Meyer saved the family of his girl friend, Margaret Wegener, by extinguishing the fuse on an eight-stick dynamite bomb placed near her home. The youth was removed from the role of hero and placed in a cell when, police said, he ad- mitted lighting the bomb as well as extinguishing fit. “I did it because I wanted Mar- garet and her folks to think I ‘was & hero,” police quoted Meyer as saying. “And he almost ruined my pansy bed,” sighed Mrs. Wegener. FRENCHMEN SPEED 10 LOUISVILLE 0 REMAIN OVER NIGHT Coste and Bellonte Coming in the National Capital today with his co-pilot, Edward Zimmer, to re- ceive the Nation's official welcome from President Hoover. The ocean crossing should be divided into three stages, Capt. von Gronau believes, with intermediate bases on the West coast of England, Iceland and either one or two beses on Greenland. “It is most important that radio sta- tions be established at these bases,” he said. “Refueling facilities repair shops also should be ayal e at the bases. If these things be done I am convinced that regular airplane service across the ocean will be possible on a commercial basis.” East to Prepare for Re- ception by Hoover. By the Assoclated Press. DALLAS, Tex., September 5.—Capt. Dieudonne Coste and Meaurice Bellonte, Paris-New York-Dallas fiyers, took off from Love Field here at 12:30 pm. (Central standard time) today on a non-stop flight to Louisville, Ky., where they wilk remain overnight on their Flight Not to Be Dreaded. Capt. von Gronau said that his fight fllustrates that the ocean flight need not be dreaded. He made no prepa- rations for the flight and proceeded as though it were no more unusual ;hnn Any ordinary cross-country flight, e said. “We used an old plane, without proper radio equipment, and made no advance preparations,” he said. “If we were able to do this ang still to get through *without undue delays in the face of almost continuous storms and fog, 1t should not be difficult to dupli- cate the trip regularly and successfully with the modern equipment which is available today.” Capt. von Gronau and his fellow fly- er, Zimmer, came to the National Cap- ital by rail from New York, leaving their big Dornier Wal: boat and the other two members of the crew Fnseior ‘and their ‘stay in Washington. After receiving the congratulations of President Hoover, von Gronau and Zimmer were photographed with the President on the south lawn of the White House. They told him of their trip and of their belief that commercial atrcraft can follow with safety the they blazed. After being met at Union Station this morning by members of the German embassy staff, they were taken to the home of Dr. Kiep, 3229 Idaho avenue, for breakfast. On Sightseeing Trip. During the morning they were taken on a sightseeing trip, which included a stop at the Department of Com- merce, where they were welcomed by Clarence M.

Dr. Kiep will give an informal dinner in their honor tonight at his home. ~ Capt. von Gronau, a crisp-spoken veteran of the German Imperial Navy fiying service, sald that he made his unexpected flight to the United States as a part of a training program of the Deutzche Verkerhs Fieger Schule, gov- ernmental flying school at Warne- muende, Germany, of which he is man- ager.

Copies of these regulations are being sent to both, the fleld supervisors throughout the country, representing the Government, and to the great trade associations for comment. When this comment returns there will be a further intensive study made of the revised regulations. All this procedure will take weeks, according to Dr. Doran, who said he expected it would probably be some- time in October before the regulations xnuld be ready for formal promulga- jon. The rising complaints against the widespread use of wood alcohol have come to the attention of Dr. Doran, who sald that there was no law under which the Government could control its use, such as for automobile radia- tors. ‘The Government controls the formulae used in denaturing alcohol, but it cannot control the sale of wood alcohol, Dr. Doran said. Wood Alcohol a Poison. “Wood alcohol, however,” Dr. Doran sald, “has never been considered a good thing to put in soup or to let bables play with. In itself it is a polson.” Dr. Doran said alarm over the wide- spread use of wood alcohol cted Winter was spreading.

Unable to hurdle the West In- dian mountains, the hurricane which wrecked Santo Domingo appeared today to have spent its fury, virtually ending threats of further damage, Forecaster Charles L. Mitchell announced to- day. The hurricane hurled itself| against the mountains of the is- land group with terrific force, but emerged from the encounter bad- 1y beaten, reports received today trom the hurricane area indicated. Path Remains Unchanged. “The storm has dwindled into something that no one in Cuba or Florida need worry about to any extent,” the Government’s hur- ricane expert declared. “The path-of the disturbance remains unchanged, and: Lose Intensity Quickly. Mr. Mitchell points out that hurri- canes 1ulnkly lose their intensity over land. 1t is over open stretches of water that they attain their greatest fury. Mountains and broad expanses of land usually sound s death knell for the mwm disturbances. hat is left of the present storm should reach the Florida Straits within the next 24 hours, but there is little likelihood now that strong winds will accompany it. May Break Drought. A possibility that the hurricane might break the drought somewhere in Cen- tral United States was seen today by Mr, Mitchell, but he added that it was | PO “one day too early -to make definite predictions.” Mr., Mitchell said he probably would be able to forecast definitely by 11 o'clock tomorrow. “If the storm enters the Gulf keep- ing its cyclonic character,” he said, “it will have to get out somewhere, and wherever it goes it will bring rain, whether it carries much wind or not.” At present, Mr. Mitchell said, he could see no real reason for predicting that such would be its course. Breathing easler, in unison with citi- zens in the menaced area, Forecaster Mitchell took leave of his reports and maps today long enough to describe by radio the origin of West Indian hurricanes. “All of you,” Mitchell said, “doubt- less have experienced te of mind known as the ‘doldrums,’ when there was a sort of sense of depression with variable decisions that lacked force and permanence. Doldrums in Air. “There is an area called the dol- drums over the Atlantic Ocean north of the Equator between South America and Africa, that moves northward and southward with the sun, and in_this belt there is a slight depression of the barometer, the winds are light and variable as a rule, and local thunder- storms of the usual afternoon con- ventional type are rather frequent.” When the “doldrums” are near the Equator, nothing happens, because the deflective force of the earth’s rotation, necessary to begin a cyclonic storm, is so near zero that storms cannot origi- nate. But in late Summer and early Au- tumn the “doldrums” move near to the Cape Verde Islands and the “deflective force is quite sufficlent to initiate a cyclonic circulation,” Mitchell said. Then, “by some so-called ‘trigger’ ac- tion which is not thoroughly under- stood, & cyclonic circulation is set up,” the forecaster added. Once started, the storms gain vio- lemce, and the usual West Indies dis- turbance moves slightly north and east to west at 12 to 14 miles an hour. It (Continued on Page 3, Column 5.)
