A former Des Moines woman has just presented her late first husband's aviation trophies, books, scrapbooks, etc., to the Smithsonian Institution where they will be cataloged in his name as the Eddie Schneider Memorial Library. Eddie Schneider, who was killed in a 1940 plane crash at New York when he was 33, was a veteran of transcontinental speed races, winner of the Great Lakes trophy, and one of four American leaders of the Yankee squadron that fought for loyalist Spain. Schneider's widow, now Mrs. Grant Black of Fort Worth, Texas, was Gretchen Hahnen of Des Moines, daughter of Mrs. Zora M. Hahnen, 2915 Logan.
