THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JANUARY 3, 1932—PART FOUR. AVIATION BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON. VIATION'S new year will begin with what promises to be the most elaborate air meet, aside from the National Air Races, held in the United States. This will be the All-American Alr Races in Miami, January 7. 8 and 9. Famous American and foreign flyers are | n and there will be many spectacular competitions for trophies offered by the United States and the Latin American countries. Foreign vl’.’snmrs will witness one of the largest concentrations of American fighting planes ever held at a civil air meet. 3 Preceding the meet there will be a conference of airport and air- transport leaders of the United States, which will be of importance to the National Capital, since one sessicn is to be devoted to the Columbia Island con'.rover: which has been a source of agitation here for months. The controversy, which has about the erecticn on Columbi to meet in competition, gistant when all airplanes will be equipped with variable pitch propellers which will be as useful and necessary to efficient operation as a gear shift is to automobile. The variable pitch pro- peller, in effect, is a great deal like an autcmobile gear shift, making possible the best possible appiication of engine power to the particular job in hand. raged Island tions from Washington-Hoover A L is to be transferred to Miami this week. John 8.

The purpose of the scssion will be constructive. From the Columbia Island dispute the conference will seek to draw conclusive arguments for th> neces- sity of control by nment—the Federal Government of construction in the vicinity of busy air terminals.
