BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON, Aviation Editor of The Star. CLEVELAND AIRPORT, September 3.—Ground flying, or what is known in the Army Air Corps as “barracks fly- ing,” was the order of the day at the national air races yesterday as the sullen skies unburdened themselves of the annual classic since 1925, when a heayy storm raised havoc with the pro- ceedings at Mitchel Field, Long Island. Groups of the most famous pilots the country has seen put in most of the day wagging their chins in hotel lobbies and rooms until the skies began to clear toward late afternoon, and great were the deeds they recounte But in vir- tually every place where flying pecple congregated they got around sooner or later to the subject of speed flying which is the big feature of the 1931 meet. Bayles’ Feat Lends Zest. The feat of Lowell Bayles, lean, hand- some Massachusetts boy, in upsetting | the eight-year-old speed record of Lieut. Alford J. Williams, jr., though he will' not receive official recognition of his| achievement, has lent even keener zest to the anticipation with which the | fiyers here are awaiting the Bendix Transcontinental Speed Derby and the Thompson Trophy Race, the crowning speed contests of this year's races. The Bendix Derby, to be flown from Los Angeles to Cléveland, with addi- tional prizes for pilots who continue to New York in an effort to break the present transcontinental speed record | of 12 hours and 25 minutes, held by Capt. Frank M. Hawks, had to be post- poned yesterday for the second timec, because of bad weather. There are seven entrants in the derby. Four of them—Maj. James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle, Walter J. Hunter, Harold S. Johnson and Beeler Blevins —have announced that they will con- tinue on to New York in an effort to cut the transcontinental time to less | than half a day. The other three en- trants are Capt. Ira C. Eaker, cn duty | at Bolling Field, Washington, who has taken leave to begin his third cross- | continent attempt of the Summer; Lou Reichers and James Goodwin Hell, the | flying broker who has been foreing Hawks to extend himself to hold his speed supremacy. i Pilots of First Rank. | It would be difficult to find seven better pilots for such a grueling con- test, as the Bendix Derby promuses to be and it is small wonder the topic is cropping_ up so consistentiy wherey the pilots gather in dripping rain- | washed Cleveland. The Thompson, to be flown Monday | afternoon, will bring into_competition | Bayles, several of the Bendix con- | testants, and other pilots of equal | caliber, flying_specially designed and | built racing planes produced with an | eye to this coveted trophy snd the | $15,000 prizes that go with it. | The amazing performance of Bayles' Gee Bee racer in its trial runs, when | it roared off an average of 267.342 miles per hour on four heats over the speed course, making one run at the terrific spaed of 286 miles per hour, faster than | any land plone ever traveled, has led to | discussion among the military pilots of its availability as a high speed pu suit plane of the “interceptor” type now found in the British air force. Planes of Tremendous Speed. Tre British_interceptors' are designed for defense of London and are plines of tremendous speed, sacrificing per- formance in other respects to get to the scene of danger Wwith the least pos- sible delay. The Gee Bee is faster by nearly 100 miles per hour than the pursuit planes now in the Army serv- ice squadrons. It was pointed out that | the plane undoubtedly would lose much of its speed when redesignad to carry | guns, but that it still would be exceed- ingly fast. While no official steps are contemplated with regard to planes of this t; , Army officers in Cleveland are watching with keen interest the achievements of the Gee Bee and other racers which are burning the Cleveland skies. GEN. CRbWDER SUFFERS BREAKDOWN IN HEALTH Retired Army Officer and Former Ambassador to Cuba Confined to Hotel Room. By the Associated Press. COLORADO _SPRINGS, September 3—Maj. Gen. Enoch Crowder, retired | Army officer and diplomat, is confined | to his room at a hotel here by a gen-| eral breakdown in health. Friends said last night he will be| taken to a hospital at Rochester, Minn.. when he is able to travel. They did not_regard his condition as critical. The general attributed his poor health to the infirmities of age rather than to any specific allment. He is 72. He came to Colorado Springs from Chicago to visit his sister, Mrs. H. E Siebert. During the World War Gen. Crowder supervised the selective draft system. On_ his retirement, in 1923, aiter a brilliant Army career, he became Am- bassador to Cuba, serving until 1927. NEW—GRAIN ELEVATOR to Test Sea Route. CHURCHILL, Manitoba, September 3 (#).—Canada’s farthest North grain elevator went into action yesterday here on the rocky shores of Hudson Bay. Twenty-four cars of No. 1 North- ern_wheat, destined to be transported ( cverseas in a two-boat test of the day ‘riome this month, reached here Tues- ay. Forty or 50 cars are en route from the Pas, 500 miles southwest, hauled by special locomotives brought north for the grain service on the Hudson Bay Railway. It is expected all the test grain, some 600,000 bushels, will be in the Churchill elevator by September 12, when the first of the two tramp steam- | ers is expected.

CLEVELAND, September 3.—A new airplane engine material—the light weight, silver-colored metal magnesium | in its pure form—will be pitted against stee! in the hard-riding competition for speed at the national air races here. This was revealed today by a group of San Francisco pilots and desizners preparing two tery chips” to be run during the latter days of the races. So far, during tryouts, two cther planes have gone 250 miles an hour 'and a third, piloted by Lowell Bayles of Springfield, Mass,, has attained, over a measured course, an average of more than 267 miles an hour, which unoffi- ciall a mile above the American record. More Horsepower Aim. In the race for new speed heights, | lightness of engine—more horsepower per pound—is one of the desires of plane designers. With the use of mag- nestum, which is five or six times lighter than steel, th's has tained in the mystery ship: Clampett of San Franc'sco, one of the | pilots for the ships, said. . The engine of the larger of the two ships, which is rated at 275 horsepower, has a crank case. connecting rods, cylinders and_cylinder heads of pure | magnesium. The cylinders are_rein- | forced with thin steel sieeves. In the | ‘mystery " which is de- igned to develop 185 horsepower, some | of the magnesium parts are replaced | by the light alloy duralumin. Propel lers of both ships are magnesium in- | stead of steel. | The smallcr ship carries a four-cylin- | der Menasco engine, and the larger a six, with cylinders in lne. The planes have long streamlined fusclages of metal with retractible landing gzar. The smaller ship has a wing spread of 21 feet and a fuselage length of 17 feet, with an estimated engine speed of 240 miles an hour. The larger, with 2!} feet wing spread and 18 feet fusclage length, will attain, its designers esti-| ! mate, 290 miles an hour. Neither Ship Flown. Neither ship has been off tte ground. ‘The larger will be piloted in the L homp- n Trophy race Monday, and the maller probably in the Aerol Trophy race—a high-speed event for women, | Clampett said. | Flight Comdr. R. L. R. Atcherly of England yesterday took the air for the first time since his injury last Friday when he wrecked his plane while | landing.

SEPTEMBER 3, 1931 WIDOW ACQUITTED IN JONES SLAYING Mother of Eight, Accused by|" Son, Wins Speedy Verdict. By the Associated Press. AMELIA COURT HOUSE, Va., Sep- tember 3.—Mrs, Jeston Allen Jones, whose son had accused her from the witness stand of conspiring with a Negro farmhand to kill her husband, was ac- quitted of a murder charge by a jury yengrmz. 1t took the jury, which had been lis- tening to the ‘case for a week, just 33 minutes to reach a verdict. In closing arguments, defense coun- sel emphasized a theory that the hus- band, J. Will Jones, shot himself dur- ing the night of January 8 and was not murdered. Robert Jones, the son who testified, accused his mother of plotting the mur- der of his father with Richard Lee, the farmhand, who is now serving 20 years for the crime. Testifying in her own defense, the widow denied her son’s testimony. ‘Three daughters and two sons of the accused took the stand in her defense, including Oscar Jones, jointly indicted | with his mother, who wajved immunity to testify. The indictment against Oscar was dismissed after the verdict. @ WASHINGTON'S FINEST MEN'S WEAR STORE @ The Last 3 DAYS Sales End Saturday Assortments Are Broken, But W onderful Money-Saving Oppor- tunities Are Still Yours .....
