Reynolds Will Serve Five Months in Workshop of London Bastile. lin l nit "I Press LONDON. Aug. I.—Richard J. Reynolds, young millionaire scion of the American tobacco family, was taken today to Wormwood Scrubbs prison to serve the five months to which he was sentenced. Wednesday in Old Bailey court upon conviction on a charge of manslaughter. His automobile struck and killed Arthur Graham, a motorcyclist, on the Bath road last May. Wormwood Scrubbs prison, in a northwest suburb of London, is the prison to which first offenders arc sent. Norman Birkitt, attorney for young Reynolds, said today the verdict and sentence would not be appealed for two reasons. The legal proceedings necessary to obtain the appeal would consume most of the five months, all of which time Reynolds would have to remain in jail. There is the possibility the court of appeals might increase the sentence. Reynolds finds his routine as a

ton pike project with the reservation an agreement is reached on "management of the new pound.” Councilman White, who has repeatedly urged remodeling of the city jail, questioned Mayor Slack on the failure to recommend a plan. "I don't know much about it," Slack is reported to have explained. The council unofficially agreed to the mayor's plan for an entrance to the airport from Washington street along Banner avenue.

He must rise at 6 a. m. After undergo r.g the daily physical training drill which is a feature of the life of all convicts at the Wormwood Scrubbs. he must clean his cell and the utensils, make his bed and help sweep the yard. At the end of this routine, he must go to the workshop where he will learn for five months to manufacture various small articles, thus earning a slight remission of his sentence and a small gratuity. The diet at Wormwood Scrubbs is varied daily. It includes moat and vegetables. Prisoners arc not permitted to supplement the prison fare with food from outside unless on the prison doctor's orders.

GIRL ‘JUMPED,' BUT DOUBTERS SAY BY TRAIN Mary Daly Sticks to Story of Using Parachute on 276-Mile Trip. CHICAGO. Aug. I.—No doubt existed today that Miss Mary Daly, 19. had made a long distance jump, but whether it was by parachute, as she claimed, or by train, as was hinted by unbelievers. remained a moot question. Miss Daly created great excitement in aeronautical circles Wednesday by claiming she jumped from a plane over Chicago at an altitude of 31.000 feet and floated 276 miles to a landing at Louisiana, Mo. She produced a note book in which she had scribbled details of the long descent to prove her statements. Then it was discovered no plane at Chicago airports was equipped to make such a great altitude and the pilot, who was supposed to have aided her. explained that instead of lifting her into the upper atmosphere. he had merely taken her on a flight to Joliet. 111. But the record-breaking descent was Miss Daly's story and she stuck to it. "Why. I took notes every hundred feet as I came down." she said. "I don't sec how anybody < ould doubt that." She waved her note book triumphantly. The United States imports 3.000 - 000,000 pounds of bananas a year.
