$40 FOR BERT
CHERBOURG!!. France, Dec.. 4, j
(ZP)--Bert Acosta, the flier, has $40 :
waiting for him here. A misunder- ,
standing resulting when he landed
at an airfield without a permit last
summer caused him to deposit 1,000
francs as a good faith garuntee.
Since then the courts have settled
the matter, leaving the flier $40
credit.
