NEV PLANE AR S BY ANOREWS G. H. Q. Air Force Chief Flies From San Juan in 11 Hours, 9 Minutes. Maj. Gen. Frank M. Andrews, com- manding general of the G. H. Q. air- force, today held a new world’s dis- tance and straight-line record for am- phibian planes. His big Army craft roared into Langley Field, Va., yester- day at 4:29 p.m,, 11 hours and 9 min- utes after taking off from San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1,425 miles away. There ‘were no stops and no refueling. Gen. Andrews last December set the previous record for Douglas OA-5 amphibians by a 1,033 - mile flight from Puerto Rico to Miami, Fla. He had hoped this P time to land at E Newark, N. J., but a strong head- wind off Bermuda cut his speed to 95 knots and f made the Virginia landing necessary, as has gas was low. In the plane with Gen. An- drews were Maj. Gen. Frank R. McCoy, Maj. J. P. ‘Whiteley, co-pilot; and Lieuts. Joseph A. Miller and Hugh F. McCanfery, co-pilots and navigators. The enlisted personnel included Corpl. John Mc- Kenna, crew chief; Pvt. Ralph A. Minor, assistant crew chief, and Pvt. Charles J. Archer, radio operator. A few minutes after the amphibian | landed at the Army field, Gen. McCoy, | who made the trip to Puerto Rico for an inspection of the 65th Infantry, took off in another plane for Newark Airport. Gen. Andrews entered the flying eorps during the World War and as- sisted in the organization of the G. H. Q. Airforce, of which he is first com- mander. He has been executive officer at Kelly Field, Tex.; assistant com- mandant of the Air Service Advanced Flying School, and in the office of the chief of Air Corps. ‘The 52-year-old Army fiyer last Fall broke three world seaplane records set by Charles A. Lindberg with a flight in a hornet-powered Martin from Hampton Roads, Va., to New York, re- turning by way of Washington, at an | averdge speed of 165.04 miles an hour. | REGRETS BIG BARGAIN Auction Patron Finds 630 Pairs of | Gen.

Cobb Says: Watch for Fireworks If Mencken Starts Politics Crusade. BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., June 30.— | This campaign will liven right up if | Henry Mencken, the official human gumboil of the writing craft, takes pen in hand to discuss the men and the issues. You don't have to agree with Hen. You may quarrel with his premises end dispute his conclusions. He's wrong so often that, when he's right, I feel dis- sppointed. But can he make the lan- guage pop as a bull whip? When he gets excited he throbs like a mashed thumb, and cuts loose like __ .
