Warns ki.Uanis
OF "Lunatics"
And Promises

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. May 90
)-Kiwanis International was
warned in the clubs annual con-
vention today against "the lunatic
fringe, gathered wistfully at the
foot of the demagogues," in an ad-
dress by DR.. William j. Darlington,
Atlantic City, president.
Maj. Gen. John F.. Organ, for
mer New York police commissioner
and overseas commander of the
9th division during the World
war, followed DR.. Darlington with
stirring appeal for peace and
abandonment of the sinister and
challenging aspect" of the Ameri-
can policy of isolation.
I'm the western world the luna
tic fringe gathers wistfully at the
feet of dangerous demagogues who
have strange and ominous banners
and shout preposterous promises, "
DR.. Darlington asserted.
"Mobocracy has spread its net
and may capture the United States
and Canada unless an Indifferent
electorate becomes aggres essive
enough to .ree democracy from its
excessive cost"

PLANE STALLS
ABOVE SPIRES
Of MANHATT TAN

NEW YORK, May 90 UP)-The
motor of an airplane stalled 1000
feet above the thick forest of sky
scrapers of midtown Manhattan.
Directly below, less than 300 feet
away, was the spire of the worlds
highest building, the Empire State.
Pilot Michael Stupelli, responsible
for his own life and those of three
passengers, realized he couldn't
make forced landing among sky
scripers.
Il tell you they're making Won
derful planes these days" said a
passenger They're SO quiet. Why,
it's hard to realize the motor is
running"
Stupelli could see the propeller,
turning over without force, only by
momentum. The motor was dead.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw
the tops of the skyscrapers coming
closer and closer. But since he
didn't want to risk the danger of
panic, he agreed affably that mod
ern airplanes we're indeed silent,
and launched into a discourse on
the marvels OF aviation to keep his
passengers from looking out the
cabin windows.
Meanwhile he had set his course
for the longest possible glide,
thinking of a vacant lot he knew
in Brooklyn. He reached the East
River with 1000 feet elevation. On
the other shore Brooklyn began,
another continuous patchwork OF
brick and steel.
The plane now was two thirds
across the river with an eleva-
ton of 800 feet. A quarter of a
mile ahead was series of tall
buildings he couldn't possibly
clear.
Desperately Stupelli talked Sud-
denly he shouted:
Hang on, hang on Tight"
The passengers looked out. The
river, now 10 feet below, was ris-
ing toward them. Stupelli pulled
the planes nose up, and its tail
dragged in the water, checking
momentum. Suddenly the machine
pancaked into the water with a
terrific splash.
"All right" said Stupelli. Lets
crawl out on the wings or we'll get
our feet wet"
The plane and passengers were
toWed ashore by a police launch.

INSPIRED BY

WASHINGTON, May 20. iU.R -
Administration leaders acted today
in advance of arrival of business

At first intimation from MIRA op-
ponents that the administration Is
sponsoring the march, officials
denied emphatically that such was
the case. The idea, they said, Or
iginated and is being executed en-
tirely by the business men.
Their caution in avoiding any
appearance of promoting the move
ment followed severe criticism le-
veled at the department of agricul-
ture because of the delegation of
4,500 farmers here last week to
cheer AAA.
Donald Richberg, NRA admins
traitor, said he had made no ar
rangementS to talk to the business
men.
"If you talk, it looks like pro-
paganda," he said. These people
are supporting themselves from
their own contributions. Nothing is
coming from NRA."
Sen. William H. King, Dem) i,
Utah, active opponent of NRA, was
among the first to suggest the
march" scheduled for mid-Week,
may not be entirely the business
mems idea.
There is a closer connection be-
tween this movement and NRA
than there was between the farm
march and the AAA," he said. He
said code authorities over the
country conducted a great deal OF
propaganda in connection with the
