the last two years he has been

Capt. Merrill figures he's the

Tropical Storm
Over Atlantic

MIAMI, Fla, Oct. 8 (AP) -
Tropical storm Frances, small
and disorganized after her
brush with mountains of the
Dominican Republic, may pick
up new strength in the Atlantic.
The possibility that she will
ever affect the United States is
remote, however.
The Miami Weather Bureau
predicted today that the storm
would curve to a north-north-
westerly course tonight, with
nothing in her forward path
but open water Of the Atlantic
Ocean.
An advisory at noon (EDTO
placed the storm center las
miles southeast of Turks Island
and 800 miles southeast of
Miami.
Never a dangerous storm,
Frances highest winds were so
miles an hour in squalls. She
was moving toward the north
west at IL miles an hour but
is expected to swing more to
the north within IL hours.
There is some chance of in
classification and an increase
in the size of the storm, the
Weather Bureau said, but this
was the concern only of ships
at sea.
Frances deluged Puerto Rico
with ram ranging up to 9.85
inches as she passed south of
that country. then moved
through the mountainous east
ern part of the Dominican Re-
public into the Atlantic.

AIRLINE SENDS $4,000
Stranded Irish to Fly Home

SHANNON, Ireland, Oct. 8
(AP). - Shannon Airport's SO
stranded Irish-American tour
lists got a $4,000 word of cheer
today. The arrival of a Los
Angeles bank draft for that
amount cleared the way for
their return home-seven days
late.
President Airlines sent the
money to pay landing fees aid
fuel bills piled up on the air
liner chartered by the group.
The plane was scheduled to fly
them home last Wednesday.
Meanwhile. SO touring
Americans were stranded at
Gatwick airport in London
when another President Air
liner expected to take them
home to California failed to
appear. They were members of
the Los Angeles British-Ameri-
can Club. had just completed a
four-week vacation in the
United Kingdom.
c. F. Beard, a booking agent
representing President Airlines,
said he believed the line had
only two airliners in service at
the monochrome preparing to
take the IriSh-A orleans
aboard at Shannon and the
other in New York.
Airport officials said the craft
at Shannon needed only an
inspection before 1t could be
cleared for departure. Passen-
gers were told it would prob
ably take off tonight.
Then another storm blew up
to pour a little more rain on
the dampened spirits of the
tourists. /
A United States Embassy
official arrived from Dublin
and passed out $50 a head this
morning to United States citi-
zens in the group who had run

Merrill, 67,Winding Up
Al Years of Plotting

NEW YORK, Oct. 3 (AP).-
Capt. Dick Merrill. one of the
last of the oldtime flyers. ends
a 41-year career of commercial
plotting today. He isn't giving
up flying, though.
I'D like to fly until I'm co."
said the veteran pilot, who once
filled his plane full of ping
pong balls for a historic two
way hop over the Atlantic-so
it would float if it wouldn't fly.
Il get a terrific kick out of
it." he added. Il can pass the
physical examination for a
license just as well as ever, and
I expect to spend much more
time in the air."
At 81, Capt. Merrill, trim.
erect and tanned, has put in
some $1,000 hours aloft and has
flown an estimated 8 million
miles. He figures he may hold
the record for any pilot in the
world, but if not, he's among
the top three or four.
Flew Ocean Round Trip
1t was in 1886 that Capt.
Merrill flew singer Harry Rich
man across the Atlantic and
back in a single-engine plane
loaded with ping pong balls.
He said it was the first Atlantic
round-trip by plane.
In 1887, he made another
