ENDS
PACIFIC HOP

SEATTLE, Wash, May 81
G.N.SD.-Man's ambition to con-
quer the Pacific Ocean in plane
-alone-had been thwarted again
today by disaster.
While attempting to refuel over
Puget Sound, a few miles north Of
the Seattle harbor, Nat c.
Browne, Texas aviator. plunged
with Frank Brooks, parachute
jumper, 1000 feet into the water
when his monoplane cracked up
yesterday afternoon.
: Browne left shoulder was dis
located when he was thrown from
the cockpit as the plane crumpled.
Brooks, who was aiding him in
a refuehng attempt, escaped with
minor gasoline burns.
The crash ends, for the time be-
ing, the impetus for Seattle to
Tokyo nonstop flight. The
$29.950 prize, raised here in 1927,
under t>rlns of the trust fund, is
to be returned to its donors to-
morrow, as determined under the
time limit set five years ago.

Daughters of the War of 1912 for
permission to place a boulder

tablet on the site of the home Of
Francis Scott Key, $500 block Of
M st. N. W., was today denied
by Capt. E. N. Chisolm, jr., assist
ant director of Public Buildings
and Parks.
In rejecting the proposed me.
mortal to Scott Key, author of the
national anthem, Captain Chisoln
explained it is his desire to have
the original home, still standing
on the site, restored to its former
appearance. The support of com.
bined patriotic societies through
out the country is being sought.

a kidnapping for which a third
stood trial and was acquitted
were sentenced today to nfe i'm
prisonment.
Passing sentence on William
Thomas, As, and John Pingera,
38, Judge Philip L. Sullivan said
their crime was "the most vicious
of any criminal act and ordi-
narily ought to demand the
death penalty"
Charged with abducting Mrs.
Georgia Gecht, Thomas and
Pingera entered pleas of guilty
soon after their trial got under
way. Ward Swalwell. their CO.
defendant, a former assistant
States attorney, was found not

Charging Administration spokes-
men were trying to frighten the
country with alarmist propa-

Michigan, today told the Senate
the country was financially sound
and better times we're ahead.
Couzens charged Senator Reed
(R) of Pennsylvania with sell
ing America short" in his speech
in the Senate last night during
which he stressed the dire con-
ditions and said Europe had
started a run on the dollar.
CouZenS said:
II was born a foreigner but
I will never sell my adopted
country short. Some of my
colleagues, however, are willing
to sell America short in order
to put across their program"

BORAH LASHES
SEC, MILLS

Secretary of the Treasury Mills
was bitterly flayed in the Senate
today for advocating the sales
tax as a means of balancing the
budget.
Two veteran Insurgents, Borah,
of Idaho, and Norris of Nebraska,
launched an attack on what they
termed an organized movement to
switch the burden of taxation
from the wealthy to the working
man. Borah said:
I'VE do not need to be sur
prised that Mr.. Mills advocated
the sales tax at the meeting
of the Senate Finance Com
mittee today. 1t is the logical
conclusion of the tax system in
augurated at the close of the
war and prOpOunded by both
Mr.. Andrew w. Mellon and Mr..

LONDON BISHOP
'PESTERED' BY
CLERIC, 50
Mother of Girl, Who Wanted
To Get In Films, Objected to
Picture Minus Shawl

..LONDON, May 81 Q.N.S.).
How an advertising campaign
scheduled for the United
States was responsible for the
Rev. Harold Francis David
sons being photographed with
a partly nude 16-year-old
girl was described today in
consistory court, where the CO.
year-old rector is on trial on
immortality charges.
The mother of the girl, de-
scribed in the proceedings only
as Miss D." was summoned as
defense witness. She said:
my daughter was photo
graphed to advertise her figure
for the films. The picture was
to be sent by air mail to Amer
lea. 1 hoped she would get a
job in the United States"
"a Disgusting Trap"
The Rev. Davidson posed with
the girl, she said, "but learned
later it was disgusting trap"
The girl herself took the stand
and gave an explanation of how
she came to be photographed
with the rector with only shawl
partly draped around her.
It was first suggested, the
mother said, that her daughter
be photographed without even so
much as the shawl. She added:
"But / objected to this"
The Bishop of London was
then called in the Rev. David
sons defense. He testified he
had known the accused rector
for 80 years, declaring the later
often begged money from me-"
"Pestered" The Bishop
The Bishop was questioned con-
corning a letter he wrote in
which he said Davidson had
"pestered" him for 20 years.
The witness said the word was
too strong" adding that he did
not know the letter was going
to be made public. He was
asked concerning Davidson'S
moral reputation. He said:
II have never heard any
thing against him."

was maneuvering as close to the
ship as I thought safe, so Art
French, photographer for Inter
national News Pictures Service,
could get good pictures of the con-
tact between Nat Brownies plane
and the refueling ship, when I
noticed that about 10 feet of the
hose was lying along the tail Of
Brownies ship.
To my horror, I saw the end OF
the hose was caught in the stabil-
izing Strut-exactly the same spot
struck by tree in his takeoff
Sunday morning. Browne ap-
parently tried to dive when the
wings folded back against the
fuselage and the plane started
dropping.
It seemed to disintegrate in the
air, dropping into the water in
small bits. Browne and Frank
Brooks, his helper, jumped out
and we saw their parachutes,
blosSoming like mushrooms, fall
below us.
French was working his camera
like mad. I dropped as quickly
as I dived within 25 feet of the
surface and yelled at Browne, who
was still afloat. He waved his
hand, indicating he was all right.
I continued the circling of the
spot until speedboat came out
and picked up both men.

NEWPORT, R. l., May 81
UN.SO.-The roar of one
Founders and the rattle of ma

residents of Jamestown Island
and the nearby Rhode Island
shores early today as four Coast
guard patrol boats during a
thrilling five-mile chase in lower
Narragansett Bay pursued two
alleged rumrunning speed boats,
capturing one.
The captured craft was the
speed boat Idle Hour. She was
taken when the crew beached
her on Jamestown Island and
fled. The second speed boat, the
Mitzi. got away. On board the
Idle Hour coastguardsmen found
500 sacks of liquor.

The Vanished Check is Cashed.
Sue poured the hot water into
the pitcher. She was afraid that
she would be missed if she didn't
hurry back to the living room.
She opened the door and went in,
followed by Ruth.
Sue had been using some amber
cups and saucers which had been
a wedding gift. The pieces of one
cup lay on the hearth. A shining,
shattered dream. Neither Nancy
nor Arnold Page had noticed
when the cup fell.
The conversation swung away
from the personal. But Nancy's
face was whittier. Her eyes were
darker. The purple circles under
them deepened. 1t was plain that
she was very tired. Something
weary entered her face and wove
itself like a thread through the
tangled music of her voice.
Sue and Ruth understood. They
felt very sorry for her. But there
was little that they could do or
say to tighten the emotional
strain. Nancy didn't seem to want
to 60 home. Neither did Page. 1t
came to Sue, after while, that
each one was trying to outstay
the other. Each hated to be the
one to make the first move.

was for Ruth. She went up
stairs, to the extension in the
guest room, to talk. Someone
came to the back door selling
something. Sue excused herself.
The kitchen was strange and
cold. She hated kitchens during
the hours when no one was in
them. They were cherries then.
