'mm Harrisburg Finds Its Wings! "He's going so fast that he can't keep up with his noise." Thus" does a cameraman describe the arrival of Major deSe versky, speed plane designer, during the dedicatory exercises of Harrisburg's new Airport Thursday afternoon. We won't go into the scientific aspects but, from the general point of view, the cameraman's words are descriptive. It did seem that way. "Major deSeversky's over Al lentown" the loud speakers in formed. And almost before you can fin nish a soft drink, his silvery plane comes out of the east and the Major is circling the field, slowing up to land.

Down, he nonchalantly shucks his brown flying jacket and clambered out of the plane, looking more like a businessman on his way to a Chamber of Commerce luncheon every sartorial detail, even to the blue handkerchief in the breast pocket of his blue suit. There's something magnetic about this man, who flies the planes he creates triumph in his dark eyes, confidence in every motion, drama in his voice. No temperamental hero is the Major and he graciously pauses for the camera crew before being hustled off to the microphone He'll be in Washington for dinner The magic of the sky trails! Al Williams, another speed flier, is just leaving the microphone as the Major arrives another argonaut of the airways, looking more like a football player on his way to the big game broad shouldered, swift of step, dramatic of voice. Al Williams has something Hollywood needs. Colonel Camille Vinet is still thrilled by the ride he just had with Al in the plane with the orange and white wings, which at times looked like a fragment of an awning floating on high dips, dives, banks, etc.

Oswald Ryan, member of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, is speaking into the WKBO microphone in firm, steady tones. He is saying: "Civil aviation is the backbone ol the National Air defense." For the first time the CAA is going on record as to the part private aviation will play in a national emergency. (I said for the first time; significant words, these, and spoken right here in Harrisburg). Listen! "The Army and Navy realize that private flying and scheduled air transportation have created, and will create, an Invaluable aeronautical reservoir from which the armed forces of the country can quickly recruit men and machines in the event of a national emergency." Mr Ryan is in deadly earnest, rounding out each syllable, driving home every point, conscious that fateful words are going to the ears of his audience, seen and unseen. One recalls that the war games last spring were "played" on this very field.

One's mind goes back to the early days in this country when the pioneers, who had learned to shoot in hunting game for the family table, were similarly the "backlog of national defence' Remember General Jackson at New Orleans? Frontiersmen, who knew how to shoot, won that battle against the highly trained soldiers of Britain Time marches on and America is in the vanguard. It a day of triumph for many, "frank A. Robbins, voicing the early beginnings of this airport 13 years ago. Mayor Hall, who had his first plane ride today, is telling the audience how much it all means to Harrisburg. And it does mean much.

Sincerely, The SEC. a HAB5USBURG TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 5, 1938 Veteran Senators Battle to Retain Their Posts SATURDAY EVENING SPREAD OF FLAMES CONSUMES ACRES OF FOREST TIMBER Storms in South Break Prolonged Drought and Help Control Conflagrations FARM CROPS DAMAGED By Press Forest fires consumed tim ber on additional thousands of acres today but rains checked the spread of flames in many sections of the nation's 16 state fire area. Drenching rains in the South broke a prolonged drouth and helped control hundreds of blazes but permanent relief depended upon continued precipitation. The damage to timber stands and farm crops was estimated in the hundreds of thousands. The fire area extended from Michigan to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi watershed.

H. W. Berckman, district forester, estimated the timber loss in one Kentucky county, Harlan, at $200,000. Fires swept over 8000 acres in the state and endangered five major coal mining properties. Harlan and Pike counties in the coal fields still were menaced despite the rains.

There were a hundred major fires and uncounted small ones raging in West Virginia where, State Forester D. B. Griffin said, the flames had the fire fighters' "backs against the wall." A 1600 mile area one fourth of the state was in the fire zone. Nearly 3000 men were on duty. The West Virginia blazes burned a coal tipple at Thurmond, causing a loss of $10,000, threatened four mining towns and isolated woodland glomes, and advanced to the edge of Charleston, the capi tal.

Smoke made automobile traf fic hazardous and officials said it might be necessary to suspend hunting because of the danger to woodsmen. Heavy rains curbed fires in Southern Illinois after Governor Henry Horner had declared a state of emergency existed. Scattered showers came to the aid of 2500 fighters in Michigan and postponed issuance of a state of emergency order by Conservation Director P. J. Hoffmas ter.

Flames crept through an estimated 20,000 acres of timber and brushland in Indiana before light rains checked their advance. The rains also halted the spread of fires which had laid waste to an estimated 10,000 acres of timber land near McMinnville, Tennessee. Fires were reported still out of control in Hardin county, Tenn. Rains checked some of the larger fires in Alabama, North Carolina and Mississippi. South Carolina, Louisiana and Arkansas had only minor blazes after the downpour.

Muck fires continued to burn in the Florida Everglades. The West Coast of Florida reported the wettest October in sixteen years, was the driest many years for most of the Middlewest and South.

5. A four day recess began today in the murder trial of two Alcatraz prison desperadoes, after the prosecution's first inning, which was packed with enough blood and thunder testimony to fill a dime novel. The interval will be passed in the county jail brief change, at least, from the grim routine of "The Rock" by James C. Lucas and Rufus Franklin, on trial for their lives for their part in the desperate prison break attempt of last May 23. Prison Guard Royal M.

Cline was bludgeoned to death that day. Examination of a death mask of his face, dented from one of the blows rained upon his skull, and gruesome photographs of the battered skull formed part of the jury's unpleasant duty yesterday. Too, the jurors listened to the first hand account of the escape attempt as told by Guard Harold B. Stites, the man who blocked the break with revolver and rifle. 1 1 fv wwqc.v I iiiiiiii I i in 1 J.

BACONIANS' hopes that they could settle the age old Bacon Shakespeare controversy by excavating the tomb of the poet Edmund Spenser were dashed with cold water today by Harvard's world famed Shakespearian scholar, Professor Emeritus George Lyman Kittredge. Baconian society experts halted excavation of a tomb in the poets' corner of Westminster Abbey in London this week when uncertainty developed whether the grave was that of the "Faerie Queene" author.

Albert Reed, Charleroi banker and lawyer, is fighting for another term in the XLVI district, composed of erstwhile Republican Washington and generally Democratic Greene. Huffman and Reed are both old line Democrats, not vociferous about the New Deal, Reed at times bucking the Democratic high command and voting with the Republicans occasionally.

He is a ready debater and pretty substantial citizen. Fighting Reed is George Bloom, young, affable, energetic, one of the best attorneys at the Washington county bar and with a wide acquaintance and splendid party record. Adverse majorities have not daunted Bloom and he will cut the Democratic vote in Washington and take some chunks out of Greene. The latter county at the corner of the State is the home of Speaker Roy E. Furman, who is headed for re election and who will be speaker again if the House is Democratic in 1939.

Bloom has consolidated Republican elements and will get some Democrats because of primary feelings still burning. Cross Currents Senator Walter S. Pytko, of Philadelphia "Northeast" says he is going to win in spite of Repub lican horoscopes for "Lou" Far rell, but the. Philadelphia Repub lican chiefs will not concede that a bit. Senator Leroy E.

Chap man sends wofd from Warren he is going to clean up the Democrats in the XLVIII northwestern sector. It is even money in the XXXIV district between "Jack" Thompson and A. H. Lezler, who has Republican and Royal Oak nominations. Claims of Philadelphia Republicans that they will take two Senate seats from Democrats may be duplicated in Allegheny.

There it looks as though James A. Geltz, Ingomar business man, would take the toga from Senator William B. Rodgers, elected in 1934. Rodgers has been chairman of the Senate Forests and Waters Committee and a leader in flood control and is in a terrific fight. The district contains many boroughs and has sent some independents here.

Geltz is widely known and has built up a strong organization among all classes of Republicans. Rankin Retires The other district claimed is that for years represented by Senator "Bill" Mansfield, Mc Keesport publisher, and now by Senator George Rankin, Allegheny county commissioner and CHIEF OF POLICE TO SPEAK AT CHURCH An interesting evening service is scheduled for 7 p. m. at the Trinity Presbyterian Church, Lex ington and Wiconisco streets, when Chief of Police VGeorge J.

The projects: Butler and Armstrong 2.25 miles three lane dual type pavement on Route 356 between Free port and Silverville. Butler 3.27 miles traffic bound surface on a rural route between Bruin and North Washington. Lackawanna Plate girder bridge and macadam pavement on rural route in Archbald.

York Reinforced concrete bridge and macadam pavement on rural route in Hallam. YOU II WONDER WHO 1 SAID IT 1 1 HAVE SENT HE II THAT ANONYMOUS FILLED 1 1 OF COURSE. IT TO fi THINK OF IT, chairman of the big Senate Finance Committee, who is not a candidate. Republicans have nominated John M. Walker, who figured very much on Capitol Hill in Pinchot Public Service days of controversy and hearings Walker is a scrapper and ex tremely mobile in his campaign work, but he is up against some one of the same kind in Representative Samuel A.

Weiss, one of the leaders of the House and among most resourceful Democratic legislators. The district is both residential and industrial and Weiss has won House seats twice with ease. Democratic leaders say Weiss will be a Sen ator in January. In the Pittsburgh city districts the XXXVIII and XLII, Repub licans are making uphill fights against Chairman Edward Frey, of the Senate Committee sitting on gubernatorial nominations and a very keen political leader in big wards, and Senate Democrats' favorite orator, B. McGinnis.

Both are old time Democrats who have spent their lives in the storms and sunshine of Pittsburgh politics and have all the resources the Democratic or ganizations can give. Big Fights On Reverberations from the land of the Sinnemahoning and the Clarion indicate a battle of epic proportions between Senator Dana Kahle, seeking re election on the Democratic ticket, and George B. Stevenson, who is a campaigner of proportions and backed by every Republican in the XXVI district. Late reports favor Stevenson. And folk from the Blair mountains and the Huntingdon valleys say Senator Charles R.

Mallery, Republican, will be returned by a bigger ma jority than before. Republicans here and there think they have a fighting chance to control the next Senate; Democratic leaders deny that, say they will organize it in January with a comfortable majority. Democrats will not concede loss of even the West Philadelphia seat and say Rodgers will be elected. They claim Lackawanna and Luzerne, Republicans say they have excel lent chances of bagging Lehigh and Lycoming and predict Crowe will defeat Huffman and Steven son win over Kahle. The Sor doni seat in the XX district is claimed by Luzerne Republicans who say the result will be close.

Democrats now have thirty four Senators and Republicans fifteen. There are fifty Senators Republican headquarters say James will sweep a number of Republicans along with him and the gains will be painful to the Guffey Lawrence leadership. A. B. H.

DAUGHTER AND SONS WILL SHARE ESTATE The $13,000 estate of Charles F. Eby, late of Elizabethville, is shared by his daughter, Mrs. Hi! da E. Johnson, and two sons, Jay R. Eby and Arlo M.

GUDGE lo rvj Hi I Turner vs. Turner Down in Delaware county the Democrats have tried to turn Turner with Turner, but Representative Ellwood Jackson Turner, Republican floor leader in the House and vibrant minority member of the House Investigation Committee, summed it up this way when he said goodbye for the election recess to his committee coleagues: "I'll be back next week and next January, too." Turner has been a member of the House from Delaware since the start of the session of 1925. He does not look like a patriarch, but he getting to be that among legislators.

He has seldom missed a sitting and always appeared with a flower in his button hole. He is in the record of recent sessions and committee hearings more than any Republican because he thinks the minority should be heard if not always to be seen. Delaware Democrats would like to defeat Turner for re election to the House. They have had that liking for a long time, but it never works. This year seeing that Turner would, apt to be busy here and in law and politics they picked one Henry G.

Turner, of Norwood, to run as one of the three Democratic nominees for the House seats in that district. It was such a transparent effort that no end of people have told Turner they will work for him and not bother how much time he has to spend in Harrisburg. So it looks as though Ellwood Turner would turn Henry Turner upside down in the legislative fight because Delaware is going Republican with a bang this year. And if the next House should be Republican, as is possible, probably say some, Ellwood Jackson Turner would be right in line for high place. Package Day Most of the people leaving their desks and work in the State Capitol buildings yesterday carried packages.

Some were big and some little, but all were rectangular. Leaving out of the discussion any thought that the bundles contained anything that gurgled there was much speculation. It was like Christmas time but the bales contained cards, stickers for automobiles, pamphlets, circulars, all sorts of printed matter for the Earle Jones ticket. And each one was supposed to put up, stick up, tack up, paste up every one of them before to night. Secretary of Labor and Indus try Ralph M.

Bashore takes no chances. He is also secretary of the Democratic State Committee and chairman of the Schuylkill County Democratic Committee and some other things. So to make sure the James visit did not rock the foundations in his county he called all Schuylkill county State employes to meet in Potts ville today. The notices were put up right in the Capitol buildings, too. Representative Harry L.

Trout, of Lancaster, says the Garden county is marching right along to a big majority for the Republican ticket and Trout, too, for re election. Armstrong is billed to return its two legislators to the House say visitors from Kittanning. Representative Paul O. Moo maw took time out the weekend with no committees of investigation and inquiry meeting to cam paign for re election in Franklin county. He has a big Moomaw sign on his car.

Senator John S. Rice, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, is home from a western business trip and all set for resumption of the legislative session on the fourteenth. He be lieves it will be wound up pretty soon. "Industrial Highway" Legislative records show the proposition sprung this week for a survey for a big wide State highway from the Philadelphia city line through Delaware county to the Delaware state line has long hair. When Albert Dut ton MacDade, now judge of Delaware county, was State Senator, he sprung a bill for an "industrial highway" to go on the same route, with several lanes of traffic and big capacity for business.

Cost put it out at first base. In those days the State did not have such a big motor vehicle revenue nor a Santa Claus at Washington. A. B. H.
