59 NAVAL PLANES FLY OVER CAPITAL Squadrons Go to New York, With Between 130 and 150 to Return Here. Pifty-nine Navy torpedo and scouting planes this morning passed over Wash- ington in close formation on their way to New York, where they are to partici- pate today in an aerial review. The planes spent the night at Ana- eostia Naval Air Station, arriving here nnerdly afternoon from the three air- fers at Hampton Roads. They hnded as rapidly as the squadrons ar- rived, however, and the Capital had no :fiyofl,unl!y until .this morning to see the squadrons in the air together. ‘The first section of the leading tor- mo squadron took off at 7:15 o'clock morning, followed at close intervals by three-plane sections until all the torpedo planes of both squadrons were in the air. The scouting planes followed in three-plane sections. Immediately after taking off, one of the Lorp!do planes from VT2B Squadron, U. S. Saratoga, pilated by Lieut. George M Maddux, developed motor trouble and had to land. Mechanics were put to work on the engine so that Lieut. Mad- dux might take off and rejoin his squadron in time for the New York 130 to 150 Due Friday. On Friday the National Capital will witness the return of the torpedo and geouting squadrons, accompanied by fighting plane squadrons, en route from New York, Boston and Philadelphia to Hampton Roads. It is expected that be- tween 130 and 150 Navy planes will fly over the city, probably early in the aft- ernoon. The fighter squadrons. com- posed of the fast single-seater fighting lanes, may land at Anacostia for re- yuelm: before continuing to Hampton All nlnnes of all the carrier squad- rons, totaling approximately 160 in number, are to return to_this city on »Saturday afternoon, May 24, to flv the largest review ever seen on the Atlantic Coast, in connection with the Curtiss Marine Trophy races. Following the take-off this morning the squadrons were organized in forma- tion and flew over the downtown sec- tion of the city in column of divisions of nine planes each, VT2B squadron from the U. S. S. Saratoga in the lead, fuueued by a torpedo squadron from the 8. Lexington, a scouting Aqundron nnd “six lcnuun[ planes from & fourth squadron.

THE EVENING. KLEIN AND CAPPER &3 ADDRESS RED CROSS Discuss Relationship of Or- ganization to Industry and Farm. ‘The relationship of the American Cross to industry and the farm was discussed before the ninth annual convention of the organization at the luncheon today by Dr. nt Secretary of erce, and Senator Arthur Cap- per of A large number of delegates Wwho gathered in the Mayflower Hotel for the luncheon also heard Karl A. Bickel, president of the United Press clation, discuss “The Newspaper as a Connecting Link Between the Red Cross and the Home.” Augustus K. Oliver, chairman of the Pittsburgh chapter, presided and introduced the speakers. Dr. Klein told the delegates, in pay- ing tribute to the Red Cross, that the relationship of organized relief to busi- ness is twofold. “First, there is the obvious necessity' of close collabora- tion between the two in the actual| undertaking and in overcoming any given prices,” he said. “Secondly, the results of each of these humanitarian achievements are of profund conse- quences to business, which, I need hardly say, depends upon material well being.” Purchasing power, he said, “is of the very essence of industrial and commercial health. But purchas- ing power is gravely impaired—or wiped out almost wholly—when physi- cal disaster comes. g Interested as War Governor. Senator Capper told the delegates that he became interested in the Red Cross while war Governor of Kansas. The death rate of mothers is 50 per cent greater in the 48 States than it should be, Senator Capper said. He added that the problem presented by this condition is one of the gravest con- fronting the rural population. “Recent statistics reveal that in 1,500 |of the 3.500 counties in the United States, there is no form of public health nursing,” he 'said. “This means that standards of health in these sparsely settled rural districts are to be raised, >pidemics prevented, the lives of mothers and infants saved, it must come through extension of public health nursing, such as that sponsored by the American Red r0sS.” Cross,’ Mr. Bickel complimented the organ- ization on its resourcefulness and its readiness to offer aid in every emerg- ency. He told the delegates that news- papers generally evince an interest in the organization’s work and that in many ways the newspapers, through in- formative articles, co-operation in dis- | aster relief and educational u'tlvmes.‘ co-operate in its work. Delegates to the convention this morning took part in seven group dis- cussions of m:ucullr organization ac- tivities and Junior Red Cross dele- STAR, WASHINGTON held their final session, with le-l ry Bruce Wilson, their director, sum- ming up the work of meeting. Means by which the junior delegates numbering mcre than 200 might share the beneflt of their attendance with members of their home chapters were discussed at the home meeting. This afternoon the junior delegates were taken on a sightseeing trip of Wash- ington. Tomorrow the convention will be concluded with a final general ses- sion, at which Mr, Wilson will be the principal speaker. Describes Elba Flood. A dramatic description of how the Red Cross gave emergency relief to the town of Elba, Ala., when flood waters inundated the town on March 14, 1929, and later rehabilitated the community, was given before the assembled dele- gates at the :nnunl convention dinner last evening by W. Brunson, disaster chairman of the caflee County Chapter in Alabama. The dinner was held in the May- flower Hotel and was largely attended. Dean Charles E. Jackson, chairman of the Grand Rapids, Mich., Chapter, pre- cided, and_addresses were delivered by Miss Nan Dorsey, superintendent of the Red Cross Students’ Home, London, England; Dr. Thomas E. Green, secre- tary of the convention and director of the national organization's speakers’ service, and Dr. Rene Sand, technical counselor at Paris for the League of Red Cross Societies. Elba is situated at the intersection of two tributaries to the Mississippi River, and once the flood waters swept over the town the destruction was immedi- ate and far reaching. Mr. Brunson re- | ported that today the town is much the same as before the flood, due chiefly to the efforts of the Red Cross and the co-operation of public officials and citi- zens of surrounding towns, Estimates Value, “In money, the Red Cross spent about $35,000 in emergency relief,” he said, “and about $65,000 for permanent re- habil:tation. However, these figures do not_represent the true economic value of the work done. I doubt that any one could correctly estimate the value of the work done for the protection of the | health of the citizens of our town.” Dr. Green, who has been identified with the national organization for many years, told the delegates that/ne has witnessed. a heartening change in con- ventions in recent years. “I have been watching your faces as the days and years have gone by,” he said, “and, be- lieve me or not, I have seen.a progres- sion there—in sincerity, in devotion, in unselfish service. “Back some years ago,” he said, if“there used to be in our organization an eagerness about this thing position and compensation. We have heard very little about that for the last few years. ‘The Red Cross has been so busy living up to its ideals that it has forgotten those sordid things.” Tells of Foreign Work. ‘The varied activities of the Red Cross ! Societies in European countries were de- scribed by Dr. Sand, who delivered mes- sages of greeting from the League of Red Cross Socleties and paid tribute to Judge John Barton Payne, its chairman. ‘The soclety accomplished “a huge task” in disaster relief in Europe in 1929 and is continuing that work this year, he reported. All the societies keep in mind the part they would have to play in the event of war, he said. “Every one of them,” he asserted, “is at a Proof iciency and economy/ Of the hundreds of thousands of owners of General a Proof of trouble-free operation!

The progress accomplished by the va- rious societies in the nursing fleld, he said, is “on the whole quite satisfac- tory.” He referred to the Junior Red Cross as “our most promising field, be- cause it deals with the future genera- tion, because it is 100 per cent educa- tional and constructive, and because it | is susceptible of quicker and larger de- velopments than the senior Red Cross.” | Music was furnished at the dinner by the United States Navy Band Orches- tra, under direction of Lieut.
