AVIATION BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON. giro on the south lawn of the IM RAY'S feat of landing an auto- | White House probably will stand as one of aviation's finest ex- | amples cf showmanship. It was dramatic in the extreme, spectacular, splendidly executed and performed be- fore an audience which could not be <mproved upon in the wildest dreams of the most ambitious showman. “Of course it was just a stunt,” Ray admitted. “I wouldn't want to do it regularly.” The stage setting was perfect. The occasion was the presentation of the Collier Trcphy, highest American award for aviation achievement, to Harold F. Pitcairn and his associates for develop- ment and demonstration of the auto- 0. On the south lawn, under the high trees. the big bronze trophy stood on a mahcgany table. There were micro- phones, since the event was to go all over the Nation by radio, and the talk- ing newsreel men were there in force. Photographers and newspaper men were on hand to send the story and pictures everywhere. Down by the fountain motion picture trucks stood side by side. The group which was assembling to witness the presentation was most bril- liant. It was headed by the President and several members of his cabinet. ‘There was rank enough from the Army and Navy to give an ensign or second lieutenant nervous prostration. The heads of Army, Navy and Marine Corps aviation were there, with the junior cabinet officers in charge of aeronautics. The aercnautics branch of the Department of Commerce Was represented by its highest officials. Foreign military and aviation attaches were there. Former winners of the Collier Trophy, headed by Wright, dean of all airplane pilots, gathered. The group included many of the most distinguished leaders of American civil aviation. It was, fact, so brilliant a crcwd that no one even remarked the absence of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. ‘Weather Adds Drama. ‘The weather added to the element of drama. There was a storm in the offing, which struck soon afterward with gale force. The wind was uneven and shifting around the compass quar- ter from south to east. ‘The area on which Ray had to land was painfully small, surrounded on two sides by high, spreading trees. At the ncrth end of the little clearing was the ‘White House, with radio wires on top increasing the hazard. At the south end was the fountain and the movie trucks. To add to the difficulty, the lawn slopes down from the White House to the fountain, quite sharply at points. In making his landing Ray's mind must have been as busy as a juggler handling a dozen china plates. He had to come in over the White House, as close as it could be clipped with safety, to hit the lawn at all. He had watch the veering breeze to prevent being drifted into the trees. He knew that he must watch most carefully for the blanketing effect of the trees on the wind as he dropped in through the last few feet of his landing. Then he had to allow for landing down hill —with moving picture trucks and the fountain at the bottom. It was a tough spot and the circumstances made failure unthinkable. Ray realized fully just how much was at stake and how many obstacles stood between him and success. The slight- est miscalculation of any of the many factors entering into the landing would have resutled in a failure which would have been heard around the country and which wculd probably undo the work of years. The Critical Moment. Knowing all this, Ray came in quite | carefully the first time to “drag the field” and to feel out the winds. He| dropped to the level of the tree tops, noted that the wind was drifting him rapidly to the west, opened up his motor and pulled around for another trial. the second approach he was much closer to the Whtie House, but apparently was afraid he would land 50 far down the slope as to endanger the movie trucks. He pulled up and circled around above Lafayette Square, north of the White House. A third time he shut off his motor and settled gently like a parachute, nose held well t> the east to counter- balance the drift of the wind, appar- ently directly over the White House. ‘The watchers stiffened, holding their breath. The autogiro appeared to grow amazingly in size; the lawn to shrink. Cameras clicked and movie cameras whirred. Ray, coolly looking over the side of his cockpit, was for the moment | a bigger man than the President and all his counselors. The autogiro dropped in past the |y White House portico. The trees eut off | the wind. He shifted the nose due south. There was no sound from the watchers, save the cameramen, who were busy people. Ten feet cff the ground, Ray dropped the nose just the barest trifle. Tail skid and wheels struck the ground with a gentle thump. ‘There was a little puff of brown dust from under the tail skids and a tiny puff of white as it crossed a chalk line on the medicine ball court. The machine rolled a scant 10 feet, less than a fuselage length, down the slope toward the movie trucks, There was & sigh from the gathered notables and & brisk round of handclapp! An Aviation Epic. Ray opened up his engine, spun the machine around and taxied up the slope toward the President and the big bronze trophy. White House policemen and White House aides kept back the mighty as Ray came along. Twenty- five feet from the trophy he stopped, opened and shut the throttle a couple of times, cut the switch, locked out at the President coming up to shake his hand, grinned happily, the author of the first chapter in an aviation epic. The take-off was nearly as spectacu- Jar as the land:ing. With the aid of willing hands, Ray got the autogiro backed up to the gravel drive under the south portico, warmed up his engine threw in the clutch to start his rotor going. When the rotor was turning up about 125 revolutions per minute, he disengaged the clutch, turned up the nose propeller and held the brakes. With the motor roaring wide out. he released the brakes and started rolling down the hill toward the movie trucks. He gathered speed, but the wheels MOTOR DON’'TS DON'T LET YOUR BATTERY RUN Down ! i THE BATTERY 15 A VITAL PART OF THE CAR!

The trucks were nearing with a rush and still the wheels | remained on the ground. ‘Then Ray pulled back the stick and the machine fairly leaped off the ground in a tremendously steep climb which in | the blink of an eye carried him clear | of the tree tops. He swung to the right, the trees cut him from view. An instant later he appeared a full thou- |sand feet high. President Hoover smiled delightedly. Senator Hiram Bingham, who has seen the Hoover face in all kinds of situations, says it never beamed so happily as when Ray climbed into> the sky to close his remarkable demonstration. Ray a Real Veteran. Jim Ray is one of aviation's real vet- erans. He has been flying since the days of the original Curtiss Flying Service, where he teamed up with “Casey” Jones, Bill McMullen and Dick Depew. He has been connected with Harold Pitcairn for a long time and was operations manager of the Pitcairn airmail service when it was opened between New York, Washing- ton and Atlanta in 1928. When Pitcairn sold the mail line to Eastern Air Tran- sport, Ray went over to the autogiro | business and became vice president of the company. He was the first man in this country to fly an autogiro and has more flying time on autogiros than all other American autogiro pilots put to- gether. Ray is most pleasant mannered, quiet, an intelligent engineer. He is |admired and respected in aviation cir- cles. His chief eccentricity is his fly- ing helmets. He wears them with the fur side outside and they are famous from coast to coast. New Airmail Line Planned. Within & month a contract will be awarded for inauguration of airmail service between the National Capital and Pittsburgh, the Post Office Depart- ment has announced. The announce- ment follows several delays. Funds for the extension of the Cleveland-Pitts- burgh mail line to Washington were provided by Congress and made im- mediately available last February. The funds provided were sufficient to cover operation of the line from March 1 to Jul};l, when it is to be made perma- nen It is expected that the contract will be awarded to Pennsylvania Airlines, now operating airmail passenger and express service between Pittsburgh and Cleveland and passenger-express serv- ice on to Washington. This line, estab- lished by Clifford Ball, has a splendid record of operations over the moun- tains between Pittsburgh and Wash- ington. Flying over some of the worst country imi le, Ball's line never has had an accident. It has been fly- ing passengers longer than any line operating out of the Capital. One of the arguments in favor of awal the contract to the Ball line is that the local representative, Jerry to| O'Donovan, is going to get married right away and anybody knows a man ought to have more than just plain passenger revenues to support & family properly. Ask Will Rogers. Ask any- . Ask Jerry. Or, better yet, ask Cliff Ball. Heavy Painting. The experience of the Ludington Line in reducing the weight of its tri- motored Stinson 50 pounds ap! merely by changing the color of the paint on wings and fuselage is an indi- cation of the u‘re and attention to weight is reduced to about 90 pount however, as the finish dries. = The Ludington planes have been painted a deep, rich maroon and gold. The maroon paint contains a large quantity of red lead, which is quite heavy. The new color combination is El;&:rla:l sn]ld. 'nm"!;l.rlck is much | , the coloring mat being lamp- bhck"h!uteldtm o(:lfln‘ lead, which ac- counts for erence of 50 pounds tnA'flgll)t. nother peculiar feature of the change is that the black seems to in- crease the apparent size of the plane through some optical fllusion, though | the maroon used is so dark as to ap- | pear almost black in certain lights. Airmail Record Falls Again. ‘The passing of each month is coming to mean the passing of another record or airmail operations on the Eastern Alr Transport line through the National Capital. The first three months of 1931 have witnessed the establishment of as many new monthly records for quan- | tity of mail flown. In March the total was 87,227 pounds, or more than 43 tons, flown on the route between New York and iami. This exceeds the February fig- ure, previous high-water mark, by more than three tons and is nearly 20 tons greater than the quantity flown in March, 1930. The 43 tons of mail flown last month | is the equivalent of some 4,000,000 indi- | vidual letters and kages, it is esti- | mated by postal officlals. During the | three years of operation of the coastal mail route some 67,000,000 individual pleces of mail have been flown over the i Toute through Washington. | A fleet of 46 airmail and passenger | planes was required to handle Eastern | Alr ‘Transport’s mail and passenger | business during the past month. The | figures do not include operations over | the new Richmond-Jacksonville cut-off, ;whlch is expected to add materially to ‘Lhe sum of future records.

Lockheed Orions, low-wing monoplanes with retractable landing-gear, capable of a cruising speed of 175 miles per hour and top speed of 219 miles, will | negotiate the 725 miles from St. Louis | to Houston in about four and one-half hours. The route will be an almost idh’efl. airline by way of Little Rock, Ark., and Shreveport, La. | Local traffic arrangements for the service are being made by Thomas H. | McKee, native Washingtonian and for- |mer secretary to Senator Wadsworth | of New York, who flew to the Capital from Houston during the past week in |one of the planes %o be used on the line.

Present air passenger service between St. Louis and Houston is by way of Tulsa, Dallas and Fort Worth. The proposed direct line through Little Rock and Shreveport will reduce the flying distance 165 miles, McKee sald that plans are being con- sidered for fast, frequent service be- tween Atlanta and Birmingham, which wili extend the direct air passenger communicaticns from the Capital into Alabama. Extension from Houston to Brownsville, connecting with the Mex- ican and Central I systems, also is contemplated. | While fast ship; of She Lockheed the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, — n-U. N the early autumn of 1751, a journey fraught with affe@ionate anxiety was undertaked on the high seas. In that year the devoted boy went with his half-brother Lawrence in quest ot the latter's health to Barbados, a British possession in the Wedt Indics. Here he contraéted small- pox while a guedt in the home of Major Clarke, governor of the island. No journey was ever made by Washington without its lesson. Though favored with rich eoil, he found Barbados planters poor, which prompted him to resolve that he would ever be free from the enemy called Debt. District National Guard The effectiveness and efficiency of the medical center organization in the Na- tional Guard of the District of Co- lumbia under the direction of Maj. George J. Allen, medical department, were attested during the week by Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, commanding the local militia brigade, who sponsored the organization of a centralized medical unit with the purpose in view of im- proving this feature of the Guard’s activities. ‘The center was established about a year ago, the details having been placed entirely under the jurisdiction of Maj. Allen, veteran medical officer of the Guard, who is the only surgeon in the unit. All of the examinations of re- cruits, men for re-enlistment and the administration of vaccines and Eeruas is personally done by this medical offl- cer, leaving the others in the Guard free to confine their duties to train- ing for fleld exercises. The medical center has proved & most valuable addition to the activities of the National Guard, according Gen. to . Stephan. The preventive medical work | this is now kept up to date, so that when the militia is ready to go to its train- ing encampment the members are all immunized and the records completed, so that that does not have to be done in the field as in the past. Quarters i the Sixth street armory have been assigned the center, away from the organizations engaged in their weekly drills. They have been fitted up entirely by Maj. Allen and complete equipment is available not only for the medical work in connection necessary with recruiting, but to take care of any casualties which occur during the eve- | ning of a drill. Not only has Maj. Allen fitted out the quarters for the efficient performance of the medical detalls, but he has done several things for the benefit of the men | who appear there for examination. He has acquired bathrobes and slippers for the recruits to wear while awaiting their turns in the medical examining room. Many other comforts have been pro- vided. Maj. Allen, who served in the Med- ical Dej it of the local Guard prior to the World War, and who also served on the Mexican border with the District troops, formerly commanded the t Detachment of the type are virtuslly unknown on Eastern air transport lines, they are in very common use in the West and South- west.
