Clavier. Never before in his career
as an aviation engineer have any Of
his associates been killed. The tears
he wept when they died welled from
personal affection.
An Idealist
Sikorsky is the kind OF idealist to
find his slightest worry in the mate
rial and financial loss of the airship
which had been the darling of his
dreams for more than two years.
He never was a business man, and
his cares were not for money, except
to insure the, continuation of his
work. Even after the recognition
and comparative success of recent
years. he lived simply in a small
house near the aviation field. His
manner is disarmingly courteous,
but the hard-boiled mechanics of his
staff give him devoted and deferen-
tial attention.
Sikorsky is 81 and was born at
Kiev. His family for generations
had sent priest after priest to the
Russian church. But young Igor's
mechanical bent would not be de-
MED.
He went to the navy college in
Petrograd and studied engineering
in Paris. When the war broke out
in 1914 although he was only %, he
was at the top in Russia in aviation
design. He had built planes and
kites and airsleds as a boy. and by
1912 he won a national prize with
flying ship.

Its motors couldn't support its

plane flew more than $4,000 miles
and established the name Of ST.

That ship gave way in interest to
the great conception for the trans

crashed, what next?
Kipling talks about the man who
can see the things he gave his life
to broken and start to build again

Carter and Fitzpatrick, in giving
their version of the occurrence last
night. said that they were justified ir

ant commissioner was riding, as il
was identical in appearance with &

minutes before had not only beer

from which several shots had beer
fired at the agents. In the FIRST car
1S0 galloSas of corn whisky had been
found, when the occupants escaped
by plunging into a nearby swamp.
Curtains had been drawn in each
instance, the two agents pointed out
and the cars were both going at high
speed, they claimed.
Fitzpatrick claimed also in reply to
charges that the identity of the men
had not been disclosed. that the first
man to approach the car, Agent
Cook. had said. Federal officers

Saw No Gun Display.
Both Fitzpatrick and Carter claim
ed they saw no display of guns, and
heard no abusive language. The
former said he had personally apollo
gized for stopping the car, although
none of the agents knew at the time
that the driver was the assistant
commissioner of internal revenue.
Although the dismissed agents are
not under civil service regulations
they plan to lay the whole matter
before their members Of Congress
Carter and Fitzpatrick will present
their case, they said, to Senator
Reed of Missouri.
Carter was awarded the Navy Cross
and Croix de Guerre with Palm for
"extraordinary heroism," when, ac
cording to the official record in the
case, "he followed a tank with two
Moroccans in spite of an intense ma
chine gunfire, and captured 63 pris-
Oners. one of them an officer" This
exploit was recalled yesterday as a
sensation by regimental comrades of
Carter in France, who are now in
Washington, and who remembered the
excitement his single-handed capture
caused. Carter was also decorated
with the Croix de Guerre and Star
Good Conduct Medal of the Marine
Corps, and Victory Medal with five
battle bars, showing he had partici-
pated in the engagements at Verdun
Ainse- Marne, st. Mihiel, Ainse and
Meuse-Argonne.
Fitzpatrick served three enlist
ments, two with the Army, in the
Philippines and on the Mexican Dor
der, and a third with the Marine
Corps. He was formerly an agent OF
the Department of Justice.
