. aerial collision, according to Associated SOUCEK SVESLIFE INPARACHUTELEAP Famed Navy Altitude Pilot Joins Caterpillar Club After Air Collision. Lieut. Apollo Soucek, U. 8. N., who left the National Capital last month after establishing a new world altitude record and bettering his own world seaplane record, became a member of the Caterpillar Club yesterday after a spectacular escape from a wrecked Navy bombardment plane following an Press dispatches from San Diego, Calif., ‘Where Soucek is on duty. Lieut. Soucek's plane and a Navy scouting plane collided at an altitude 3,000 feet above San Diego and the bomber was badly smashed and began to fall out of control. Soucek jumped, but his shirt caught on the plane and he fell with it to within a few hundred feet of the ground before freeing him- self. At 200 feet he broke clear and his parachute opened enough to break the shock of his landing. He escaped with a sprained back. Scouting Plane Lands. Ensign C. H. Du Borg, pilot of the scouting plane, continued on to the North Island Naval Air Station after satisfying himself that Lieut. Soucek was down safely and that his own plane was not badly damaged. Lieut. Soucek was married here ghortly before his departure for San Diego early last month. He had been on duty in the Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Department, for three years and had specialized in engineering prob- lems in connection with high altitude fiying. He established a new world aititude record & year ago only to lose it a few days later to the German pilot ‘Willi Neunhofen. Lieut. Soucek recap- tured the record last month, climbing higher than any other man’ ever has gone in any type of aircraft. Robbed of New Record. In an attempt to establish & new official seaplane altitude Tecord a few days later, on his las flight before his departure’ from the Capital, Lieut. Soucek made a spectacular 7-mile drop with a dead motor after an oil line breakage had robbed him of an official record, though he exceeded his own previous mark, which still. stands as the recognized world record.

APOLLO SO BRIBES AND DRINKING | LAID TO LABORITES Committee on Privileges Gets| Charges Made in House of Commons. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, July 30.—The House of | Commons spent an hour yesterday dis- cussing what should be done about & speech of E. Sandham, Laborite mem- ber of Parliament, in which he is alleged tc have brought charges against his Labor colleagues of intoxication and receiving bribes. ‘The matter finally was placed before the Committee of Privileges by a vote of 119 to 8. This committee will ex- amine charges against Sandham that his speech was a ‘“gross libel” and will report later to the speaker. Sandham was in the Commons when debate on the question started. He did not, however, remain until the end of the proceedings. A motion was placed before the House stating that his speech was a libel. To this he made no apology and no defense, except to say that extracts in the speech complained or were torn out of their context. He then began reading the whole speech, but was stopped by the Speaker, who later asked him to leave the chamber. ‘The matter was first brought up yes- terday by Earl Winterton, Conserva- tive, who moved the resolution de- nouncing Sandham. Winterton quoted Sandham as saying: “The Labor members can receive bribes to help pass a doubtful bill in the interests of private individuals. Labor members can get stupidly drunk in this place, but none of these things are against the sacred traditions of the House, but in keeping with them. It is known that Labor members receive money from money lenders and other interests and it is known that Labor members. of Parliament get drunk at the House.” Legislators Seek Funds.

A survey of the employment during | off duty hours of policemen and firemen | was ordered vesterday by Commissioner | | Herbert B. Crosby in charge of the Po- | ! lice and Fire Departments. Complaint has been made to the Com- | Be- fore the passage of the bill to increase the pay of the policemen and firemen the heads of the departments were not disposed to do anything about this, holding that their men were not receiv- ing a living wage. But now that their salaries have been raised an intensive effort will be made to put an end to the practice. The decision yesterday was made at a conference held by Commissioner Cros- by with Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superin- tendent of police; George S. Watson, | chief engineer of the Fire Department, | and John B. Colpoys, representing the | Central Labor Union. | After the survey is completed some method will be devised of curbing the | work done by policemen and firemen in | their off duty hours. The complaint, which was made by the Congress Heights Citizens' Association, related only to firemen, but Gen. Crosby de- cided to make any rule which might be drawn for them also applicable to the Police Department.

Communists posted notices offering $200 reward for the capture of each foreigner, Chinese official or foreign em- ployed Chinese in Changsha. The Com- munists want such persons primarily for ransom as they are considered able to raise large sums of money for their release. One report sald two Germans had fallen into the hands of the Changsha Reds and that the Rev. Mr. Lingle was belleved to have escaped. Local headquarters of the Southern Baptist Mission received a message say- ing four missionaries stranded at Pochow, Anhwei province, when rebels took over the city, had been succored when Nationalists recaptured the place July 22. The message said the mis- sionaries, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Strow- ther, Dr.. Mary King and Miss Olive Riddell, had received sufficient food while the city was beleaguered and had not been molested. A Japanese dispatch from Hankow stated the Japanese consulate in the northern part of Changsha had been looted and burned and said a majority of Japanese residents of Changsha, CAN YOU USE supply. 811 E St. N.W.

AMERICANS IN DANGER. Two Remain in Changsha and Others in War-Torn Zones of China, By the Associated Press. Concern was expressed in Washington today over disquieting reports from war-torn sections of China in which Americans still remained. Official_sources have disclosed that two American missionaries remained in the burning city of Changsha, left be- hind by American, British and Japa- nese gunboats. The missionaries, both men, were unnamed in the meager re- ports. Both refused to leave when the gunboats were compelled to withdraw because of the overwhelming number of Communfsts and the rapid fall of the watermark. The only other foreigners known to have been left behind was an Italian missionary, Father Baiman, reported captured by bandits when he made a last-minute effort to get away after re- fusing to abandon his post. Meanwhile cables from the American legation at Peiping told of an American warning sent the Nanking government against endangering American lives at Talan, where the Nanking forces have been carrying on bombing raids. . ‘Two days left to file your personal tax return.
