Noted Air Ace Retires
One More
Flight-
Then Farewell
KINGSFORD-SMITH ́ TO END AIR RACING
Los Angeles, Sept: 25. SIR CHARLES KINGSFORD SMITH, Australia's air hero, will retire from active flying this year-but he plans one final gesture as a farewell to aviation.
This will be a flight from Eng- land to Australia.
"I've reached an age," Sir Charles said to-day, "when 7,000 flying hours in 19 years beckon me to take my place in the de- velopment of mail and passenger air services. It has been my
| ambition; for some time to
enter commercial aviation..
"I am done with making fast time or breaking records. I shall make one more flight from London to Melbourne-and then finish."
Asked what he considered the hardest fights of his career, Bir Charles replied: "Those from England, to Australia were the hardest that is, physically. They were the most tiring. Those be- tween the United States and Aus- tralin required more akili and possibly were the most dangerous."
Sir Charles aald he intended to devote himself to perfecting a re- gular nir service between Aus- tralia and New Zealand.
He denied that his England- Australia light would be an at- tempt on the exlating record, but certain of his friends here belleve that this is, in fact, his secret fre tention.
Sir Charles will shortly fly his "Lady Southern Cross" across the United States and ship her to London in readiness for the flight,

--Alexander Korda
New York, Oct. 1.
[R. ALEXANDER KORDA, the London film director, who returns to England next week after a visit to Hollywood, has caused a stir by his vigorous championing of the British film industry.
"I think that within three years, or perhaps two, the British film industry will be as great in production and earning power as the American film industry," he told New York reporters.
"It stands to reason that a city Fin England which is a spiritual and cultural centre of a great
| Empire will develop this great art on the same scale ns it did great literary figures."
Mr. Korda was willing to con- code Hollywood nothing in the matter of sunlight.
"The sun shines for five months of the year in England," he said, "and the British sunlight is just us lovely, as the American sun- light."

6 HOURS ADRIFT IN RUNAWAY RED AIRSHIP
Moscow Sept. 30.
A wild six hour ride in a run- away dirigible, which was torn from its moorings in a violent storm, was the fate of nine Soviet workers of Stalino city who had been invited to visit the airship.
A sudden storm ripped away the elghteen posts to which the dirigi- ble V-2 was fastened at the airport, and the rising ship shook off the ground crew of forty who clung to the mooring ropes.
Three of the ground crew were carried aloft, but two of them lot go of the ropes and were slightly injured in falling to the ground. The third managed to climb up into the gondola of the airship.
Five of the dirigible's crew were in the gondola with the visitors, and, fortunately, managed to con- trol the airship In the high wind. They were unable to land the dirigible until 3 a.m., after having spent six hours in the air.
The ground crew sent up rockets and flares and lit bonfires to guide the airship.
