Edison invented the electric light, though he may not have realized it at the time, he was making possible the night airmail and passenger service which now laces the country together in a great network. This was revealed strikingly Friday wight when final inspection was made ‘of & score of great beacon lights, spaced at 10-mile intervals between the Na- tional Capital and Pittsburgh, put in operation in preparation for the inau- guration of airmail service Monday between this city and Pittsburgh. No one who has not flown an airway at night, especially an airway over such broken and unhospitable country as that along the new Pittsburgh airway, can conceive what a boon a few electric lights can be. Light Indispensable. The beacons, lighthouses of the air, are an even greater blessing to the night-fiying pilot than lighthouses are to the sailor. If the sallor gets lost, he can lay to or anchor overnight without any great danger until he can see where he is going. The aviator cannot stop without landing. If he is lost, he must Leep on going. The 20 beacons and 4 lighted in- termediate landing fields along the 192- | mile stretch between Washington and Pittsburgh will be kept in operation nightly from now on to care for addi- tional traffic expected to result from | the extension of airmail service between the two citles. Two inspectio. flights were made last night from the Department of Commerce Aeronautics Branch station at Bolling Fleld, covering the section of the airway between Washington and Prederick, Md., a four-place cabin monoplane of the airways division, flown by William T. Miller, making both trips. Beacons Inspected. ‘The first trip began just before dark, permitting observation of the turning on of the lighting equipment along the airway. The second siarted at 9:15 o'clock, when Miller took off from the rough surface of Bolling Field with three passengers—Frederick R. Neely, chief of the Information Division of the Aeronautics Branch; George Gardner of the editorial staff of the division and the writer. The wind was from the west, and Miller took off toward the Anacostia Naval Air Station, climbing over the dark waters of the Potomac with the lights of Potomac Park thrusting a brilliant wedge into the darkness on the right. As the lights of the city began to drop below and spread out in a be- wildering array, Washington - Hoover Airport appeared under the left wing, and the field floodlights snddenly spread a fan of light over the landing area as the roar of our motor was heard. The glass roof of the Lincoln Memo- rial, glowing with a milky radiance, formed a striking guide from the skies immediately below, and then the bea- con light on Wardman Park Hotel, No. 1 beacon on the airway. began casting a brief glow into the cabin at the rate of six flashes per minute. Behind could be seen the green blinker marking Bolling Field, blinking its ‘“‘dot-dash- dot” code number. Above it swept the beam of the mighty 36-inch airway’s beacon which has just been installed on top of a building in the St. Elizabeth Hospital grounds. Gleams Like Stars, Ahead winked a white star, with a tiny pin-point of red flashing beneath it. This was No. 2 beacon, on gressional Airport, at Halpine, Md., 20 miles out of Bolling Fleld. The great illuminated bulk of the National Cathedral slipped by under the left wing. The street lights were becoming less frequent below, and the house ghts spread farther apart. ‘Wisconsin avenue, however, was ulsing artery of light stretching out to the dark country ahead. The Congressional Airport beacon, with its red identification light blinking its number, “dot-dash-dot,” was reached and passed. The code would tell the night pilot who could see no other light that he was passing No. 2 beacon 20 miles out of Washington, and the course light would show him the line of the airway to the next beacon. The lights of Rockville glowed below, yeflecting from the cabin roof so brightly that the dial of a watch could be read. We were a little less than 15 minutes out of Bolling Field, having lost time climbing and half circling the ‘Wardman Park beacon to pick up the course light and look back at Bolling Field. Now No. 3 beacon, mnear Gaithers- burg, Md., began to turn from an os- cillating star into a swinging beam, and beyond it could be seen the flash- ing pin-point of No. 4 beacon, near the foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain. In the blackness there could occa- slonally be made out a vague splotch which might have been a plowed fleld or apcnd. The next beacon was passed and Miller jerked a thumb to the left. “Sugar Loaf,” he shouted. Straining eyes made out a vaguely dark mass, revealed for what it really was once each six minutes by the re- volving beacon, which tipped a liitle clump of trees on the peak of the mountain with a flitting beam cf light. This tiny point of the mountain crest was a famous lookout and signal post during the Civil War, commanding a view of the Potomac River fords. Frederick Sighted. Beyond_the mountain appeared the lights of Frederick, with the next bea- con flashing from the crest of South Mountain to the left and the green blinker of the next fleid gleaming its welccme to the pilot from just Beyond the town. Miller headed to the right off the airway, directly for the field blinker, passing over the heart of Frederick. Soon the fleld boundary lights could be seen, marking out a great L-shaped landing area against the dark ground. Red obstructicn lights glowed along two sides and tiny green points of light in- dicated the ends of the runways. ° “The field is leased and maintained by the Department of Commerce,” Fred Neely explained. “The long runway is 3,000 feet in length. That would look iike a million dollars if we had to get dewn in a hurry, wouldn't 1t?” Miller circled the fiela once, throttled down his motor, switched on two power- ful landing lights far ou on the wings, Which beamed through a ground mist, and stuck the nose acwn m a long glide into the field. The Ianding lights Picked up a big tree, a white house and a red barn, marked by an obstruc- tion light, and the plane slipped over & Tow of red lights along a telephone line, then over a row of white lights on the fleld boundary, between the two reen runway lights, and roared along 0 feet off the ground down the length of the 3,000-foot runway. The lighted wind ccne and green blinker flashed by and the nose went up, over the green runway lights, the boundary lights and another row of red lights along a sec- ond telephone line. Circles Fields. Miller circled still another time and then dropped down again to “drag” the short runway. One more circuit, with the landing lights directed straight down, to look over the method of in- stallation of the fleld blinker, and he circled once to gain altitude and then headed back on the line of beacons for_home. While still nearly 30 miles out, the great beacon of St. Elizabeth's could be seen winking away steadily. The Ward- man Peark beacon, 10 miles closer, could THE SUNDAY Adams Tries Autogiro GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FLY TO PRESIDENT'S CAMP. Assistant Secretary of the Navy David 8.

OPPOSES PURCHASE OF WRIGHT MOTORS ‘BUTCHER MURDER' DENIED BY WIDOW La Guardia Says Company Confessed Slayer of Brook- Cut Wages—Asks U. S. Deliveries Refused. Representative Fiorello H. La Guar- dia, Republican, New York, in a letter | made public here yesterday urged Pat- rick J. Hurley, Secretary of War, to refuse deliveries of airplane motors from the Wright Aeronautical Corpo- ration of Paterson, N. J, on the ground that this company has been guilty of unfairly slashing wages. In making public his protest to the Secretary of War, Mr. La Guardia said: Cites Specific Case. “Shorty after Secretary cf Labor Doak and Mr. Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, made the general charge that there was a concerted effort to reduce in this country, a denial was heard from several sources. It was also stated that the charge was too general and not_sufficiently specific. “Here is one instance where a com- pany enjoying millions of dollars of Government, contracts started a 10 per cent reduction of wages in the latter part of 1930 and now have reduced wages to 25 per cent of the prevailing rate of wages for the same work in the locality in which the factory is located. Urges Legislation. “Ccngress recently enacted a law compelling all Government contractors on buildings to pay the prevailing rate of wages. The President, in signing this bill, announced his approval of the bill and stated that the spirit of the law would be strictly enforced. Congress was assured at the time that Government contractors daing work cther than building were paying the prevailing rate of wages and there was no_necessity to embrace them within the law. “I am certain that the law will be amended as soon as Congress convenes, bringing in all Government contrac- tors so as to avold the shameful con- ditions existing in the Wright factory at Paterson.” JOE CRONIN TO SPEAK Burroughs Citizens to Study Plan for Community Center.

Miller swung off the course to inves- M‘llfe the bright fan-glow rising out of the Potomac Valley at Glen Echo, Md. The new swimming pool, brightly lighted, provided the most beautiful spectacle of the flight, glowing like a magnificent green jewel against a black velvet ground. A few moments later and Bolling Field appeared below, the floodlights going on to spread a warm bath of welcoming light over the landing area. The brief view of the lighting fa- cllities along the new airway are only an indication of the preparation made by the Department of Commerce for regular air travel over this route.

NEW YORK, June 6.—A trial of hu- man fragments revealing a new Brook- lyn “butcher murder” led tonight to the door of ycung Charles Obietes and past him to the widow of the murdered man, Lena Zubenski. Obletes confessed today that he slew Andrew Zubenski, speakeasy owner, dis- membered the body and over a period of two days disposed of the parts in various sections cf the city. He said the crime was done at the urge of Mrs. Zubenski and he was paid $300 for doing it. ‘The motives, Obietes told police, was Mrs. Zubenski’'s fear that her husband intended to return to Cleveland, Ohio, where they lived until eight years ago, and “tell” about the death of her first husband, Adam Vilentis. Denied Body That of Mate. Mrs. Zubenski persisted in denials of any knowledge of her husband’s where- abouts. She said he left home March 25. She went to the morgue, viewed the assembled parts of the body and said it was not that of her husband. “Objetes is a liar and he's crazy,” she said. “The body isn't by husband’s. ]He's probably out West, around Cleve- and. Obletes was questioned more than eight hours before he confessed to Capt. Carey of the Brooklyn police. He fixed the date of the slaying as March 25. Two days later came the first discovery that murder had been done; a human thigh, wrapped in newspaper, was found on the Willlamsburg Bridge. Subsequently other parts of the body were found: some in the East River, others wrapped in newspaper and tossed behind a pile of Jumber. Police took Obietes this afternoon to the lot where the body was dis- membered. Collapses at Scene. ;‘l'l'h‘l is the place,” he said, and then collapsed. Zubenski in 1922 was bartender for Mrs. Zubenski’s first husband, Vilentis, in Cleveland. On May 23, 1922, Vilentis’ body was found in his back yard. He had been killed with an blow. Zubenski and Vilentis' widow were questioned, but permitted to go. They came to Brooklyn and established a on the night of he, with a friend, went for & walk with Zubenski, hit him on the head with a brick, dragged the body to a vacant lot and dismembered it, using a knife and a cleaver. Obietes formerly “l:l employed as a butcher, police were told. Mrs. Zubenski, who is being held with Obletes, is 43 years old. Obletes is 26. Makes New Confession. Obietes tonight made a second con- fession, in which he gave details of the slaying differing materially from the version he had given earlier, Brooklyn police said. ‘Whereas he first insisted he had slain Zubenski on a vacant lot, tonight Obletes said he killed the speakeasy owner in the kitchen of the speakeasy. He said he then dragged the body into a wash room off the kitchen and, while Mrs. Zubenski waited in an adjoining room, cut up the body. Then Obletes sald he called Mrs. Zubenski and she helped him wrap up the various pieces. She accompanied him in a taxicab, he asserted, when he Afi:;t;red the packages on succeeding nights. sl STUDENTS ANALYZE RUM Inoia, Mich., High School Pupils Test Beizures for Alcohol.

FOULDS Sergt. Hartman Recalls Hop With Assistant Air Chief in Army’s First Plane. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, June 6 (N.ANA)— Mitchel Pleld was strangely silent. The planes cf the great Army alr show had gone some days before. Sergt. James F. Hartman, with “hash” stripes running half the length of his sleeve, each stripe for five years’ service in the United States Army, and campaign ribbons to match, sat down on the bunk in his quarters, and took off his cap. He was a bit lonesome, in a military way, and his upright pos- ture of a moment ago had relaxed. One realized that 28 years of active service had brought gray hairs previously unnoticed. He pointed to a picture on the wall. Some men were standing before an antique plane. “That was the first ship the Army had,” Hartman said, “and I was the first passenger. My pilot was Gen. Foulois, second from the right, a sec- ond lleutenant then, and as smart a cne as I ever saw. I'm the d from the left, if that interests you.” Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois is now as- sistant chief of the Army Air Force. Ship Didn't Last Year. “The old ship didn't last more than a year, but let me tell you how the Army Corps started, and how it got to be what it is today.” And Hartman eased into his story. “I went into the artillery in 1902, he said, “and after something more than three years I switched to the Sig- nal Corps. Those days no one thought much of flying, although balloons and small dirigibles were being tried out. Around 1908 we heard that our pres- ent chief, Foulois, had gone up with the firsy dirigible Washington bought. Of course I didn't know the general then, but we all had our eyes on him. He had been a “non-com” in the Spanish- American War and transferred to the regulars for the Philippine affair, dur- ing which he was commissioned in the infantry. “He had been handed over to the Sig- nal Corps, too, and we figured that if this man's Army was going to fly we would be in it before long. Who knew whether we would all be going around fighting wars from balloons?” Sergt. Hartman laughed at the thought. % Foulois Flew With Wrights. “It wasn't long,” he went on, “before the general—I mean the lieutenant— was flying in land planes with the Wright brothers, getting himself set for things that were going to happen. “In 1909 we were down at Fort Sam Houston in ‘San Antone,’ Tex., when the excitement came. The Wright peo- ple sent plane No. 1—it’s in the Smith- sonian Institution now, and I helped dismantle it and put it together again —and the fun began. There were two wooden hangars, close together. In one was a gyroscope the Army had been playing with. It wouldn’t fiy. It never 8ot off the ground. “To my mind there wasn’t much doubt about the new ship. They never would have sent it to Texas unless it was pretty certain to fly. Well, Lieut. Foulois looked it over. It was made of wood, held together with pianao wire, | and it had turn buckles. The idea was | about the same as today, except that | this plano wire operated the controls. “Lieut. Foulois took off his coat and | started tinkering with the engine. Then | he went under the plane to see what | was going on there. Next came orders to take her out of the hangar with its | dirt floor, and start her up. We did, and before long Lieut. Foulois was shooting around the field in something | that looked like a bicycle, so far as the | seating arrangement was concerned, and | making 40 miles an hour in the air. It had only a 40-horsepower motor, 80 you couldn't expect much, in comparison with the stunts of the last few weeks. “I don't think the general will mind if I say that the plane jumped around, and down on the ground we were won- dering whether we should tackle it our- selves or not. We knew the chief would be all right, but there was a pretty good chance of a passenger falling out, unless he was tied in with navy rope. Landed “Smooth as Slipper.” “Lieut. Foulois made a perfect land- ing, for those days. There may have been some jouncing up above, but he hit _the field as smooth as a slipper. He hadn't been anywhere, because there | was no place to go. He had circled around and around for quite a time— perhaps & half hour. “The next afternoon, with the weather perfect, he decided to do it | again. I went up to him, having done some of the dusting, although he had done most of it himself, and saluted. “'8ir,’ I remarked, ‘will the lieutenant | take me up in the plane?’ | “Sure,” he said. And we went up and I got a fine spanking, but the lieutenant knew how to handle the old boat. We landed | erfectly, and when Foulois asked me ow I liked it I said ‘fine,’ although it took me a few days to decide whether | I ought not go back to the artillery.” Army Plane No. 1 was in operation { less than a year, then it was replaced. Foulois was the natural authority on the trend toward the air in war, Of the group pictured before the first Army plane, Sergt. Vernon Burge, Pvt. Ernest Clarke and Sergt. Stephen J. Idzarek are now captains in the Air Force, and the shavetail Foulois is a brigadier general, During the recent maneuvers, Sergt. Hartman had charge of all telephone connections between the flying flelds of Long Island, from which the aviators took off. He goes up himself every other week. Hartman had been told that he had permission to speak frankly for pub. lication. “The general” he related, “hasn't changed a bit. He knew me right away and spoke about the old days. He's that kind. If he thought a ship was wrong today, he'd peel off his jacket and start working on it.” (Copyrisht, 1931, by North American News- aper Alliance, Inc.) IG. W.

SHIP'S CREW HEARD I CRASH INQUIRY Harvard Put Sharply to Sea Before Piling Up on Shoals, Witnesses Say. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, June 6.—Testimony that the coastwise liner Harvard was proceeding at full speed, the night was clear and that ship's officers changed the course sharply to seaward just be- fore the crash last Saturday on Point Arguello shoals wes given at the Fed- eral inquiry here today by officers and members of the crew. John Allen, quartermaster, said the wheel was spun sharply to starbeard, in an effort to run to sea, just before the liner piled up on the shoals. He s2id he could see the tops of the bluffs of the coast but not the shore line. Albert Leplante, forecastle watchman, said he saw some passengers offer liquor to members of the crew as the lifeboats were manned, but at no time did he ses any licensed officers or members of the navigating crew drinking. The 500 pas- sengers and the crew were safely re- moved from the steamer. ‘The surf widened already plainly visi- ble cracks in the abandoned vessel's sides today.
