Morrow-Tait
Still In Trouble
WASHINGTON, (£»)—American
officials are keeping an eye on
the globe-circling flight of Mrs.:
Richarda Morrow-Tait, they said |
yesterday, because of aviation
regulations involved.
The British woman flier has ap
plied for an export license for her
American-made plane, but the li
cense has not yet been issued.
Meanwhile she has flown to To
ronto from Chicago, with the an
nounced intention of taking off
for Britain later via Greenland
and Iceland.
Officials said the flight to Can
ada could be authorized by a sim
ple permit, but that the plane
could not be flown across the At
lantic without violating regula
tions. It was described as a B-13A
two-passenger trainer-type craft.
Her arrival in Toronto from
Chicago was unexpected. Officials
said. They had understood she was
going by way of Buffalo and
there obtain customs clearance
and other necessary papers before
proceeding.
Customs officials indicated they
were not disposed to take any ac
tion in the matter.
BUFFALO, N. Y. (/P) — Mrs.
Richarda Morrow-Tait, the British
housewife on a globe-circling
flight, has arrived here—by train
—to raise funds for her air trip
home.
She came here yesterday from
Toronto, Ont., where she landed
after taking off at Chicago last
Saturday. She said before leaving
Chicago that her next stop would
be Buffalo but told hewsmen yes
terday that “engine trouble”
forced her down at Toronto.
“Also, there was a bit of a de
partmental mixup at Chicago,”
she added. She apparently refer
red to a ruling by the civil aero
nautics authority grounding her
BT-13 war surplus trainer plane
because she did not hold a certifi
cate of airworthiness for it.
Mrs. Morrow-Tait has said she
intends to return to Britain later
via Greenland and Iceland. She
started her global trip last August
18.
Negro Chauffeur
Will Inherit Rich
White Wife’s Estate
LOS ANGELES, (/Pi—Last Jan
uary, Mrs. Odriana Eugenie Nich
olson, thrice-widowed and 90.
married her young Negro chauf
feur because “I want him to have
my property. I don’t have long to
live.”
She died Saturday at her home
here.
Her husband, Allan L. G.
Woods, 28, said of her yesterday,
“Mommy had been ill for years
but it was pneumonia that finally
took her away—she was a great
woman, a great woman.”
The inter-racial marriage li
cense issued to Woods and the
white woman was one of the first
after the California supreme court
ruled such marriages were legal.
Woods wheeled his intended bride
to the license bureau three times
before the license was granted.
The third time she brought a phy
sician’s statement that she under
stood the step she was taking.

Red Sailors
Warneil Of Spies
MOSCOW, i/P) — A recent lead
editorial in “Red Fleet" told Sov
iet sailors to beware of foreign
spies.
The editorial declared that
“agents of foreign intelligence
services are attempting to obtain
varied information; in particular,
information on the armed forces
of our country.” It said that the
“very character of military serv
ice obliges every soldier, sailor
and officer to be always watchful
and on guard.”
“Red Fleet” added that “for en
emy agents any—even the most
insignificant information—has in
terest” and explained that “from
details the large picture is built
up.”
“Red Fleet” declared that “en
emy agents especially are on the
lookout for people who are mor
ally unstable and who are syco
phantic before things foreign, for
slipshod persons and gossips.”
The enemy, the paper said, uses
widely the weapon of “bourgeois
cosmopolitanism” attempting to
! weaken Soviet people and under
' mine their Soviet patriotism.
It is a mistake, 'declared the
I editorial, to think that only when
' a salior is on watch must he be on
! the lookout. He must all the time
