|DAWSON'S CHARGE
| CALLED FALSEHO0D
B. E. r. Registration Officer
Caustic in Refuting Attack
on Marchers.

! While administration officials de-
clined to comment yesterday on the
statement by F. Trubee Dawson, Assist
ant Secretary of War, that many mem
bers of the Washington bonus army
had discharge papers turned out by a
"Communist-ow diploma mill. "
George D. Brady of Brooklyn, N. Y,
B. E. F. registration officer, called it
IAN unvarnished falsehood for political
purposes"
Brady, now national enrolment
officer for the Khaki Shirts Of Amer
lea, an offshoot of the bonus expedi-
tionary force, issued formal reply to
the Dawson speech, saying the B. E. F.
command guarded against spurious
credentials by demanding production of
original discharges from the War and
Navy Departments whenever any doubt
existed as to a mans war service.
Asks Dawson for Data.
"It would be interesting to Mr.. Davi-
son and only fair to the bonus army,
his statement said, "if the Assistant
Secretary of War and New York guber-
Material candidate would inquire of his
own department how many certificates
in lieu of discharge were issued by the
adjutant generals office while the bonus
marchers were in Washington, and
make these figures public. They alone
will answer his inferenceS.
Another element in Mr.. DaviSon's
statement that, if true, is true to the
discredit of the department which he
now represents, is that most of the
men in the bonus camps were 35 to 4C
years Of age, and therefore at the time
of the war must have been of draft
age. If they had to fake discharges il
order to join the B. E. F. how did they
escape the draft in 1917-18?
Mr. Dawson speaks of 'polygloi
mob of trampS and hoodlumS' remain
ing here when the troops were used tC
evacuate the remnants Of the B. E. F
Yet police records will show that during
the confusion accompanying the evacu-
alton, when rowing bands of 'tramps
and hoodlums' would certainly have
taken advantage of conditions to steal
raid and loot in all parts of the city
no crimes were committed in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Figures Are COntraSted.
"Less than 1000 veterans remained
for the final curtain Mr.. Dawson
adds. His figures, of course, are al
variance with those given out previously
by President Hoover, Secretary Hurley
Gen. Macarthur and Gen. Hines, just
as they were at variance with eacf
other 1t is a significant answer to Mr.
DaviSon'S mathematical deductions thai
between 1000 and 5000 men driver
from Washington assembled later a
Johnstown. Pa. although several hun.
dreds admittedly went direct to theil
own homes.
"I would suggest that the administra.
tion's alibi brigade get together before
further statements are made public
The way it is the campaign is getting
muddled by contradictory statements, 81
that it almost seems the various speak
ers for the administration are cam
paigningN against it."

Pride Bars Egypt's Athletes
DEMAND FOR NATIVE LEADER CAUSES STRIKE"

|HERE was an unexplained vacancy
in the ranks of the nations CON-
peting in the Olympic games at
L Los Angeles this Summer.
Egypt-the land where sport
began-was missing.
Why?
Not because she lacked talent. Her
latter-day sport revival has produced a
throng of athletes whose proWess IS
well above the average. AS matter OF
fact, Egypt had sent teams TO the
games at Brussels Paris and Amster,
dam, and she had a team developed
for the American contests.
But that team did not compete.
Inquiry at the Egyptian legation as
to the reason for the lack OF repre-
sentatives from the Nile In the world
foremost sport arena, elicits story OF
national pride which led TO Wrtuai
athletic strike"
The Egyptian athletes. 1t is revealed.
would not follow the leader unless tney
could have a native-born leader TO iol-
low. Which seems simple enough but
for the fact that the man originally
appointed to represent Egypt on the
International Olympic Committee the
&C. I. or Is years ago, Is a Greek,
and his appointment is for life. Angelo
C. Bolanachi, an excellent sportsman,
but not of Egyptian parentage, enjoys
his post on the committee and desires
to remain as the representative OF the
Nile country.
Egypt, it seems, appreciates the hne
work Mr.. Bolanachi has done In his
role, but feels strongly the urge to De
represented by one of her own people.
The International Committee cannot
ask Mr.. Bolanachi to step aside from
his life-post, nor does it feel that Egypt
rates a second representative at the
present time.
AT the time of Mr.. Bolanachi's ap-
pointment, Is years ago." says
Andre Cattaui, secretary at the
Egyptian legation, explaining the situa-
ton which threatens TO keep Egypt
out of the next competition as well
as the one just past, modern sports
were not developed to great extent
in Egypt, but in recent years, my
country has experienced a notable sport
revival. King F'uad is a great patron
of sports and under his rule the de-
velopment of twentieth century ath-
letics as we'll as the revival of ancient
games, has been rapid and widespread.
There is not school, high school or
college in Egypt today which is with
out its athletic program, for the girls
as well as for boys. Interscholastic
contests are popular and each year the
national championships are decided be-
tween the schools, colleges and the
individual athletes in foot ball, base
ball, tennis and track and field events.
Handsome trophies are awarded and
everything is done to encourage the
development of a high degree of ath-
letic skill among our young people.
las enthusiasm has increased, the
athletes have become more and more
anxious to be represented interna-

MOLL|SON TO GET
TRADITIONAL ADVICE
Charter of Atlantic Weather
: to Urge Him Not to Go in
Giving Signal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 27.-The man
who advises Capt. ]. A. Mollison when
to take off for England will advise him
at the same time not to take off.
1t will be the same advice he has
given virtually every Atlantic flyer since
Lindbergh. And like those who have
gone before him, the youthful British
bridegroom will Taught at the fears
which prompt the second bit Of advice
and stake his life on the accuracy of
the first bit-the state of the weather
a thousand miles away.
The oracle is DR.. James H. Kimball,
an elderly man with long white hair
who. peers through old-fashioned nose
glasses with oval lenses to chart by
hand the weather conditions over the
Atlantic wastes for which no weather
maps are printed.
All Flyers Consult Him.
Almost every flyer who has planned
a transatlantic hop from this side has
consulted him. Most of them waited
until he said the weather was favorable
before they took off. MolliSon again
postponed his fight today on DR.. Kim
balls advice.
The meteorologist makes it emphatic
TlaL he Is nOC III dIly SeIloC IilC StoA
for these ocean flights. He'll furnish
the pilots with what information he
can, but he'll always urge them not
to go.
He wouldn't make sea flight himself
for any amount of money. In fact, hes
never been up in a plane, although
names like Lindbergh, Byrd, Chamber
lin and Earhart are names OF intimate
friends to him.
Transatlantic flights have not become
an old story with him, DR.. Kimball said
emphatically today.
Pilots Main Factor.
Every flight is different" he said.
s"There are different courses, and dill
ferent weather conditions, and differ
ent motors. and different pilots. And
the pilots are always the most impor-
tant factor"
If a flyer has been consulting DR..
Kimban preparatory to starting sea
trip he won't let the public in on the
information about weather conditions
when they become favorable until he's
told the flyer and found out that he has
decided to take off.
There's all kinds Of pressure brought
to bear on such a flyer to get him to go
ahead and start" he explains. "It
comes from the hackers, and from the
public, and from other sources. I want
to keep off that pressure as much as
possible because the pilot is the man
who has to do the plotting, and he
should decide for himself when to
start"

NEW RECORD SEEN
IN WEST-EAST RACE
Noted Designer-PiIot Expects
10-Hour Time in Cross
Country Race.

BY the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, August 27-Ten
hours across the country, the goal Of
transcontinental speed pilots for more
than four years, probably will be writ
ten into the record books next week,
Jimmie Wedell of New Orleans be-
lieves.
OF the seven planes entered in the
transcontinental speed derby Of the ma
tional air races this year three were
turned out by the slight, blond pilot
designer.
One of them he will fly. Another
will carry Roscoe Turner of Hollywood,
Calf, former transcontinental record
holder. The third will be piloted by
Jimmie Haizlip of st. Louis, flying mate
of James H. Doolittle who streaked
across the Nation in IL hours IS min
utes last year, establishing the present
cross country speed record and placing
first in the derby.
Expects New Record.
Doolittle, thrown out Of the race by
an untimely accident at Wichita, Kans.,
last week, made an average speed to
New York from Los Angeles OF 2l9
miles an hour a year ago. Wedell be-
lieyes some one of the seven pilots en-
tered in the race will crack the record
wide open.
Most of the planes probably will be
able to average around $50 miles an
hour" he said "If the weather is bad
or pilot gets off his course, the time
won't be so good, but If one of us
flies straight enough 10 hours can be
! DONE" The distance Is about 2,465
! miles.
There is much in store for the fu-
| ture Of speed flying, Wedell believes,
and he said he would not be surprised
| to see pilots racing across the Nation
at $50 miles an hour in the next few
years. Motors will have to produce
that extra 100 miles, for plane design
is at pretty fair perfection now" He
confesses, however, that he has in
| mind a new design which he will
build when the races are history.
For most of the pilots it will be
contest of speed for $4,000 in cash
prizes, but there is more to 1t for the
designer.
Two Change Plans.
"Of course, I'm out to place and win
all the money I can, but 1 think more
than that we will open the way tt
faster transportation" Wedell said
That is really what the industry will
get out of it. We find out what these
planes can do under the stiffest con-
ditions and then we know more about
putting the ideas into practical uSt
for the airways plane"
Changes in refueling plans were an.
nounced today by two of the pilots.
Turner abandoned plans to refuel al
Pueblo, Colo, and Peoria, Ill, but viii
stop at Colorado Springs, Colo, anc
Quincy, Ill, regardless Of weather.
Lee Gehlbach, Detroit, said he prob
ably would not attempt nonstop flight
and had laid down gasoline supplies a
Lincoln, Nebr.; Kansas City, Mo, ane
Omaha. Nebr.. and would determine thu
refueling point by weather conditions.

WIN AIR DERBIES AT

Lenox had 1,o41. sSS and would have
taken third place money had he arrived
by pm.
Next in order were J. D. Crane Of
New Haven, Conn, fourth, with 5l5.0
points, and Harold Newman of Moline,
Ill, fifth, with 419.2 points.
Ushering in 10 days of flying sport
and speed the races moved at slow
tempo as two derbies from New York,
one for amateurs and the other for prl-
vate flyers, were delayed en- route be-
cause of weather and the only closed
course race on the program was can
celed.
The foreign pilots, who were unani-
NOUS in declaring they would rather
show what they could do In the air
than attempt to talk American, gave
sample of their tricks, led by the Ger
man, Emil Kreef.
Autogyro VS.. Pusher.
His movements were marked by such
precision and smoothness they failed
to look difficult, and it was not until
the old and the new of aviation-an
autogyro and a reproduction of a 1910
pusher plane-put on a spirited dog
night that the crowd roared its feelings.
The stunting was climaxed by Jack
OMeara, American distance and en-
durance champion, who was towed aloft
in a motorless Sailplane and made his
way to the ground a series OF tight
loops, spins and turns.
Senator Hiram Bingham of Connec-
ticut, as president of the National Aero
nautic Association, and L. w. GreVe,
president of the National Air Races,
formally opened the races before small
crowd that was not swelled until time
for the derby flyers to arrive.
The first mishapS to mar the meet
occurred in a parachute jumping con-
test when two men suffered minor in
1uries. James Hayes of Canton. Ohio,
fractured his instep, and w. c. Hartley,
South Bend, Ind, needed hospital at
tention after hard fall. Shirley Rau-
ner of Cincinnati won the competition
BY landing the shortest distance from
the center of a large white circle on
the field.
The failure of LenoX to finish the
race was a mystery to officials who said
his plane was not checked across the
finish line but that shortly after the
bulk of the contestants landed he ap-
peared at headquarters and received his
credentials for the rest OF the meet
They were unable to locate him later
for an explanation and his shlO was
not among those lined up on the field.

Intense interest was centered on
he possible effect of the suspension
order Of the trading in grain flu
lures. Carey believed there would
De little effect.
Other observers suggested worried
traders might start an avalanche of
selling.
A third school Of thought held
that prices would rise because short
traders, worried over possible closing
of the market, would hurry to with
draw from the market.
Carey emphasized the Importance
Of the Board of Trade in the deli
cate adjustment Of grain prices,
especially important during the COM
ing harvest weeks when huge
masses Of ripe wheat, barley, rye
and oats must be sold.
If the Board of Trade should
close, even temporarily, utter chaos
would result" said Carey. There
would be panic. The closing would
be reflected on every exchange in
the country. The milling industry
would be injured severely"
Cooperative Is Satisfied
The ruling of the futures COM
mission left a loophole which would
enable the Board of Trade to avoid
suspension of futures trading by adj
hitting the farm board subsidiary tc
trading privileges. However, Carey
indicated this course would not even
be considered until every legal re-
course had been exhausted.
The Farmers National viewed the
situation with satisfaction.
IF we were engaged in the grain
business for private gain" said C

tive, the Board of Trade would not
have ruled us out. We welcome
bringing the matter into court ano
arc certain our complaint will be
