HAUSNER LANDS IN MIAMI; CITY STAGES HOLIDAY Rescued Flier Embraced by Wife as Camera Lights Boom. Hy United Prrtn MIAMI, Fla., June 23.—This vacation city declared a holiday of its own today for Stanislaus Hausner, who clung seven days without food or water to his wrecked plane, then told folks here that “if I had a plane, I’d be willing to try the same flight right away.” The flier had been forced down at sea on an attempted non-stop flight from New York to Warsaw, financed by friends. He was rescued by the tanke: 1 Circe Shell after seven days, during which his wife praying daily in Newark, N. J., “never gave up hope.” Hausner was reunited with that wife, in a dramatic scene aboard the Circe Shell here, just before midnight, some twelve miles off shore where the Circe Shell paused en route to New Orleans. She and the party of forty haa left Miami on a yacht. She was given glasses, and was one of the first to sight the tanker. Embraces Her Mate Stars twinkled overhead in a blue-black sky. The sun not long before had sunk behind the Florida horizon. And in that setting, the party transferred to a seagoing tug, just two miles from the tanker. The tug soon reached the Circe Shell and was made fast. Mrs. Hausner rushed aboard, and there, by the light of a brilliant Florida moon and flickering, booming newspaper cameramen's flashlights, she embraced the man she had prayed for in the Newark church and home. Hausner told his story to friends aboard the tug, repeated it as soon as he reached land, and then told a crowded theater full of celebrating vacationers the same story early today. Lost All His Food “I had covered approximately 2,800 miles when engine trouble develepode at 9 a. m., after twentynine hours in the air. I couldn't And the trouble and decided I’d have to land. “Between the time I decided to land, and the time I actually landed, I saw fifteen ships, but none of them saw me. “I landed between two waves. Due to the empty gas tanks, and the buoyancy of the plane, it nosed a bit into the water, and remained afloat. “I lost every bit of food and water aboard. For seven days I was literally without either—until Captain Wilson came along with his Circe Shell. “At no time did I lose hope of rescue. I never even thought of giving up. "If I had a plane, I’d be willing to start on the same trip tomorrow.’’ To which his wife responded that “I hope he will not try it again, but I shall neither urge nor object.” Condition Is Good Hausner was “in the pink of condition,” according to the Rev. Father Paul Knappek, Newark Polish Catholic priest, pastor of Hausner’s church, and his advisor. Mrs. Hausner gave the flier a telegram sent to her by President Hoover expressing admiration of his “valorous flight and your own equally heroic fortitude and faith.” The party then left the Circle

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CHARLES MANN ‘RECOGNIZED’ AS HIGHWAY CHIEF Commissioners Give Him Orders, but Refuse to Pay Salary. Fort the first time since Jan. 1, when politics turned the county highway department into turmoil, commissioners admitted today they recognize Charles W. Mann as "acting” highway superintendent. Commissioners are giving Mann orders, but still refuse to pay him a salary. This led Mann to file suit today in circuit court to mandate commissioners and Charles A. Grossart, county auditor, to pay him $873, or $9 for each working day from Jan. 1 to May 19. Until recently, Democratic commissioners, Dow Vorhies and Thom-' as Ellis, would not give Mann any orders because they said such action “would mean that we recognize him as superintendent.” And although the commissioners have done nothing for two months toward continuing an ouster suit against the Republican superintendent, they declared today they would not drop the suit. They seek to put a Democratic appointee, John S. Mann, in charge of the highway department. Charles Mann was found guilty of neglect of duties at a farce trial before commissioners last January. He appealed his case to circuit court, but dilatory tactics of commission-

ers have prevented it being set for trial. Vorhies explained that “Charles Mann is acting highway superintendent.”’ “The court mandated us to pay his employes wages. It appears that about all we can do is to recognize him as acting superintendent until the matter is settled in circuit court,” Vorhies said.

Active recruiting of unemployed World war veterans for the “bonus expeditionary forces,” encamped at Washington, was begun here today by Ellis Campbell, recruiting officer.
