Pilot Bertaud, Postal Favorite in Levine Fight, Has High U. S. Record

Mailman Describes Aerial Battle With Ice, Snow and Sleet. [This is the sixth of ten articles telling of the heroic exploits and thrilling experiences of Lindbergh's pals In the air mail service. Succeeding articles will appear daily.] BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service-Writer WASHINGTON, June 15.—There was never any doubt where the sympathies of the Postoffice Department lay while Air Mail Pilot Lloyd W. Bertaud was fighting with Promoter Charles Levine over his proposed New York-to-Paris flight in the days just preceding Lindbergh's achievement. The department since has pointed out publicly in this connection that it refused to enter into contract with a Levine-backed company for transportation of air mail for reasons of its own. despite the fact that the Levine outfit had bid slightly lower. Bertaud had a splendid record in the service on the eastern division of the Government’s transcontinental route. Some of his own adventures well may be recounted in this series of stories about the thrills and narrow escapes of air mail pilots as they laugh at dangers with grim determination to deliver the mail. In one report, Bertaud describes a bitter aerial battle with rain, snow, sleet and ice. Flying west from Hadley field, at New Brunswick, N. J., he struck a heavy rainstorm at the Blue Ridge. Between Two Layers "I found it necessary to fly between two layers of clouds, the lower being broken,” he said. ‘ Upon approaching Tamaqua, under the same conditions. I hit another heavy rain squall which necessitated my flying blind at 2,500 feet on the altimeter. This squall changed to snow and then to sleet. “The ship began to take ice slowly at first. It was my impression I could get through this without encountering any great difficulty, but a few moments later the ice began to form very rapidly. “About that time I saw ground through a hole, recognizing my position as being about over the Ringtown field. I decided to land. “I came out of the overcast, but did not see the ground until I was about 300 feet above it. I turned as quickly as possible to make the landing, which resulted in breaking off the landing gear and damaging the two lower panels and motor section.” Another report from the superintendent of the Eastern division says: “On a recent test flight Bertaud, flying ship 637 light, climbed to 16,000 feet above sea level, but said the ship might fly another 500 feet if you had enough .patience.” And another: “Pilots Hill, Smith and Bertaud flew over fog for more than an hour without seeing ground on different nights last week,* Bertaud flew above fog from Clarion to Beliefonte and found the Bellefonte field completely enveloped in fog about 600 feet thick. He was barely able to see the gleam of the beacon and the flood light. “He made several passes at the field, going a little lower each time and on the sixth time made a successful landing.” Coouripht. 1V27.

King s Physician Favors Whisky Use in Medicine

This is the last ot four articles giving the sclentiflc consensus on the value ot medicinal alcohol. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN. Editor Journal of the American Medical AsMciatioa and of Hrrela. Urn Health Magazine. Sir Humphrey Rolleston, physician in ordinary to the King of England, former president of the Royal College of Physicians, and the possessor of a list of titles that well exhausts the scientific alphabet of degrees, recently has contributed his view's on the use of alcohol to a British publication. “Clinical observations,” he says, “by innumerable medical men over long ages have brought in a verdict favorable on the whole to the use of alcohol in disease, and it has naturally been urged that there may be a fallacy in arguing from the effects of alcohol in health to those in disease.” Dr. Rolleston believes the main value of alcohol is in emergency, as a temporary remedy as in the crisis of pneumonia, to aid the work of the heart, or occasionally as a sedative to induce sleep. Its stimulating effects are quite temporary and are followed by depression. Sir Humphrey Rolleston indicates also the use of alcohol as a food in cases in which ordinary nourishment cannot be used satisfactorily by the body. He points out that in old persons or in those convalescent from acute diseases, when there is a distaste lor meals, and a disturbance of the digestion, the addition of some alcoholic beverage to the diet may make all the difference between distaste for meals and the ability both to eat and to assimilate foods. As to the use of alcohol in heart failure and threatened fainting, he says that its action on the stomach reflexly may stimulate the heart rapidly and powerfully. It should, of course, be followed by the use of proper remedies, such as digitalis. to continue the proper urging of the heart action. Its use in chronic heart disease he considers inadvisable. He also is convinced that the chief value of alcoholic beverages in the practice of medicine is to produce an artificial sense of well being, perCALL CAUSES ARREST Bandits' Capture Result of Telephone Message.
