Post, who has made two dresses, using just one word fo evidently expected to do soiucth the sort last night. Senator Binghan presenting a diploma of honorary meni- bership in the National Aeronaut sociation, made & long presed speech, explaining how jealoisiy the honorary membership list has %0 that it might be a real ma; tinction. He then called upon Post Lo respond. Post rose reluctantly, embarrassed be- fore the battery of microphones.

But we found the Russians expressed their generosity by putting in 540 gallons.

He ran out of words instantly and stood before the microphone in u tongue-tied silence for a minute.
