Still gripped by horror, eye
witnesses to the holocaust today

inside the flaming building.
Heroes in their own right
through valiant, volunteer rescue
work, they told of aged men and
women who faced death without
fear-with a prayer on their lips
and their last gesture the sign OF
the cross.
Hopelessly trapped, these aged
people knelt silently in prayer, re-

Fearless, Says ReScuer
One of the first men to dash in

B. Michaels, a nearby resident.
Reused by shreiking fire sirens,
Michaels raced from his home and
made his way into the inferno.
He said:
There was no panic. I car

them was dead when 1 got him
outside. Lord, they were fear
less. I saw many on their
knees, their lips moving silently
In prayer.

ITALIAN PLANE
RACERS READY

LONDON, July 25.-Italy has
announced that part of her
Schneider Trophy team will ar:
rive at Calshot August IL, 1t
was learned here. This con-
tingent will consist Of two Off
GERS and ten men with three
training seaplanes.
The remainder Of the team,
including IL officers and 40 men,

hoped their new racing machines
will be ready for practice soon
afterward.
Pontoons for the conveyance Of
the high-speed seaplanes from
the base to the starting point
of the race will be shipped here
from italy by sea. In the last
race the Italians did not use
pontoons, but this additional
equipment will be almost indis-
penSable this year because of the
greater distance between the Cal
shot base and the starting point.

EXPECTS.
To HOP MONDAY

NEW YORK, July Is (U.S0.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's plane
is now equipped and prepared
for his flight to Japan and it is
probable he and Mrs. Lindbergh
will take off from here Monday,
weather permitting.
The plane has been equipped
with pontoons, each designed to
carry $50 gallons Of gasoline.
It was pointed out that when
Colonel Lindbergh flew to Paris
in 1927 his route was mostly over
water and yet he used a land
plane. On this flight his route
will be largely over land and he
is using a plane that can land
only on water.
It has been revealed that q
test has been made with the
radio apparatus and that Colonel
Lindbergh has been in communi-
cation with the Pan-American
Airways station at San Juan,
Porto Rico. The apparatus can
send a distance of 1000 miles.
In addition, Colonel Lindbergh
is carrying a portable set. He
also will take along a collapsible
rubber boat.
