GRACE IS SMASHED;
I'd HOP UNCERTAIN.
Movie Flyer Uniniured, but
Heartbroken After Bad
& Fall in Hawaii.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANA, Island of Kauai, Hawaii,
July 5.-The twisted ruins of an air
plane, a broken-hearted aviator and
a disappointed field staff were all that
remained today OF the transoceanlc
flight project of Richard Grace. Holly
wood stunt flyer, who crashed to earth
here yesterday shortly after taking off
for n hop alone to California.
The ink which has haunted Grace
practically since he arrived and laid
plans for the flight permitted him to
come out of it unhurt. but the plane
was badly damaged. Whether he will
attempt to salvage his plane for an
other attempt has not been deter
mined.
The stunt flyer took off at spa am
Yesterday in his third attempt to head
for the mainland. While still near
the take-off point and before he had
headed his plane directly westward,
the tail of the monoplane was seen to
futter Grace headed it back toward
the beach runway and it nosed earth
ward at an alarming speed.
Keeps In Control.
Survivor of q other air crashes,
under control after a fashion, but it
struck bushes on the edge of the field.
The fuseIage and one wing were
smashed. but the stunt flyer crawled
out of the wreckage unhurt. He had
been in the air just 81 minutes.
No official explanation of the cause
of the trouble was forthcoming, but
it was believed the take-off over the
rough sands had so shaken the heavily
loaded plane that it's rudder was
weakened The plane carried 322 gal
Ions of gasoline and weighed more
than 1900 pounds.
Although materials have been or
dered for rebuilding the plane. it was
not made known whether the task
would be undertaken here. Grace and
his mechanism We're said to be consid-
ering returning to Honolulu tomorrow.
Flying Since 16 Years Old.
Grace has been flying since he was
16 years old. He now is 80. In pro-
viding thrills for the movies he has
wrecked 16 airplanes in as many de-
liberate crashes. The eight other
smash-ups were accidental. Only one
of these was serious. He sustained a
broken vertebra in one and earned
the name of 'the broken-necked flyer
In the transoceanic jump he was
backed by Maj. Grant Dodge of Los
Angeles.
Grace was one of the first to start
preliminaries for the flight between
Hawaii and California. He arrived in
Honolulu June "a and encountered
trouble in various forms almost from
the outset. First he failed to get the
right sort of propeller and had to
await one from Los Angeles. Then
dissention broke out among his as.
sistants and caused naval officers who
had been helping him to quit the field.
Sunday he tried twice to take off, but
was baked each time by puncture
in the tire of wheel on the landing
gear.

helped the American North Pole

after his other work was done.
Lieut. Balchen incurred some un.
popularity among his own people as a
result, and Comdr. Byrd offered to
bring him to the United States. Since

reputation for himself among pilots in

He handles the big Fokker planes
with unusual skill, and was test pilot
for Anthony Fokker for part of the

courage probably saved the lives of

LISTEN IN ON PHONES

Correspondence of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS. - Government employees
listen in on presumably private tele-
phone conversations in France. but
not from curiosity. They merely
want to be sure that the telephone
is working all right. They seldom
sit in on an entire conversation. con-
tenting themselves with sufficient
snatches to show whether the COM
munication is clear. From the many
complaints one hears, it may be as
sured they are more easily satisfied
with the clarity of the line than the
ordinary subscriber
When the RoyaliSt leader, Leon
Daudet, was released from prison by
a trick telephone call. it was eX-
planned by the embarrassed govern
ment that the inspectors who listen
in on telephone conversations were at
lunch at the time.
This aroused the League of the
Rights of Man. They wrote 20 the
minister of commerce to inquire
whether telephone conversations were
no longer secret. The minister eX-
planned that they were, but that in
each exchange was an observation
table," whose occupants cut into con-
versations to test the quality of the
service. But they do not tell what
they hear. he assured the league, for
all employees are sworn to secrecy
when they enter the telephone
service
