SPANISH FLYERS
MISSED RECORD
BY SHORT SPACE
Aviators Badly Tired At
Conclusion Of Long Hop
From Seville.

BAHIA, Brazil March y. (U.P-
Two exhausted Spanish aviators who
landed at Camassary aerodrome here
Yesterday morning after trans-At-
lantic flight from Spain, slept late
today before preparing to continue
to Rio De Janeiro at daybreak
Thursday.
Captain Francisco Iglesias and
Capt Ignacia Jiminez missed new
world s long distance flight record
by about $50 miles, according to
their figures which checked with
calculations made by Brazilian avia-
tion officials. The flyers covered
approximately 4,067 miles, in almost
straight line of flight from Seville,
down the African coast, across the
South Atlantic and to Bahia, via
Natal.
Captain Iglesas described their
flight to the United Press corrcspon-
dent, praising the single motored air
plane Jesus de Gran Poder which
could have continued on to Rio De
Janeiro but for lack of fuel. Cap
tain Jiminez also was suffering from
an attack of urticaria (nettle rash)
and his illness was partly responsible
for their decision to land at Bahia
rather than continue until the fuel
gave completely out.
"The flight was made under eX-
cellent conditions until after we had
crossed the equator,' Captain Igle-
! sias said. "'Upon our arrival off
! the Brazilian coast we encountered
wind and rain. The storm was Sc

WASHINGTON. March - (U.P) D.
The state department today chose
ITS battle-ground for the argument
which will crSuc if Canada protests
the sinking of the rum smugglcr
IN Alone 200 miles off the Amcri-
can coast, by United States coast
guard cutters.
But almost simultaneously II be
came known Canada may prefer to
permit the I'rr Alone ease to be
handled by United States courts in
stead OF hy diplomatic negotiations,
While diplomats ponderod the
available facts and preccdents, con
ercsyioual leaders evidenced an in
crcasing interest in the ease, Al
though refusing to speak now for
quotation, one congressional auth.
ority ou international law firmly
upheld the coast guard S right to
overhaul and sink the IN Alone,
If this attitude were maintained

or separations which might be- mad

NO ABILITY As
LOVE MAKER IS
JACOBSON PLEA
Accused Councilman De-
nies Enga ging in Roman
tic Scenes.

LOS ANGELES, March p. U.P)-
Under the most lenient terms Coun-
Gilman Carl |. JACOBSON couldn T
consider himself much of love
maker he said today in denying that
he engaged in any romantic scenes
with Mrs. Callie Grimes, one of the
eight persons on trial for causing
his false arrest two years ago.
It was on cross examination and
while explaining the incidents which
preceded his being taken into Gus
todv i'm Mrs. Grimes home that he
admitted his amorous shortcomings
"No,' - he said when he was asked
if he had been sitting on a couch
with his arms around Mrs. Grimes
no. he answered again to a
question of whether he followed hel
to piano stool and continued such
advances.
"You scc.' he then explained
"I'm not much of a love-makcr. y
Previously under direct eXamina
tion, jacobson said he noted that
"Mrs. Grimes was acting rather pc
cuHarly that night but | didn t
know why.
jacobson was subjected to {
withcring questioning throughout the
morning session with attorneys at
tacking minor differences betwecl
his testimony at this trial and th'
transcript Of that given to the gran'
jury.
Defense counsel hoped by thi.
procedure to break down the state :
contention that jacobson wa
framcd' by underworld leader
and police Officers who wished t.
silence an anti-vicc campaign whicl
jacobson then headed.
The defense made much of TIN
fact that in the grand jury trans
cript Jacobson claimed to have Sccl
two men cross the hall Just bcfOr
he asscrtedly was knocked uncon
scious, while in his testimony il
Judge Wood 5 court he said he sa,
only Mrs, Grimes.
jacobson held tight to his conten
tion that he was guilty of no moral
violation and that his clothes wcr
| torn off after he was knocked dow
in Mrs. Grimes bedroom.
