Witness Is Jailed and
Fined $3.50 for Contempt

Justice James A. Allen, of the City
Court, at the conclusion Of hearing
yesterday on the suit brought by the
Beech Hill Distilling Company of Ohio
against the American Alcohol Com
rany, committed Abraham Balinsky,
formerly vice president of the alcohol
concern, to Jail for thirty days and
fined him $3.50 for contempt.
Justice Allen also directed that the
record of the case be sent to the Dis
trict Attorney and to the grievance
Committee Of the Bar Association. He
asserted that Max Schenkman, attor-
ney for the defendant, permitted Ba-
linky to swear falsely concerning an
agreement of which the attorney was
cognizant.
He refcrred to Mr. Schcnkman's s
statement that he had read the agree
ment only carelessly, and that the par
ticular facts had not impressed them
selves on his mind, but said, in COM
menting on this:

C-8 Reaches Cape May
In Flight From Akron, o.
Naval "Blimp" Two Hours Late
in Nonstop Trip Due to
Casolene Shortage

CAPE MAY, N. j., June 3.-The navy
dirigible C-8, which left Akron, Ohio,
at o'clock this morning for a nom
stop fight to Cape May, arrived at
the naval air station here at 6:15 y. M,
about two hours behind schedule. AL
though she was not forced to descend,
a shortage of gasolene caused the big
dirigible to slow up during the last
part of the trip.
The ,C-8, which was piloted by Lieu
tenant Commander Paunack and Lieu
tenant Lawrence, came across Della
ware Bay from the direction of Lewes.
The performance of the "blimp" C-s,
in flying from Akron, Ohio, to Cape
May, a distance Of approximately 400
miles, does not compare with the
record of the ill-fated C-5, which, after
making a record nonstop fight from
Montauk Point to st. Johns, N. F., a
distance Of 1900 miles, broke from her
moorings and drifted out to sea, a total
loss.
