Record Makers Land Exhausted Exceed Former Endurance Record by One Hour, 28 Minutes (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Cleveland, Ohio, July 6.--Hold-, ers of a new world's record for endurance flights of 174 hours and 59 seconds, Pilots Roy L. Mitch- ell and Byron K. Newcomb, today rested their weary bodies after re- maining in the air from a week ago Friday afternoon until 12:39: 50 this morning, when they brought their plane to earth at Cleveland airport. They exceeded by one hour, 28 minutes and 58 seconds the old mark set recently in Fort Worth, Texas, by Reginald Robbins and James Kelley, who remained aloft 172 hours, 32 minutes and one second. Weariness brought the airmen to a landing and the riotous ac- claim of 75,000 persons after a flight which became more hazard- ous and difficult as the days aloft cut down their physica! endur- ance. Exhausted the airmen immedi- ately were taken under guard to a hotel to sleep throughout the day if they desire. "We broke the record. That's enough. All we want now is sleep," Newcomb said. There are over three thousand Missionary and Maintenance Fund committees throughout The Unftel Church of Canada.

He went as far as the dom tna of the single sculls chanipionship of last year's Olympic games, losing then to Ken Myers of the United States. The time was 32 seconds slow- er than the record held by F. S. Kelly of London, 8 minutes 10 seconds. The final was a most thrilling race. F. Pitman, chairman of the regatta, umpired and Jack Guest was given a front seat in the umpire's launch. Wright sculled 35 against Gun- ther"s 87 1-2 strokes in the first minute. They raced level up to the island and were still level at the quarter mile post. Remen- ham barrier was reached in 2:28. Gunther here went ahead a few feet. He increased his lead to a half length at the half-mile point and was three quarters of a length in front when Fawley was reached in 4:08.

The dual meet will con- sist of 12 events in each of which one or more of the 22 British ath- letes will complete. In addition there will be eight open contests in which non-members of the Ol- ympic Club may compete to fill out an afternoon of high class track and field competition. The Oxford-Cambridge team is the first English university squad to come to this country in more than twenty years and the first to engage a city club in competition. Eight of the athletes are from Ox- ford University and 14 from Cam- bridge. On the team are eight Rhodes scholars--three from the United States, four from Australia and one from South Africa. Three members of the British Olympic of 1928 and two of the America Ol- ympic team of 1924 are in the party. own station. Gunther sculleld at 31 strokes a minute to Wright's 30, and the Dutchman increased his lead to one length at the 3-4 mile post. Gunther was seulling beautifully.

Her feat in trouncing Helen Ja- cobs, another Californian, 6-1, 6-2 on Wimbledon's famous centre court yesterday gave Miss Wills her third British championship in as many years and her second in a row with- out the loss of a set, Her victory in the current. cham- pionships was more impressive than either of her other two. In 1927 she 16st one set and 43 games in taking the title. In 1928 she dropped 18 games but no sets. This year she lost no sets and only 16 games. Miss Wills' easy triumph over Miss Jacobs indicated among other things that the Berkeley girl will have little trouble defending her American title this fall. She won the Ameri- can, British and French titles in 1928 and already has repeated in the French titles in 1928 and British evefits of 1929.

(By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, Ont.,, July 6.--No word had been received up to noon today from the crew of the giant Sikorski -am- phibian Sesqui plane 'Untin' Bowler, thought to.be down at Great Whale awaiting favorable weather before proceeding on its flight over the "top of the world" to Europe.

Fog hung over the water and visibility was restrict- ed to half a mile. The wind was southwest and blowing at twelve miles an hour. Ice conditions in the harbor could not be observed owing to the fog. A second message sent out by the station to the Department of Marine and Fisheries here stated that the operator had been listening but had been able to pick up nothing from the crew of the machine, This is taken to mean that the lane is on the ground at Great hale and that weather conditions prohibit any flight being made, 41 Aeroplanes in Around Britain Race (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Blackpool, Eng.

He was kept under surveillance herc for some time until word came from Glasgow to drop the case. A short time ago a warrant arrived with a request that Dickson be ar- rested, and the Mounted Police again took up the trail, locating the man in the West End. Hon.

He is scheduled to arrive Monday morn« ing at his destination, where he will rest and give his personal at- tention to a number of matters af- ter an absence of several months. The Conservative leader has no speaking engagements until he opens his British Columbia tour at Windermere, B.C., on July 25, His itinerary through the Pacific Coast province will cover a month ap- proximately. He will' be accom- panied for part of his journey at least by General A. D. McRae, cntef Conservative whip, and Sir. George Perley, M.P., for Argenteuil. In his speech here last night, Mr. Bennett said the injurious effect of the tariff policy of the Macken- zie King Government was evidenc- ed by official figures just issued.

BROWND DOES NOT EXPECT MUCH EFFECT ON LOCAL PLANT CANADIAN SHOTS READY FOR GREAT EVENT AT BISLEY Nearly 3,000 Marksmen Will Be Present Next Week (By Thos. T. Champion, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) Bisley Camp, Eng. July 6.-- With nearly 3,000 expert marks- men present from all parts of the Empire, everything is complete for the opening on Monday of the great meeting of the National Rifle As- sociation. After months of labor the comprehensive program has been completed, providing matches for all types of small arms--re- volvers, miniature rifles, sporting guns, service rifles, match rifles and Lewis guns. The great individual prize is, of course, the King's prize, to be de- cided as usual in three stages. The qualifying round will be show uver the 200, 500 and 600 yard ranges on July 17; the second stage over the 300, 500 and 600 yard ranges on July 19 and the final stage over the long-distance 2,900 and 1,uvv yards on the meet's closing day, The conipetition provides a real test of marksmanship over short and long ranges, the aggre- gate scores in the second and third stages determining the winner. Canada has captured the prize five times, the last occasion being the victory in 1924 of Lieut. Desmond Burke, of Ottawa. Burke has twice since lost the prize by a very slight margin, last year being only three points behind the winner, Lance-Corporal A. C. Hale, of Birmingham. . The only anxiety concerns the weather. Following heavy rains the broad ranges have been swept by winds reaching a velocity of 60 miles an hour. Conditions today were slightly better but the ground is hardly in the best of condition and ary strong winds add consid- erably to the uncertainties of com- petition.

A. Robb, Min« ister of Finance EXPERTS TO BE SENT TO THE FACTORIES No Steps Taken As Yet With General Motors of Canada--Local Concern Was Complimented ini House of Commons on Living Up to Agreement The propdsed inquiry into the Canadian automobile industry is not expected to affect General Motors of Canada to any extent, said H. A, Brown, vice-president and general manager of the company, speaking to The Times this morning. The inquiry was authorized by Hon. James Robb and according ta press reports, is intended to show whether the Canadian manufacturers are taking advantages of tariffs, what their production costs are, how retail prices in Canada compare with those in the United States, whether the volume of imports from the Uni= ted States could be partially produ« ced in Canada, and whether thd Canadian manufacturer is passing on to the consumer the benefits of the tax exemptions and reductions of the 1926 budget. Low-priced cars are said to be particularly affected by the investigation. : The investigation arose out of a recent debate in the House of Com« mons, during which it was stated that many of the manufacturers were not passing on the benefits of the 1926 budget to the consumers. It was stated on the floor of the House, however, that General Motors hai passed on this benefit,'and had lived up to the spirit of the government's endeavor to reduce-the Canadian re tail price and manufacture as much of the product as possible in Canada, Experts have been sent out by the government to gather this informa< tion from the various companies, bu have not yet reached the General Motors head office here. A publid hearing will be held in September which representatives of the automo« bile industry and others will be in« vited to attend.
