we'll as their more officially
important elders turned out en-
mass yesterday for the 18th
annual Virginia Gold Cup in

occupational disease of many
this morning!
Festivities centering around
the four legged beasts lasted for
a marathonlike length of time

not-so-small hours this am.
These gatherings included every
type of party from a brunch to
q glamorous hunt ball.
The racing event took place as
usual at Broadview, the beauti-
full estate of Pete Vogel and the
gold cup ball was at the Springs
Field Club, recently acquired by
the young Bill Doellers.
Busy Week End
To get to the country on time
yesterday was quite a chore for
many since there were two big
dances in town Friday night, one
given by a group of eligible
bachelors and the other by the
Arthur Middleton Hills. How
ever from the looks of things,
light hearts and dancing feet
were still going strong.
Miss Frederick Sterling,
daughter of the former United
States Minister to Sweden, Fred
erick A. Sterling, got her
guests off to a wholesome start
by having a brunch at her
fathers Georgetown residence.
The caravan" then left for Vir-
GINA without a worry about
lunch.
Among this attractive post
debutante'S guests were Miss
Louise Cahill, Gus Valerina, 1t.
Newman Carter, U. S. A; Miss
latina Sherman, 1t. Carroll
Carter, U. A. A. F.; Miss Janet

port Association.

Wright brothers accomplished
probably "the greatest feat of
the century," by demonstrating
with all their energy, technical
knowledge and skill that men
could fly be means of a powered
airplane. He expressed the faith
that aviation is destined to i'm
prove, rather than disturb, in
ternational relations.

its present development and pos
sibly its very existence, to two

a relief airlift for Holland was
set in motion from this side of

after first word of the flood dis
aster reached here.
These and other exploits for
the alienation of human suffer-

commercial air service to cement
ties of friendship and under
standing among nations, Mr.. Nc
Gregor continued.

gigantic strides made by the avi-
alton industry in the last half

made by one country alone. De-
spite our pride in the achieve

erS, we are all quick to recog-
nize the magnificent contribu-
tions made by the genius and
courage of men in other lands"

Commerce Secretary Weeks
told group of visiting aviation
pioneers here last night that the
s:rplane's power to improve
world commerce is far greater
than its destructive force in war.
He reaSserted his faith in the
peaceful intentions of free ma
tons and declared:
1.-The airplane continues to be
one of the most important fac
tors in our current world-an in
strument of peaceful commerce
Of weapon of defense or desc
lation.
"The near-sighted may bewail
that, in an age of peril, the air.
plane shrinkS the map and ex-
poses distant havens to swift
attack and its wake of deStruc-
ton.
Such lack of vision has ap-
peared before in history. The
advent of sail. steam and gaso-
line also reused regrets among
those with limited points of
view and little faith"
The secretary spoke before a
distinguished group of air pio-
neers assembled from the United
States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil,
England, France, Germany, Bel

Nationwide Alert
Issued 10 Police on
Store Bandits Here

Washington police plastereC
the country with lookout notices
on three masked bandits who
looted safes in the downtown
Goldenberg store early yester-
day and escaped with $1,000.
The trio bound and gagged
two watchmen after forcing
them to help tour the patrol
boxes in the big store to prevent
a burglar alarm from showing at
American District Telegraph
headquarters.
About the only clue a special
squad of police had today was
that the loot included $4,000 in
packaged quarters and that dis
posal of such an amount might
be difficult.
The bandits, after entering a
walk-in vault in the basement
of the store, overlooked the
stores full payroll. They also
left stacks of bags containing
small change.
