Q .oaa United eress Associations

9 103A unateo EgeSs ASSoclauouSs | (Copyright, 1884, by United Press) Hollywood, Feb 21-(UP)-The aid of Southern California and Arizona authorities was invoked to-day in the search for Ginger Rogers, missing since last Satur- day.
 Radio broadcasts were ordered after Richard Hunt, the acstress' press agent, informed the sheriff's office that she was needed immedi- ately by her studio and that he had nd other way of locating her. She dropped from sight after leav- ing a note for her mother, stating "Pll be perfectly safe, so don't look for me-
 It was believed she went into seclusion at some resort for 8 rest. For the last three months she had been working hard and had thought her services would not be required for some time.
 Hunt said the only way he could arrange for a police search was to file formal missing person" re- port.
 Married life for Sidney Fox was one abuse after another, she charged to-day in filing a divorce suit against Charles Beahan, seen arist.
 The action brought to an end short-lived reconciliation that followed their separation two weks ago. Beahan celebrated" the reconciliation by beating her, the actress alleged. They were married at Harrison, N. Y., De- cember IA, 1882. No alimony was sought.
 !. A speedy divorce was in pros- pect to-day for Kay Francis, sched- uled to appear before Superior Judge Joseph P. Sproul in behalf of her divorce action against Ken. meth McKenna, her third husband. Through his attorney, McKenna announced he would not contest the suit. Miss Francis charged in nagged at her during their three her complaint that her husband years of married life, causing her to become upset and nervous.
 Margaret Sullavan was the yic- tim of an unusual accident to-day. Working in scene with Douglas Montgomery, she leaped aside as Montgomery picked up a couple of cocktail glasses and slammed them on the floor. But she jumped too late. Fragments of shattered glass struck her leg, infiicting a slight gash that required emergency treatment.

Great Shakeup Certain

That will hold things until the government works out a perma- nent plan. It will lose no time on this. It hopes to get it done before congress adjourns, probably in may. Therefore, it is a good guess that the army will not be flying the mail longer than June or July.
 What seems now to be the most likely course for permanent opera ton is combination of possibin- ties and 3, given above. In other words, some of the lines will be turned back to their present con- tractors, after the companies have been reorganized thoroughly and renovated, and the rest will be let out to entirely new companies.
 But all will be very much dif- ferent than it is now; not in out ward physical aspect, but in tho business end.

Must Protect Workers

An interdepartmental committed here in Washington daily Is thresh. ing around through scores of sug. gestiens that have come in. There are at least a dozen sound, prob. ably workable plans for permanent operation being considered.
 No mater what plan is ar.
 rived at, the committee will in-
 sist on the protection as far as
 possible of stockholders of
 present companies, on the
 holding together of the net
 work of 5000 experienced peO-
 pie now doing the actual work
 on the airlincs, and on a guar
 antce that our world-leading
 air transport system shall sur-
 vice.
 They want to preserve the frame work of the system now in exist ence-the people and the physical assets. They find nothing wrong with that part of it. What must go are the politicians and financial manipulators.

 Seek Workable Plan
 On the other hand, officials are
 working madly in Washington ' right now, holding dozens of con -ferences daily, trying to figure out 8 workable plan to keep the air
 transport system going.
 There are three or four possi- bilities:
 V. 1-Permanent government oper- alton of both airmail and passenger < lines. But the government is not considering such step as this. 2-Holding to the letter of the ( law that none of the busted con- tractors can bid again for five
 years, and turning all routes, : through competitive bidding, over ct oentirely new contractors. 3-Reorganizing all the present : companies, and then giving their routes back to them under strict government supervision.
 Army Cuts Mileage z Just now, it appears that tho picture will shape itself up some- thing as follows:
 The army, when told to take over ~ the mail. laid out reduced air. mall. map of its own. Under that !. plaa, it would fly about half of the <. present airmail mileage, covering all the trunk lines. T Very shortly number of feeder | z. routes would be turned over to in- l 8- dependent lines 1ines which pre- '. viously have carired only passen- gere), these contracts to be arrived | v a teither by bidding or private | agreement.
 As soon as possible, Postmaster = General Farley hopes to have, in r a combination of army and inde- pendent airline service, more air. . mail mileage being covered than --Gt present.

D.C.NURSE GETS
FLYING PRIZE

Edna Gardner, Washington's
pretty flying nurse, today has a
check for $500 representing first
prize in the annual Annette Glib
son air race for women pilots
but she received it only after much
argument.
It seems that the race, flown
at Roosevelt Field, New York,
called for the girls to circle the
course three times.
But Mrs. Francis MarSalis kept
on going and did four laps, ending
in first place, with II of the 10
girls following her.
Then came the protests. Miss
Edith Cavis, Of Washington, had
finished the three laps in first
place. But it was developed that
she had gone faster than her
handicap allowance permitted. So
she was disqualified.
The judges went into a huddle
and decided that Miss Gardner
had followed Miss CaviS across the
line at the end Of the third lap,
and should receive the prize.

RIVER DRAGGED
FOR VICTIM

Harbor police and civilian vol
unteers today continued dragging
the Potomac River between
Georgetown and the Chain Bridge
to locate the body of an unidenti-
fled white man WHO slipped to
his death in the river yesterday
above Chain Bridge.
Police were notified by j. Par
ker Luckett, of Falls Church, who
said the man was sitting on the
rocks on the Virginia side about
100 yards above the bridge. Mr..
Luckett told police he heard the
man cry out and looked up in
time to see him slide across the
rocks and fall about Is feet into
the water. He did not reappear,
the witness declared.
