War nurse, commercial photographer, social worker, aviation company executive, magazine editor, teacher, member of numerous aviation committees, are ail part of her experience, as wel' as her mastery of the art of flying. She was the first American woman to be granted a license by the Federation Aeronautique In- ternationale and is an honorary major in the 381st aero squadron Although she is best known as the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, a distinction which she gained June 18, 1928, when she rossed from Thepassey, to Buryport, Wales, in the tri-motored monoplane "Friendship 1 with Wilmer Stultz, pilot, and Louis Gordon, mechanic, she also has made a trans-continenta: round trip In an autogyro.

Her plane was not damaged in the landing and she was wholly unbait. It was the flier's second airplane trip across tho Atlantic.

In June, 1928, before marriage to Mr. Putnam, she made the crossing, 'that time a passenger "Tiiere is no comparison," she said 'n reply to a question about which trip she liked better. "On this go I was flying low the whole time and had to rely on myself. "I am afraid I am a bit deaf after the terrible roar of the engine my ears all the time, but at any rate I have done it." Miss Earhart, first woman solo flier of the Atlantic, traveled approximately 1,900 miles between Harbor Grace, N. and Culmore, Ireland, and was in the neighborhood of 600 miles ncrth her plane of her set course.

The flier brought down at 2:30 p. m. (7:30 a. C. S.

today and no news concerning her had been received. Brigadier General Stanley Hamer Ford, American military at- tache, said it was possible Mrs. Putnam had come down somewhere in Ireland where communication was ba.d. General Ford expressed surprise that she had not been sighted somewhere along the route but said it was too early for any alarm to be felt. There was a slight drizzle here and visibility was poor.

Because Fifth Anniversary of Flight to Paris GOD SPEED OKT HOP-OFF THE CHARGE? A L-WDBERGH On May 20th, five years ago, an unknown young man with a touseled mop of hail 1 climbed into the cockpit of the plane, which he had named the "Spirit of St. Louis," at Roosevelt Field, New York and, followed by the prayers of a few well-wishers, flew off into the haze that overhangs the broad Atlantic. On board he carried a bottle of water, a sandwich and a letter of introduction. Thirty-three hours later, after the greatest and cleanest flight in the history of aviation, that young man set his plane down at Le Bour.get Airport, Paris, and Captain Charles A. Lindbergh became a world hero.

In the five years that have passed since that memorable day, the Lone Eagle, as he was picturesquely called, has often wished that fame was as fleeting as cynics would have us believe, for nothing is so wearying to the unassuming man as continued adulation of hero-worshipers. 'The two highspots in Colonel Lindbergh's career his flight were his marriage to Anne Morrow, daughter of D-wight W.i Morrow, on May 27, 1929, and the birth of their son on June 22, 1930.) Both were occasions of the greatest happiness but the joy thus brought! is now overshadowed by the tragedy of their baby's murder that 1 blotted out the sun for the once-blissful couple. solo transatlantic flier, had landed there.

Putnam Gets Message NEW 'YORK, May Palmer Putnam was informed by telephone from London today in a conversation with the London Daily Sketch that Amelia Earhart, his wife, had landed in Ireland. The sketch told Putnam that its correspondent Londonderry had interviewed her after she landed.

"Of course, I'm overjoyed," Putnam said, "but we who know her well were sure she'd do it. "She has more calm courage than any person I ever knew. Please let me thank the Associated Press warmly for being the first to break the news to me." Earhart Flight In Figures (By Associated Press) Distance, 2026.5 miles. Time, 15 hours, 39 minutes.

H. Railey, who met Amelia Earhart when she came down with her two male companions at Burrport, Wales, after first trans-Atlantic flight years ago, was the first to hear of her same arrival in Ireland today. He was on the telephone, talking to The Associated Press from George Palmer Putnam's room for two hours today, until stories from London and Culmore told of the solo flier's landing In Ireiana. He repeated to Putnam every scrap of information, promising or unpromising, that The Associated Press could give him. Neither he nor the flier's husband apparently had any doubt that she would in Europe.

Miss Smith, first of the three to plan such a venture, was ill at her home in Preeport, Long peatedly. A hotel operator broke In, saying London was calling for Mr. Putnam. "Hang on, A. while we take this call," said Captain Railey.

"It's London calling, George!" Before the London call came through, however, the Associated Press bulletlrt-from London flasn- ed through, announcing her safe landincr in Irelad. Capt.

Both roared with laughter at wap short of cash. It wouldn't be the first tlmn she'd landed in London, sold Captain Railey. The story started that Mrs. Putnam would make no plans until she had taleked to her husband. "If you 1 can get a message Is the important consideration to delegates is th party prgram.

That will be, it was predicted, "a war without a truce or- compromise against old parties." ILLPT FORESEES PLAN THAT WORKS IN ALTERNATE STREAKS FEVER AND PARALYSIS BAD MILWAUKEE, May (fP) Hillquit of New York, chairman of the socialist national executive committee, told the party's national convention today that an economic system which works "through alternate streaks of fever and paraylsis- and in which too much wealth causes poverty, can not endure much longer." Addressing the convention as its keynoter and chairman, Hillquit said the industrial crisis has beeu a crucial test for both republican and democratic parties and that both have failed lamentably. The socialist party, he added, makes a flat declaration of war against both old parties and "the economic order for which they stand." The administration of President Hover ho termed a "pitiable fiasco." "Confronted with the sudden breakdown of the economic life of the country," Hillquit said, "the great 'engineer' in the presidential chair proved ludlcruously Incompetent to cope with it. "The failure of the Hoover administration Is not tho failure of a person, but of a system. Wlhat we are witnessing today is nothing less than the complete bankruptcy of capitalism." It is safe to assert, Hillquit said, that no democratic administration would be more successful than the republican. Economic stagnation, in a nation so rich in resources, is wholly unnecessary, the keynoter continued.

The "much-vaunted cap- talnsT of industry" have proved themselves "as incompetent as they are unscrupulous" and the socialist party demands "that they surrender the country to the people," he declared. Hillquit charged that with a lavish hand the administration has bestowed doles to the rich, but Norman Thomas of New York, hag refuscll to grant to the'poor presidential candidate In 1928, was favored by many to lead the party again. ATHLETICS DEFEAT BOSTON. PHILADELPHIA, May The Athletics defeated the Boston Rod Sox, 18 to 6, In the first game of a doubleheader today, the A's pounding six Red Sox pitchers for 17 hits. Jolley hit two homers for Boston and Jimmy Foxx Bounded out his 12th of the season.

Captain Railey said Putnam probably would not go to Euroce to join his wife. "He can't make any plans, however," he added, "until he talked to her." Flew Very Low.

1 NEW' YORK, May Amelia Earhart Putnam, In a telephone conversation from Londonderry, Ireland, with her hus- Island and her mother said she late today said she flew was having trouble with her 1-1 most of the way across the At- him, and decided she would "rather drown than burn." For four she said, "It was absolutely black," and she was flying blind. "She said It was rough as the devil," Putnam said afterwards. "The weather predictions were one hundred per cent both sides." Asked if she had been sleepy, Putnam replied: "It was too exciting, I guess. You're not going to sleepy while flying blind with a sick engine over the ocean. Putnam said she told him she started out at a fairly high altitude, but Ice developed on her wings and she had to come down.

Then a collector ring in her motor burned out. From then on she skimmed the waves, even a minimum of protection in tho form of unemployment insurance. The socialist party, Hillquit said, would demand repeal of high tariffs, complete cancellation of war debts, withdrawal of all American troops on foreign soil, disarmament by international understanding and by "our own example," and recognition of soviet Russia. Middle class liberalism and communism do not supply a remedy for present ills, he concluded. Only socialism, he said, offers an effective way out for the American people.

Long, supporting the oil tariff, read the list of Georges' 1930 votees for hijrh tariffs and those of Democrats who had then shown themselves protectionists for tho benefit of homo territory, but now opposed levy on oil that did their states no good.
