Beverly Hills-Well all I know is
just what read in the papers.
Wasent that terrible out here in
California about the Akron land
ing? They had had all this tough
time crossing the country, storms
and bad weather, then when the
sailors at San Diego tryed to help
the greatest bit of drama that we
have read of in our time.
That bit of the sailor being
drawn up there for over an hour
and a half, now If there is a man
living that has had an hour and a
half of any more suspense than
that, that was actual suspense, he
must have been q cool headed Gus
toner to have thought of tying him.
self on like that. They figured they
would have to go out to sea and
drop him in the ocean. There was
nice little thing to look forward
to.
"We will drop you in the ocean" :"
Being a sailor it would just be his
luck he couldent swim. But that's
what call real drama You know
its hard to tell about those big old
suckers, as to whether they are a
success or not. Course they do go
places. Look at that one that went
around the world. And this one
had come all the way across our
continent without gas, food, water,
hot dogs, or a morning paper.
Course it had been two or three
days doing it, but at that it beats
train. But I will trust all that to
our Army or Navy men to figure
out. They know whether its prac-
tical or not. Remember there is "a
men on that thing. That's a lot of
men to carry across the continent
in one load.
tell you any experiment that is
being made in the air is not a waste
of time or money. Our defense, of
fense, and all have got to come
from the air. So these big dach-
unds are going to fin6 some place
in our National defense. You know
that's terrible job being in charge
of that floating bladder. This guy
Rosendahl has done a fine job Of
it. Course when you want to land
you can't always find two hundred
sailors in all parts of the country.
Some parts of the country you have
to fly around for several hours be-
fore you can see two hundred sail
ors. Lots of people living in this
country for all their lives never saw
two hundred sailors. I don't much
care to cruise the air If its going
to take two hundred men to pull
me down.
In an aeroplane it don't take any,
body to pull you down. In fact most
of the time you wish you had two
hundred men to hold you up. I
have seen times in a plane when I
have wished there had been men
underneath with a net.
Doug Fairbanks got back a
couple of weeks ago from the Figi
Islands, or some outlandish place
that he had been. He took pictures
of it. He said that down there you
could live on 80 cents a week. That
is about ten cents more than here
or what some have to live in here.
However you keep reading about
things getting better, but most of
the articles are written by folks
that are doing well themselves.
With the elections coming on you
are going to be fed up with a lot of
hooey about a lot of things. Nat
urally the Republicans are going to
put their best "Side" forward. They
are just trying now to figure out
which side is their best.
Roosevelt is preyy well sweeping
the country for the Democrats but
perhaps wont have enough to nom
mate on the first ballot. Smith
combined with a few of the ma
tive sons would be able to block
him. Then it would be just a wild
guess as to who would be nominat-
ed. Mr.. Hoover just goes on want
ing to stay in there. I had kept
thinking that he would finally give
up and say, "Well boys here she is.
Take it whoever wants it. I have
had enough"
But once a man is President he Is
just as hard to pry out Of there as
a Senator, or a town Constable, or
any political office. He has done
some pretty courageous things late
ly in a political way. If he will get
up and cuss the Senate and Con-
gress out a couple of more times,
he is liable to wake up a hero for
never was "Cussing. Congress" as
popular as 1t is now. And the ras-
Gals I guess are not to blame for
it either. OF course they, are not
doing the best they can, but they
are doing the best they know how.
Conventions will be on us now.
They are like the locusts. They
come every few years. Will meet
you all there, at one or the other
of em. It will be good conventions
this year for both sides will be in
