Brown of Ohio, Postmaster General, will make &n important ad- dress in the National Radio Forum, ar- ranged by The Washington Star and brosdcast over the coast-to-coast net- work of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem tomorrow. ‘With the development of the airmail service and the tremendous increase in oceanic mail routes, along with the great wth in the ordinary domestic mail, the postal service presents at this time a number of vitally important problems. The major ones will be dis- cussed by the Postmaster General in this radio address. Probably no member of President Hoover's cabinet has made fewer public utterances than has Mr. Prown since taking over the administration of the affairs of the Post Office Department. His theory ‘of public service seems to have been “say nothing and saw wood.” ‘The magnitude of “he problems with which he is busily engaged in an en- deavor to solve to the satistaction of the greatest number of people relates so |o|\e‘y to the American home life and to the progress of business that the time has ‘arrived when the Postmaster Gen- eral thinks it would be helpful, not only to his department but to the millions of mail users, that he discuss them publicly. Interest Attached to Address. The Radio Forum has been selected for this purpose, and there is every rea- son_to know that what Mr. Brown is oing to say on this occasion will be awked forward to with great interest throughout the country. This will be Mr. Brown’s debut as & Hoover's in the National Radio Forum. Brown will speak from the studio of the Columbia Broadcasting System in " | the Shoreham Building, and is uled to begin at 9:30 o'clock.

The heretofore mild interest .of the eitizens of Arlington County in the case has been fanned to fever heat by the arrest of Campbell, a fact that was easily determined yesterday and today by the large number of persons who would have been otherwise engaged, who gathered about the court house and pried officials and newspaper men with qu as to the latest develop- ments. Campbell is known by perhaps as many people as any other one man in the county, due both to the fact that he has always lived here and because ©of his activties in the real estate fleld. ‘The heretofore only casual interest of Arlingtonians in the case was due to the faet that both the body and auto- mobile of the slain clerk were found on FPederal property and the names of no citizens of Arlington County had been connected with the case. Campbell is the fifth suspect in the case to be ar- rested and held on a murder warrant. Miss Baker had lived in the county but @ short time before her death and was little known here, as were all of the preceeding suspects. cunp‘:e'll is & member of an old and prominent family, his father, who is still llm*,. having moved from Alex- andria, where his ancestors had made their home for generations.

In their many conferences on this subject the two men formed & strong 1 attachment for each other, and is believed that this was responsible, more than anything else, for Mr. Brown being asked to take over tne Post Office Department when Mr. Hoover was form- ing his cabinet.

As a result there is a possibility the board will recommend a delay in the construction of 6-inch-gun ships to al- low time for experimentation with the new hybrid craft. In line with previous rulings that the United States should have a minimum of twenty-one 8-inch cruisers, the board doubtless will recommend that existing appropriations or authorizations for & total of 18 such vessels, the maximum permitted by the treaty, continue in force.

CURTISS DIES IN HOSPITAL AFTER OPERATION {(Continued From First Page) on May 21, 1878, is now called by the Chamber of Commerce “the ‘grldyle of aviation,” because of what Curtiss and his assoclates did there. At the age of 16 he started a bicycle shop, as did those other pioneers of American aviation, the Wright brothers, and from that went into bicycle racing. He sought some means to make them g0 tm;erl.fl\mt thm were no engines would meet the demand, so - tiss decided to make one, e Used Can for Carburetor. With & tomato can for a carburetor, he bullt his first motor bicycle in 1901. He continued to experiment with | lightweight motors and evolved his fa- mous V-type motor, a departure in de- sign reflected in the radial airplane en- gines of today. In 1902 he won the New York State road race, competing with the best riders of two continents. In 1904 he set a speed record at Or- mond Beach, Fla, of 10 miles in 8 minutes and 54 seconds and in 1906, over the same course, traveled faster than any man ever had before, a mile in 26 2-5 seconds, or at the rate of ap- proximately 140 miles an hour. That record stood for years. His fame spread and drew the atten- tion of the late Maj. Thomas Scott Baldwin, builder and operator of bal- loons. In 1904 the two men met in Hammondsport and installed & Curtiss motor 1n Baldwin's balloon, the Cali- fornia Arrow. With this machine they made a circular flight to Oakland, Calif., in August, 1904, first to fly that way. From that time on the name of Cur- tiss has been as closely linked with air- plane as horse with buggy, ship with a. Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the. telephone, commissioned Curtiss to bulld a motor for a man-carrying kite. Mrs. Bell joined with him in financing what was called the Aerial Experiment Association. Gliders were experimented with a for a time, and then the men turned their attention to powered airplanes. First Flight in 1908, Lieut. Thomas Selfridge, one of the assoclates, was responsible for the first machine, known as the Red Wing, which made its first flight March 12, 1908, over ice-covered Lake Keuka, near Hammondsport. Curtiss, in his turn, demonstrated & plane he called the June Bug. He used less wing spread, a higher powered mo- tor, small horizontal rudders at each wing tip, forerunner of the present day allerons. The Scientific American had offered & prize for the airplane that first would fly a kilometer at an announced, offi- cially observed test. Curtiss accepted the challenge and set July 4, 1908, as the date, at the old race track near Hammondsport. The magazine reported the flight as follows: “The instant it was released the aero- plane shot forward with constantly in- creasing velocity. It required only 12 seconds and a distance of 100 feet be- fore the machine rose into the air. As he approached the end of the track, Mr. G. H. Curtiss, the aviator, steered his machine to the left in order to pass around the vineyard. The machine kept rising, It -yed rapidly on at s height of some 20 feet. As it neared the fin- ishing post it dropped to a height of 15 feet, and then continueu onward, mak- ing & wide sweep to the left. The dis- tance traversed was easily a mile.” The experimental group bullt another successful machine, then disbanded. Curtiss kept on. He put floats on the June Bug and called it the Loon, Established California Camp. He worked and labored, tested, tore up, built anew. In 1911 he established & camp at North Island, near San Diego, Calif,, and with Lieut Ellyson of the Navy and Capt. Beck of the Army, set By the Associated Press.

In the first statement that has been issued by the Democratic National Committee regarding the London Naval Treaty, Jouett Shouse said last night that while the fate of the treaty “at al] times was in the hands of the Demo- crats” they had refused to make & party matter of foreign relations. The text of the statement by the chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee follows in part: “We have had, and doubtless will have, more statements claiming the rati- fication of the disarmament conference treaty as & great achlevement of the Republican party. Recently there was issued by the Republican National Com- mittee Press Bureau a release to which was attached the name of Representa- tive Temple of Pennsylvania, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, hailing this treaty as the leading ac- complishment of ‘the Hoover adminis- tration, with the plain purpose of em- ploying this triumph as ammunition in the coming congressional campaign. “The ratification of the treaty dur- ing the special session just closed was due principally to Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the minority leader in the Senate, whose defense of the. London cove in the negotiation of which he participated, was not only the best argument in favor of the treaty, but one that produced the most definite effect. “During the whole treaty fight there has not issued from the Democratic National Executive Commitiee one word of opposition or one statement that might have tended to destroy the work of the London Conference. “It is a favorite contention of the administration spokesmen in their ef- forts to deprecate the charges of ad- ministration inefficiency to accuse the Democrats of being actuated merely by a desire to embarrass the President and to cause delay. This was notably so during the long period when the tariff was under consideration. It might be pertinent when these charges are repeated, as they will be when the Congressmen fighting for re-election are trying to defend the administra- tion and to show that its barrenness of helpful legislation was due to Dem- ocratic obstructionists, to recall the his- tory of the treaty just ratified.” — Pt P Cancer Authority Dies.

By the Associated Pre CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 23.—R. A. Hosler, Detroit, was injured today and his plane demolished when he crashed while attempting to take off on the Cincinnati-Little Rock leg of the all- American Air Derby. Airport men said Hosler placed five gallons of extra gasoline in his cockpit, and that this weight evidently threw his plane off balance. The plane ca- reened down the runway and crashed from only a short distance in the air. Hosler was definitely eliminated from the race. The flyer was taken to General Hos- pital. He was conscious when reached by fleld attendants. Hosler held ninth position in total elapsed flying time in the derby. With the competitive fleld reduced, 11 pilots took off at one minute inter- vals this morning on the Cincinnati- Little Rock leg of the derby, which will be worth $15,000 tn the winner. Herman Hamer, Chicago, who led the entries in elapsed time, was the first to take off. He left promptly at 9 o'clock, Eastern standard time, for Lit- tle Rock, 525 miles from here. Lee Gehlbach, Little Rock, second in total elapsed time, left immediately after Hamer and hoped to receive his home city's welcome before Hamer's arrival. Gehlbach led in actual flying time on the first day, but was sul yesterday by Hamer. The derby started Monday at Detroit. ‘The route carried the pilots to Buffalo, New York and Cincinnati, Hamer had an advantage of 13 minutes 49 seconds over Gehlbach as the planes left here for the overnight stop at Little Rock.

By the Associated Press LONDON, July 23.—The London Times today hails the ratification of the London naval treaty by the United States Senate as a victory for Presi- dent Hoover and believes the protests of Japanese naval men will have no success in wrecking the agreement which was signed by the government and apparently approved by Japanese opinion. “Of British ratification there has never been any doubt,” the paper says editorially. “Criticism of the cruiser clauses by Admirals Beatty and Jellicoe created certain natural misgivings, but, broadly speaking, the nation and the House of Commons agree with the gov- ernment that the advantages prevent- ing competition in warship construc- tion will prove well worth the price being paid to secure them.” NORMAL WEATHER FORECAST FOR D.

RADIO ANNOUNCER WHO FOUGHT MAYOR IS SLAIN IN DETROIT _ (Continued ] : Page) Police Commissioner Thomas C. Wil- cox said he did not attach any signifi- cance to the fact that the slaying was committed a short time after the recall election. He said he had “certain in- formation” which he could not disclose at present. Coming as it did on the heels of the mayor’s defeat, the slaying was seen by some as an outgrowth of enmities caused by the campaign. Police Com- missioner Thomas C. Wilcox, however, saw no connection between the two and indicated that he attributed the slaying to Buckley's radio attacks on gangsters and gamblers. Mayor Bowles characterized Buckley's slaying as “a terrible, terrible thing.” He welcomed the assistance of State law enforcement agencies. Part of the attack on the mayor by the recall forces dealt with his al- leged connections with gamblers. Buckley's radio speeches had been di- rected ‘against downtown gambling re- sorts and other underworld activities long before the recall campaign was started. Mayor Bowles today was placed in the role of first mayor of & major Amer- ican city to be called from office. By a majority of 30,956 out of 210,- 770 votes cast, he was called from the office he has held for six months in yesterday's special election after a bitter two-week campaign. The vote was For the recall, 120,863; ngainst the re- call, 89,907, As a result, Detroit is on the thresh- old of another municipal election, its third in little more than nine months.

Two customers and five employes were in the bank when the robbers, all young men, walked in shortly after 11 am. The leader strolled over to the cashier, R. W. Bailey, and without warning slugged him over the head with the butt of a pistol. The two others took position on opposite sides of the lobby and stood guard. The leader then ordered the assistant e | cashier, H. L. Radke, to open the safe “or we’ll open you up.” ‘The robber leader then made a hurried trip through the safe and the cages, picking up $15,000 in currency and $85,000 in securities, nearly all of which were negotiable. He was joined by his two pals and all of them escaped, iAND CONCERTS.
