(edt) last night. IA hours, IS minutes and 50 sec onds after she took off alone from the dry bed of old Lake Mexico, near Mexico City. The distance is 2100 miles.
 Tired But Happy
 Tired but happy, she retired at 2 a. m., today, leaving orders that she not to be disturbed before II a. m.
 More exhausting than her flight, 1t seemed, was the reception she received on landing. A crowd csti- mated at 10000 to- 15.000 persons welcomed her in sceens reminis- cent of the transatlantic flying days of 1921. Sweeping aside the 45 policemen who had been as- signed to maintain order, the crowd

BODY OF MISSING MRS GORDON IS
 FOUND IN RIVER
Young Society Mother of Pennington Was Gone
 for One Month

.Farmington, May 9-CUP)--A months search for Mrs Andrew Gordon, attractive young society mother who disappeared April 10 when she left home to go to a store, ended with the finding of her body in Farmington river, 10 miles from home. Searching parties had combed Pennington and ad- joining areas for three weeks Tn one of the most intensive hunts ever conducted. Airplanes had scared over the densly wooded sections and grapplers had dragged the river at various points until forced to relinquish their task.

 by Police Chief Nathan w. Fuller and Medical Examiner Dr John P. Carver said death was due to drowning.

AUTO DISPUTE
 IS DEADLOCKED

Toledo. O., May 9-U.P.)-Re- ncwed deadlock faced federal con- ciliators in the automobile labor controversy to-day after Chevrolet workers here voted down a propos- al to return to work on the com pany's terms. Fate of automobile production at the peak of the rush season was in jeopardy as Edward F. McGrady, assistant secretary of labor. attempted to reopen nego- tiations in Detroit between officials of General Motors Corporation and the United Automobile Workers Union.
 The Chevrolet workers voted to continue the strike here by a ma jority of more than two to one, 1251 bailoting to reject the com promise proposal and 605 voting to accept 1t.
 The outcome was a decisive vic- tory for the American Federation of Labor, which urged workers to refuse the proposal. The truce plan previously had been rejected by union officials, and was submitted to vote of the workers only after pressure had ben brought by a newiy-organized independent workers society. H

TORCH MURDER CRIME CLEARED
 BY CONFESSION
Father and Son Arrested, But Former Admits
 He Is Guilty

Boston, May (UP)-Swift justice was promised by Middlesex county authorities today in the case of a 51-year-old bridegroom and his 23-year-old son who allegedly have confessed to the fantastic torch murder of an unidentified la borer in a $12,500 insurance plot.
 Frank Di Stasio, 2t6-pound Re- were candy manufacturer who'was captured in the Back Bay only a few hours before his scheduled wedding last night, and his son An- thony were held without bail on murder charges while police strove to attach a name to the charred body found in the formers flaming automobile near Lake Boone, Hud- son, late Monday night.
 Father Takes Blame
 The elder Di Stasio, with meek ness that belied his physical bulk. assumed full responsibility for the diabolical crime police said. and the son confirmed that his part in the plot was only incidental. But autohrities believed them almost equally guilty and moved to send both to the electric chair.
 The father had hoped that the victims body, burned beyond re- cognition by gasoline-fed flames, would be mistaken for his. so that the son could collect the insurance.
