In making a non-stop flight from Cranwell, England, to Walfisb Bay, South Africa, a distance of 5,341 miles, Squadron Leader O. R. Gayford and his co-pilot, Flight Lieutenant G. E. Nicholetts, not only outdistanced the previous mark of Russell Boardman and John Polando, American fliers, by 327 miles, but also realized a fond dream of the British Air Ministry—that of linking outposts of the Empire with the motherland in a single jump. The British fliers, both officers of the Royal Air Force, undertook the flight in the regular course of service duty. Their original goal was Capo Town, but lack of fuel forced their descent just 780 miles short of their objective after they had been in’the air for 57 hours and 25 minutes. The plane used in the great flight was a Fairey bomber similar to the machine that crashed on the Atlas Mountains in 1929 while attempting a flight to Cape Town. However, many improvements have been made in the craft since the tragedy. Good weather was encountered for the greater part of the flight, but a sand storm over the Sahara Desert forced the fliers 300 miles off their course. At the take-off from Cranwell, the plane carried more than 1,000 gallons of fuel in tanks set in her 82-foot wings, but when she landed at Walfish Bay, there remained only e i.tji fcr two more hours of flying. Boardman and Polando, the previous distance record holders, announced Uial Ussy probably would make another attempt tu regain the record for the United States, possibly this year.

Gov. Comstock, after promising to do liis utmost to shorten the . . holiday, entered parleys seeking re-: opening of banks so they could pay . 10 per cent of deposits. The “big three'' of the autoino- j bile manufacturing industry—Gent eral Motors, Chrysler, and Ford —I - announced they would meet pay- - ro’ls in cash or would see that em- > ployes got their checks cashed.

Lady Nancy Astor May Rule British Embassy at Capital * * * * * ♦ Rumor Says Viscount Astor, Son of American Parents, May Succeed Lindsay as British Envoy to Washington After Roosevelt Inauguration. ** * ■ jjcHa ** jKL, > ■ & » fIM 2j.< & OwffX w&W Ronald / V T/INDb'AYy / fl Vi "&* / Astor. r " ' Wn 87 ■ M 01 W'' / . __ _ I/adv Nancy Astor. "Vith Pres. -Elect Roosevelt It rumor doe* not lie, Great Britain will loon make one ot the smartest moves of her diplomatic history in appointing Viscount Astor to succeed Sir Ronald Lindsay as British Ambassador to Washington. Despite his title, the Viscount s blood is one hundred per cent pure American, and it is an undisputed fact that blood is thicker than water—something that John Bull might take into account now that existing relations between Washington and London resemble those between farmer and mortgage holder, thanks to the debt question. The Viscount is the son of the late William Waldorf Astor, of New York, and the former Mary Dahlgren, of Philadelphia. The elder Astor was created an English Baronet in 1916 and raised to Viscount in 1917, sacrificing his American citizenship in the process. The present Viscount succeeded to the title on the death of his father in 1919. In the event of the Viscount receiving the embassy appointment, his wife. Lady Nancy Astor, would be a brilliant I addition to the diplomatic social set in the capital. Renowned all the I world over for her wit and keen mind, Lady Astor would also be a valuI able asset to John Bull as embassy hostess. It has been said, whether or I not with truth, that more international questions are settled at diplomatic 1 house parties than are aired on the floor of Congress. As Lady Astor j is * born politician, a seasoned campaigner, and holding the distinction fl of being the first woman ever to sit in the British House of Commons, fl her importance as an embassy lady can not be overemphasized. Lady fl Astor Jias also the advantage of being a close friend of President-elect fl Franklin D. Roosevelt, whom she visited on her recent stay in the s United States.
