RECEPTION IS HELD FOR BISHOP YU-PIN

Prelate Arrives To Express Chiang's Gratitude to Baltimore
Will Deliver Generalissimo's Message At Rice for China Party Tonight

Accompanied by one of the most distinguished groups of Chinese ever to visit Baltimore, the Most Reverend Paul Yu-Pin, Bishop of Nanking and personal representative of Pope Pius XII in China, arrived here yesterday afternoon to express to the city the gratitude and appreciation of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.

Appointed by the leader of the armed forces of Nationalist China to carry his thanks to those who have contributed relief funds for the millions of homeless and suffering in China, the prelate will deliver his message tonight at the Rice-for-China party to be given at the Alcazar.

Aviatrix In Party
With him were Miss Hilda Yen, Chinese aviatrix; Prof. Tchang Shan-tse, called China's foremost artist; George Mook, of Boston, national president of Chinese patriotic societies in the United States, and a group of Chinese students attending American universities and colleges, all of them related to China's most prominent families.

Miss Ya Ching Lee, the first woman flyer ever permitted to give a public demonstration in China, was absent. En route to Baltimore by airplane, she was grounded at Pittsburgh by weather conditions. She advised the local committee she would arrive either this morning or late this afternoon.

Motored From Alabama 
Miss Yen, who cracked up recently in Alabama and who has been out of a hospital only a week, motored here from Montgomery to take part in tonight's party, the program for which will include the first Chinese revue ever presented in this city.

Mayor Jackson sent a telegram regretting he could not greet the guests. He explained that Mrs. Jackson was ill and that he could not get away. Richard C. O'Connell, president of the City Council, with Jack A. Clarke and Dr. Chao Ming Chen, chairman and vice-chairman, respectively of the party committee, and Bock Ark, president of the Consolidated Chinese Associations of Baltimore, greeted the visitors at the Southern Hotel.

Mrs. Holloway There
In the receiving line was Mrs. Reuben Ross Holloway, patriot and guardian of the flag, who for once was stumped on flag procedure. She conceded she did not know the proper way to hang the Chinese flag when her attention was drawn to Boy Scout Troop No. 124, the only Chinese troop in the city, which acted as a guard of honor to the bishop.

A committee of clergy headed by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Hugh J. Monaghan (continued on Page 5, Column 8)
received the bishop. Artists and sculptors led by Louis Rosenthal and Miss Mildred Kaplan, sculptors, [[took?]] Prof. Tchang Shan-Tse in charge.

After the reception the local Chinese entertained their guests from out of town and local American friends at tea. Tea imported from China, rice cakes and bon bons were served.

The bishop then went to a conference that preceded a dinner given at a Fayette street restaurant at 8 P.M.

China's Woman Ace Luncheon Guest Honored for Her Successful Good Will Fight.

New York's air-minded women are celebrating today the return to this city of China's ace woman flier, Miss Ya-ching Lee, who has just completed a 20,000-mile good-will flight over the United States. The Women's International Association of Aeronautics, Which is giving her a luncheon today at the Hotel Bossert in Brooklyn, has been watching her flight with keen interest, according to Mrs. Jessie Chamberlin, its New York president.

Miss Lee spent three months on her flying tour. She visited forty American and Canadian cities in her black-and-red plane with crossed Chinese and American flags painted on its body, and she made more speeches than she likes to remember. "About sixty-seven speeches, I think it was," she said today. "And," she added, "I would much rather fly through a heavy fog than make a speech."

She is not through with speech-making, however, for she is to be one of the guests of honor at the annual banquet of the National Federation of Press Women on Monday night at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Except for the speeches, Miss Lee was enthusiastic about her trip. She went, she said, "to thank the American people for their generosity to China." One admirer gave her $5,000 for relief in China. He insisted upon remaining anonymous, Miss Lee said. But she admitted that he was young and handsome.

She flew under the auspices of the Bishop Paul Yu-pin, who is in this country as a special envoy of the Chinese National Government Relief Commission.

Miss Ya-ching Lee, China's ace woman flyer.
