(Continued From Third Page.) partment, where he has been a mem- ber of the Division of European Affairs. Others were Mr. Stanley K. Hornbeck, Mr. Laurence Duggan and Mrs. Duggan. From the Hill came Senator Theodore Green of Rhode Island and Senator Arthur Capper. The Army and Navy circles were represented by Rear Ad- miral Alophus Andrews, Maj. Gen and Mrs. W. H. Tschappat, Rear Ad- miral and Mrs. Ralston Holmes, and Lieut. Col and Mrs. Robert L. Eichel- berger. ‘The invitations issued by the Charge d'Affaires and Mrs. Oumansky, in the absence of the Ambassador and Mme. Troyanovsky, read Summer dress or black tie, and the costumes represented a little of each. Mrs. Oumansky chose a jade green satin evéning dress which was most becoming to her excellent sunburn. It is not necessary to say the as- sembled company were duly in- terested to make the acquaintance of the three noted flyers, Col. Michael Gromov, the chief pilot; Capt. Sergei Danilin, the navigator of the spectacular flight over the North Pole, and Maj. Andre{f Yuma- shev, co-pilot. A large map was hung on one wall of the large salon where | most of the guests were seated, and with the aid of & pointer Col. Gromov described the record-breaking trip. ! For those who did not understand the | Soviet language, and, needless to say, they were in the majority, Mr. Ouman- sky interpreted before a loud-speaker, 50 there was not a person seated in the remotest part of the hall who could not hear every word. It was more than just interesting to hear the amallest details of the amount of food, medical supplies, ciothes, etc., which were sent to the flyers by their countrymen and countrywomen in an- ticipation of the flight. Mr. Oumansky went to California to accompany the flyers to the Capital, but before leaving thc West Coast they made a visit to Hollywood, like all interested visitors to the United States. There they made the acquaintance of none other than Shirley Temple, who took them to the preview of her latest film.. From all reports she was a most able guide to the land of fillmdom and explained every detail of the art of taking pictures and the acting thereof to her aviator friends! What amused the flyers greatly was the manner in which Shirley laughed heartily and enthusiastically over her own jokes and escapades on the screen! Mrs. Eugene Meyer, who has just returned from Europe, asked if the fiyers were recognized by a farmer standing nearby when their plane landed at San Jacinto and the answer was what Lindbergh expected when he arrived in France. Since they do not speak English one has only to guess how they explained to that ignorant farmer just who they were. Their friendly countenances and delightful smiles no doubt were of assistance, a8 they were last night when the fiyers were spoken to by the guests at the reception who felt that they would have liked to congratulate them upon their feat and wish them “welcome” in their own language.

CHICAGO, July 28.—Robert Cave- lier Sieur De La Salle'’s Griffin—the “Flying Dutchman” of the Great Lakes—may sail again, if the expe- dition planned today by a Chicago yachtsman and explorer meet: with success. Eugene F. McDonald's Diesel yacht was being loaded with diving and salvage equipment for a cruise to the western end of Manitoulin Island, in Lake Huron, where the pioneer ex- plorer’s ship—reputed to be the first to ply the lakes—was believed to have sunk in 1679. La Salle and Henri de Tonti built the Griffin at the head of Lake Erie in May, 1679. They sailed to what is now Green Bay, Wis., where the ship was laden with 12,000 furs. La Salle sent them to friends who helped finance his explorations. But the Griffin never reached port Lake authorities—and McDonald, who said he had studied all available evi- dence—believe she foundered off Manitoulin. Old sailors say the Griffin sails each year when the lotus blooms. They say she is recognized by the eagle- headed, lion-bodied griffin figurehead protruding from her prow. McDonald said he planned to sail Pri- day and anchor off the island Monday. There he plans to meet Grant Turner of Little Current, Ontario, Canada, since the Canadian government granted him permission for the search, provided a Canadian citizen accom- panied him. If the Griffin is found, McDonald said, efforts will be made to recon- | struct the old ship so that she can WOODWARD & LOTHROP 10™11™ F AN G STREETS Prone Dlsmicr §300 “Flying Dutchman” May Arise From Lake Huron to Sail Again sall along the Chicago water front during the city’s Jubilee Carnival of the Lakes.
