 Dimond pointed to other outstand- ing flights by Crosson, ace-pilot of the Pacific Alaska Airways, includ- ing the discovery of the body of the late Colonel Carl Ben Eielson in Siberia, and his aid to Wiley Post when the latter was circling the globe on his second record-breaking flight, besides other humanitarian flights in the Northland.
 Speech By DimOnd
 Shocked and stunned as we are at the untimely deaths of Will Rog- CTS and Wiley Post, may I suggest at this fitting time, We pay tribute to an airman not so famous, but one of outstanding accomplishments, one who in character and flying skill probably equals any one on earth" said the Delegate from Alaska, in speech, prepared and read to the House of Representatives.

NEW YORK, April l7-Walters q.
Clifford, president Of the American
Telephone g. Telegraph Co., told
stockholders at their annual meeting
today that the number Of telephones
In use was showing slow but con-
tinuous growth and the business out
look was encouraging.
More than 500 stockholders attended
the meeting and one of the first ques-
tions asked Clifford was the amount OF
his salary. He replied that his annual
compensation was $206,250 and that
no bonuses were paid.
Questioned by another stockholder
regarding the agitation for lower rates,
he said in his 81 years In the tele-
phone business he could not recall a
time when lower rates were not being
agitated.
There is nothing particularly alb
normal about the telephone rate STU
alton today" he said. "The company
would like to make lower rates, and
when ways and means can be devised
they will be put into effect"
He disclosed in response to further
questioning that A. T. 81 T. was giving
serious consideration to the question
of refunding its bonds, and that
something may be done" II all Is
sues were placed on 3la per cent
basis, however, he said, 1t would save
only Is to 20 cents O share on the
outstanding stock, an amount insufn-
cient fundamentally to affect dividend
policies.
Regarding the business outlook, he
added, THE Bell system Is now gain
ing stations in practically all sections
OF the country. In the first two weeks
Of April there was a net gain Of 22,50o

gusted expression swept over his face. The
fellow was as careless of himself as he was of
his work. Evidently Sebring was finding it a
task to get the iron spike fitted properly into
the hole in the brick. To get at it better he
had placed his right knee on the parapet and
his left leg now hung in the air over the pent-
house terrace. A dangerous position, thought
Ralston. The slightest slip. the merest touch
of vertigo perhaps and - well, it would be
curtains for Sebring.
Curtains for Sebring! A sudden white light
seemed to illuminate Ralston's brain, stim-
ulate it to rapid thought. They were alone,
on top of building that lowered over its
fellows. No one would see. No one would even
suspect. Workmen on buildings often slipped,
fell to their death. Commonest of accidents.
And here was Sebring poised so carelessly on
the parapet that the least jar or blow, coming
as surprise, would - would. q. Suddenly
Ralston thanked heaven that he had kept his
hatred of Sebring to himself
Still straddling the parapet. Ralston
reached down carefully, drew the heavy stick
out of his paint can. He must act quickly.
Sebring wouldn't remain in that position long.
He raised the stick. Sebring's back was a
mere twenty feet away. If he missed - hell.
he wasn't going to miss He drew his hand
back as far as his shoulder, then, with quick
overland snap-throw such as a baseball
catcher uses, flung the stick hard.
As it flew toward Sebrings back, Ralston
closed his eyes. He had never seen death of
his own making before. He found he could not
look at it now. Consequently he did not see
the stick veer slightly, curve harmlessly past
Sebring's ear.
When he opened his eyes. he had quick
fash of two things - Sebring's back still in
its former position and then .. darting
object rushing with incredible speed right at
his own face.
He tried to dodge. Too late. Something
heavy and hard crashed against his forehead.
Without 50 much as cry, Ralston toppled
CONTINUED on page 49,
Evening star., 1935-05-12

Sebring better to stall along on jobs, letting
Ralston do the work and extracting half the
profits. It was kind of affable blackmail that
Sebring had gone in for Ralston was sick of it.
He turned from faring inspection of
Sebring's back and contemplated the flower
boxes. Aha, just as he d thought The painting
of the boxes had been entrusted to Sebring
and the job on that one there was sloppy.
Some of the wood showed through the over
coating of green paint. Trust Sebring to make
mess of it Ralston was so used to this kind
of thing that nowadays he tried to provide
against its causing too much trouble. This
morning, for instance, he had brought the
can of green paint along, just in case the
box needed touching up.
The sun, climbing steadily, had dried the
paint little And the stick for stirring it,
which should have been in the can, was miss
ing. More of Sebring's carelessness, thought
Ralston. He began to look around the terrace
for suitable substitute
DeJonge's effects were all about awaiting
the arrival of servants to put them to rights.
Ralston soon found something that would
serve to stir his paint. 1t was heavy stick.
flat-sided, several inches in diameter and
curved slightly. Ralston hefted it. The thing

was of plain wood and could not possibly have
value. He doubted il it even belonged to
DeJonge. Probably something discarded by
the workmen who had been here While he
was regarding it, Sebring set up cheerful
whistling. Ralston, seized by sudden irrita-
ton, plunged the stick into the paint can and
began to stir vigorously. The whistling con.
tinued. Ralston's aggravation grew.
"Say." he called angrily, don't you ever
do anything but loaf and whistler"
Sebring turned, look of mild surprise on
his face. Then his eyes narrowed.
Il don't have to do anything but loaf and
whistle" he said ooolly. Unless want to-"
Ralston bit his lip and bent over his paint
ing job. The devil of it was. Sebring was
right. The thought maddened Ralston.
He moved his paint can closer to the par
apet and inspected a box that had already
been clamped in place. Humph! This one was
badly painted too. Particularly the side of it
that rose above the outer edge of the parapet.
In order to reach it with his brush, Ralston
had to straddle the parapet itself. He did this
gingerly. conscious of being twenty-three
stories in the air.
