"THE "EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C, FRIDAY, AERIAL PROGRESS * TOLD BY CALVER “Flying Realtor” Ou_tlines Strides Being Made in De- velopment of Aviation. ‘Tremendous strides being jnade In development of aviation in the United | ibed last night by | State were desc Harry H. Culver, the “flying” president of the National Association of Real Es- tate Boards, in addressing the local| realty board at Wardmen Park Hotel. | Mr. Culver spoke from personal ex- | perience as a much traveled air pas- | senger. He said that in the last year | he has traveled by air a total of 75,000 | miles—equal to three times the distance around the world—without accident and without a forced landing. He is here on the third of a series of five countrywide airplane tours to visit lo- cal boards affiliated with’the national association. | Air Transportation Is Here, “Air transpsriation is not in the near future,” he said. “It is here. We have | large and comfortable passenger planes now, but those of today will be but kites in comparison with what passen- | gér ships of tomorrow will .be. “Aviation is commanding the atten- tion of capitalists in all parts of the world and is enabling the country as a whole to speed up in its growth. A trip around the world soon will be as com- mon as a Sunday school picnic.” He commended the subject of avia- tion to those engaged in the real es-; tate profession, declaring that already aviation progress has made a tremen- dous effect upon real estate. Describing airport developments, which he had visited, Mr. Oliver said that ground around landing fields generally now at a premium, as light manufacturing | concerns, hotels and. other enterprises reserve locations. He called attention to airplane landing sites being acquired | by railroad interests for future use. Realtors would be shortsighted, he said, if they falied to realize the chang- ing 'effect aviation is having on real | estate business. Mr. Culver refrained from mention- ing Washington’s present lack of a| municipal airport and plans for devel- opment of a first-class landing field and port_here, explaining Jater that he felt | local and Government officials we:e; aware of the needs and did not require | outside encouragement. Fifty-seven Air Lines in U. S. In describing progress in aviation in the United States, Mr. Culver pointed out that now there are 57 air lines op- erating and that the number of air- plane factorles increased from 7 in| 1927 to 167 in 1928 and that it had been | estimated that there would be 367 op- | erating by the end of this year. He estimated that by the end of this year the number of planes clearing from Chicago would total 1,500, bringing to that city a gross revenue of more than | $10,000,000 annually. | Mr. Culver was welcomed by Proctor | L. Dougherty. president of the board of | District Commissioners. Special guests included Engineer Commissioner Wil- liam B, Ladue, Assistant Engineer Com- missioners Atkins and Davison, Maj. Carey Brown, engineer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission; Col. C. C. Culver, commandant ‘of Langley Feld, a brother of the realtor president; District Assessor William P. Richards, Maj. Howard C. Davidson, commandant of Bolling Field; Gen. Al- bert J. Bowley, U. S. A.; Col. Dennis P. , co-ordinator, Federal Real Es tate Board, and K. A. Brumback, pre: dent of the Alexandria-Arlington-Fair- fax Real Estate Board.

Mrs. Kennedy's attorney, John S. Yard. Their names were given in an official statement as Inspector Gin- hoven and Sergt. Jones. The dismissal culminated an investi- gation made after serious allegations had been_brought against some of the Scotland Yard men. On April 12 Com- missioner Lord Byng and high officials of the force held an all-night confer- ence on the matter. The action created a sensation in London, but de- tails were kept a deep secret. Semi-official denial was obtained to reports that the allegations involved sale of British naval secrets to persons | close to the Soviet government. An | official statement then merely said that | an investigation had been in progress and that some time must elapse before a decision could be reached.
