DOWNPOUR GUTS NAVY DAY CROWD 135,000 See Exhibit at Yard—Many Events Held Despite Rain. Falling far short of last year's rec- ord of 205,400 visitors, the Navy Day attendance at the Washington Navy Yard yesterday was 135,000, who braved the stormy weather to see the free show. The Quantico Marines were unable to give their aerial maneuvers, due to the heavy weather and poor ceiling over the yard, and some of the parades | were canceled. But the sham battle, featuring & landing operation from gmall craft by the Fleet Marine Force from Quantico, went forward as sched- uled, to form the grand finale to the crowded day's proceedings. The Coast Guard life-saving crew demonstration was held, despite the downpour, and the public evidenced much interest in the use of the small cannon to shoot a line across the bows of a vessel and bring the breeches buoy into play. Catapulting a plane from a barge also was done frequently dur- ing the day, in the face of Jupiter Pluvius' wrath. Neptune Drenched. A soggy King Neptune and his court landed at the quay from the barge of Rear Admiral George T. Pettengill, commandant of the Navy Yard, and were escorted up to meet Capt. Stephen C. Rowan, the captain of the yard, who was also chairman of the Navy Day Committee. There were unprogrammed items, too, for when several small boys indi- vidually made their way to the main gate, having toured the yard to their satisfaction, Marines were on hand to make them disgorge the bits of gouvenirs—pieces of metal, springs and other momentoes they had stowed away in pockets or under sweaters. Cameras and smoking were barred in the yard and a rather strict secret gervice watch was kept on visitors, who were denied entrance at certain | ghops, where the secrets of the first line of defense are being constructed. Cameras had to be parked at the main gate and newspaper photographs were | subject to approval by the authorities before publication. See Gun Shop in Operation. A radio set display and one of flags and unifor dating from the Ameri- can Rev attracted numerous vistors. W interest, the public watched the civilian workmen in the giant shops of the Naval Gun Factory take the red-hot metal and hammer or mold it into desired shapes for use as part of the Nation's fighting equip- ment. Periodically, band concerts were held, the divers went down into the depts from the diving boat Crilly, | torpedoes were fired at the test houses, | marines of the Fleet Marine Force Gemonstrated with field pieces; anti- aircraft drill was held on the destroyer | Leary, the gunboat FErie attracted | thousands of visitors, who did not hesitate to stand in line in the down- | pour to keep their places and get| aboard and the Coast Guard cutter Bibb. white in contrast to the gray | vessels of the Navy, was the magnet | for many thousands more. “The wettest Navy Day we ever had,” declared one of the prominent officials on the Navy Day Committee. The Naval Observatory was also a center of attraction here, but the weather was responsible for holding down the attendance there also. naval LEONARD DOMBROWSKI BURIED IN ARLINGTON Former Naval Lieutenant Was Found Shot to Death in New York Hotel Room. B. Leonard Dombrowski, former nawl lieutenant, who was found shot to death in his hotel room in New York Tuesday, was buried in Arling- ton National Cemetery today with mili- | tary honors.

By the Associated Press LONDON, Oct. 28—Soviet Russia informed the Non-Intervention Com- mittee today she would not contribute | further funds toward the non-inter- | vention efforts to control the Spanish Civil War. It was understood, however, that the Russians intended to stay on the Non- Intervention Committee, which has for months been endeavoring to localize the Spanish conflict and prevent it undermining European peace. The Russians’ position was that they did not want to help pay for a control scheme which they do not believe was accomplishing its purpose. Actress Sues for Divorce.
