through the Tehachapi. Likely

Storm Trapped
He had ridden down a storm
in the lower Rockies over New
Mexico. A little wind wouldn't
daunt either him or his plane.
He reached the pass where
the Sierra Nevadas, marching
the length of California on the
east, meet the Coast Range ira
versing the west.
The wind came Solidly, like
waves of heaving, beating sea.
The plane chopped about.
Suddenly there were clouds;
they sealed tight above him. He
looked at the altimeter and
nosed the plane up, but the wind
bellied: it lifted the left wing.
The ship dropped.
Rain came heavily, an arrow
of lightning shooting through
the storm with ghostly blue ra-
dance. The plane bumped with
shocking force over rolling black
clouds. He tried again to nose
the plane up. Efforts to gain
altitude in. the buffeting seethe
of wind and rain failed again.
Going in circles! With a sick
ening tug at his mind, he told
himself this, and maneuvered
with half-loops and half-rolls to
reverse his direction.
Get out of it! Turn back!
Ride it down."
He switched on his landing
lights. They stabbed family
through a gray, swirling chaos.
Another flare. He saw the
mountains sharp, precipitous,
straight before him; the ship
tossing about, almost out of
control. A nauseating drop
and a black ledge of cliff

was a strange, white, distant
look in her face. She kissed

RICHMOND, Va, May 10.-Holding
that there is a flaw in the title to
the Presidents camp property on the
Rapidan, originally purchased for
President Hoover and later decided.
as a part of the Shenandoah National
Park area, the Eagle Hardwood Lum-
ber Co. has given notice of a claim of
the appraised value of the property
against the Commonwealth.
The land is valued at about $26, 900.
The improvements made by President
Hoover and the historical associations
of the famous fishing camp and Sum-
mer White House have made the
property one OF the most significant
landmarks of the Shenandoah Ma
tional Park property.
When the notice was filed it was
discovered that the abstract Of title
obtained when the property was pur-
chased was, in fact, not an abstract
of the property in question, but,
through error. involved an entirely
different tract a quarter OF a mile
away from the property actually pur-
chased. Thus the actual status Of the
title to the Summer White House
tract is not yet known by park OFF,
cials.

With the exception of a small de.

became deserted shortly after noon
today.

mately 600 veterans who had enrolled
in the Civilian Conservation Corps

what they call an attempt to break
up" the bonus army, asserted that
only about 200 men fell for" the
C. C. c. Officials, however, under the
leadership of Capt. Edward Heren-
deem, United States Army recruiting
officer, announced that 626 men had
enrolled since Saturday, but that

At the same time more than 500 left
Fort Hunt by bus for Union Station,
where they were sent in State groups
to their homes on Government trans
portation.
There remained close to 300 others,
some of whom planned to remain in
Washington, but large number of
whom had no plans whatever. A few
disclaimed any intention Of going
home, joining the c. c. c. or remaining
IN Washington to continue the fight
for cash payment Of the bonus.
Meanwhile, leaders of the bonus
army spent most of the morning in
organizing three committees--one to
carry on lobbying from headquarters
