r 30 OCEAN AIRDROMES SEEN AS PROBLEM French Statesman Believes Naval Parley Should Go Into Future. BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. to t i ail o o 1 S e Ohae PARIS, Noverber 8.—A grave prob- lem which can only be settled by an international conference is raised, ac- cording to Senator Lemery, former undersecretary of merchant marine, by the news that the United States pres- ently will moor the first Atlantic sea- drome a few hundred miles off the port of New York. A succession of seadromes right across the Atlantic, all flying the Amer- ican flag, would not only give the United Statez w practical monopoly on transatlantic mail and passenger flights, says Lemery, but a series of naval air bases of incalculable value in war time. ‘The French government, he urges, should raise the question at the forth- coming naval conference, for, in esti- mating the strength of the American fleet, he argues, these airdromes must certainly be taken into account. He thinks, furtitermore, that the confer- PLAYWRIGHT IS HELD ON_CHARGE OF FRAUD Two Persons Claim Loss of Money by Backing Play “Veils,” ‘Which Proved Failure. By the Associated Press. - NEW YORK, November 8.— Irving Kaye Davis, playwright, was arrested yesterday charged with fraud by two persons who lost money by backing his nl:y. “Vells,” which was a failure of t season. He was released in $2,500 bail on the two charges. George Stevenson, a customs house broker, said $3,500 through 'Vells, Inc.,” and tiff, said she lost $8,200. Both claimed that Davis misrepresented facts in ob- taining their money by stating that he was author and owner of the play, had recelved an offer of $30,000 for con- trolling interest from Lee Sh , pro- ducer, and $80,000 for motion picture rights for his play. An investigation proved these repre- sentations false, they charged. The play clesed after four days on Broad- way.

By the Assoclated Press. HAVANA, November 8—Permission granted last month by Dr. Carlos Miguel de Cespedes, Cuban secretary of public works, to several Cuban promo- ters for the construction of a million- dollaf national stadium on the Manglar de Urrutia property in Havana is re- ported to have been definitely rescinded. The site of the proposed stadium, comprising more than 100,000 meters of land, is said to have encompassed those lands claimed by Joseph E. Barlow, 72-year-old American resident of Havana, in his $9,000,000 claims against the Cuban government for non-en- forcement of Cuban court orders, which, he claims, places him in possession of the Manglar property. According to the report, the rescind- ng of the concession granted by the public works department was caused by the fact that the lands are in litigation. Minister Sails for U. 8.
