Mrs. Putnam wiio has flown successfully the Atlantic and from Hawaii to the North American mainland, was reluctant to believe the daring English woman had crashed on Cape Breton island to end her 24 hours, 40 minute flight.

"By a living wage," the chief executive added, "I mean a wage which will Insure the worker and the worker's dependents a living in accordance with American standards of decency, happiness and self respect." The President's statement was made public here on the eve of his return to the White House for a radio address tomorrow night in which he will give not only his impressions of the drought area, but will discuss re-employment.

FIR, CLOSES OROHIIOUR IKII CASE Officers Fail to Return jSuspect In Earlier Slaying Due to Attitude of Natives (By United Press) YREKA, Sept.

5. Lynch threats which have dogged the footsteps of the week-old hunt for John and Court Brite, caused officers to ponder tonight the wisdom of bringing here Robert Barr Miller, suspect in an earlier Yreka slaying, now being held by Los Angeles police. Clyde Johnson, companion of Barr, was the victim of Y'reka lynch law following the killing of Duns-muir's police chief, F. R. Daw.

He was taken from the town jail by an angiy mob. Barr escaped after the slaying and was apprehended in the south two days ago. SEES LITTLE DANGER Sheriff XV. G. Chandler saw little danger in bringing Barr here but declared ha was so busy with the hunt for the Brite brothers that it would be a week before he was able to leave for the south.

The sheriff said Johnson had admitted killing Daw before he was hanged from a tree. This story was corroborated later when Barr's gun was discovered not to have been used in the killing. Meanwhile, pos-semen continued to search for the alleged perpetrators of last week's triple killing in two widely separated areas the wild Applegate country north of the Oregon line and In the Horse Creek region near their cabin. The two men are accused of killing Deputy Sherifr Martin Lange, Constable Joe Clark and Capt. Fred Seaborn of Vallejo when the trio attempted to arrest them.

Around the Horse Creek area, where the murders occurred, groups of from three to five men concentrated their search in abandoned mine shafts and deserted cabins. Help of all available prospectors and others in the region has been enlisted by the posting of a $1,000 reward for the capture of the brothers, dead or alive.

A baby whale, or perhaps a dolphin, small enough to be carried in a man's arms, paid a visit here this week, lived on land more than an hour, had a horseback trip and lived to cavort again in the Pacific. The little creature, believed to be a week-old California gray whale, was washed onto the beach. Mr. and Mrs. John Sleasmon displayed it to scores of persons.

Mrs. Markham, who is no stranger to adventure and who has been flying for five years, confessed that there were many minutes of worry on the flight.

"I had visions of falling into tho Atlantic," she said, wryly. As soon as she could reach a telephone she asked that a motorcar be sent to pick her up. She was brought to Louisburg where she was the guest tonight of Capt. George Lewis. Ray Goodwin, Cape Breton flying club pilot, looked over the monoplane and said that it was not damaged beyond repair.

The field in which Mrs. Markham came down was about 20 miles from this Cape Breton town, which once was known as "the Dunkirk of America," the proudest fortress and the only walled city in North America. It was named in honor of Louis IV of France. Mrs. Markham, blonde, athletic mother of a seven-year-old son, was the second flier of either sex to succeed in making the dangerous east-west crossing.

WALKS THREE MILES The spot where the plane came down was within 10 miles from where Col. Charles A. Lindbergh left the Cape Breton coast on his epoch solo flight in the opposite direction. After landing "right side up" Mrs. Markham walked three miles to the nearest farmhouse, that ot Alex Burke, where she sought aid.

She was later driven into Louisburg by Captain Lewis. Goodwin, the Cape Breton airman who surveyed the wreck, expressed belief it would be extremely difficult to carry out the ma-ohine through the bog and underbrush. Mrs. Markham, after having her head wounds dressed by Dr. Freeman O'Neill of Louisburg, talked with her husband and James A.

Mollison, famous British aviator, In London. On her arm, still ticking merrily, was the wrist watch Mollison gave her Just before she hopped. Advised by Dr. O'Neill to rest before continuing her journey, she decided to remain here for the night. Her New York manager, Harry Bruno, phoned her stating that a plane was being sent to Cape Breton to take her on to the metropolis tonight, but Mrs.

Markham has decided to obey the Louisburg doctor's advice. Bruno, In New York, said she described tho trip as "lousy." She told him she had set her course for Harbor Grace and missed It, he said, and when she arrived over the mainland she found the motor was "chewing up much more petrol" than she had expected. Her gasoline tanks were almost completely empty when she came down In the pasture, Brun said. MOLLISON FORCED DOWN Mollison, tho only other flier to span tho ocean in an east-west solo flight, also fell short on his goal when he was forced down at Pennfield Ridge, N. on Aug.

19, 1932, his gasoline tanks almost empty. Like most of the earlier trans atlantic fliers, Mrs. Markham, car ried no radio. Holding a true course along the, great circle route, far to the north of regular steamship travel, the flier drove straight to tho south shore of Newfoundland. Villagers reported seeing her turquolse-blu plane circling wide over Renews at 8:35 a.m., (Eastern Standard Time) 19 hours and 45 minutes after her takeoff.

After apparently checking her maps and re-checking her course over her first landfall, she straightened out. and flew In a direct line toward Capo Race. Ten minutes later sho was reported over that place, with 1,200 airline miles still between her nnd New York and a dwindling gasoline supply. Then followed several hours of si lence, broken suddenly by the telephone call from Louisburg.

5. Spain's new government has prrpaied a military plan covering the entire country and wiil put it into immed.ate ef-j feet upon its appioval by the war ministry, it was announced today. A new national plan covering the situation behind the fighting lines will be studied at a cr.bir.rt meeting tomorrow. Pledged to siiii.it mi Jed suppression of the rebellion, and following that a policy of ptace and friendship with all nations, the left wins: cabinet proceeded with energy to its' mnnv ta.ks. PARAMOUNT TOPIC The military situation was uppermost it was recognized the San Sebastian and Toledo fronts were of first importance.

Rebel consolidation of victory in the north, or a break through to Toledo, would put the rebels on direct highways to the capital. Col. Jose Asension, of the gen eral staff, was named ch ief of op- and thus I erations for central Spam will have supreme command of the capital area. Capt. Francisco Gal an was promoted general of the workers' militia, and will be formally decorated with the general's red sash in recognition of his bravery and coolness in action.

He is a brother of Fermin Galan, who was executed for participation in the 1930 revolution against the monarchy. The cabinet decided to merge the navy and air ministries under In-dalecio Prieto, the Socialist leader who was given both portifolios yesterday. It will be the "ministry of marine and air."

A ministerial declaration to the inten and confidence of victory. It emphasized, by implication, the i complete healing of disagreements among left wing elements that had existed for years and had become acute under the strain of the civil war. The determination of the government to proceed forcefully with the war was reflected at once.

HEAVY FIRING Big guns blasted at the historic walls of the Alcazar at Toledo where 1,300 men, women and children of the rebels have been besieged for weeks. The new orders were to hammer it to dust if nec-egsaiy. The cabinet, which unlike its predecessor i3 based on all elements of the left wing coalition which won an overwhelming victory in the February elections, held its first meeting late last night and issued to the country t')day a ministerial declaration which said: "1, The government, because of its composition, considers itseif the direct representative of the political forces fighting on different fronts for maintenance of the democratic republic against which the Rebels rose in arms. "2. The ministerial program is based essentially on the firm inten- tion of hastening the triumph over the rcodlion by coordinating the people's efforts, by 'inity of ac- tion, to turn th-.

to best advantage. "3. Spain perialistic i. proclaims a of 4.. which responds not only to Ministers' unanimous ideas but to the nation welfare because peace will be the greatest guarantee for our restoiation.

"4. In a pacific spirit the government affirms Spain's sentiments of friendship for ail nations and her most devoted adherence to the league of nations covenant, in hope that jn just reciprocity our country will obtain from others the bame iei.pect it has for thorn. "5. The government expresses its i ,1 Ui.fliukeable resolve to maintain at fell costs the integrity of the nation- kl territory against the dangers which the uccess of the Rebels might represent in this respect. "6.

The government salutes with the greatest enthusiasm the efforts of the land, sea and air forces and the population militia for defending the legality of the republic. The government supreme aim will be to make Itself worthy of such heroic combatants, whose legitimate dir for aocial betterment will find In It a very decided guarantor." F.L DECLARES I LEWIS (Continued from Pnge One) and the 10 "rebel" unions in contesting for membership among workers in many industries. The 10 unions affiliated with Lewis claim to represent 1,100,000 workers in the coal, steel, garment, textile, automobile, rubber, metal mine, flat glass and oilfield and refinery Industries. They Intend to promote the organization of all the workers in each of these industries and others, too, eventually Into one large union In each industry.

Calling this move "insurrection" the council ordered the 10 unions to stand trial. They refused. The trial was held, and the 10 unions were found guilty. Members of the council told re porters they had ordered the Lewis unions to withdraw from the com mittee for industrial organization by Sept.

"With that ability to react naturally, the great actress uses technique only in defining what her character is like, for all types of people react differently.

You might have before you a coward, a bully, a snob, a radical, a meek person, a brave one, a fiery-tempered soul, a great executive, an Imbecile and a drunkard.

inree minutes later it was an- nounced "semi-officially" that Bet ty Browning, dark-haired Wichita, girl had won the race. This announcement was confirmed 15 minutes later by N.A.A. officials. They explained their long silence by saying "the prize money had to be kept straight." Miss Sumner burst into tears upon learning she had been ruled out of first place and entered a protest. NA.A.

officials later explained that a "mistake in timing" permitted Miss Sumner to start the race one minute before her handicap, thus causing the confusion. The United Press learned that Waldo Waterman, official N.A.A. starter, informed his associates that a "cloud of dust" obscured his watch for a moment and he signalled the Los Angeles girl to start GO seconds too soon. Whatever the cause, Waterman admitted Miss Sumner was the first home. If the race committee's explanation is accepted this will mean that Miss Sumner started the race without knowing she had to finish one minute ahead of the field to win, whereas all other contestants were racing only to cross the line first.

Miss Sumner's protest was the second of the day. Earlier Lieut. William Gulick protested being awarded third place in the Bendix race yesterday behind Laura In-galls, who was officially declared winner of second prize money. SECOND PROTEST Gulick, who flew a giant Vultee with William Warner of New York, contended that crowded conditions on the airfield forced him to circle about and lose six minutes before ho could land. There was about six minutes difference between the elapsed time of the Gulick and In-galls planes, and Gulick claimed he might have won second money If he had been timed when his plane arrived.

Neumann's performance In the Shell trophy race was in the nature of a tune-up for the Thompson speed classic in which he will appear as the defending champion. His 223-miles per hour speed was slow, however, compared to the 273.475 miles per hour test time whieh Michael Detroyat, French ace, hung up in qualifying yesterday. Detroyat's time firmly established his $1,000,000 Caudron-Rcn-ault racer as the outstanding entry for the Labor day sprint race. Neumann was threatened only briefly in the Shell race, taking tho lead at the start. He held it against Wittman's early threat and increased his lead as the race wore on.

He was nearly one mile ahead of Chester at the finish. Chester's hot fight with Wittman for second position as they roared around the pylons gave the crowd Its big thrill of the dash until Wittman'a motor began to sputter. The outcome was still In doubt when the Oshkosh flyer abandoned the race and set his plane down in a crash landing. In the women's race, Miss Sumner was sixth In tho eight-place field to leave the ground. On the third lap of the five-lap race she forged into fourth position, grabbed the lead on the bell lap, and was going away when she passed the home (Continued from Page One) plane, and struck the grounded plane in which Ross Seely was warming the motor.

The fliers crawled unscratched from the wreckage. Neumann averaged 223.25 miles per hour for the 100 miles r.nd collected $3 400 as first prize money. Chester, who averaged 222.23 earned $1,500, Miles was given $840 for finishing third, and Jacobson collected $540 for fourth place. Miles' average speed was 2ii2.S4 miles per hour.
