Approximately 5000 persons,
less than half of whom paid to
see the show, turned out for the
thrilling air circus put on by the
famed Flying Aces at the Eliza
beth City airport yesterday after
noon.
The show went off almost ex-
actly as scheduled and without a
single mishap before one of the
largest crowds ever to assemble
for any one event in this section.
Perhaps the biggest thrill of the
show was Jack Huber's Sensa-
tional delayed-opening parachute
jump, in which the daredevil
jumper fell over two miles before
opening his chute. The plane was
at from $4,000 to $4,000 feet when
Huber Jumped, and he pulled the
rip-cord at around 1000 feet.
Buber, incidentally, announced
last night that he is now training
with the intention of breaking the
worlds record for delayed-open-
ing parachute jumping.
The prettiest flying of the day
was done by Squeak" Burnett,
who after two unsuccessful efforts
to get his plane off the field, final
ly got into the air and proceeded
to execute daring inverted aero
battles that drew gasps of awe and
appreciation from spectators.
The big hand of the day, how
ever, went to Jessie Martin, a.
year-old girl stunt artist, who
stood on the top wing of a plane
while it executed loops and bar

Wurzburg, Germany, June 27.-
(U.P)-Fuehrer Adolf Hitler told
10000 Bavarian Nazis today that
Germany is cured" of any fur
ther participation in collective
security and will insist upon an
insurgent victory in Spain.
Germany needs Spanish ore,
and that is why we want a ma

shouted in his speech before a

vention.
Hitler served flat warning to
Great Britain and France that
they could expect no further CO.

forts to isolate" the Spanish civ

held on the lawn Of st. Elizabeth's
Roman Catholic church.
The Rev. Michael F.. Carey, pas
tor of the local church, made a
brief address of welcome and in

who extended the official welcome
on the part of the city. Mayor
Flora spoke on the points of in

Following the speech Of the
mayor Mr.. Edward Sutton OF
Norfolk sang the Star Spangled

After this interlude the Rev.
James B. Albert, S. S. j., Of Nor

of the afternoon. In his talk he
pointed out how all Christians
were bonded together by prayer
and good works and that coming
from Norfolk and other Virginia
cities was in itself a good work,
however, this tour Of good will
should be augmented further by
a constant mutual help in the
form of prayer.
The religious portion of the
program consisted of Benediction
of the Most Blessed Sacrament

ser of Norfolk as celebrant, Rev.

Would Clarity Act
and Remove Cause
of Much Strife

Wa hington. June 27. - W.H -
Sen. Arthur Vandenberg, r., Mich,
tonight said that early this week
he will offer three amendments to
the Wagner labor act which would
ban "quickie" walk-outS, purge
unions of foreigners, and remove
the cause of the strike in little
steel by requiring written collec-
tive bargaining contracts.
In announcing his plans, Van
denberg conceded that he might
be going too far in some direc-
tions and not far enough in 9TH
ers. But, he said he is convinced
that the best welfare of labor it
self required a conclusive study
of the whole related problem.
"oderate projections now may
prevent radical reatraints later,
Vandenberg warned. In the final
analysis the public interest is par
amount. There can be but one
sovereignty - the sovereignty of
government-in this country"
Vandenberg's first amendment
propose to broaden the Wagner
act so that employers, as we'll as
the workers, may demand an elec-
ton under the direction of the
national labor relations board to
determine majority rule for the
purpose of establishing collective
bargaining representatives. 1t

repeated elections at the option

they refused an offer from one for eign government--which they will not name-and took less lucrative jobs with a new organization, the Washington Institute of Technol- ogy.
 The Institute projected a new idea in the relation between sci- ence and its application for human betterment-it employed men to work on pure science, leaving the mass production of instruments and devices they perfected to manufac- turing organizations.
 One of the first of these is the blind landing device.

 Both men have much to their credit in improving air navigation. While in government service Da- vies discovered the multiple beam" effect in the radio range beacons, a phenomenon which in mountain ous country resulted in the pro- jection of several false beams in addition to the true one and which is believed to have been the cause of several fatal accidents.
 Dr. Rear is cerdited with perfect ing an antenna system for the ra- dio range beacons which made them useful for the first time at night. Previous to his work they were useless after dark because of night effect" a fading due to changes in layers of air high above the earth which reflect radio waves back to the ground.

 MT.

Red and white fox are the principal skins coming in, he said, with mink running next and scat tered lots of other furs being caught, all of good quality.

FOR BLIND LANDINGS
By STEPHEN J. McDONOUGH Assc siated Press Science Writer

WASHINGTON, March l6-What many radio engineers hold is the answer to the problem of safe blind landings for aircraft has been de- veloped by two young scientists, who turned down an offer from a foreign government after the Unit ed States dismissed them.
 The instrument, perfected by Dr. Frank G Rear and Conner L. Da- vies, enables pilot to slide his plane down a curved glide path from height of 5000 feet to a smooth contact with the ground. It may go far, the inventors be- lieve, oward avoiding accidents near airports such as those which have occurred recently.
 Simple to Follow
 Following it in fair weather or foul is comparatively simple job of maneuvering the craft until two instrument needles are squarely crossed, then holding them in that position.
 Development of the device be- came possible when the two men discovered how to project radio waves in a pencil-like beam curving upward from a point on the airport runway.
 Hit By Economy Act When the economy act of 1888 came along Rear and Davies were hard at work in the radio labora- tories of the National Bureau of Standards and had brought the in- strument to the point of testing it in flight. A few days later they found themselves on the sidewalk
