Mrs. GYaySOn Forced
Back IN AnOtheYHOD
Amphibian Lands In
Water After Sec
ond False Start

OLD ORCHARD, Ne. Oct. 22.-tH1
We just couldn't fly down the
wind. that's ALL" explained Mrs.
Frances W. Grayson, the Long Island
aviatrix who hopes TO be the first
woman 10 fly across the Atlantic
ocean, As the amphibian plane, the
Dawn. TAXED out Of the water and
up the beach here today after sec
ond false start this week for Copen-
hagen.
The return decision was made when
the plane reached a point two miles
beyond Cape Elizabeth Lightship, a
dozen miles east Of here. il was lot
more than two feet above the water,
and making nearly l25 miles an hour,
Il was estimated by Pilot Wilmer
Stultp. Navigator Brice Goldsbor-
ough pulled the valve wires, re-
leasing $50 gallons Of gasoline. and
thus gained altitude TO return 70 the
beach.
Long Run on Beach
Mrs. Grayson, when asked IL the
next attempt would be made this
afternoon at the next low tide. said:
"Oh. don't know. ! don't like the
idea Of two nights of flying but we
may do il.
1T was n terrible beach 70 take
off from this morning. Pilot Stultz
had fairly to pull the plane into the
air"
By the time the plane started its
run down the beach at Gals. the tide
had crept in. leaving only a COM
paratively narrow path on the upper
sand which is softer than that un-
covered at dead low tide. The plane
was forced 10 run much further than
on the previous attempt last Tues
day. Ii was fully a mile and n quar-
ter and perhaps a mile an a half be-
fore the wheels left the ground for
last time.
The possibility of another take-off
this afternoon seemed remote after
a conference between Mrs. Grayson.
Pilot Stultz and Igior Sikorsky,
builder Of the plane.
Barely Missed Water
"0f course. IL conditions are ahso-
lutely right and the plane il still in
perfect share. as We think she u, we
could not afford 20 miss such an or
portunity. said Mrs. GraySon. But
neither Pilot StultE nor myself like
the idea Of two nights az flying"
The explanation Of how the ship
was able 70 fly about IL miles be-
fore II was turned back, was given By
Pilot Stultz.
"The wind was stronger fifty feet
above the surface than il was near
the ocean level" he said I'VE would
rise until the tail wind had fresh
encd TO a point where IL forced US
down. We would drop until only q
few feet from the water and some
times thought we would hit IL. Then
with diminished wind we would catch
and climb again. l knew We could
not keep that up

WIDER POWER URGED
ON SCHOOL SITES
Board of Trade Group Would Ex-
tend Authority Of
Commissioners.

A recommendation that the Dis
trict Commissioners be vested with
discretionary powers to buy new
school sites and to sell old ones, as
the need is determined, was made
yesterday by the school committee of
the Washington Board of Trade.
Available sites needed for school
purposes soon may become unavail-
able unless prompt action by city
officials is made possible it was
pointed out by Thomas P. Littlepage,
chairman of the committee. A bond
issue TO provide a means of carrying
out an adequate school-b building pro
gram was advocated by w. J. La
Varre.
Sites for schools, libraries, play
grounds and parks should be con-
sidered as a whole in a purchasing
program, it also was pointed out by
members of the committee. A legfs-
lative subcommittee of the school
committee is to be appointed to study
the matter.

through Aaron Sapiro. to the organi,
cation committee of the Idaho Potato
Growers Exchange. were assailed to-
day by Senator James A. Reed of Mis-
souri,, chief Of counsel for Henry Ford,
as evidence Of bad faith and defended
as entirely proper by Aaron Sapiro,
who seeks 81 1000, 600, upon So allega-
tionS of libel.
Senator Reed termed Weyl & Zuck-
erman spectators. and demanded
from Sapiro whether the notes and his
subsequent actions did not indicate
that the potato growers, whor1 he or
ganized comparatively ostensibly to
deliver them from spectators. had
not instead been banded together by
the spectators and finally delivered
into their hands.
SapirO Tells of Two Loans.
Sapiro replied that the loans, one
for 81 500 and the other for 81 500 had
been requested from the organization
committee Of the growers. and that he
acted for them in manner entirely
proper.
Upon demand of Sapiro's counsel.

demanded Senator Reed.

Il have no idea; l did what they

Sapiro admitted that at the time
