WORK RUSHED
On Ne " NAVY
SUPER PLANES

SAN DIEGO. Aug. 16. UR) -
Quietly and without the fanfare
which accompanied flights of the
Douglas mystery plane" plans for
construction of 60 super-fighteN
for the naval patrol service rap
idly are being completed here.
The Consolidated Aircraft corpo-
ration, rushing construction on its
new plant, has been awarded the
contracts for building the ships
after a series of unheralded flights
on the east coast
The Douglas plane, still a "mys-
terry" but no longer an exciting
one, is stored at the naval air sta
tion. The plane, found unsuited
to navy needs, must remain there
for the customary years secrecy
surrounding every new plane tested
by the navy.
The new planes, built along lines
OF present patrol ships but with
more power, speed and a longer
cruising range, are to be of the
flying boat type.
Two wasp double-bank motors of
approximately 500 horsepower or
more will be used, and are expect
ed to provide a top speed of more
than 200 miles an hour. The cruis-
ing range is to be heightened until
the planes may perform maneu7ers
more than 1900 miles from their
home base.

WOMEN NE 7
STARS HAVE
TOUCH FIGHT.
By STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. U.R) - The
toughest Wightman cup assignment
since 1880, when the British last
won, faced Americas team in the
annual International jousts opening
today.
Three of seven matches of the
two-day show were lifted for de-
cision today. In only one was the
American side favored Helen ia
eobs of Berkeley, Cal, national
champion, was about to to beat
Kay .Stammers in the first match.
Right there the American favor
itism ended. The second match in
volved the most recent sensation of
American womens tennis, Tiny
Mrs Ethel Burkhardt Arnold of
California. and England's most de-
pendable performer. Doroty Round.
Miss Round did not want to come
here for Wightman cup play. She
said she was fed up" and wouldn't
come.
Fred Perry, England'S greatest,
convinced her that it was her pa
triotic duty" to change her mind
So here she is, and the very fact
that she came more or less under
protest will mitigate against her
chances. And Miss Round is con-
siderably more of a player than
any Mrs. Burkhardt defeated in
her recent tourney successes.
In today's third match the Eng
lish side definitely is favored. 1t
will be doubles test between Miss
Jacobs and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey
Fabyan of Brookline, Mass, and the
English combination of Miss Stam-
merS and Freda James. Mrs. Fab
yam, who as Sarah Palfrey was
ranked second nationally last year.
has played below form this season.
Thus Miss Jacobs will carry most
of the burden in the one doubles
match of the day after already haV-
ing played one match
Mrs. Fabyan, relegated to the No
3 singles berth, will play Mrs. Phyl-
lis Mudford King in the first of
Saturdays four matches. The next
two contests will be singles matches
between the No. l and No. 2 play
erS, in reverse order of today's
pairingS. The outcome may hinge
on the final doubles contest. in
which Carolyn Babcock of Los An
geles and Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of
Stamford, Conn, will play Nancy
Lyle and Evelyn Dearman.

STERILIZATION
FOR CRIMINALS
IN OKLAHOMA 4

OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug. 16. U9
sational developments-has bolster
ed the federal state measure pro-
Viding the death penalty for kid
naping for ransom.
The bill, passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, is the strong
est action Oklahoma has ever taken
toward stamping out kidnapping. It
became effective 90 days after pas
sage.
1t was sponsored by Rep. Ben
Huey, Norman. and went through
both the house and senate with
scarcely a hitch. Another meas
ure, designed to make Oklahoma
hot for habitual criminals" was
passed at almost the same time,
and went into effect at once.
1t was supported by Sen. Louis
Ritzhaupt, Guthrie surgeon, and
swept aside all legal delays in OBJ
tanning court orders for steriliza-
ton of penitentiary inmates serv-
ing third terms.
If man has served two pre-
vious prison terms, even in other
states, and is convicted of an
other felony in Oklahoma, after
passage of the bill, the attorney
general Immediately brings suit in
district court for an order for his
sterilization.
Two suits are soon to be brought
to test conStitutionality of the law.
The former sterilization measure,
under which more than 100 insane
persons were sterilized, was never
invoked successfully on habitual
criminals. 1t has been estimated
on the basis of prison records that
200 criminals may be prosecuted a
year under this law.
Huey's measure puts the McAles-
ter penitentiary electric chair at
the end of the kidnapers' trails. 1t
applies, however, only to kidnap-
ingS for ransom.
Stern Penalties For Aids
Others who aid or abet in ram
som negotiations, acting as inter
mediaries for the kidnapers, or who
assist in concaleing kidnapers, are
subject to heavy prison sentences.
Ritzhaupt and Huey said they
believed their measures combined
would "go a long way toward clean
ing up the crime situation in this
state"
Arthur Gooch, first person to re-
ceive the death penalty under the
federal Lindbergh law, recently was
sentenced by Federal Judge R. l.
Williams, Muskogee, to hang fol
the kidnapping of two Paris, Texas
! policemen.

slim, darker than most Morse
girls, sweet of countenance, and
has great personal charm.
In spite of the fact that her
mother had wanted her to be a
doctor, and had done nothing to
teach her the piano, Nine. Flag
stad was playing the great. old
fashioned grand piano in her
home when she was S. When
she was 10, she began to study
operatic parts, not because she
expected to be an opera singer.
but because she liked to sing,
and enjoyed that kind Of music.
Her relatives and friends did not
give her dolls and toys when
she was a child, but opera
scores; and the first time that
she sang in public was at a lit
tie party when she was con-
firmed.
Nine. Flagstad next studied
in Stockholm for two years, dur
ing which she built up a roper
toire of 80 parts, while going to
opera at every opportunity. On
the side, she studied dancing
and "plaStics," the closest trans
lation for which seemed to be
what to do and what not to do
! with the hands and feet.
j She appeared in the Oslo
opera for three years, then the
Gothenburg opera for two years.
After that, she was married, and
retired for two years, while she
tried to convince herself she
would retire permanently. Music
! won. and after that came Bay
reuth, st. Moritz and New York.
, Although her grandparents
and their parents before them
had been farmers, Nine. Flag.
stad's father was an orchestra
conductor. Her mother was a
pianist and organist, who had
had her first recital at the age
Of 8; and her elder brother
is a cellist and conductor. An
other brother, who is q. clever
pianist, made his debut at the
age of 18 with the Philhar.

sister, Karen Maria, also Is an

In speaking Of her first ap-
pearance in New York, it is said
that no Sieglinde of the past
10 years has made such an i'm.

in Lake Eola Gardens with
in easy walking distance of

and profuse bloom.
Against the fresh green
of the trees that are making
