 SHOOTING STORY
Nan Sta6gers Into New Haven
 Hospital Wounded

New Haven, Aug. 27 R - With blood flowing from a bullet hole through the calf of his left leg, Charles Cameron, 30, staggered into Grace hospital early Friday and told a story of a highway shooting which detectives are still investigating.
 Cameron told detectives that he vas driving his car alone along the highway between Waterbury and Naugatuck on his way to his home in his city after attending a dance in Waterbury when he saw car, about % feet ahead of him, parked cross ,g ise of the highway. He said he -lowed up and finally stopped wait ng for the car to move.
 When no move to change the cars position was made he got out Of his car he said and started for the other automobile to investigate. Suddenly and without warning two shots fash ed from the parked car, the second shot striking Camerons leg. He fell 10 the ground and probably fainted for upon recovering from the shocks he discovered that the other car had disappeared, according to his story.

AWATORS HONOR
 MME. NUNGESSER
Is Sort of Official Mother to
 Airmen

Paris, Aug. 27. P1For the son she lost fate has sent some compen- sation to Madame Nungesser, who with Coli and the White Bird disap- peared into the unknown, martyrs of scientific aviation.
 Aviators have made a sort of un- official mother of Madame Nunges- ser. Her Paris apartment has be- come a haven of inspiration for flyers of the world. Parisians re- gard her simple home as sort of shrine, place as sacred to avia- tion in its way as the tomb of the unknown soldier under the Arc de Triomphe. is to soldiers of the Great War.
 Madame Nungesser was badly af- fected by the news of her sons disappearance coming on top of the false news of his successful ar rival in the United States. But the comfort of this adoption by the sympathetic world has done much to rebuild her health.
 The honors which I.indbergh, Chamberlin and Byrd and his com panions shared with her by calling upon her in the first flush Of their triumph were only a beginning of the tribute. Hardly a week goes by without some aviation society or delegation asking to call to eS- press sympathy and admiration of her courage. Private citizens leave flowers and messages at her door. One of the recent delegations was committee from the Ameri can Legion which conveyed the sympathy and respect of the eX- soldiers organization. A IA year old girl flyer came with the loving sympathy of group of American women aviators.
 'Frence has done everything in its power to make up 10 Charles Nungesser's mother, for the loss of her son.
 Despite the cumulativH evidence that Nungessor and Coli have per ished Madame N,mgesser contin- ues to hope.
 Until there is positive proof l must hope on" are her words. Any mother would do the same.'

President Hindcnburg Likes Huntin" Stories

There is one subject that pIeases President von Hindenburg more than any other. according 10 Pro lessor Hugo Vogel. his painter, who recently published a book entitled, When I Painted Hindenburg."
 "Hindenburg is most agreeable when there is a hunting party in the offing," Nogel writes: He likes to narrate hunting experiences. His eyes then sparkle with joy. Big game is his passion"
 Hindenburg'S favorite hunting story was told him by an old hunter who visited great army headquar ters in October. 1916. The story is that a hunter laid traps for jays high up in a pine tree, only to dis cover he had caught a big carp in stead of a bird. An eagle had caught a carp in a nearby pond. As it was about to fly over the tree, a hunter leveled his gun at the eagle, which in it's fright. dropped the carp into the trap.

GERMANY ENDORSES 1
 WAR REFERENDUM .
Would Take War Decisions From
 Governments

Berlin. Aug. 27. P>-Ambassado Houghton's advocacy of popular referendum on war has the unqual- flied approval of Prof. Albrecht Mendclssohn-B -Bartholdy of Ham Carnegie Endowment for 1ntcrna- tional Peace and prominent author fly on international law. His en- dorscment of the ambassadors plan has appeared here as a preface to q German translation Of the refer cndum plan.
 "The outstanding merit of Ambas- sador Houghton's proposal 10 take 2 decision 10 go to war out of the hands of governments and to mak" the peoples affected decide it for themselves, Is its sterling honesty" he says. "Others have made sug- eestions that looked good. too. But they were suggestions of the kind that governments might accept with mental reservations, and they were full of loopholes."
 "One might reply 10 MT. Tough ton" continued Mendelssohn-B Bar tholdy. that dem ocracies are more eXcitable, more nationalistic more credulous than governments or per manent officials, in whose hands, as We all know, the decision for war or peace lies. Quoting Jeremiah Would the peoples of Germany and Austria have chosen peace in 1914? Would the people of the United States, in lS9S?'
 Nobody knows. But there ought to b" no more wars, with all belig crents swearing they never wanted war and no one being able 10 ex- plain why it was waged at all.
 States outside of the League Of Nations, like the United States and Russia. could subscribe 10 the Houghton plan without any impair ment Of their sovereignty.
 "The great feature of the plan is the duty of a government toward it's people-a violation of which by Q government would automatically relcasel its people from allegiance to if al crucial time when the state needs the allegiance of all it's citizens. For that reason alone. the duty would be strictly observed by all governments.
 Ambassador Houg plan is our plan, and We will give if our whole hearted support, in Germany, in Europe, and In the world.'

VOn Maltzan Discusses American SkysCraDerS

Ambassad dor von Maltzan believes American architects, perhaps un- consciously derived their ideas for skyscrapers from the natural forma- tions of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 "The most impressive thing saw in America" he said to a group of American correspondents, was the Grand Canyon. And like a revelation it dawned upon me that there's where your architects got their ideas for your characteristic Ameri- can style of building big structures,
 Take your latest skyscrapers. for instance. with their receding facade, each set of stories being little further back from the street than the next lower series. The Grand Canyon shows just such formations. The same thing is true of certain types of flat top structures.
 "I don't mean to say that any architect consciously sat down and copied Grand Canyon models But the art of every country is naturally influenced by the natural environ ment"
