WASHINGTON PILOT PUTS U. S. AHEAD King, Sportsman Flyer, Sets Record in Small Plane. Leads France. ‘The United States moved into first place in international aviation records yesierday afternoon when Ben King, ‘Washington sportsman pilot, landed in the Potomac Rivcr off the Anacostia Naval Air Station after flying 220 miles from New York in a little 36- horsepower monoplane which burned only 12 gallons of fuel on the trip. The United States now holds 44 records to 43 for France. King, a civil engineer, last week pushed the United States into a tie with France, when he established two world records in the same plane in a flight from New York to Whitneys Landing on the Severn River 12 miles from Annapolis. King’s record vesterday was for air- line distance for light seaplanes of class C-2, second category. Neither| world nor national records have been claimed previously in this type. The record is for single-seater seaplanes having an empty weight of less than 570 kilograms, or 1,255.6 pounds. It is an Aeronca monoplane, equipped with floats. In capturing his two world records last week, King flew the plane as a multi-seater and carried as a passenger Dan Brimm of Port Wash- ington, Long Island. To qualify the | plane as a single-seater for yesterday's flight he installed a reserve gasoline tank in the passenger space and took | off from New York with 18 gallons. He landed here because of the difficulties which would have beenrencountered in obtaining official certification for a world record if he had continued down Chesapeake Bay or the Potomac until his fuel supply was exhausted. FINNAN TO SUBMIT STADIUM PLANS New National Guard Armory for District Included in Program. Detailed plans for the projected sta- dium to be erected on the banks of the Anacostia River at the end of East Capitol street, and capable of seatiug upward of 80,000 people, will be laid before the National Capital Park and Planning Commission by C. Marshall | Finnan, superintendent of National | Capital parks. The pians embrace a program for erection of a new National Guard Ar- mory for the District, but Mr. Finnan yesterday was unable to give an esti- mate of cost for the development. The project will include. in addition to the | stadium and the armory, an outdoor theater, an outdoor swimming pool for | racing and other exhibitions, a natural | swimming pool on the shores of King- man Lake. a large hall for ice skating and other indoor sports, 40 acres or more for a demonstration field and | traffic control and facilities for pedes- | trians, private automobiles, railroads | and busses. Thus far, only preliminary studles‘l can be made with the funds in hand, | but the park authorities are hopelul; of securing a public works allo(ment“ or an appropriation by Congress to | make the project a reality. Plans for modernizing Franklin Park \ with new landscaping and soil treat- ment as well as sidewalks will also be laid before the commission by Mr. Finnan. This is part of a $1,000,000 P. W. A program for rehabilitating the local parks. —— Rejects Cabinet Post. MEXICO, D. F., June 26 (#).—Fer- nando Gonzales Roa, appointed secre- tary of foreign relations in the new cabinet of President Lazaro Cardenas, announced yesterday he could not ac- cept because of his health. Gonzales Roa is former Ambassador to Washington and now Ambassador to Guatemala. He said the altitude of Mexico was bad for him. THE EVENING DAILY SHORT STORY- BETTER NATURE Just Then His Foot Hit Something on the Sidewalk. Judd Leaned Over to See What It Was. BY BRIAN O’BRIEN. M A'RTHA O'CALLAG- HAN laughed and defiantly kicked the box out of her way. Tonight she was leaving the Red Front Bargain Center for good. Two_years of par- cel tying and box wrapping behind her and a whole new world before her. Tomorrow, by noon, she and her mother would be on their way West, whitner the doctor had ordered her mother. It would be like & long holi- day. Martha wished her mother were better so she could really enjoy the trip to the full- est. They would have such a good time. Martha, too excited io walk from the street car, broke into a run and reached the apartment breathless. She flung herself into the zoom, still smil- ing . . . and stopped short when she saw her mother. Mrs. O'Callaghan, with her shawl held tight about her shoulders, her hat on the floor at her feet, sat inert | on the edge of a chair. Her eyes,| devoid of any expression, were fixed on the wall opposite. Martha, remembering the doctor’s warning, ran to her mother’s side. Gently she put her hands on the older woman's shoulders and turned her so she could see her eyes. Mrs. O'Callaghan seemed to rouse herself. As she became aware of Martha kneeling at her side, her eyes filled with tears and in & minute she buried her face in her arms and sobbed vio- lently. “Martha, Martha . . . it's lost we are for sure.” Martha patted her mcther's shoul- der quietly. *“Now, mother, don't feel depressed. You're zoing to be all right. The doctor said a short while | in the sunshine would make & new woman of you.” “But Martha darling . . . we'll never see Arizona now. That's out of the question. It's the money . . . our money that you, poor child, worked so kard to earn.” It took some time for Mrs. O'Cal- laghan's weeping to subside enough for her to explain how, coming from the bank with the $500 in her inside coat pocket for sefe keeping, she had suddenly felt for the money and found it gone. An hour or so later Martha, com- ing in fiom a trip over the same ground her mother had traveled, | heard the phone ringing. Hoping it might be some word of the missing money, she answered. €evenng newspaper. report from the police and wanted Martha to advertise tneir loss in the lost and found columu. Mrs. O'Callaghan hovered at Mar- tha’s side as she talked “Don’t let them talk nonsense to you. Ths money's gone and it isn't likely it will be returned. Don't send good money after bad.” But Martha felt differently. “It’s | just one chance in a muilion, but I'm going to take that chance.” With some help from the wanf-ad-viser, she worded a small ad. Judd Blakely hadn't always been out- of work. A few years ago he had had a good job, foreman at a shoe factory—made good .noney, had lots of friends and wasn't afraid to spend. But for the last two years Judd hadn't even filled out an application for a job when interviewed. His bad luck had started just about the time Mrs. Ricks had died. Not that that had anything to do with it. After all she was just his landlady and had been ailing tor years. Still there were some who thought that if she’d had a doctor and the right medicine she might have recovered Five hundred dollars in all. It was the| They had had a and had felt that he should have furnished the nec- essary money. Even though she was only his landlady, her death had been somewhat of a shock to him. He'd rather liked the old lady. it wes obvious to Judd now that he’d never get any place in this town. ‘The town was hos- tile . . . quite pos- sible for one place to be a jinx, If he could get some money he'd surely take il on the lam, hit out for some place else and start afresh. Judd 1aughed at himself. ‘Where would he get enough money to leave town when he was lucky to get enough to eat? Just then his foot hit something on the sidewalk. Judd leaned over to see what it was. It looked like an old purse. As he picked it up it opened and he saw it was filled with bills. Avidly he clutched ii and withdrew to a doorway to count it over. Fives and tens. Five hundred dollars in | all. Judd whistled. Inadvertently, at the height of his | glee, Judd thought: *Wonder who | lost the money? . I wonder if it’s ad- vertised?” The thought made him uncomfortable. He shrugged his shoulders. “Well,” he thought, “their bad luck is sure one nice break for old Judd.” Judd reached the slation. About to enter, he noticed a newsboy sell- ing the evening paper. His curiosity got the best of him. Flipping the boy a couple of pennies, he took his paper off to one side and hastily thumbed the want ad pages till he found what he didn’t want to see. A | small ad, evidently jammed in the | last edition, told of the lost money: | “Lost—Black purse containing $500 in cash; widow must have money; | matter of life and deaih, 5044 Willow avenue.” Judd stuffed the paper in his pocket and headed for the staiion door. “Too bad she lost her money,” he thought. .“But it sure comes in handy here.” At the ticket office he hesitated. The woman selling tickets looked at him sharply. “Where to?” she asked. Judd flinched. The woman looked so much like Mrs. Ricks that Judd felt weak. The face of his old land- lady, as she had looked the night she died, flashed before his eyes. He saw her lying there, weakly asking for a drink of water—feebly lifting one hand toward him. He saw her | hand drop, her jaw sag and her eyes get stony. He backed away from the window. Judd pulled the paper from his pocket again and reread the ad: “Widow must have money; matter of life and death.” Onc: again Mrs. Ricks’ face haunted him—her hand was outstretched towara him. Judd threw the paper away. Years later Judd sat peacefully drawing on his pipe as he talked with young Judd. “Yes, I returned the money. It took me a long time to make up my mind, but I finally went over there, and it was just what the ad said. An old | lady, broken in health, and her hard- working daughter. They sure needed the money. “But the strange ihing was that I felt like a new man. I actually felt like I was on the verge of something new. And cn Monday morning when | 1 started pounding the pavements | again, I got a job the first place I applied and I've beea getting along fine ever since.” (Copyright. 1935.)

LIQUOR SALES BANNED IN ‘COMBINATION’ OFFERS City Heads Act After Recom- mendation From A. B. C. Board. Practice Called “Vicious.” ‘The Commissioners yesterday piaced a ban on the sale of variety of liquors along with tea tables or other dry goods, all to be offered for sale at one total price. The action was taken in adopting a recommendation from George W. Offutt, chairman of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. Offutt said his board regarded the combination sale of packaged liquor as part of dry goods order, with one price for all, as “exceedingly vicious,” and he added, “there should be no urge of any kind other than a natural appetite, for the purchase of liquor.” The question arose in a legal query on the point from a national advertis- ing agency, and the question was turned over to Corporation Counsel Prettyman. He advised the Commis- sioners there was nothing in law or regulation forbidding such a prectice, but that the city heads had power to adopt & regulation banning the plan if they deemed such action in public interest. ‘The Commissioners placed their stamp of approval on the memo from Offutt.

Camp Good Will opened officially today in Rock Creek Park for the benefit of 150 needy mothers and children, under the auspices of the Community Chest. Assembling this morning at the Thomson School, Twelfth and L streets, the vacationists were given physical examinations and then trans- ported to the camp. Officials an- nounced that a new policy for chil- dren from 8 to 12 years is in vogue this year in permitting this group to spend four weeks at the camp. The reason for this is that the group in- cludes not only children needing “a change from undesirable physical con- ditions, but also those whom the Fam- ily Service Association has determined need & release from an emotional strain or difficulty in the school or in the home.” For two weeks, mothers and chil- dren under 8 years of age will be cared for with special arrangements RESORTS.
