By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, May 24—Pennsyl- vania State police and highiway pa- trolmen searched in vain through the mountains east of Pittsburgh early to- day for Mrs. G. C. Kirk, bride of the son of a millionaire condensed milk manufacturer of - Carnation, Wash. Kirk left his bride in their automobile at a secluded spot on the Lincoln High- way while he went for aid after their machine had broken down. When he regurned both his bride and the ma- chine were missing. Police of Wilmerding, East McKees- rt and other suburbs were notified, as well as the State police barracks at Greensburg, but an_all-night tramp through the woodland and a persistent combing of the highways in this dis- trict failed to reveal a clue to the woman or the car. Kirk and his bride, both graduates of the University of Waskington, were on their way to the Pacific Coast after spending their honeymoon in the East. State police advanced the theory that the woman might have been kidnaped. It would have been necessary for the kidpapers to tow the car, however, it was said.

By the Associated Press. ST. Clairsville, Ohio., May 24 —With- out passing upon the constitutionality of the Ohio criminal syndicalism law, the seventh district appellate court to- day reversed the conviction in Belmont County Common Pleas Court of three persons charged with violating the law during an international Red day dem- onstration at Martins Ferry. ‘The court said the convictions were against the manifest weight of the evi- dence. The ruling freed Miss Lil An- drews, Cleveland; Thomas Johnson, Cleveland, and Charles Gwynn, Lan- sing, Ohio, from long prison terms and heavy fines passed upon them by Judge W. W. Cowan in Common Pleas Court. Judge J. W. Roberts delivered the opinion, in which he said that the literature passed out by the trio before Martins Ferry police dispersed the meeting was “intemperate, vague, im- probable and absurd, but that it did not suggest any immediate action by ;n! one to do any act prohibited by w."” ‘The decision in the main was based on Federal court decisions in Kansas and New York States. It held that the alleged utterances of the trio were not a serious threat’ against the American Government, In the a) defense counsel argued that the inal syndicalism law was a war-time measure, and that it was unconstitutional. The decision does not touch on that phase of the question. Prosecuting Attorney George McKel- vey' announced that he would’ appeal the case to the Ohio Supreme Court. The trio were sentenced to five years' imprisonment each and fined $5,000 each after their convictions last No- ‘vember 20. A week later the defendants were called for sentence, and before the court they berated Judge Cowen. They said they expected a conviction in a “‘capi- talistic” court and dared Judge Cowen to do his “worst.” The sentences were just half the imum set by the law. Miss Andrews, Johnson and Gwynn served several weeks before obtaining $5,000 bond each for an appeal. Arrest of the trio occurred after Martins Ferry authorities charged that they had been distributing literature advocating overthrow of the Govern- ment of the United States and substi- tuting a government similar to that of the United Soviet States of Russia, Mrs. Yetta Land, Cleveland, defense counsel, has since started a movement for the repeal of the criminal syndical- | ism Jaw. Two other alleged Communists, Miss | Detty Gannetti, Cleveland, and Zorki Yoki, Yorkville, on trial on the same charges at Cadiz, were convicted and sentenced to prison April 5, but have filed an appeal. Miss Gannetti was | sentenced to from 5 to 10 years’ im- prisonment and fined $2,000 and Miss Yoki was sentenced to from one to five years. — FLORIDA BANK CLOSES Liquidator Named for Institution in St. Petersburg.

LONDON, May 24—Swiftly acting after the resignation of Sir Oswald Mosely, Prime Minister Macdonald yes- terday appointed Maj. Clement Rich- ard Atlee, member of the House of Com- mons for Limehouse, chancellor of the Duchy of Lancashire, and the rapidity with which he acted was considered by observers as a gesture of defiance to' his political opponents. It had been thought the Macdonald ministry's first vacancy would not be settled so soon. As a result of Mr. Macdonald’s vic- tory in the closed session of the Par- llamentary Labor party Thursday night, J. H. Thomas, lord privy seal, will continue in charge of the govern- ment’s plans to relieve the unemploy- ment situation. It was disagreement with Mr. Thomas' policies that precipitated Sir Oswald Moseley’s resignation on Tuesday. Prime Minister Macdonald will re- turn to London on Tuesday from a trip to the north.

Announcement that President-elect Julio Prestes of Brazil is to arrive in New York June 9 or 10, and a schedule of state honors for President-elect Olaya of Colombia showing that he will call on President Hoover June 13, gave rise to the almost certain conviction in of- ficial circles that the two visiting dig- nitaries wiil be entertained hers at the same time. 2 Simultaneously State Department cf- ficials said that identic honors will be paid the two visiting Latin-Americans, though they will be entertained sep- arately.

Cruisers to Meet Transport. ‘Two United States cruisers, it was said, will meet the Almirante Jaceguay, transport for the visiting President- elect and its convoy of two Brazilian cruisers somewhere off New York the night before it arrives in New York harbor.

In the diving attack the entire squad- ron comes straight down on the target from an altitude of thousands of feet, motors wide open, the planes attaining speeds in excess of 250 mile per hour. Just above the target the squadron pulls out of the dive and in actual war- fare bombs are released at this point of the maneuver. The effectiveness of this form of attack depends upon its unexpectedness, the planes coming down from out of sight behind clouds or so high they cannot be seen with the naked €ye so fast that guns cannot follow them. The three-way attack is designed to bewilder anti-alicraft gun crews aboard the ship attacked. Dividing into three parts, the planes of the squadron dive upon the target from three points of the compass in rapid succession. Insignia Is Boar’s Head. The insignia of the Red Rippers is a red boar's head, tusks bared, above a shield across which flash:s a crimson streak of lightning. The squadron’s dis- tinctive color is blue, used on the tail assembly. The plane of Comdr, Camp- man may be distinguished by a crimson band around the fuselage just behind the wings. The plane of the leader of the 2d division of the squadron is mark- ed by a black band in the same place and the planes of the section leaders by bands of white, blue, green and yellow. These markings are standard in squadrons. ‘The Red Rippers were followed into the air by a crack Marine Corps acro- batic section of three planes sent here from Quantico, Va., by the Marine East Coast Expeditionary Force. e section is led by Lieut. Christian F. Shilt, hero of the Nicaraguan cam- paign, who recelved the Distinguished Flying Cross for gallantry in rescuing wounded Marines by airplane under hos- tile machine-gun and rifie fire. He landed repeatedly in a narrow village street swept by enemy fire to pick up wounded men, his plane being struck many times and one of his passengers receiving a bullet through the heel. Lieut. Shilt’s section is composed of single-seater fighters, the other two planes being piloted by Lieuts. G. D. Chappell and W. P. Young. The afternoon’s exhibition will be brought to a close by a demonstratio of individual acrobatics by Lieut. Ma tias B.

The Curtiss Marine Trophy races, held annually since 1915 except for three years during the World War ?eflod. have attained recognition as the foremost seaplane classic of the year in America and one of the world’s leading seaplane events. The Curtiss Trophy was donated in 1911 by Glenn Hammond Curtiss, pio- neer in the development of the sea- plane, and first was competed for in 1915. The contest for the trophy is flown each year under rules and regu- lations promulgated by the contest com- mittee of the National Aeronautic As- sociation. Limited to Naval Craft. Today's Tace is limited to seaplanes and flying boats cf United States Navy service ty] and the distance is 100 miles, or five laps of a 20-mile course. The starting and finishing line is in front of the Anacostia Naval Air Sta- tion, the turning pylons being between Hains Point and the War College, in the middle of the Potomac 10 miles downstream, on the Alexandria water- front, and on the Maryland waterfront opposite Alexandria. ‘There are to be five types of Navy service planes entered, but all will be in the air at one time. They are to cross the starting line for a flying start, 2 minutes being allowed for all planes of each type to start, or 10 minutes for all planes of all five t: to cross the. starting line. Pinish time will be taken when each plane crosses the line after completing five laps. The Curtiss Trophy goes to the pilot of the plane completing five laps of the course in the shortest elapsed time, which makes it almost certain that one of the Navy fighters will be the winner. There will be 17 other prizes, however, including prizes for winners in each type of p:ane. Pilots’ Skill to Decide Winner. ‘The race this year is to be decided largely by skill displayed by the com- peting pilots, as all special equipment has been ruled out and all planes wi have an equal chance in their own classes. The planes all must be equipped to receive seaplane alterations. No venturi cowling will be allowed on the engines. The planes will be stripped of ordnance equipment, radio, night flying equipment and will carry only sufficlent fuel and oil to complete the race. The planes, how- ever, may be specially streamlined, pro- viding no permanent change is made in the structure. Standard engines are to be used, as for normal operating conditions. Because of the ruling out of special equipment, the race is expected to be most ’ closely contested in recent years. Regardless of types, all planes entered will have equal opportunities to compete for the second most im- portant of the trophies offered for the day, the Ingalls Trophy, donated by David S..Ingalls, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics. The Ingalls Trophy is awarded to the plane making the best speed in comparison with the speed rating accorded its type by the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. The Pittsburgh Screw & Bolt Cor- poration will present & cup to the win- ner in the training plane class, Other awards will be for first, second and third places in each of the type classes and will consist of a wrist watch for first place, a cigarette case for second and a cigarette box for third. The prizes will be offered by the following aeronautical companies: For the fighter class, the Curtiss Airplane & Motor Co.; for the torpedo and bombardment class, the Glenn L. Martin Co.; for the ob- servation plane class, the Chance Vought Corporation; for the amphibian class, by the Keystone Aircraft Cor- poration, and for the training plane class, by the Wright Aeronautical Corporation.

RECEIVES CORDIAL WELCOME. Graf, at Pernambuce, Draws Enthu- siastic Crowd. BY LAURA CROUSE D‘UBSTON. PERNAMBUCO, Brazil, May 24 | (N.AN.A.).—The people of cordial Per- nambuco gave the passengers and crew of the Graf Zeppelin a welcome that Will never be forgotten by any of us. ‘When our big ship eame gracefully down to earth I really believe many of the natives thought us gods and god- desses who had dropped mysteriously from the skies, Following us wherever we went, they regarded us with awe and admiration and went out of their way to do thiny for us. In shops, hotels, everywher‘e‘, we were singled out and followed about respectfully. Pernambuco has a population ap- proaching 400,000, and honestly I think every one of those 400,000 Brazilians, from infants to ancients, turned out to see us land. The airport ammy with them. T e | Exceedingly Hot. We found Pernambuco exceedingl; hot—it was 92 degrees yesterday:- 'r}l’ we immediately got busy trying to from melting away. Of course, we wanted to see the interesting sights of an interesting city, and, as we knew our time was limited here, we curtailed our rest cruelly in order to visit all the more fmportant places. Yesterday afternoon we went to a fine, sandy beach for a swim in beau- tiful green water. We were careful to remain inside the coral reef, for we were warned that the water outside the reef is full of man-eating sharks. Unfortunately, there been little rest or relaxation for the officers and crew of the Graf Zeppelin. They have been busy seeing to new supplies, re- fueling and making preparat'ons for the start to Rio Janeiro on the next leg of our flight, which started at Friedrichshafen, Germany, and which will take us finally to Lakehurst, N. J. Compass Repaired. And how efficient the Zeppelin per- sonnel are! ‘The gyroscope compass was found out of order when we arrived here, but was readily repaired. During yesterday the crew filled up our tanks with 32,000 cubic feet of hydrogen and added 200,000 cubic feet of Blau gas. We made a beautiful landing in the dark, after we had circled the airport four times. We had been bucking head- winds all of Thursday, and it was pleas- ll;.tflw be on land again for a little while. All of us have continued to enjoy this wonderful experience. There is a fine spirit of comradeship among the pas- sengers. . Among the most popular of the ship's company are the Infante Don Alfonso, cousin of the King of Spain, ::nd Col. Herrera of the Spanish Alr ‘orps. Mme. Hammer will continue on board with us to Rio. If we do not land there, ske will come back to Pernambuco, an her husband will fly from Rio to this city to meet her. W. B..Leeds is momentarily expected to join us here. Drink Quinine Lemonade. ‘The fleas and mosquitoes have not bothered us as much as we had an= ited. Our favorite drink is quinine de—and it isn’t at all bad as they serve it here. Brief as our stay has been here, we have enjoyéd entertainments in groups. Capt. Shoemaker, Mr. Crouse and I were entertained by the American eon- sul ;ndweluddlnmrwlmg.:l’mk a big banquet beau hotel when we arrive at Rio. Still another report is that we won't disembark there at all. We don’t know, but we haye hopes that we will land again. (Coprisht, 1930, by Wm M%
