FLYER AND TWO EXPLORERS
MAROONED ON ALASKAN PEAK

AirWays from their subsidiary,
Alaskan Always, at Fairbanks, said
Pilot Jerry Jones who located the
men on crevasse- -pitted Muldrow
glacier yesterday was making re-
turn flight to Mount Mckinley
He carried a new axle for the
plane of Pilot E. E. Robbins who
damaged his ship in landing on the
rough ice field after finding
Nicholas Spadeyecckia and Percy
T. Olton, jr., two of three survivors
of a scientific party of five
Jones, flying a e-passenger
plane, reported it probably would
be inadvisable for him to land his
heavy craft on the soft, shifting
surface of the glacier.
He planned to drop the axle and
supplies by parachute. II was eX-
pected Robbins would be able to
repair his light plane and take off
with at least one of the two men,
making two trips if necessary.
If this plan failed, Jones said he
would drop instructions to the trio
advising them to start overland
for the nearest rangers emergency
station where mountain guides
await them. Jones said he would
fly overhead as the men struggled
slowly across the broken ice to
guide their way.
The rescue OF the Two scientists
today rounded itself into an epic
of northland flying. The party,
headed by Allen Carpe, set out late
in April intent upon studying phe-
nomena of the cosmic ray from the
isolated mountain height.
Carpe and a companion, Theo-
dore koven, perished when they
toppled into ice crevasses. After
this disaster, Spadevecckia set out
to bring aid to E. P. Beckwith,
member of the party who was i'll.
Before he could reach an outpost
over the difficult terrain, Beck
with was rescued by members Of
a second expedition. Olton, how
! ever, remained in the precipitous
country to direct attempts to re-
cover the bodies of KoVen and
| Carpe.
Alaskan Always ordered three
airplanes to take up relief efforts.
In addition a party Of veteran
mountain guides set out. Olton
succeeded in locating Spadevecckia,
and Robbins located the pair but
in landing broke the axle of his
! plane.
Oblivious of the dense fogs,
bowling mountain winds and i'm
possible landing conditions, Jones
! found his fellow aviator, landed
beside the camp of the two
scientists.

LONG RECORD

Troubles never come singly, or

"a, believe as he passes the days
at the Imperial county Jail, await
ing what fate will bring next.
There is only one consolation, if
consolation it is, for Summar. tt
is not his first time in Jail, as a
record received from the state de-
partment of identification at Sac
ramento shows. This record lists
Is separate items against the
prisoner.
At present he is held here on a
charge of passing a bad check for
SIS. When arraigned before Judge
w. H. Lorenz at CaleXico his bond
was set at S2500. Summar was ar
rested by Ernest Clay and Don
Campbell, deputy sheriffs. at an Ell
Centro hotel where he was staying
with his wife.
1t was not long after his arrest,
and the sending Of his fingerprints
to Sacramento, that things began
to happen. First a wire was re-
ceived from Fort Worth, Tex, ask
ing that he be held for Texas au-
thorities on a grand jury indict-
ment charging swindling. EXtradi-
ton proceedings are under way.
Next came a wire from Los An
geles, asking that Summar be held
for San Quentin prison authorities
as a parole violator. He served a
term at the state prison for grand
theft
The record also showed that it
was not long ago Summar paid a
$50 fine levied by Judge l. Mayfield

RELATIVES NAMES COMING OFF
FROM CONGRESSMEN'S PAYROLL

lments, yet a number of congress
men were disclosed to be carrying
two others of their family on the
pay rolls as their clerks. InSpec-
ton of the rolls even fails to dis
close the full extent of the family
payroll racket because of the many
! 'in-laws" whose disSimilar names
do not reveal them.
The April payrolls shows a heavy
shrinkage in the number of con-
gressmen who placed relatives on
their clerk hire rolls. The Kansas
delegation, for instance, shows only
Representative Sparks (Rep) with

also has been employed. Yet Rep

has no relatives showing now, for

June. however, Representative
Morehead was employing an M.

name being Minnie. She has been
dropped since then.
The list of congressman whose
employee relatives bear the family
name still totals about 100, despite
the reductions that have taken
place recently. A large number OF
"in-laws" can be detected only
through personal inquiry and pri-
yate information
The house payroll was officially
made public by unanimous adoption
of a resolution by Chairman War
rem of the accounts committee. He
sought this action when a fellow
congressman, Representative Mitch
ell. attempted to see the house rec
ords and was refused permission
by the clerk of the house, who said
it would be "unethical' to show
them.
Inspection of the original records
also disclosed that when the lists
were published in the past, after
they had been obsolete for six
months, the names of congressman
had been carefully deleted from the
list of employees so that it was
impossible except by individual in
quiry to ascertain by whom clerks
were employed.

Earhart Putnam today became the
first of her sex to make a SEQ
flight of the Atlantic when she
put her red monoplane down in a
pasture near Londonderry, Ireland,
after an adventurous flight from
Harbor Grace, N. F.
BY telephone from Londonderry,
city on the northern tip of Ire
land and about so miles in from
the coast line, she said:
IT had to land in pasture out
side of Londonderry. I am not
hurt and I think the plane is all
right"
The Standard quoted Mrs. Put
nam as saying she would ask her
husband, George Palmer Putnam in
New York what to do next.
Il think I may come to Lon
don" she said, but I have only
my flying suit with me and not
much money"
1t was understood here that she
would proceed to London tonight.
She revealed the hazards of the
long transatlantic venture which
she had come through, five yeal1
to the day after Col Charles A.
Lindbergh completed his successful
flight 10 Paris.
For about 10 hours she flew with
the exhaust manifold of her en-
gine burned out, she said. Added
to her dangers were rain and lit
tie fog.
AS the red monoplane roared
out of the storm over Ireland. she
noticed that her gasoline guage
was broken, probably having been
| shattered by the storm through
which I had flown. There was be-
ginning to be a gasoline leakage
and I decided to land she said.
The first thought Mrs. Putnam
had after landing was for her
| friends at home who might have
concern as to her safety. She mo-
tored here and went directly to the
post office to send messages that
she had landed safely.
After that she motored back to
-
land 10 inspect her plane, in order
the better to decide whether to con-
tinue her flight to Paris or Rome
"Of course, I am very, very happy
10 have completed the flight this
far" Mrs. Putnam said, but nat
urally I am sorry I did not reach
Paris"
The landing at Culmore was about
3:45 p. m. local time.
Il was not much worried at any
time" Mrs. Putnam said because
felt quite sure that despite botf
the engine and weather difficultie!
I would be able TO land safely
Some indication of what tn
weather difficulties were may b.
realized when pilots refused at TIN
