CHARGED
TO FLYER ON TRIAL
Lieut.. Finch Accused of
Reckless Violation of AIti-
tude Regulations.

Dy the ASSociateu fFeSS
ATLANTA. Ga. October 1S.-An
army court martial at Fort McPher-
saS. Ga. today awaited further testi-
s=cSy concerning the flight of First
Lieut.. George J. Finch of Selfridge
Held, Mch over Atlanta May ].
when it is charged the officer flew at
an altitude of less than 1000 feet in
violation of Army regulations.
Ten witnesses were called yester-
day to testify concerning t.t flight,
and among those to testify today was
Mai. Thomas G. Lanphier, commander
of the 1st Pursuit Group at Selfridge
Field. The major was en- route here
by plane.
AIotIerin-law a Witness.
Among the witnesses called yester
day was Mrs. Royal j. Miller mother
in-law of the flyer, who testified that
he flew so low over her home that the
officers wife, who was dangerously ILL.,
was badly frightened. She said he
flew almost as low as the tops of tele-
phone poles. Several witnesses cor
roborated Mrs. NIiller's testimony.
Col. c. H. Da1forth, Air Service
officer of the 4th Corps, who signed
the charges against the young avia-
tor, told the court that he observed
the plane flying over the city danger
ously low and later identified it as
that flown by Lieut.. Finch by the
markings on the wings.
Lieut.. Finch declares that there
were six landing places to which he
could have glided to a safe landing
in event of an emergency during the
flight in question. George w. Shealy,
commercial pilot, yesterday told the
court that six landing places were
available for the type of plane which
Lieut. Finch was flying at the time in
question.
Meets Perjury Charge.
In addition to the charge of flying
a plane ''recklessly" over the city in
violation of Army regulations, the
officer is being tried on charges of
perjury. 1t is charged that he vio-
lated his oath when he told an Army
inspector general on June Is at the
time he flew over the city of Atlanta
he was flying at an altitude of about
1000 feet
Lieut.. Finch was the member of a
squadron flying Army planes to Fort
Sam Houston, Tex, when he made
the flight for which he is being tried,
and was under the command of Capt.
III. M. Elmendorf, who told the court
he had given permission for the Off
Ger to circle over Atlanta, his home.

RECALLED SOVIET ENVOY
SLIPS AWAY FROM PARIS
Christian Rakovsky, Rejected by
France, Believed to Be on
Way to Berlin.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 1S.-Christian Ra-
kovsky, the Soviet Amba ssa>.or to
France, who was recalled by his gov
ernment at the request of the French
government, has slipped out of Paris
by automobile. 1t is believed that he
is headed for Berlin.
NJ Rakovsky did not trouble to pre-
sent letters of recall at the foreign
office and did not make any visits of
courtesy, such as retiring diplomats
are accustomed to do. Almost all of
Paris was abed when the Russian rep.
resentative left town. His bags and
baggage preceded him yesterday by
train.
The general newspaper comment
may be summarized in the phrase,
France is not sorry to have him go. .

field positions, more than made good.
Dykes is playing fine game at
first base," said Connie Mack, when
asked him about Jimmy. "On what
he has shown SO far, would say he
is the best man at the position since
the passing of 'Stuffy' McInnis."
After watching Dykes in action
for several games, I am inclined to
think that Connie Macks first base
worries are ended for some time.
Dykes looks to have the position
cinched for years to come. When
Branom returns to the Athletics, he
will have to show a world of stuff
to take the job away from Jimmy.

BRANOM WAS BUST


Digging up major league material
is a big gamble. Highly touted play
ers often fail while some little herald
ed recruit is showing signs of de-
veloping into a star.
One of the distinct disappoint-
ments of the present season was
"Dud" Branon, expected to win the
first base job on the Philadelphia
Athletics.
Branom cost the owners of the AS
approximately $35,O0O. He failed dis
mally in the field and at the bat
despite the fact he 3batted $50 in so
strong a league as the American As
sociation last season and fielded brill
liantly.
Mack recently sent him to the Port
land club of the Pacific Coast league,
where he is doing WE'LL No doubt a
poor start caused Branom to lose
confidence in himself.
Connie Mack is hopeful year at
Portland will bring it back and that
he may yet realize on the $4,000 ex-
pended for him.
While the failure of BranOnl wcs a
severe Jolt to the hopes Of the Ath-
letics, it was not without its good
points for it gave gfr1iy Dykes a
chance to prove his worth.

NEW KENNEWICK ROAD

Construction wcvk on the new
cutoff on the Kennewick road was
started by the county last week.
The new construction will be a lit
tic over four miles in length and the
gradeing and su:facing will be done
as fast as the weather will permit
The new route to Kennewick will
utilize the present gooe gravel road
from Richland north through Vale
instead of following the old route
accrdss the Fallon and Grosscup
bridges. At Vale, the new read will
head almost due west fcl- four miles
connecting up with the present road
Just above the Horn.
In addition to shortening the dis
tancc between White Bluffs and
Kennewick, the new route will eli

cAn1ArA plEAsEs

The music lovers of the valley
who braved the cold weather Sum
day afternoon to attend the cantata,
"star of the East" at the high
school auditorium were amply re-
paid f.: the effort. The choir which
was directed by Mrs. Earl Rowland
of Sunnyside gave evidence of much
careful rehearsal. The choruses were
voices nicely balanced, and some OF
them were exceptionally beautiful.
The singing of "Silent Night" as
the opening number was particul-
arly beautiful and effective. There
were several very fine voices among
the soloists and they were all much
appreciated by the audience.
Every one especially enjoyed Mrs.
Rowland's own opening sole, "The
Star" which gave the theme for the
cantata. The whole choir gave a
very finished performance and the
afternoon was most enjoyable.
After the concert. coffee and sand
wiches were served in the gymna-
SUM to fortify the singers for the
cold drive back to Sunnyside.

TENTATIVE PLANS FOR
HORTICULTURAL SCHOOLS

Tentative dates for the four two
day Horticulture schools to be held
at Prosser. Benton City, White Bluffs
and Kennewick have been set for
Monday and Tuesday January 30 and
3lst. We hope to be able to announce
these date as definitely set, in next
weeks paper.
Definite word has been received
from DR.. Magness, Professor Morris
from the Department of Horticulture
of the State College and E. ]. New
conner assistant Entomologist on cod
ling moth control, Yakima. that they
would be with us for this school, we
also expect to have M. d. Armstrong,
Extension Specialist in Horticulture
from the State College and Mr.. Harry
Jensen of the Prosser Branch Expert
ment station.
Definite program has not yet been
completed, but as soon as this has
been done it will also be. announced
in the press. As announced in last
weeks paper, work on orchard heating.
spray residue removal, orchard ferti-
lization potato certifcation and grow
ing, and wire worm control, will be
taken, up at these schools.
The dates for the two-day poultry
school to be held at Prosser and the
one-day school at Hanford, and we
hope the school to be held at Pasco,
will be announced within the near
future. A definite program has not yet
been worked but we hope to be able
to announce both, program and dates
soon.
The past two weeks have been spent
largely in visiting farms and check
ing up on possibilities Of organizing
cow testing association for the
county. More than so farms have been
visited and we have approximately $50
cows for which the owners have ex.
pressed desire to have COW testing
association work.
Most of these herds are located
around Kennewick and we feel that
bv the time we have been able to
visit the remaining farms near Ker-
nwick and those at RichIand. Benton
City. Prosser and White Bluffs that
it should be possible to organize ali
association.
Cow testing association work Is
the one big essential in real herd
building and this section Of the State
needs this work very much.
The dairy schools announced in last
weeks paper will probably ie cornbin-
ed with some crops and poossibly with
Horticulture, because Of our inability
to secure some Of the speakers wanted.
at the Horticultural schools. This
combined dairy and crops school will
De held after the middle of March,
at which time it will be possible fnr US
to have c. C.. WRIGHT in charge OF
Irritation work under the Federal de-
partrnent and working with the Ex-
pertinent station at Prosser. We feel
after conversation with Mr.. Wright
that there is a fund of information
available which is not being made use
of.
We hope to be able to have Roy
loves Extension Specialist in Dairy
and Leonard Hegnauer. Extension
'rors Srecia,ist. OF State College; c.
c Wright II. S. Department Of Aeri-
culture. Harry Singleton and Roy
Bean, of the Experiment station

piled for their new auto licenses. They
also tcld him that large force would

come effective on January /. 1928 and
the Automobile club of Washington

weeks, the club has been advised.
Direct warfare will be waged aga
inst motorists who display binding
