Bar Censures LAWYER
On Hutton Case Role
Ey the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 17.-William M
Mitchell, solicitor, was censured yes
terday by the disciplinary committee
Of the Law Society for his part in
the controversy which led last sum-
mer to the separation of the former
Barbara Hutton and Count Court
Haugwitz- z-Reventlow.'
The committee upheld a charge
by the count that Mr.. Mitchell had
been his attorney as we'll as the
countesses' at the time of an inter-
view in France last June between
Mr.. Mitchell and the count which
later figured prominently in the case.
MIR. Mitchell declared that during
that talk he was under the impress
sion the count had engaged a new
solicitor and no longer regarded him
as his attorney.
The committee held Mr.. Mitchell
deserving Of grave censure" but
said his action did not amount to
professional misconduct. The society
corresponds to the Bar Association
In the United States.
During the interview in France
the count was alleged to have made
threats against his wife, Woolworth
heiress, and a London society gen.
tleman." These threats figured in
sensational police court hearings in
London in which the countess
charged her husband with putting
her in fear of her life and in which
Mr.. Mitchell was the chief witness
against the count.
Later the countess dismissed the
charge and formal separation was
arranged.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-Dr. Hjalmar
Schacht, German Reichbank presi-
dent, went home to Berlin today
amid indications he had found little
but frigidity toward a plan to ex-
change German Jews for foreign
funds.
Informed sources put considerable
stress on the German EIhbassy's
anxiety" to deny on the day of
DR.. Schacht's departure that he
came here to ask Britain for any,
thing.
Nevertheless it was known that
ne conferred with George Rublee,
permanent director of the inter-
governmental committee for refu-
gees formed at the Evian-Les-8ains
conference last Summer, and Earl
Winterton, British chairman on the
committee, on the Jewish question.
1t also was known that he con-
ferred with Oliver Stanley, presi-
dent Of the board of trade, on the
dangers of a trade war. Britain
had indicated her business men will
face financial support to fight Ger
man inroads on British trade in
southeastern Europe if they need it.
Montagu Norman, governor of the
Bank Of England, saw Schacht of

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Wilma
Baard, the barge captains daugh-
ter, has lines like Venus and eyes
like Benda mask.
She has a heart-shaped face
and the breathlessness of a 1OO-to-1 l
shot ticket holder as the ponies
pound into the home stretch.
The barge captains daughter is
going to have her debut next Thurs
day at one Of those roistering night
clubs in the East SOS. Just five
days later the darling of New York S
"40O''-the so-called glamour girl
No. will be presented to society
at the Ritz-Carlton.
The men in white ties who are
coming to Wilma's party are in
vited to pay their own freight.
Dutch treat" the cards say.
The debut of Brenda Diana Duff
Frazier, whose elfin face has ap-
peared in all those picture maya
zines OF late, will cost-so rumor
says-no less than $4,000.
The press agent at the night club
calls 1t coincidence. Those who know
Peter Arno and McClelland Bar
clay, the artists, two of the spon-
sors of Wilma's introduction to cafe
society, say they are satirizing the
swanky social debuts which flood
New York about this time each
year.
Wilma, who does Photographic
modelling for a living and whose
face has graced newspaper and
magazine lads" from coast to coast.
is little hazy on the details of her
debut as yet.
Evening star., 1938-12-18
"A. P. Wirephoto.

Last Monday some one sent her
to club called the Chez Firehouse,
where man met her.
The man explained she was going
to be glamour girl. Fourteen
"uncles," including Arno and Bar
clay, would sponsor her, the man
said. Then he took her down to
the Pennsylvania station in a taxi,
patted her on the back and sent her
over to Hoboken, where she lives.
Since then a lot of people have
taken pictures of her and written
stories about her, and at least 20
times she has said yes, she lived
for three years on barge anchored
IN the Hudson River.
The invitations are out now, very
formally worded on expensive paper,
and they say that Mr.. Arno and
Mr.. Barclay and their associates are
going to present their niece" to
cafe society at supper dance and
will the recipients r. S. v. p?
Wilma says she wants to get
married and settle down and have
babies, and her "uncles" say that's
fine, because the party will help her
meet eligible men. Wilma's "un-
cles" say Brenda Frazier will meet
lot OF eligible men, too, because
that is the idea behind coming -out
parties.
Wilma's debut won't cost papa or
mama anything, and over in Ho-
boken they are putting the finish
ing touches on party dress which
her "uncles' are paying for.
The press agent at the Chez Fire
house undoubtedly will get a raise
in pay for all this.

BY ORYILLE WRIGHT.

DAYTON, Ohio, Dec. II R.-
After running the motor a few
minutes to heat 1t up, I released
the wire that held the machine to
the track. and the. machine started
forward in the wind.
Wilbur ran at the side of the ma
chine, holding the wing to balance
1t on the track. Unlike the start
on the 14th, made In a calm, the
machine, facing a 27-mile wind,
started very slowly.
Wilbur was able to stay with it
till it lifted from the track after
40-foot run 80"
The course Of the flight up and
down was exceedingly erratic, part
ly due to the irregularity of the air,
and partly to lack of experience in
handling this machine. The control
OF the front rudder was difficult on
account Of its being balanced too
near the center.
This gave it a tendency to turn
itself when started; so that it turned
too far on one side and then too
far on the other. AS a result the
machine would rise suddenly about
10 feet. and then as suddenly dart
for the ground. A sudden dart
when little over 100 feet from the
end Of the track, or a little over 120
feet from the point at which it rose
into the air, ended the flight.
AS the velocity of the wind was
over IS feet per second . the
fight was equivalent to a fight of
$40 feet made in calm air.
This flight lasted only IL seconds,
but it was nevertheless the first in
the history of the world in which
machine carrying a man had
raised itself by its own power into
the air in full flight, had sailed for
ward without reduction of speed,
and had finally landed at a point
as high as that from which it
started.

Fog Grounds Planes
Asfirst Flight
Is Celebrated
NotobIes Are on Hand
For Ceremonies at
Kill Devil Hill
By the Associated Press.


MANTEO, N. c., Dec. ia
murky fog pressed down on the
great sand dunes of the outer North
Carolina banks" today and kept
the big celebration of the Wright
brothers epochal flight on the
ground.
Nearly 200 naval and Coast Guard
planes were held earthbound, poised
and waiting to take part in the OBJ
servance at Kill Devil Hill, a re-
mote outpost, of mans first air
plane fight.
But to the cradle of aviation"
came notable figures from the world
OF aviation and scores of other spec
tators to help two grizzled veterans
OF the Coast Guard, who helped to
launch the Wrights' boxlike con-
traption IS years ago, celebrate the
day.
These old salts. Capts. John T.
Daniels and Adam Etheridge, now
retired, rendered a great wreath
which was hoisted to its place
beneath the names "Orville and
Wilbur Wright" carved on the great
white granite pylon at Kill Devil
Hill.
Frequent Weather Reports.
Poised and ready 100 miles away
were 1872 ships from two great naval
aircraft carriers, waiting word from
an observation ship that flew few
feet above the pylon, most of the
time hidden from the crowd below
From moment to moment the OBJ
servers radioed weather reports, but
it was too hazardous an undertak-
ing IN the pea-soup fog for the big
aerial fleet to fly here and pass in
xeview above the monument.
But here at the celebration were
the two men who had lugged the
hrst airplane to its starting point
and had showed it along the creased
Yail down which it went floundering
toward the beginning of an epoch.
Here, too, was the man who
telegraphed to an Indifferent and

Ceremonies Brief.
The ceremonies at the base of
the pylon were brief, as planned.
W. O. Saunders, Elizabeth City
editor and writer, presided on be-
half of Mr.. Drinkwater, who says
he just doesn't like presiding at
meetings.
Bradford During, president of the
Roanoke Island Historical Asso-
citation, presented on behalf of Dare
County and the State, the 5-foot
wreath. which was accepted by
Capt. Daniels and Capt. Etheridge.
They accepted it and passed it to
the hands of their grandsons, Billie
Cox and Jack Wilson, who lifted it
to its place against the shaft.
Among the onlookers were the
chief Of the Army Air Corps. the
commander general of the G. H. @.
Air Force, the commandant of the

mandant of the Naval Air Station
at Hampton Roads, Va, and other

Many Federal workers are sub.

criticism of prison-Service off

officials have no control, pri-
marily a rapid growth Of in

to better law enforcement and
to a lack of funds to employ

The AFGE leader said overtime
within the Government service is
"in one respect" more serious

as it is rarely compensated among
