A—4 ww NEW WIND TUNNEL TESTS PLANE SP Aviation Leaders Inspect Device That Eliminates {Test Flight Needs. BY JOSEPH S. EDGERTON, Btaft Correspondent of The Star. LANGLEY FIELD, HAMPTON, Va., May 23.—One of the most diffi- cult and dangerous phases of aero- nautical test work, the spinning of new airplanes to determine their safety characteristics, now can be ac- complished in the comfort and se- curity of the laboratory with abso- lute safety to all concerned, it has been demonstrated here to the largest gathering of the Nation's aeronautical leaders ever to attend the Annual Engineering Conference of the Na- tional Advisory Committee for Aero- nautics. The new free-spinning wind tun- nel, in which every phase of an air- plane spin may be studied with mi- croscopic exactness for the first time, | was the most important of the new | pleces of scientific equipment at the Langley Memorial Laboratory dem- onstrated yesterday and today as the representatives of the industry gathered to witness the results of a year of progress and map & program for the coming year. In the new tunnel scale models of any airplane may be put into the so- called “tail spin” or the even more dangerous flat spin and the controls | automatically operated in an effort to break the spin. Test Pilot Commends It. “Well, that's what I call real prog- ress,” remarked Lee Gehlbach, noted test pilot, who a few days ago nar- rowly escaped with his life when & new military airplane went into & spin which he could not break. “It's & whole lot better to sit here in the Jaboratory and watch the progress of ‘a spin than to have to watch from beneath a parachute an airplane | which you have had to leave spinning down over your head, with the ground rushing up at you, while you wonder whether the airplane is going to land on you.” In the new tunnel, shown to the in- dustry for the first time, the Govern- ment’s aeronautical scientists hope to work out designs for airplanes which will not possess dangerous spinning characteristics. This item of research is regarded as one of the most im- portant and difficult of the subjects concerned with the safety of flight. In the new tunnel, a rising vertical Jet of air 15 feet in diameter, subject to close velocity control, is employed. Models of the airplanes to be tested are launched in a spinning attitude in | the jet and the subsequent spin and | Tecovery or the resulting “crash” may | be observed at close range and re- corded by motion pictures. By means | of an automatic device incorporated | in the model, the control surfaces may | be operated in any manner and the | effect determined. 300 Examine Tunnel. Though the tunnel is new, it has been in operation for a sufficient | length of time to determine that the gpinning of models of standard air- | plaines in the tunnel agrees remark- gbly with that of the full size air- planes in the tunnel agrees remark- ¥ided one of the highlights for more than 300 of the Nation's aviation lead- ers at the tenth annual engineering conference yesterday. A majority of | the party returned to Washington to- | day aboard the Norfolk and Washing- | ton steamer. More than 160 repre- gentatives of Army and Navy aviation, crowded out yesterday, are going through the laboratories today. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh flew to the conference yesterday in his new two-place cabin monoplane. His plane was one of more than & score of all types which brought representatives | of the industry from many States. | BSenator Pat McCarran of Nevada, a member of the party from Washing- | ton, made a hurried flight back to Washington yesterday afternoon when he received word the bonus vote was due. New Tunnel Being Built. A new high velocity wind tunnel n which model airplanes may be sub- dected to velocities of up to 500 miles per hour is being constructed to fur- ther the designing of airplanes capa- ble of speeds more than double those of the transport airplanes of today. When a transport airplane flying between Washington and Pittsburgh yecently snapped a propeller, with re- sulting vibration which tore a wing engine out of the ship, it demon- strated the danger of metallic fatigue due to vibration and showed the ne- cessity for vibration studies now being conducted. In a new machine here propellers may be vibrated until they whip like willow wands. It has been proved that propeller fractures al- ways occur at the nodes of vibration gnd that by determining and trengthening these points much may be done to overcome failure of the metal. The demonstrations show that the characteristic roaring of an air- plane is due almost wholly to pro- peller vibration, the propeller acting precisely as does a tuning fork. New Landing Gear Shown. Fixed landing gear creating only a ¥ittle more resistance than some of the new retractable types was shown. By sinking rivet heads into “dimples” in sheet metal pontoons and floats 8 14 per cent reduction in friction may be obtained. It was shown that by minor changes in design of engine towlings far better cooling and speed may be obtained. Among those at the conference are ‘ol. Lindbergh, Maj. James H. Doo- ittle, Maj. Alford J. Williams, Vincent Bendix, Henry Berliner, Dr. Lyman V. Briggs, Dr. Charles G. Abbot, Rear ‘Admiral Mark L. Bristol, Rear Admiral Ernest J. King, Maj. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois, Brig. Gen.

Sardo, and the latter's wife, after the District Supreme Court had ordered him delivered to his mother. Albert doesn't want to leave his grandfather.

Sardo, local undertaker, noted an appeal from the decision. Justice Luhring de- cided he could keep the child until the appellate court takes action. “I don't want to go to live with my mother,” Albert sald, after he had returned from the District Su- preme Court today. “I want to stay with my grandfather.” The fight for possession of the boy followed the divorce and remarriage of the mother and the death of his father, Albert J. Sardo, who was killed in an automobile accident Feb- ruary 27. In obtaining her Reno di- vorce, the then Mrs. Sardo, agreed to let the father keep the child be- cause she expected to resume her work as a dental hygienist after obtaining the decree. She changed her plans, however, and shortly after the divorce married Dr. Joseph Villapiano, Georgetown University medical graduate and now a practicing physician in Asbury Park, N. J. The mother, however, kept in close touch with the boy, exchanging letters frequently and talking to him by tele- phone, When the father was killed, she came to Washington and de- manded her child, but the grand- father refused to give him up. Mrs. Villapiano then brought suit through In his answer, the grandfather contended Mrs. Villapiano had forfeited her right to the child on the theory she had abandoned him, that the child had no love and affection for her and that she was not a proper person to have custody of the boy. < ~Star Staff Photo. of indiscretion with Dr. Villapiano prior to her marriage to him. This was admitted by the mother, who said it occurred after she had stopped living with Sardo as husband and wife. Justice Luhring decided this indiscretion of the mother in 1933 af- |Xords no ground to deny her posses- | sion of the child at this time, if she is a fit and proper person now to have its custody and is now able to properly care for it. In support of this position he cited with approval | the following excerpt from another decision: “Can the court agree with the con- tention that the portals of hope of eternal salvation shall be forever closed to one guilty of acts of in- discretion in the past, whose conduct now is above reproach, showing con- vincing evidence of complete repent- ance and reformation? Legally it would be difficult; morally impossible. If, as is the case, the home of the mother seems eminently fitted to the reception of this little one, and the mother’s tender yearning for its pres- ence touching, and her reputation now above reproach, we feel that her | appeal cannot well be denied.” | R — | {4-CENT FARE NUISANCE ‘ SR | Passengers’ | Complaints Cause Road to Raise Rate to 5 Cents.

Migratory races took their herds with them on their travels. Wherever man settled, the cow was made to feel at home. As communities grew, the dis- tance between the source of supply and the resident “de- mand” became greater and greater. Consumers found it too diffi- cult to go to the cows. So the cows were brought to their dwellings. This was the original doorstep delivery and the beginning of milk routes. In Spain gaily caparisoned | cows are familiar sights. They announce their busi- ness with the lively jingle of their bells. They scale their abundance to the customer’s order. In other countries the cow is represented by perambula- tory cans propelled through the streets by horse, donkey, dog and man power. The point is to get milk from the source to the customer as dependably as the in- genuity of the milkman, whatever his race, creed, or color, can contrive, Picturesqueness is aby-product. In America the corporate milk- man has made it his job to see that his perishable com- modity is handled with all the care and dispatoh im- plied by its vital importance. The corporate milkman may be short on local color; but he is long on local responsi- bility, Y PRESIDENT CHESTNUT FARMS- CHEVY CHASE DAIRY b In New York . . an outside room with bath, shower and radio and $3.50 for two persons HOTEL MONTCLAIR Lexington Ave. at 49th St., N.

A speech by BSecretery of State Hull was interpreted today as & new indication the New Deal would be cordial to moves from abroad toward co-operation in phases of the Roose- velt economic program. SBome quarters even saw a cautious overture for a new world economic conference: in the radio address Hull made yesterday. Though he did not mention any such possibility, he called for closer co-operation among na- tions to revive world trade. “Today the whole world stands on the threshold of a great industrial and commercial revival,” he said, “if the nations will co-operate in a pro- gram to remove the obstacles that| stand in the way, and to rebuild the | economic foundations and structures shattered by the depression.” It was recalled that Secretary of | the Treasury Morgenthau recently in- directly invited overtures toward in- ternational stabilization of currencies.

N.W.'5o tempts to increase foreign trade through reciprocal trade treaties. President Roosevelt, in a “Maritim Day” message read by Hull yesterday, said these “treaties are already bear- ing fruit and similar treaties which are expected to be similarly beneficial are in the process of being nego- tiated.” Declaring extreme economic nation- alism to be the “curse of this age” Hull cited what he termed hindrances to recovery, among them: “International chaos in production, exchange and distribution in which we now find ourselves, the breakdown of international monetary stability, the utter dislocation of the interna- tional price structure, the trade jam, the damming up of surpluses, the artificial canalizing of trade by short- sighted preferential arrangements to which nations have clutched like drowning men in a desperate effort to survive, the destruction of equal trade opportunity in fair interna- tional competition, and the effort on every hand to choke off every pos- sible driblet of imports, and, at the same time, to push exports by subsi- dies, dumping, and other artificial | devices.” Name Beguiles Thief.
