CURTISS REYNOLDS AIRPORT,
Chicago, August ga fiyer who chose
20 peril himself rather than endanger
the lives of massed spectators lent a
touch of breath-taking drama today to
the opening Of the Tenth National All

He was Fritz Loose, Germany's lead
ing stunt pilot. His Junkers plane
stalled. then crashed, after he had
Unanswered it so that imperiled spec
tators and n score of pilots were saved
from possible injury. Loose received
only minor hurts.
To q salvo of cannons, the rise and
fall Of excited cheers, and q sweeping
exhibition Of aerial might, the air spec
tacle swung to its opening, while In .
far corner Of the field lay the wreckage
Of Loose's plane, mute evidence OF quick
thinking, which might have turned ex-
nltation into tragedy.
Motor Of Plane Stopped.
Loose had taken on at the east end
az the field. AS he reached the west
and At 4 low altitude the motor OF his
plane stopped. He faced the prospect OF
crashing into bleachers, striking
suuadron Of civilian planes or smashing
his own ship. He chose the latter and
wheeled in q quick turn, the right wing
of the ship blowing into the ground:
Bruised and fearful, he craWled from
removing it. Race otiicials endeavored
to placate his grief by announcing they
would obtain another plane for him TO
ny during the races.
The first racing event on the pro-
gram over a 30-mile course for planes
with 1000 cubic inch displacement was
won by Jimmy" Haizlip OF st. Louis IN

CITED AS FALLACY.
Writer Says Gerard's List
0mits Men Who Influence
Nations Progress.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

The allegation by former Ambassador
James w. Gerard that 81 men named
by him, chiefly industrial leaders. "rule
the United States" Is grotesque mega
ton of fact. Mr.. Gerard says Of these
men they are too busy to hold political
Office, but they determine who shall
hold such ONCE
This statement is subject to concrete
test. In the National Government, from
President to Congress, including Inn
portant appointive ofices. there are In
all about six hundred ofices. Among
the whole 500 ofice-holders there Il
just one, o Senator, OF whom 1t might
possibly be said that his presence in
ONCE was determined" in part, by a
man on Mr.. Gerards list. The one
man on the list who perhaps exercised
this much power Is chain newspaper
publisher.
OF the "a men listed by Mr.. Gerard,
nomination of Mr.. Hoover In the Re-
publican party. Nevertheless. Mr..
Hoover was nominated and was elected.
In the 1928 election q large majority Of
the men on this list were opposed to
Gov. Smith, yet Gov. Smith got 15,000,-
600 votes. The case Of Gov. Smith Illus
trates vividly the fallacy Of Mr.. Ge-
rard's list. Gov. Smith is not on the
list, yet there are fully 10000
900 voters in America whose attitude in
politics is determined by the ideas Gov.
Smith originates or espouseS, or by his
personality Calvin Coolidge is not on
Mr.. Gerard's list, but Mr.. Coolidge,
whenever he chooses, can influence the
selection of men for public office to q
far greater degree than any Of the men
on Mr.. Gerards list.
Eight Out Of ~.
On Mr.. Gerard's list, q are heads of
corporations or bankers. Among these,
about eight can be recognized as having
had or attempted to have an important
part in the Republican nomination for
President In 1928. OF the eight, six
were theoretically opposed to the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Hoover. One man on the
list, William II. Croker, favored Mr..
Hoover because he is q Californian.
Even Mr.. Mellon, the only man in polit-
ical life who is on Mr.. Gerards list,
was neutral about the nomination of
Mr.. Hoover until there was a clear
demonstration of Pennsylvania public
opinion in MIR. Hoover'S favor.
Another public ONCE that has real
power in ruling the United States" to
adopt Mr.. Gerard's phrase, is justice
Of the Supreme Court. There are nine
Justices. and II any one Is looking for
q superlative that is justified, he may
say that these nine compose perhaps the
most powerful group among the forces
that really determine the destiny Of the
country.
I have had first-hand information of
the circumstances attending the APP
pointment OF eight justices and de-
pendable secondhand information
about the ninth. No one of the men
on Mr.. Gerard's list was consulted
about the appointment Of any justice
now on the Supreme Court No man
on the list knew about the appointment
on the Supreme Court until he saw
1T in the newspapers. The one pos
sible exception to this statement is Mr..
