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.
George Fried.
An aviation enthusiast since 1031
when he was awarded a private pi
lot's license. Manning la now chief
officer of the Manhattan of the
United States lines.

The O. E. Dates Auto company will
show the smart new 1035 Ford Satur
day In this city at the Oatos show
rooms at Sixth and Pacific highway.
. 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." I
