The effects of the tremendous ex- pansion of commercial aviation activ- {itles In the United States have been keenly felt by the Army Air Corps dur- ing the past year, it is shown by the annual report of Maj. Gen. James E. Fechet, chief of the corps, to the Sec- retary of War, made public last night. Due to the increased interest in avia- tion, the caliber of flying cadets enrolled at the primary flying schools has been greatly improved and approximately 70 per cent of the cadets entering the July 1 classes were college graduates. Pros- pects for the betterment of the commis- sioned personnel situation in the Army Air Corps during the coming year are bright, Gen. Fechet reported. The number of enlisted pilots, how- ever, has steadlly decreased, due pri. marily to the fact that increased com- mercial flying activities have made it Possible for these men to obtain better Ppay in civil life or in other Government aviation agencies and there is danger of the small corps of enlisted pilots dis- appearing completely. It is recommend- | ed that the status of flying cadets be improved by legislation. Too Few Flight Surgeons. Gen. Fechet declares that the num- ber of flight surgeons on duty with the Air Corps is “totally inadequate” to handle the business of the corps, as the work required of them has trebled since 1921, without any material increase in the personnel to handle the work. The total number of physical examinations for the fiscal year numbered about 10,~ 000, Gen. Fechet reported, with anly 58 flight surgeons available to perform Qrent advances in radio communica- tions have been made possible through the use of a three-motored C-2 Fokker laboratory at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, General Fechet reported.

IGUN VICTIM LINKED INBIGTIN" DEATH [Two Other Theories Held in| | Murder of Chicago Union | Officer. | | By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 17.-Three‘ theories based on speculation alone | | were evolved by police tonight to ac- | count for the assassination of John G.| | Clay, secretary and treasurer of the | Laundry and Dye House Drivers' and | ’chauflcun Union, who was shot and | killed last night in union headquerters. | The killing, police believed, was in | ‘rcvenge for the slaying of “Big Tim" | Murphy, or it was the act of Olay's| | encmies in. his own union or the first | gesture of a rival organization trying | o “muscle in” on Clay's power nnd? | Influence. No arrests have been made. Au-| thoritles admitted they were worklng‘ ‘Ilthnut any tangible clues to support | any of iheir theories. Clay was shot' to death by several men who fired headqulrl.era with pistols and shotguns through a| plate gl window of the union of- ceg le men escaped in an auto- moblile wlbhout being seen. A coroner’s | uest today was continued without | dmlonlnz any clues. [ Police recalled, however, that Clay "mg Tim” Murphy, former laboi leader, racketeer and mail robber, us | shut to death in his own dooryard a | few months ago. “Big Tim," it was| reported, was contemplating entering | the clennlng and dyeing field and had .enooun‘:.‘fl;ed opposition from those al- By the Associated Press. read; The other theories that enemies | within his organization had killed- Clay | | or that those wanting to take over his power and infiuence had removed him were supported by the fact that the| various cleaning and dyeing organiza- tions recently had engaged in several disputes over their power and the field in_which each should operate. Edward F. Nockels, secretary of the Chlcagn Federation of Labor, charged that Clay was killed by persons wanting | to seize $250,000 he said was in the | | treasury of the Laundry Drivers' Union. | Clay, he declared, was not a racketeer, but a member of a recognized union and had been engaged in union labor organization work for years. }hl})h Capone, younger brother of | “Scarface Al” Capone, was sought for | questioning tonight by the police, who said he may be the key man in solving | the myswry ‘The younger Capone often _has been seen around Clay's ILLINOIS MAY KEEP ILLEGAL TAX MONEY | had been mentioned as a suspect lhen State Cannot BC Sued for Gas Pro- ceeds, Says Court, Citing Constitution. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, November 17.— | Circuit Judge Briggle today ruled that the State should keep more than! $6,000,000 collected under a gasoline tax law before it was declared unconsti- tutional. ‘The decision was in the case brought by two score gasoline companies, seek- ing a refund of the money they had paid to the State while the law was operative. The essence of Judge Briggle's ruling | | was that the State, under the constitu- | tion, could not be sued. and that money may be taken from the State tr2asury only by legislative appropriation. The present litigation, in which more | than 40 ol companies were involved, was based entirely on points of law and no testimony was taken. Besides the cases in Circuit Court, several are pending in Federal courts. Illinois’ 2-cent gasoline tax was held uncunstltutlonal by the Supreme Court had been operative seven Once Again a Sensational Si gmunds UNDERSELLING i« DEMONSTRATION Underselling \Winter Lavishly Demonstration Fur - Trimmed and Beautifully Made and Regularly A Super Value in Newest Feminine in Sigmund’s ‘Main Shoe Sketched A snappy 1la toe pump wit smart hish heel. $3.95 Scores of Other New Footwear Styles $2.95 to $4.95 Women's Novelty Low Shoes in an assortment to fit every purse and purpose.
