In his studio in West 57th Street. Major Post eagerly showed a cor- respondent the many mementos and relics of his flying career. and recalled the details 0f the balloon flight Into Quebec.

They started from St. Innis in the evening by the light of a full moon. Iihe following morning they passed over Lake Michigan. That. night they were over Lake Huron. enjoying the lights on the passen- ger boats and other sights. The tiext morning. flying over Canada, they saw the aurora borealis- "flashing tongues of greenish flames from the horizon to the zenith over our heads."

Where They Were

They came to a country covered by many small lakes and rivers. blanketed by mists which seemed to be rolling off their surfaces. The sun came out stronger and from below rose the sound of wood- chopplng. Shouting down through n megaphone. Post asked: "Say, where are we?"

The answering voice said: "You are 10 miles east of Lake Tinils- kanilng. Come down, boys, you are going into the wilderness and you will never come out alive." They looked for a landing place. but could see none. After they had been 46 hours in the air they were caught in an electrical storm which iiroige them to a forced landing on the side of a. mountain in the Sag- ueiiay range.

The balloon landed and immedi- ately was draped round a tree by the wind. The bag was torn. With night failing, the balioonists lash- ed their craft to the tree, drew a. tarpaulin over themselves and went

to sleep. "The next morning." said '

the major. "the storm had cleared away and it was sunny and bright."

They decided to walk in the direction of Roberviil, Que, the last town they remembered pass- ing. "We found nothing at the end of the tirst day of walking," the major continued, "and we lay down in the forest and slept. Our food rations rim out but we were up early the next morning and con- tinued walking until we came to the shores of a large lake, but it was not Lake St. John.

"We decided to travel in asouth- ei-n direction along the shore of the lake. sometimes crawling un- der great trees on the edge of the bank, sometimes walking through water up to our necks. For a week we kept going this way with prac- tically no food.

"Finally, Mr. Hawley said. ‘Post, I can't go any further. I'm going to stop in that little cave we Just passed and you go on.’ We went back to the cave, put down our blankets. built a fire and I made a little broth with the remains of some chicken bones we had.

"We thought. we were going to die in that cave, and we told each other what we naturally would at surii a time and finally fell asleep out. of sheer exhaustion.

"The next. day we were walking on when suddenly Mr. I-Iawiey dis- covered an old rusty shovel. A lit.- tle further on we saw a tent. ‘My God. this means salvation!’ said Hawley. In the tent. was a. sack of flour and a bag of beans. We cooked ourselves the first real meal in a week and slept that night un- der canvas.

"The next morning Mr. I-fawley went down to the edge of the lake to get some water. Almost out o! force of habit he called “Halloa. halioal‘ i-ieu been coins 1t all week without getting any answer.

New Deal In Idaho Contest

(AP. B Gll-Irdlm’: Special Win)

WASIhNG N. Aug. 11 — The defeat of Senator James P. Pope

y a Conservative Democrat n Idaho's Democratic primary gave United States Administration of. ficials a Jolt today not altogether offset by their gratification over thugl success of Senators Robert J. B kley and Hattie W. Caraway in Ohio and Arkansas.

The contast betlween Pope, ardent administration supporter and re- presentative D. Worth Clark. who

roclalmed that he was no admin. stratlon “yes man", had been car. cred by some as a test of the New Heat's uiarity in Idaho.

As a ouse of Representatives member, Clark opposed the govern- ment and court reorganization bills. He also has criticized administra- tion foreign policy.

Pope had not received any direct indication of favor from President Roosevelt as had Senators Bulkley and Caraway,

Bulkley won renomination by a 2 to 1 ma ority and Mrs. Caraway held a sustantial lead over t/wo opponents in late unofficial tabu- lations of the Arkansas vote.

Besides the Senate races, Wash- ington politicians followed closely the Democratic governor's contest in Ohio. where Governor Martin L. Davey. seeking renomination, was defeated by Charles Sawyer.

There was speculation about how great a part t e committee for in- dustrial organization pla ed in the defeat of Davey. The la r organ- ization lined up behind Sawyer be- cause of Dewey's use of troops in the “little steel" strike of last surn- mer.

Robert A. Taft Cincinnati law- yer and son of l-‘resident William Howard Taft, was nominated by the Republicans to oppose Butkle ,

twinning over Arthur H. Day, Oho Supreme Court Justice.

Nebraska Democrats renominat- ed Governor R. L. Cochran for an unprecedented third term in the days fourth primary. Charles J. Warner. farmer and speaker ofpthe legislature, won the Republican nomination.

Pensions Mean Vi: Many Millions To Older Folk‘

OTTAWA, Aug. 11 —-(CP)-'I‘Iia Dominion treasury paid out $28.- 524587 in old-age pensions for the ﬁscal year ended March 31, figures obtained from the ﬁnance depart- ment here dlsclosed. The Domin- ion pays 75 per cent of the pen- sions so the pensioners received somewhat above $38,000,000.

This was a considerable increase from the year before when the Dominica's contribution was $21. 149,351. Some of the increase was due to a greater number of old people claiming the pensions last year but it was also attributable b0 this being the first full year that. Quebec and New Brunswick had old-age pension schemes in oper- atlon.

New Brunswick started its pen- sions on July 1, 1936. and Quebec on Aug. 1, I936. When the scheme started in these provinces there was a rush of applications which cluttered the receiving offices and accordingly many of the payments had to be made retroactive. These payments also appear in last. year's ﬁgures although really applying to the late months of 1936.

In Canada all provinces now are under the old-age pension scheme for persons over 70. They are en- titled to $20 a month if their pri- vate income does not exceed $125 a year. If the private income is above that, the pensioner is entitled to enough to give him or her $365 a year.

Payments Uniform

Pension payments are uniform throughout Canada. This differs from practice in the United States where each State decides the monthly pensions to persons over 65. Under social security legisla- tion the Federal treasury at Wash- ington supplies half the amount of the pensions paid in each State with the proviso that in no case shall the Federal share be over $15 a month. states that pay $35 a month have to supply $20 monthly themselves.

In Canada all the cost of admin- istering the fund must be paid by the provinces.

At the close of the last fiscal yea: the total number of old-age pensioners in Canada was 175.875. Following are the numbers of pen- sioners in each province with the percentage of pensioners to the total number of persons over 70 in the province In brackets: Alberta. 0,728 (52.83 per cent); British Col- umbia, 11.563 (42.55); Manitoba, 11,800 (52.70); New Brunswick, 11.- 142 (50.61); Nova Scotia, 13,827 150.66); Ontario, 57.530 (35.16); Prince Edward Island. 1.811 (31.07): Quebec. 46.490 (48.37); Saskatche- wan, 11,775 153.35); NorthwestTer- ritorles. 9 (7-44)-
