Corrigan Home Welcome May Be Brilliant Pageant

was not his prized, $900 one.
 They said he had never had a romance, seldom went to the movies, but that he had one favorite-he would break his neck'' to see a Shirley Temple picture.
 The friends suggested that Mayor F. H. LaGuardia have his commit tee on reception to distinguished guests take charge of the home coming welcome and that the com- mittee give him the works, such as the welcome for Col. Charles A. Lindbergh when 300 whistling watercraft were ganged in the har- Dor and Broadway was deluged with ticker tape during the parade to City Hall.
 Heads of several Irish societies wanted to sponsor the celebration. The question of getting him home was still raging here. The United States Lines invited him to use either the Manhattan or the Wash ington; the Advertising Club of New York cabled an offer to provide transportation for himself and plane from London, Antwerp or Rotterdam; Moran was willing to send boat especially for him. But the word from Ireland was that Corrigan had been supplied with $2,000 for radio broadcast there and might prefer to pay his own way back.
 The Newark Advertising club started a 5000 subscription fund to buy him new plane and re- ported that 1t had raised $l,000.

JOAN CRAWFORD
 TO DIVORCE TONE
Chorus Girl, Who Rose to Leading Lady, Breaks
 Up Second Marriage

Hollywood, July 20.-(UP)-Joan Crawford, the chorus girl who be- came one of Hollywood's suavest first ladies, ended still another "ideaP' movie marriage today by announcing her separation from Franchot Tone, her second husband. Miss Crawford, who once said she believed all actresses should be spin- sters, wouldn't answer the telephone at her Brentwood Hills mansion. Tone. son of a wealthy manufac- turer, a Cornell graduate, and a society man turned actor, had moved to hotel. The only word from them was contained in this formal statement issued by Metro Goldwyn- Mayer, the studio where they both arc under contract: We regret this action, but we believe it is the best way out for our future happi- ness"
 RumOr of Break
 For weeks there had been rumors that all was not well with the Tones. Miss Crawford denied them. So did Tone. They insisted that they may have had their quarrels, but that htey still were in love and their three-year-old marriage would last many more. Tones movie contract ends in November. He is expected to go to New York to appear on the stage, after which di- vorce proceedings probably will be

New York, July 20-(UP)-Doug- las Corrigan's friends, and they in- clude all the Irish, were trying to- day to arrange a "hero's homecom- ing" for him, with a water pageant in New York harbor and a ticker tape parade up Broadway.
 Offers of money, jobs, free rides home for himself and his plane, and radio and vaudeville contracts were accommodating by the score for the 31-year-old mechanic who flew to Ireland in a nine-year-old plane, with $15 in his pocket and without permission or passport.
 Eugene F. Moran, a good Irish man, head of a New York towing company, said "all he has to do is give the word and we'll send a ship over after him, if there's any ques- tion of his getting back"
 While Corrigan achieved fame, his $9O0 airplane achieved dignity. They called it "Corrigan's Clipper" now, instead of "Corrigan's crate" as it formerly had been known to air. port attendants from New York to California who had serviced it and watched it grow more venerable.
 His acquaintances, among whom he was the chief topic of converse tion, were recalling his past affairs, including his only crack-up. That was near Norfolk, Va, several years ago, when he made an emergency landing in pasture and trees sheared of both wings of his plane but he escaped unhurt. The plane

ALC0RN OATH IN
 CORRECT FORM
Attorney McDonough Files New Stipulation to That
 Effect Today

Attorney Thomas F. McDonough in a substituted stipulation of facts relative to the quo warranto meth- cd attack by Alderman Thomas P Kelly on the appointment of Spe- cial Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn in the local investigation, today ad- mitted that the proper oath of of- flee had been administered to MT Alcorn by Clerk George H. Freeman of superior court. The new stipu- lation, entered by MT. McDonough and Special Prosecutor Alcorn, will be forwarded immediately to Judge Inglis. The original stipulation of facts relative to the issue was handed to Judge Inglis last Friday for the purpose of avoiding the call ling of witnesses.
 Original Claim
 In the original stipulation no mention was made of the oath of office administered to MT. Alcorn although at the first hearings on the legal points of the question this point was vigorously argued by Attorney McDonough. No decision from Judge Inglis was expected fol several days on the quo warranto and the new stipulation may delay it even more. This delay will have no effect on the progress of the trial, however. Judge Inglis' deci. sion will undoubtedly be immediate. ly appealed to the supreme court ot errors.

 MONTANA COUNT
Ardent New Dealer Fight ing Combination of Gov.,
 Senator Burton Wheeler

Helena, Mont, July 2O-(UP) - Rep. Jerry L. O'Connell, ardent New Dealer, increased his lead to- day and apparently was headed for Democratic renomination in the primary election held yesterday.
 Rep. James F. O'Connor, also seeking renomination on the Dem- ocratic ticket, likewise held com fortable lead in early tabulations.
 Returns from POS out of 413 pre- cincts in O'Connells congressional district, gave: O'Connell 19,259, Payne Templeton 14,266, T. J. Col lins 2,884, Maggie Smith Hathaway 1909, E. c. Burris BOA.
 Templeton, endorsed by Gov. Roy E. Ayers, has been a critic of some New Deal policies, including Pres ident Roosevelt's proposal to reor- ganiZe the supreme court. Burton c. Wheeler, whose name was linked with that of Templeton although the senator said he was supporting no candidate, led the senate fight on the supreme court bill.

ELEVEN KILLED
 BY AN EXPLOSION
45O Pounds of Dynamite Were Blown Up Today
 at Baltimore

Baltimore, July 20.-(UP)-Eleven men were killed and nine injured today when 450 pounds of dynamite exploded in chamber hewn out of solid rock in water tunnel 65 feet underground. The men were employed on Public Works Ad- ministration project. The dead are all Negroes. Three of the nine in- jured were in a critical condition. The blast shook the suburban Ham, ilton section where the project is located. Huge crowds immediately collected around two shafts enter ing the tunnel and hampered res- cue crews attempting to reach the scene of the explosion.
 Of the Il men listed as dead, one was missing. Rescue workers beleived he had been closest to the dynamite and was blown to bits. The explosion occurred a few min- utes after the workmen had unload ed the dynamite from a cart in the chamber far below the earth. While the IA men in the labor gang stood over the stacked sticks of explo- sive, 1t suddenly was detonated. Only three in the group escaped alive, and they were in critical condition. It was believed they were just outside the door entering the chamber.

PARIS WELCOMES
 BRITISH ROYALTY
Hundreds of Thousands Cheer King George, His
 Queen on Their Visit
By RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent

Paris, July 20-UP)-The ancient municipality of Paris gave its off, cial welcome to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain today and hundreds of thousands of Parisians cheered themselves hoarse in their eagerness to make it a welcome unmatched in the city's history.
 Half million persons lined the Champs Elysees this morning when the king drove by on the way to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where he placed a wreath, and their cheers were matched by those of hundreds of thousands more when the royal couple, accompanied by President Albert LeBrun, went to the Hotel De Ville-the city hall-to receive the city's official welcome.
 King George responded in French to welcoming speeches by Gaston Le Provost De Launay, president of the municipal council, and Achille Vil- ley, prefect of the department of the Seine.

Hanover, N. H., July 20.-(UP)- Many so-called meteors found in New England are not meteors at all Drs. J. w. Goldthwait and F. O. Kruger of Dartmouth colleges ge- ology department reported to the Geological Society of America to- day.
 They described heavy, odd-shaped boulders picked up in farm fields as remains of ancient rocks that de- capped before or during the pleisto- cene or ice age and later were caught up by scuthward-movine ice sheet to be scattered through glacial drift to resting places not far from their sources.

flee employe, Republican Alderman Thomas F. Zane, was turned back to the controller with the public works commissioners rebuffing the controllers office charge of "exces- sive rates", in some instances. The schedule of the street department truck hire rates was recommended to consideration of the finance board, to whom the controller had voiced complaint last week.
 Corp. Counsel Consulted
 Corporation Counsel Charles S. O'Conner's consideration was sought for outlining of the contracts of the street department with truck owners. Supt. Fleming earlier had requested transfer of $8,000 in the department and the controllers of- flee had taken this figure as the amount necessary for truck hire.
 The street department official re- ported to the board last night that consideration of his request would have shown that less than half of this amount was for hiring trucks, most of it for payment of past due bills for truck hire. He said that he had made out the request for the transfer on the suggestion of James P. Purcell, another employe in the controllers office.
 Mistaken Understanding
 Taking the $8,000 figure as being the amount intended for truck hire, the controller and Alderman Bane had recommended at the recent meetings of the board of aldermen and the finance board that this amount be used ito buy new trucks" Agitation on this mistaken under standing of the items background finally reached the public works

STATE SENATOR
 TAKES HIS LIFE
Julius Berg of New York Had Been Called in By
 Grand Jury.

New York, July 20-(UP)-State Sen. Julius Berg, under subpoena to appear before the grand jury in- vestigating the taxicab rackets, shot and killed himself today in his law office.
 District Attorney Thomas E.. Dewey ordered the subpoena served last week and shortly thereafter Berg entered the Royal hospital, a private institution in the Bronx. Physicians there said he was being treated for heart ailment.
 The body was found by Murray Green, secretary to the legislator, on couch in a private office. There were two notes. One con- tained his biography and the other, addressed ito the press" read:
 T have been very sickly. I have been pretty good to you boys. Give me a break"
 Berg was the second legislator ac- tive in taxicab law making to be drawn into the Dewey inquiry. Three weeks ago Assemblyman Ed ward E. Moran, Jr, of Brooklyn, was indicted on charges of accept ing bribes in connection with taxi cab legislation.
 One-Legged Veteran
 Berg, 8 one-legged war veteran. was chairman of the motor vehicle committee of the senate. He ham, dled much of the legislation spon- sored in the assembly by Assembly, man Edward s. Moran, Jr., who was three weeks ago charged with extortion and accepting illegal fees as a legislator.
 Last night Berg went to his of- flee and telephoned his wife Rose, at their Belle Harbor, Long Island, summer home. She arrived at 1 a.

FIRST APPEAL ON RULING OF
 JUDGE INGL|S Simon J. Alderman of New Haven Takes Case to
 Supreme Court MINUTES OF GRAND
 JURY IN QUESTION High Court Will Not Sit Until nOctober-But Ar- raignment Will Stand

Initial supreme court &C., ton pertaining to the ques- tion of legality of the Water bury Extraordinary Grand Jury and it's program was started yesterday afternoon when Simon J. Alderman, New Haven auditor, filed an appeal from the\ order of Judge Ernest A. Inglis that the minutes of the grand jury's investigations should remain secret.
 Alderman is one of the 27 men charged by the jury and Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn with the crime of defrauding the City of Waterbury of more than $1,0O0, ,000. He will be arraigned before Judge Inglis on the charge tomorrow morning, along with g others.
 Arraignments Stand
 The appeal will have no postpon- ing effect on the Thursday arraign- ment, but reliable sources stated that the trial, tentatively set for late September, might be delayed pend- ing the decision. Alderman, a member of the auditing firm, Alder man & Shepatin, would like to have tho high court rule on eight speci- fife questions directly connected with the ruling of Judge Inglis that the minutes of the jury must ever remain secret. The appeal was filed yesterday afternoon at one minute before o'clock.
 Fact Finding Request
 A request for a fact-finding has also been filed by Attorney George Crawford in the interest of MT. AL derman. In connection with this re- quest he has submitted a draft find- ing. To this MT. Alcorn is ex- pected to file counter finding and from both. Judge Inglis will extract his fact finding, which will be submitted to the high court. The question of whether the ruling on the minutes of the grand jury is final judgment and appealable has arisen. Judge Inglis has not de- eide this question, however, as it comes within the province of the supreme court. It is expected that Special Prosecutor Alcorn will file a motion to erase the appeal, and that this motion will be argued be- fore the superme court to determine If there are proper grounds for the appeal. This will undoubtedly be done before the actual appeal is argued.

Douglas Corrigan Has ManyOhers Sent Him
Says He Hasn't Much Use for Money-To Remain in Ireland for Present-No Offers Considered
 Until His Return
BY CHARLES J. MCDONNELL United Press Staff C0rrespOndent)
(NEA Rddiophoto)

Dublin, July 20- UP) - Douglas Corrigan took another look at his nine-year-o "crate" today and laughingly revealed that he had another possession which he trea- sured almost as much.
 It formerly was owned by another Douglas-Douglas Fairbanks, whose feats in the movies thrilled the Cal- Fifornia wrong direction" flyer when he sold newspapers years ago on the streets of Los Angeles. It was a dime-price of newspaper plus a tip-which Fairbanks once gave Corrigan.
 With lucrative offers pouring in from all parts of the world-a chance in the movies, possibly a trip around the world, lectures and ether stunts-the 31-year-old unem- ployed airplane mechanic said he did not have much use for money. He had $15 in his pocket when he arrived here from New York on his "sneak" solo hop.
 Not Interested In Money
 "I'm not interested in money" he said. T can get sufficient fun and satisfaction from life without it.
 T never really had much money and for years sold newspapers in Los Angeles. One of my most trea- sured possessions is dime which Douglas Fairbanks gave me for a paper.
 "I'm out of a job right now, but I always seem to get along all right"
 Irish government authorities, cheering Corrigan's 6,000-mile "mis- take" flight, gave him back his $900 plane after he promised not to at- tempt to fly it back across the At- lantic.
 It was believed that Corrigan would remain in Ireland and enjoy his vacation" for about 8 week before sailing back home with his Spirit of $69.6O" safely aboard. It was not certain whether it would have to be dismantled.
 Laughs Heartily
 Corrigan laughed heartily about of his experimental li- cense (his pilots license was not
