The tremendous problem of fueling
the air armada required weeks of
planning by Government experts and
officials of The Standard Oil Com
pany of Ohio. Never before had such
job been encountered. Nearly
third of a million gallons of gasoline
must be pumped into the 700 plane
tanks at Dayton within short time
limits, In order that the army maneu-
vers can be carried out to perfection.
Ordinarily fueling plane is a simple
job. The plane takes to an under
ground pump and receives its ration.
But with nearly 700 to be constantly
cared for, the problem is increased
hundred fold Plans finally worked
out by The Standard Oil Company
included the furnishing of SO tank
trucks with special pumping equip
ment.

EDNA FERBER IS
 BITTER TOWARD
 YOUNG AMERICA
Novelist Just Returned From Europe Says the Younger People Here Are "l2 Years Old"

New York, Sept 10.-(UP)- The younger generation in Amer. ica is twelve years old--perman. ently," and it's reaction to the
 serious problems confronting 1t in
 the world to-day is summed up in the phrase, "oh, yeah?", in the
 opinion of Edna Ferber, outstand- ing American novelist and Pulit- ger prize winner.
 Although Miss Ferber, as she says herself, has never been one to carp at the younger generation, she arrived yesterday from Eu- rope on the He De France with some vigorous criticisms of Amer ican youth as contrasted with that of France, England, Germany and Switzerland.
 Ut is terribly vital that nothing matters to the young men and women of to-day but wise crack ing" She said, "the boys and girls going to college have absolutely no serious discussion. The only thing they can talk about is football. |. This is true of no other country in the world.
 Any French boy of IS that you talk to-not a student necessarily, but a garage mechanic or a busi- ness man-can talk about repara- tions or the economic situation in Europe. They are intelligent. They have thought about listened to their elders, discussed 1t. They don't think it's the bunk. They have an opinion one way or the other. They think. They've been taught to think"

Little Child Is
 Only Witness

(Continued from Page D aboard the cruiser.
 The child appeared dazed and excited. She was uncertain whether her father had been thrown overheard or sent away in a boat, as in the case of hei mother.
 Barbara said she and her par ents left here yesterday on a cruise to Oyster Bay, directly across the sound. While they were at anchor she said, two men came aboard and demanded to be taken to Nor walk.
 When Ceilings questioned them, the child related, one drew a re- volver. A struggle followed.
 Barbara was unable to tell when or where the men left the boat.
 The Penguin, brought to Stam- ford Yacht club, was found to bear evidences of a battle. Cushions were strewn about the cockpit and the deck was stained with blood.
 The child was questioned by police but was in such an excited state she was unable to give 8 con- nected story. She was taken to the home of Herbert s. Ceilings, brother of the missing yachtsman, and put to bed with strict orders not to talk.
 Herbert Ceilings and his sister, Miss Helen Ceilings, left for Oyster Bay upon receiving word that Mrs Ceilings was safe there.
 Mrs Ceilings notified relauves she was unharmed.
 Noteman, skipper of the nshing boat which discovered the Penguin. said when he boarded the cruiser he heard a "threshing noise close by the boat as though someone were swimming away rapidly.
 It was dark and he was unable to see anyone from the yacht so he rowed in the direction from which the sound had come with small boat. He was unable to discover the cause of the sound.
 Police said they discovered two diamond rings in the slippers or the child.
 Reports reaching local author ities said Mrs Ceilings had told Nassau county police on Long Island that the two men who board ed the Penguin last midnight claim ed they wished to ferry a wounded man across to the Norwalk hospi- tai.
 She was reported to have said the men forced her husband to leave his anchorage and put her aboard a vacant boat, from which she was rescued early to-day when a fisherman heard her screams.
 Mrs Ceilings also was reported 10 have said the boarders put her husband out in the yachts tender. The skiff of the Penguin was tied to the stern when 1t was found, however.

WORKMAN OPPOSING OPERATION WINS ST ,5OOI
SIX ALLEGED RUM | SMUCCLERS ARE l CAUGHT BY RUSE
Three-Man Crew of Coast Guard Did It - Seize Cruiser and S25,OOO Worth of Liquors

Woods Hole. Mass, Sept 1o.-- (UP)-The three-man crew of the coast guard patrol boat BIO seized the new 60-foot cruiser Dart, six alleged rum smugglers, 500 cases of assorted liquors valued at $25,- 000,- a small power boat and four oyster dories by a clever ruse off Cotuit early to-day.
 Chief Boatswain's Mate Paul Peckham and two fellow guards men were aboard the 910, lying at anchor about a mile off shore, when the power boat, towing the four dories, came alongside.
 The two men aboard the power boat apparently thought the pa- trol boat was the Dart. They dis covered their mistake too late, and were captured.
 Knowing the men must have been awaiting liquor-laden mother craft, Peckham and his men draped the five captured craft around the 910, and awaited developments.
 It was two hours before the Dart approached. the camouflaged coast guard boat. The cruisers crew of four didn't discover there was a government boat in the midst of the others until too late, and the capture was complete.
 The six boats, the contraband cargo, and the six arrested men were brought to base IS here.
 Coast guards said they learned the Dart was out of Beverly. She probably was on her maiden trip, since her paint job was unfin- ished.
 The capture was the second in 36 hours for base IS coast guards, who seized the schooner Nancy of Tiverton, R. l., two men and a $10,OOO cargo late Tuesday.

Heroic Mother
 Challenges Death
(Continued from Page 1.)

"Thank everybody" Mrs Nelson murmured. q can hardly believe everyone would go to so much trouble for me-"
 Nelson, too, had praise for the kindness of those who had collab- orated in bringing the remedy. He said:
 .'If it had not been for Dr Hart man, the air lines, the police, the hospitals, and the United Press, mother surely would have died. I had no money. There was notn- ing I could do." Dr Torpin said the aerial ship ment had certainly averted Mrs Nelson's death for the time being, The shipment, he said, would Ias. about a week. Before the supply is exhausted, he hopes to have more.
 The Buffalo laboratory was the only place in the country where Cortin, made from the adrenal glands of cattle, was available. pr Hartman spent most of yesterday distilling the extract. The 20O centimeters he obtained required glands from 800 cattle. Addison's disease usually proved fatal until the gland extract was evolved as treatment. Like Insu- lin In the treatment of diabetes. use of Cortin cannot be discontin- ued. Patients treated with 1t inn prove only as long as the treatment is maintained.
 Bottles containing the precious extract were handed to a United Press reporter in Buffalo. who placed them on an American Air ways plane at 2 p. rn., EST, time yesterday.
 The Nat plane to which they were transferred started for Chi- cago at 3:4s p. m. and arrived at I7 D. m.
 Addison's disease affects the suprerenal capsules (s!ands be- lieved to furnish an internal SC. cretion which increases blood pres- sure). The progress of the dis. ease is one of gradual weakening and lowering of the blood pressure.

longer for word of their safety to reach civilization.
 That possibility was the thing which kept hope alive to-day that some trace of the flyers might eventually be found.
 Even that slim possibility, how ever, has been abandoned by per- sons who know the northern Pacific around the Aleutian Islands and along the Alaskan coast.
 It was pointed out that weather conditions over the Aleutians were decidedly unfavorable for flying at the time Moyle and Allen were due in that vicinity.
 Rain fell along the Alaskan coast, a stiff northwest wind was blowing and there was a low ceiling"
 One person however, still has confidence in Moyle's ability to make the flight. She is his flancee, Miss Frances Bresson of Riverside, Calif., who arrived here yesterday to meet Moyle if he and Allen had completed their flight.
 "He said he would and I know he will," she said.
 Dutch Harbor, Alaska, Sept. 10. -(UP).-The drone of an airplane motor was reported to have been heard by four passengers on the steamship Archie K. Baldwin yes- terday morning, according to @ wireless message intercepted by the naval radio station here to-day.
 The Baldwin's position was not reported. It was understood to have been proceeding along the Alaska peninsula east of here.
 It was believed that the plane may have been the City of Tacoma II piloted by Don Moyle and Cecil Allen.
 The passengers who heard it's motor, according to the radio re- port, said the droning sound "ap- peared to be from the southwest and to disappear into the north east" The Baldwin reported thick" weather.
 The incident occurred between 9:30 and 10 a. m. yesterday, the message said.
 This indicated if the plane was the Tacoma, the flyers might have been off their course and were for behind schedule. They had planned flying to this vicinity then turning directly eastward to cross the Pacific and had hoped to reach Seattle before noon yesterday.
 If the Baldwin's passengers real ly heard the City of Tacoma IFS motor, the plane apparently was headed in a northeasterly direc- ton, over open water. and was hundreds of miles from its objec- tive, with only few hours of gasoline in its tanks.
