, which lasts for only one year, is believed desirable to permit foreign nations to make June 15 payments in that metal, and thus avoid default. Senate to Act Today Bj/ United Press WASHINGTON. April 21.—The Senate banking and currency committee voted today to report favorably to the Senate the administration's $6,000.0j0,000 corrency and credit expansijn program. The disputed proposal goes now to the floor, where its opponents are reported organizing a filibuster against it. The inflation program was introduced in the House in the form of a separate bill by Representative Rankin (Dem., Miss.), leader of the House expansionist bloc.
