DAWN TURNED BACK
 BEFORE ACCIDENT
Pilot OYerruled Mrs. Grayson'S
 Wishes on Flight

Old Orchard. Me, Oct c6 P- Clouds of doubt were plainly visible today on the horizon of the Grayson America a-to-Copenhagen flight pro- iect as new details of last Sundays 'mutiny" became known and as delay in delivery of a new engine forced postponement Of the earliest moment when fourth attempt 10 set away will be possible.
 That the flight, which contrary winds, perverse transatlantic wealth CT, overloaded gas tanks and finally q faulty motor has kept on the ground, here and at Roosevelt Field, l.. l.. since early in September may be put off entirely until next spring was admitted for the first time by Mrs. Francis W. Grayson, its com mander.
 She conceded that it would be im- possible for the Dawn, her big am- phibian monoplane, 10 be put in con- dition before Saturday. But even that will be reckoning without weather which has played so large a part in past delays.
 Records show, she said, that De- tober normally has only from four 10 eight days when transoceanic fly ing is possible, and already there have at least five such with the Dawn still firmly entrenched on the silver crescent of sand that is old Orchard Beach.
 The Wright motor which was 10 have reached here yesterday from the Paterson, x. J., plant is now expected today and a crew of mechanics is idling time in the meanwhile.
 Stories of dissension between Mrs. Grayson and her pilot. Winner Stultz continued to meet with silence from both principals in the face of reports that the latter virtually took over command Of the plane last Sunday and had turned it's nose westward long before engine trouble developed.
 According to version heard here. Mrs. Grayson first discovered that the Dawn was headed back here after the machine had reached the vicinity of Sable Island. x. S.. Stultz felt it was hopeless to hold the ma chine at sufficient altitude for safety in the face of 6 heavy fog into which they were running and, accordingly. banked the machine and turned about. Mrs. Grayson. it was said, thought the banking was to gain altitude and only when she glanced at the compass learned that their third attempt was doomed to disappointment.
 Subsequently an exhaust valve in the left motor damned and. after hroadcasting an $ c $. call and making tentative plans for landing near a freight'er which was in the vicinity, the Dawn managed to reach home on one and a half mo- OTIS. as fliers described it.
 Mrs. Grayson and Stultz agreed in their stories on the return of the plane and it was only through chance remarks that the discropan- cos were noted. Today both ap- pcarcd entirely amicablc and both refused to add anything further to their previous r"fusals to discuss the reported difficulty.
 Brice Goldsborough' navigator and radio operator Of the expedition was not involved in the controversy and has maintained silence in the face of the reported disscnslon Of his commander and Stultz.

LIVERPOOL WOMAN
 IS CHOSEN MAYOR
City Council Elects Miss Mar
 garet BeaYan

Liverpool, Eng. Oct. 25LP-Liv- erpool is to have a 125 pound eXecu- tive. Miss Margaret Beavan has been elected lord mayor by the city council.
 Miss Beavan, known as the Lit tle Mother" on account of her inter- est in charities, will be the first an English city. She regards the honor less as a personal compliment than as q gesture of acknowledg- ment of what women of tine city have done at home and in public for the good of the city.
 She started her social work 26 years ago in a back street in Liver pool, and from this humble begin ming founded the Liverpool Child Welfare association, which has as sisted more than 1000 children and maintained 30, 0,000 in homes or special hospitals.
 Miss Beavan is a fluent speaker justice of the peace, a city Coun- cillor and a conservative in politics.
 Miss Bcavan's selection as lord mayor Of Liverpool brought state ments from the men of the London guilds that no woman would be lord mayor of London so long as they could guard their ancient privileges.
 Mrs. Oliver Strachey. who has long interested herself in London politics. objects strenuously against this sex disqualification.
 Mrs. Charles Hornibrook. member of the Bishop of Londons morality council. is in favor of women mayors.
 "I would do away with some of the feastings and the drinking that goes on,' she said, and would fol- low the example of Dick Whiting ton and look after the poor. l hope Miss BeaVan agrees with me-"

The Famous and Obscure

poem on Llndy's transatlantic flight. ,and forever hold their peace.
 The Famous and Obscure
 Never. say literary authorities, has there been such a tip of of the divine spark hidden behind oycralls and silk shirts alike. Contestants ranged from nationally-known muses such as Ren"t. Bynncr and Deutsch to anonymous Bill Smiths and sam Jones.
 And, out Of this avalanche of verses, rose the fresh imagination of a ] 1 year old child Nathalia Crane. Rrooklyn's poot-prodiey who became nationally famed in the literary marts a year ago with her verse book, "The Janitor's Boy"
 On Wings of Lead" Nathalia flew away with the Kennerly prize She had begun 10 compose this epic long before the prize competition was announced.
 While Lindy Flew
 The younSster surprised her mother one morning, when the newspapers had reported Lindy somewhere east of Newfoundland, by remarking:
 He saw a vision. He accepted q challenge from the gods
 What on earth are you talking about? 2" asked Mrs. Crane.
 "Lindy, of course,' answered the child with far-away eyes.
 Tt seemed to me-" said Nathalia that the gods were sitting up on Mt Olympus looking down upon the world .... and they found it pretty dull. They decided that it was about time to give it a shot of inspiration 50 they selected Lindy. challenged him and found that he accepted the challenge"
 Nathalia explained her title by stating tat Wings of Lead" typi- fled the impossible" which Lindy accomplished.
 In a volume entitled The Spirit of St. Louis the prize poem is soon to appear. Here it is in part: And then one night there landed on
 Minoola swale A plane that looked like pewter,
 with a carrier of mail. It's wings were tinGed with tea box
 skins, each truss of shadow
 gray,
 Its cabin but an alcovo slung be-
 meath a metal ray. The Spirit Of St. Louis was inscribed
 upon the lee;
 It came from out a province that
 had never see the sea. The pilot entered for the course, the
 quarter quadrant glide To fly the full Atlantic and the tag
 ends the tide
 He listed in as "Lindbergh" just one
 pace beyond the ranks He had moon stained paddle and
 some star gas in his tanks. A chemist from Olympus with 8
 ladle nicked the rays: He said the ore was purer than it
 was in Caesars lays. Invisible, he passed the word, the
 barograph was scaled A plane with lcaden wings went
 down the Mineola field. It rose and fell and rose again and
