tion Of King George.
The bulletin issued at Bucking-

"Dawson of Penn
Despite the fact that the last
three bulletins from the palace in
dicatcd an improvement in the
King $ condition after n severe re
lapse Thursday, palace officials con
sidcrcd the entire situation MS I'M
favorable.
1t was pointed out that the morn
ing bulletin merely mentioned that
the King had had a quiet night, but
there was nothing to indicate
whether the monarch was getting
rrsttul sleep so necessary to the
weakened condition of his constitu-
tion at the beginning of the sixth
week of n severe illness.
1t was said authoritativcly at the
palace today that :hc new treat
mcnt to be employed in the Kings
sickness, which was determined
upon AT consultation of five Of
his physicians Friday, will be a new
course of medicine.
Some medical circles had believed
that the treatment would involve
blood trahsfusions, but palace auth
critics said that this had not been
considered.

TRAIN WRECKLNG

29-Authorities today directed a
search for Harry Palmer, alleged
abductor of Richard Grant, | year
old Los Angeles boy, in the belief
that Palmer may have been impli
Gated in the wrccking of the Santa
Fe Missionary near Hespcria Thurs
day morning.
Investigators stated that one set
of footprints found at the scene of
the dcrailmcnt were those of man
and the ohcr of Il boy. Fred +.
Phillips, chief Of the Santa Fc invcs-
tigation staff, said that a chcckup
showed that the prints corrcsponded
in size with those Of Palmer and the
Grant boy.
Phillips further revealed that a
man answering Pamer's dcscrip-
tion, and Il boy resembling Grant,
registered at NictorvilIc hotel
Sunday. He said they left Monday
obviously to go to Las Vegas, Ncv.
Authorities who first believed
the Wrccking was due to a desire to
seek revenge by former disgruntled
railroad employees, today expressed
the belief that robbery may have
been the motive. They believe the
asserted robbers lost their nerve
when thcf anticipated panic among
passengers failed to materializc at
ter the train was hurled off the
tracks over an cmbankmcnt.
Although the entire train left the
track and three ears overturned
only two passengers received in
jurics of any consequence.

any possible misinterpretation of
his interview with President Hipo-
Ito lrigoyen of Argentina regard

Mr.. Hoover clearly indicated dur

the affairs Of other countries was
not a policy of the United States.
The President elect simultaneously
indicated that circumstances some
times forced the United States to
protect the lives and property of

Argentine officials that the increas-

United States gradually would over
take the production of foodstuffs.
thus reducing American competition
of these commodities in the world
market.
Mr.. Hoover was said to have
avoided carefully an expression of

some plan outlined whereby the
matter of secondary roads may be
placed before the people at the

ALBATROSS CREW
MAY TRY AGAIN
TO SET RECORD
Plane Will Be Repaired
And New Start Planned
For Next Month.

Jack Gugliclmctti and Charles
Rochovillc, pilots ef the AlbatroSS
mouoplanc forced down near FrinE
yesterday morning about an hour
after the takcoff for world 5 en-
durancc flight record attempt, left
yesterday afternoon by automobile
for Long Beach.
Both aviators were greatly de
pressed and badly shaken over their
failure to keep the plane in the air.
However, the flyers declared, they
expect to return to Imperial Valley
with the Albatross for another try
at the worlds sustained flight
record, probably next month.
AS the flyers left they expressed
their appreciation for the manner
in which the residents of Imperial
Valley received them during their
stay here, and the many courtcsies
shown them.
When the ship was forced down
the aviatorS were headed for tn"
Salton Sea district where atmos-
rhcric conditions were found to be
admirable for such Il flight the day
before the takeoff.
During the tuning up of the
motors and final conditioning tests
Thursday, the Albatross was taken
over Salton Sea and the surrounding
area twice. The deadencd condition
of the air there yesterday came as
a surprise, as the atmosphere the
day before was said to be exec llcnt
for flying.
Lands In Mud
The gold and blue plane landed
in the mud near Frink and with the
impact the propeller was broken and
the landing gear badly damaged.
Neither Of the flyers was seriously
hurt although they did receive
scratches and bruises when thcr
were thrown against the instrument
board Of the pilots cockpit.
Lightncss Of the air and th5
ncavy load Of fuel carried by the
plane was declared to have forced
it to earth. Rochcvillc and Guglicl.
mctti, when they started down
headed their snip for solid ground
/ but laIidcd in mud about - fccl
| from where the crrth would have
been hard enough to have sustained
( the AlbatroSS.
Because Of the large supply of
fuel, the plane WAS too heavy to
gain altitude and when the pilots
found it necessary to descend, their
ship was not high enough to provide
sufficient coasting range.
The AlhatroSS was to be dis
mantlcd where it lay beginning to-
day and hauled by motor truck tC
! Long Beach. 1t is expected the
| plane will be rc-conditioned thcr,
for another try at the endurance
record over Imperial Valley prob
ably during the time of the full
