Shirley May France, red-eyed,
stringy-haired and tired, said to-
day she will have another try at
swimming the English Channel.
1T beat me yesterday, but I
am sure I can get across next
time" said the 17-year-old Som
:erset. Mass, schoolgirl.
She does not know when next
time" will be, but it may be in a
year or two.
Shirley May was pulled out of
the water yesterday afternoon
after she had tried courageously
for 1012 hours to swim from
France to England.
She was hauled out at a point
estimated to be miles from her
goal. very cold but deter
mined girl.
She protested violently at this.
Her shouts of mo. no." rang out
over the waves.
'I am very disappointed" Shir-
ley May said after a warm bath
and shampoo to take the grease
out of her hair. 1T was the first
five hours of the swim that
beat me-"
Those awful, chopping waves
washed the grease from my shoul-
ders and after that. of course, I
got cold quickly"
Water Was Very Cold.
The temperature of the water
never was above the low COS and
in some frigid currents might
have been under so degrees. her
handlers said.
II wonder what could have hap
pened if I had had a good day"
said Shirley May. Anyway. am
sure can do it,"
1.-THE child was just battered
beyond human endurance" said
her coach, Harry Boudakian.
"She could have gone on while
longer, but our first concern in
these hard tests is to see that
she suffers no harm"
Shirley May was taken from
the water on orders from her
father, J. Walter France, who
decided that she had endured
enough.
The girls immediate concern is
to get home as promptly as pos
sible. The school term at. Som
erset started yesterday.
But her manager, New York
Press Agent Ted Worner, hoped
it might be possible to squeeze In
a few days for flying visit to
Paris. That will be decided today.
There was a vivid red mark
across Shirley Mays forehead,
where the swimming goggles had
pressed. The goggles gave her
considerable trouble in the water.
The inside of her mouth was sore
from the salt water, but she was
uninjured.
The blond girl swimmer has be-
come the darling Of the little Do
yer street that faces on the sea.
Folks here like her and they
gathered by the dozens on the
little lawn In front Of her hotel.
New Friends Chased Away.
Her landlady kissed her, then
chased away new friends who said
they were sorry about Shirley
Mays disappointment. Her land
lady even locked the glass cabinet
where the telephone is kept so
that Shirley May would not be
disturbed by a lot Of conversation
her landlady regarded as unnec-
essary.
Meanwhile, q relay team Of six
Egyptians churned eastward across
the Channel early today IN IL
hours and II minutes and claimed
a new record.
The teams anchor man waded
ashore on the beach at st. Po, be-
tween Wissant and Blanc Nez.
near Cap Girls Nez. The leadof1
swimmer had entered the water
near Dover, England.
The existing English Channel
relay speed record is IL hours IS

down the frequency of substitutions. Last year.
you may remember. it was permissible to send
new boys into the game after every play, while

about to return to England, but
the building groups are at the be-

In greeting the two groups, Ad-

that their trip to see American in

He added that he wished Ameri-

Living Cost Index
Goes Up In June

Washington (LPA)-More fueI
for wage negotiations was seen in
the report that the consumers
price index of the Labor Dep
rose or percent between midMay
and mid-June, despite all the talk
about the way workers were "mak-
ing hay" because of spectacular
price cuts.
Evidently, the cuts were more
in such things as house furnishings
(and how many refrigerators can
a family buy at bargain prices p
and apparel.
Larger-t h n-seasonal increases
in meat prices accounted for some
of the index rise.
Another surprise was the boost
in fuel costs-which generally are
lower in summer than in winter
when coal and fuel oil are in great
er demand. Coal prices rose during
the month.
Rents rose, Of course, though
labor economists insist that the
way the price index figures are
gathered UNDERSTANDS the amount
of the rise. In the three-month per-
iod ending in June, the Labor
Dept found rents advanced in all
of the IL large cities surveyed.
