Now It Can Be Told! Clipper Throttle Broke, Says Howard
htt dle Let
(Editor's Note—Roy W. Howard, president and editor of the New York World-Telegram, was among the passengers aboard the Pan-American Airways flying boat, the Yankee Clipper, which compltted its first scheduled trans-Atlantic.
flight vesterday at Southampton.
Mr. Howard has written his impressions of
the flight in the following cabled dispatch.)
By ROY W.
HOWARD
ARIS, July 10—The most interesting, dramatic and at the same
time significant incident of the
trans-Atlantic flight by 15 Amer-
ican newspaper and magazine editors, which was concluded at
Southampton at 5:43 p. m. Sunday,
was one of which the journalistic
master minds knew nothing until they were let in on the secret by
Pan-American officials.
The line officials, also aboard the huge ship, did not reveal this incident until a few minutes before the flight of the Clipper was
finished.
During the torrid moments of a 25-cent limit poker game in which seven of the journalistic tycoons were demonstrating their lack of
knowledge of the game, codified by
Hoyle, and while the Clipper was
about 800 miles east of Newfoundland, the throttle rod controlling the gas supply to the No. 2 engine on the port side, broke, thus putting that particular enginer out of commission. The throttle rod on a plane is identical to that on any automobile. It controls the supply of gas to the engine just as it does on an auto.

Tiniest Baby Keeps Feeble Grasp on Life
The 11-ounce baby girl born prematurely June 29 retained its feeble grasp on life at City Hospital today. The tiniest infant ever cared for there still is being fed with a medicine dropper. The baby, given only one chance in five to live by doctors at the time of birth, became weak Friday, but has gained strength since. The infant has not been moved from an incubator to be weighed.
WASHINGTON, July 10 (U. P). —Charges that the Administration’ neutrality bill substantially would effect an alliance between this country and Great Britain and France moved Congress today into a tempestuous week. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled within 48 hours to take up the neutrality question. Its action may hoist quick adjournment signals or head the Senate into a month or more of filibuster. Postponement of neutrality until next session would leave Congress little to do before going home. Hiram Johnson Leader No other pending issue has the ex-

UCH a break on a single-motored plane of the type used by Charles A. Lindbergh, would have meant a forced landing at seat—another plane and its occupan} or occupants consigned to Davy Jones’ locker. In fact it is highly probable that just such a trivial accident may have been the cause of the tragic finish hat came to many daring trans-Atlantic aviators whose courageous pioneering made the Clipper flight not only possible but rather commonplace. Even in the case of some multiple-motored ships now employed in trans-oceanic flying, such a mishap might have resulted in a return to the neares land or a slowing of the flight. There is probably no greater testimonial to the thoroughness,
the up-to-dateness and the efficiency of Pan-Americans overseass flying than the fact that no one outside the crew even suspected hat the break—which 10 years ago would have spelled tragedy—was in this instance not even an incident.

Roosevelt will not seek a third term. Should the President finally decide to do so, Mr. McNutt would support him, he has said. But judging from he manner in which Mr. McNutt has accepted the new assignment, he does not believe that the President will seek a third term and he hopes to obtain the
White House blessing as the nominee. After dashing in and out of the Presiden ‘s office in a light summer suit, Mr. McNutt changed to morning clothes apd attended the funeral of Navy Secretary Swanson in the Senate chamber. z Mr. McNutt returned to Washe ington to speak last night on “Christianity in the Philippines” at the Foundry Methodist Church. He is scheduled for an off-the-record talk on U. S. problems in the Orie ent at a National Press Club lunche eon tomorrow. The security job was created by the President’s first reorganization order. It would consolidate under the direction of one man the Social Security Board, the Civilian Conservation Corps, United States Employment Service, Public Health Service, National Youth Adminjstration, and the office of Education
of the Interior Department. Another political development toe day was the issuance by former Rep, John J. O'Connor, conservative New York Democrat, of a call for all Democrats to unite and in 1940 elect “a sensible Democrat for President.”
Fears
Mr. O'Connor was the only vice tim of President Roosevelt's attempt to defeat anti-New Dealers in the 1938 elections. Since his defeat, Mr. O'Connor has established law offices here and has announced his intention of continuing his fight against the Administration. Today’s statement was a letter to 500 Democratic ex-members of the House of Representatives who served with him from the 68th to
ed in 1940. The Crop Reporting Board will make its first forecast of 1939 corn production in a report expected to indicate whether marketing quotas (will be proclaimed, although Agriculture Secretary Wallace will not make a final decision until after the Aug. 1 forecast. The report also will include wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, fruits, tobacco, hay, sugarcane and sugar beets. Condition of the crops on July 1 will be reported in the forecast.

Nazi Danzig Leader
Calls Corridor ‘Fraud’
DANZIG, July 10 (U. P.).—Nazi Leader Albert Foerster, in speeches at Oliva and Neufahrwasser yesterday, expressed confidence that Danzig would revert to Germany. He also asserted that the peace treaty
award of the Polish Corridor to Poland had been a fraud. “Danzig does not need to live with Pcland any more than she needed to in the past,” he said. He demanded that Poland abandon a munitions depot on an island in Danzig Harbor, awarded to Poland by the Versailles Treaty. Danzig was not afraid of an attack, Herr Foerster said, “firstly because the Fuehrer has told us that 30,000,000 Germans are behind us; secondly, because of the German
