THE EVENING « AVIATION'S FUTURE - OUTLINED BY KLEIN :Assistant Commerce Secre- tary, in Radio Address, Tells of Rapid Strides Made. Constant use of air transportation is | Tapidly breaking down what remains of | | the isolation of European natlons, Dr.! Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of | (3] Commerce, said in a radio address last night from Station WMAL. Europe, he pointed out, appears to the | American as a continent of many small nations, and air lines which would not be subject to the rules of interstate commerce in this country cross, in Eu- rope, the frontiers of several countries. This traffic he characterized as a mighty { factor in promoting international good 1. “Europe,” Dr. Klein said, “has a higher ratio of miles of air lines to the total area than has the United States, but ours are being extended rapidly and new ones established. In Europe. how- ever, the lines are subsidized, while the majority of ours are paying their way. “The sight-seeing flights, aerial taxi services, and training courses offered by most operators of transportation lines have proved very profitable, in most in- stances, and the passenger air lines are being operated t~ b> ready for the prof- its which are very apparently about to be realized.” European Rates Lower, European air travel rates, because of huge government subsidies,” are much Jower than in the United States, Dr. Klein stated. The government subsi- ' dies, he pointed out, range from 50 to| 90 per cent of the total revenues of the ' eompanies. “The object of this subsidy is, of course, to keep the air lines in regu- | lar operation, to increase and main- tain the number of planes capable of making regular flights over long dis- tances carying loads, and ihus to have available in emergency a mighty machine for military use,” he continued. Dr. Klein described the struggles of | American aviation concerns to stand on their own feet after the World War. .“There were,” he said, “very few air lines in operation in this country five years ago and not any that thowad a profit from its operation. The Gov- ernment operated a transcontinental mail line at a loss. Then suddenly two events gave our industry its chance. The Government turned ovet the {rans- continental air mail line to private eontractors and Lindbergh's immortal + flight and those which followed it turned the Nation's eyes to the air. Air Transportation Future Assured. “A network of lines sprang up; planes ‘began to be no longer curiosities; reg- ular schedules were fixed and in many cases followed with as great success as the rallroads follow theirs. “American aviation is proud that this schievement is on a scurd basis. It is very apparent that air transportation has come to stay in the United States.” NEW EDUCATION SYSTEM IS ENFORCED IN ITALY Ten-Year-0ld Pupils Are Allowed to Enter Vocational Train- ing Schools.

BATILE IS ENDED Guardian, Acquitted of Slay- ing Charge; Cousins and Fiancee Share in Estate. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, September 16.—The Chi- cago Tribune yesterday said contesting claimants for the $1,000,000 estate of Willlam Nelson McClintock, wealthy young Chicagoan, who died under mys- terious circumstances five years ago, had reached an agreement for settie- ment. William Darling Shepherd, who was McClintock’s guardian and who was ac- quitted of a charge of slaying his ward by administering typhoid germs, will recelve half of the estate and the re- mainder will be divided among Miss Isabelle Pope, McClintock’s flancee, and two groups of cousins, from Ottumwa, Ioa'i-, and from California, the paper said. Under the terms of McClintock's will, Shepherd received the entire estate, with the exception of an $8,000 an- nuity for Miss Pope, McClintock died late in 1924, after Miss Pope had made vain attempts to marry him on his deathbed. After his acquittal of responsibility for the death Shepherd lost his plea to probate the will, but won on an appeal. The de- cislon was given after two years, Early in 1927 the cousins filed suit to break the will, charging it was dictated by Shepherd. A few months later Miss Pope filed suit for a widow’s share, al- leging Shepherd had contrived to pre- vent the wedding. In May of this year, Circuit Judge Phillip P. L. Sullivan ruled that the cousins were legal heirs and Miss Pope entered into an agreement for settle- ment in the event either group was suc- cessful. ‘The cousins are: Luella Yokum, Min- nie Kerstens, Willlam Eaton, Ira P. Eaton, Charles E. Eaton, Archie Eaton, Viola Eaton and Maud Walker, all of Ottumwa, Io and Bertram and Wil- liam Eaton of fornia. SUICIDE NOTE BARES CATTLE RING CLUES California Ranch Foreman Believed to Have Ended Life to Escape Thieves’ Wrath. By the Asccclated Press. YREKA, Calif,, September 16.—The suicide of a ranch foreman was believed by authorities yesterday to have re- vealed clues to a ring of cattle thieves ‘which was prepared to shoot any mem- ber who disclosed its secrets. ‘G. H. Moesser, foreman of the Alamo ranch, shot and killed himself in.the ranch bunkhouse Friday with a cattle- man’y revolver. He left a six-page note under the pillow of his cot, saying he had killed a man in New Mexico and another in Arizona, and that he had escaped from a Nevada jail, after he was arrested on a charge of horse stealing. ‘The foreman had been involved in a cattle rustling case in which G. L. Dietz, 20-year-old member of a wealthy Siskiyou ploneer family, was accused of shooting cattle. Dietz was arrested by two deputy sheriffs who hid in brush and saw h'm shoot at steers driven into gun range by Moesser. Both Moesser and Dietz then accused each other of having broached the proposal of forming cattle-stealing combine. Dietz added a sensational charge that Moesser trapped him to bring about his capture and collect a $20,000 reward posted for the arrest of cattle thieves. ‘The information contained in the long mote left by Moesser was being in- vestigated by authorities who hoped to round up the leaders of the cattle rustling ring. v S Lima Coast Air Service Resumed.
