PAGE 12 —-Aviation WORLD FLIERS PUT BACK TO SPANISH FORT Engine Trouble Develops and Delays Dash to Azores Islands. Bn United Press CADIZ, Spain, Aug. 2.—At the lit tle port of La Rabida, from where Christopher Columbus started on the voyage that resulted in discov ery of America, the damaged sea plane Numancia waited today to start in a more modern way to reach that same America. The plane, piloted by Command ant Ramon Franco, was forced to land at La Ribda yesterday morning after having started from Cadiz on the first part of an around the world flight. , Engine trouble developing in the first hour of the flight from Cadiz— a flight that w r as to have its first terminus at Horta, Azores —was be lieved responsible for the forced landing at La Ribda. Fliers Stay Secluded Commandant Franco and his three companions—Captain Ruiz De Alda, Captain Emilio Gallarzo, and Mechanic Pablo Rada—remained in seclusion after the landing. They indicated they desired to start again for the Azores as soon as was pos sible. The start of the Numancia—a four motored Dornier-Wal plane yesterday was not good. The ma chine had difficulty in taking off with its heavy load, but once in the air it seemed to be functioning per fectly, its four motors roaring noisily. The craft carried a radio and ex pected to report regular progress en route to the Azores and then to Newfoundland. But the reports were not forthcoming. Land at La Rabida Then it was learned that a land ing had been made at La Rabida, better known as Palos, about fifty miles northwest of Cadiz. It was considered likely that Franco had reached a point over Portugal when trouble developed and that he had returned, to La Rabida, a port he knew well, as he started his success ful flight to South America from there in 1926. The plane suffered some damage, but th’' extent was not known. Re pairs were started immediately after the landing and no one was per mitted to talk with the four fliers. Vice Admiral Sanchez visited Franco aboard the craft, but would not say what had caused the men to return. ‘Kinjockety’ at Factory Gar Wood’s famous Fairchild sea plane, Kinjockety, meaning "far from the madding crowd,” has just departed from Farmingdale, L. 1., for Detroit, where it received its first factory inspection since de livery early thi sspring.

ILLINOIS' * TROUT SNICKER AT HOOVER; NO FISHjNHIS NET Son Makes Only Catch of Trip; Candidate on His f Way Home. By PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD HOOVER TRAIN EN ROUTE TO SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.—Herbert Hoover has dis covered anew public question of major importance during his thou sand-mile vacation. "The issue in this country, we have found, is ‘more trout and less time between bites,’ ” the Repub lican presidential nominee an nounced. returning empty handed from a day’s fishing excursion to Medicine Lake before boarding his train to return home. Hoover and his 21-year-old son, Allan, fished all day in the lake, which is supposed to abound in trout at certain seasons of the year. Allan caught the only fish. The best the nominee could do was to help haul it in. No Luck on Trout It has been the same story during the entire five-day motor journey through southern Oregon and Northern California. On two days the nominee caught none at all and the other day he fished he hooked only twelve small brook trout which could be served only as a relish, not as an entree. But the nominee is in good spirits to open his campaign. His face is tanned and he is physically fit for the ordeal which will start as soon as he makes his acceptance speech at Palo Alto Aug. 11. He has not been peeved by his bad fishing luck, which really has been so bad that it has become the stock joke of the candidate’s reti nue. . . The nominee left on yesterday's fishing expedition at 5 a. m., and did not return until 10 p. m. He traveled forty-seven miles up to the lake and ate a few sandwiches he had brought along for lunch. He had dinner on the return trip at the McCloud Lumber Company guest house. Learns Forest Situation The nominee has picked up much valuable information for his re forestation program. He has talked with rangers and inspected the con dition of forests and has taken a great interest in reforestation and is particularly concerned in a pro gram to preserve the redwoods. He traveled more than 1,000 miles by motor and lived most of the time in the open. The special train is due to arrive in San Francisco at 9:30 a. m. and the candidate will motor home to look over the printed copies of his acceptance speech. He will’ make whatever corrections he thinks nec essary in the 6,500-word document and have the press at Stanford Uni versity run off additional copies. No engagements have been made for him either today or tomorrow, so that he can whip , the speech into final form. FARM HEAD TO ILLINOIS Settle to Make Three Speeches in Neighboring State. William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, will speak in three Illinois towns this month, at the invitation of the Illinois Agricultural Association.
