Post and Gatty
 So Unassu1ning
(Continued from Page 1)

 Both were startled and bewil- dered by the mass of questions and requests hurled at them in rapid fire order. But each was willing even eager-to oblige everyone, fill every request possible and answer every question.
 For time it seemed that the 21- year-old Mrs Post also would be crushed by the surging crowd, but she did not seem to object to the showing, either.
 Dozens of photographers and mo- ton picture men had formed a semi circle, and as the bedraggled flyers stepped into it, flashlights
 boomed and a dozen kleig lights
 fared up, adding to the stuffy at mosphere and heat in the enclosure.
 They posed for dozens of pictures. stood calmly as the motion picture
 cameras ground out hundreds of | feet of film and spoke into the mi crophones for several minutes When the heat inside the hangar became so stifling as to be almost | unbearable, the Nassau county and New York reception committees de- cided to move on to New York with the flyers. Immediately, cries of
 protest from newspapermen filled | the air. Since they had not yet been able to get an interview, Post and Gatty were asked if they would care to wait several more minutes, Both consented readily.
 There followed 15 minutes ot | questioning, the flyers meanwhile | autographipg an occasional card or | filling some other request. Photographers still clamored for
 more pictures and the men gra-
 ciously stepped outside the hangar and posed while hundreds of spec
 tators gave them one of the widest
 ovations of the night.
 As they were placed in an open
 car and moved slowly away, they
 waved and shook hands with their
 well-wishers. And the crowd. ap-
 preciative of their unselfishness and good sportsmanship sent them away
 with a great cheer that rang out
 long after their car had vanished | into darkness.

New York, July 2-UP)-Harold Gatty and Wiley Post will have their first chance for a real rest this weekend. They have nothing scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday or Sunday, and officials are hoping to obtain yacht or place in the country where they may have some relaxation during these days.

times they seemed to be walking in their sleep. Questions-because of their deafness-had to be shout ed. But the questions were always willingly answered, not boastfully, but respectfully and modestly.
 The reception committee, after consulting with c. F. Hall, wealthy oil operator, who backed the world girdling tour, had arranged to hurry the men to their hotel and make them retire at once. Yet it was near ly five hours after they swooped down upon Roosevelt field before the tired flyers said goodnight. The time had been consumed in receiv- ing interviewers, submitting to mo- ton picture cameramen, talking somewhat haltingly - for sound movies, and what was very impor- tant to them just then, eating.
 There was one disappointment in an otherwise joyous occasion. While little Mrs Post. beaming through her tears, was the first to greet her distinguished husband at the field throwing her arms around him as his feet struck solid earth once more. Mrs Gatty, delayed in her air journey to New York at Pittsburg. missed the arrival and the early celebration. But the knowledge that they had ended their long tour suocessfully-and in far shorter time than the most expert of avla- tors had predicted-gave her some long, distance comfort.
 Mrs Gatty was to join her hus- band to-day, arriving at 7:4O a. m. from Pittsburg.
 The arrival of the flyers, in every way as spectacular as their flight itself, found 10000 enthusiasts at Roosevelt field to greet them with every noise-making device known to man. Yet, despite the enthusiasm behind the greeting, arrangements for their reception were so well cal elllated that the event lacked many

 The French delegates will point out to Mellon tonight that they be- lieve the American memorandum is mitaken in the suggestion that the German government receive repay ment of the unconditional annuity from the bank for international set dement's. The Young plan forbids governments to receive the pay ments, but permits them to be made to railroads and industries, the French claim.
 The Fench also will inform Mel lon that the cabinet is studying the Hoover note and will sugget that an agreement is possible regarding the period over which Germany must repay the suspended payments, al though there still is wide diverg- ence over the guarantee fund to be deposited by France.
 The French government has de- cided to refuse an invitation of the British to attend a weekend Hoover plan conference in London. Foreign Minister Aristide Briand received Lord Tyrrell, the British ambassador, last night, and he conveyed an invi- tation to the French from Premier J. Ramsay Macdonald and Foreign Minister Arthur Henderson to con- fer with the Italians, German and British in London over the week. end.
 Briand will reply that the nego- tiations in Paris and parliamentary work necessitate his presence in Paris, but will sugget that the others come to Paris if they desire to dis cuss the Hoover plan.
 It was MacDonaId's intention to invite Mellon to Chequers Court. the prime minister's country residence in England. The British would have acted the role of arbitrator, seeking French agreement to the Hoover plan in the presence of the Germans and facilitating any chances made necessary by the French attitude. It was understood Washington was ac- i quainted with the British invitation but did nto suggest it.

 of the unfortunate incidents that have characterized similar recep- tions in the past. The police were well trained; the crowds, though noisy were orderly, and gave vent to their enthusiasm only in frenzied cheering.
 It was also remarked that the two aviators, stiff and sore from their gruelling confinement in the narrow cockpits of the Winnie Mae, were to whatever plans had been arrang- ed by their friends and packers. Willingly they consented to broad cast "a few words Willingly they posed for flashlights and flashlights and more flashlights. Willingly they stood-preferably, because, as Gatty explained, Eve have been sit ting so long"-while newspaper re- porters flung question after ques- tion to- them. And they were all ways affable, always smiling, always cheerful.
 An adoring wife clung close to Posts arm threughou the reception. Never once did her arm stray from him, and seldom did her eyes wan der from his smiling face.
 Mrs Post expressed her own feel ings in one of the briefest but most forceful Speeches" of the evening. How do you feel about your hus- bands flight?" she was asked.
 Wonderful" she said, and for a moment it appeared as though she might break down. "It has been a day of days" Behind the words one could guess at the strain of watching and waiting, through eight days and nights, for word from the men who, in little more than one week, trav- ersed oceans and mountain ranges, forests and seas, to circumnavigate the globe.
 The arrival of the Winnie Mae at Roosevelt field has been described as spectacular. Perhaps that was

New York, July 2-(UP)-Vio- lence amid wild scenes when the crowd hysterically broke through police lines at Roosevelt Field to welcome Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, world flyers, last evening, re- suited in scores of injuries. Edward H. Connerton, vice-presi- dent of Air Service, Inc, was struck on the head by a policeman's night stick. He was taken to Nassau county hospital, with a possible fractured skull.
 John Ferris, newsphotographer, also was beaten badly by the police. The crowd showed him into po- lice inspector who punched him in the face, and policemen beat him | back with clubs.

Citizens are now warned from the
skies of the semi-weekly arrival of air
mail from BuenoS Aires, and post Office
clerks must be on the JOB or incur the
wrath of residents expecting CORE

Pilots of the French Iatecoere lines
planes, carrying mail between Buenos
Aires and Asuncion, have recently
adopted the practice of circling the city
several times to announce their ar
rival to the citizenry.
The strategy involved serves to defeat
the indifference of postal employees. who
previously delayed long In the dtstribu-
ton of mail. The excuse always was
that the plane had been late, and as the
landing field is far from the center Of
town, no one could refute the story.
Now the whole city knows of the
arrival of the planes and those expect
ing mail lose no time in getting to the
post Office to collect.
The airmail from BuenoS Aires
reaches ASuncion in seven hours time.
Two days are required by train and four
by river boat.

The three-fold aim Of the cam

percussions in the relations of the Holy See and the government of Premier Benito Mussolini.
 In repudiating' the Fascist papers charges, the Vatican statement as- serted it was "unthinkable" that leaders of Catholic associations could have made statements injurious to their own interests.
 The Lavoro Fascista had charged that the Catholic lay organization Azione Cattolica, and the Catholic Young Mems association had held secret meetings at which speakers denounced Fascism.
 The charges caused a sensation. Crowds on the streets eagerly pur- chased copies of the edition and dis cussed the situation.
 The Osservatore Romano at the same time published further pur- ported instances of alleged anti Catholic instances involving Fascists throughout the country. Both papers are running columns devoted to at- tempts to show that the Fascists on one hand and the Catholics on the other are prosecuting one another.
 One reason for the discord was the attitude of Pope Plus XI on the Fas- cist program of education prescribed for Italy's youth. The trouble has been developing for some time.
 One instance, though not an object of comment, was Premier Mussolini's recent speech containing what some described as provocative and possi- bly, sighting remarks on the Vati- can and the Pope.
