ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1932 PRICE FIVE CENTS AVIATRIX TURNS OFF ~ SWITCH 10 PREVENT CREMATION OF SELF Craft Slides Off Runway At 60 Miles Per Hour and Crashes Into Ground EXASPERATED OVER MISHAP Had Planned Transcontinental Hop to Distribute Litera- ture For Hoover New York, Nov. 3.—(?)—Lightning| action saved Ruth Nichols, famous aviatrix, from probable death early Thursday when her plane smashed up on the take-off of a transconti- nental campaign flight for President Hoover. As the plane, freighted with a large supply of gasoline, shot down 2 3,000-foot runway at Floyd Ben- nett field, it skidded off at 60 miles an hour, went into a ground loop and buried its left wing in the ground. Quick as a flash, before the craft struck, Miss Nichols cut her switch, to prevent her gasoline from catching fire and burning the plane and her- self. Ambulances clanged to the scene as Miss Nichols stepped out of the badly damaged ship. “Are you hurt?” attendants cried. “No,” she said, smiling and trying to conceal her exasperation over the mishap. “Nothing can hurt such an old hand at this game as I am.” Carrying bales of campaign litera- ture to drop en route, Miss Nichols was to have sped non-stop to the west coast in an attempt to break the record of Amelia Earhart. She is one of the most prominent of the women fliers. In her career of thrills, she has smashed numerous women’s records, including transcon- tinental, distance and altitude marks. The “society girl aviator,” as she thas been called, also has been near death more than once. In June, 1931, she was injured’ in’ a crackup as she landed at St. John, N. B., for a contemplated transatlantic flight. She suffered a spine injury, and for months had to wear a steel corset. “SENATOR IN BARNES MUST FACE RECALL Supreme Court Affirms Decision That Aandahl Petitions Are Sufficient Fred G. Aandahl, Litchville, state senator from the 38th legislative dis- trict, must face a recall decision Nov. 8 as a result of a state supreme court decision. The- higher court affirmed the ver- dict of Judge R. G. McFarland in Barnes county district court which denied a restraining order to prevent the Barnes county auditor from call- ing the recall election. Petitions containing 706 names were filed with the county auditor asking a recall election. Counsel for George Riedman, who brought the action, al- Jeged 206 names on the petition were of persons not qualified to sign. If these were rejected there would be insufficient signatures to bring about the recall election, The issue involved in the case was pased on whether Article 33 of the state constitution means recall pe- titions must be signed only by elec- tors who have voted at the preceding election for governor, or whether it shall be construed to mean that the recall petitions may be signed by a number of electors equal to 30 per cent of the votes cast for governor. D. 8. Ritchie, representing Ried- man, argued before the court Wednes- day, with State’s Attorney Roy A. Ployhar arguing in bebalt of County itor J. M. Baillie. atthe court in a “minute order” af- firmed the lower court and will file its opinion on the case later. Being Put in Place The largest single piece of steel which will be used in the new capitol building will be in place by the end of this week, according to George Kandzie of Holabird and Root, archi- tects. ‘The girder, only 25 feet long but weighing 41 tons, will support the columns of the tower section of the pbuilding and is of extra-heavy de- sign for that reason. ‘The steel work on the building now is up to the 5th story and a brief per- jod of Indian summer will insure its early completion, Kandzie said. Meanwhile concrete workers are pour- ing the boiler-room walls and ‘the framing is being done preparatory to pouring the first floor slab. ‘Under favorable conditions, Kand- zie said, the contractors will pour about three floor slabs a week.

F. C. Would Like More Loan Demands Washington, Nov. 3.—(#)—Officlals lof the Reconstruction Finance Cor- Poration said Thursday the demand for loans from livestock feeders “is not as large as we would like to see it.” Both Gardner Cowles, Sr., a direc- tor, and Ford Hovey, chief of the ag- ricultural section of the corporation, so expressed themselves. “There is a very large corn crop,” Hovey said, “with both cattle and sheep selling cheaply.” “Corn probably is the cheapest it ever has been, selling in some in- stances for as low as 8 or 9 cents a bushel. “The Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration has money to finance sound , | feeder loans on cattle and cheep. . . We are really disappointed at not get- ting more applications.” Feeder loans, Cowles said, are re- garded by the board as one of the best and quickest ways of giving re- lef.

ABANDONMENT OF NEUTRALITY URGED Is Part of Premier Herriot’s Dis- armament Plan, It Is Re- | vealed in France i | Toulouse, France, Nov. 3.—(®)— Premier Edouard Herriot's new dis- armament plan calls for abandon- ment of the rights of neutrality by subscribing nations, it was disclosed Thursday as M. Herriot’s radical So- cialist party gathered to approve his foreign and other party policies. The convention is expected to give the disarmament project, part of the foreign policy, the. same overwhelm- ing endorsement the premier won in the chamber of deputies last week. It was revealed in connection with the abandonment of the neutrality idea that the disarmament scheme envisaged an anti-war pact with the United States. ‘The plan also envisages the creation of a general military staff to function in case of a threat to the peace of Europe. The staff would have a fixed number of trained soldiers at its dis- posal, assigned by the continental countries which approved the project. An official spokesman said the United States would not be asked to promise anything in advance,, but that the French hoped America would not interfere with the functioning of the European peace machinery. It was hoped the United. States would collaborate, or at least refrain from helping an aggressor—and the plan attempts to define an “aggressor na- tion.” Wheat Falls Fifth Time During Week Chicago, Nov. 3. — (®) — Wheat slumped down again Thursday for the fifth time in a week. Near the finish of trading here the December delivery sold at 41 7-8 cents a bushel, far below any price ever noted on the board of trade.. Other contracts also were down to record low depths. The only major market on which wheat is yet selling for 50 cents is Liverpool, where the December closed at 50 5-8 cents. Later months there are below the coveted half-dollar mark, Chicago wheat went begging for buyers when selling orders appeared and as the market dropped many holders of wheat were forced to sell to check their loss. Weakness of se- curities in New York also discouraged wheat traders. When trading ceased, wheat was 1 to 1 3-8 cents a bushel lower than at the finish Wednesday with the December future delivery at 42 1-8) The governor worked until bedtime | . bandits robbed the Gold From the top of her little cap A JAUNTY MODERN DIANA y to the tip of her high boots, Bette Davis of the screen approaches the ultimate in costumes and trappings for the modern duck huntress.

On the other hand, a spokesman of the government has said the Junker cabinet of Chancellor Franz Von Papen is convinced Hitler will fall 1,500,000 votes short of his for- mer 14,000,000. The Nazi chieftain brought his personal whirlwind campaign to a close Wednesday night with an ap- peal to 35,000 in the Sportspalast. He asked for the vote of the masses, and attacked Chancellor Von Papen as a representative of the “thin upper crust.” Herr Nahfstaengl, Hitler's press chief, followed him up Thursday with this statement: “In the last election we polled only 37 per cent of the vote but traveling all over the country with Hitler, and seeing how the masses have received him as a veritable Messiah, I am con- vinced we will strike a hard blow at Von Papen.
