| R1SON, Ark, June GA band of be-
tween i've and seven heavily armed
men who Sheriff Roy Morrison said he
believed were fleeing Kansas convicts
were thwarted in an attempt to loot this
town today after the early morning kid
naping of the night watchman.

after the alarm was given that Deputy
Sheriff w. A. Fore, night watchman,
| and j. r. Perkins and Sam Rodgers, COL
ored, had been kidnapped by three armed
men from in front of Harry Thomas
sons merchandising store about l am.
Thomasson, wakened by Perkins and
Rodgers, who had come to deliver a
load Of hay from Stuttgart, witnessed
the kidnapping of the men when he got
up to meet Perkins, and heard them
tell Fore they would return to "loot five
or six safes" Their car bore an Okla
homa license.
Armed Guard Assembled.
Thomasson Immediately notified Sher-
III Morrison, who ordered the towns
lights turned on and assembled a citl-
zens' patrol.
EOEe, FeIkluS ana the cOlOreQ man
were released on the Rison-Pine Bluff
Highway about two hours later when
the gang, travelling in two automobiles,
spotted q carload of officers from Pine
Bluff. The Pine Bluff officers picked
up Fore and his companions and gave
chase, but we're outdistanced.
Fore said the three men who took
him and the two others captive drove
them to a wooded spot about miles
from Rison, where they met another
car, In which three or four men armed
with sawed-on shotguns sat. Leaving
the captive trio under the guard of one
man, the five or six other members of
the gang piled into two automobiles and
headed back to Rison. In about half
hour or more, Fore said, they returned,
their looting plans evidently thwarted
by the presence of the armed guard.
Apologize to Waterman.
Fore and his companions were ordered
into one Of the cars, which contained.
Fore said, collection of safe-cracking
tools Both cars then headed toward
Pine Bluff As the cars reached a point
about 5 miles south of that city they
passed the automobile In which Pine
Bluff officers were responding to an
alarm sent out by Sheriff Morrison that
the gang was headed north toward
Pine Bluff
The gang stopped for a moment and
released Fore and his companions, with
an apology for having taken Fore so far
from his post.

REPAIRS DELAY TAKE-OFF.
More Than 8 Hours Required for Serv.
icing Plane in Moscow.

MOSCOW, June R.-James Mat
tern hoped of from here at TIA am.
(5:14 pm. Monday, Eastern standard
time) on the fourth leg of his attempt
to hang up new world-circling speed
record.
The American aviator slept only
hours after his arrival yesterday after
noon from OSLO Norway, but was forced
to remain here 9 hours and II minutes
because Of delays in serHcing his plane.
Despite the delay occasioned by the
necessity OF repairing two tears appar-
emily resulting from ice that formed
during the transatlantic leg, Mattern
was hours Is minutes up on the rec
ord established in 1881 by two other in
trepid Americans, Wiley Post and
Harold Gatty.
Upon his arrival from Oslo, Norway,
yesterday, he was told by Soviet OIL
cials that over the shorter route he
had planned to follow to Alaska via
Yakutsk he would encounter unfav-
orable conditions, so he decided on the
regular air route to Omsk, 1,450 miles
east of Moscow.
II fooled them, didn't II" Mattern
commented when told Of the anxiety

on his transatlantic hop.
He disclosed an ingenious arrange
ment for catching cat maps while in the
air
II fixed rubber bands to the stick
from the compass rack, allowing sufi-
cient margin to provide for slight
drift to the right" he explained.
Then I crossed my legs and with
my right foot put slight pressure on
the left rudder, which equalized the
drift and kept the plane on an even
course.
That's how I got my cat maps"
The Texas flyer. describing his battle
with the storms in flying across the
Atlantic, said he had been forced to
break his only two vacuum bottles shortly
after the outset because he discovered
they were magnetized.
That prevented him from having his
sip of tea, which with fruit comprised
his only rations during the flight to
Norway.
Friends here contributed other vacuum
jugs which permitted him to start of
from Moscow with hot tea.
Just before his departure, he was
given a message from fellow townsmen
in San Angelo. Tex, reading:
