Jacksonville Waman Flies Out To Sea Mrs. Louise Stanton Ex- presses Desire To “End It AIP’ In Notes Found In Meantime (By Associated Press) JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 22. —Restless waters of the broad Atlantic today, ap- parently formed a grave for Mrs. Louise Turck Stanton, recent widow, daughter of a.prominent family and a 30-year-old junior leaguer, who borrowed a plane and flew seaward to meet death wherever the craft’s fuel ran out. In notes left behind she asked that it not be called suicide “for I particularly dislike the word suicide.” She explained she just wanted to go “out into space and find out what it’s all about, and if there isn’t anything—that’s 0, K. too.” It was hours after she flew east- ward in the borrowed. plane with! about enough gasoline to last four! hours and take her some 350 miles to sea that airport authorities found the notes and began a search. Tt was late then—anyway in her notes she begged them not to. undertake the dangerous which she said “ 1 of ha MRE mt Friends said, they * Mrs. Stanton was grief-strieken over the death of her husband who was killed in an automobile accident here about two weeks ago.

NAME TREADWAY TO NEW POSITION ON STATE BOARD SUCCEEDS LORENZO WILSON AS CHAIRMAN OF STATE ADVISORY COUNCIL IN| WORKS ADMINISTRATION By OSCAR LEIDING (By Axnoct Prewm) LONDON, Nov. —Dominat- ing the British political picture, as the session of parliament de-! velops, is the question whether the national government is planning to weld itself into a new party. i Many in political circles foresee! jthe formation of a national party; which would swallow up the con-, servative party and the liberal and| laborite supporters of the Mac- Donald cabinet. This step, some say, is the only logical way for the “tempe he coalition of 1931 to insure itself }a more lasting life in the face of its tremendous power but grow- ing unpopularity. Cri Cite Defeats Swept into ofice in 1931 by the greatest majority in the nation’s thistory, the national government has had no opposition and critics of its two-year regime argue that this lack is reflected in its conspic- uous failure to give an ager leadership to the nation. These critics assert that public opinion is rising against the gov- (iy Associated Wrenn) TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 22. —Lorenzo Wilson, of Jack- sorville, resigned today as chairman of the state advisory council on Civil Works, and C.
