By the Associated Press. i NEW YORK, August 28.—New! York's harried “finest” today had turned from guarding the now quiet bler of Rudolph Valentino to protect- ing Gertrude Ederle of Channel-swim- ming fame from the outbursts of her admirers. The butcher's daughter, who was first of her sex to swim from France . to England, today wants to Kknow “what else there is to do or say.” Vaudeville, swimming and motion picture offers that aggregate nea! $1,000,000 may help her to decide what to do next, hut carly today she felt that she had said enough about the “wonderful time” she had In accept- ing an unroarious welcoma that lasted through most of the night. Even Pigeons Welcome “Trudy.” Even the pigeons at the Public Li brary joined in welcoming ““our Trudy™ back to her own home town. When her car, escorted by pouiice, moving through crowds that were held back by more policemen, reached Forty-sec- ond street at Fifth avenue, the birds swooped down, circled overhead and flew back to their perches on the big stone building. i An escort of 42 mounted and motor cycle police and patroimen started the march uptown from the Battery with her when she landed from the Beren- garia, and others attempted to keep order in the surging throngs that yelled, threw ticker pe and fought for a glimpse of today’s idol. oreM officers were added. 100 at a clip, when the crowd hecame uncon troliable at City Hall, where she was officially welcomed by Maver Walker ‘When she started to leave the build ing with a screll presented by the mayor, a mass of 10.000 persons push- ed forward, and she was saved from being trampled by a patrolman, who picked her up and 1an back into the building with her.

Dudley Fleld Malone, one of the welcoming committee, revealed that Miss Ederle had been offered con- tracts to more than $900,000, the two largest being for $100,000 each.

RODGERS PAGF ARTCLE WS LAS Recount of Famed Sea Ad- venture Appears in Septem- ber Legion Monthly. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPH1 August 28 | Probably the last article written by { Comdr. John Rodgers appears in the September issue of the American Le- gion Monthly. It Is entitled “Via Alr and Water,” and s a brief ac- count of tHe thrilling adventure that climaxed his Hawaliah flight. It follows: “By ohservation of the sun and stars we found exactly our position on the Pacific Ocean after the sea- plane PN-9 was compelled on Septem- ber 1, 1925. to alight, 1,840 miles by air from San Francisco and 450 miles from the Hawalian Islands. “From San Francisco to the Ha- walian Isiands s 2100 miles, the greatest distance over the seas with- out intervening land. The ambition of our naval avia ors has always heen to make this hop, because if a fly can make that he can fly anyvwhere on earth, “Within a few hundred miles of our goal we had to come down. Floating on the surface of the ocean we rigged an antenna and received radio mes- sages. bujgwe could not send because our sending set required power from the engine, and we could not run the engine. “We stripped the cloth from the lower wings and rigged it as sails on the spars like the sails of a square- rigged ship, and, because of the direc- tion of the prevalling winds, headed for the Island of Kaui, the most western of the Hawaiian group, 450 miles away. It tooks us nine dave to reach our ohjective. Giant sharks followed us for d and great sea birds bovered over us. We were short of food, but could not eat what we had becanse we had little drinking water. We depended for our supply on a still which converted salt water Into fresh water. Lacking gasoline for fuel 1o run the still. we used wood from the wings of the plane, a slow process, When our water was compleiely exhansted. however, there me a heavy rain squall, which re- vived us. “We heard by radio the reports of henandoah disaster. We heard news message say that 21 fellow aviators helieved our plane lost, but we were relieved 1o hear the search- ing ships ordered to maintain their the searching vessels and the news of had served with distinc in the American Navy since 1376, never knew the meaning of the word “fear.” Although at the age of 45, which is regarded as a little too advanced for | active fiying, Comdr. Rodgers possess- ed a. keen interest in the airplane and’| used It whenever he could get away trom his duties as assistant chief of the Bureau of Aervonautics. He loved to fly and this keen desire brought about his recent transfer from “desk duty” In Washington to active field | work with a special squadron of new long-distance planes. and perhaps was the direct cause which led to his death vesterday In Philadelphia. Comdr. Rodgers is known to have heen keenly disappointed over the promotion glven him by Secretary Wilbur following his rescue from the Pacific aboard the PN-9 No. 1. to the detail of assistant chief of the bu-| rean. His predecessor in that offic had been a captaii. Frequently h applied for transfer with aviation units at sea, and finally the depart ment vielded to his request.

Rodgers made no effort to defend himself from attacks launched by the Mitchell forces for the failure of the PN-9, No. 1, to complete its mis sion, and he bore the responsibility for the unsuccessful completion, although it is known that the fault was not his. On his return to Washington he told a representative of The Star that an error in the radio bearings sent out by the station ship Aroostok caused him to miss that ship. which, had it been located. could have given him fuel and the mission would have been completed. Acting on the infor- mation given by the Aroostok, he struck out in that direction with de- pleted fuel supply until the last drop of gasoline was burned and a landing was made on the Pacific. Never Pressed Claim. i Aroostok was a classmate of the avia tor, and also_because. Comdr.
