| Sept. 27, 1948. He was on his way
I to West Palm Beach — but hadn’t

wife got alarmed because she had
not heard from him. A telephone
call to relatives at West Palm
Beach disclosed that he hadn't
arrived
old man got out He came over and
watched with great interest
Finally he put his umbrella
against the side of the fuselage and
without too much of s push—shov- |
ed s foot of it through the canvas.
The pilot picked up s wrench,
walked over to the mans car,
knocked the lens out of one of the
headlights and looked carefully In-
side Then he walked back and
started working on his engine
again.
The car owner got his umbrella
climbed back in his limousine and
drove off.
Not s word was apoken by eith-
