By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 6.—Five great world powers knew tonight what was being kept carefully from the people of Germany—the Reichs’ detalled pro- gram of naval construction for 1935-36. Under the pledge of secrecy, mili- tary attaches of Great Britaln, the United States, France, Japan and Italy were told last night exactly what tonnage the German Navy has and will have at the end of 1936, what categories of ships she has built, is building and intends to build, and what submarines and speedboats are under construction or planned. An authoritative source said the notification did not suggest that those informed make known their own posi- tions. It was taken for granted in diplo- matic circles, however, that the “notification” was in the nature of a “build-up” for Reichsfuehrer Hitler's endeavor to obtain a general naval agreement. Rumors were current among various foreign chancellories that Der Reichs- fuehrer would like some sort of an | air force hook-up between Germany, Poland and Hungary, and it was said this proposal was discussed during the recent visit here of Foreign | commercial and transport pilots, in-| Minister Joseph Beck of Poland. | dividual plane owners and oil com-| Italy's Ethiopian venture was also panies—to give any and all informa-|one of Hitler's week-end preoccupa- tion desired in the matter of air trav- | tions.

CHARLES BOSS DIES: RETIRED FIREMAN Father of Real Estate Firm Mem- ber Figured in Spectac- ular Blazes. Charles S. Boss, father of H. K. Boss of the real estate firm of Boss | & Phelps and the oldest retired fire- man in the District, died yesterday at his home, 1417 Perry place. He | was 83 years old. Born October 12, 1851, Mr. Boss was appointed to the District Fire Department in September, 1877. He served first at No. 4 Engine Co., then for a time at Truck B. After serving with No. 1 Engine for a number of years, he was appointed an assistant foreman and in 1886, he was made a full foreman. Mr. Boss was the first fireman to reach the scene of a fire February 3, 1890, at the home of the then Secre- tary of Navy Benjamin F. Tracy. Mrs. Tracy and her maid lost their lives in the fire. On February 4, 1882, Mr. Boss battled a blaze in the old Jefferson School when a terrific explosion caused the death of several firemen. Mr. Boss had been on the retired list for about 30 years and was con- sidered the oldest living retired fire- man in Washington. “WRONG MAN” SHOT; DEATH IS EXPECTED George Mullen Reported Dying. W. H. Platt Being De- tained. A shooting following a Fourth of July argument resulted in the critical wounding just before last midnight of George Mullen, alias “Bricktop,” 28, of 413 Sixth street. Mullen was shot through the abdomen with a .32 calibre revolver bullet, said by police to have been fired by William Henry Platt, 27, of 1028 Eighth street. Mullen was placed in a taxicab by Platt and rushed to Emergency Hos- pital, where it was said his chances of recovery are slight. According to Detective R. L. Man- ning of the Second Precinct, who was a short distance away when the shoot- ing occurred on L street near Ninth street, Platt had had an argument on July 4 with a man identified only as | “Ross.” Platt accused Ross of having | thrown a firecracker too near the for- mer's wife, Evelyn Platt.

InYormation Bureau Set-up. { In order to answer the questions of licensed pilots in the United States, | who have grown in numbers from none in 1903 to 14,037 at the present time, | some sort of central information bu- | reau had to be set up. ‘The result has | been the establishment of the Bureau of Air Commerce, a clearing house of data pertaining to flying fields and air conditions. Over the air, telegraph, telephone and teletype, from each of the reg- istered airports comes constantly a flood of varied information: improved landing facilities; changing meteoro- logical conditions; hangars in process of construction; altered code flashes of beacons, times of their broadcast- ing, and topographical aspects of the fields. All this matter comes into the hands of Groves for immediate dis- semination in the form of pamphlets, bulletins, letters and answers to in- quaries by telephone. Periodically the bureau issues a fat airway bulletin, called “Descriptions of Airports and Landing Fields in the United States.” Besides a section dealing with general airway informa- tion, which in itself is a fascinating story and an encyclopedia of aerial intelligence, it contains 48 other di- visions for the States, and is broken down into subsections for each of the airports within those States. Full of Airport Lore. Besides aiding in the editing of this bulletin, Groves' main concern is the accumulation and correlation of data about proposed and current changes in all existing flelds, and acquisition of full information about new fields recently registered or in process of construction. This information goes out from his department ¥n the form of weekly notices to airmen all over the Nation and keeps the larger air- way bulletin up to the minute. As a consequence of years of han- dling this mass of detail Groves is a walking tome of sky harbors lore. A map of the United States to him is a vivid graph of curved lines, arrows, dots and numbers, all a system of cerulean shorthand denoting distances across country from one airport to another, wind directions and speeds about the ports, and minute physical topography on and around the land- ing fields. Literally, every dot on the two blue- prints and aerial-topographical map, each for every one of the airports in the United States, kept on file in the bureau, has a meaning all its own for spots” in the atmosphere are never a | gasoline having an octane rating of | | engineer, desired all maps, charts and | information which would ald him in assembling & complete airways map of the State of Iowa. On the same day a rancher in Western Texas, wrote in that he had put the fnishing touches on a private landing field and. inclosing aerial photographs and! ground charts, advised the Bureau that his field was ready to be included in the list in the Bulletin if every- thing was all right. He had con- structed his private port according to information and directions previ- ously furnished by Groves' depart- ment. Incidentally, there are about a score of such fields in Texas and | the nearby Southwest plains country. | Ranchers there are gradually aban- doning the roadways as a method of getting about and are taking to the air in their own planes, says Groves. | So, if you are thinking of going | to your vacation spot in your own | 'plane, write or call John Groves.

Bandit Group Reported Roaming Along Southern Side of Great Wall. By the Associated Press. PEIPING, July 6 (#).—Rumors that rebels were gathering northeast of Peiping to launch another attack at this “forbidden city” caused little stir today. A group of bandits was reported roaming along the southern side of the Great Wsll, but authorities as- serted patrols had scattered the marauders. (An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Peiping to London said 2,000 bandits concentrated at Chang Ting Hsien, 25 miles north of Peiping, had announced by pamphlets their in- tention to attack and capture the city Saturday or Sunday.)

He declared that he had been personally offended by Atlee’s expressions against the Fascist regime. Atlee refused, declaring: “The fact of your proving superior in armed combat is quite irrelevant to the issue of the propriety of your government's action in Ethiopia.” Capt. Fanelli's friends said they did not know what further steps he would take, but that he would pursue his chalienge. — — SAVE MONEY ON STORAGE and MOVING All Farniture Carefully Crated and Packed by Experts Long Distance Movers Fine Fur Coats Fumigated and Stored i» Moth-Proof * : § menian Experts. 1313 U St. Phone 2 3! $ D.
