Powerless Airplme Is
 Brought Safely Dopn
 By Gigantic Parachute

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-
 The successful use of a gigantic parachute in bringing a power less airplane safely to earth was
 accomplished near here yester- day. The feat is hailed in avia- tion circles as a device which
 means absolute safety" for pas
 senger aircraft.
 The device is the invention of Charles Vroderick, of San Fran
 cisco. The device consists of one
 parachute 72 feet in diameter
 capable of sustaining an airplane
 and small chute which acts as a
 pilot fer the larger one. The l little chute is used to draw the big one out of the plane. In the experiment., k. J. Me 1 Keen, veteran San Francisco pilot, took wartime Jenny plane,
 condemned as unseryiceable, A.
 coo feet up into the air, shut off
 the motor and put the safety de-
 vice into action.
 McKeon tossed the small chute
 overheard. It opened at once
 and a short time later pulled the
 big parachute out at 1,500 feet and the drop was checked. The airplane, pilot and para chute floated gently to the earth
 and the plane was only slightly damaged in landing.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 25 West Virginia's contests for presidential preference will be de. cided at the state primary May %. On the border line between the "solid south" and the uncertain north" the state will become the battle ground for spirited clashes both in the Republican and Demo, cratic parties. West Virginia has 19 votes in the Republican con vention and 16 in the Houston party barley. These are the last Republican delegates to be se- lected.
 Secretary of Commerce Hoover again will come to grips with a "favorite son." entering the Re. publican primary against Senator Guy D. Golf.
 Senator James A. Reed of Mis- souri and Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York will compete for the endorsement of the Democratic electors.
 Of prime interest also in the state is the three-cornered con test for the Republican senatorial nomination, with Gov. Howard M. Gore, Dr. Henry D. Hatfield, a former governor, and former Rep. Benjamin l.. Rosenbloom seeking that office. Senator M. M. Nicely, Democrat, is unopposed for the party nomination for reelection.
 As leader of the Smith forces in West Virginia, c. w. Osenton, Democratic national committees man, entered the name of the New York executive in the pri- mary as a defensive move to pro- tect a slate of delegates pledged to his candidacy. While popular choice in West Virginia is not binding upon the delegates, Osen- ton said it carried a moral obliga- tion, but that with Smith an ac. tive candidate. delegates for him would be "doubly protected" The Reed forces did not file a slate of delegates pledged to the Mis- sOuri senator
 Filing of the Smith and Reed certificates developed a move ment for an unpledged Demo- cratic delegation, and a score of candidates for delegate filed amendments to their declarations stating 1t was obvious" that vo- ters will have no flair opportuni- ty" to express their real choice for president. and announcing they would not feel bonud to support anyone "who might appear to be the popular choice" Spokesmen for those delegates said their at titude was anti-Smith rather than in favor of any particular candi- date.
