Special Dispatch to The Star.
ACCOTINK, Va, August 14-Blood-
hounds from the Lorton Reformatory
were called out yesterday to aid State
and county police in a search for a
colored man who early yesterday morn
ing held up George Dunn of Accotink
and later assaulted his companion,
Mrs. Hazel Maddox. of near Alexandria.
According to an Investigation by
Sergt E j. McDermott of the State
police, Dunn and his companion were
returning from a dance at the Mount
Vernon Dance Hall and were on their
way to Alexandria on the River road.
When about a mile south OF Belle
Haven Dunn slowed down to park, he
said, the colored man jumped on
Dunn's ribs, he compelled him to
drive back about two miles and drive
the car into the woods for three
quarters of mile.
Woman Reports Assault
At this place Dunn is alleged to
have abandoned the car and his COM
panion and made his way to the road
and then, to Accotink. Mrs. Maddox,
lelU dlOl6 Will llic Ndo lOboSN
and criminally assaulted she told police,
but succeeded in escaping from her
assailant and walked to the main road,
where a passing car drove her to police
headquarters in Alexandria.
Sergt McDermott expressed the be-
lief the Woman's aSsailant is local
man and that in all probability he is
the same one who July % held up a
Marine sergeant from Quantico. whose
description of his aSSailant comedies
with that given by Dunn and Mrs.
Maddox of the man who attacked them.
Suspect Arrested and Released.
Lewis Finks of Fairfax County police
reported the finding of a powder puff,
later identified by Mrs Maddox as be-
longing to her. about half mile from
the place in the woods at which the
car was parked. This led the police
to believe that the assailant either
dragged or carried his victim that dis
tance.
An arrest was made yesterday in
connection with the case. but the sus-
pect did not answer the description
given by Dunn and Mrs. Maddox, and
the man was released
The bloodhoundS were taken to the
scene of the attack at about 3 o'clock
yesterday morning. but after an all
night search we're still unable to pick
up the trail of the colored man. They
were to be taken back today, however.

At 81 BELOW ZERO
Army Tests Five Miles Above
City Give Flyers Taste Of
Bitter Weather.

A temperature Of 81 degrees below
zero Fahrenheit was experienced by
Capt. Albert w. Stevens, noted Army
photographer. and First Lieut.. Charles
D. McAllister, his pilot, during the
course Of an experimental high altitude
Photographic flight from Boiling Field,
D. c., to New York City on Sunday. This
extremely low temperature was reached
at an altitude of 26, 800 feet, the maxi
mum height at which they operated,
and where they remained for nearly
four hours.
At an altitude Of $4,000 feet, the
temperature was reported as 81 degrees
below zero. In all his experience Capt.
Stevens, who had come here to take
photographs of the Inauguration, had
never before encountered such cold.
During the greater part Of their
flight of hours and 80 minutes, the
Army airmen lowered slightly west Of
Staten Island. A 120-mile- Ian hour
gale from the north at high altitude
kept their Fairchild cabin Photographic
plane practically stationary, although
its air speed was supposed to be 100
miles per hour. At times the plane
was actually being forced backwards.
Because they were operating from a
closed cabin it was necessary to keep
open a window through which to pro-
ject the camera for oblique shots. One
camera was frozen solid during the
operations and several of Capt Stevens
fingers were nipped by the bitter cold.
The atmosphere was remarkably
clear From their position over Staten
Island they could view the Hudson as
far as West Point. as well as the snow
capped Catskill Mountains beyond: the
whole length of Long Island Sound.

NAVY bROADCASTS
TO FACE SWANSON
New Secretary Alone Has
Power to Return Bands
to Radio.

One Of the first radio problems for
the new administration to- tackle is
whether the Navy and Marine Bands
should be permitted to 60 on the air.
Prohibited under an order issued by
Secretary Charles Francis Adams Z few
days before he relinquished his post at
the helm Of the Navy, the bands now
are of the air. Many protests, it is
understood, already have been lodged,
and the question will be brought to the
attention Of the new Secretary Of the
Navy, former Senator Claude A. Swan
son of Virginia. He alone has the
power to relax the radio restriction.
Unions Protested.
Banning Of the service broadcasts,
which have been on the air virtually
since the beginning Of chain broadcast
ing. was prompted largely by the pro-
tests of union musicians. The claim
was made that the use Of the service
bands over the networks tended to az
gravate unemployment among musicians
and was an improper use Of Govern
ment personnel.

concerts, which were broadcast for .ap-
proximately IA hours each week, have

ing the executive council Of the
