| Ar GREAT ARMADA OF 672 AIRPLANES 70 PLY IN FORMATION Spectacular Maneuvers Will Draw Airships From All Over United States DATES ARE MAY 15 to JUNE 1 ‘Attacks’ and Demonstrations Over Several Large Cities Among Features Washington, April 2—(NEA)—Late in May the air will be full of great roaring and the sky so thick with military aircraft that America will have some idea of what a next war would be like with hundreds of planes dashing to defend the North Atlantic seaboard. Six hundred and seventy-two ships of the Army Air Corps—pursuit Planes, bombers, attack planes, trans- Ports and observation planes—will converge from over the country in anj unprecedentedly huge concentration | for annual maneuvers in the area from Maine to Virginia and as far west as Chicago. About. 75,000,000 persons will have a chance to see army planes en route, the War Department estimates. The} ships will fly a total of about 2,000,000 miles; the territory of every state will | be crossed by one or more units. About 89 airports will be visited for | an overnight stop or fuel as the Planes fly toward the first concen- tration point at Dayton, O. 672 Planes Over New York There will be demonstrations or Mock attacks at Chicago, Boston, ‘Washington, Philadelphia and other points, but the big show is billed for New ‘York on May 23, culminating 1n j @ procession of the entire armada Here’s Program of Aerial Maneuvers May 15—National Guard planes assemble at Wright Field, Day- ton, O.

Fly- ing in tight formation at about 100} mtiles an hour, the head of this great division will be over Governor's Island while the rear is still over the Bronx. The air procession will require about 20 minutes to pass a given point. The New York phase of the ma- neuvers will be broadcast to the country by the two big national radio chains. After many months of careful prep- aration for the mass aerial movement the first member planes of the di- vision will arrive at Wright Field, Dayton, on May 15. These will be the national guard squadrons, to form two groups—or one wing—and they will spend two days practicing forma- tion flying. On Sunday, May 17, the regular army flying units will arrive | at Wright Field by groups. The army planes will shower down | from Selfridge Field in Michigan, Langley Field in Virginia, Rockwell Crissey and Mather Fields in Califor- nia, Fort Crockett, Fort Sam Houston and Kelly Field in Texas, Mitchel Field on Long Island, Scott Field in Illinois, Fort Sill in Oklahoma and Maxwell Field in Alabama. 300 Planes Visit Chicago Formation and combat practice will In this striking composite picture, showing New York’s famous skyline, the artist shows how the 672 army planes that are to fly over New York May 23 could virtually darken the skies if massed over that city. However, they are to fly in tight military formation at 100 miles an hour, the long procession requiring 20 minutes to pass a given point. At the right is Brigadier Gener&] | Benjamin D. Foulois, assistant chief of the army air corps, who will command the great aerial “attack” on the nation’s largest city. ;Tepetition of the dltack Staged over | New York. A group of. planes will be i sent by way of New Hampshire and Vermont to “attack” Portland and Bangor, Me. The 672 planes will return to Mitchell Field, reforming at Albany and West Point and again flying over New York in full formation on May 26. Demonstrations will follow over Jersey City on May 27 and Philadel- phia, Camden and Baltimore on May 29 while moving into the Washington, D. C., area. A final grand demonstration will be held over the national capital on Me- | morial Day and by Monday, June J,! all units will be en route to their home stations. Many Improvements Made F. Trubee Davison, assistant secre- tary of war for air, has pointed out that the army's planes represent the latest developments in aviation im- provement. In two years the high speed of pursuit planes has increased | from 165 to 192 miles:an hour and their combat ceiling has-been raised from 21,000 to 30,000 feet. They carry | larger guns, spitting 50-calibre bullets | which are only as large as a man's finger but strike with force greater | than that of a five-ton weight. Other | types of planes are also faster and etter, as a result of, i sive appli- cation. of improvemer the last | couple of years. Although the maneuvers are in the nature of a big spectacular show and so planned as to impress tens of mil- , lions of citizens, it is p6tfted out that iit has become vitally necessary for the Air Corps to test its technical and tactical theories. with Jarge units somewhat comparable in-size to those | which would be used in a war defense. Every available piece of equipment will be used in the May maneuvers except training planes and it is esti- | mated that of the 672 planes only about 450 actual combat planes could be promptly mustered in an emer- gency. The maneuvers are expected to solve many problems of tactics, or- ganization, equipment, supply, ground faciliti radio communication per- sonnel, airport availability and other exist when applied to the operations of such a large force. 50 FILE FOR LOANS Atlantic City, Trenton, Newark andj subjects on which only theories now | 'AGENTS ANNOUNCE. | SEIZURE OF HUGE NARCOTICS CARGO More Than Ton of Opium, Val- ued Roughly at $412,000, Is Confiscated | New York, April 2.—(#)—Federal valued roughly $412,000. largest ever made in this district. Abraham Goodman, alleged pro- prietor of the A. B. Trucking com- pany, in whose offices the narcotics were found, was arrested. Agents said they believed he was connected with the same ring as Al Spitzer and Abe Stein, who were indicted last month. The raid was the culmination of a Jong investigation hy the federal nar- cotic bureau. Agents’ became suspicious about large cases labelled “hides and skins” which were taken into the Hudson street establishment. Some of the narcotics were found in containers covered with skins. Recently authorities arrested sev- eral_men charging they were involved in a $500,000 ring which created its own market by sending represent- atives to “taxi” dance halls to teach young men and women to use nar- cotics. No connection between this | ring and today’s arrests was estab- lished. Indians Will Enact Christ’s Crucifixion Tucson, Ariz.

Olson Thursday. signed the trunk highway bond bill which per- mits the highway department to is- sue $5,414,000 in bonds this year and $10,000,000 next year. The money raised will be spent mainly on paving roads and in im- proving highways throughout the state. The chief executive in signing the bill issued a statement explaining his stand. He pointed out the principal benefit of the bond issue at this time Hes in relief of unemployment and asserted the bonds will not become a direct tax on real estate. The house passed the. measure Tuesday after a warm debate by a vote of 73 to 57. It passed the sen- ate a week previous. Charles M. Babcock, state commis- sioner of highways, stated the bond issue will be the last he ever will ask the state to support. “T appreciate the fact that many people are fundamentally oppcsed to any kind of a bond. issue,” Governor Olson said in his statement, “but I believe the bond issue for highway construction purposes, provided for in the bill which I have signed today will be of great benefit to the people of the state and without detriment to the taxpayers. “The people themselves approved the bond issue when they ratified the constitutional amendment which provides for our trunk highway sys- tem and permits the, issuance of bonds.” \ TO HOLD CONVENTION | Hazelton, N.
