WILLIAM S. BROCK,
ATLANTICAWAT0R,
lSDEAD OF CANCER
Filler For More Than 20 Years,
He Made Successful Flight
Over Ocean

Chicago. Nov. 14.-(P-Billy Brock,
pioneer pilot, air mail flier and con-
queror of the Atlantic, is dead.
The man who survived the dan
gers Of pre-war aviation, taught
American soldiers to fly during the
World war, piloted air mail planes,
and then capped his career with a
flight over the Atlantic, died Sunday
night of cancer.
william S. Brock, as he was chris
tened, but known as Billy Brock in
aviation circles, was born SO years
ago at Gladstone, O. AS a youth
the exploits Of Lincoln Beachey, Arch
Hoxsey and other early American
filters led him into aviation. At l6
he was pilot. ..--a-..
His 20 years of flying SPAWNED the
days when a London-to-Paris flight
was set down as a record to the pres
ent era of around-the- world flights.
In 1927 Brock and Edward F.,
Schlee tried to break the existing
record for flight around the globe
flying first from Harbor Grace, Mild,
to Croydon Field, England. They flew
their plane, the Pride of Detroit, on to
Japan. But adverse weather condi-
tions delayed them for days and
finally the plan to span the Pacific
was abandoned.
In recent years Brock had been
the private pilot of wealthy Chi
cagoan. Four months ago he en-
tered Chicago hospital in his fight
against cancer.
He leaves his widow, Dolly; q
daughter, June, II, and son by a
former marriage.

ties.

of the interior, who estimated the
dead at $500, traversed much of the
0-mile-wide path of the hurricane
during the night with military au-
thorities.
His train carried $50 sacks of rice,
5000 pounds of lard and 10000 sacks
Of beans and other rations for tenn
porary relief of the thousands of
homeless in Camaguey province.
Camaguey city, where more than
1000 injured refugees are concen-
trated, mostly from Santa Cruz, Mon
day effected repairs on the aqueduct,
assuring water supply. The military
authorities ruled the city. and vac
cination to avert epidemics was COM
pulsory.
It was learned Monday Mrs. w. S.
Rogers of Gloria, Camaguey, the
principal American colony in the
province, was killed and her hus-
band and sister seriously injured.
Her home in the United States was
not known.
At Garden City the homes of sew
eral Americans were destroyed, but
there were no casualties.

Ambassador Lindsay's note said In
part:
1.-THE hopes which were early raised
by the presidents initiative (mora-

men throughout the world are con-
vinced that if the depression Is to be
overcome, further remedial measures
