Aithough complete figures for the fiacal year which ended June 30 ar not yet available, Mr. Johnson today predicied that the total immigration into the United States for the year will than reach the half-million mark —the largest number of admissions since enactment of the immigration act in 1924, Says Alien Pressure Continues. “I have just received figures for 11 monthg of the fiscal year,” Mr. John- | xon said, “leading me to believe that practically all quotas have been filled and that non-immigrant and mon- quota immigrant classes have heen than ever before. The pres- sure of foreign peoples to enter this country continues.” The ‘influx of Canadians is moving along established lines, Johnson said, with approximately 2,000 arriving each vear. The movement of Mexi cans is increasing. Both nationalities come exempt from the quofa. 65,000 Enter Annually. “The final figures probably will show that more than 63,000 Mexicans came into the United States to reside permanently during this year,” Mr. Johnson declared. “This ‘is an in- crease of ahout 7,000 over the previous vear. And illegal entries from Mexico are probably twice the legal entries. Mr. Johnson called attention to & considerable increase in admission of mequota classes, estimating that the vear will show a 40 per cent increase in admission of wives of Amerlcan cltizens and a 65 per cent increase of admission of children of citizens.

While Lieut.

On his behalf the National Aero- | nautic Association formally re- | quested the Aero Club of Ttaly, pro- moters of the 1927 seaplane classic, to postpone the date of the event for 30 | days in order to make Lieut. Wil- liams' presence possible. The asso- ciation has been supported in this re- quest by Comdr. Silvio Scaroni, air | attuche of the Italian embassy. No | official word has heen received to date | of the club's action on the request, | although rumors are current in New York that the application either has been denied or ignored. Accident Is Common. s not com- | tivities known frater- | The incident surrounding the dam- age to the propellor is not a new one it was sald at the Bureau of Aero nautics today. Seaplanes, hoth large and small, have experienced damage to the propellors as they beat through spray sent by pontoons as the eraft plowed through the water on the take- off. 1t was said that Lieut. Williams probably could use the same pontoons that now are attached to the plan and avoid a_repetition of vesterda trouble by placing meta! strips, calied “spray strips,” across the underpart of the floats.at the nose. Carl K. Schory, secretary of the con- test committee of the National Aero- nautic Association, who will supervise the first speed triuls of the plane, re ceived a telegram from Williams to- : “Will wire you when to} come the latter part of the week." No | details of the delay were given and Schory took this to mean the plane | will he veady for its maiden flight at | an eal date. Plane Privately Backed. | The racing plane profect was inl- tiated by Williams after the Army and | Navy Alr Services withdrew from such competitions that involve the design and construction of planes not used in regular service. The project is backed | by private subscription, but the Nav has given the pilot assistance of var ous degrees from the beginning. The originai plan of Williams was to build a rucer that would bring back to this country the high-speed records for | both land and seaplanes, and the op. portunity to enter the Schneider tro- phy contést did not come until the Navy several months sigo withdrew from further competition, after this country had won two of the three “legs.”" A victory this year means per- manent possession of the coveted tro- phy. Lieut. Williams has not abandoned his original plan to recapture the speed records for a straightaway | course of three kilometers. As his | plane is the only modern racing craft | in this country, he was prevailed | upon hy aeronautical enthusiasts to enter the Schneider events. The tional Aeronautic Association made three blank entries last April, but did not reveal the individuals in mind. This, however, was Nnot necessary, as by their formal application for three places in the contest Lieut. Williams, ! should he get across, will be taken care of. Eager for Race Trial. n 1 for Lo N I it Those familiar with the detailed plans of the project are particularly anxious that Lieut. Williams get to While in fastest in the world today. there is very little improvement the design of his craft over the Army and Navy racers, from the viewpoint_ of making it faster, the presence of the Packard “X" engine, capable of developing about 1.230 horsepower, is the feature of the ship upon which all hopes cling. This engine has 24 cylinders and is the i most powerful ever installed in any plane of any type in the world. As a land plane, it is believed fhe Williams racer can travel considerably in excess of 300 miles an hou a8 a seaplane, it is thought that the pontoons will hold its speed within several miles this side of the 300-mil> mark. No one, not even Lieut. Wii- liams himself, will know the maximum speed of this craft until after the Schneider race, if he succeeds in get- ting abroad. His speed trials at Port Washington are mot planned for the purpose of breaking the existing record of 258 miles an hour for seaplanes, which was made by an ltallan pilot and an italian plane at Norfolk last Novem- ber, but to get an accurate account of ‘the éupabilities of the plane in flight. Lieut. Williams, in the forth- coming test flights, does not plan to “uncork” all of his tremendous horse- powar, but just enough to slide him over the 238 mile-an-hour mark. This record, incidentally, is credited to the United States, although foreign tie tha hy it n not have to the great horsepower of the engine the propellor was built_especially for |t by of Pittsh that a reserve propellor was out at the xame time and that in event the principal one cannot great delay will he nec .

Can the trap drummer in an orches- | - | tra or the pianist who plays snappy | Jazz of tunes to the accompaniment moaning saxophones he musician® a| laborer | The American feration of Musi 1 cians claims he is a laborer or a work. er, unless he has some establishment and known reputation as an artist, it he comes from a point outside the United States, and that if he has been brought to thiz country under-contract to display his art (or work), he clearly falls within the provision of the con- tract labor law and should be ex- cluded. . Theodore G. Risley, solicitor for the Labor Department, must make a de- cision as to whether all musicians are artists and will let it be known in a few days, in a test case instituted by the musicians’ federation against the Carlton MHotel Co. of Washington, which has replaced an American jazz orchestra with one from Europe. Joseph N. Weber, president of the Federation of Musicians, claims in a briet filed today with the Labor De- partment that some musicians, es-! Dflecirde Whether Musicians t Ordinary Laborers pecially jazz players. are “laborers and therefore come under the restr tions of the labor and immigration laws. He claims that if they have been hired to appear in the United States with the understanding that they will be paid to display their “art in this country after coming from a foreign land they should he excluded under the contract labor law. which specifically bars lahorers or workers coming to the United States under contract for emplovment here. The only are those having obvious genius, such as Kreisler and Heifetz, Paderewski and others of like distinction. The Labor Department, in a pre- liminary answer, held that orchestra players are artists and should be per- mitted free entry .as visitors to the United States without regard to the contract labor law. A lower court several years ago ruled that to fall under the provisions of the contract \labor law the imported “laborer” must perform manual labor. Which puts the intricate question up to the Labor Department solicitor as . to whether the trap drummer or the jazz piano player performs manual or intellec- tual labos. Tnapector Henry M.
