NONSTOP HOP FROM N. Y. TO IRAK STARTS Two French Pilots Off on Most Ambitious Distance Flight in History. PLANE WEIGHS 9 TONS Seek to Travel More Than 6.625 Miles Before They Land Machine. BY MARION F. COLLINS I'nlted PrcM Stifr Correction dent FLOYD RENNET AIRPORT. N. Y., Aug. s.—Two French pilots began one of the most ambitious flights in aviation history at 3:41 a. m. (Indianapolis time today when they took off for Bagdad. Irak, in an attempt to set anew non-stop distance record. Paul Codos. World war flier, was at the controls. Maurice Rossi, was navigator and radio operator. Their Bleriot monoplane, carrying 1.770 gallons of gasoline, was the heaviest laden ship ever to leave

this airport. The plane with its fuel load and other equipment weighed more than nine tons. They planned to head up the Atlantic coast as far as Newfoundland then steer a course across the Atlantic that would take ‘hem over the southern tip of Ireland.

Codos

They hoped to fly over Paris, but said they would not pause for any welcoming ceremony in the air. Continuing eastward, they hoped to follow a route down the Balkan peninsula, thence into Asia Minor as far as their fuel carries them. The Frenchmen arrived at the field shortly after midnight. Rossi immediately began a minute inspection of the pian and the 500-horse power Hispano-Suiza motor. Codos conferred with field officials and advisers on routes and weather conditions. The huge silver colored monoplane rose gracefully after a lengthy dash down the runway.

A large supply of rations was placed aboard the plane before the takeoff. Included were five baked chickens three dozen oranges. two dozen bananas, eight quarts of mineral water, two quarts of chicken consomme and seven quarts of black coffee. Codas and Rossi

hoped to break the 6.625-mile record held by two of their countrymen. Emil Rossi and Lucien Boussoutrol. who flew over a closed course at Oran. Algeria, in March. 1932. That flight lasted for seventy six hours forty-three minutes. With the huge fuel supply and a top speed of 150 miles an hour, they estimated they could remain in the air for seventy or more hours. That time, if weather conditions are favorable, might permit them to go beyond Bagdad, possibly to Karachi. India.

STRATOSPHERE FLIGHT FAILS IN ‘CRACKUP’ * Fautly Hydrogen Valve Is Cause of Crash Shortly After Takeoff. BY HARRISON SALISBURY I'nitrri rr*\ Staff CorrMpnndent CHICAGO. Aug. s.—The biggest balloon man ever built made a spectacular takeoff from Soldier Field for a flight into the stratosphere today, but the daring enterprise ended before it was well begun when the big gas bag crashed in a welter of ropes and rubber fabric in the midst of a railroad yards. A faulty hydrogen valve brought the projected voyage into the blue void of the stratosphere to a Midden

end. and only the expert maneuvering of the scientist. Lieutenant Commander T. W. G. Settle, saved the craft from destruction. When he became certain that, he must land. Settle peered beneath him and saw stretching away to the south thp Chicago river. On one

side were the dark outlines of buildings that offered every hazard, but on the opposite bank was the comparatively open space of the network of tracks in the Chicago, Burlington <fc Quincy railroad yards. Settle maneuvered his craft to a safe landing, and managed to release the highly inflammable hydrogen in the envelope without injury to himself or excessive damage to the balloon. Gas Release Valve Sticks Settle took off at 2 a. m , and had planned to ascend to an a'titude of a few thousand feet, and wait until the sun's rays began expanding the hydrogen. After gliding over the rim of the stadium his craft , climbed rapidly to 5.000 feet. The pilot, a veteran navy balloonist and Gordon Bennett rare winner, decided he was too high. He pulled the hydrogen release rord. planning to descend to about 2.000 feet. The valve, which had caused some difficulty before the takeoff, stuck. Gas escaped rapidly from ! the bag and the craft sank. Settle quickly tossed ballast overboard but i the bag deflated so rapidly he was I unable to chpck the descent. Spotlights from thestadiim which followed the balloon upward ploved on it as it lost altitude. A stream of lead dust which Settle carried 1 as ballast poured from the bottom 1 of the gondola. Trains Are Rerouted Settle guided the ship down through a maze of wires extending over the warehouse district. The gondola bumped on the rails, rose several feet into the air. and settled again between two sets of rails. The- bag, although nearly deflated, remainjd upright. Settle leaned from the hatch atop the gondola and called to witnesses: "I'm all right. Notify Soldier Field at once." He then released the remainder of the hydrogen. alid the bag came to rest seventy feet away. Flares were posted along the tracks to halt trains. Orders were given to re-route mam passenger trains. Thousands at Landing Thousands rushed to the scene Many of the 20.000 who gathered in Soldier field to see the take-off saw the ship start to descend and followed It. Police and fire squads were dispatched to remove the balloon and to control the spectators Almost as many persons were at the lanaing as at the take-off. Settle was calm as hp climbed from the little black And white gondola and supervised packing of the bag. His wife, one of tne last to say good-bv to him before he sealed himself in the gondola at the takeoff. was among the first at his side. I She raced from the stadium in an ambulance to the scene. Flight to Be Tried A;ain The takeoff of the balloon, thp largest ever constructed, was one of the world fair's most spectacular events. The ship was omit under supervision of Dr. Arthur Compton of the University of Chicago, and Professor Jean Piccard. The latter's brother. Auguste, two years ago conducted the first flight into the stratosphere in quest of scientific data on the cosmic ray. Sponsors of the ill-fated flight said another would be made. It was possible, they said, that the next attempt would be in connection with the Gordon Bennett balloon races here in September.

Roosevelt Declares Truce in Pennsylvania Row With Workers. WAIT ACTION ON CODE Agreement Reached After Dramatic Developments in Negotiations. •/ ( nit' *1 /’ir HYDE PARK, N. Y.,, Aug. —President Roosevelt today called upon capital and labor to declare a moratorium on strikes and I lockouts in the l nited States. BY FREDERICK A. STORM I nllM PrfM Staff Corrfipnndfnt HYDE PARK. N. Y.. Aug. s.—General Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administrator. backed by a determined President, ended the strike in the Pennsylvania coal fields early today. The President had seen in the strikes a dangerous threat to the nation's industry and his gigantic program for industrial recovery. The President himself announced the "absolute trure" between miners and mine owners which will send 50.000 men back to work on Monday and prevent 200.000 others from going on strike. Terms of the truce substantially was preservation of the status quo, pending hearings on the roal mdustrys code under the national recovery act. Creation of a special government board to mediate all disputes between labor and capital during th iife of the recovery program strongly was indicated to he a part of the immediate plans of Mr. Roosevelt and General Johnson. Reaches Dramatic Solution The chief executive's announcement. made at thp summer White House under highly dramatic, circumstances. came at the end of a hectic and frantic twelve hours for Johnson, Mr. Roosevelt, and leaders of miners and roal operators. After a long ronferenee in Washington at whieh Johnson presided, labor and capital agreed to the truce. .Johnson ramp here by airplane, and obtained approval of the President. who had been keeping in touch with the conference by tel:ephone. The truce had two chief points: 1. The miners will return to work without prejudice and their dispute with operators will be aired at the coal code hearings beginning Aug 9. 2. Until the industry's code is adopted, all disagreements will be settled by a board of three chosen by the President. Thanks Intermediaries "Ne'er in our country has a strike of such threatened proportions been settled so quickly and so generously." Mr. Roosevelt declared. In his formal statement, issued by Secretary Marvin H Mclntyre of the White House staff after Johnson concluded his conversations. Mr. Roosevelt extended his thanks to the intermediaries. 'A great roal strike." the President said, "threatened the entire bituminous field ano because of the scant storage at factories—also threatened the revival of manufacture on which so much depends. "On the basis of a simple suggestion for settlement made by General Johnson, both management and labor have declared an absolute truce on dissension at the mines *o await the resolution of the whole matter at thp coming hearings on the coal cod's. Roosevelt Signs New Code "In the meantime, all disagree-; ments arp to be settled by a board of my selection to which both sides agree—Gerald Swope. Louis Kirstein and George L Berry. Never, in our country has a strike of such threatened proportions been settled so quickly and so generously. "The public spirited men on both sides of the agreement arp to be congratulated in thus averting threatened disaster, but I can net let the occasion pass without referring to the tireless and constructive labors of the intermediaries. Governor Pinchot, Gerard Swope, Edward McGrady and Walter Teagle. as well as the operators and to John Lewis and other representatives of the miners. ’ Immediately after announcing the end of the coal strike the President signed the code of the electrical and the cloak and suit industries. Johnson Files to President The administration planned to enforce vigorously its determination to drive unfair practices cut of th* clothing trades Johnson announced that goods manufactured by adherent? to the rode would bear The clue eagle label and that a campaign of education would instruct th’ in differentiating between these coming from the sweatshop and from accepted plants. General Johnson's visit to Hyde Park was dramatic from the time his big tri-motored army plane was sighted over the government airfield until he dragged himself, weary and rubbing his eyes, to his room in the Nelson hotel in Poughkeepsie. ?
