AIR SKILL SAVES
Z j. s. OFFICIALS
Uninjured as Plane Strikes
Trees After Motor Fails
Near Bowie.

Goodness and skill saved the lives of
two Department of Commerce aero
nautics officials last night when the
sudden failure of the engine of their
plane compelled them to make forced
landing In dark, tree-dotted field be-
tween two and three miles northeast of
Bowie, Md The plane struck trees
while approaching the ground and after
landing but both men escaped without
injury.
The plane was flown by Roy Keely,
supervisor of maintenance Of Depart
ment of Commerce aircraft. who had
as his passenger John Groves, chief of
the airway bulletin section. They werS
returning from Philadelphia in a De-
partment of Commerce cabin mono
plane last night and were within sight
Of the lights of the Department of
Commerce intermediate field at Bowie
when the motor stopped.
Keely was too far from the Bowie
field to make possible landing there.
In the darkness he picked the clearest
visible spot, but while gliding in crashed
through tree tops. He was able to re-
gain control and made good landing
with the already slightly damaged
plane, but crashed into trees during the
landing run. The landing gear was
badly smashed and the wing was in
jured.
The plane was loaded on a truck and
brought to Boiling Field for repairs.
Keely and Groves were back at their
desks in the Department of Commerce
today.

With the financial backing of Bernarr
Macfadden, physical culturist and
publisher, Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glass
ford will open the Capitals first penny
restaurant" about March 4, at 1924
Pennsylvania avenue.
Guy Glassford, his son, will be the
active manager, enabling the former
police chief to devote his entire atten-
tion to establishing Camp America"
in Loudoun County, Va, where he in
tends to rehabilitate unemployed and
transient youth.
Gen. Glassford had planned to open
the "2ennyteria" later this Spring. but
due to Mse1xadden's desire to have the
restaurant in operation when the
inaugural crowds are here, the opening
date was advanced. The philanthropic
publisher already has similar penny
cafeterias operating in New York,
Chicago, Boston, Detroit and Indiana
polls.
Glassfords son was in New York last
week studying the methods OF the
restaurants there and familiarizing
himself with all its details. His father

in New York and Boston and was en-
thusiastic over their success.

LAUDS MRS. NORTON
FOR KEEPING POST
q. S. Trade Board Secretary Com
mends Decision to Remain Chair
man of District Committee.

Fred A. Berlin. secretary Of the Ma
tional Board Of Trade, wrote yesterday
to Representative Mary T. Norton OF
New Jersey congratulating her for her
decision to remain as chairman Of the
House District Committee In the new
Congress.
"Our good citizens Of the District
are not, Of course, well organized and
oftentimes do not know Just what is
best for them" said Mr.. Berlin. "Un-
fortunately, the local civic bodies. for
the mcst part. are dominated by vicious
interests, but, your record in straight
ening out the affairs OF the District Is
quite commendable.
Few members of Congress assume
the extra work entailed on District
Committees full heartedly, and they do
not always see the need Of our metropo-
lis as well as the needs Of their home
districts. You have been broad minded
and have grasped and handled all prob
lens, both here and in your own dis
trict, with cpedit to yourself and to
the great body you represent"

Contribution Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Numbers of Southern Democrats in
Congress are attempting to find out
how the patronage jobs in their States
are going to be passed out.
The South CarolinianS already knew
of a proposal advanced in their State
and Representative Mcmillan said they
thought it ''damnable outrage"
Meanwhile, Arkansas, Al m a.,
Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi
and Tennessee members were studying
the situation.
James A. Farley, chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee and the
next Postmaster General, is handling
patronage for PreSident-elect Roosevelt.
Leaders to Have Stay.
Mcmillan quoted Claud N. Sapp,
South Carolina State chairman, as nav
ing said the State leaders expected to
have a say in appointments usually
reserved for members of Congress.
Mcmillan told also OF reports tnat
appointees in his State would be ex-
pected to make campaign contributions
needed to wipe out the Democrauc oe-
ficit.
II for one, and the rest Of the South
Carolina delegation, certainly will have
nothing to do with appointments under
that sort of regime" Mcmillan said. II
I am to have the responsibility Tor ap-
nointments, expect to have all OF IT,
IF not. then don't want the appoint
ments." .
Representative Driver Of Arkansas
said that before his delegation took
definite stand it must find out what
arrangements have been made"
I'VE are making an investigation TO
see how far the State organization mas
been sounded out and to learn tneir
aspirations in the matter OF patronage,
he said.
Not Advised, He Says.
He added he had mot been ADVISED py

dispensers" of the Arkansas situation

Representative Cox, one Of the lead

Lacks Information.
Representative Wood Of Georgia said:
II have no information from any

which may be permitted to do, acting
in perfect harmony with the Senators
from Georgia and my colleagues In the
House."
Representative Vinson Of Georgia,
chairman of the House Naval Anars
Committee, said:
"The Georgia Senators and Repre-
sentatives will handle the patronage
that is due them, in my opinion"
Representative Tarver, another Geor-
eia Democrat, said he would have no

of the incoming administration.
Representatives Ramspeck and Cas-

YOUNG DEMOCRAT
BLOC IN HOUSE HIT
W estern Representative
elect Asks Harmony in
Forming New House.

The caucus of new Democratic mem
bers Of Congress, called for tomorrow
night, will meet stiff opposition in its
efforts to organize the newly elected
Democrats into a Young Democrats
bloc. it was learned today. Martin F.
Smith. Representative-elect from the
third Washington district, is organizing
the opposition in an effort to obtain
party harmony. Mr.. Smith said he
means in his power to prevent forma-
ton Of the bloc.
Representatives-elec Will Rogers of
Oklahoma and Thomas O'Malley of
Wisconsin have taken the initiative in
calling the caucus. Mr.. Smith said
several men will oppose the bloc.
while regard it as mistake for
q rump caucus to be called at this
time," Mr.. Smith said, II shall attend
and will express my views that this is
no time to divide the Democratic men,
bership into two groups.
1.-THE splitting of our ranks into
separate units would be very unfor-
tunate and disruptive Of party har-
mony. We have been elected to work
together in putting into immediate ef-
4cCt q PAOsA duI Va P2oSACoo4 o11o SoAA-
structive legislation and we should
carry out the mandate Of our constitu-
ents The majority membership of the
House should not be divided into two
separate groups. Instead, We should
form our ranks into one harmonious
body, striving for the one objective OF
enacting without delay legislation to
benefit the country"
Mr. Smith said probably the real rea-
son behind the caucus was the fear on
the part Of the new members. who have
been elected in such overwhelming num-
bers, that they will be given secondary
consideration and all the plums in the
way of committee assignments and the
like will 60 to the old party wheel
horses. He said he personally believed
the elder heads Of the party would be
fair to the younger, but that whether
he was right or not, the thing to strive
for Is harmony at any cost.
