SAILORS IN NICE
GET LEAVE BACK
Stroll Along Riviera Under
Pledge Not to Repeat
Outbreak.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NICE, France. July limited
States sailors and Marines strolled
along the Reviera tonight under a
pledge to "be good" and not repeat
the outbreaks of last night in which
% persons were injured.
To make certain that the promise
was not broken a double shore patrol
was on duty from the two American
bsttleshipS.p the Arkansas and Wyo-
ming, which lie in Villefranche Har-
Dor.
The shore leave for small groups
was a reversal of the first policy fol-
lowing the fight.
After the sailors injured and ar
rested in last nights fight had been
turned over to naval authorities, all
shore leave was Cancelled
This afternoon, however naval and
police authorities met with the Amer
lean consul here. and all decided that
it would be unfair to punish the crews
for the misdeeds of their comrades.
The fights last night broke out in
several cafes at 9pce. and were quelled
only after naval patrols came to the
assistance of the Nice police, who
were having rather hard time.
The damage was estimated at
$4,000 francs ($1 1929, and will now
become the subject of new inter-
national claims board.
Sailors and civilians, with whom
they fought, still showed some resent
ment in spots today. the former being
particularly angry over the shooting
of Joseph Kline. %. by Leon Curpy,
chief of the surete.
kline's condition was reported
slightly improved, but he still had the
bullet in his neck
Curpy said he acted in self-defense
after the sailor beat him as the chief
was trying to prevent a woman from
being annoyed.
The view of some of the sailors
was that use of firearms was not JUS
tilted.

Yesterday over Washington there was
a pronounced temperature inversion
and Washington people on the streets
were cooler than aviators flying a mile
above the ground.
At $50 am, when the flight was
made, there was a ground tempera-
ture of 10 degrees, with 90 degrees of
humidity AS the plane climbed above
the city the temperature increased to
rs degrees. Not until the plane had
climbed more than mile did the
temperature begin to fall. In climb
ing to $1,000 feet, however, the plane
always goes into below-zero tempera-
lures and always. for time at the
peak of the climb. the pilot and
aerographer are SO cold as to be
acutely uncomfortable.
Seldom Miss a Flight.
The percentages of weather flights
completed at the 26 stations are re-
markably high. Seldom do the pilots
miss more than one or two flights a
month. At Dallas. Tex, there has
not been a miss in more than a year.
Other stations have rome through
year with more than SO per cent of
all flights made.
At Anacostia, weather conditions
along the Atlantic Coast being more
treacherous than inland, because Of
fast-rising ground fogs and other con-
ditions, orders are that pilots are not
to undertake the daily weather flight
unless there is a ceiling Of 800 feet
and the pilot is given orders to stop
climbing at any time when conditions
become unduly dangerous One flight
was abandoned at 10000 feet when
the plane encountered such heavy
rain that the ignition system began
to fail
There have been no serious acci-
dents in connection with the weather
flights, according to Weather Bureau
records. At Cleveland contract
civilian pilot was killed in a flight
Immediately following his daily
weather fight, but the accident had
nothing to do with the weather
