S. Abreast of Other Nations WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. —Emphasis is laid by Presi- dent Coolidge on the import- ance “of providing for con- tinued development of mili- tary and naval aviation if America ts to keep abreast of other nations” In ® special communication to congtess today transmitting the annual report of the national advis- dry committee for aeronautics. The president said he concurred in the committee's recommendations for continued scientific research work for aviation and establishment of a bureau of civil aeronautics in the department of commerce. ‘The committee's xeport. signed by Joseph S. Ames, chief of the exe- cutive committee, thus sums up its recommendation as to army and navy air developments: “Whatever may be the demands for ‘economy, serious consideration must be: given to the Increasing rel- ative. Importance of air craft in war- ress in aeronautics is being made at so rapid'a rate that the only way to keep abreast of other nations is actually to keep abreast, year by year, never falling behind.” The report said there had been # ‘gratifying increase in conduct of the science of aeronautics during the last year and that while the military air Services were not so large as those of other powers, “we are grad- ually forging ahead of other nations in our knowledge of aircraft.” A plea for continuation of this re- search work as the best insurance obtainable to prevent waste of funds in construction programs was coupled with the summary of what had already been accomplished. As- Surance of “reliable service at rea- sonable cost,” must be the founda- tion for commercial development of aviation, the report added, and pro- gress In this direction must be grad- ual. 3 “The present high cost factor, combined with the absence of im- proved national airways, constituted an economic barrier to the general application of aviation to commer- cial purposes,” the report said. i BOY INJURED IN AUTO SMASH REGUPERATNIG Harry Peterson, eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. EB.

Speeding on past caution signals in an attempt to gain 15 minutes’ lost time, the last section of New York Central’s crack “Twentieth Century Limited” crashed through a sleeping car at the end of the pre- ceding section, snuffing out nine lives and injuring scores of others, near here early Sunday morning. Among the dead was William E. ‘wild Bil" Donovan, veteran base- ball player, manager of the New Haven baseball club, who with a number of other baseball notables, including President John A.

At Albany the first of the three sections of the train experienced en- gine trouble and the second section ‘was ordered to go on. The first and the third pulled out 15 minutes late, train crews said. Near Forsyth the second section, now ieading. plowed through an automobile which had stalled on the grade crossing, whose occupants, three Pittsburgh men, W. 8. Strat- ford. C. H. Harney and B. Mater. had jumped to safety. As the next section pulled past the scene of the smash up, its crew noticed the flam- ing automobile and brought the train to @d stop to see {f Kelp could be rendered any of the occupants of the automobile. While the train was stopped the third section came thundering on through the blinding rain and heavy fog. The red warning flares and brakeman frantically waving his lantern a train length away were noticed too late by Engineer Charles Patterson of Cleveland, who was Piloting the on-rushing engine. The brakes were applied and the track sanded but the terrific momen- tum carried the limited on through the rear car of the standing train with such force that it over turned two other pullman sleepers, Their steel construction alone saved the lives of their occupants, the railroaa officials said. 505 broken Frank B.
