Flying Expert ShOWs
NeW Compass

Aviation experts discussed with
interest today a new radio COM
pass, designed for airplane use
and mounted inside the plane
cockpit, which was displayed here
by Col. Alexander P. de Seversky,
wartime Russian ace, on a visit to
the Washington Airport.
Colonel Seversky did not detail
the significance Of the new com
pass, which is his own invention.
His explanation that he was going
to Langley Field left no doubt of
its Importance in aviation.
Accompanying Colonel Seversky

CAPITAL WOMEN
ALL But SWOON
AT DOUC'S. GRIN
5000 Flock to Airport;
Kissing Gag Barred
By ELIZABETH OLDFKLD

~ A1AAAAA6A803S = ~ NAADA 4A@AAs~
Celebrities leave me cold, but
when Douglas Corrigan leaned
from the pilots window and
smiled at the airport today I shiv.
cred with the strangest feeling I
have felt in all my years Of news
paper reporting.
Five thousand women, pushing,
shouting and giggling in the mob
apparently experienced the same
feeling.
It's a funny feeling to describe.
I think 1t was q mixture Of awe
and alteration.
THAT CORRIGAN SMILE
Doug-all the women at the air.
port called him Douglas one Of
the most beautiful smiles I have
ever seen. 1t seemed like he was
smiling directly at me and I'm
sure every other woman at the
airport felt his smile was meant
only for her.
But there was a faraway look
in his eyes as he walked briskly
behind his police escort through
the crowd.
After he had gone I turned to
the middle-aged matron beside me.
WILMINGTON E1rET INC
"How did you feel when you
saw him?" asked her.
II don't know exactly how
felt" she whispered. Il had the
funniest feeling inside"
The great bulk of the crowd at
the airport was feminine and the
majority of the women were
either in their teens or approach
ing middle-age. The younger girls
jumped up and down and Squealed
when they saw Doug.
The newspaper photographers
pleaded with the committee to al
low them to make a picture OF
two pretty young girls kissing
Doug.
CALLED TOPS IN COURAGE
IF we let one woman get near
enough to kiss him we would be
n1obbed," the chairman Of the
ARRANGEMENTS committee said.
i Apparently just as impressed as
the naive little teen-age girls were
several well-known women filters.
Among them were 10 BusSe, Helen
McClosky, Helen Frigo and Clara
Adams.
II think Doug has more cour-
age than any other man today"
said one Of them. He is just a
grand, sweet boy"
j Doug is surprisingly small, but
the girls forgot all about tall.
dark and handsome escorts when
they saw his smile.
i It's a smile that does funny
things to a woman.

Has Speed

John Everhard, 19-year-old
Postal Telegraph messenger,
may not have read the IA
nous story of the Message
to Garcia" but he certainly
carried out the spirit Of that
famous story today when
Doug COrrigan landed here.
John, who lives at 716 Six
tenth st. S. E., had been as
signed to accompany a Times
photographer and rush pic
lures of COrrigan back to the
Times office. He took the
plates, med his way
through the dense crowd,
jumped on his bike and ped
aled through the heat with
his precious burden.
And John beat an official
motorcycle police who also
was designated TO rush pic
lures through, as web as an
other motorcycle messenger.
Congratulations, John, on
your speed!

Pilot Dunn took over the con-
trolls just before the plane
reached the field. He circled
once, then dropped in for q
perfect landing.
Sighting their hero sitting in
the control cockpit, the crowd
went wild. Police lines meant
nothing. They made a dash
forward and surrounded the
plane. COrrigan turned on
his famous smile and waved
his hands, the. walked back
through the cabin and ST. ID

surged around and autograph
