bad It was cold and we had to put
 The following night was rather on our overcoats. The sea was rough and the plane was being buf- feted by the waves. One Of them dented the left wing and the mau on watch became wet. We were then beginning to feel somewhat uneasy and nobody slept.
 We spent all 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 and hoping to see some ships. On the night of the 24th we began to light rockets, but our signals were sent up to no avail Doubts began assailing up be- cause 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 our 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 Us some, you can see that we are tan ned, but l can assure you that We did not suffer from hunger Fool and the water we got from the ra- diator to make up for our shortage of regular drinking water were sufficient.
 scanned Sea For Craft
 "We spent our time scanning the 1 horizon. There was one moment when We almost despaired of ever being saved. We shall always re- member the night of the 27th, which was terrible. The sea was strongly flashing the left wing and we also saw the right wing being broken up. Further, the rudder was being af- fected by the constant beating Of the waves. The situation was almost desperate. AS the plane was being | tossed about we closed all openings in order to keep the water from flooding us. The plant was a toy of the sea and We feared it might not remain afloat very long. AS our anxiety increased we lighted bengal lights which were put out by the l water.
 On the morning of June oS, the ! sea became calmer, but we did not know where we were, even though we had the sun to guide us. Every ] spot on the sea seemed to us like a boat but nothing came into sight. The day proceeded comparatively we'll. Our spirits were low, but We never gave up hope.
 Saw First Light
 Early on the morning of the 29th Major Gallarza was on watch. Suddenly, with joy in his voice, he shouted that he thought he had seen lights. Then We ao came out and sent up rockets. We spent an hour sending these rockets. About o'clock We thought we heard the noise of engines, but ss it was still dark. we could not see anything. At o'clock we saw smoke and then soon after this enormous ship. the Eagle. You can easily understand how great was our joy.
 Tt took an hour for us to get on board the Eagle, first of all we thanked the commander and then We sent radios to our families. The rest of the story you already know" READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS

IN
FATAL FIRE AT
PICTURE STUDIO

NEW YORK, Dec. 12. W.R-Two
officials of the Pathe Film company
were arrested today on charges
growing out of the fire in the com.
pany's studio here in which 10 per.
sons, including four chorus girls,
perished.
The men who were held after
hours of questioning are John C.
Flynn, vice president, and Henry
Lalley, production manager.
They were released on $15, 900 bail
each, set by Magistrate Jean Norris.
Police said between $4,000 and
100000 feet Of films were stored in
a room at the studio which was not
fireproof. Under the law, not more
than 5000 feet may be kept in such
a room. The disastrous fire did not
start in the film.
Fire officials leaned today to the
belief that the blaze was caused by
large electric lamp coming in con.
tact with drape, rather than by a
glowing piece of carbon from an arc
light as at first believed.
Fire Chief John Kenlon criticized
the delay in turning in an alarm
while studio employees attempted to
battle the flames themselves.

HAITI RAPIDLY
RETURNING TO
NORMAL PEACE
BY SAM LOVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Dec.
IL. WH-Release of four Of the
principal strikers Of the service tech
nique, arrested as agitators when
martial law was declared last week,
and renewed campaigning of presi-
Dental candidates, gave added indi-
cation today that the Island Repub-
lie Of Haiti rapidly was returning to
normal peace conditions.
The population has resumed its
work, urging the lifting Of the mar
tial law which prevents meetings of
the striking students Of Damien Ag-
ricultural college whose demonstra.
tions precipitated the riots last week.
Until the students can meet, they
are unable to vote to end their
strike, leaders explain, although all
are willing to resume their studies.
The hope of the entire population
is for speedy appointment Of com.
mission by President Hoover to visit
/ Haiti in order that all parties may
air their grievances and reach a set
tlement of the internal problems un.
derlying the recent disorders.
Political speculation is active. No
less than eight men are pointed out
as possible successors to President
Louis Brono, who has stated he will
not be candidate for reelection in
April to a third term.

WILSON'S NAME
IS MENTIONED IN
OIL LEASE CASE
Witness Says Wartime
President Held Up All
Reduction Pleas.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. IL. U.H-
The name Of former President
Woodrow Wilson was heard in fed
cral court here today at the session
where the government is seeking to
cancel Kern county naval oil re-
serve leases held by the Pan-Amer-
lean Petroleum company.
The late President gave orders to
John Barton Payne, his secretary of
the interior, to hold in allegiance al
claims by oil companies for reduc-
ton in royalties and applications
for additional acreage in the naval
reserves, according to a deposition
by John w. Staggers, attorney for
the Midway Oil company.
The deposition was read by Nor
man S. Sterry, attorney for the Pan
American company.
Staggers' deposition said that
Wilson notified Payne to hold the
claims in abeyance until he ruled
otherwise. Before the ruling came,
the deposition said, Wilson left the
presidency.
Staggers testimony said the Mid
way company was interested in a
strip lease in Kearn county which
had been obtained as a compromise
for mining claim. The company
secured the land under competitive
bidding in which the royalty was
forced up to 55 per cent by the Pan
American company, then headed by
f. l.. Doheny, Los Angeles mag
nate.
"Cussed" Doheny
The deposition declared Staggers
"cussed Doheny out several times"
telling him that such high bids made
i impossible for him, or anyone else,
TO make profit.
Staggers said he represented a
client and went to see Secretary of
Interior Albert Fall, who came in
with the Warren Harding admins
tration.
According to the deposition, Fall
told Staggers he would not reduce
the royalty Zone cent" nor would
Ire approve the granting of addition
al acreage.
Later the Midway company assign
ed the lease to another party, who
later turned it over to the Pan
American company. The lease is
one of those the government wants
cancelled.
Sterry caused surprise today by
admitting a conspiracy between Fall
and Doheny but eountering with the
statement that the matter had been
adjudicated and that the three leases
in question had nothing to do with
other cases already tried. Sterry
is representing the Richfield Oil
company, which bought the Pan
American from Doheny.

Asserts America
Has Opportunity
To Serve World

RIVERSIDE, Cal, Dec. II. W.D
Never has a nation had such an
opportunity for unselfish service in
the cause of humanity as that which
lies before the people of the United
States, Henry Morgenthau, former
ambassador to Turkey, said in an
address before the delegates to the
fifth annual session of the Institute
of International Relations, in session
here.
"After all these centuries of strug-
gle by the oppressed peoples to free
themselves from autocratic tyrants,
and from long established misgov-
ernment, we are charged with the
duty to demonstrate whether people
can govern themselves" Morgenthau
said.
"We have been selected because
we are the greatest self contained
unit that need not have any ter
ritorial ambitions or religious in
tolerance-the two main sources of
war.
at is a grave responsibility and
we shall not rise to it unless we
courageously and vigorously develop
our moral characters in the same
degree as we have in our material
achievements"

WASHINGTON, Dee. 10. U.H-
The entire membership of the house

will make trip to California dur
ing the present session of congress
in an effort to settle the controver-
sy between the southern and north
ern parts of that state as to the To-
cation of a proposed dirigible land

lieves satisfactory solution of the

sideration of the Pacific dirigible

made after the committee hearing

ALLOW CRUNDY
TO TAKE SEAT
WITHOUT FUSS
Former Lobbyist Chief
Now Member OF Body
He Ridiculed.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 12. U.P)-
Joseph r. Grundy, manufacturer,
legislative agent and Republican
campaign fund promoter, was seated
today as United States senator from
Pennsylvania in the senate in which
he was roundly denounced during
consideration of the tariff bill.
A resolution proposing to declare
that he is not entitled to retain his
seat because of his political activi-
ties, was referred to the senate priv
i,cges and elections committee along
with his certificate of appointment
by Governor John S. Fisher.
The action of the senate seating
Grundy was taken after several
hours of debate in which he and
the Pennsylvania political organiza-
tion with which he is affiliated
were severely criticized. The eli
max of the debate was reached
when Senator Wheeler, Democrat,
Montana, asserted Fishers selection
of Grundy was an insult to the sem
ate, and Senator Norris, Republi-
can, Nebraska, characterized the
appointment as "stench in the
hostrils of the country"
The course see senate took was
acceptable to Grundy and his
friends.
1t was apparent in the debate
that the resolution cannot receive
favorable consideration in the nom-
mittee. Senator Nye made clear he
did not expect the resolution to be
passed and was pressing it only
that he might be able to record his
position.
A motion was adopted without
record vote, referring the Nye reso-
luton, the credentials and all mat
ters relating to the Grundy case, to
the committe with instructions that
it report back to the senate Oh the
right of Grundy to his seat.
No votes were east in the mega.
five and Grundv was given the
oath Immediately after adoption Of
the motion.
