APRIL 8 1930, ° 1% — PILOT TESTIFIES BEFORE COMMITTEE Williams Says Navy Impeded His Quest for Speed Laurels _ Washington, April 8 (P—Lieut. Alford J. Williams, the recently re- signed navy racing pilot, today told a senate committee a story of trials and triumphs through 13 years of struggling to conguer what he described as “the one thing in avia- tion” by which he was “tremendous- 1y attracted—unlimited speed in the &ir,” The crack pilot appeared before a menate naval subcommittee, which 1s investigating not only Williams's res. { ignation from the navy, but also the position of the United States as com- pvared with other nations in regard 13 the development of fast pursuit and bombing planes. Williams told the committee his| Interest in high speed was ‘“some- thing of an obsession.” Describes His Struggle The pilot then described his strug- | gle to “sell” the idea of privately subsidized planes to represent the United States in international com- petition, in which, he said, no gov- ernment agency was participating against other nations, which were represented by government-fostercd entries. He asserlted it took him two months to get permission from the navy to revamp his defective Mer- cury speed plane last fall, after re- peated attempts had failed to raise the plane from the water in tests for the Schneider Cup races. Says Navy Hampered Him He said the nayy refused to give him a tug to take the plane back to| the Philadelphia factory and that he borrowed a tug from the City of Bal- timore through a friend. When the four months’ extension of leave he obtained from sca duty expired, he said, and the work of revamping the Mercury had = not been completed, he was ordered to sea duty. He then resigned. The senate resolution said this as- signment “has had the effect of causing his resignation and bringing his valuable experiments to an| end,” and that “the United States is known to be deficient in the very type of plane” with which Williams had been experimenting.

British social traditions and the double standard - receive a fearful' bashing from the pen of Courtenav' Savage, whose drama “Virtue's Bed” ' is being pMYed at Parsons’ theater, Hartford. [These British cousins of ours, if Mr. Savage is a reliable in- formant, are frightful rotters not at all the type one would want to introduce to one's friends. Th> women are bad and the men—ugh! Yo morals at all, none at all. Clan- destine affairs over the week-end nd all that sort of thing, you know. eletons piled up in family closets like cordwood. When the curtain descends you are convinced that the Colonel's Lady and Judy O'Grady arc actually sisters under the skin. This orgy of tea drinking and Sin | has its genesis in northern Africa. After the first act it seems as if someone is eternally passing a cun of tea to someonc clse with an oc- casional cocktail being poured f the sake of variety. This, of course, stamps it with the authentic atmo- sphere of British society. A person could come in blindfolded in the middle of the second act and, upon hearing the conventional “Won't you let me give you a cup of tea, my dear?” would realize that the:scenc was at a country cstate just outside of London. Eileen Gregory .hecomes tired of Mrs. Warren's profession in a hpuse patronized by philandering busfness men and army officers and, having, married a’ British colonel or some- thing as he was about to die and having inherited a Jarge number of | pounds sterling, decides to crash the | social barrier in London. She leaves Northern Africa behind and, by in- tensive study, cultivates a Mayfair manner. She is sincere in her de- sire to associate with people who are regarded by the world as re- spectable. To her home, right m the midst of tea and tennis, comes Major Harry Austin, who kncw her when, shocked to learn that! she is associating with folks in his| set and threatens to cxpose her But his conscience bothers him and | he declares that he will not draw aside the curtain on her pa Then she decides to tell all to her friends. At a dinner gathering. she tells the story of a hypothetical girl lifc parallels her own. Ter guess the awful truth and, true British dignity, file out. hearing a revolver turn and then she procec into tatters their own sup pectability. In the end Major Austin decide to be and go to South America. The story, if vou like it, is ca-| pably handled.
