IS NEARING COAST Ba Frueten flight speeds toward record
The 2½ year old pilot Odom rode a strong tailwind in a bid to set a new nonstop distance record from Honeslulu to Teherboro. He logged 2000 miles west of the Farallon Islands with a Beech craft and radio escort from Alameda. Last January his attempt ended in Oakland after 2401 miles due to headwinds. He planned to ride KGO radio while reaching San Francisco in 17 hours and land in Teherboro after 32. Meanwhile fishermen in Menominee report 60 men marooned by Greenhay ice floes drifting into Lake Michigan. George Neff faces a third murder trial delayed to April 18 in Perth.

Two Tax Measures Stir Topeka Fights In Legislature
Topeka lawmakers face two tax bills this week as the Kansas legislature considers a gasoline tax refund and a severance tax. Farmers from Seward county oppose the refund plan citing red tape and fairness concerns. A 3 percent severance tax on oil and gas is urged by teachers and farm groups, despite oil interests and the administration’s opposition. Separately, Baker University students Jennings and Yeater were dismissed from Lawrence Memorial Hospital after a fire at Alpha Phi Omega. A secretive intelligence bill for U.S. agents also heads to the House, fast-tracked for potential broader powers abroad.
