 We do not believe that the re- cord is important enough to make any special effort to regain it. v Wood said in speaking for himself and Orlin Johnson, his veteran mechanic We must have a sea- worthy craft and not mere cockleshell that cannot be run in competition, he added.

NEWSpApERMEN DO NOT FAINT
 AT EXECUTIONS

By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb. 20. - Almost every day you read in the papers where charges of murder, after fair and impartial trial. are sustained against some offender of society, and he is executed. If this hap pens in New York State the con- victed is taken to Sing Sing and there put to death in the manner prescribed by law.
 Now the legal taking of human life is not pretty subject, and witnessing such an event is cer- tainly nothing to brag about. But most newspapermcn run into as signments like this at times, and when you do you take it in stride the same as fire or a political rally or anything else.
 think the effect of an experience like this is different from what most people imagine. Especially if your beat includes prison and you witt ness number of them. After the first time there usually isn't any impression at all. The man comes into the death chamber at a given time. You note how many seconds transpire before he is strapped in the chair. If he has anything to say you quote him. You always tell how many seconds elapse from the time he enters the cell to when the prison doctor officially declares this man is dead
 Of course, if the man is a head liner who has evoked nationwide interest the story is played up. But otherwise it is a few paragraphs
 Sometimes I read where the off cial witnesses faint or fall to the fall veteran newspapermen, l meari--and have read also of sen- timental chair-side confessions that had the witnesses in tears. | I never saw anything like that I am not proud of the fact that ] have seen perhaps dozen execu- tions, but then neither am I asham ed of it, because those experiences fell within the routine of early training in mid-western State and took them as did State fair. and football games.
 But I never saw a newspapermar faint. I never heard any sobbint chair-side confessions that had m, and my colleagues in tears. I rarel, was unable to raise the TOW miss. ing pilot.
