In fhe first inning, Connolly sim

infielders were strictly on the job.
Everything went off in apple-pie Or

have lot OF crazy fun in acquiring

casional and figurative sock in the
eye. Don't look for significance In

The humorist is somewhat out of
patience with the novelists who see
only the dark side of American life.

tion to books about people who have

be operated by private concerns. EIs
program also would provide that
state and municipal governments do
their part by establishing and equip
ping landing fields at much more
frequent intervals along the air
routes.
Flying itself is not dangerous
he asserted. 1T is the lack of proper

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S (R.-Names

those names stands a picture of Of
ficial Washington rolling it's head
on sIeepless pillows for many nights
before the selection was made.
Had to Be Diplomatic
Names of international or national
heroes of Latin-America first were
given consideration. But since each
country has different acknowledged
hero it would be difficult to seIe&
five without offending the countries
not represented.
Famous early discoverers also were
on the list, but again the question
resolved itself of possible regional OBJ

Were suggested but some historians
show there We're three in the dscov-

Names of rivers were advanced.
Again objections, on account of con-
fusion that might arise in the trans
mission of dispatches, should, for ex-
ample the "Parana' crash into the
4Isa Plata"
Emblem Also Bothered
Nor was the selection or names the
only problem. Choice of an emblem
for the planes appeared to have pos
sible international repercussions. The
first emblem submitted had at the
upper right edge the American eagle,
bearing an olive branch. But to cer-
tain officials there, were things that
might be misinterpreted. The eagle
was too large. He was placed higher
than the South American continent.
What was more, flying toward it
and possibly some one might think
the old bird was grinning, or even
worse, smirking.
SO, the apparent trite, yet prac-
tical names of American cities were
adopted for the ships, and their ern-
DIem. became conventional one,
showing winged circle enclosing
the North and South American con-
tinents.
