 Al Rogell, is one director who do- esn't believe in letting these fault finders discover anything wrong in his films. He has a system which prevent this very thing-persona re search.
 Weeks before he began production of the film, Rogell spent several days at the United Airport in Holly wood, the largest in the West, inter- viewing executives, fiiers and air hostesses themselves, so that various situations they planned for their story would not be askew.
 Evalyn Knapp. James Murray and Thelma Todd have principal roles in the production adapted for the screen by Keene Thompson and Mil ton Raison.

CONGRESS WILL BUY
POSTS WINNIE MAE
Bill to Acquire, by Strange Quirk,
Comes Up on Day Bringing
News of Flyers Death.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BY a quirk of fate, Congress decided
to buy Wiley Posts world -girdling
plane, Winnie Mae, on the day that
brought news of the pilots death.
The measure came up yesterday
during the regular call of the Senate
Calendar and not because of any spe-
cial arrangement. Later the House
also passed the bill, but because of
a minor change requiring Senate ap-
proval, final action was not possible.
The bill would authorize the pay
ment Of up to $25,000 to Post for the
ship, which would be placed in the
Smithsonian Institution.
It was the Winnie Mae that car
ried Post and Harold Gatty to their
record flight around the world in
days, Is hours and 81 minutes.
Post later made solo world flight
in the plane in days, 1S hours and
49 minutes.
Democrat and Republican leaders
paid tribute to Post and Will Rogers,
who died with him.
Senator Thomas, Democrat. Okla
homa, co-author of the bill. noted the
coincidence under which it came up
in the Senate on the day of Posts
death and added that it was a cit
ting tribute to a brave explorer and
intrepid pilot"
The companion bill in the House
was introduced by Representative Lee,
Democrat, Oklahoma.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, August H.
United States Army Signal Corps men,
serving every important point in
Alaska and linking them by radio with
the outside world, rose to the occasion
when the Rogers-Post airplane tradegy
caused an almost unprecedented flow
of private and press messages.
Like their colleague, Staff Sergt
Stanley R. Morgan, alone in desolate
and isolated Point Barrow when word
of the disaster came to him, every
Signal Corps man and officer in
Alaska and at the Seattle terminal
of the Alaska Telegraph System stayed
at his key or his typewriter for hours.
Morgan, back from the grim duty
of recovering the bodies at Refuge
Bay, Is miles southwest of Barrow,
stayed at his key until late last night
without relief and without sleep. He
had opened his key at AIS o'clock
in the morning after assisting DR..
Henry w. Greist and other settlers
in caring for the bodies.
Offered relief, the veteran sergeant
answered by wireless: ct can hold it

MAYSVILLE, Okla, August H.
Home folk will gather at a small
grove before the farm home of Wiley
Posts parents near here to pay final
tribute to the noted flyer who crashed
with Will Rogers in Alaska.
"I think the best place is right
here at home" said gray-haired w
F. Post. I'VE can have the services
out in the yard, where it's shady"
The decision was made after the
flyers widow arrived to learn his
parents wishes on the funeral
She hastened to the humble frame
bungalow in the Washita Valley from
Ponca City where she had been Wis
iting, to assure the parents their
wishes about funeral plans would go
unquestioned.
The 'round-the-wor flyer will be
buried in Oklahoma City, however.
The elder Post, after conferring
with his sobbing wife, murmured:
I'VE may not be here always, and
we'd like to know his grave never
would go untended."
Young Mrs. Post prepared today to
speed to Seattle by airplane to meet
the body of her husband. She re-
turned to Ponca City last night.
Final funeral plans will take form
when she claims the body.
Hardly awake even yet to the reality
Of Posts death. the proud but un-
assuming people of his little rural
home town gathered in small groups
and spoke of little else.
The Posts were left to sorrow alone
on their small farm 3 miles north OF
here.
The aviator's parents are gentle and
unassuming folk. hardly aware the
world can share their grief with them.
Neighbors arrived, laden with food,
carrying on the traditions Of the
Southwest. Mr.. Post worried some
what about his milking but was
told by neighborly friends they had
taken care of the COWS for him.
An understanding of the regard the
world held Tor Wiley Post came slowly
to the father. in spite of his over
whelming love.
But now his estimate is made.
Il never did want to be vain about
it." he enunciated slowly, choosing
his words with care, and I never told
Wiley so.
But I have come to think that
he is one Of the greatest men that
ever lived"

ference of 1880:
I'VE stood through l speech, sat
through 8 slept through II, and in
three solid hours of compliments not
a rowboat was sunk"
He was strongly opposed TO formal
attire and at dinner in Port of Spain.
Trinidad, he expressed his opinion Of

disappeared during the discourse, re-
turned wearing a silk suit.
Commenting on Andrew Melons

Court Of st. James: why, man
with as much money as Andy could
be popular anywhere"
Discussing world opinion: IF the
weather isn't right, we did it. If there
are too many debts, it Is our fault
If the Prince of Wales doesn't marry,
we are to blame" >"
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi
relates that he warned Rogers of the
dangers of flying. He merely told
me-" the Senator said. that I would
be killed some time trying to hit a
golf ball"
When someone asked him what he
did on trip to several cities he re-
piled:
Just blathered"
Whats blathering?" he was
asked.
