jMGE EIGHT BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1934. SEA HERO STAYS NEW TORK, Deo. 37. (AP) A whirling propeller blade that cracked In midair put Capt. Harry Manning. a hero, decidedly on the spot in an airplane Xllght over Roosevelt Field L. I., but by skilful maneuvering be managed to save himself and the pinna. Capt. Manning, an experienced filer with more than 200 hours to Ills credit, had borrowed an open cock pit plane for a short flight yesterday and was 3000 feet in the air when tne propeller cracked. He tried to shut off the engine, but the ground wlro to the magneto lutd been shaken off and the motor kept drunlng away. The maritime hero, equipped with a parachute, said after the flight he had been tempted to "ball out," but he feared the plane would crash on houses below ho he continued In flight with It rapidly going to pieces. The cowling begun to rip and the gas line broke, showering Ciipt. Man ning with gasoline. He stuck to the plane and made an excellent three-point landing a half hour later. Aviation authorities at Roosevelt field snld that In two more minutes the engine would have dropped from the plane, so loose had the motor been shaken. Capt. Manning told friends to "for get It" when they congratulated him on his feat. Manning won fame after he direct ed the rescue of 3a members of the crew of the freighter Florida 700 mils off the Virginia Capes In Janu ary. 1028, when he waa chief officer of the liner America under" Capt.

Most striking feature of the new car la body lines, which are distinc tively modern and a definite depar ture from any previous Ford design. The new car also embodies a com bination of major engineering devel opments aimed at increraed riding comfort which has been called the "eentcr-polse" ride. Numerous Improvements in chassis design to provide increased ease of control also are Included. Two Important Improvement have been made In tho Ford V-8 engine, of wnich more than 1,300,000 axe nv on" the road. In addition Ford has developed a new type of body the touring sedan, with unusually sleek lines and em bodying a, fitted rear trunk compart ment Integral with the body. Safety glass la standard equipment not only In windshields, but also In all doors nd windows In all body types. The new oar marks the present cul mination of developments begun by Ford there years ago at the time of the announcement of the V-8 engine. In the three years Intervening, Ford has been engaged In the development of a combination of engineering im provements aimed at providing a de gree of riding comfort and case of control comparable with the perform ance of the engine Itself. The new body designs are a further evidence of tho progress of Ford engineering. In appearance, the new cars are characterized by a freshness of con ception utilising flowing curves to carry out the modern motif, plus a new treatment of Interior and ap pointments which sound an entirely new note in Ford body styling. The engineering advances In engine and chassis are comparable in im portance. Principal among these' Is the new "ride" effected by the new spring suspension system, proper car weight balance and passenger weight distribution and the location of the passenger closer to tha center of the car so that they ride between the wheels. To accomplish this, the . front spring, which has been lengthened. Is located more than four Inches In front of the front axle and the en gine la moved forward more than eight Inches so that lta weight rest over the front axle. Front and rear springs have been made more flexible. Added chassis room available as a re sult of the front end Improvements p-milts redistribution of the passen ger weight now curccnf rted be tween the wheels 40 that the weigiu on the two axles Is approximately equalized, giving rear seat passengers the comfort of a "front seat" ride. Key to the changes made in out ward design Is found In the reloca tion of the front spring and engine. Till him rerm it ted mo vine the bodv forward so that DosAencrA ride bo- ' tween the axles, and the development of rear quarter panel treatment alon flowtng lines. The car Is approxi mately eight Inches longer from bumper to bumper.. The modern doslgn note la carried without break through the new slant ing vertical grills with horizontal beading, the sweeping line of the low hood and more aharply slanting wind shield, the beautifully molded body end the flowing rear quarter pane- Fenders are deeper and more highly crowned, with sweeping skirts.

Charging aa false statement at tributed to the administration at Washington that "War veterans a a class are better off than many other groups of citirens." Commander E. W. Wall, of Crater Lake Post No. 1833. Veterans of Foreign Wan, states that the need for cash payment of adjusted service certificates is greater today than ever before. "President Roosevelt and other opponents of immediate payment of the so-called bonus are quoted as saying that the two billion dollars required for this purpose are more greatly needed for government relief projects." Walt said. "No one intimately acquainted with the present status of veteran af fairs In the Cnlted States can re main for a moment In doubt of the fact that the three and one-half million service men to whom the government owes this money need It now and need It badly. In proof of my statement, I need only to re mind you that the same sort of arguments were used In 1931 when congress passed the act enabling bonus holders to borrow 60 per cent of the face value of their certifi cates. "In anguished tones, opponents of the act walled that the veterans wanted the money only for wasteful spending. The money, they said, would be dissipated in needless pur chases and extravagances. No real benefit would be derived either by the veterans themsetvs or anyone else. "But the veterans' administration at Washington made a aurvey and compiled statistics showing the worthy manner In which the veteran made use of the money so obtained. Approximately 85 per cent of the veterans- obtained these loans loans, mind you. on their own money and on which they now are being charged compound Interest. Investment purposes. Including mortgage payments, the purchase of home and business requirements took 30 per cent of the money obtained by the loans. Approximately 63 per j cent waa ued for personal and fam- I lly needs including food, clothing, medical treatment and such necessi- j ties of life. Another 8 per cent went for the purchase of motor cars, pur pose undetermined. Only 7 per cent of that money went for purpow that had no known practical benefit. In other words, of the money loaned by the government in 1931 on soldiers' sdlusted service certifi cates, 93 per cent waa used for worthy and practical purposes, defi nitely In line with present day eco nomic standards which demand the continued circulation of currency, and the placing of increased pur chasing power In the hands of large masses of people."
