JOHNSTOWNERS GIVE MENOHER SILVERSERVICE Biggest Crowd Sproul Ever -Saw in State Greets the Rainbow Commander By Associated Press Johnstown, Pa., Feb. 6.—Johns town, with all the mills, mines and shops closed, turned out what Gov ernor William C. Sproul described as the greatest crowd he had ever seen in a Pennsylvania city yester day in honor of the homecoming, of a native son, Major General Charles T. Menoher, commander of the Rainbow Division, and now in charge of the air service of the United States. General Menoher, in accepting d silver service at ceremonies attend ed by thousands, said he did so be cause he felt that Johnstown was honoring his mother, aged 80, rath er than himself. Three army air planes did "stunts" when the spe cial train bearing the general and the Governor arrived here. One of the three, developing motor trou ble while flying low, dived over a bridge and into the sand and rocks at the junction of the Conemaugh and Stony Creek rivers. Neither the flyer nor his passenger was seri ously injured. The aviators drop ped a message to General Menoher when the train pulled into the Johnstown station.
