Understand Why Army
Objected.

Edward Vernon c'Eddie'O Ricken-
backer who told the Senate commit
tee yesterday what he thought of
"traitorous" airnail advisers, came
back from London when the war
broke out and couldn't understand
why the Army turned down his idea
Of a flying squadron of auto racers"
He had known what auto racers
could do since one day years before
when he peeped through a knothole
in a board fence behind his fathers
home. in Columbus. Ohio, and saw his
first auto race in the Columbus Driv-
ing Park.
He had deserted his first occupa-
tion-cutting tombStones-to handle
the wheels of racing cars, which
brought him his first victory and rec
ord in Omaha, Nebr., in 1914, fol-
lowed by a series of victories at Chi
cago, Sioux City, indianapolis and
Providence. R. I. He had become one
Of Americas best known speed kings.
But the Army laughed at him, SO
Eddie acted as Gen Pershing's chauf-
feur in France He won his transfer
to the Air corps in August, 1917. And
when Rickenbacker came back, he
was the Nations leading war ace, with
26 enemy planes to his credit and
medals galore.
His hands and face are wind
tanned brown He is interested pri-
marily in the welfare of his wife, the
former Mrs. Adelaide Durant. and
his adopted son. David Ledward
Rickenhacker. His mania still is fly
ing and driving.

Southwest Africa, his life endangered
by wild animals.
Il spent the most hair-raising night
Of my lite out there" said Sir NAL
colin, whose many risks on motor
speedways never gave him COM
parable thrill
Halfway on a 250-mile flight to
Walfish Bay from the Kalahari Des-
ert, where they had been prospecting
for gold, Campbell and his pilot, Full
ford, were forced down by damaged
propeller.
To minimize the risk, Fulford flew
alone to Luderitz for repairs and was
unable to return for Campbell for
nearly two days.
Finding leopards' spoors, Campbell
decided to spend the night on top of
hillock. He suffered from intense
cold and as he dozed suddenly heard
an animal shifting near him.
Jumping to his feet, Campbell
flashed torch into a pair of glaring
eyes, soaring off the intruder For the
rest Of the night he was on the alert,
a variety of noises adding to his un-
eaSineSs.
Sir Malcolm had no food and little
water. Added TO his discomfortS was
worry over whether Fulford had
crashed in the damaged plane.

GRAY PLACES HIGH TAX
BLAME UPON CONGRESS
House Member Challenges State
Legislatures to Demand Relief
in Proper Quarter.

Placing the blame for the present
burden of taxation upon the National
Congress, Representative Finly H.
Gray. Democrat, of Indiana, chal-
lenged State Legislatures to demand
of the Federal legislative body imme-
diate action to restore values and price
levels and re-establish the power to
pay taxes. Gray spoke over a national
radio network Friday night.
Under the failure of earnings and
income the people cannot both pay
taxes and live" Gray declared. Fac
ing this emergency and crisis, it must
be realized and understood that the
impulse of men to live and provide
for those who by nature are depen-
dent upon them is higher and more
controlling than the obligation to pay
taxes; that, under the natural impulse
to live, the law of peace, order and
property must give way to the higher
law of life. when men are forced to
choose between the right to live and
the obligation to pay taxes"

Later. they decided to march to the
Senate side.
Hearing Of the advance, the man.
agement Of the Senate restaurant
closed the doors. Rebuffed there, the
students decided to visit the Senate
gallery. and after finding the doors
closed there because the Senate was
not in session, returned to the House
side and went to the gallery. Although
the House was In session at the time,
no attempt was made to enter the
gallery. Instead, the demonstrators
studied the paintings on the walls
overlooking the steps to the gallery.
and finally returned TO the street
floor, but made no attempt to go into
the restaurant as they passed.
About this time the demonstrators
had heard of the arrest of Covington
and left the Capitol to go to the first
precinct station, where they loitered
about for about a half an hour and
then dispersed.
P. H. johnson of North Carolina,
manager of the restaurant, said the
rule against colored persons would be
continued unless changed by the Ac-
counts Committee. He pointed out
there is a restaurant under the main
dining room where colored persons
are served
In this restaurant, Johnson ex-
planned. the same service and same
food is provided as in the main res
taurant, but at a more reasonable
price because the overhead is not as
great.

Mr.. Rickenbacker-With due re-
spect to you all, think 1 have
earned my heritage to citizenship in
this country. I have a fundamental
interest in the country'S welfare far
and beyond my interest in air trans
port or the science of aefonautics,
and to that end believe that in fair
ness to our Chief Executive, who has
been guided in a measure by Divine
Spirit up until the day of the cancel
lation of these contracts, should in
purging this industry of so-called un-
desirable elements. which have not as
yet been proven, purge his Official
family of those traitorous elements,
few in number, I presume, who have
misadvised or advised without giving
full facts and caused him to act con-
trary to American principles and
American justice and Judgment to
such q degree that millions of people
in this country have grown to the
point of questioning his Judgment in
times when We are on the verge of
pulling out from the dregs of what
has been a daStardly depression and
now cause again that feeling across
this continent, ocean to ocean and
border to border, Of unproven ques-
tionable fact
1t is not the loss of the aircraft
industry or air transport industry in
this case. That is incidental. That
can be wiped off the slate and for
gotten. We can forget we ever owned
an airplane; but it is the question
of the millions who doubt in their
mind as to whether what the Presi-
dent has SO ably accomplished in the
N. R. A. C. w. A, gold content and
many others that have been proven
or had time to prove they are as big
a mistake as cancellation of the air
mai! contracts, and whether or not
tomorrow c. w. A. is also question

backer, will have to ask you not to
attack the President or make po-
litical speech. Please, Mr.. Ricken-
