.CS-2 NONSTOP
FLIGHT AGAIN
POSTPONED
Naval Officers Forced Down
Yesterday for Second Time
in Few Days

The attempt of Lieutenants F. w.
Wead and John D. Price, U. s. N,
to break the nonstop record for an
endurance flight in seaplane, has
been postponed for several days.
Twice, yesterday and Sunday, the
naval officers met with failure and
were forced to descend after being
in the air but short time.
Workmen are now putting the
CS-2, monster scouting, bombing and
torpedo plane in shape for the third
trial before the end of the week. A
burned.out bearing was the cause
of the failure yesterday.
Naval officials say that II the
damaged engine cannot be repaired
in a few days, a new engine will
be put in the plane. They declare
that nothing will deter u.s."
The CS-2 was equipped with gaso-
line, oil and provisions for thirty.
hour flight yesterday. The endur
ance record for q seaplane is eleven
hours ard fifty.five minutes.
The CS-2 made several starts yes
terday. On the last attempt, the
plane landed in the Potomac three
miles south of Alexandria and was
later towed in to the naval air sta
ton for repairs.

Woman Leads Post
to High Standing

Under guidance of a woman. a post
of the American agion in Winston
Salem, North Carolina, has grown TO
be one of the most effective and pow
erful units Of the organization in the
South. Miss Alice Gray, former post
commander. now representing the state
as member of the national executive
committee. was this leader and Legion
officials are agreed that he efforts are
greatly responsible for success of this
post.
The first care of the Clyde Boiling
post, which Miss Gray headed, was re-
lief of the disabled, and after that
came service to the community. Many
forward looking steps were outlined
and put into effect by the post during
the term which Miss Gray headed the
post, and its achievements. particular
ly in instlling into the citizenship
deeper sentiment for patriotism, have
won It a place of respect from the
entire community. Display of the flag
was one of the leaders hobbies, and
perhaps no city in the South has more
general observance of patriotic Gus
toms than Winston-Salem.

PLACE BLAME FOR
CRIME IN NATION

b In order to support the claims Of
the American Legion that a certain
element OF the alien population is
largely responsible for crime in Inc
nation, a definite survey of persons
and courts has been undertaken by
Garland w. Powell, director of the
National Americanism commission Of
the Legion.
The Legion favors total exclusion
Of all immigrants for a period Of FIVE
years, IN order to assimilate those
aliens now within the boundaries Of
America. and will present the deter
limitations as regards the crime by
aliens, in order to substantiate the
allegations that such immigration is
deleterious TO national ideals.
Similar information has never be-
fore been available, but Mr.. Powell
hopes to present it in such a way as
TO completely bear out claims of the
Legion. The immigration question
will be presented to national legisla-
tors for consideration At this term Of
congress.
In a letter sent to the chairman of
Americanism commissions in each of
the Legion departments, definite infor-
nation is sought. One Of the ques-
tionnaires prepared by the American
ism commission deals with courts, dis
trict attorneys and the activities of
their offices. In this, Mr. Powell re-
quests exact information as to cases
pending against aliens for violation of
narcotic and prohibition laws, for
murder, for robbery, and other crimes,
as compared with American citizens
held on the same charge.
Another portion of the questionable
deals entirely with prison and penal
institutions, This requests informa-
ton as to how many aliens are serv-
ing sentences of six months or more
for murder, robbery, violation Of pro-
hibition and narcotic laws and other
crimes, as compared with the Amer
leans incarcerated for the same crimes.
Importance of such a census Of pris-
ons and courts has been impressed on
the Americanism commission of each
department, and the Information re-
ceived is expected by Mr.. Powell TO
be of weight in consideration Of i'm
migration restriction, in line with pol
icies of the veterans organization.
