BAHIA, Brazil, Aug. 6. (UP)—
The DO-X, great German flying
boat, paused here today on its way
to New York from Rio De Janeiro.
The huge air liner carried a num-
ber of passengers on the northward
flight, including two women, Mrs.
Clara Adams and Mrs. .Dorit von
Clausbruck. Mrs. Adams was the
woman passenger on oho East to
West flight of the Graf Zeppelin,
German dirigible. Mrs. von Claus-
iWak was Miss Germany in the Rio
De Janeiro international beauty
contest last year.
Clarence H. (Dutch) Schlldhauer,
former United States Navy lieuten-
ant, piloted the DO-X on Its flight
from Rio De Janeiro. The machine
was refueled here for the flight t'o
Natal, on the northeast corner of
the South American Continent, with
a stop for fuel at Macelo.
Its Itinerary (hence includes a
flight by easy stages along the
northen coast to Para, at the mouth
of the Amazon, and northward over

AUSTIN, Aug 6. (UP)—The In-

Progressive Texans, Inc., should be
extended into a South-wide pro-
gram, Gov. Ross Sterling said to-
day. The governor said Industrial

market for surplus agricultural jjxp-
ducts and probably achieve far
mor* to solve the current economic
problem titan legislative enactmehts
to curtail production.”
Progressive Texans, Inc., was or-
ganized recently by the West Texas,

bers of Commerce. The organiza-
tion in sponsoring a five-year’ plan
for Texas industrial development. ,
“Progressive Texans can go far
in helping to solve our problem of
depression,” Gov. Sterling said.
“Going a step farther, such a pro-
gram taking In the cotton states
where marketing, distribution and
curtailment may be Studied as a
common problem, would, no doubt,
have corrective results which can-
not be hoped for by enactment of
laws. The failure of solving the
wheat, cotton and other over-pru-
du«ed products problem* by govern-
ment purchase has been demon-
strated very forcibly diirlng the
^Iqover administration.”
Most of the efforts to solve prob-
lems of overproduction have been
directed "toward curtailment, the
governor said, and not enough at-
tention is being devoted to improv-
ing markets for surplus production.

AUSTIN, Aug. 6. (UP)—Attorney
General James V. Allred announced
today that Federal Judge T. M.
Kennedy at Houston had perma-
nently dissovled the Injunction he
granted J. R. Handy, receiver of
the Red River Bridge Co., against
opening or use of the Denison fre’e
bridge.
Allred was advised of the disso-
lution by Judge Kennerly, in a tele-
gram received today. Judge Ken-
nerly heard arguments of the State
and the bridge company on the dis-
solution at Corpus Christi last week
The' State argued that it had giv-
en Handy a legal means of redress
for collection of disputed settlemqpt
contracts with the Highway Com-
mission, when the Legislature pass-
ed a bill agreeing that the State
might be sued by Handy.
The temporary injunction was
granted at Houston early in July.
The bridge has been in use since
July 25, when Judge Kennerly sus-
pended the Injunction after notlfi-
had

the coastline of Alaska.

NEW YORK. Aug. «. (UP)—
Connie Mack and his world cham-
pion Philadelphia Athletics invaded
Yankee stadium today for the open-
ing contest In their final triumph-
ant tour through American League
territory.
The Athletics, now boasting a 12-
game lead with only 50 contests re-
maining on their schedule, will play
17 giv,<.< during the tour which
closes Aug. 26. After that date
they will leave their home park
only three times before the J931
world series.
New York prepared for the Ath'
letics series yesterday by dividing
a double bill with the lowly Boston
Red Sox. The Yanks were turned
back in the first game, 5 to 1, be-
ing unable to solve the offerings of
Danny MacFayden, but came back
to win the second, 4 to 1, behind
the five-hit plchlng of young Gor-
don Rhodes. Ruth and Gehrig fea-
tured In the second game attack
with their respective 29th and 31et
home runs of the season.
Only one other gamer w>s played
in the American League with De-
troit outslugglng Cleveland, 11 to 8.
National League competition was
featured by the defeat of the league
leading St. Louis Cardinals, 5 to 4,
in the first game of a double head-
er with Pittsburgh. The Cards came
back to win the second tilt, 16 to 2,
and maintained their seven game
lead over their closest rivals, when
New York and Chicago exchanged
berths. New York dropped a 6 to
2 decision to Brooklyn and fell to
third place with the Cubs advanc-
ing to second on a 3 to 2 victory
over Cincinnati.
A single, an error and two suc-
cessive bases on balls gave Pitts-
burgh Its 12-lnning victory over St.
Louis. Flint Rhem who pitched
the first 11 Innings for the Cards,
was ejected for protesting Umpire
Quigley’s decision on the first pitch-
ed ball of the final inning and Jlni
Lindsay was the losing pitcher.
Ninth inning singles by Blair,
English and Barton gave the Chi-
cago Cubs their winning run and a
clean sweep in tbe four-game series
with Cincinnati. Leo Durocher,
Red shortstop, fumbled in the fifth
to end a string of 55 errorless
games during which he had accept-
ed 251'Ciiances.

boy In the matter of sportsmanship, ent If Rickard had lived.
When Schmeling returned to
Berlin after the bout he promptly
accused Stribling of sticking hla
thumb In his eye in the first round.
When Stribling returned to Ma-
con, Ga., he settled the argument
over whether Referee George Blake
was Justified In stopping the bout
In the 15 th and last round by say-
ing: “I could have stuck It out,
but I appreciate Blake’s position.
He did not wish to take any
chances on having me seriously
hurt.”
With only 14 seconds to go, there
is little doubt but that Stribling
could have lasted and prevented the
first knockout from being written
against him In the record books.
Actually, he hud to stay only five
seconds, asjie would have been giv-
en the benefit of a nine-count had
he gone down again. Schmeljng,
however, hit Stribling with Every-
thing he had after the Georgian got
up from the floor, but Was unable
to send him down.again.
Schmellng’s accusation against
Stribling wouldn't be so bad If it
had been the first time he had
pulled such a trick. After he fail-
ed to knock out 1’aolino Uzcudun,
Schmeling claimed he hurt his right
hand or ho would have finished the
Basque. He thoroughly whipped
Uzcudun, and didn’t need any kind
of alibi about his showing, yet he
came up wtih one anyway.
AUSTIN, Aug. 6. (UP)—The Tex-

Walter Beck of Fort Worth that
Harry F. Sinclair, Tulsa multi-mil-
lionaire oil man, knew in advance
of writing the content of Gov. Ross
Sterling’s “veto” message sent to
the Legislature Monday.
Beck offered late yesterday to
bring three persons who would
swear to the truth of his allegation,
and Rep. Bailey Hardy of Brecken-
ridge rose to ask that they be sum-
moned. Speaker Fred II. Minor re-
fused tn recognize "any member at
any time, for an investigation.”
Beck was opposing an amend-
ment to the Wagstaff conservation
bill which farbade consideration of
market demand in limiting produc-
tion, when he made his allegation.
He said he believed the governor
had been trapped and misled by his
enemies and misinformed by his
friends—that he believed the gov-
ernor wanted a “market demand”
MH, but had been advised he could
not get one passed, and then stole
a march on the Legislature by
sending it a message that he would
veto such a bill.
He said that Sinclair had pre-
dicted Saturday afternoon Governor
Sterling would send such a message
to the Legislature. Rep. Alfred

the House earlier yesterday that the
message was not written until Sun-

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. (UP)—If
Lefty Grove, that mighty man of
the Philadelphia Athletics, holds to
his dizzy pace throught the remain-
ing 50 games of the 1931 season he
will have achieved baseball Immor-
tality. What Is more, he will have
achieved It In the space of six years
which Is a good deal less than par.
It was in 1925 that Grove, a raw-
boned, gangling, Maryland moun-
taineer, first reported to Connie
and little else hp won ten games
Mick. Blessed with blinding speed
while losing 12. Since that time his
Improvement has been as steady as
the tides. In his second year Grove
broke even with 13-13. He reached
20 games In 1927 and never
has been below that mark since,
’winning 24 in 1928, 20 In 1929 and
28 last year.
Today, with the season but two-
thirds gone, Lefty has won 23 and
lost but two for the almost unbe-
lievable percentage of .91"8. It
sounds more like an outfielder’s av-
erage than that of a pitcher.
The highest modern percentage
is .872 turned in by Joe Wood of
the Red Sox In 1900.- Unless he
breaks an arm or loses his desire
to win. Grove should surpass

AKLAVIK, Northwest Terri-

Canadian Signals Radio to Edmon-

over the “top of the world” and
blotted out the Arctic sun today
as Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind-
bergh rested in preparation for
the next leg of their venturesome
7,000 mile vacation flight from
Washington to Tokio, Japan.
Tired after their dangerous,
record breaking flight of 1,115
miles direct from Baker Lake, the
Lindberghs splept most of yester-
day while pictuesque crowds of
Eskimos, Indians, traders, and trap-
pers milled about the village in
celebration.
The famous flier and his wife
planned to go from -here to Point
Barrow, 550 miles away and the
most northern point to be visited
on their trail blazing tour.
Lindbergh was uncertain when
they would take off. They could
set their departure for almost any
hour of the day or night because
there -Is only about an hour of
actual darkness out of every 24
in this country at this season of
the year.
Radio reports, however, indi-
cated storms were brewing and it
was raining hard over many sec-
tions of Alaska.
That the Lindberghs would not
find a cache of gasoline at Point
Barrow for the pontoon equipped
manoplane appeared certain. The
coast guard cutter Northland
which was dispatched to the Point
with gasoline, reported yesterday
it was ice bound.
The cutter radioed that in case
it could not reach the Point it
would wait for the Lindberghs in

DALLAS, Aug. 6. (UP)—Tho
bodies of Howard S. Crandell, 24,
and George James, 24, aviation stu-
dents killed yesterday when they
slipped away from school to try
stunt flying In a morgue here to-
day.
Plans were made to return the
two men to their Eastern homes.
Crandell, a student flyer, lived in
Greenwich, N. Y., James, his Insep-
arable companion, lived in New
York City.
Yesterday afternoon Crandell,
soon to be examined for a trans-
port pilot’s llcensei took a sky jaunt
alone near Love Field as a part of
his flying lesson. Instead of re-
turning his ship to the field he
landed in a meadow where he and
James apparently had planned a
rendezvous.
Despite flying school rules, Jam^
got in the piano with his pal and
together they soared away for a
flying exhibition of their own. A
farmer reported seeing the plane
“loped and roled.”
At 300 feet above the ground the
ship dived and crashed bottomside
up. Gasoline was thrown over the
plane and the two bodies burned
beyond recognition.
on Crandell’^ back were the
charred remains of his parachute.
He had chosen to remain with his
pal even in death.
The car in which C*xndc*l and
Janie* had motored from New York
was found near the point where the
student mechanic had entered'the
ship. Capt. W. F. Long, president
of the Dallas Aviation School, said
Crandell might have been teaching
his companion to fly, judging from
the position of the bodies in the
cockpit of the plane.
Both young men were unmarried.

seems to again be sparring, for time
jn an effort to hold off Sharkey as
tong as possible. Schmeling isn’t
iW ing to fight Sharkey urittl he has
to, and the German hopes to delay
the match until Sharkey will have
passed his peak.
, It is doubtful If Schmeling ever
will be a popular heavyweight
champion. Hla tactics do not at-

of the United States perhaps made
more enemies than he ever Will

SINTON, Texas, Aug. 6 (UP)
—Tom Conner, 30-year-old car-
penter, was held in jail here today
on charges of murder in the death
of Dorothy Doris Symons, 18-year-
old choir singer whose unclothed
body was found in a shallow
beach grave near Aransas Pass
last Saturday.
Conner declared from his cell
here he knew nothing more of the
mystery murder than that he had
walker to town with the girl
Thursday night from the Sidney
Fowler home. She had told him
she had a swimming date with
Newton Yardberry, at liberty un-
der $3,500 bond on charges of
murder.
“Miss Symons walked faster
than ordinary I thought,” Con-
ner said. Beyond that, he ob-
served nothihg unusual in the
girl’s actions. After escorting her
to town, he visited a pool room.
Conner declared hq could prove
his whereabouts all Hight.
Charges against the man were
filed by Alex Yardberry, father of
Newton. Justice of Peace Carl
Utterbach, in whose courb the
murder charge was filed, declared
he accepted it because evidence
presented was more incriminating
then than against Yardberry.
Meanwhile Sheriff Frank S.
Hunt declared he had uncovered
additional evidence against N®w"
ton Yardberry. He declined to
comment further.
Conner arrived in Aransas Pass
60 days ago from Oklahoma City.
He was employed on a construc-
tion project at Aransas Pass. At
Yardberry’s examining trial Con-
ner appeared as a witness. Tes-
timony brought out that he had
been living at the home of Mrs.
Eva Kelley, where he slept? on a
pallet. Mrs. Kelly is Mrs. Sidney
Fowler’s mother.
Ben D. Lee, sheriff of Nueces
county, declared yesterday that al-
though the Anansas Pass inquest
proved the girl’s body was found
in Nueces county, he would not
interfere with prosecution of the
case.

AUBURN, N. Y., (UP)—Old
Auburn prison “ain’t what it used
to be,” prisoners agreed as they
prepared to move into the newly
finished building.
Airy cells complete with wash-
bowls, toilets and running water,
a* well as radio connections,
awaited them*
No lead pipes will be available
to bash guards, however. Archi-
tects have designed the cells in
such a way that all plumbing is
concealed; the wash-bowls ar* even
set into the walls and the pipes
enclosed in steel. Each cell is
eight feet by ten feet.
Civilians employed in building
the new north wing daily look
down into the “crow’s nest” where
offenders against prison discipline
march in circles for their exercise.
Perched on the top of the south
wind, surrounded by high walls,
the only view available to the
marchers is the sky. At the end
of their prescribed “turkey strut”
they afe nerded back into the 280
new isolation cells. Here they
look across the hundred foot alley-
way toward the 426 “de luxe”
cells of their fellow prisoners. I
