Richter, who hold the worlds rec
ord for sustained flight, will at
tempt nonstop flight from the Ca
madam border to the Mexican line,
either next Saturday or Sunday,
starting from the British Columbia

the trip within II hours. Two re-
fueling operations are scheduled, the
first at Eugene, Ore, and the other
at Sacramento.
Tehachapi Pass will be crossed at
an altitude Of 5000 feet and from
that moment on, Smith and Richter
will be fighting darkness. Prepara-
tions have been made to illuminate
Rockwell Field with flood lights in
event the fliers do not reach here
until after sunset. They plan to
start from the Canadian border about
4:30 a. IN. and then head south.

FIFTH ANNUAL
LEGION MEETING
BEGINS TUESDAY
Expect This Will Be
Most Explosive Yet,
Say Many
Ry United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10
Zero hour for the fifth annual con-
vention Of the American Legion
came at o'clock this morning.
With 900 delegates filling the pit
of the Civic Auditorium, thousands
of visiting Legionnaires massed in
the galleries and still more eager
thousands filling the streets out
side, National Commander Alvin
Owsley responded to addresses of
welcome by California and San
Francisco officials and flashed the
spark of action through the charged
atmosphere that fills every Legion
convention hall.
From plans revealed prior to the
opening of the convention fifth an
nual conclave promises to be one of
of the most explosive ever held by
the ex-service organization.
disqualification of disabled vete-
rams, immigration, adjusted compen-
sation, limitation of aircraft by in
ternational agreement-all these
topics are expected to be brought
before the convention by resolution.
Despite the opportunities thus
presented for the setting off of
much dynamite it seems that the
convention this year will be held
better in check by the conservative
element than was last years con-
clave in New Orleans.
The Legion parade, reminiscent of
the departure of many unit and
division from its native environ
ment, will pass down Market street
tomorrow.
Each night will see smokers,
dances and all sorts of high jinks
merrily in full swing. Athletics,
both outdoor and indoor, will be a
big drawing card for delegates and
visitors.

$4,0O0,O0O FIRES IN
ANDNEARL i. A. CLAIM
LIVES; so INJURED
by United Press Leased Wire

Los ANGELES, October Is
The week end total from fire des-
truction is $4,000,000, according to
an unofficial estimate today by
the fire prevention bureau of con
fla2r;tlons in the city and county
which cost the lives of three besides
the injury of fifty.
Starting Saturday forest fire in
the Nerdugo Road section snuffed
out two lives and threatened the
obstruction of seven suburban
towns.
When fire fighting forces con-
trolled the blaze which extended
over SO hour period, fire broke
out in the Ganahl Lumber company
yard in the Vernon district. The
Flames were soon beyond control
and all effort WIS then confined
simply in preventing their spread.
Fhls was unsuccessful as three add
Jacent concerns were destroyed.
They were the Wohlman Manufac
turing company; the Pacific Coast
Glass Works and the Calori Broth
ers planning mill shed. The lumber
yard fire alone resulted in q $l,OO0,-
600 loss.
Believe Three Trapped
The tragedy of the forest fire was
enacted on the side of hill where
Joseph Mccain, plumber, and
Clarence Edwards, plumbing inspec-
tor, raced unsuceessfully for their
lives up steep hill. The men were
on an outing when trapped in Il
ravine.
One unidentified man who enter.
ed the lumber yard with Patrol
man O. W. Sampson to battle the
blaze at its inception, was pocket
ed by the flames and apparently
aid not escape.
Other fires reported were the
burning of the Palo Verde Rancl
property at Les Angeles Harbol
where 10000 acres were burned
over with a property loss of $685.
900; the Bernstein No. Oil Well
at Signal Hill, Long Beach, with
a property loss of 5000; brush
fire in Los Flares canyon, north of
Santa Monica, which devastated
1900 acres, burned three homes and
caused loss of $4,000 as well as
the destruction of several private
homes in the city, with an aggre-
gate loss of $4,000.
