by sunburn, wearing a crisp black
moustache over a flashing smile
Boone was getting ready at the
Imperial airport, warming up his
ship for the daily hop.
Really more interested in check
ing the motor than answering
questions, Boone flung replies over
his shoulder.
Transforming the kind of crazy
flying they did in the early days
with old war planes, is as differ
ent from modern flying as wrestling
is from wheeling a baby buggy
I've flown those old crates, and /
know.
Boone, although only 80, is a
veteran of II years flying, has
credit for $500 hours in the al,
which means roughly, flying
around 100000 miles. In case you
don't remember, 100000 miles trav-
cling will take you around the
globe over two dozen times, OF
enough to get more than dizzy.
Il got my share of stunt flying
in the movies" Boone said. Il had
several years of it, enough to know
all the angles, and that was enough.
About all we had to fly by in some
of those ships was the seat of our
pants!'
Editors note: In flyers lingo,
seat of the pants" flying is reli-
ance upon that nameless feel
that a skilled pilot has for his
ship
"GOt Everything
Nowadays" Boone continued,
we've got everything under the
sun for safe flying" He waved to-
ward the shining instrument board
of the trim Stinson monoplane
used for the Los Angeles run. This
ship cruises at 140 miles an hour,
carries 85 gallons of gasoline, or
a great deal more than enough for
complete roundtrip from Impe
rial to Los Angeles, carries radio
receiver and practically everything
else except hot and cold running
water.
1T used to be a hit and maybe
miss proposition when a pilot start
ed out for a oss-country hop, bit
it is different now, For example,
when leave Los Angeles every
afternoon at 4. 1 first call the
weather bureau for reports. In
cidentally, we get four separate re-
ports during the four hours actual
flying timeD Then 1 call the Ar

WILLIAMS WINS
WESTMORLAND
FIRE BODY JOB

WESTMORLAND, April Aloe
Williams, lone candidate for fire
board membership, carried the cleo
ton here Monday despite a brisk,
last-minute write-in campaign for
Constable Lester Cochran.
The successful candidate polled
94 votes while Cohrane garnered
81. Voting was listless and unevent-
full until late afternoon when the
write-in campaign instilled a note
of interest Cochran's term as city
fire board member expired prior to
the election but he did not announ-
ce himself a candidate.
Fire board members handle all
busines and equipment of the city
fire department and make all per-
Sonnel appointments. The fire dis
trict is separate from the munich
pal government.

cific violations of the constitution
by the government, began legal
action TO recover their eXpropyi-
ated S400.000.o00 properties
Attorneys for the United States.
British ana Dutch companies whose
holdings were confiscated under
President Lazaro Cardenas' de-
cree OF March 10, asked the second
federal district court to declare
the executive order unconstitution-
al.
Grounds for the petition, which
it generally was conceded has little
chance Of success, included:
J. That article 81 of the 1917
constitution provides for eXpropIi-
alton of lands and waters only.
and not of tools. plants. equipments,
etc
2. That the companies were de-
prived of their properties without
due process of law.
3. That the properties seized were
not specifically designated in ac-
cordance with the law. althougn
they were occupied by the govern

District Workers
Must Pay Job Tax

WASHINGTON, April 5. (UP)-
The internal revenue bureau ruled
today that persons employed by an
irrigation firm engaged solely in
furnishing water for agricultural
purposes were not exempt from the
provisions of the Social Security
Act. The bureau said that their
work did not constitute agricul-
tural labor, which is exempt from
Social Security taxes.

were attacked suddenly, without
any warning of impending danger.
The FromeS were taken into a
wilderness of mesquite and sage
brush. and there, six miles from
Van Horn and so far from the
nearest habitation that the most
piercing scream would have brought
no response. the robbers examined
their victims Instead of the wealth
they had anticipated, they discov-
ered that mother and daughter
had only SIPS between them.
At this point, Jackson believed,
the men used torture to force the
women to divulge where they had
hidden the money the men felt
sure they had.
The scientific evidence of an
autopsy showed that Mrs. Frome's
right hand was almost burned off,
that the knuckleS of both her
daughters hands were scared, that
both women had been struck re-
peatedly, that Miss Frome had
been stomped upon while lying
prone until her diaphragm collaps-
ed.
The autopsy showed that nei-
ther woman had been raped, which
ruled out a theory that the crime
had been one of sexual inspira-
tion.
One angle was puzzling. The muir
derers took Mrs Frome's diamond
ring, but left her wedding ring
and her diamond studded gold
watch. They took Miss Fromes
gold bracelet, but left her necklace
watch and her diamond ring. They
took the outer garments of both.

port my flying plane. I tell them
exactly what altitude 1 plan TO
flv en- route to Palm Springs and
how high 1 will be from them on
to Imperial Valley. This prevents
any possible conflictions with other
plane schedules
One regulation not so well known
Boone pointed out, is that attitudes
are determined according to the di .
reetion a plane is flying. Ships go
ing east or south must stick to
odd attitudes, such as 1000, 5000,
5000 feet. Even attitudes, 1000,
5000 are reserved for west and
north traffic.
Of all the air assignments flown
by Boone, which include over a
year of flying under varied condi-
tions as personal pilot to William
r. Hearst, newspaper owner, the
Los Angeles to Imperial Valley hop
is the easiest.
There is not a spot on the
whole run where I couldn't make
a safe landing. The country is open
and the San Gorgonio pass is only
2250 feet. go over it at 5000 feet
and come back at 4,000."
Boone, despite his long record
in the air, has never had a crackup.
As he explains it:
"a pilot gets into trouble when
he runs out of altitude and brains
at the same time, 1 won't say
word about my brains, but, brother,
1 really like altitude!"
