The conference completed its organization, outlined a tentative program of activity, and adjourned, subject to the call of the permanent chairman. Senator Robert M. LaFol-lette of Wisconsin. William Jennings Bryan, the principal speaker at the public session preceding an executive meeting of invited delegates, told the assemblage he thought government ownership of. the carriers might be forced on the country by the apparent impossibility of providing satisfactory regulation.

He did not relish the he said, because he was "afraid of the centralization of power in Washington." but government ownership seemed inevitable because "God never made men good enough to withstand the temptations of one put at the head of a private monopoly."

CHICAGO. May 26. Lieut. Harrison G. Crocker, flying the same plane used by Lieut.

James H. Doolittle, in his gulf to lakes flight, today broke the world's record for a non-stop flight for a one-man plane formerly held by Lieut. Doodlittlc, according to records of army aviation officers at Chanute Field, Rantoul. 111. Lieut.

Crocker flew approximately 1,400 miles from Ellington Field, Houston. to Selfridge Field, Detroit, his flying time being 11 hours and 54 minutes. Lieut. Doolittle on September 5, 1922, flew from Kelley Field, to San Diego, Cal 1,240 miles, in 11 hours and 10 minutes. Lieut.

Alcock and Lieut. Arthur W. Brown of the British Royal Air Forces flew 1,960 miles from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to Clifden, Ireland. A comparison of records being made today with those of a few years ago shows the marvelous strides made in aviation in the last 10 years.
