More Appointments to
West Point and An
napoIis Urged

A. complaint that the District
of Columbia is not getting a fair
amount of appointments to West
Point and the Naval Academy
was made to Congress today.
Senator Robert r. Reynolds
Cd, of North Carolina, held q
public hearing on behalf of the
Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee and is preparing a report on
the question to the full COM
mittee.
. Group Is Heard
A group of citizens, including
L. A. Carruthers, president of the
Forest Hill Citizens Association;
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, secretary
of the same association; Col. Wal
lace M. Craigie, head Of the high
school cadet corps; Capt. Patrick
H. Tansey, representing the Dis
trict Commissioners, and numer-
Gus others argued for more ap-
pointmentS.
It was stated that the District
with a greater population than IL
States gets only nine appointments
to the two schools, while no State
gets less than 81, and few get
as high as %.
Cite Examples
A concrete example of it was the
State of New Hampshire with a
465, 900 population in 1880 and %
appointments, IL in West Point
and 16 in the Naval Academy. The
same year the District with a popu-
lation of 100000 had only nine
appointments, five in West Point
and four in the Naval Academy.
Today. with the sudden increase
in District population to an eStl-
mate of $4,000, the difference is
more marked. At the conclusion
of the meeting, Senator Reynolds
said that he was requesting these
specific statistics supporting the
contention furnished the commit
tee and If the inequality was
borne out he would recommend
that more appointments be al
loted.

RESUME HOP
OVER IRAN
Sandstorm in Desert
Forces Them to
High Altitude

BASRAH, Iraq, Feb. 18 q.N.SO.
Flying above a desert sandstorm,
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
bergh landed here from Rutbah
Wells at 1915 p. m.
They made the 800 miles to
this port on the lower Euphrates
River from their emergency over
night stopping place in six hours.
The flying couple left a short
while later for Bahrein on the
Persian gulf.
The fliers passed over Rutbah
Wells with the air moderately
clear. Two hours later the plane
was hemmed in by dust.
Colonel Lndbergh'S decision to
turn back $50 miles to Rutbah,
instead of going on to Bagdad,
and his skill in finding the way to
the tiny oaStk we're warmly praised
by aviators familiar with the
desert.
His departure today, although
the storm was still raging, was
regarded as equally courageous.

SANDER SUIT
STIRS RIVIERA

CANNES, France, Feb. 18
GN.SO.-Winter society along the
Riviera had its biggest sensation
since the arrival here of Mrs. Wal
lis Simpson when news spread
via tea-cup telegram today that
two other famous American-born
perSonages had come to grips in
a bitter SANDER suit.
Lord Auckland, sportsman, who
left the United States in 1917 to
assume his title, brought action
against the very rich and thrice
married Mrs. Arthur Wooley-Hart
for 100000 francs damages.
When a group of society blue
bloods were thinking of asking
Lord Auckland to a dinner party,
according to his Lordship'S
charges, Mrs. Wooley-Hart alleg-
edly referred to the Baron as a
fortune hunter.
"Well fight the case to the
highest courts" challenged Mr..
and Mrs. Wooley- Hart, vehement
ly denying the SANDER charge.
Wooley-Hart, owner of rich Welsh
coal fields and head of half a
dozen great mining corporations,
explained that somebody else
made the remark about Lord
Auckland.
Mrs. Wooley-Hart won the first
brush. Lord Auckland asked the
GraSse Tribunal for restraining
injunction to keep the defendant
in France.
She sailed, however, for Ber-
muda on the Rex, and Lord Auck-
land withdrew his application for
the injunction.

upon my mind deeply at the

Dispatches from Portland, Ore,
told of the newest vengeance of
the Hope diamond visited upon
May Yohe. Today, she is held

Friends of Mrs. Mclean here
have a theory which they say ex

MADRID, Feb. Ii Q.NS).-A
revitalized radical arm, strongly
attacking at two points southeast
of Madrid, today crushed a fort
nights rebel campaign to garrotte
the capital.
Insurgents retaliated with two
night air raids, killing at least II,
wounding 60, and starting a score
Of fires.
Another loyalist attack in West
Park, in northwestern Madrid, was
turned back, according to rebel re-
ports.
One Of the most furious and
costly battles of the civil war
checked the insurgent drive to cut
off the Valencia highway. Over
the cold plateau and through the
gullies of the Jarama River have
after wave of radicals rolled from
Arganda and Perales.
Call ReinforcementS
The shock Of the loyalist on
slaught brought an emergency call
for rebel reinforcements. They
counter.attacked, but the loyalists
held, following up with another as.
sault.
A Madrid communique said:
"Loyalist troops attacked sue
ceSsfully in the Jarama River
sector. Our lines were cOnSid-
erably advanced.
"The enemy counter.attacked,
but was repulsed with heavy
losses after calling up reserves.
Government troops are now
consolidating their positions"
An insurgent salient remains.
however, perilously close to the
Valencia road at Vaciamadrid,
and a communique issued at Sala-
manca asserted that the insur.
gents are continuing to advance.
1t said:
"The nationalistS repulSed an
attack in the West Park and
dispersed a government often
sive near Maranosa, capturing
. two tanks. The advance east Of
the Jarama River is con-
tinuing."
Planes in Night Raid
Ten planes roared over Madrid
at 10 p. m. in the first raid, heav-
lily bombing the outskirts.
The attack was only the prelude
: for a midnight swoop of Is big
bombers, which headed straight
for the center of the city. The
great Pacifico Building was among
many in the heart of Madrid that
was set afire, sending a high glow
over tht capital. The Belgian EN-
bassy was damaged by "dud."
The General Motors Building
was also hit by big bomb.
Not even the So-called neutral
zone" the Salamanca quarter in
Northeastern Madrid, crowded
with refugees, was spared by the
bombers. The raid was the first
over Madrid since January 6.
Horrors of the evacuation of
Malaga following its capture by
the insurgents were related at
Valencia today by DR.. Norman
