Army air service officials expressed the belief today that the globe encircling flight to be attempted during the spring by army filers can be accomplished in 30 days if favorable weather conditions prevail.

Officials have not yet decided on the route to be taken by the filers from Washington to the Pacific coast. In all probability, however, the itinerary will include Washington, Dayton and St Louis, and thence to San Francisco via the established air mail service route.

MELODRAMA NEARING CURTAIN By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 20. A strange political melodrama of the southwest Indian country is nearing its final curtain. "Iron Jack!" Walton, the central figure, villain to some, hero to others, found guilty on 11 out of 22 counts against him and removed from the gubernatorial office by the senate last evening, was still in a defiant mood today. He issued a flaming accusation against the impeachment court and the Ku Klux Klan. It was filed with hot retaliation, direct charges and subtle innuendo against the senate and house of representatives. Not to be outdone, the board of managers of the house, which conducted the prosecution, discharged a similar salvo against Walton. "We simply removed the governor from office, acting under a mandate from the voters of Oklahoma," Chairman W. E. Disney of the managers, declared. "October 2, in the election Walton tried to stop with his army—the electorate of Oklahoma told the legislature what to do. We carried out their instructions to the letter." The board of managers again assailed Walton's plea that the invisible empire of the Ku Klux Klan was responsible for his downfall and that a conspiracy was formed to deprive him from office. "On the first count of the indictment voted upon, the senate unanimously declared Walton's guilt" it was announced. "That is sufficient answer to Mrs. William Weightman and, in fact, her husband. Everything was lovely in the home of William Weightman, son of the late millionaire chemical man, until Weightman began amored of a country lass on farm at Oswego, N.Y., in 1954 ordering to Mrs. Weightman, in her suit for divorce, recently filed a case.

Weightman denies the charges. ROTH CASE REAL FOR GRAND JUDGE LOS ANGELES Nov. 20. Case of Herman L.

The pur to reports which have been received by General Patrick, chief of air service, from officers who have been making a thorough study of the proposed route. Officials have not yet decided on the route to be taken by the filer from Washington to the Pacific coast. In all probability, however, the itinerary will include Washington, Dayton and St. Louis, and thence to San Francisco via the established air mail service route. Otherwise the flight will proceed from St. Louis to San Antonio to El Paso, Texas, thence to Yuma, and on to San Diego. The planes to be used in the flight will be smaller than the T-2 which made the first non-stop transcontinental flight. They will be capable of a flying range of from 1500 to 2000 miles without refueling. UNLAWFUL TO HUNT DUCKS AFTER DARK It is unlawful to hunt ducks at night, open season or not.

It was expected that he would take the oath of office some time today. Former governor Walton probably will be given what time he wants to remove his personal path from the gubernatorial suite on the state house. Judge Riddle was authority for the statement that Walton will not resist, except through the federal courts, the mandate of the senate. Legislators were undecided this morning whether or not action would be taken on anti-Ku Klux Klan legislation prior to access of the social session. Pressure is being brought against the legislature to pass one of the bills now pending which provides for unmasking of the klan, filing with the county clerk of membership.
