inal court.
Prosecutor William HI. Remy and his
special assistants were equally certain

to continue in office upon the formal
passage of sentence. The jury which
found Duvan guilty of making deal
with local politician, ruled that the
defendant should be disbarred from
public office for four years from No

English Channel Later in the after
noon the plane descended to the
waters Of the Elbe here, after a flight
of approximately 1870 miles.
The pilot, Horst Merz, well-known

was decided that the plane would
hop off for Amsterdam tomorrow.

"A soggy flying field prevented Dieu-

Brix from carrying out their project
of landing their plane the Nungesser-

Torrential rains had so softened the

ducing songs that made me laugh

obeying." "I'd gladly play through

Now, see here, Warrington" he

There's another point you've overlook
