B e BLEASE FACES FOE OF SIX YEARS AGO Byrnes Defeated”in Previous Run- off by Slightly More Than 2,000. By the Asociated Press. OOLUMBIA, 8. C., August 28.—Po- Mtical history’ repeats itself i South | Oarolina with Senator Cole L. Blease ! and James F. Byrnes, former Repre- | sentative, thrown into a run-off primary for the Democratic nomination to the United States Senate. Bix years ago Blease and .Byrnes went into a second primary and the nomination went to the State's junior Benator by slightly more than 2000 votes. Democratic nomination in this Btate is equivalent to-election. Blease, in returns from 1,246 of the Btate's 1,828 precincts in Tuesday’s bal- loting, held a commanding lead over Byrnes and Leon W. Harris, the third camdidaf te. Byrnes had a total of 81,272, while the 34311 votes that went to Harris are expected to decide the nomination in the second primary. Harris, a World ‘War veteran, conducted a vigorous campaign against Blease's record. Olin D.

Recovers to Find Ship in ;fl parachu'e- There was a ship. Harnetsed to a 430-horsepower en- gine and navigated by Lieut. Julian| B. Haddon, the ship embarked from Wilbur Wright Pield on the morning of January 26, 1929, | She was a fleet-winged pursuit and | could luff on the lee of a storm and command the wind. They were a hardy, doughty pair, the ship and helmsman. Haddon's mission was to ascend 34,000 feet at a speed of 60 miles per hour and determine the best climbing rate and maximum speed at service ceiling when equipped with super- charger He already knew what the ship could do without a supercharger. The climbing power and . ceiling were' greatly advanced by this aid to me- chanical breathing. | ‘While a supercharger nourishes the lungs of a ship, the pilot, too, demands an accessory for respiration. Hence, flight surgeons preseribe the oxygen tank and tube, through which an air- man imbibes life-fluid like an infant. As he reaches 15.000 feet, he mouths a rubber nipple and controls the cxygen with a valve. Riderless Plane. Besides these aids, Lieut. Haddon wore a blanket-lined flying suit, moceasins, fur-lined helmet, goggles and parachute. ' After passing 2,000 feet he started writing entries on a pad fastened to his leg, describing atmospheric tempera- ture, engine temperature and perform- ance. In 35 minutes he ascended 32,000 feet. | Mercury cleared the glass to — 50.! Breathing difficulties began. His mouth watered coplously as oxygen pressed out of the nipple, Saliva dribbled from his lips and solidified into ice. The nipple troubjed him most. It had turn- ed into a Mp,)ery icicle and he could hardly retain it. He might have succeeded.if a nebu- Jous curtain had not blotted his sight. | Hypnotic drowse and leaden eye-weights | connived to overwhelm him. Heeding | instructions, he fought a frantic revolt | and drove his ship to 34,000 feet. The tides of sleep rolled over him and lulled | his_senses. Half-conscious, torpified, he felt the | iey nipple slip from his mouth. Hope sank with the nipple. He groped | for it aimlessly, hnll-wnung];'. It was | beyond recovery. ' A powerful opiate locked light from his eyes snd he re- lapsed into somnolent peace. No human hand steered the D-12. She sailed unattended. A riderless plane, it seemed, but she flew with the grace and instinct of a feathered hird. Clanking Falsetto. . A poorly balanced craft would have reeled into a vertical bee line. The ravenous clutch of gravity and a racing motor would have crumbed her parts and scattered the entrails like seeds over a field. But she floated ‘on & staunch, stable keel, a tribute to her designers. The swishing propeller, pumping cylinders and air wash serenaded the wind. Her human manager, slept, head thrown against the cowling. e OXy- gen nipple lay on his knees, vomiting gas into the vast cosmos. ‘The derelict cruised over wide arcs and gathered momeéntum es she in- vaded denser atmosphere. Nobody saw, but probably she heeled at a steep angle and whisked through space like a meteor. Her velocity was startling. For about 5 miles she galloped, reeled and tacked—from 34, to 9,000 feet. At the lower level the slipstream’s freshet of gen resuscitated the pilot. | Revived, his first sensation was that He lad beeh fromt & coma, Nausea swelled his , stomach and eyes; he rnua for oxygen. Retriev- ing the nipple he gulped long whiffs of the fluid, while his heart raced. He was bewlidered on seeing the altimeter registering 9,000 feet. Then Lieut. Haddon heard his motor thumping unevenly, Ordinarily, at an altitude of 9,000 feet, it would turn 2,200 revolutions per miinute; now the dial indicated only 700. A clanking falsetto note rose from the crankcase; he feared a broken connecting rod. From Ice to Fire. A forced landing might be necessary and he searched the airscape for Wright Fleld, It lay 20 miles to the south. He helmed his ship for port and buoyed by a rippling breeze she dropped 3,000 feet in a gentle glide. A new qualm seized him as he saw flames burst out of the motor compartment, forward of the fire wall. Even simmering heat could not drive him from the cockpit.

Ten of the other candi- dates were on the platform, but did nct have an opportunity to speak. Maj. E. Brooke Lee presided. Aside from the address of Stedman Prescott, candidate for State's attorney, ‘who confined his talk to the vindication cf the county officials of corruption charges, the speakers in &enerll kept to the record ogress offered by the organization candidates. Goes Into Details. Prescott was the first speaker. He went into details of the corruption charges, explaining that two grand juries refused to return indictments and that the last grand jury before whom the charges were placed reported that they believed all of the funds in question had been spent to the best in- terests of the people. Miss Lavinia Engle, candidate for the House of Delegates, reviewed the prog- ress made under the present adminis. tration in the matter of schools, public health and the control cver juvenile de- linquency, predicting that the latter can be better controlled when more ade- quate parks and playgrounds are pro- vided. Miss Engle, as did all of the other candidates, advocated the accept- ance of the provisions of the Cramton park act. Marvin Farington, another candi- date for the House of Delegates, de- clared that there were but four high schools in the county when the present administration came into power and that now there are nine high schools. Property values would be stabilized and | increased if the Cramton act were ac- cepted by Maryland, he claimed, and the rrk development resulting would be of much greater extent than could ever be accomplished by the county | alone. | Greatest Progress Cited. Maj. Lee declared that the county | has come out of the greatest 10 years of progress that it has ever seen, and that it would be a mistake to change sthe administration in view of the future program that is contained in the party platform. He declared that it cost three timer as much per year per person to run the government of the District of Columbia as it does Montgomery Coun- ty, and that'the former can offer noth- ln%) that is not enjoyed by the latter. ther speakers on the program were: Dr. George L. Edmonds, candidate for | the House of Delegates; Robert G. Hil- | ton, candidate for the State Senate; John_B.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. BURTONSVILLE, Md., August 28— | Charges that Montgomery County, which has legislative authority to bor- row $200,000 for emergency purposes, | cannot prociire a cent to meet the pres- | ent drought emergency because the | money already has been illegally used | to buy the site for a court house, were | made by E. Barrett Prettyman, candi- | date for the House of Delegates, at an open-air political raily sponsored by the progressive Democrats in the Grange stand here last night. Audience Enthusiastic. | In spite of threatening showers, the stand was crowded to capacity. _Others | who addressed the rally were Dr. Eu- | gene Jones, Progressive candidate for | re-election to the State Senate; John E. Oxley, candidate for State’s attorney; Mrs, C, Parker Weller ant Albert M. Bouie, former State's attorney. Robert L. Tolson presided and introduced the spealcers. Dwelling at length on the financial planxs in the organizations’' platform, Mr. Prettyman claimed that the county heads, angered because the last Legis- appropriated only $30,000 for a cours-house site, borrowed $200,000 to | purchase the land despite the fact that | such & loan can only be legally made for health, santitation, public safety or other emergency measures. As a result, he said, Montgomery County is without emergency funds in the face of a national drought crisis that is occupying the attention of all public officials from the President down. Forced Platform. Declaring the Progressives forced the organization to issue a platform for the first time in the history of the county, Mr. Prettyman analyzed the two docu- ments, labeling the proposed financial program of the organization as ‘“ab- surd.” He specially criticized the planks dealing with the proposed financing of park development, challenging the | statement _that Prince Georges County will pay 45 per cent of the cost. Senator Jones was the first to speak, | and reiterated his denial of ever having said he would reduce the number of school teachers or their salaries. = Mr. | Oxley asserted politics had been in- serted into the management of the school system, reciting the alleged rel, tionship between nearly all the mem:. bers of the School Board and the county political leaders. Mrs. Weller claimeéd that there were physical defects in several of the coun- ty's schools, specifically charging that there was a bulge in one wall of the Glenmont School. Mt.
