In the Spotlight of TODAY'S News
Faint hope remains for Capt. Walter Hinchliffe and Elsie Mackey after an attempted westward flight over the Atlantic. Reports from Nova Scotia and Newfoundland rise of planes but the odds they are the Stinson remain small. Also airing is the California water rights feud tied to the St Francis dam disaster and renewed attacks on guards and pipelines. Aerial smuggling by liquor runners from Detroit prompts talk of training border police as subs and a lighter note on submarines not yet running the blockade. The late legislature session reveals bond estimates from 100 to 166 million with some unrelated bills slipping through. Tariff commissioner Costigan criticizes the Coolidge era for protectionism and rate rigidity. Snowbound Detour, Michigan, faces 15-foot drifts threatening starvation with a rescue plan involving a transport plane. Autograph hunters, Shaw first edition at $669, notes on signatures and a Towan, sir.
