ALICHTED ON
SEA EASILY
Food Supply of Is Days
Relieved Worries Of
Hunger

GIBRALTAR, July 2.=P)-Short-
age of water, cold, rough seas and
4 bitter sense of being at the mercy
of the waves were the cnier memo
RES Of Maj. Ramon Franco and his
three companions who reached Gil
braltar today.
ASK anything you want" said
Major Franco to the correspondent
of The Associated Press who talked
with him. The major was dressed
In khaki. The suit had been given
him by one of the members of the
Eagles crew.
Il Out o. gas and, much to their sur
prise, beyond the Azores, the air
men we've compelled to alight on
the sea.
"The landing was made perfectly
On a quiet sea-" said Major Franco.
MY watch showed nine in the
morning. At first we did not know
where we were although we pre-
eumed we could not be SO rar from
the Azores. Then the sea became
rough, and strong winds pushed the
plane from one side to the other.
We saw no vessel. We felt slightly
cold. Naturally we were much dis
appointed. Thinking we would 500
see a boat, we settled ourselves ana
arranged to stand guard.
I'VE were not worried about eat
ing since we had food for Is days.
The first night we did not sleep
although at dawn I had a little nap
In the commanding cabin. On the
morning of the 23rd the sea was
rough, and we feared for the plane.
We eve thought of dismounting
the wings to avoid being ship
wrecked. However, thanks to God,
this was not necessary.
I'VE began, then, to feel thirsty,
but soon decided to drink the wa
ter stored in the radiator. We did
not drink at all. There is some.
Sea Was Rough
"The following night was rather
bad. 1t was cold and we had to
put on our fur overcoats. The sea
was rough and the plane was be-
ing buffeted by the waves. One of
them dented the left wing, and the
man on watch became wet. We were
bginning to feel somewhat uneasy,
and nobody slept.
"We spent the night in the best
manner we could. Toward morning
the sea became calmer, and we
were able to rest a little. We did
not eat much. We were hoping to
see some ships. On the night of the
gath we began to light rockets, but
cur signals were sent up to no avail.
Doubts began assailing us because
the realization dawned on us that
We were at the mercy of the waves.
Yet even though we were outside
the regular steamer lanes, we did
not lose hope altogether.
when topics of conversation be-
came exhausted during u moments
Of leisure, when we were not on
watch, we began to wonder what our
families were thinking in Spain.
During the day the sun bothered
as some, you ear see that we are
tanned, but I can assure you that
we did not suffer from hunger. Food
and the water we got from the ra-
diator to make up for our shortage
of regular drinking water, were suf-
ficient.
we spent our time scanning the
horizon. There was one moment
when we almost despaired Of ever
being saved. We shall always re-
member the night of the 9th which

HIP TIME LIMIT
HELD MINOR POINT
heal Significance Declared to
{ Be Effect on Europe and
Naval World.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Defiance of the expressed wish of
President Coolidge that no time limit
sbe set for the construction Of the
'cruisers is only an incidental phase Of
|Senate action on the naval bill. The
real significance lies in the effect IN
Europe and throughout the naval world.
The fact that the American Senate
felt justified in going ahead with
cruiser program Notwithstanding the
abortion BIZ the same body recently Of
the Kellogg peace treaties or anti-war
pacts is going to require considerable
explanation. And the general impress
sion today was that it made more nee
lessary than ever an early and dramatic
move toward general reduction of naval
armament.
Aided by Strange Allies.
\ The feeling has prevailed here that
unless there was limitation by inter-
national agreement the United States
should not lag behind in naval con-
struction. While it is true the pre-
paredness groups have advocated this
because of their conscientious belief

ALFRED THOMSON KILLED
IN CROSSING CAR TRACKS
Resident Known as Novelist and
Playwright Victim of Accident
Near District Line.

4 Alfred Thomson, novelist, poet and
playwright, was killed last night when
run down by a street car while crossing
the Glen Echo tracks about fifty feet
from the District line. He Yves 10 years
old.
Motorman Robert M. Bowman and
Conductor E. B. Queen, the crew in
charge of the car, were questioned at
the seventh precinct station after the
accident. They were not held.
Bowman told the police the man
walked onto the tracks in front OF the
car and that, even though the car was
moving at low rate of speed, he could
not stop it quickly enough to avoid
the accident. Mr.. Thomson was pro-
nounced dead upon arrival at George
town Hospital, where he was taken IN
an automobile.
He was acting as caretaker OF the
Summer home of T. Solberg. register
of copyrights at the Library OF Con-
gress The Summer home is Located
on Conduit road, just over the DISTRICT
of Columbia line.
So far as police could learn, Thom-
son has no living relatives. Solberg
said the man had told him OF ms
early life, which was devoted to writ
ing and dramatic work, but that he
knew nothing of his history.

that true safety lies in such a course,
they have been aided by strange allies
those groups that have felt the United
States would have less influence in a
disarmament conference If the famous
SIS ratio were to be unequally eX-
ecuted SO far as the United States is
concerned. In other words, to build In
order to aave an opportunity to force
other nations to agree to discard is
the idea behind many OF those who
voted ior the extra cruisers In the
Senate.
The problem goes square1y before
Herbert Hoover as one OF the flrSt OF
his administration. The European pow
ers have been waiting for him ever
since the Coolidge Arnistice day speech
showed them there was little oppor-
tunity for agreement along the lines OF
the last naval conference at Geneva.
Against Defense Loans.
The 10-year period during which
capital ship sizes were limited is coming
TO an end Mr. Hoover feels that
American funds should not be borrowed
to keep up military or naval estab-
lishments in Europe. The occasion for
another international conference is
arising and action by the American
C-'"~resS will force such u move earlier
tina, the Congress had drifted away
and allowed the main cards at the table
of diplomacy to be dropped altogether.
Far from being a gesture toward
navalism the end probably will be the
construction of not many extra cruisers,
but general limitation and scrapping
of armament all around-the alterna-
tive being a race in navies which the
public opinion of neither Great Britain
nor the United States would support.

CHILD HIT BY STREET CAR
ONLY SLIGHTLY BRUISED
22-Month-old James Abortion, Jr.,

Hurled Backward a Distance
of Several Yards.

Knocked head over heels for dis
lance of several yards by street car
in the 800 block of Upshur street yester-
day afternoon, 22-month-old James
Abortion, jr., of 4217 Seventh street
escaped with only slight bruises.
The child was hurled backward by the
car. He had been taking a walk with
his aunt, Miss Marian Nichols, II years
old, of the Seventh street address. Sud-
denly he dashed away and out into the
street.
Motorman Rogers Camphler on an
approaching Washington Railway g.
Electric Co. car applied the brakes, but
was unable to bring the car to a halt
in time. Miss Nichols picked up the
boy and, as he appeared to be unhurt,
hurried him home.
DR.. William Hardesty of the Argonne
Apartments was summoned. Besides a
few bruises, the physician could find
nothing the matter with the boy.

By IRVING KEITH.

The rapid industrialization of Vir-
ginia calls for an expansion of Com
munist activity and a concentration
of Communist forces in the state. In
the Tidewater district of Virginia,
which embraces Norfolk and that
part of the state Immediately sur
rounding it, are quite a number of
large manufacturing plants. In
these plants working conditions are
miserable, wages are very small and
the average working day is ten
hours.
General Conditions.
As direct result of the very low
wage scale living conditions are al
most unbearable. For the Negro
workers particularly, is this true.
They are forced to live in rambling
shanties which have no means for
either lighting or heating.
For the white workers conditions
are slightly better, and since the
general tendency is to compare their
standard of living with that of the
poorest class of workers, i. e., the
masses of Negro workers, they do
not consider themselves in as poor
condition as they really are.
No attempt has been made to es-
tablish nuclei in any of these mills.
1t is of the utmost importance that
our Party take up Immediately the
task of organizing nuclei in these
factories and mills.
The War Danger.
In the Tidewater district of Vir-
ginia are several bases for the manu-
facture and storage of war materials.
In Norfolk and Portsmouth are the
Navy Yards and Naval and marine
bases, in Newport News and Hamp-
ton Roads, the ship yards and naval
bases as we'll as warehouses for the
storage of munitions. Virginia has
several air ports and is now pre-
pairing for the building of several
] more. Throughout the state are
scattered military academies of vari-
Gus sizes. The two largest are the
Virginia Military Institute and the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
Thus we see Virginia as center
of preparation for the coming i'm
perialist war. At this time when
we are bending every effort to fight
militarism and the preparations for
this next imperialist war these
places become important centers and
as result Virginia becomes one of
the most strategic points in the
country.
In the Navy Yard at Portsmouth
there is a strong group of militant
workers. This militant element has
not been developed, nor has there
been any attempt made to develop
