Reynolds, With ί
ι To Navigate His
Ε Milton Reynolds, the pen manu
§ facturer, sets out from Mew York
■ at 12:01 am. Saturday on a round
| the-world flight against the better
I judgment of the president of the
g company, Franklin Lamb.
But, since Mr. Reynolds owns 85
per cent of the stock and Mr. Lamb
only 15 per cent, there is little the
latter can do about it.
"I get air sick," Mr. Lamb said
yesterday at a luncheon arranged
in the Hotel Statler for the press,
several Government officials and air
attaches of several countries at
which Mr. Reynolds will make stops.
"Once Milt makes up his mind,
there's no stopping him. Milt doesn't,,
believe in doing things half way,'*!
Mr. Lamb said with obvious pride.
"He wants to halve the record of
Howard Hughes, who made it in 91
hours and 14 minutes back in 1938."
I 'That's pretty fast flying" one
3 aviation expert observed with a
I trace of skepticism.
f Flight Must Be Certified.
During » lull In the conversation,
« wire service aviation writer ex
plained to a reporter that the man
on his left was from the National
Aeronautics Association. He said
the association, which must certify
the flight to the Federation Aéro
nautique Internationale, didnt
know a thing about the trip until
yesterday.
The man from the aviation group
said Mr. Reynolds was coming to
Washington tomorrow to work out
the intricate details of certifica
tion at each of the stops—Paris,
Cairo, Karachi, Shanghai, Tokyo
and Anchorage, Alaska.
The table talk shifted to pens.
Somebody wanted to know why the
Reynolds pen is the subject of so
many jokes by professional gag
sters.
"That," said Mr. Lamb, "is simple.
We send them pens every week."
Thurman Arnold, former Court
of Appeals justice here and more
recently attorney for the pen firm
in litigation against a rival com
pany, commented that if Mr. Reyn
olds is forced down over the ocean,
he should have a good opportunity
to prove his product writes under
water. *
Some one noted the plans call
for only Mr. Reynolds, a pilot and
engineer to make the flight in an
A-26 twin-engine ex-Army bomber.
He wanted to know who was to be
the navigator.
"Weil," said Mr. Lamb, "Milt Is
going to do the navigating. You
know he's flown the Atlantic nine
times, and he holds the flying rec
ord for businessmen."

House Fund Deposits
Insurance Ordered
The House Sergeant-at-Arms was
armed v.ith Congressional authority
today to insure his office further
against theft, misplacement or
"mysterious unexplainable disap
pearance" of funds left on deposit
by House members.
A $140,000 shortage found earlier
this year In accounts of the banking
section of that office led to the in
dictment of former Sergeant-at
Arms Kenneth Romney on charges
of filing false reports and otherwise
concealing the condition of funds
In the office. Romney Is scheduled
to go on trial this month in Dis
trict Court here.
On motion of Chairman Le
Compte of the Committee on House
Administration, the House gave im
mediate passage yesterday to his
resolution allowing the present Ser
geant-at-Arms, William P. Russell,
to "protect the funds" of his office
by purchasing $150,000 insurance.
The protection, according to the
LeCompte bill. Is against loss from
"dishonesty of employes, Interior
burglary and robbery, messenger
service, forgery, misplacement, mys
terious unexplainable disappearance
and destruction."
