radio station today awaited word
of the expected takeoff of Don
Moyle and Cecil Allen, rescued

may hop off today from Navarin
Island, off the Siberian coast, on
the 600-mile flight to Nome, the
first leg Of their planned two-hop
return to Seattle.
The Naval radio here was at
tempting to communicate with
Siberian stations or Russian ships
in the Bering Sea in an effort to
ascertain the fliers' definite plans.
Moyle and Allen had expected to
start their return flight yeSter-
day, according to messages picked

GLORIA SILENT
ON MARRIAGE

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal, Sept.
10 GN.SO.-Gloria Swanson to-
day politely declined to either
Substantiate or deny a report,
published in Paris, that she
entered fourth marriage with
Michael Farmer, wealthy young
IriShman.
From the quiet seclusion Of her
fashionable mansion the screen
star emerged for a few moments
to comment on the report in
this manner:
"Why dignity the report with
any sort of an official state
ment? If / were married
secretly, / would ~be expected
to keep it secret. So why ask
me to tell?"
Disclaiming all knowledge of
the rumored marriage, Irving
Wakoff, the actress manager,
pointed out it would be unlikely
that Miss Swanson should be
married before November, when
her interlocutory divorce decree
becomes final. She was granted
the decree last fall from the
Marquis James Henri de Ia
FalaiS de la ,Coudray.

Grace Lewis Writes
Book to Explain
"Mr. Sinclair"
By MARGARET LANE

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 G.N.SJ.
Women are often laughed at for
their love of the last word. One
of them has chosen a new and
deadly way of saying it.
Mrs. Grace Hegger Lewis, ex-
wife of Sinclair Lewis, one Of
Americas most famous novelists,
yesterday published a novel which
is admittedly based on the details
of their own marriage and di-
vorce.
Fine, Active Woman
Mrs. Lewis, as saw her, is
an attractive, active woman with
bright blue eyes and an assured
manner. She discussed her novel
with me in her luxurious suite
high among the pinnacleS Of New
York. She was swathed in a
pink and blue satin negligee, had
carmined toe nails, and her long
hair tumbling down her back.
She has produced this book two
years after her divorce. It is the
sort Of book that few wives would
have the courage to write about
either themselves or their hus-
bandS-especially their husbands.
Question Of Taste
Yet she does not even know
whether Mr.. Lewis has read this
intimate book about himself, or
whether he is angry. She said:
II have not heard that he

Prospects that at last effective
steps are to be taken to control
the world drug evil at its source
were seen here today in the

Of Nations fifth commission in

the way for a conference to limit
