10 GOOD WILL FLYERS For “One L. Cohen” !(]ourt Clerk’s Call FIGHT HEAVY GALES| Loet on 2Eyed Man Skill of Pilots Has Often Saved Planes, Writes Maj. Dargue. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 5.—All is not “the smooth pathway that might be expected” on the good-will flight over Central and South America, ac- oording to a letter made public today from Maj. H. A. Dargue, commander of the five American amphibian planes engaged in the trip and now at Lima Peru “The skill of the pilots is certainly the only thing that has saved the planes at many of the places we have been.” the airman wrote to the Mer chants’ Association. The association made public the letter, dated when the flyers were in the Canal Zone preparing to hop into Southern Amer- | ican countries. One of the worst 24 hours, the major relates, was at Sali where a 70-mile gale interfered with landing and later nearly wrecked the planes when they took off the next morning. Gets Away in Gale. “I got into the air right away, how- | ever, from a very choppy sea,” he continued, “and into a most gusty wind which had little respect for the comparatively fragile toy in which I found myself. 1 was glad to reach an altitude of 2,000 feet, where I felt a little safer and had the possibility of using my parachute for descent, if necessary “It was only bty the most remark able skill that the otner four planes taxied o de the breakwater and got off and joined me.

However, the greatest “thrill,” the major said, was not in the air, but in an automobile going to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, to pay diplo- matic respects to the President “Never shall I forget that ride: we surely had had a full day and had it not been for the fact that I wanted | P to be awake when the automobile went | BY the Ascociated Prese over one of the cliffs, I probably would have heen unconscious most of the way. ““The road was built along the steep faces of mountains without protection and with many hair-pin turns.

Since iodine is considered a | | specific for the - affiiction, Director | Krohne said that the cropping up of | the disease is directly traceable to the | substitution of German chemical fertilizers for saltpeter, which used to |be imported from Chile and which tains little or no iodine, he said, as a | result of 'the change in fertilizers.
