By EDWARD W. PICKARD T7XACTLY five years after Charles - A. Lindbergh completed ' hi epoch-making flight from New York to Paris, Amelia Earhart, who Is new Mrs. 0. P. Putnam, landed In Ireland after . (he first solo flight across the Atlantic ever made by a woman. The Intrep id young aviator had started for Paris, but a burned out exhaust manifold mani-fold and other motor mo-tor trouble led her to descend at Cul-more Cul-more neat Londonderry. London-derry. She had madeJ!iedistanea froinilarbor Grace. M. F., in , 14 hours and 54 minutes, and landed without In. jury to herself or her plane. It was her second crossing of the wA Mrs. G. P. Putnam ocean by plane, but the other time, I.n 1928, she was merely a passenger with Winner Sttilz and, Lou Gordon. "I made this flight Just for fun." said Mrs. Putnam after 'landing, and she admitted her achievement Never meant nothing to aviation theless, she was the recipient of innumerable in-numerable congratulatory messages, mes-sages, from President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald among otners, anu when she ;Oew on to London in a borrowed plane she was given a great ovation. She was the guest of Ambassador Mellon Mel-lon who. with members of his embassy, em-bassy, met her at the Hamvorth airdrome. Mrs. Putnam said sh.e was going to Paris and would leave Europe for home about June 9. Besides being the first woman to fly the Atliintic alone, this young American girl set a new speed record rec-ord for the cmssing and also bettered bet-tered the distance record for worn-en worn-en set by Uuth Nichols at 1,977.0 miles; Her distance was 2,020.5 nilles. .,., buildings and similar works he said would be wasteful and destructive of the public confidence essential to economic recovery. The Democratic leaders Indicated they would fight the President on this Jssue even at the risk of prolonging pro-longing the session of congress, which already appears likely to run on until after the national conventions con-ventions have been held. Senator Barbour of New Jersey, Republican, Introduced a bill carrying out Mr. Hoover's Ideas. It would provide the reconstruction finance corporation corpora-tion with $1,500,000,000 additional capital for loans for self-liquidating projects that would furnish Jobs for the unemployed. Senator Brnnson Cutting, the "pro gressive" Republican from New Mexico, followed with a bill provid ing for just the kind of relief aid which the President had opposed and In Introducing It Cutting made a caustic attack on Mr. Hoover. The Cutting bill carries three bit lion dollars for -road construction nnd two billions for rivers an.1 hnr bors work as well as public build ings-and-otl) er-Uedera4 wor k s. SOCIALISTS, meeting In national convention In Milwaukee, nominated nomi-nated Norman II. Thomas of New York for President and James II. Maurer of Pennsylvania for second place on the ticket. Mr. Thomas, who was the party's cundidate In 1928, said his campaign would be a war against the Republican and Democratic parties and acalnst "the kingdom of poverty.'" Before the nomination, which was by ac clamation, Mr. Thomas, defeated an attempt to Commit the Socialist party to confiscation of the princi pal Industries of the nation. Mrs. Victor Berger of Milwaukee de. clined the nomination for Vice President, Pres-ident, so Mr. Maurer was chosen by acclamation. The Communist party was to hold Its convention in Chicago May 28 and 29, and there seemed no doubt that It would nominate William Z. Foster for President and James W, Ford of Alabauno, a negro, for Vice President.
