Groesbeck, four times governor. told a Ferndale audience Thursday night that completion of Wider Woodward Ave. in the Detroit area and a reconstruction of the state's fiscal program are the major prob- lems confronting whoever takes of- fice at Lansing Jan. 1. 'Praises Gas Tax Brucker, standard-bearer of the Green administration, in a speech at Greenville upheld the present gasoline tax and attacked the par- dons and paroles issued by former Gov. Groesbeck as contributory' factors in the state's criminal situ- atioin. Judge Jeffries, former old-line Democrat, who left his party, ex- plaining, "They'll listen to you as a Republican," appeared before a De- troit luncheon club with the plea that he be elected governor so he could whip congress into line on farm relief legislation. Groesbeck Begins Campaign Groesbeck's appearance Thurs- day night was the first he had made since he announced he was seeking a return to the governor- ship. His speech was before the Southern Oakland County Groes- beck-for-Governor club. The for- mer governor accused the other candidate of failure to bring out the real issues of the campaign as they affect the welfare of the state. He advocated careful consideration of taxation to relieve the taxpayers and reconstruction of the state's financial program. Judge Jeffries indicated that his entire campaign would be based on his urgent advocacy of farm relief. VISITORS TO SEE MOON FEATURES Observatory to Offer Students Unusual Telescope Views. Visitors' nights at the observatory next' week will give Summer Ses- sion 'students an opportunity to in- spect the apparatus at the Univer- sity observatory as well as to view the moon through a high-power telescope. The instrumental .equipment that will be shown to the visitors in- cludes the observatory's 37 1-2 inch telescope, used only for spectro- seopic work; the meridian circle, used for determining exact time by observation of stars crossing the meridian; and a seismograph, that records earthquake shocks. This seismograph recently recorded the disturbance during the earthquake in Italy. The visitors will be permitted to observe the moon through a 12 1-2 inch telescope. Through this tele- scope, which is so powerful that only a small part of the moon can be seen at one time, they will be shown the portion of the moon most, varied in surface features. Mountains may be seen on the moon which approach 20,000 feet in height. A particular feature wlich always interests visitors ,Prof. W. C. Rufus asserts, is the view of mountain peaks on the moon illuminated by the rising sun while valleys remain in the shadow. The moon craters and so-called seas will also be pointed out. 7ated Press) "What causes the seasons of the year?" "Name four anthropoid (man- like) apes." "What is the function of Leuco- cytes?"

In their single motored mon- oplane the two aviators, Wolf- gang Hirth and Oscar Weller, made their over-water jump in a little less than 12 hours. They left Kirkwall, Orkney islands at 9:40 a.m., British Summer time, (3:40 a.m., e. s.t). (By Associated Press) KIRKWALL, Orkney Islands, Aug. 1.-Wolfram Hirth and Oscar Well- er, Germany's trans-Atlantic air adventurers, today hopped off from Kirkwall on their first over-water jump toward the American conti- nent. Their immediate destination was Iceland. The takeoff from this point was encouraging. Weather conditions were ideal. Forecast Favorable Hirth left Kirkwall at 8:15 a. m. for Swanbister bay where the plane awaited him, fueled and ready for the start. Weller remained at Kirk- wall to await favorable weather news. Fifteen minutes after his mate departed Weller received the fore- cast. His face beamed. "It couldn't be better," he exclaimed. Another moment and the flyer was on his way to Swanbister by motorcar. The plane ran smoothly down the field almost to the edge of the bay. The airport is small but was suf- ficient for the takeoff. Greenland Next Stop The last seen of the Germans was a small black dot low over the northern horizon, near the hills of Hoy island, where the aviators took their bearings for the run to Ice- land. The flyers expected to reach Ice- [and tonight. Greenland would be the next stop and Labrador their first glimpse of the new world, with a landing either at Ilopedale or Indian bay.

Dr. Robinson, professor of archeology at Johns Hopkins, made his observations at Uni- versity of Chicago Thursday. He has just returned from Olyn- phus, Greece, where important excavations were made.

ENGLISH DIIIBLE ENDS AIR JOURNEY DESPITE ACCIDENT R-100 Reaches St. Hubert Port Slightly Damaged From Cyclonic Current. DISASTER WAS AVERTED Giant Airship Ties Up at Mast Closing Epic 3,500-Mile Trip From England. (By Associated Press) ST. HUBERT AIRPORT, Mon- treal, Aug. 1.-The British dirigible R-100 a sailor home from the sea, swung gently from her mooring mast tonight, behind her 3,500 miles of epic voyage that almost ended in disaster. Speeding down the St. Lawrence river valley last night, just 150 miles from St. Hubert mast and safety, the night air voyager was struck by a clyconic current that hurled it 2,500 feet straight' upward and tore a great hole in her fragile ar- mour. The damage was repaired and the big ship proceeded slowly into Montreal, anchoring at her mast at 4:38 a. m., just 78 hours and 51 minutes after taking off from Cardington, Eng., on her flight to the new world. Officers Deny Danger. Officers, told that they were talk- ing for publication, made light of the danger encountered. The men, not so constrained, spoke more freely. Their story was one to make the heart quicken with thanksgiving for the 'peril that was passed, a peril that struck with the speed and ferocity of a serpent. Just the other side of Quebec, they said, a strong up-current of clyconic force caught the R-100 and hurled it practically standing on its nose, for almost 2,500 feet in less than a half minute. Storms Rip Fabric. It was during that terrific mo- ment, when all aboard just crossed their fingers and waited, that a strip of fabric about 15 by 6 feet was ripped from the port fin, open- ing a hole as big as a barn door in- to the great envelope, exposing the intricate interior of the largest air- ship ever built to the fury of the storm. WOODCOCK PLANS NEW DRY POLICY Relieving of Docket Is Sought by Dropping Liquor Cases. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug, .--Prohibi- tion director Amos W. W. Woodcock, expects the new enforcement policy of concentrating up the large scale violators of the dry laws to con- tribute incidentally to the relief of congestion in the federal courts. This, he said today, should come about through the elimination of the, flood of minor cases that have been clogging the dockets. Even with an increased staff of agents, he predicted fewer. cases would be brought in the court. The cases that are prosecuted, however, he pointed out, may be expected to be of importance and a step in the bureau's program of shutting off the supply of illicit liquor at its source. The line of demarcation between petty and major offenses is to be sharply drawn. Carrying a pint of liquor on the hip and transporting 10 gallons in an automobile, Wood- cock said, are two altogether dif- ferent things.. Woodcock spent the day conferring with the group lead- ers of the corps of special agents assigned to special investigation work and detect widespread con- spiracies to violate the liquor laws. In addition he spoke briefly to the 12 supervisors of industrial alcohol permits, -who met here with their chief, James M. Doran, on ques- tions of organization, and adminis- tration. Today's conference brought to an end the series begun early in the week which were intended .to acquaint the field director of the f occupied chair. The announcer had just finshed broadcasting the returns of the election which recalled M a y o r Bowles and the .two men discussed the event casually, Klein said. Sud- denly there were shots.
