RACING BALLOONS N PLATTE VALY Weather Favors Attempt to Set Two Records—One_ Bag Out. B3 the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo., July 4.—Five huge balloons, riding on a southeast wind, drifted into the Platte Valley country today in the twenty-fourth annual naticoal balloon race. The pilots, seeking to break two records for lighter-than-air craft, took off under perfect weather con- ditions here late last night, their 35,000 cubic foot bags soaring into & moonlit sky, and drifting off .on a course which would take them toward Omaha, Nebr. The United States Army’s euatry, piloted by Capt. Anton Haynle Mc- Cormick was the first bag in the air. It was followed by the first of two entries of the U. S. Navy, piloted by Lieut. Comdr. Francis N. Gilmer; the Goodyear-Akron balloon, piloted by Frank A. Trotter, winner of the 1930 race; the Navy's second balloon, piloted by Lieut. R. P. Tyler, aad Cleveland 3—Great Lakes Exposition bag—piloted by Milford S. Vanik. Six balloons were entered in the race, but disaster overtook the Detroit balloon when a brisk west wind swept across the field and tore a huge hole in ghe craft as it was being inflated. ‘The accident crippled the craft so that it had to be withdrawn from the Iace. The other balloons were controlled with difficulty as the wind reached a peak of 35 miles an hour. The balloonists are out to break the international mark for ballons of 35,000 cubic feet capacity, set in 1932 and the American record established in 1927. The international mark was made by & French erew which piloted a balloon 679.256 miles. S. A. U. Ras- mussen made the American mark of §71.877 miles The pilots and their aides pro- visioned their tiny gondolas with to- mato juice, fried chicken, sandwiches and coffee in anticipation of two days in the air. None of the pilots carried radio equipment, and during the flight their only direct contact with the earth will be weighted cards, attached to flaming red streamers. The cards, to be dropped as the balloonists pass over towns and cities, will carry mes- sages which finders are asked to relay to race officials. Steel (Continued From First Page.) employes of the United Corporation and its subsidiaries. The meeting was billed as “a me- morial dervice in commenmoration of the victims of the Homestead riot of 1892, when steel workers were shot down by guns in the hands of the detectives employed by the Carnegie 8teel Co.” Meanwhile, the rift within labor's own ranks was a subject of increased concern as a survey was reported to have disclosed that 9 of the 15 mem- bers of the A. F. of L. Executive Coun- cil favor expulsion action against John L. Lewis, his United Mine Work- ers and the other 11 members of the C. I. O. Representatives of the C. I O. unions have been summoned before the council next week to ex- plain their activities in behalf of *dual unionism.” Officials who place the common eause against the steel industry above the differences between factions of the labor movement are striving, how- ever, to postpone action indefinitely. Lewis and his associates in the C. 1. O. have indicated they would ignore the summons, although it is possible they might make a cursory appearance if a compromise agreement to postpone action is reached in advance. Such tactics would “save the face” of the council without damaging the pres- tige of Lewis and his associates. Drive Is Under Way. At the same time, the actual or- ganization drive is under way with about 300 paid organizers distributed throughout three main areas of the industry. A program of personal con- tact is being pressed as most effec- tive in encouraging organization. In contrast to industry’s contention that the issue is one of closed vs. open shop, spokesmen for the C. I. O. insist that the basic issue is to gain bargaining recognition for labor rep- resentatives chosen by a union free of company influence. And while this objective is being sought in the formation of new unions in the steel industry, member unions of the C. I. O. are planning new drives to increase their own member- ships. Active co-operation in this drive was promised by the committee ‘Thursday to the United Rubber ‘Workers and the United Automobile Workers, newly admitted to member- ship in the C. I. O. The former has an enrollment of about 28,000 at the present time, while the Ilatter claims 60,000. Enter Verbal Warfare. ‘Two leaders of the labor drive en- tered into the verbal warfare as Phillip Murray, chairman of the Or- ganizing Committee of the C, 1. O, answered Irvin, and Francis J. Gor- man, vice president of the United ‘Textile Workers, s member union of the C. 1. O, made an appeal for a strong labor political party. ,Murray denied the accuracy of Irvin's statement as follow: “The so-called open shop never existed in the steel industry, because the industry has been closed to union labor. The collective bargaining they talk about is merely a misnomer, for the world knows that the company unions are organized, financed and administered by the steel corpora- tions and that they endure to the sole advantage of these corporations.” Gorman, speaking at New Haven before the Connecticut Federation of Labor, charged both major political parties have failed labor and that the only answer is development of an ef- fective Farmer-Labor party. “To those of us now in the ranks of organized labor,” Gorman said, “the gauntlet thrown down by the steel barons means life or death. “We must have the economic weap- on of trade-union organization and the political weapon of a labor party. “We have the glorious example of the French Popular Prent and the concrete picture of what such a poli- tical coalition of the masses can gain for the workers.

Dr. Devereuxr died Thurs- day at his home, 3 West Brad=- ley lane, Chevy Chase, Md. no one can secure employment unless submits to dictation by the self-chosen leaders and subjects himself to the dues and assessments imposed upon all members. “We will resist with all strength all efforts to impose such an organization upon the employes. We are convinced that the vast majority of you resent the idea of paying tribute for the right to work. We therefore stand squarely for the prin- ciple of the open shop. “No man in our employ has to join any organization in order to work for us. His progress in his work depends upon individual merit and effort and not upon his influence with some outside organization. “About three years ago a plan of employe representation was adopted in the manufacturing plants * * it is in effect only where a majority of you, by secret ballot, have favored its adoption. It provides for the se- lection of representatives to nego- tiate with the management on all matters of mutual interest. The rep- resentatives are chosen by secret ballot. Benefits of Plan Cited. “The representatives are directly answerable to their own group of employes, and there are no restric- tions on the choice of the employes as to whom they want to represent them. “Yet it is this very plan that this group of organizers declare they will destroy. “Through this plan, both men and management * * * have learned, too, that they have one and the same in- terest—the success of the business. “The United States Steel Corp. has always stood for the open shop and will continue to do so. “It will never require employes to belong to any union in order to gain employment. “On the contrary, it will defend their right to work, free from out- side interference and coercion.” Tennis (Continued From First Page.) muscle njury in the second game of the first set. . When Frau Sperling netted on the final point of the twelfth game of the third set, giving Miss Jacobs set and match, the American champion leaped high -in the air and gave a little cry as though she couldn’t believe she at last had won the title that had eluded her - for so loog. Then began possibly the greatest and most whole-hearted ovation Wim- bledon ever will know.

Helen went to the net for two great smashes to consolidate her posi- tion at 4—2 in games and then broke through Prau Sperline again in the seventh game. She then closed out the set at 6—2 with a smoking serv- ice game. Frau Sperling missed the ball completely in a wild swing on the last point.

C. Dill. Mrs. Dill, the former Rosalie Jones, wealthy suffragist “general,” told the story in resisting the former Senator’s suit. “We were natural people,” she said. “He had lived the life of a bachelor, I the life of an unmarried woman. We weren't children any more. We put away foolish things. ‘We love each other, we admired each other. “And so we were married.” Met After Senate Speech. They met, Mrs. Dill testified, after the then Senator from Washingtoa State spoke on the Senate floor on Muscle Shoals. She testified she sent him a note and a caricature she had drawn of him as she listened. “I don't remember whether he came JULY 4, 1936. to the gallery or to my hotel room,” she added, “but, anyway, we met and talked.” “We dined together frequently and we talked about marriage, as men and women do,” she continued. “He told me of a cliff in Spokane on which he had always wanted to build a home. He said he loved Spokane and its people. I told him, ‘That is all right—your people are my people.’” In 1932, Dill had testified, his wife became critical of his ideals and his political life, “tried to change me— make me over.” In his divorce complaint he sccused her of being s filthy housekeeper, dressing slovenly and saying she “drank like a fish.” Voices Disappeintment.
