him, deciding he would await day
light to resume his flight.
AT a. m, today, he arose. 1t
was raining and he went to sleep
again, waking at 5. Weather reports
still were unfavorable, but Post de-
termined to go.
TWO pounds of tomatoes, five Or
anges, sandwiches, peppermint
drops and water were put aboard
his plane. AT $50 he was ready.
So impatient was Post to get star
ted that he would not eat at the
airport restaurant, saying he would
eat while flying. Despite bad wea-
ther reports from the area ahead,
he was cheerful at the prospect OF
being under way again.
Post had made two records-the
first nonstop flight from New York
to Berlin, and the best time for
the distance. James Mattern and
Bennett Griffin flew the distance
in 81 hours, Al minutes with halt
in Newfoundland.
He landed at Templehoff air
drome, Berlin, at 6;56 a. m. EDIT
yesterday, 25 hours and As minutes
out of New York, after fast
flight in which he was sighted over
Newfoundland and Ireland.
He carried with him a batch of
pictures of the landing of the Ital-
ian sea fleet at Cartwright, Labra-
dor, and Shediac, N B., on its way
to Chicago, for delivery to a Ber-
lin newspaper.

Many Present At
Aquatic Wedding

Amid the pleasant surroundings
of Kenyon's Desert Plunge and in
the presence of a large gathering
of friends and well-wishers, Clar-
enc Collins and William SidWell
were married at 2:30 o'clock yester'
day afternoon by the Rev Monroe
Lowe of Seeley.
The unique feature of this we'd
ding lay in the fact that bride,
groom and attendants were all at
tired in bathing costume. The at
tendantS were Mrs. Joseph j. Por-
tbs, matron of honor, Miss Beatrice
Marshall, bridesmaid, Darlene Pear
son, flower girl, and Gene Garvin,
Fing-bearer. Robert Sheffield at
tended the groom as best man.
After a dinner dance at the Cali
fornia hotel last night the newly
weds left on a trip to Los Angeles
where they intend to remain until
the end of the week. At that time
they will return and take up their
home in Ell Centro.
The bride is a radio entertainer
and the groom a life-guard at the
Desert Plunge.

lieve today they were close on the
trail of the abductorS of August
Luer. 77-year-old retired financier
who was freed early yesterday one
mile west of CollinSville.
Sheriff Peter Fitzgerald, who with
department OF justice agents as
sumed charge OF the investigation,

a garage in the rear OF a home
which fitted Luer's own description
of the kiGnaperS' lair where lie was
held captive five days. The place
was a mile and a half from where
the aged banker was released.
II don't think it was a kidnapping
ring that had Mr.. Luer,' Sheriff
Fitzgerald said. My opinion is
that it was some Collinsville
'punks' and We have a good start
in our investigation. We intend TO
our search in and
around CollinSyille."
CONTRADICTORY reports WSIt SuSu-
lated as TO whether a ransom was
paid for Luer's release. Members
of the family, including the sons,
Herman, Walter and Cart, denied
any ransom was paid.
Other reports persisted that sl0,-
900 was given 10 the abductorS sew
eral hours before Lder was liber-
ated. Sheriff Fitzgerald would not
confirm the ransom rumors put
said he understood" payment was
made. Notes from the kidnapers,
prior to the bankers release, were
reported to lave made demands
ranging from $4,000 to 100000.
The aged man was resting today
at the home of his son, Herman,
in North Alton. The family physi-

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The stock
market opened irregularly higher
today, with trading continuing dull
The opening appeared to confirm
Wall Street reports that there was
firm undertone to the market.
But the lack of trading brought
about an undressing market.
There was little market attention
to the easier tone in the dollar, the
increased price in gold set by the
government which dropped the dol
lars value of 63.46 cents. Cotton
was only slightly higher at the
opening
In the first dealings today on the
stock market most losses were held
to fractions, while some gains ex-
tended to a point.
The brightest note in the open
ing trade was block of 1000 shares
Of Socony Vacuum at 1234, up 3
The company yesterday increased
its dividend from 10 to 25 cents a
share. Other oils were irregular at
opening quotations.
U. S. Steel gained Il to u and
American Telephone added . of a
point at 1122. American Can,
however, dropped a point to 88.
Motors shares were easier, with
ChrySler showing Is decline to 30
and General Motors a decline TO
81. Farm equipment shares were
fractionally higher.
Metal shares were irregular, with
U. S. Smelling off l point to SO and
American Smelling up Is to Asa
Anaconda gained fractionally, while
some of the gold mining issues held
steady around yesterdays close.

CHICAGO. Nov. 3.-Grains moved

Wheat futures climbed s to IL
cents, corn was up Is TO * cent and
oats were i to : cent higher.
. Brokers felt a further advance

The trade can not ignore the
steady advance in gold and foreign

sibilities of federal distribution of
food for relief purposes
While wheat has followed def
