National Affairs: Dinner Appointment

U. S. Representative Fiorello H. La Guardia, talkative New York Republican, had a dinner engagement with U. S. Representative William Leighton Carss of Minnesota, at Duluth. The day came and Representative La Guardia was still in New York. Representative La Guardia got into an airplane and in few hours, whizzing westward, was looking down on the sprawling metropolygon that is Chicago. Landing for fuel at Chicago’s municipal airport, Representative La Guardia’s plane hit a rut, upended, shook up Representative La Guardia and his pilot, broke a propeller and a dinner engagement.
