Through the Static

Volume was a characteristic of the
Static made itself felt also, and after
! the fireworks last night, it was al
most continuous. There WIS no plea
sure to be derived from listening to
programs, late in the evening, at
least. Bloopers were active on Satur-
! day, Sunday and Monday, and we
we're convinced that everybody
| hadn't gone away for the weekend.
To those who went away, We'll say
that they didn't miss much. Yester-
day was productive of some good
stuff. but Saturday and Sunday were
| just ordinary.
Somehow or other that heavy buzz
seems to have given up in disgust
] There is a whirring noise on at times
| don't notice it. Doc. Pullen, super
ntendent OF health, is an ardent
radio fan and he spends most OF his
spare time rigging up unheard Of
hookups and making them work.
Well, he aptly described the buzz,
saying it sounded like a six cylinder
engine with the muffler taken off.
He also said it sounded.,like several
other things. DR.. PulleI isn't the
only one who feels that way about
it. We've heard several gentlemen
describe the buzz in glowing terms.
Well pass over Saturday and Sum-
day. Yesterday there vas consider
able to interest the radio fan. In the
morning the Tammany Fourth of
July celebration was broadcast and
we heard several flowery speeches by
we'll known New York officials. The
station broadcasting, WNYC, came
through in excellent shape. consider
ing where it is located, :36 meters.
Code didn't seem to interfere as
much as usual. The speeches con-
cerned the GLORIOUS Fourth" and
the early history Of our country, and
the facts were those lrat are IA
miliar to all of you.
In the afternoon, WIZ and sew
eral Of the network stations broad
cast a special Fourth Of July pro-
gram from 1 to 3 o'clock. 1t was an
impressive and entertaining feature
and We listened eagerly from the be-
ginning to the end. OF special inter
est were the Great Moments Of
History" That feature has been run
ming all winter and several of the
Moments" especially concerning
the fight for independence were
presented by trained actors. The

GRACE AND Plane
FALL after START
Hawaii to California Flight Ends
in Disaster

Mana, Island of Kauai, Hawaii,
July Rl-The twisted ruins of an
airplane, a broken hearted aviator
and disappointed field staff were
all that remained today OF the trans
oceanic flight project of Richard
Grace, Hollywood stunt flier, who
crashed to earth here yesterday
shortly after taking off for a hop
alone to California.
Grace was unhurt, but the plane
was badly damaged. Whether an
other attempt will be made has not
been determined.
For his third attempt the stunt
flier took off at 5:24 a. m. yesterday.
While still near the takeoff point,
and before he had headed directly
westward the tail of the monoplane
was seen to flutter. Grace headed
it back toward the beach runway
and it nosed earthward at an alarm
ing speed.
Survivor of "a other air crashes,
he managed to hold the monoplane
under control after a fashion but it
struck bushes on the edge Of the
field, smashing the fuselage and one
wing. He had been in the air just
81 minutes.
The plane carried 322 gallons of
gasoline and weighed more than L.
600 pounds.
Although materials have been Or
dered for rebuilding the plane, 1t
was not made known whether the
task would be undertaken here.
Grace and his mechanician were
said to be considering returning to
Honolulu tomorrow.
Grace has been flying since he
was 16 years old. He now is 20. In
providing thrills for the movies he
has wrecked 16 airplanes in as many
deliberate crashes.
