FEAR FOR SEA
filters CROWS
Swiss Aviators Are Believed
HeadWinds Victims.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK. Aug. 22-Fear grew
today that the two Swiss filters, who
attempted flight from Lisbon to
New York no longer were among
the living.
The silence concerning their at
tempted conquest of the hazardous
passage of the Atlantic has been
unbroken since Monday afternoon
when the plane flown by Oscar
Kaesar and Kurt Luescher was
sighted over the Azores.
The f1ierS, neither Of whom had
celebrated his 23d birthday, were
believed by aviation experts to have
fallen victim to the relentless head
winds that shove themselves against
the nose of any west-bound At
lantic plane, eating up fuel at a
Misunderstanding rate.
Should the Swiss youths be alive,
they probably either are floating in
their rubber lifeboat or have come
down in some isolated spot IN New
Foundland or Halifax.
Admiral NIldl4SS T. 1A0SAACo, NAA1O1
of naval operations, has ordered all
naval vessels in the North Atlantic
to watch for the aviators. Merchant
ships also have been requested to
keep a lokout.
If the f1iers succeeded in reach
ing the Canadian coast, they might
easily be isolated for weeks without
any one being aware Of their fate.

Frank harrington Branded

Journal Editor.

Declaration of war against John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, by Frank
Harrington, former president of the
Illinois unit of the organization, was
scorned today by Ellis Searles, editor
of the United Mine Workers Jour-
nal.

United Mine Workers three years
ago." Searles said, land I can not
regard seriously any war which he
might wage against the union as
long as he is not connected officially
with the organization"
Lewis could not be reached for a
statement.
Lewis is Assailed
Nowhere in the history of the
trade union movement in America"
Harrington wrote, sis there en-
braced the record of another hap

despair as the dinintegration of the

within its own ranks, this once mill
tant fighting force of more than a
half million men is but a remnant
of its former greatness"
After describing what he termed
the ''disintegration of the national
organization" harrington asked:
who is responsible for this over
whelning disaster, this criminal
wrong against the miners? His
name is John l.. Lewis"
SearIes Slaps Harrington
The crux of Farrington's article
was contained in his charge that

Searles, in simplifying his state
ments, said that Harrington was re-
moved from his position as president
Of the Illinois union because he was
found to be in the employ of the
coal operators of that state while he
was serving as president of the mine
workers union.
"a man with no more standing
than a representative of the OPP
orators is not a serious menace"
Searles declared.

Boys and Girls Improve
Rapidly in Health at
Play Center.
BY ELDORA FIELD

If Indianapolis citizens who have
bought Christmas seals could see the
beautiful, rolling acres of the nutri-
ton camp, one mile north of Bridge
port, that their money helped to
buy
If they could watch the thin but
happy children who scamper over the
grass and frolic in White Lick
creek
Then they would be glad Of their
part in this health-building project
of the Marion County tuberculosis
Association and the city board OF
health.
Examination shows that fully
one third of indianapolis school
children are under weight" said
Miss Mary Meyers, executive sec
rotary of the association. IF con-
tinued absences from school because
of illness are noted by the school
nurses, special effort is made TO-
ward combating conditions that
threaten serious disease.
Work Is Proved
1.-THE camp is an experiment where
we are trying to prove what right
food and a schedule of outdoor
activities can do for these boys and
girls"
"Of course the number we can &C
commodate in the camp Is ridicu-
lousy out of proportion to those
who should be here. AS 1t is, the
camp is doing a big work"
About twenty-five children form
each group, which stays in camp five
weeks. The boys are having their
turn this month. The girls, who left
on July 81, made an average gain
of four pounds, although one re-
corded weight of thirteen pounds.
"That little girl was practically
starved when she arrived" said Miss
Meyers. "Of course her gain was
unusual"
Boys Play Hard
"The boys of the camp get up as
soon as daylight permits, said Mrs.
Elizabeth Sayle, director. "They
play harder than the girls and ex-
cept for enforced rest periods and
their meals, they keep up one merry
frolic. One little boy cried his way
here. There was really not room for
any more, but his extreme desire to
come, overcame objections"
Miss Stella Glasson Is assistant
director and nurse. Fred A. Sim is
president of the Marion County Tu-
berculoSiS Association.
