CECIL AND GIBSON | CONFER ON BRITISH "I CRUISER PROPOSAL| (Continued from First Pag proposals on the cruiser tonnage ques- tion had been received from Am- bassad son, who heads the A ican delegation. Various cablegrams frem the Am- bassador were considered by the two Secretaries, but there was no indica tion that they included any concrete Pproposa although Geneva press dispatches dis- closed that a compromise plan of some sort has been put forward informally by the Byitish spokesman. In the absence of an official report in this connection, admi tration authorities refused to discuss the merits of the new plan, which, .s pictured by nre; observers, % mum cruiser tonnage figure of 400.000 tons, with restrictions on the propor- tion for ships of the 10,000-ton treaty size to which the British are opposed. Officials here seemed a little more hopeful of a successful outcome for the conference, not:only because of the British attitude, but also because they feit that the original plan for 2 plenary session of the conference yesterday, at a time when the delega- tions e all been working under heavy n' for three weeks, was filled with greatest danger of a breakdown. With another day or two of rest and reflection possible over the week end, Washington officials were optimistic that the critical stage will have passed when the plenary session is convened and that a road to negotiation of a mutually satisfactory understanding on the cruiser dispute will then be found. AUTO TAGS REMOVED. Coombs Follows Efficiency Body’s Hint in Special Report. Wade H. Coombs, superintendent of licenses of the District, today cleared the first floor corridors of the District Building of scores of boxes containing automobile license plates which have been stored there since their arrival from the manufacturer about three months ago. The storage of the tags in the cor- ridors was criticized as *‘untidy” hy the Federal Bureau of Efficiency, which submitted a special report on the subject to the Commissioners last week.

In military flying the objective is not so much the covering of distances as the achieving of a_useful purpo: that actually to fly to a certain destination, carrying out the mission for which the flight was made. and mechanical equipment. Gasoline mo- tors of the most improved type must be minutely inspected and, as Eric Nelson, navigator of the around-the- world flight says, “must be treated with loving care and kindness,” be- ause the slightest failure on the part of the mechanics or the pilot in handling the motors will cause the blowing of a valve, a leaky cylinder or a broken cam rod. which means the end of a flight of a long nature. 1 from the British delegation, | and memorial | See Radio Beacon As Aid.

Again we want to stress the fact that all flights of the nature of ours depend more upon the equipment and the study given to the project by the engineers than upon the piloting and navigating. In order that progress may be made in the development of commercial aviation, it must be borne in mind that too much care cannot be given to the equipment and the careful construction of airplanes to be used for either cargo or passen- ger transportation. Stress Need for Safety. Every distance flight, particularly over the ocean, should be surrounded with every possible factor of safety, and it is a serious mistake for an aviator, no matter what his persoral bravery may be, to take risks not justified by his equipment and by the cautions taken to reach him it he should have to make a forced landing. We realize this—and that is why we consider it a privilegé to have made the flight—that it would have been impossible to have obtained all the equipment and the airplane itself and the proper supepvision by trained personnel of this equipment if we had not been in the Army. We feel that nothing succeeds like success; and we hope, in addition to the military lessons we have learned by our flight, that indirectly we will be responsible for saving a number of lives of commercial pilots who are fearless and brave beyond reason and who might venture on a flight of a similar nature without proper equip- ment.

It is a universal solve and should it be dispensed with ent ly, it would be difficult, if not impo le, to find a satisfactory substitute. One of the greatest sources of graft in the prohibition department is in the inspection of alcohol for with- drawal. We will say that a corpora- | tion has a permit to withdraw 5,000 gallons of alcohol monthly for the manufacture of perfumery. Before re- celving it the manufacturer has to have his formula for the mixing of | oils with alcohol, %o it cannot be used for beverage purposes. approved by the chief chemist of the prohibition department. ! The work of the inspectors Is to see that the oils are mixed with the alco- | hol when it is withdrawn, as called | for by the formula. 1If the inspectors | have been bribed they do mnot watch the mixing and nothing is put into the alcohol. It is diverted divectly to a cutting plant, where it is made into | whisky. gin, etc. | er plan is to have the alcohol withdrawn in the usual way, then to in place of the alco- ginal containers and to | divert the alcohol to a cutting plan A third plan is to obtain a formu which allows the alcohol to be readily | cleaned and then to sell the mixed product directly to redist plants, where alcohol is speedily rid of the roreign ingredients.
