COMMERCIAL SHIPS LEAD AT AIR MEET Military Planes, for First Time, Are Forced to Bow to Civilian Pilots. &YV a Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 31.—The increasing dominance of commercial aviation in the United States is re- flected as never before in the national alr races now in progress here. For the first time in the history of aviation commercial flying has outweighed mili~ tary exhibitions at a national air meet. Last year, in the national air races at Mines Field, Calif., the military, as in previous years, captured the show. Those who went to Mines Field prob- ably will remember the stirring compe- tition between the Army Air Corps three musketeers and the Navy's three sea hawks as the high light of the races. The commercial element, while better than ever before, was relegated to second place. Change in Situation. This year, however, ths situation seems to have changed. The Army and Navy have been as good or better than ever, but there has been so much splen- did flying by civilian pilots in civilian ships that for the first time they have taken the edge from Uncle Sam's stars. ‘There has been civillan formation flying for the first time. While it can- not. compare with the magnificent for- | mation fiying by the trained Army and Navy squadrons, it has been very good. In acrobatics the civilians have come | decidedly to the front, largely because the Army and Navy have stuck to their formations. Freddy Lund and the two team- mates who have been flying with him in the crack civilian Travelair team have occupfed places in the limelight every day. The individual smash of the races so far, however, was made by a lone civilian flyer when Charles “Speed” Holman stunted a 3-ton tri- motored Ford monoplane as though it were the giddlest sort of pursuit plane. For the first time in the history of the national air races, dirigibles have taken a prominent part. There have been three civilian Goodyear pony blimps flying formations and solo all through the races. , Yesterday a fourth came over and was christened with elaborate ceremonies. These little ships. however, lost the spotilight to the Navy, which brought the new all- metal ZMC-2 experimental blimp down from Detroit and the Los Angeles from Lakehurst. | Zepp Gets Spotlight. Ordinarily that would have left the Navy undisputed leader in the dirigible field. It was not so to be. Just a few hours after the Los Angeles had been attached to the field mooring mast, the commercial dirigible Graf Zeppelin, winding up its epochal flight around the world, passed overhead and the searchlights which played along its long silvery hull meant a lessening of the spotlight in which the Navy basked. ‘There is no intention on the part of any one here to minimize the impor- tance of participation in the races by the Army and the Navy. The work of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps fighting squadrons has been brilliant, | as it always has been at these shows. | Their flying has been a revelation to thousands upon thousands of spectators of the advances made in the science of military air operations. It was inevitable, however, that with the great increase in commercial aero- nautics in the United States and with the tremendous improvements which have been made in commercial aircraft and the caliber of civilian pilots they should gain a steadily increasing place in the races. The races, formerly over- ‘whelmingly military in flavor. are be- coming more and more civilian and, commercial in character each year, in ;lhe opinion of aeronautical ~leaders ere. It is hoped. however, that though more and more attention is given to civilian events, the Army and Navy will continue to take advantage of the races as an opportunity to keep the public posted on the latest advancements in i the development of fighting planes and the science of military air tactics, those in charge of the races say. Many New Features. ‘There have been many new features at this year's races and virtually all of them have been on the civilian side of the ledger. Gliding has played a part for the first time. The national glider contests, held this year, were amony the most interesting events of the week. With new glider clubs ap- pearing in all parts of the country, the motorless flyers are certain to play an important part in the 1930 races, 1t is believed. The first women’s air derby and women’s races have been important features of this year's annual air classic. Commercial lighter-than-air _events have made their debut this year and, with the great revival of interest in dirigibles all over the world during the past_year, the motorized gas bubble should play an even more interesting part in the next races.

FYERDESAFTER BREAKING RECORD Attempt of Pilot to Earn Ex- tra-Hour Bonuses Results in Fatal Crash. By the Assoclated Press. CLEVELAND, August 31.— Pilot Thomas Reid of Downey, Calif.,, broke the world airplane solo endurance rec- ord here today and then lost his life while continuing his flight to eamn | bonuses to pay for a honeymoon. His piane crashed into a tree. Just before Reid came to the na- tional air races here he and his sweet- heart in California were married. The day after the wedding the flyer set out for Cleveland, where he saw an op- pertunity to earn enough money to pay for a happy wedding trip, by exceeding the solo record. Reid was to get $100 for every hour he remained in the air after he hi passed the old record. “Watch me g he had told fellow flyers here. “Each $100 means that much longer for the honeymoon.” At 36 minutes past midnight last night, he equaled the solo record of 36:56:36 set by Lieut. Herbert J. Fahy May 29 at Los Angeles. Then Reid plloted his plane away from the airport. A few hours later, & search was start- ed, and at daybreak the plane was found. The need of sleep had over- come him, and he had crashed. PLANE HAD TRIED TWICE. Attempts to Break Record Were Made in California. LONG BEACH, Calif,, August 31 (®). —The plane which carried Thomas “Jack” Reid, solo endurance pilot, to death today at Cleveland was bullt at the municipal airport here. Its power plant was a Wright whirlwind J-6, de- veloping 300 horsepower. The same craft had made two at- tempts here to shatter the non-refuel- ing duration record, just before the start for the air races. On both of these attempts Reid wos co-pilot, the first time with Charles F. Rocheville and the second time with Emory Bronte, transpacific flyer. CAPITAL'S AIR RACE BID HINGES UPON DEVELOPING FIELD' om First Page.) (Continued _ The work has been done from the ground up. Capital Could Get Ready. In the light of this experience there is no reason why the National Capital should not be able to make ready in time for next year's show, race officials say. It there is any prospect of airport | development in the National Capltali during the coming year, the board of governors, ‘it is understood, will be dis- posed to view the bid of the National Capital very favorably. The decision probably will rest upon the action of Congress during the first month of the | coming session. ‘When it was first intimated here ' that the National Capital would be among the bidders, the reaction of members of the board is understood to have been unfavorable owing to the lack ot any sort of municipal airport equipment = Informal discussion of the proposal by members of the board, how- ever, has led to the bellef that the bid may not be as hopeless as was at first indicated. “If Washington is to be considered seriously by the board for next year's races,” it was stated by one of the members of the board yesterday, “it will be necessary for the various civic and business organizations to get busy at once and reach an immediate agree- ment on the guaranties they are pre- pared to make. If the proper support is pledged and Congress will pass legis- lation providing for an airport and for appropriations sufficient to put an ade- quate flying area in shape by August, I can see no reason why we should not consider the bid seriously.” Bicentennial Conflict. It has been proposed that Washing- ton withhold its bid for the National Air Races until 1932 so that they may be held in Washington in connection with the celebration that year of the two- hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington. There is serious | opposition to this proposal on the part of certain officials of the National Aero- nautic Association who feel that the races will tax the facilities of the city and should not be subordinated to or combined with any other event. ‘They feel that it would be much better for the National Capital to have the races next year than to attempt to press for them during the year of the bicentennial. Holding of the races next year would be the making of the National Capital as an aeronautical center, they are convinced, and would leave it in good shape aeronautically for the 1932 bicentennial celebration, which undoubtedly will bring many vis- itors by air. Members of the National Aeronautic Association now present in Cleveland jare planning to undertake an informal canvass of the situation upon return- ing home to determine whether it will be advisable to undertake a real cam- paign this Fall for the establishment of an airport and the holding of next 5| vear's races. Victory Is Re-elected. Washington came out well in the | annual elections here yesterday after- noon. Senator Bingham was re- elected national president by a unani- mous vote, and John F. Victory, secre- tary of the National Advisory Com- mitte for Aeronautics, was re-elected treasurer. George W. Lewis, director of research for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, was re- elected governor of the National Cap- ital district. Senator Bingham's re- election automatically carries with it the reappointment as general manager of Frederick R. Neely, it is under- stood. Mr. Neely was appointed first general manager of the association last 1. ‘The national air races are held under sanction of the National Aeronautic Association, which is the official rep- resentative in the United States of the Federation Aeronautique Interna- tionale, international aeronautical gov- emln?“ bod&d It.wll the dug'l Mmc‘l.l: American body govern o contests and no records made without its sanction and regulation can be re- garded as official. , ——t, An average of an aircraft & day is being exported from this country. THE - SUNDAY WEATHER BLOCKS NON-STOP FLYERS Pilots Delay Hop for Cleve land as Time Limit for Race Draws Near. By the Associated Pre: METROPOLITAN AIRPORT, LOS ANGELES, August 31.—With the time limit drawing near, the take-off of three remaining pilots, one of whom returned here today afier an unsuc- cessful attempt in the Los Angeles-to- | Cleveland non-stop air race, appeared {likely to be delayed tonight by weather | conditions. Art Goebel, transpacific fiyer, arrived here early tonight from Wichita with a new Cessna plane in which he had planned to hop off at midnight or shortly after for Cleveland. He ran through storm conditions on the way from Wichita, however, which he said were s0o bad he would not consider at- tempting the Cleveland flight before tomorrow night. John Wood of Wausau, Wis., who left early this morning, was forced down in Willard, N. Mex., when one of his tanks refused to feed gasoline to his motor. After clearing his gas line, Wood returned to the starting point and was planning to hop off again tonight in an attempt to better the time of 13 hours 51 minutes 10.8 seconds made by Lee Schoenhair of Los Angeles, who was first to get away ~arly this week. After hearing Goe- vel's report on the weather, Wood de- until tomorrow night. Henry J. Brown, Cleveland alrmail pilot who was scheduled to go when Wood and Capt. Roscoe Turner took off this morning, but who was delayed by carburetor trouble, still was hoping to get away tonight. He had not, however, been informed of Goebel's weather re- port. Brown was asleep and had left orders that he was not to be awakened until a short time before the time set for_leaving. The pilots have only until Monday to reach Cleveland if they are to qualify for the $10,000 prize. To do so, they must leave here by early Monday morn- ing at the latest. WURTZSMITH WINS TROPHY. CLEVELAND, August 31 (#).—PDivid- of planes in the air above them and watching for two non-stop fliers from Los Angeles, a large holiday crowd of 40,000 had been disappointed when the eighth day of the National Air Races closed today. P. Wood, who took off from Los Angeles shortly after midnight last night, dis- qualified themselves by failing to arrive here between 1 and 6 p.m.. the only stipulation as to arrival or departure in the event which must be finished by Monday. the last day of the races here. Capt. Turner arived at 7.27 p.m. Lee Schoenhair, who made the flight early in the week, may win by forfeit. “Edison day” was hardly that without the famous inventor. who was invited here for the day. His friend, Harvey Firestone, Akron rubber manufacturer, attended and memorialized Edison’s achievements in _a brief radio speech. Lieut. Paul B. Wurtzsmith, 22, of Detroit, speeding and banking around a 10-mile course at a rate of 152.73 miles an hour, won the John L. army's first pursuit group. His aver- age was the highest of the week and he defeated 17 fellow officers. Lieut. Kenneth E. Rogers and Aubry J. Moore were tied for second at 152.04 miles an hour. ‘The army planes, around the pylons at more than two miles a minute, brought roars of excite- ment from the crowd. Lieut. Hayne D. Boyden won the 60- mile race for Marines at 142.88 miles an hour, and A. P. Krapish of Lowell, for men with an average of 114.12 miles an hour. The contestants drop: plane.

J., August 31. —A bullet hole was found in the great bag of the Graf Zeppelin during preparations for its start back to Germany. The hole was found by Chief Cellmate Kroner of the Graf's crew, who said that his war ex- perience made him sure it was made by a bullet. Kroner expressed the opinion that the bullet had been fired into the Graf while it was flying over ‘Texas on the last leg of its world flight, but did not give any reason for this opinion. @he Foening Htar Rivcr orfll If its THE ABOVE SIGN DISPLAYED w AUTHORIZED e STAR BRANCH OFFICES cided to postpone his second attempt ing their attention between the scores | Capt.

By the Associated Press. MACON, Ga., August 31.—Stocks and moneys remaining from an original fund of $870,000 furnished by the Intern: tional Paper Co. for the purchase of four Southeastern newspapers were ordered into custody of Federal Court here today by agreement in the Hali- Lavarre newspaper suit. Judge Bascom S. Deaver issued the order under a “stipulation of counsel” after the hear- ing of Harold Hall’s suit against Wil- liam Lavarre had reached approximate- | ly the half-way point after eight days | of the hearing. | " Hall is suing Lavarre for equal oper- ating control of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, the Spartanburg (8. C.) Herald and the Journal and the Colum- bia (S. C.) Record on the ground that he was a partner of Lavarre’s in the enterprise. Lavarre has answered that Hall was his employe, and had aban- doned the Augusta Chronicle to which he had been assigned. Cited for Contempt. The suit became complicated when Judge A. L. Franklin in Richmond Superior Court at Augusta, issued & contempt order against LaVarre for fallure to turn over the stock and re- maining money to a receiver named by that court. At that point the case | was transferred to Federal court and LaVarre answered that he could | count for $54000 of $122,900 remain- |ing after the four papers had been | bought. As to the stock in the papers | LaVarre said his New York attorney’s, Coudert Brothers, had received warn- ing notices from himself, Hall and the International Paper Company against| improper disposal of the stock and | therefore Coudert Brothers declined to | releaze it. It was then agreed to go ahead with the hearing of testimony. This was interrupted yesterday in the eighth day after Hall had stepped from the witness stand. His counsel asked that the stock and money be brought into i attorneys held this was unnecessary. Agreement Reached. The court decided to hear argu- ment on “Law or fact” as it pertained to the money, but a stipulation of counsel was agreed upon before the hearing convened this morning. The | document was signed in chambers and | placed the securities and money at the disposal of the clerk of the court “be- fore September 9.” | It was understood that the hearing of testimony would be resumed on that date. Hall's attorneys did not indicate whether they had completed introduc- tion of evidence or witnesses when the | order was signed. | The money ordered into custody to- day included a certified check for ap- proximately $18,000 in the hands of | LaVarre's attorneys, $22,000 also in their hands and $15,000 in LaVarre bank accounts at Spartanburg and Co- lumbia, S. C, an item of $7.500 also | was mentioned, but it was stipulated that New York newspaper brokers | had started attachment proceedings against it. The International Paper Company todav was bound to release the Coudert firm from responsibility for the stock. which they held after LaVarre had given it into their cus- tody.
