WHE EVENING NAVY MAY REJECT " OFERFOROLYNPI |Harden, New York Financier, | Would Preserve Historic Craft in Capital. | | An offer by Edward W. Harden, New Iyork financier, to purchase from the Navy the_historic Olympia, flagship of | ‘Admiral Dewey at Manila Bay, probably will not be accepted, although little doubt remains that the old cruiser will be preserved as a_memorigl. Secretary Adams of the Navy said today he believed a better plan would ba for Congress to present the vessel to the District of Columbia or some lother clty or State. The fate of the cruiser will depend ultimately on the policy decided upon by the President land Congress. Harden. who as a newspaper cor- Tespondent was one of the few civilians !present at the battle of Manila Bay, offered to pay the Navy the ship's valie |as serap on condition that she be pre- served here. Secretary Adams in_a letter made public today advised Harden that it was not in his power to accept the offer, | but._expressed the belief that the ship | would be preserved through some other means. Has No Military Value. The Olympia, which besides historic service at Manila was given the honor of bearing home the body of America’s Unknown Soldier, ;has no further m iiary value and ynless preserved as a memorial would have to be sold for the | scrap iron it contains. In considering what should be done with the Olympia, Secretary Adams has given thought to the desirability of anchoring it in the Tidal Basin, |where it would be near the Arlington National Cemeterv and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The Navy De- jpartment would be unable to incur the annual expense necessary to keep the ship available as a memorial, this be- ing one of the questions to be passed on when the President and Congress consider the future of the vessel. The | |Olympia now is in dry dock at Phila. ‘delphia. In his letter to Mr. Harden, Secre- |tary Adams said: “My Dear Mr. Harden: “May 1 express to you the warm ap- !preciation which the Navy Department Ifrels for your generous offer to pur- |chase the Olympia and turn her into 'a national memorial. Your interest in that historic vessel is very welcome to ithose who are interested in the Navy. I think it is clear that the Olympia will be preserved in some manne: the exact method depends large the policy of the President and also on 'congressional action, as I have no power |of incurring permanent annual expense on the scale necessary for making a | | believe me suitable memorial of the Olympia. “With your leave, I shall be glad to keep in mind your willingness to help in case any possibility develops of of- | {fering _you some opportunity in this jconnection which might prove to be| intreesting. | “With best regards. “Very sincerely your C. F. ADAMS” | Harden Present During Battle. | M. Harden had explained in his let- | ter that he and John T. McCutcheon | were on & trip around the world in 1898 in a revenue cutter, which was! |attached to Admiral Dewey's fleet when war was declared. He was present with [the fleet, therefore, during the battle | on May 1, and remained during the| | Blockade which followed that encounter. ; He related in his letter that he was on | ! new member of the national advisor: of a retaining wall, would involve a large amount of work and expense. ‘The location under consideration is at the end of West Potomac Park, just up- stream from the Highway Bridge. Grant Favors Digplay. Col. Grant said he personally was in { c be better pleased if they could visit a historic ship afloat. He pointed out, however, that the cost of maintenance would be considerably higher if a ship were floated instead of placed on con- crete foundation. Col. Grant suggested that a point off the Navy Yard would be a more de- sirable anchorage from the standpoint of economy in maintenance, if not from ;lhm, of convenience to the general pub- ic. {GOVERNMENT TURNS DOWN COST CLAIM OF GUGGENHEIM FLIGHT (Continued From First Page.) mittee for Aeronautics, that such action would place the Government in the “embarrassing position of spending mil- lions of dollars annually for the devel- opment of aeronautics and at the same time of denying to an official engaged in the development of aeronautics the right to use an airplane in connection with that purpose,” unless the plane be_Government owned. Mr. Guggenheim, who was appointed a member of the advisory committee by President Hoover on April 20 last, made his first trip to a committee meeting May 13. He traveled to Washington in a privately-owned plane from New York, and proceeded to Langley Field, Va., with other mémbers of the committee by steamer. After the meeting he re- turned to New York by plane. His voucher for expenses claimed reimburse- ment for the following: Gasoline, 139 gallons, at 29 cents: 13 uarts of oil at 30 cents; total, $42.18, to which he added two fuil days per diem at $6, making a total of $58.14. Mr. Ames. in his letter to the controller general, contended that it would have cost the Government a greater sum to | take Guggenheim to the meeting on | one of its planes, which would have been permissabie. Ames’ Letter. “I deem it appropriate” wrote Mr. Ames, in_asking for approval of the | voucher, “to make the following obser- vations for your consideration. The us | of the airplane as a means of transpor- tation is growing rapidly. Mr. Guggen- heim is president of the Daniel Gug- genheim Fund for the Promotion of | Aeronautics, Inc., and is devoting prac- tically his entire time and energies to the advancement of aeronautics without financial return. In his personal trav- eling he is accustomed to use a private airplane. “This is his first official travel as a committee for aeronautics, which is offi- cially charged by law with the scientific study of the problems of flight, with a view to their practical solution. When | | determining the official attitude of the | Government on the question of re- imbursement for travel performed in & non-Government-owned airplane, it is important as a matter of policy that your decision should be favorable, for otherwise the Government will be placed in the embarrassing position of spend- ing millions of dollars for the develop- ment of aeronautics and at the same time denying to an official engaged in the development of aeronautics the right to use an airplane in_connection with that purpose. unless the airplane be owned and operated by the Govern- ment at much greater cost than the cost of gas and oil charged on this voucher.” Temporary Policy Asked. McCarl was asked to approve pay- ment as a temporary policy until Con- gress passed legislation on the subject MANY FAILINTEST ASFLYER PILOTS Small Percentage of Large List of Students Able to Meet Requirements. By the Associated Press. Government authorities have discovered that only a small percentage of avia- tion enthusiasts can be made success- ful pilots. The aeronautics division of the Com- merce Department, which is in charge of civilian aviftion, has been receiving in the last few weeks a hugh number of applications for student fiyers' permits —approximately 600 a week. The num- ber of applications in the first half of this year was placed today by Clarence M. Young, recently appointed Assistant Secretary for Aeronautics, at 14,850, compared with 10,697 in the preceding six_months, But this evidence of a desire by Americans to “take to the has not proved so productive of successful pilots, officials said, as only 15 per cent of the student flyers qualify pilots capable of handling commercial air- planes. A similar “situation exists n the Army and Navy. In the Army only 25 per cent of the students quahfied last year and in the Navy a slightly higher proportion. Both services, how- ever, expect a larger percentage of suc- cessful pilots to result from training hereafter. Infallible Quality Lacking. Despite a careful physical examina tion, study of the prospective student fiyer's family background and in- herited tendencies and psychological tests, neither the Commerce Depart- ment nor the two military services have found an infallible test of fiying ability prior to actual tests in the air. “The inherent aptitude of flying only one of the commerce aeronautics of- ficials. Other factors, however, keep down the | percentage of successful pilots, the com- merce authorities asserted. A major factor of discouragement to the prospec- tive flier is the high cost of a piloting course of instruction, and another is that students often lose their desire to fiy, or their nerve, after air experience. A third obstacle to the increase in the number of pilots is becoming apparent in the tendency of many students to | make one solo flight and then quit, | satisfled with that experience. Chief Reason for Failur | 1In the Army and Navy the chief rea- son for failure of student fiyers is due ; to actual inabllity to pilot airplanes. | The entrants in_the service fiying |schools generally have every phy qualification but during their in, even those best qualified physically ma; | disclose lack of the aptitude to fly. Maj. Young has predicted tha g y craft operations this year, if they con- | tinue at the pace set in the first six months, will be more than the previous three years combined.” The Commerce Department officials are concerned over a possible shor of commercial aviation. They point out that an air mail pilot has to push his plane at high speed through bad weather and night, whereas the passenger plane fiver has to be on the alert not to frighten his passengers snd to avoid unnecessary hazards to their safety.

EDGERTON, Aviation Editor of The Star. CLEVELAND, August 28.—One of the | significant aeronautical deyelopments in the United States during the past year has been the establishment of gliding for sport and training purposes. The first -national glider contest, now in progress here as & part of the national air races, reveals.great advances dur- ing the past year in the art of motor- less flying in this country. Establishment of glider clubs in all parts of the United States and the opening of great national camps, where students may get primary, and soaring training, are planned by the Natlonal Glider Association, which held its annual meetipg here yesterday May Have Camp Near D, C. The first great glider camp may be opened in Pennsylvania, Maryland or Virginia_in the rolling’ country west of the National Capital, where favor- {able conditions for gliding and soaring | prevail, it was announced by Edward S. Evans, pr Glider Association. It is hoped that gliding may be es- tablished in the Natlonal Capital dur- ing the coming year and that Wash- ington glider pilots may go into train- ing for_participation in next year's meet, officers of the glider organization sald. While hilly country, with plenty of clear, open spaces and favorable winds naturally is preferable for gliding. it is a sport which may be enjoyed on any | airport or other large, open field where hills are not available, glider pilots stated. There are areas in East Potomac Park, along the Anacostia River below the Eleventh Street Bridge, which could be used for auto-launched gliding, the er has been told. Bolling Pield or any of the larger commercial airports | i this purpose, it was pointed out. Either auto-launched or shock-cord- launched flights may be made from level ground. The shock cord is & length of rubberized cable 40 to 100 feet long. handled by a ground crew of 8 to 10. The center of the cord is passed through a hook on the glider. The ground crew holds the glider and | stretches the cord. The glider is re- leased and catapulted into the air. Flights of 200 yards are possible by this means in a light breeze. For automobile launching the glider is towed behind a car at the end of a long rope, which may be cast off by the pilot when he gains sufficient alti- tude. Either of these methods is em- ployed for students. Miss Earhart Praises Gliding. { Amelia Earhart, one of the pioneer | woman gliders in this country, said that women and girls are taking to gliding in rapidly increasing numbers and she expects the glider to be the stepping stone to general aviation for women. The best avenue of approach for boys and young men 1o enter aerol autics is through gliding, Mr. Evans said. The transition from gliding is easy, and the preliminary work is absolutely safe. he pointed out. Not only will gliding greatly aid American aviation, but it will produce much better fiyers, as the trained glider pilot always makes a much better airplane pilct than the man without such training, he stated. Some Fly Nearly 100 Miles. From gliding. which is merely coast- ing downhill on the air, the student progresses to soaring, in which the i secondary | ident of the National A& around the city also could be used lor‘ IN HILLY LAND NEAR DISTRICT Nat;ional Association Plans to Establi;lr Clubs in All Parts of the United States, With Training Areas as Adjuncts. turn every plane in the formation is able to bring to bear each of its six guns on the target and, in passing over on the center of the S, is in a position to drop the fragmentation bombs "1t carries beneath its wings.

AUGUST 28.. 1929. | HOOVER LAND PLAN Conference Fails to Act on Other Suggestions Made in President’s Letter. By the Assoclated Pres: SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, August 28. —Representatives of Western States to- day stood committed to President’s Hoo- ver's proposal for the appointment of a commission of 9 or 10 men to study public land and reclamation policies. Aside from a suggestion to governors of the 11 Western public land States to submit the names of three citizens each to the President, for appointment to the five places on the commission allotted to these States, the conference jof their representatives in its closing session here yesterday falled to take a stand on the other issues presented to it in a letter from the Chief Executive. A resolution was adopted expressing appreciation of President Hoover's pro- posal that the Governinent should cede public lands within their borders and should turn over the administration of reclamation projects to the States, but did not commit the conference on these matters. Other resolutions urged increased Federal appropriations for Federal ald ighways and roads across Government reservations and other public lands, in- creased funds for forest fire fighting and forestry investigations and more money for plant pest experimentation and control. OPPOSITION SEEN HERE. Some Western Senators Watchfully Awaiting Developments. President Hoover’s plan for the trans- fer of public lands to the States was discussed with considerable interest at the Capitol today. There were indica- ions that the actual recommendation of such steps would meet opposition. Some Senators from States that would be affected said they would prefer to withhoid their opinions until the initial suggestions of the President were more fully developed. Others said they would oppose giving the States com- plete ownership of oil and mineral deposits. President Hoover intends to appoint a commission to study the transfer pro- posal and report as soon as possible. He announced his intention yesterday after the receipt of a telegram from Gov. Baldridge of Idaho, who said that the governors of the public land States in session at Salt Lake City had “warm- ly appreciated” the suggestion that such section companions closed .in again 1n | tight formation. This maneuver, sepa- rated by several dives, climbs and steep turns, was repeated three times. Then the colonel signaled for a break of formation and climbed into a half loop which he converted into an Immel- man turn by rolling over at the top of three ships then turned and dove toward a common | point in front of the stands from three directions and. as it appeared they were coming dangerously close, went into simultaneous loops and separated for | their landings. Lindbergh disappeared after landing. | “The colonel is a very considerate leader,” Keavitte sald; “'he does nothing without plenty of warning to those fiying th him. | ference by Assistant Secretary Dixon of the Interior Department. He said . the transferring of public lands to the States would not only simplify the re- lationship between the Government and the public land States, but also was a highly important conservation measure.

BROWN THREATENS T01GNORE GROUP Postmaster General Says Florida Republicans Must Settle Own Problems. By the Associated Press. Postmaster General Brown, in com- menting yesterday on efforts of Chair- man Calloway of the Florida Republi- can central committee to overthrow the | advisory committee set up to advise on appointments, said that if the advisory committee did not function he would turn to “non-political sources for ad- 1| vice.” The statement of the Postmaster General was regarded in political circles as forecasting the possibility of ignoring the regular Republican organization in the State regarding patronage matters, The advisory committee, he said, wa: selected by Glenn Skipper. Republican national committeeman, who also w: instrumental in selecting Calloway as chairman of the State central commit- tee. The State central committee, Mr. Brown said, had approved the advisory committee which Mr. Skipper had selected. 3 ‘The present advisory committee, therefore, Mr. Brown said. had the ap- proval first of Skipper and then of a committee which Mr. Skipper previ- :’ully had been instrumental in select- ing. “I am not interested,” Mr. Brown said, “in the squabbles Mr. Calloway has with other persons in Florida, but if the commitiee set up to_advise on appointments functions, the Post OTi"e Department will gladly receive its rec- ommendations. If it fails to function. it will be necessary for the Post Office Department to seek advice from non- political sources.” ‘The present committee is the second one that has been set up since March 4. e first one, suggested to the Postmaster General by Skipper shortly after the Hoover administration took office, was unsatisfactory to Mr. Brown.
